Chapter 223 Advance to the Western Conference Finals
The others pulled away, Nash played singles with the ball, and Coach D'Antoni's tactics were very clear.

Because in this Suns team, Nash is the strongest and most stable point.

The Lakers also sent Kobe to defend Nash himself, plus Vujacic and Odom's defense.

Contradictions!

It depends on whether Nash's hair is sharper or Kobe's shield is stronger.

Nash pressed the time and started to start at 7 seconds. As soon as he accelerated and broke through, he attracted the attention of the Lakers.

The Lakers didn't notice: On the other side, Marion suddenly set Stoudemire on a pick-and-roll.

Stoudemire got rid of Mihm and went straight into the penalty area.

And Nash deftly passed the ball under Kobe's strict defense.

Stoudemire holds the ball at the basket with almost no obstacles, and a single layup can easily kill the Lakers and resolve the battle.

At this moment, the face of the Lakers fans changed drastically.

The Suns even used Nash as bait, but in fact let Stoudemire hit the final blow.

East and West.

Just like the Lakers used Kobe as a bait before to make Ye Heping a lore.

What a dramatic scene!
D'Antoni crossed his arms and sat confidently on the bench, trying to suppress his complacency, but he couldn't hold it back at all, with a joyful smile on his face.

"A Frank, is he worthy of forming an army against me?"

He never imagined that he would lose in the tactics he had used.

The Suns fans were extremely excited, and the Phoenix fans at the scene stood up from their seats and raised their hands to celebrate the victory in advance.

Stoudemire was also extremely excited, with a look of confidence and satisfaction on his face, and decided to end the battle with the most violent dunk.

His legs were slightly bent, and Stoudemire suddenly exerted strength in his two calves, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knees, and he was unable to jump up.

While shouting badly in his heart, Stoudemire didn't dare to delay and took off again.

However, at this time, Ye Heping had already rushed over, leaped high, and slapped the ball hard.

Snapped!
An undisputed bloody cap.

Beep beep!

The whistle for the end of the game also sounded.

81:80, the Lakers dramatically won the tiebreaker and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

No one thought that the "little bully" didn't jump up at the critical moment and missed the best opportunity.

The Phoenix fans at the scene held their heads in their hands and couldn't believe what they saw.

And that's not the worst.

Stoudemire fell to the ground with a bang, clutching his knees in pain, and moaning endlessly.

Seeing this scene, the Lakers players didn't even have the intention to celebrate. Injuries are the biggest enemy of athletes. Seeing Stoudemire's appearance, everyone felt a bit sad.

Ye Heping also suddenly remembered: In reality, Stoudemire suffered cartilage damage in the playoffs this year, and had surgery during the offseason, which almost cost him the entire next season.

So it's not uncommon for Stoudemire to be injured, it's just a few days earlier than before.

Coach D'Antoni's heart is cold. Losing a round of playoffs is nothing. If he loses the inside pillar of Stoudemire, it will be devastating.

The scene was in chaos.

At the critical moment, Ye Heping cooperated with Nash to stop everyone, protect Stoudemire, and then called the Suns team doctor and the Lakers team doctor Gary Vitti to help.

After a preliminary examination, the team doctor also estimated that it was a knee injury, and the severity required further examination at the hospital.

The staff put Stoudemire on the stretcher, and Ye Heping helped the whole process, and sent Stoudemire to the entrance of the player tunnel.

Before leaving, Ye Heping held Xiao Si's hand: "Brother, come on! You will come back, you will become stronger, and I am waiting to continue fighting with you!"

Xiao Si looked at Ye Heping, speechless for a long time, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes, and finally nodded emphatically.

"Wait for me, I will come back and blow you away!"

"I'm waiting for you!"

Ye Heping also nodded emphatically.

This is a man's agreement!

When Stoudemire was sent out of the court, Ye Heping turned around, only to find that everyone at the scene was looking at him.

Nash came over and patted Ye Heping on the shoulder: "Son, you are great!"

"You are generous!"

Veteran Jim Jackson then patted Ye Heping on the shoulder and applauded.

Many fans at the scene applauded along with Jim.

Everyone knows the conflict between Ye Heping and Stoudemire. In this game, Stoudemire has repeatedly provoked Ye Heping.But when Xiao Si fell, Ye Heping didn't take pleasure in his misfortune, but was the first to stand up to protect him, helping and comforting Xiao Si throughout the whole process.

These actions also touched the Suns players and Phoenix fans.

Ye Heping said softly, "It's nothing!"

To be honest, Ye Heping doesn't think how great he is, or how great he has done.

He was really worried about Stoudemire. After all, injuries were as fierce as tigers, and how many talented athletes were destroyed by injuries.

Besides, the conflict between him and Stoudemire is a court conflict, and both sides are just for the team's victory.

Although he hated Stoudemire a little, it was only during the game. Ye Heping never wanted Stoudemire to be entangled in injuries.

"May all injuries be borne by image ambassador CXK! Stay away from the players!"

Ye Heping couldn't help thinking of a very popular sentence in 2019.

But in any case, it is definitely a happy event for the Lakers to beat the Suns and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

叶和平本场比赛18分8篮板3助攻2抢断7盖帽，发挥亮眼。

In the seven games, Ye Heping averaged 17 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.1 blocks per game. He continued to perform all-round, second only to Kobe.

The quasi lore and lore block at the last moment are even more important, fully demonstrating Ye Heping's talent on both offense and defense.

After the game, Ye Heping also received numerous praises.

But it's not because of the performance in the game, but what Stoudemire did after his injury.

Many fans turn from road to fan, black to road.

President David Stern also talked about this on his Facebook account: Basketball mobilization is divided into countries, but basketball itself is not. @NBA is a beautiful big family. Like @叶平平!
Of course, there are also many Phoenix fans who are not convinced.

"If Joe, Old Jim, and Stoudemire weren't all injured in singles, the Lakers would have been eliminated a long time ago. They are no match for the Suns at all!"

Naturally, the Lakers fans didn't agree.

"What if? The Suns are so strong, how did they get to the tiebreaker with the Lakers? They can't even beat a rebuilt team, so weak!"

However, there are also neutral fans who speak objectively.

"In terms of strength, the Suns are really better than the Lakers. But it is not objective to say that the Lakers won by luck! The Lakers played really well, and the whole team is very strong, not to mention Kobe, Odom, and Ye Heping. Vujacic's performance in the last few games is even more eye-catching."

"In addition, three people were injured in one game. Is this really luck? D'Antoni's 6-man rotation, is it strange that he is not injured?"

"To win is to win! To lose is to lose! The Lakers are aboveboard and have not used any shady methods. They deserve blessings and admiration!"

And later, Nash also wrote on his Facebook: The Lakers are a great opponent, they have done the impossible, everyone is excellent, I hope they can go further!
Stoudemire, who was sent to the hospital, did not put down his phone: The Lakers are a very strong opponent. We lost to them this year. We will work harder next year to defeat them!wait me back!

As the two core Suns expressed their views, the controversy quickly disappeared.
