Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 231 Treat it as the last game of your career

Move time forward a little.

When Skiles attended the pre-game press conference and walked into the locker room with his assistant coach, the locker room, which was expected to have a relaxed atmosphere, was silent without a sound.

Hardaway sat in his seat, wearing headphones and closing his eyes silently.

Opposite him, Ewing sat quietly, rubbing his hands with no expression on his face.

Olajuwon was in a corner of the locker room, pacing back and forth, muttering something in a low voice, as if praying.

Except for them, everyone else was minding their own business without saying a word.

"What's going on?" Scales came to Nelson's side, with some panic in his eyes.

There's something wrong with this atmosphere.

Nelson shook his head slightly. He didn't know what happened. From the moment he entered the locker room and started preparing for the game, everyone seemed to be in low spirits.

"Actually, we are still missing one person." Kidd suddenly said.

He turned his head, glanced at everyone one by one, and then said in a powerful voice: "I will play this game as the last game of my career."

Scales scratched his head in pain. It would be great if Chen Yu was here at this time.

At this point in the series, he felt that tactics no longer played a big role. It was all about will and competition for the championship.

Skiles followed the crowd with his eyes, took a deep breath, and glanced at several assistant coaches.

Although I am 40 years old, at this moment, I still need to bloom with all my strength and give everything I have.

"Scott, you don't need to say any more." Ewing looked up, his eyes calm and profound: "You have done everything, and the next game belongs to us."

He also came over and put his right hand on his hand.

And when Ewing said that he would play this game as the last game of his career, Skiles knew that the Suns would win today.

It stands to reason that the previous strategy has taken effect and the Lakers' conflicts have been put on the table. Even in the final tiebreaker, the Suns' winning rate will be greatly improved, and everyone should be happy.

"Win the game!"

Scales waved and followed.

Kidd, Marion, Gugliotta.

His words were not loud, but they moved everyone.

Even young people like Tsakalidis, who had never appeared in the playoffs, squeezed into the crowd and stretched out his right hand, with an unprecedented serious expression on his face.

"Do you want to say something?" Nelson whispered.

Everyone has their own ideas, pursuing bigger contracts to realize their dreams, to take the last reluctant step in their careers, to prove themselves, to chase their dreams, and to gain the halo of championships.

There is no way out, so we must fight with all our might.

Hardaway waved his hand and walked out of the locker room first.

Everyone followed one after another.

But before the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by Ewing.

When the slogan of domestic violence appeared in the stands, it was the darkest moment of his career, but it was because of Chen Yu that he came out. Deep in his heart, his gratitude to Chen Yu was no more than Hada's Westbrook.

Then Hardaway stood up without saying a word and stretched out his right hand.

But with the situation in front of him, Nelson wondered if he was taking this game too seriously, causing everyone to be too nervous.

Skiles looked at everyone blankly. He understood that everyone was not under pressure, but had the consciousness to fight with all their strength.

No one shouted slogans, everyone looked at each other, as if everything had been told.

Olajuwon stopped praying, walked over, patted Scales on the shoulder, then stood in the middle of everyone and extended his right hand.

If you lose, you will have nothing and end your career with endless regrets.

After all, this game can be said to be directly related to the ownership of the championship.

Everyone yelled at the same time.

He thought for a while, came to the center of the locker room, coughed slightly, and was about to speak.

Opposite him, Ewing nodded vigorously and roared out from deep in his chest.

If you win, your life will come true.

But everyone has the same goal, just for the championship.

Ewing stood up immediately and put his big hand on it.

"gone!"

And then there’s the coaching staff, Nelson.

"Win the game!"

Hardaway grinned: "I think at this time, he must be watching live TV and with us. In the past two years, he has done a lot and saved many of us, so we have no reason to lose."

"Let's go."

But Skiles also knows that mentality is very important. If you don't say something at this time, it will be the end of someone else's home court.

The entire Staples Center was like a boiling golden ocean, and Bryan, dressed in a suit, was standing on the sidelines.

Today is a big day for the team.

"Is there any problem?" Brian asked Nelson loudly, his ears filled with the cheers of Lakers fans, and he couldn't even hear his voice.

Nelson shook his head and gave another thumbs up.

Brian patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the top box, and motioned for him to go there first.

His father also rushed to Los Angeles today to witness in person the team's possible first championship.

After passing through the crowd, Brian knocked on the box door.

In the box, dad Jerry Colangelo was talking to Stern.

Stern is here too, ready to award the Western Conference champion.

