Chapter 271 Arrogance! You've lowered the value of the "Black 8 Miracle"!
"Brothers, as long as we stay confident, even if we lose all three games, we'll definitely be able to turn things around when I get back!"
The next day.
Su Yan comforted his teammates in the locker room.
He has enough confidence, but... if his teammates' confidence collapses too much, that's not a good thing either.
"necessary."
Curry was the first to raise his fist in agreement. As one of the "twin stars" and the team's second-in-command, he had to set an example as well.
“I’ve always believed in Su Yan and have been waiting for the ‘Flame God’ to return,” David Lee roared.
Tyson Chandler roared, "I've never lost my confidence. This is just the first game to get used to the intensity of the playoffs, a warm-up."
Three matches.
There are two more games left, and I'm very confident I'll win one of them.
"Me too."
Wilson Chandler was also very motivated.
"We absolutely cannot fall in the first round," McGrady encouraged his teammates.
Allen Iverson hummed confidently, "I'm here for the championship."
I never imagined I'd be eliminated in the first round.
A slight smile appeared on Su Yan's lips.
Seeing that everyone is in such good spirits and energy, I feel relieved.
Outside the locker room, Coach D'Antoni, who had originally come to encourage the players and keep them confident, was there.
He smiled contentedly and turned to leave.
One day later.
The G2 is coming.
Can the Knicks win?
No.
We still lost, but... the point difference is only 6 points, which is a big improvement over the last game.
The players are playing with more composure and are rapidly adapting to the intensity of the playoffs.
"It's good, but it feels amazing!"
"I have a feeling that we can win the next game. A score of 1:2 is acceptable."
"What a premonition! We're sure to win the next match!"
The entire Knicks team is brimming with confidence.
Three days later.
G3 is coming.
Can the Knicks pull one back and bring the series to a comfortable 1-2?
No.
No.
The Knicks lost again, and by 15 points again, another crushing defeat.
Trailing 0-3 in the match.
Regardless of the reason why the Knicks are down 0-3.
In NBA playoff history, no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit to win a game.
completely annihilated.
The Knicks have already stepped into the abyss.
"How could this happen?!"
Curry was completely baffled and felt extremely guilty, saying, "We only lost by 6 points in the last game, and we've become more and more accustomed to the intensity of the game and the opponent's offense."
Why did they lose by so many points in Game 3 again?!
Why can't we win a game? Can't we share even a little bit of the pressure with Yan?!
"Hey……"
David Lee also sighed, "Being thrashed by the eighth-ranked team in the East makes me feel so useless."
"so annoying!"
Tyson also became agitated, "This is not the result I wanted. I should have won a match, why?!"
The locker room after the game.
The Knicks' morale is crumbling.
Coach D'Antoni quickly came over to comfort them: "Guys, calm down and calm yourselves down."
You played very well.
The reason we lost was because we were playing away, which put us at a disadvantage. If we had played at home, we would definitely have won tonight.
"Yes."
Assistant coach Morrison Bolton nodded in agreement, and continued, "Although we lost the game, everyone was in good form and played with more composure."
You are steadily adapting to the intensity of the playoffs.
You will only get better and better in each game.
As long as we maintain our confidence, Su Yan's return in the next match will be the beginning of our comeback.
Winning four consecutive games is indeed difficult, but not impossible.
We're the top team in the East, no, the top team in the league! I believe you have the ability.
The two coaches relentlessly poured out motivational messages, determined to keep the young players' mentality stable.
Everyone calmed down.
Their emotions are still not stable enough, but fortunately they are not on the verge of collapse. They will need another 1-2 days to adjust.
The G4 match should be able to resume.
This is theory.
But what's the reality?!
After the Knicks lost Game 3 and found themselves in a deadlock as traditionally expected in the playoffs, fans were furious.
"???"
"What's going on? What are you doing?! You said the worst-case scenario was three games in a row, and you actually lost them all?!"
You guys are the league's number one team, a super team with two 20+ winning streaks in a single season.
They lost all three games against a weak team that was ranked eighth in the East, and couldn't win a single one, just because Su Yan was missing?!
Although the Lakers next door also lost their first two games, they were missing four key players, and their opponents were the formidable "Thunder Trio".
This loss is understandable.
What the hell is the Knicks?! They're such a disappointment!
"Those Knicks guys are useless. They only drag Su Yan down and are ruining him!"
I'm truly impressed!
"Can you please get lost?!"
"Why? Why can you play so badly? Why can't you even win a single game?!"
Why should Su Yan, who has almost achieved a "Grand Slam," face such immense pressure in his first playoff appearance?
"I feel so awful!"
"That's it. The Knicks are gone this year. Even if 'Flame God' returns, it's impossible for them to win four straight games!"
"Why should we win? The Knicks are such trash, they don't deserve to win at all. I've already given them advice this year."
Trade during the offseason and get rid of all these useless guys.
Seriously, please, don't hold back Su Yan, who's already at his peak. Just give him two decent teammates.
We'll definitely win the championship next year!
"A bunch of stress monsters, stop messing with Su Yan!"
"Apologize! All the other Knicks players, apologize to Su Yan! You ruined his prime season!"
"..."
online.
The fans were hurling insults, some very explicit and harsh!
This sudden pressure put immense pressure on the Knicks players, causing their mental state to collapse as they were trying to adjust.
Blame yourself.
Everyone felt extremely guilty.
Everyone agrees that the fans are right to criticize, given that the league's top team is missing Su Yan.
Three matches.
They should have won at least one game, but... they couldn't win a single one.
Forcing Su Yan into his first playoff run, they presented him with a hellish level of difficulty in winning.
Everyone felt really guilty and remorseful.
The kind that can't be coaxed.
In fact... Su Yan wasn't worried about being down 0-3 at all. As long as he could come back, he was sure he could turn the tide.
He is extremely confident.
However, under the dual influence of external factors and internal friction, the players' confidence nearly collapsed.
The essential.
Based on this.
The Bucks are still fanning the flames.
When interviewed by reporters, the team's starting center, Bogdanovic, patted his chest and confidently said, "Is this the best team in the league?"
It's so weak that it makes you lose all motivation.
The "Black Eight Miracle," which was once highly revered and admired, now seems less amazing.
How should I put it?!
The Knicks are such a weak bunch; they've dragged down the value of the "Black Eight Miracle"!!!
The last straw that broke the camel's back.
Led by Curry, the Knicks players' mentality completely collapsed!
After learning the news, Su Yan narrowed his eyes. "Bodog, you've already put on an act? I really can't stand seeing you showing off!"
It's time to take the initiative!!!
