Silent Love

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. 
Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players.
This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost…

Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

If one said that in the first game of the NBA Finals, The Celtics had behaved like rookies, showing all the trademarks of inexperience and awkwardness, then Paul Pierce's clumsy imitation of Willis Reed's "comeback" moment was like an educational film about human connections and growing the inexperienced.


They started to get used to the Finals.


And so came the second game of the series.


The Celtics played like they did in the regular season.


They had a strong inside game, top-notch wings and posts, and a roster depth that surpassed the Supersonics gave the error-prone and slow-reacting Doc Rivers the highest margin for error.


Throughout the game, The Celtics shot an impressive 54% from the field, with a rebound comparison of 41 to 30, and free throw attempts at 33 to 21.


The Supersonics trailed in all key indicators.


Yu Fei scored 36 points but could not change the outcome of consecutive losses on the road.
