Chapter 158 All the time will give you the answer ([-] words, please subscribe~ask for tickets~)

No one knows what happened that day, but after entering February, the expressions of almost everyone in the Suns team are no longer as dignified as before. There is a sense of relief on everyone's face, and the entire arena There is a relaxed atmosphere.

Only the substitute who was not paying attention could not help feeling resentful when he saw the expression on his elder brother's face that never changed. He felt that everything should not be like this!

But no one will pay attention to his idea of ​​an insignificant substitute. After the [-]-point home victory over the Spurs in the first game in February, all Phoenix fans ignored their own doubts. They only saw the familiar team come back That's it, the invincible bombardment brigade is online again!

Although this game gave all fans who love the Phoenix Suns a boost, gave them confidence again, and shocked other teams in the league, but in the eyes of caring people, after all, they are in subtle ways. found something extraordinary.

In the game against the Spurs, the Suns did not seem to have changed much, but the most impressive thing in the whole game was Stoudemire's performance. The original Stoudemire, who was covered by Gao Tian, ​​​​played extremely well in this game. Brilliant performance, played 38 minutes, made 22 of 15 shots, and scored perfect data of [-] and [-] rebounds.

Everyone is excitedly applauding and shouting for this genius who has regained his brilliance. Stoudemire, who has been playing tepidly since the start of the game, showed his original performance against his old enemy Spurs. With an average strength of 37 points, there is no doubt that Stoudemire is stronger in the Suns!

Perhaps, the championship is not far away?

However, Gao Tian played 30 minutes and scored 18 points and 8 rebounds. Almost no one noticed, but in the eyes of outsiders, Gao Tian's lowest data of the season is very eye-catching. They will not get that big for Stoudemire. They were surprised by the double-double data, but they were shocked, even excited, by the significance of Gao Tian's seemingly ordinary data.

After carefully watching the video of this game, they found that the focus of the Suns' offense suddenly changed from the outside to the inside. All the actions on the outside were to pave the way for Stoudemire on the inside and create opportunities for him, even Gao Tian's running position In the end, it was not up to him to complete the attack, which is too surprising. Instead of choosing a three-pointer with a high probability of hitting, he chose a two-pointer against Duncan's defense?
This is very interesting.

All the Phoenix fans are discussing excitedly. Their eyes are full of longing for the future. The Suns look so good. The Spurs are not afraid. Although the Mavericks are strong, they are not enough to suppress the Suns. The teams in the East are even better. Needless to say, looking at the league, which team is stronger than the Suns?
Not only are they excited, but the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, who lost the game, is also very excited. He is not upset at all, but is smiling and watching the celebration for Stoudemire, who won the best player of the game. Most of the Suns players raised their heads and looked at the stupid big man beside them. Popovich said with a hint of sarcasm: "Tim, it seems that you, a junior, will not have a very easy life in the future!"

After hearing this, Duncan didn't say anything, just looked at the back of a person walking towards the locker room, widened his big eyes and said slowly: "Isn't this very interesting? They are walking on a path we hope They're on their way, and it looks like everybody's feeling really good."

"Oh, yes. But won't you worry about him?"

Listening to Popovich's ridicule, Duncan said without emotion: "He always wants to walk on this road, and he also has to make his own choice."

Seeing the back of Duncan leaving, Popovich touched his chin, and then turned around to look at the loneliness hidden under the bustle. ah!

At the post-match press conference, Gao Tian looked at the crowd of excited reporters below, and he was a little uncomfortable seeing those flashing lights. So many scorching eyes were fixed on him, which made him Very helpless.

Why don't you pay attention to D'Antoni who is talking next to me and keep looking at me?
Not to mention him, even D'Antoni, who had been talking for a long time, was a little embarrassed. Finally, he announced the end of his speech with a light cough and began to enter the questioning session.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "teng", a reporter stood up directly with his hands raised, picked up the microphone and asked: "Steve, we all know that the Suns' four-game losing streak a while ago caused the Suns to lose the number one in the league and the West. The first position was overtaken by the second Mavericks, I would like to ask what happened to the Suns at that time? Why did they lose a big score to a team like the Knicks?"

