After the Suns' practice, Durant looked particularly lonely on the court. He faced the reporter's camera, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes. In yesterday's game, their team fell behind 0-3, a result that kept Durant awake at night. The reporter asked him if it was because of the competition? He shook his head slightly and said softly: "That's life itself." ”
Life, for Durant, may be a never-ending challenge. As a star for the Suns, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Every failure was like a heavy stone weighing on his heart. However, instead of choosing to escape, he chose to face it. He knows that this is life, this is the path he has chosen.
When the reporter asked again who the leader of the Suns was, Durant was silent for a moment, and then said: "The coach is the leader." His voice was firm and powerful, as if to announce it to the world. However, the reporter didn't seem satisfied, and continued to ask, "Isn't there a leader on the court?" Durant took a deep breath and replied, "We're all talking loudly, but the leader is still the coach." ”
At the same time, Suns head coach Vogel was also interviewed. When asked who the team's leaders were on the court, he smiled and said, "Booker, Beal and KD." His words were full of confusion, as if in his eyes, these three players were the key to the Suns' 3-0 deficit. When pressed by reporters whether it would be better for them to be leaders together or to have one leader, Vogel shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, they all lead the team brilliantly in their own way." ”
On the other side, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue was also in an interview. He talked about Leonard's injury. He said Leonard's form in G4 is doubtful, with only a 50% chance of playing. Such news worries all the fans. In G3, Leonard didn't do well, he only took 7 shots and scored 9 points. And his Chinese agent, "Barbecue Sister", also posted on social media that the Clippers will limit Leonard's playing time in G4. Such a decision is undoubtedly to protect him from further deterioration of his injury.
However, just when everyone was worried about Leonard's injury, there was good news from the Lakers. Their striker Wood is finally back, and Wood has been sidelined since he was injured on February 14. This is undoubtedly a huge blow for the Lakers. Now, however, he has finally returned. Although it is unknown what his form will be, his return has undoubtedly injected new energy into the Lakers.
Wood is averaging 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game this season while shooting 46.6 percent from the field. His comeback is undoubtedly a huge help for the Lakers. His scoring and rebounding ability are what the Lakers need, and his shooting percentage is a testament to his prowess on the court. His return gave Lakers fans hope, of course, just the hope of avoiding a sweep, after all, they have fallen behind the Denver Nuggets 0-3.
In this season full of uncertainties, every team is fighting for victory. The Suns are plagued by infighting and injuries, and trust has gradually lost between the Big Three and the coaches. The Clippers lost Leonard's help and the team also trailed the Mavericks 1-2. The Lakers' Wood is back, but it will still be difficult to beat the Nuggets. This is the charm of basketball, no matter how difficult it is, as long as we persevere, we will definitely see the dawn of victory.
