Chapter 190 Can we win the game?

"Mike, are you still leaving? It's already twelve o'clock."

Stotts looked with admiration at D'Antoni, who was still concentrating on watching the Spurs game video. Their tactical meeting ended at nine o'clock in the evening. He worked overtime until eleven o'clock and forgot the key in the briefcase in the conference room. , When he came back to get the keys, he didn't expect that D'Antoni would stay here to watch the video and do analysis after everyone left. Stotts, who was not satisfied with D'Antoni's sloppy defensive tactics, now fully agrees that he is A head coach who is as hardworking and dedicated as himself!

"It's twelve o'clock?"

D'Antoni reacted after hearing Stotts' reminder, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, D'Antoni slowly stood up and moved his body, yawned and said to Stotts: "It's okay, You go back first, and I'll take a look."

"We have a game against the Spurs tomorrow night."

Stotts kindly reminded D'Antoni, seeing D'Antoni's indifferent smile, Stotts was silent, then smiled, and then put his briefcase on the table under D'Antoni's surprised gaze , Loosen his tie and sat down.

"You can go home and rest."

D'Antoni said with a smile.

"It does, but I think it makes more sense to be here now."

Stotts shrugged.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the Phoenix Sun conference room was brightly lit at night.

……

Press your legs and shake your hands.

Gao Tian is warming up on his own. Today he came to the training hall for training as usual, next to Nash who is also warming up as usual. Gao Tian is used to this kind of life. After playing games or finishing daily training Sleep in and get up early to train, regardless of the outside media has been doubting his sexual orientation, he has always insisted on doing what he likes.

In their eyes, there is no such young player who never goes to nightclubs, and his only hobby is training every day. Is such a person really the best rookie this year or even the best rookie in history?

He should go to San Antonio.

Many media and fans joked on the Internet that Gao Tian's life is really monotonous and boring. It is exactly what a young man should be. He trains and trains almost every day. The media who have been secretly filming Gao Tian are going crazy. Oh, how can there be such a star?

He is one of the strongest rookies in the history of the NBA. He is not a rookie who is not drafted or has no status or strength in the team. Such a player who is full of talent in every part of his body is actually as active as an old man who is about to retire. He insists on training day after day, except that he likes to eat some foods that athletes are forbidden to eat. In other places, he is definitely a model of professional players. Doesn't he need entertainment?

At the end of the regular season, a reporter finally couldn't help it anymore. Their team has followed Gao Tian for nearly a month, but they have been watching Gao Tian's three-point line from home to the restaurant to the training hall. Gao Tian's life is like this when the sun doesn't play. Desperately, they asked Gao Tian if the hard training would make him feel tired and bored?

Under everyone's gaze, Gao Tian just said, are you tired of eating and drinking?

……

It's okay, you have the final say.

Since then, no one has asked this question again, but Gao Tian doesn't know how much his words have dealt a blow to those young people who are working hard for their dreams. Players who are more talented than you work harder than you. This reality It is so cruel and merciless.

"Gao, what do you think of the game tonight?"

Gao Tian was a little surprised when he heard Nash's question. Usually, they both trained themselves and rarely had any redundant communication, but he didn't expect Nash to ask him this question on his own initiative today. Looking at Nash with expectant eyes, Gao Tian sighed slightly in his heart, the shadow left by the Spurs on the sun was too deep, even Nash was worried about the result of the game, let alone the players of the sun, if they played normally, the sun might not have much Odds of winning, after all, the Spurs' restraint on the Suns is too powerful.

"Do you think we have any hope of victory?"

Gao Tian asked Nash back.

"Hope of victory?"

Nash's eyes gradually lost focus, he seemed to think of something, looking at Nash standing there blankly, Gao Tian didn't know what Nash thought, but he knew that Nash must not lose confidence in such a critical game, otherwise the Suns It's really over.

Gao Tian, ​​who just wanted to encourage Nash again, just opened his mouth, Nash suddenly let go of his frown, looked deeply at Gao Tian and said slowly: "I understand, Gao."

……

Gao Tian looked at Nash who picked up the ball and regained his vitality with a confused face. He hasn't spoken yet, how could Nash understand?

Gao Tian, ​​who stood and thought about the meaning of Nash's words for a while, was a little confused. He didn't know what Nash understood, and then he didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, as long as Nash regained his confidence, the sun would rise from top to bottom. They can be twisted into a rope. No matter how strong the Spurs are, they still have the power to fight. Nash is the lower limit of the Suns. Without Nash, the Suns lost almost all their tactical systems in an instant. Tigers, no matter how sharp their teeth are, they cannot bite humans.

"Good evening, audience friends. This is the front reporter of TNT. We are now located outside the Phoenix West Arena. Although there is still more than an hour before the start of the game, you can see and have some Nearly [-] passionate Phoenix fans gathered outside the arena to cheer for their team..."

Charles Barkley looked at the fans with oil paint on their faces and sun jerseys flashing past in front of the camera with complicated eyes. What a familiar and nostalgic feeling this is!

Although Barkley has experienced several teams in his career, there is no doubt that the Suns are the team with the deepest feelings and the most fetters. He has stayed here in his most peak years, and he also brought the Suns to the finals , but lost to Jordan's Bulls in the end. The Suns that year were the best Suns, but in the end he still failed to live up to the expectations of the fans and did not bring them a championship that they dreamed of. This is the biggest in his life. Pity.

Looking at the current sun, he seems to see his own sun at the beginning. He is enthusiastic and full of vitality. Everyone is full of confidence in the future, but he has a question in his heart. The original sun lost to the Bulls. Can the Spurs win?

Emotionally, he undoubtedly supports the Suns, but as a host, he has to put a big question mark on this issue. For a team like the Spurs whose playoffs are completely different from the regular season, can the Suns win their old enemy Spurs?

Offense wins games, but defense wins championships!

What the Suns are not good at is precisely defense. Facing a team like the Spurs, their defensive weaknesses will be infinitely magnified.

The sun in the past couldn't do anything, but now they can do it?
