"See, Chen? I told you guys would win." After the game ended, Alina offered her congratulations.
Chen Yu waved his hand dismissively. "We only pulled one back. We still can't afford to lose."
It wouldn't be too late to celebrate once they actually won the series and eliminated the Pioneers.
"I'm sure you'll be fine. Nowitzki is seriously strong," Alina complimented.
Only in the final moments did a star's true caliber shine through. Nowitzki was genuinely tough. Milicic had stuck to him closely, barely giving up an inch of space, but Nowitzki still managed to score. His strength last year paled in comparison to now. This remark was also an indirect praise for the efforts of Chen Yu's team over the past season.
Chen Yu smiled, though he still couldn't completely relax. The Phoenix Suns had made adjustments, and judging by the results, they were heading in the right direction. Now, it all depended on how Rivers would respond.
