Chapter 119 Undercurrent
The Suns, who had just lost the game with a big score against the Warriors, had to rush to Saramento early the next morning to challenge the Kings.
Facing the big-bodied team, the Kings, who were visiting from afar, the Suns were fully fired, and finally lost the game by 98:100 by two points.
The Suns have not surpassed [-] in two consecutive games, which is extremely rare. After they won the [-]-game winning streak in team history, they also won the first two-game losing streak of the season. In this game, Gao Tian and Nash Teamed up again to score a triple-double of [-], [-] rebounds and [-] assists with [-] of [-] shots.
Kevin Martin and Mike Bibby of the Kings teamed up to score 66 points, leading the Kings to two consecutive victories. Smile, very excited to shake hands with the Suns players!
Good man!
Sure enough, our western team is a family!
Before defeating the Jazz in the last game, the Kings had already won a season-high six-game losing streak. From top to bottom, everyone in the Kings team was dissatisfied with this team. When the morale of the army was shaken, the strong teams in the West, the Jazz and the Suns, both lost in front of the king.
The last game relied on free throws to narrowly beat the Jazz by one point. This game narrowly beat the Suns by two points. This has to make the Saramento people who were in despair feel excited, especially when they defended Gao Tian's last lore goal. !
You must know that since Gao Tian came to the league for more than a month, whether it is the Spurs or the Celtics, not to mention last season's championship Heat, they have all fallen in front of Gao Tian. The lore made the entire league fear Gao Tian, but he missed the last lore when facing the king!
They are very proud. From then on, they can straighten their backs when they meet Spurs fans. Once they mock the King for his repeated defeats against the Spurs, they can completely ask: "We have prevented Gao Tian's absolute kill!"
"Our Spurs are in the playoffs!"
"We prevented Gao Tian's lore!"
"Our Spurs have three championships!"
"We prevented Gao Tian's lore!"
……
Gao Tian looked at his hands helplessly. With the last ball just now, he had completely thrown off Bibby who was defending him and got a very good open space. He had already shot before Martin's defense arrived, but the ball was very difficult. It's a pity that after swishing on the basket a few times, it came out again.
Seeing the expectant eyes of his teammates and coaches turned into disappointment in an instant, Gao Tian was also speechless. His condition was really bad, and his spirit was too exhausted. The sequelae of playing the Heat have still not recovered.
Of course he is also eager to lead the team to victory, but his reaction is obviously half a second or even a second slower than usual. He really has no choice. However, when you make your own move, you don't have the feeling that you must enter.
Moreover, he seems to be resisting the ball all the time in his heart. He doesn't feel at ease when he gets the ball like he usually does. This is the first time he has encountered this kind of situation. How could he think that he would be too lazy to catch the ball one day? !
If it weren't for the fact that he was a little tired of the ball in his hand, he wouldn't have hit such a statistic at all. Even if he didn't feel good, he could still rely on his body to score inside, but his first reaction when he got the ball was to shoot or say pass the ball!
Ricky Davis also had a confused face, with surprise on his face, and he was the most caring boss. When he saw me watching him, he knew that he had too little possession of the ball, so he kept passing the ball to himself, which was great. !
D'Antoni had a very headache. He didn't know what to do. He was very clear about the current situation of the Suns. The starting players were all in poor condition, with poor spirits, extremely low shooting percentage, and extremely poor offensive desire.
He knew that it would take some time to recover, but now he was very anxious. He was already anxious because of the state of the players, and he felt even more headache when he watched the media reports outside.
"The rookie wall appeared? Gao Tian started to go downhill!"
"This is his true level? The glory is over!"
"The Suns' winning streak is over, and the two-game losing streak let them know where their true level is!"
When the sun was shining, all the media were praising the sun, especially after Gao Tian killed the Heat, the New York Times gave Gao Tian a headline and a picture on the cover of the newspaper published the next day.
They put Gao Tian's goal and Pat Riley's turn on it, and said: "Champion? Champion!"
They were the ones who boasted the most, but after the Suns lost to the Warriors by a big score, they were also the ones who were the most black. They directly used a large page to analyze the reasons for the Suns' loss, and then concluded at the end: "Good luck is always just temporary!"
This made D'Antoni's teeth itch with hatred. He dared to swear that this article must have been written by the New York Times reporter who had been humiliated by Gao Tian!
Originally, everyone in the Sun knew that as long as they recovered slowly, they could regain their original position, but they couldn't stand all the media talking about it!
The morale that had been rising all the way from the beginning fell directly to the bottom a few days ago, and then the morale that was about to gradually recover after hearing the world is full of malicious words just stopped moving, and even showed a downward trend!
Seeing that the players were silent, D'Antoni didn't know how to comfort him. He hates the media now. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
The current players are not as harmonious as before. The continuous victories in the past have covered up some problems, but once they lose, the hearts of the players will continue to fluctuate, especially when the team's main force is sluggish.
Among the substitute players, the only one who can make him feel at ease is Ricky Davis. Although Barbosa is indeed the strongest substitute player in the Suns, and even this season's performance is extremely impressive, so far he can average 17+6 points per game. With +5 data, this game is also a repeated and brilliant performance. According to this performance, it is completely no problem to compete for the sixth man of the year this season.
But it was because of this that he was worried!
The substitute is strong, the main force is weak, can the hearts of the people be unmoved?
Who would be willing to be a substitute when given the chance to be the main force!
What the championship teams are most afraid of is the disunity in the locker room. Once the players care about fighting in the locker room, there can still be games there.
He sighed softly. The Suns at any time in the past two years have not been as difficult as they are now. Whether it is the state of the players, the relationship within the team, the division of the ball, and the division of status, everything makes his hair gray. up.
With all the emotions, Phoenix returned to Phoenix from Sacramento to clean up and prepare for the next game against the Raptors.
