May 25, 2008, Eastern Washington University’s training facility.

Rockets head coach Adelman frowned a little as he looked at the banners hanging around Eastern Washington University that read, "Celebrate the Houston Rockets winning the 2008 World Championship!"

After the second game between the Rockets and the SuperSonics, the whole world was optimistic about him and his Rockets.

There have been a lot of comments like this around him and his Rockets lately.

The 2008 NBA championship is of course what he wants most.

He was drafted by the San Diego Rockets in the seventh round in 1968. Since joining the NBA, this year is exactly the 40th year!

In his forty-year NBA career, whether as a player or as a head coach, he has never been able to win an NBA championship.

As one of the oldest people in the NBA, he himself does not deny that this has become one of his worries.

He longs to win a championship!

He has also been extremely close to the championship!

When he was with the Kings, he always felt that he should have become the championship.

But in the end, someone stole his championship.

The king's experience made him understand many, many things.

Let him know that there are always many surprises in this world.

Even if your team is stronger than your opponent and performs better than your opponent, you still can't resist your opponent. In overtime, you scored 12 points, 8 of which were free throws. Your opponent didn't commit a single foul, and you didn't get a single free throw but had 6 fouls.

Even if you are about to touch the championship trophy, you still can't withstand your opponent's 27 free throws in the fourth quarter and your own 16 fouls.

There are too many surprises in this world.

There are so many that people feel that they are hard to guard against.

He didn't like such an accident very much.

He also hates such accidents.

If possible, he wanted to nip all these accidents in the cradle.

And coming to the Rockets this season to replace Van Gundy Jr. is an opportunity that can kill all surprises.

He got the team he dreamed of.

In his playing career and his coaching career, he has never seen such a strong team.

Finally, he could kill all those damn accidents in the cradle.

Finally, he could use his upright strength to nip all conspiracies in the cradle.

Finally, even the most disgusting accident and the most disgusting human factors could not take away his championship from his hands!

Adelman reluctantly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

Although I don’t really like those people at Eastern Washington University who hate Washington University and hate Yes, putting up signs like this.

But I have to say that these slogans are indeed enough to shake people's hearts.

After all, this is the championship!

Whether it is him or the players under him, everyone is full of desire for that trophy.

eager!

Deep desire!

However, we still have to wait before we can touch and truly hold this trophy.

This time, he will be patient and use the most unparalleled patience in history to welcome this championship!

According to his character in the past, when faced with a schedule like this year's regional finals due to the Olympics, he would choose a quick victory.

A quick victory not only gives you a chance, but also gives your opponent a chance. At the same time, it also gives you the chance for certain accidents to occur.

This time, he won't make any mistakes again!

He doesn't like this schedule, but he enjoys the process!

In his basketball career, he has never looked forward to the next game so much.

May 25, 2008, night, Seattle Key Arena.

Amid deafening cheers from all the Seattle fans, the third game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Houston Rockets is about to begin.

"I never thought that one day I would come back here in this capacity..."

"What I didn't expect was that at this time, the fans in Seattle would still give you such huge applause and cheers."

"yes……"

Roy nodded with emotion.

The eternal son of Seattle...

This is really a cheer that makes people feel mixed emotions.

Roy was moved by the cheers from the Seattle fans.

But at the same time, he needs to be ready to eliminate Seattle's favorite Son of God from Seattle...

According to the way the Rockets have steadily eliminated the Lakers and Thunder, if the Rockets eliminate the SuperSonics in Game 6, then it happens to be at the SuperSonics' home court.

Of course, just because the Rockets eliminated the Thunder and Lakers in six games does not mean that the Rockets eliminated the SuperSonics in six games.

The six-game series with the Rockets was achieved through the madness of Kobe and the Lakers players, as well as Paul and the Thunder players.

If Ye and the Sonics players are not that strong to win, then the Rockets would not mind eliminating the Sonics in five games.

If possible, Roy certainly hopes to eliminate the Sonics in five games.

At the very least, he won't have to bear too much psychological burden by eliminating the Sonics and Leafs in Houston.

Although these psychological burdens will not affect his pursuit of victory.

but……

After enjoying the cheers from the SuperSonics fans at the scene, Roy quickly felt the emotional changes of the SuperSonics fans at the scene.

Because next it's the turn of the Sonics players to take the stage.

The son of Seattle who truly belongs to Seattle forever will also appear!

"Here comes the champion from Illinois, NBA three-point champion, Quentin Richardson of DePaul University!"

Um?!

Just when Roy was ready to listen to the on-site DJ cheering for the SuperSonics starting players, the first SuperSonics player to appear on the stage immediately gave Roy a dream.

Not Durant?!

Not to mention Roy, the other Rockets players next to him, the media reporters on the sidelines, and the Seattle SuperSonics fans in the stands were all stunned.

After a moment of stunned silence, there was an uproar.

"Durant had physical problems in the last game. Durant didn't play in this game. Could it be that he was injured?!"

"Injured? No way?!"

"If he wasn't injured, why didn't he play in such an important game? And Durant was not among the SuperSonics substitutes who came out first!"

"Will Durant's playing order be changed?"

Soon, those who speculated whether Durant's playing order had been changed gave up such speculation.

Because all the SuperSonics players still didn't see Durant after Yees made his final appearance.

"Durant persisted for two games, but he can't persist anymore?!"

For a time, the atmosphere of the entire Key Arena changed dramatically.

At this time, on the other side, in the Seattle SuperSonics locker room, Durant was lying on the physical therapy bed, looking at the scene from the Key Arena on the TV in front of him with bright eyes.

"kd, I hope you can take a break in the next game."

Ignoring the changes in the strength of the team doctor's massage techniques behind him, Durant clenched his hands tightly into fists.

He wants to play!

He doesn't want to waste any chance of victory!

But he knew that his presence in this game would have no effect.

Thinking of this, Durant closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, at KeyArena.

Because Durant did not play, the entire arena was in an uproar.

There is no way, Durant is not the Durant he used to be.

The whole world knows that Durant is now the most important helper around Yes.

Although the suspense of this series is gone, if Durant is really injured, yes may lose all dignity in the end.
To be continued...
