Chapter 235 Phoenix's Desire!(2/2)
It is precisely because of this misfortune that after the team unexpectedly reached the Western Conference Finals this year, they burst out with all their desires!
…
There is still one day until the Western Conference Finals starts.
Because the Lakers have home court advantage, the game will start in Los Angeles first.
It was afternoon when the Suns arrived in Los Angeles, and Gentry had no training scheduled.
Playing against the Lakers not only has to pass the physical test, but also has to pass the psychological test. He doesn't want his players to be too anxious before the game.
Lin Ying and Brooke talked on the phone, and then went to the training gym.
Brooke's movie has been filmed and she originally planned to go back to the UK, but because Lin Ying was about to play in a competition, she postponed her plan.
However, she also knew that this game was very important to Lin Ying, so she refrained from coming to see him. Instead, she waited until the day of the game before going to the Staples Center.
Mature women have the advantage of being mature women, they know where they are most comfortable for men.
When Lin Ying arrived at the training hall, what he never expected was that Stoudemire came earlier than him!
"I was so excited that I couldn't sleep."
Seeing Lin Ying coming, Xiaosi said with a smile.
And he had just arrived, and the two of them were warming up and chatting on the sidelines.
"I take back what I said last summer, when I said it would take us two to three years to win the championship. I think this year is our best chance!"
Stoudemire's attitude has undergone a 180° turn from before.
"For sweeping the Spurs?"
Lin Ying asked.
"Yes, I thought we could beat them, but I didn't expect we could win so easily. It's a bit strange to say, but I think this is the best year for the team's strength and state since I came to the Suns."
Stoudemire is very passionate on the court and very quiet off the court. His speaking like this shows that he is really confident now.
"I know we are about to face the Lakers. They are very strong, but I don't think we are weaker than them!"
And before Lin Ying could get ahead of him, he continued to speak eloquently and even stopped his warm-up movements.
"But we also have to anticipate the difficulties we may encounter."
Lin Ying nodded, but still spoke to remind him.
"I know this, but this time it's not just for myself, I will do my best for Steve."
Xiaosi's tone was extremely firm when he said this.
Although they achieve mutual success, as the saying goes, the opponent is short-handed. He has been fed by Nash for so many years, and Nash's meaning to him is also very different.
He is still young and still has a chance, but Nash is really the tail end of the last two years.
The uncrowned king of two consecutive MVPs?
This ending is so sad.
"Yes, we all do."
Although Lin Ying was not as impressed as Stoudemire, because he and Nash had only been teammates for one year.
And he does it more because he wants to win this championship.
But this is not a conflict. They all have enough reasons to win the championship.
While they were chatting, Nash appeared at the door.
Talk about Liu Bei, Liu Bei is here.
"Why are you here too?"
Nash was obviously a little surprised.
Now, Gentry arranged for the team to rest, and as a result, the three core members of the team came to train!
And it wasn't just Nash who got up, one after another, all the Suns players came to the training facility!
Obviously they didn't all have an appointment, but the scene was still shocking.
Lin Ying naturally thought of his previous experience in Denver.
At that time, in order to keep everyone motivated, he suggested that the whole team practice more to express their attitude.
But the Suns didn't even need his suggestion, they all came on their own!
Sure enough, comparison is the scariest thing.
What was even more surprising to him was that a group of people didn't leave in a hurry after training. Instead, they sat down and talked about how to beat the Lakers tomorrow.
Some people say that on the defensive end, they can consider letting Ariza directly cover Kobe;
Some people say that the pace should be faster and the Lakers will not be comfortable playing in the triangle;
Some people say that they should beware of the Lakers grabbing Nash in the opening game;
This is the rhythm that transforms everyone into a master tactician.
But what Lin Ying could feel was the strongest desire.
When you are very eager to do something well, you will use all your wisdom.
From the tactical level to the offensive details of a certain player.
The advantage of this kind of collective effort is that all the details and opinions can be brought together, and you will really find a lot of useful new things.
Even Lin Ying found some.
For example, Butler described in detail some of Kobe's offensive habits that he didn't even know about.
After everyone discussed it, he actually had the same sense of boldness that Stoudemire had before.
They really have a chance this time!
And if you count the NBA championships in recent years, you will find that this emotion of "desire" plays a crucial role in them.
The three old men of the Celtics in 2008 came together because of their extreme desire for the championship, not to mention Kobe's revenge in 2009.
Even if you look back with the eyes of history, the year the Mavericks won the championship in 2011 fully reflected this point in history.
And that is also the most obvious label on this Suns team now!
Thinking about it, he was already a little impatient!
And he is also looking forward to what kind of expression Kobe will have when he sees such a sun appearing in front of him.
…
The next night, the Staples Center was packed.
Among all the Hollywood movie stars on the sidelines, Nicholson is still the most handsome one.
Of course Brooke was also sitting in the front row, she should be the only one supporting the Suns.
Half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides began to enter the field one after another.
Chapter completed!
