Chapter 529: It's Raining in Seattle

After the Lakers were eliminated, the Supersonics found themselves in a delicate situation.

Their biggest rival this year had already been knocked out, and defending their title seemed the natural course.

But such complacency was dangerous—if they underestimated their Eastern opponents, they could indeed face an upset.

Before that, however, they still had to wait for the Eastern Conference to resolve itself.

The Celtics and Magic dragged the Eastern finals to a Game 7, giving the Supersonics a few extra days of rest.

Roy spent a lot of time shooting to regain his lost touch.

As he added another 500 shots to his daily practice, Fei said to him, "Weren't you supposed to be our Scottie Pippen? Pippen wouldn't waste time on shooting practice."

"Actually, I guarded LeBron just like Scottie did Magic Johnson in the '91 Finals—I couldn't have done more, and now I need to be myself again."

Roy kept talking, showing no signs of stopping.

All Fei could do was to wish him luck.
