Chapter 83 The most dynamic end of the season(1/2)
"Ride and dunk Tyler Hansbrough, the Chinese beast dunks "Five-star North Carolina"! "
"Nothing is impossible, "super rookie" the sun leads the team to defeat North Carolina! "
"This is the charm of "March Madness", the "dark horse" Sun Devils win the first championship in team history! "
24 hours after the NCAA finals, similar reports were posted on major websites for a day, and the popularity remained high. Even though the NBA had rekindled the war on the first day after the NCAA finals, it did not affect the NCAA finals at all.
subsequent popularity.
The main reason is naturally that the result of this game went beyond everyone's predictions. No one expected that "Five-Star North Carolina" would capsize!
Another reason is that the stars who watched this game all commented on the sun in interviews.
LeBron James: "He is unbelievable. He is the kind of opponent that will give you a headache. I look forward to him coming to the NBA. This guy is great!"
What did LeBron say?
He said the sun was great?
No, that's not right, he said he wanted to be teammates with the sun!
Yes, yes, yes!
I understood!
Cavaliers general manager David Griffin said he was on the fifth floor.
Dwyane Wade: "I think we need some fresh blood to stimulate this team. When I saw the sun, I became more convinced of this idea."
Pat Riley: Sample, don’t you just need to be a good teammate? Wait, don’t worry, everything you should have will be there!
Yao Ming: "Needless to say? This game proved that Lin Ri is that kind of incredible guy!"
Domestic media: Chinese players, Chinese soul, Chinese players are all superior in the NBA, come on, Chinese players!
However, not all stars smile when talking about Lin Ri.
There are also some who have a straight face.
Just like Amar'e Stoudemire in Phoenix.
After watching the live game of The Sun that day, he could feel that he heard this name significantly more times.
Whether it's Steve Nash or Steve Kerr, he will always say this name twice when he has nothing to do.
This gradually made him feel very uncomfortable.
He didn’t know why he felt like this when he heard the name The Sun. It might be the mutual repulsion between players of the same type, or maybe more and more voices are calling The Sun an “enhanced version of Amalestad.”
Meyer".
An enhanced version of me?
What kind of joke is this?
Amare is a very proud player.
Back then, he was dissatisfied that Yao Ming was ranked higher than him, and now he is dissatisfied that Lin Ri is an enhanced version of him.
Of course, it may be that his contract is about to expire next year, and the team has chosen a "pie-eating" insider for two consecutive years, which makes him a little sensitive.
In short, when faced with questions about Lin Ri, his expression was particularly stiff: "North Carolina is not as strong as outsiders imagined. It can be seen from the game that none of the three inside players can pull out to hit the mid-range shot.
If one guy could do that, it would be hard for the Sun Devils to win this game!"
What he said was true.
It just made the reporter interviewing him understand other meanings.
The news headline immediately started - "Is the Sun overrated? Amare Stoudemire: An inside player who can hit the mid-range shot can solve him!"
Amare Stoudemire:???That’s what I mean?
"The Suns are very likely to get the No. 1 pick this year. In your opinion, will the team get the Sun with this pick?"
"This is a decision that Steve Kerr can make. You should ask him. I am just a player. Winning is what I should consider!"
Okay, I know - "Dissatisfied with the team waiting for the sun? Amare Stoudemire expressed dissatisfaction in the post-game interview!"
Amare Stoudemire: I...
Is it okay if I don’t say anything?
Okay - "Dissatisfied, Amare Stoudemire immediately blackfaced when he heard the question about the sun!"
Amare Stoudemire:...Please let me go~
The attention these remarks have aroused is neither big nor small. After all, the Suns are a strong contender for the No. 1 pick in 2009. At this time, Stoudemire was frequently exposed to have negative feelings about Lin Ri and Lin Ri.
, this actually affects the unity of the team and the construction of the team.
Therefore, Steve Kerr immediately talked to Stoudemire.