When Brian came in, Stern greeted Brian with a smile. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Since Jordan retired for the second time in 98, NBA ratings have plummeted.

In 98, there was still a ratings of 18.7, and nearly million people watched the finals.

In 99, it plummeted to 11.3, with only million people watching.

Last year, the Lakers defended the championship and were full of gimmicks. In addition, Jordan came back, but they only rebounded slightly, with a ratings of 12.1.

Overall, it's still a serious decline.

Just in time to sign a new television broadcast contract, Stern knew only too well the importance of ratings.

After the playoffs started, the ratings for the first two rounds of the playoffs have been low, even falling to single digits.

On the contrary, for the Western Conference Finals, the ratings continued to rise.

For the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the ratings once reached 15.4.

In the last game, it rose again, reaching 16.3.

Today's show will only have higher ratings.

It can be said that this year's Western Conference Finals is all about the finals.

So how could Stern be in a bad mood?

"Jerry, you are still very healthy, and the Suns are getting better and better in your hands. This proves that your strategy is fine and successful." Stern said with a smile.

Brian had just sat down. When he heard this, he immediately cheered up and turned to look at his father.

This should mean that Colangelo Sr. wants to sell the Suns.

Brian knew this very well.

Colangelo Sr. is not like Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen, who is really not short of money. He has been in charge of the Suns for many years, and he really just relies on his love.

Therefore, the old Colangelo wants to sell his shares in the Suns. Money is one aspect, but the more reason is that he really loves the Suns and feels that he has too little money in hand. He wants to bring in new investors. The team is doing better.

Playing a team also requires capital.

If the Knicks are like the Knicks and don't care about paying the luxury tax every year, the Suns' performance may be even better.

Jerry Colangelo pursed his lips and did not answer. His eyes passed through the glass and fell on the players below who were preparing to appear.

"David, I'll seriously consider it."

As he said that, Jerry Colangelo was a little moved.

His whole life has been inseparable from the sun.

As a college teammate of Chamberlain, he entered the NBA in another capacity, worked for the Bulls for two years, and then seized the opportunity to become the first general manager in the history of the Suns.

This work lasted 26 years.

In 26 years, he gave everything he had, even quitting the game himself to become the head coach of the Suns.

Finally, in order to make the sun better, he also bought the sun.

For so many years, I have watched the sun rise and fall, but I have never won a championship. Not to mention frustrated, I still feel regretful.

This is also the reason why he handed the team to Brian, faded out of management, and even wanted to sell it.

But if we can really win the championship this year, maybe we can really change something.

A few people were chatting, and the game started below.

I thought it was an evenly matched battle, but who would have thought that the game would become one-sided not long after.

The originally bustling Staples Center became much quieter.

In the box, Brian couldn't help but stand up, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face, his expression seemed to say, is this still the Suns team he is familiar with?

Brian is very busy these days.

The draft is approaching, and he needs to settle Yao Ming's affairs as soon as possible. If he can't handle it, he also needs to determine an alternative plan.

Then it’s time to figure out plans for next season.

Veterans like Mario Elie and Dan Marley will definitely retire.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that many players will need to be supplemented next season. He will also have to keep an eye on the trends of free agents and plan trade reinforcement plans.

But this series is so important, so Brian must be paying attention to it, but not that much. He watches every game.

In his impression, the Suns and Lakers are clearly tied 50-50, or 40-60. The Suns often need someone to break out in order to win the game.

But in front of him, the Suns suppressed the Lakers in all directions.

Especially watching the game, Brian had the feeling that the Suns were playing very aggressively.

It was only the first quarter, and as soon as the Lakers dribbled the ball past half court, Kidd was already on the defensive, delaying the game.

Everyone was running with all their strength and defending desperately.

Under the basket, even when defending O'Neal alone, Olajuwon gritted his teeth and tried his best not to give in.

There was a fight for every ball. At more than six minutes, the Lakers made a mistake, Marion made a flying dive, and Kobe was rolling on the ground.

How could Brian not be moved by this kind of momentum.

There was a bang.

Under the basket, O'Neal was already charging forward, unstoppable, but Olajuwon rushed forward without even thinking.

Through the glass, Brian seemed to hear Olajuwon's scream as he was knocked away.

I'm afraid there are not many people in the entire league who dare to stand in front of O'Neal who is charging.

The whistle blows, offensive foul.

Olajuwon lay on the ground for five seconds before slowly getting up. There was no expression on his face, as if he was not the one who was knocked away.

Brian shivered inexplicably. At this moment, he suddenly had a strong feeling that the Suns were going to win!
