However, Frye's pleas for mercy were in vain, as his teammates were determined to drench him. Kevin Durant also carried a bucket of champagne and poured it over Frye.
Then came Thompson... Carter... McGrady... Gortat... Whiteside...
By the end, Frye gave up resisting and just stood there holding his head, no longer needing Curry and Tucker to hold him.
"Whoosh~~~"
The last bucket of champagne was poured by Curry, a playful celebration of Frye's 39 points in the second half.
"Haha..."
Curry poured the champagne over Frye's head, laughing like a schoolboy.
There was so much liquid that the floor became wet and slippery.
"Splat~!"
Alvin Gentry walked by, slipped, and landed on his butt. ✿
"Aiyo, damn, Coach..."
Several players rushed to help Gentry up.
Gentry rubbed his butt and said, "No wonder the arena cleaning lady keeps asking for a raise."
"Are you okay, Coach?"
Wade Dong also expressed concern, as Gentry was not a young man, and falling on his butt could be a serious matter.
Gentry shook his head and said, "You guys clean up and prepare for the post-game interviews. "
The reporters had been waiting for the Suns players to arrive for the post-game interviews, as this was a slaughter but also an exciting game.
There were too many highlights in this game.
Mayo scratching Dong, Dong's consecutive powerful dunks, including three poster dunks over Adrien, Frye's 39 points in the second half, and the breaking of the NBA record for the largest margin of victory... Each of these stories was captivating enough on its own.
Post-Game Press Conference.
Dong pushed Frye to the front, allowing the reporters to interview him first, and even joked that tonight belonged to Frye.
The reporters were unaware of Frye's request during halftime, so his outstanding performance in the second half was a surprise to them.
The microphones were all pointed at Frye, and one reporter said, "Your performance in the second half is worthy of being recorded in the history books."
"I just found out that I scored 39 points tonight," Frye said, his tears dried and a smile on his face. "When I returned to the locker room earlier, I was also teased by my teammates. I love it here, and I always prepare well before every game. I want to be there to score when the team needs me."
"Every player on the Suns is a scoring machine," the reporter added.
"Who do you think deserves the MVP tonight?" another reporter asked.
"It should be me..."
Frye first joked and then spoke seriously, "I think the MVP tonight still goes to Dong. His five dunks at the beginning of the second quarter were unforgettable, and they lifted the entire team's morale. "
"You will have more performances like tonight in the future," the reporter said.
"Of course!" Frye replied.
The reporters then turned to Dong.
Since Dong was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, the reporters couldn't see his arm and asked, "Dong, is your arm injury okay?"
"It's not a big deal," Dong replied. "But I hope players trim their nails before playing a game."
The reason for the scratch today was that Mayo had long nails. In the NBA, a top basketball league, it was rare for players to have long nails before a game.
"Mayo's defensive action was indeed inappropriate," Dong added.
The reporters agreed with Dong.
...
Then a reporter said, "But your five consecutive dunks were stunning. During that time, you single-handedly dominated the Bucks."
"I don't think it's a big deal for Dong," another reporter chimed in.
"We've become accustomed to Dong's performances in every game," another reporter said. "Fans have given Dong many nicknames, like the Eastern Dragon, God, Superman, and the Light Chaser... Dong, which nickname do you like the most?"
"Do I have that many nicknames?" Dong laughed and then spoke seriously to the reporters, "But I still hope everyone will remember my name: Wade Dong, the Master of Ball Control and Rim Finisher, the Chosen One."
"????"
It was a long name, indeed hard to remember!
...
The biggest news from the post-game press conference came from the Bucks. When asked if he regretted scratching Dong, Mayo said he didn't and refused to apologize to Dong.
Mayo's refusal to apologize immediately caused a stir.
As soon as Mayo refused to apologize, many players started criticizing him.
Kevin Durant was the first to tweet: Players with a sense of protection don't keep long nails when playing, let alone in the NBA. Some people may look grown-up, but they act like children.
Although he didn't mention any names, Durant directly tagged Mayo in his tweet.
Besides Durant, many NBA players also tweeted, asking Mayo to apologize to Dong. But Mayo ignored all these tweets.
Half a day after this incident, the world boxing champion suddenly tweeted: Mayo, listen to my advice, the water is deep here, and you can't handle it. Dong is someone you can't afford to offend. You need to apologize to Dong immediately and focus on your game.
The world boxing champion's influence was no less than that of a top basketball star.
However, his tweet seemed a bit mysterious. What was he trying to warn Mayo about?
What did he mean by saying the water is deep, and you can't handle it? Why did he say that Dong was someone Mayo couldn't afford to offend?
But some netizens pointed out that Mayo and the world boxing champion seemed to have a connection, and after this tweet, Mayo really tried to find a way to apologize to Dong. Unfortunately, although Mayo was intimidated, Dong didn't bother to pay attention to him.
...
The next day, the Suns won another game on the road against the Knicks, making it three consecutive wins after their loss to the Lakers.
As expected, Dong, who had recorded a quadruple-double in one of the three games, was named the Western Conference Player of the Week.
After the game against the Knicks, the Suns flew to Boston to face the Celtics in an away game.
This game also made the fans excited...
"At this time last year, Dong broke the historical blocks record."
"The All-Star Weekend is coming soon..."
"Will Dong break another historical record when he faces the Celtics again?"
"If there is one, I hope it's scoring!"
Last year at this time, during the All-Star Weekend, Dong had a classic performance against the Celtics, recording 32 points, 26 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, and 18 blocks.
It was one of Dong's most memorable games!
The Celtics' last glory days were during the Big Three era, when Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen brought a championship to the team.
However, as the Big Three aged and eventually retired or were traded, the Celtics faced a rebuilding phase.
