Immediately after the game ended, the Phoenix Suns had defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in a quarterfinal matchup that left the audience in disbelief. The final score was clear: a dominant victory for OKC,
but immediately, a wave of doping and tribulations began to spread.
In the exhibition area, Will Hardy, the Utah Jazz coach, walked out with his final stride. His eyes were raised in a look of authority and anger, as if he wanted to crush the entire room in an instant.
His hands clenched, his fists clenched, his shoulders tense beneath his protective gear.
He took a deep breath, then shouted, his voice echoing throughout the room:
“I WARN YOU AND I DEMAND THAT THE NBA INVESTIGATE OKC’S DOPING SERVICES AND SEE HOW THEY CHANGED THE SCORE FROM 23-1 TO 24-1!”
The crew members, relaxing and climbing back up the slope, panned relentlessly, capturing every gesture: tightly bound hands, wrinkled velvet jackets as if under pressure, eyes blinking blankly into space, full of tension and helplessness.
Hardy continued, his voice now low but still wanting to drown out the sound in the room:
“And now, the Phoenix Suns are in trouble in the quarterfinals AGAINST OKC!”
A few crew members zoomed in and whispered to each other: “He’s not just angry… he’s sounding the alarm in the NBA.” Another outspoken crew member noted: “His gestures, even his basic language, show utter rage and frustration—as if the entire season is dropping before his eyes.”
A nearby journalist asked, his voice trembling:
“Coach Hardy, are you the one who edits the NBA score after the game?”
Will Hardy frowned, turning his head toward the camera, his gaze sharp as a knife:
“Don’t underestimate what I’m saying. The scorecard changes, the Suns’ moments of control—it’s all happening! This is unprecedented in NBA history. If they don’t investigate thoroughly, we’ll see even more injustice.”
The room erupted in murmurs. Some whispered that Hardy had to report a post-game score-fixing service, something unprecedented in terms of money. One member zoomed in without a hint:
“Are you doubting the NBA’s ability to get results?”
Hardy nodded, his voice hoarse:
“Yes. I don’t believe this is a natural outcome. When one team consistently outperforms, takes a lead by a rapid score, and then there are these bizarre adjustments, you have to question it. I have faith in the NBA, but I also have faith in fairness.”
Another member cautiously asked,
“Is Mr. Sun thinking he’s harming himself, or is there an outside factor at play?”
Hardy clenched his fists, lowering his voice as if to warn:
“Both. The Suns are losing themselves on the court, but behind the scenes, there are unexplained factors. They must take responsibility, but the NBA must also answer. Otherwise, suspicion will spread.”
The cameras zoomed in on Hardy’s face, capturing every wrinkle on his brow, every tense frown, every clenched hand movement as if trying to control his rage. A more open-minded member whispered to a colleague, “This is the first time I’ve found a coach who not only reacts to the game, but also raises questions about the history of the NBA itself.”
As Hardy walked out of the press conference room, he turned back, his gaze still intense, his voice low and cold:
“What I say today will not be lost. Fans, players, and the NBA will have to face the truth.”
Outside, social media immediately exploded:
#OKCDopingAllegations
#HardyExplosiveStatement
#PhoenixSunsQuarterfinalsDrama
Fans were divided. Some supported Hardy, others defended the Suns, and still others believed this was just a reaction to a devastating defeat.
But one thing was certain: with this dangerous and powerful statement, Will Hardy had unleashed a wave of questioning and drama in the NBA—a storm that will surely last for weeks, even seasons.