Hearing this question, Cole looked solemn, lowered his head slightly and approached the microphone and said: "The team is in a very poor state. The players missed some three-pointers that shouldn't be missed. That devil's schedule is a huge challenge for the players. challenge……"

All the reporters frowned upon hearing Cole's rather official words. This was not the answer they wanted, so another reporter quickly stood up and asked in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Mr. Steve, you said we We all know, what we all want to know is why the team's inside line was useless at that time, and they lost the game when Nash and Gao Tian on the outside line could jointly score more than 60 points per game?"

"It was mainly because the inside players of the team at that time did not have a good understanding of the team's defensive tactics. This made the team's inside and outside lines separate from each other, and lost games that should not be lost."

Cole answered the question neither humble nor overbearing.

After finishing speaking, Cole glanced at D'Antoni, who was relieved. This is the rhetoric they had negotiated a long time ago. It seemed impeccable. No one could blame the team's abnormality on the use of new tactics.

But the female reporter was not forgiving. Seeing that Cole had been doing Tai Chi with her, she went straight to the point, stared at Gao Tian with piercing eyes, and asked with a little excitement: "I heard it's because Stoudemire is dissatisfied with Gao Tian." The position in the team caused the team's record to plummet, and I heard that there was a negotiation within the Suns recently, can you tell us the specific situation?"

Hearing this sharp question, all the reporters were shocked. They knew that the most important moment of today's press conference had come, and everyone cheered up and wanted to hear the answer from Sun's internal staff on this incident.

"It's just a rumor, Miss Reporter,"

Cole spread his hands helplessly, looked at all the reporters and said softly: "I can say that this is just a rumor. Amare has a very good relationship with Gao, and they will not have such a conflict. We implore everyone to treat it rationally." rumor."

Everyone looked at Gao Tian, ​​whose expression remained unchanged, and Xiao Si, whose expression was very excited. With their intuition, they knew that this matter was definitely not what Cole said, but they really couldn't produce any evidence. The Suns did a great job of keeping the secrets secret. They were informed by a certain Suns player at the beginning. Now it seems that it is difficult for them to ask for any valuable information.

But there are still some reporters who are unwilling to give up. The truth is in front of them, but they can't reach it. This makes all the reporters feel very uncomfortable. One reporter stood up and asked directly: "Amale, How is your relationship with Gao? It is said that you have expressed dissatisfaction with Gao in the team many times, and in today's game you played singles with the ball far more than Gao. This is very abnormal. How do you view this matter? ?”

"I don't think it's as abnormal as you think. It's normal. It's a tactical need! As for my relationship with Gao, our relationship is very good. Since Gao came to the sun, I have taken good care of him. I I think you need to look at the facts instead of believing rumors about the so-called facts!"

Stoudemire, who was full of confidence after finishing the expected script, glanced proudly at Gao Tian, ​​who was beside him with a calm face. Since Gao Tian came to the team, this was the first time he was so happy. Above, everyone is praising him and ignoring his own performance, which shouldn't be!

As a genius in everyone's eyes, Stoudemire has long been used to being admired and admired by others, but now a rookie in the team is even more talented than him, and everyone's eyes have shifted from him to Gao He refused to accept Gao Tian's body, and he admitted that he was jealous of everyone's love for Gao Tian.

But this is his team!

The team cannot function without him!
He wanted to get everything he had before, no matter how expensive it was, he wanted to get it. His self-esteem didn't allow someone better than himself to be by his side, obviously everyone loved him back then.

That's why he did it on the advice of his agent, even if it cost the team a loss, because a victory without him playing an important role would make him feel that the victory was useless, and he would Prove that you are no worse than Gao Tian!

And now this victory is completely according to his ideas. He scored a high score, the sun won the victory, and Gao Tian only needs to be his supporting role, and he doesn't hold too much More possession of the ball, less offense and more defense, just like Marion back then!
What he needs is a Marion, not Gao Tian who needs the ball like him or even more than him!

"Gao, is this true?"

The reporter was still unwilling to give up. Suffering from the evidence, he had to put his last hope on Gao Tian. According to them, Gao Tian was the victim of this negotiation, and this player can often bring them Some different surprises, they knew that if Gao Tian couldn't ask any more questions, then this incident might really end in a farce.

Gao Tian looked at all the people who were looking forward to him, or looking forward to the heat caused by the truth behind this matter, as well as Cole and D'Antoni who looked nervous next to him, and what was more interesting was the smug look Xiao Si, when he saw this, he suddenly felt that there was nothing like this in the world.

"This question is very interesting, and maybe time will give you the answer this summer."

After speaking, he stopped looking at the bewildered crowd and left with a smile alone.
