The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 255 Sunrise in the East, only I am undefeated

Now that the sixteen playoff seeds have been lined up, the first-round opponents are quickly determined:
west--

Suns vs Mavericks
Spurs VS Nuggets
Thunder VS Clippers
Lakers VS Grizzlies
east--

Bulls VS 76ers

Heat VS Knicks

Pacers vs Magic
Celtics vs Eagles
Originally, the coaching staff has been studying the Jazz for a while, but who knew that the opponent became the Mavericks at the last moment?

It was a surprise and a pleasure.

He was swept out by this group of musketeers last season, and he hasn't had enough revenge yet!

Sweeping the regular season, how can it be fun to sweep the playoffs?

This is four games in a row!
The Suns didn't have the will to play in Game [-]. Regardless of whether he was the defending champion or not, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't win all of this kind of down-and-out team that accidentally made it into the playoffs...

Facing the season-undefeated Cosmos team, Rick Carlisle is a big player.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. If he can keep the winning lineup, he still has some confidence to deal with the sun. Now that the inside line is so scumbag, it will be a good idea to lose so badly!

The task given by Erwa looks very beautiful:

Just break through the first round!
Can you say hello?
After thinking about it carefully, doesn't breaking through the first round mean "black eight", if you can black out the number one in the league, wouldn't that be awesome to win the championship?
The second baby is the second baby, there is no dream that he dare not dream.

Rick Carlisle was not so optimistic. He estimated that the first quarter would be overwhelmed. Facing Yao Ming and Tu Man, the two invincible giants, the Mavericks couldn’t get in. Facing Battier and Iguodala’s Iron lock Hengjiang, Mavericks still can't attack!
After thinking about it, I simply put Carter and Terry, the two most powerful offensive points, on the bench, let them stagger the strongest lineup, and how many points they can grab, maybe it will have a miraculous effect?
So, the Mavericks' starting lineup becomes:
Point guard: Jason Kidd

Shooting guard: Delonte West

Small Forward: Shawn Marion

Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki
Center: Brandon Haywood

The Suns also made adjustments. Uncle Hill, who had lubricated the whole season, played the starter, and Iguodala was stuffed into the bench to prevent the Mavericks from being a substitute.

The starting lineup is:
Point Guard: Steve Nash
Shooting Guard: Grant Hill
Small Forward: Sean Battier

Power Forward: Tu Brutal
Center: Yao Ming

Same as last season, Tuman received the task of——

Freeze German tanks!

He is now changing shots with shotguns, touching the rebound on the top of the rebound, enough to block Nowitzki's Golden Rooster independence.

Freezing is not just for fun...

For this game, the league arranged a live broadcast across the United States.

In fact, all the playoffs of the Suns were arranged for TNT's national live broadcast. The fixed commentators were O'Neill, Barkley and Kenny Smith. David Stern could not wait for them to play seven rounds and play 28 games!
Of course, this is not possible.

The Jewish old man can also see that at least before the Western Conference Finals, the possibility of the Suns losing is very low.

Barring massive injuries...

That's even more impossible!

The Suns have Dr. Carter, and they are the team with the most rest this season. Yao Ming and Nash only played 33 games, which is hopelessly calm.

How can there be injuries?

CCTV-6 also sent Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhengping's gold medal commentary team to Phoenix to follow up the Suns' playoffs live.

The game hasn't started yet, and Shuangping is reviewing the regular season.

Introduce the players of both sides one by one, and then start to praise Tu Man, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian...

The viewers in front of the TV couldn't bear it anymore and silently pressed the mute button, while the viewers in front of the monitors had a lot of freedom, they changed their websites one after another and chose TNT's webcast.

Here, Barkley and O'Neill are about to quarrel, and it's really interesting!
Barkley is a thief. While O'Neal was drinking water, he seized the Suns as the home team first, and said triumphantly:

"Shaq, let's make a bet, how about watching the Suns solve the battle a few times?"

O'Neill slowly put down the sucked oral liquid, and said with a smile:
"Don't bet, I'll choose the sun too."

Barkley said dissatisfied:
"Don't rob, I played here for four years, I must belong to Phoenix!"

According to the usual practice, the two main players have to support different teams, so if there is a conflict in the explanation, they will fight with each other, and the audience is willing to listen...

But O'Neal doesn't play cards according to common sense, so he is unwilling to support the Mavericks!
The defending champion almost didn't make it to the playoffs, so it's not up to Aristotle to let him brag and talk nonsense with his eyes open!

"Coincidentally, who hasn't played in the sun yet?"

Buckley said angrily:

"I'm sorry to mention that you only played 103 games, and I played 280 games!"

The two stared at each other, but no one would let them go.

Kenny Smith, who was in charge of supporting the show, had no choice but to talk to Mud:
"Forget it, people on Earth know that the sun will win, so don't fight between the two of you, why don't we bury the calf together, it's also very interesting..."

O'Neill said gratefully:

"Kenny, I knew it, you're a good guy!"

The camera cuts to the outside of the arena. The huge glass curtain wall of the US Airways Center arena has been covered with huge posters. The thirteen Suns players lined up side by side, regardless of priority...

This is the human touch of the sun.

If you come to Los Angeles, I'm afraid there will only be Kobe, and at most you can add your wife. If you are in Miami, you can only show the Big Three, but the Suns don't—

Let's win together, let's shine together!

Above the heads of 13 people, a line of big characters shines brightly:
"The place where miracles are born—Phoenix Invincible Great Wall, our sun!"

Cut back, and the home court is brightly lit, a dazzling orange.

The Sun's home jersey is white with purple borders, and the away game is with purple and white borders. The orange jersey is a spare, but after the Arizona fans voted before, the classic orange retro jersey occupies the top spot with an absolute advantage!
Purple, that's the Lakers!
White, worn by at least 20 teams at home.

Why not wear orange?

Although the Knicks are pure orange, but they play like shit, fans choose to forget this team, the sun should be orange!
Look at the sunshine, how orange it is!

At the end of the regular season, Tu Man updated his twitter with only one sentence——

Sunrise in the east, only I am undefeated!
Now these words are pasted on the gate of the US Airways Center Arena without translation into English, and they are directly in Chinese, because the fans in Arizona can recognize them, and they can already pronounce them with various accents...

So the US Airways Center Arena turned into an ocean of orange, with orange streamers and orange seats. The fans uniformly wore orange jerseys and held a luminous orange team logo in their hands. Even the atmosphere lights were replaced with orange... …

This is a big orange!

The front office has decided, at least through the first round, to stay in orange.

Anyway, the calf is blue and white, and there is no conflict.

At this time, the fans slowly raised a huge banner, which almost covered half of the auditorium.

The background color is bright red, and the words are painted black:

There are still [-] games left before the undefeated championship!