"Please believe that the core of the Suns will still be you and Steve. This will not change!"
"The sun is very talented, but it is something in the future. He still needs some time to grow!"
"Believe me, at the end of next year's season, we will send you a contract that satisfies you!"
After a comprehensive round of comfort, Steve Kerr felt that Stoudemire's mood had obviously stabilized a lot, and he was relieved to continue with his great cause of "making a mess"!
As for his promises...
Can you trust what a man says?
Besides, now is the most critical moment!
There are currently 7 teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences that have not won even 20 games.
The Suns and Grizzlies are the leaders, both with 15 wins and 61 losses.
But the situation is not optimistic. The Thunder currently have 15 wins and 60 losses. If the Thunder lose this game tonight, their record will be the same as theirs, that is, the three companies will "go hand in hand."
In addition, there are the Los Angeles Clippers with 17 wins and 59 losses, and the New York Knicks with 18 wins and 58 losses...these bad teams are watching behind them.
Not to mention, the Suns will have to play one game each against the Thunder and the Knicks in the remaining games. If they win these games, wouldn't they be in vain?
Under such circumstances, Steve Kerr must keep an eye on himself to ensure that the Suns become the worst team this season!
Therefore, when Steve Kerr learned that Stoudemire was dissatisfied, Steve Kerr felt that his heart stopped for a moment. He did not want to "fire in the backyard" at such a critical moment.
Fortunately, he successfully calmed down Xiaosi.
…
Something no one thought of!
When the regular season of the 2008-09 season came to an end, the biggest suspense turned out to be the few bad teams in the league!
No one cares whether the Philadelphia 76ers have secured the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, and no one cares about the final outcome of the battle between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets for fourth or fifth place in the Western Conference.
All fans are discussing who will eventually become the "bottom king" of the league this season, because that means that they have the highest probability of getting the No. 1 pick and becoming the guy most likely to get the sun.
"This is ridiculous! The entire league is now thinking about how to lose instead of how to win. This is not the right thing. The league cannot sit idly by and ignore this!"
Larry Bird openly fired at this time.
He was actually messing up before, but he was a bit late. Now he had said goodbye to the "vanguard" who was messing up early. Even after he was messing up for a while, the Pacers finally
Reaching the playoffs... don't you think this is annoying?
Larry Bird was very angry, so he wanted to add some trouble to these bad guys.
It’s just that the people in this alliance are really better than the last.
Steve Kerr said: "This year is a difficult season for the Suns. We have injured many core players, which has caused us some problems in running in. I think it will take time!" It's not that I don't want to win,
But there are too many injured players in our team.
Thunder general manager Presti: "For the Thunder, we can see that the growth of young players is more important than winning one or two more games at this time. We are moving in a good direction. For a team that has just moved to
It’s not easy for Oklahoma’s new team!” I also want to win, but if the reconstruction of a small city doesn’t work like this, what else can it do?
New York President Donnie Walsh: "The Knicks have gone through a difficult time. Even some guys who are no longer playing on the team can still take a large amount of money from us every year. We need time to
Restore our strength." I spent all my money, but I don't have any players available. What if I don't lose?
After Larry Bird openly fired his shots and the official position had not yet been expressed, the people involved in those who were trying to ruin the team all stood up and cleared the air.
Now, let me show you the wounds. We don’t want to show them off. We are really in trouble. Larry Bird is not talking about us, he is talking about other people!
Then……
That night, the Suns lost to the Bulls at home 106-120, and their record became 15 wins and 62 losses.
Steve Kerr: "Look, after trying so hard, we still lost!"
One day later, the Thunder lost to the Lakers on the road 103-118, and their record became 15 wins and 62 losses.
Presti: "It's just a little bit off, what a pity!"
Two days later, the New York Knicks lost to the Hawks at home 100-115, and their record became 18-59.
Donnie Walsh: "On the bright side, we at least made it to the fourth quarter!"
To be continued...
