Basketball: I'm really a center

Bogut's brainless accusation lasted for several hours, and finally ended with Bogut deleting his tweet after being unable to bear the pressure of the abuse.

This had little impact on Su Bai, but for Bogut, it made him panic and uneasy for a long time......

The next evening at 7pm, in the Suns locker room before the matchup between the Suns and the Thunder,

Gentry walked over with a watch in his hand, humming a little tune, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

That's true.

Although the team's 23-game winning streak came to an end, for him, 23 consecutive wins were enough, and he was completely satisfied. The most important point was that losing was a small matter.

The big thing was that Su Bai, this treasure, always belonged to him.

As long as Su Bai was fine, let alone losing one game, what would it matter if he lost a few more games? This year......He fully believes that the Suns he coaches will eventually amaze the league.

"Ahem~"

He came to the players who were changing clothes and preparing for the game and said casually:"Uh...Anyway, we lost, we also made history, everyone did a good job.

So, now we don't have to be nervous and think about winning streak. Our goal is the playoffs, not the winning streak in the regular season, do you understand?!"

""Oh!"

The players responded, each with confidence on their faces.

Obviously, the last defeat did not affect the players.

"Yeah."

Gentry nodded slightly, then smiled and said,"Before the last game, we were all playing with great tension, fighting for consecutive wins.

Now, the winning streak is broken, so let's take a break.

Otherwise, if someone is really injured and can't play for the season, or even the season is over, it will be a big loss for our team.

Tonight,

Su Bai will take a rest, and the other players will play normally. Don't have any psychological burden. It doesn't matter even if you lose. Do you understand?!"

"Oh!"

The players responded again

""I'm taking a break?!"

Su Bai smiled slightly, it didn't seem like a bad thing.

The coach was right. Recently, he had been working hard to win, to break the Rockets' 22-game winning streak. He was thinking too much about winning, and pursuing winning. This was not good.

Now, it would be nice to slow down a bit.

Gentry said the playoffs were the goal, but for Su Bai, the finals, or even winning the championship were the goals, so everything was planned for the long term.

Everything.......Start by staying healthy!......

Gentry rested Subeth on the grounds that he had a sore forearm.

Tonight.

The Suns are without Subeth.

At the beginning of the season, the Suns without Subeth had 2 wins and 8 losses, close to the bottom of the Western Conference. However, tonight, without Subeth, the Suns don't seem to be playing badly.

George started.

Curry alone took charge of the offense. With George's screen and Nash's feeding, he scored as many as 24 points in the first half tonight. The Thunder realized something was wrong.

In the second half.

Only by strengthening the defense against him were they able to curb his offense a little.

As for George, although he started tonight, his task is still defense. From Westbrook to Durant, he was almost the only one defending.

Although he is a rookie.

But for the current lineup of the Suns, besides Subeth, he is the second strongest defensive point.

However, after all, he is facing players with explosive talents like Durant and Westbrook. Although he defended, the effect does not seem to be very ideal.

But it is already good.

After three quarters.

The Thunder led by 5 points

"Wow~ Without Su Bai, the Suns only fell behind by 5 points against the Thunder's"Big Three". This team is getting stronger."

In the commentary booth, Van Gundy praised.

Mike Breen adjusted his sleeves and nodded,"Yes, after Curry came to the Suns, his potential has been infinitely magnified, and his future ceiling is also very high.

In addition.

George, the rookie, is a little slow to release his talent from defense, but I believe that if he is given some time to grow, he will become a star!"

"Yes, the Suns have a lot of potential players."

While the two commentators were talking, the last quarter of the game started. Harden led the substitute rotation. Harden, who has grown for a year, is still a little bit inferior to Curry. However

, his ability to step back and shoot and break through to draw fouls is gradually showing.

4 minutes and 33 seconds of rotation.

Harden led the team to expand the score difference to 8 points. Gentry called a timeout, and the starters of both teams came back. The two were in a stalemate. With 22.4 seconds left, Harden and the team were in a stalemate.

""Swish!"

Curry hit a long 3-pointer and scored 36 points.

However, the score difference was still 5 points, and it would take at least 2 attacks to catch up. The ball belonged to the Thunder with 22.4 seconds left. The Suns finally failed to complete the reversal and lost the game.

"The Suns lost two games in a row?!"

Van Gundy blinked, and Mike Breen smiled and said,"Yes, the Suns lost two games in a row, but without Su Bai on the court.

Facing the powerful Thunder, they only lost by 5 points, which I think is acceptable."

"That's true."

Van Gundy also nodded with a smile and said,"The rotation of Su Bai and Gentry should be to let the players have a good rest and recuperate before returning to the game!"

"Yes"......

The next day.

Although the Suns lost two games in a row without Su Bai, some"anti-fans" still took the opportunity to make trouble.

"Tsk tsk...Is it true that the arrogant will be defeated? They just won 23 consecutive games and started to show off, and then lost 2 games in a row? The Suns are still young!"

"Huh? Are you talking about Hammer? Don't you know that Su Bai didn't play and that's why we lost the game?!"

"Look how happy you are. This must be because you have never seen the Suns lose a game, right?"

"Don't say that they lost because Su Bai was not there. Even if Su Bai was there, it wouldn't matter if they lost. Could it be that......Do you really think Su Bai is a god who can win every game?"

"Hahaha!"

The scattered mockery from the"anti-fans" was silenced.

However, this was just a small episode in the morning, and not many people paid attention. At 10 a.m., when the NBA official website announced the results of the second round of All-Star voting, it attracted the attention of fans.

A glance at the vote list showed that the Eastern Conference"Magic Beast" Howard continued to dominate the list with 1.052 million votes, while the Western Conference"Black Mamba" Kobe also maintained the top spot with 1.374 million votes.

"Ah~"

Suddenly a sharp-eyed fan shouted out and quickly commented:"Quick!...Look, the rookie Su Bai, he...With 1.373 million votes, he surpassed Howard and became the Eastern Conference's top vote-getter!
