Chapter 270 Break through the first round!
At the press conference after the final match, the long-lost Ron finally appeared in front of the media reporters...

"Yes, we are ready...The goal has never changed from the beginning to the end...That is the championship!"

The confident smile after the rhetoric exaggerated the passion and desire of every reporter on the scene. At the same time, in the Pampas Plateau, the Denver Nuggets, which ranked third in the Western Conference with 55 wins and 37 losses in the regular season, were ready to face their strong opponents.

"The day after tomorrow..." Billups Shenhua said restrainedly to the local media: "The day after tomorrow will be the time when everyone will witness the team's 100% strength... Please remember, we did not play our full strength in the regular season... I think it is a win-win situation for us to fight against the Houstonians, not the experienced Spurs..."

"You mean they deliberately picked us?" Anthony smiled with a sunny boy: "Just because our coach Carl was plagued by injuries? (Assistant coach Dantley was in charge at the time) I will tell Houston with actions that they made a big mistake..."

Everyone says their team is good, and everyone thinks they have a better chance of making it to the next round.

Make it to the first round!
It's like bravely traveling to the end of the world, growing from a young swordsman to a respected hero step by step, going through untold hardships...

This is Ron's first trip to the playoffs...

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Just like every time facing the playoffs, Iverson is always more excited than anyone else...

Just like Dayao, he has long forgotten all the regrets of last year, always thinking about how to attack the basket more easily...

Everyone is saying that there will be no miracles in the first round of this year's playoffs, and the teams in the second half cannot easily advance. Of course, this does not mean that the process is lost.

Looking ahead, Ron may become the Rockets' next opponent team, and none of them will advance more easily than the Rockets, including the mighty defending champion Lakers...

...

First, the potential opponents in the Western Conference semifinals: the battle between the bulls and the horses-this group matchup will become the second most gorgeous series comparable to the Rockets vs. Nuggets in the first round:

If the aces of both sides are displayed, the Spurs: the team, the defense, the complete specifications brought by the three aces, the backcourt spoiler led by George Hill; the Mavericks: the thickness of the inside line (Dampier + Haywood), Dirk's personal ability, Athletic striker (Butler, Marion), Terry's cold shot, Kidd's organization.

The Mavericks have one more home court, but the Spurs have a little more hidden advantage-in terms of on-the-spot command, Popovich is much more stable and ruthless than the bookish Carlisle.

...

Then there is the team of kings-the defending champion Lakers VS the fledgling recruit Egg Thunder.

Will Westbrook cut a series triple-double on Fisher?
Will Bynum, who often eats the Thunder's insiders raw in the regular season, return and what is his state?
Kobe Bryant's physical condition in doubt?
Artest can't guard Du Shao?
Looks like the Lakers are a bit overwhelmed...

But if you really think this is a game of No. [-] in the league vs. No. [-] in the West...

...With the above factors, the Thunder has no chance.

It's simple: Playing in the playoffs is experience and insiders.

The Thunder has the league's leading scorer, hard-working and united young talents, and a top-ten defense in the league, but this does not prevent Bynum, Gasol and Odom from having a picnic inside the Thunder.

Of course, the Thunder will try their best to make every game full of suspense, but compared to the huge inside group of the Lakers, they are too young and thin.And, throughout the season, their offense has faltered at critical moments (partly because the world knows they're going to be handed over to Durant, and partly because Westbrook's mind is full of sexual fantasies as soon as he gets to the free throw line);

For Durant, Green, Harden and Westbrook, this will be a set of experience series for youngsters to pay tuition fees, but it will also help other teams aiming at Beat-LA to find the weakness of the king...

...

However, in the West, compared to the Lakers VS rookie Thunder, the never-satisfactory bull-horse battle, the Suns VS Grizzlies offensive and defensive battle, the Rockets vs. Nuggets is destined to be the most exciting first-round series in the industry.

There's a lot of gimmicks here (as if gimmicks always revolve around the main character)...

Will Iverson regard the Pampas Plateau as his personal T-show again?

Is Yao Ming constrained by the Nuggets' insiders?

One is the Houston Rockets who fought 7 games with the Lakers in the semifinals last year; the other is the Denver Nuggets who were severely humiliated by the Lakers in the Finals last year...

One is catching up at the back end of this season and creating this magical season; the other is sitting on 20 consecutive victories at home and playing the best regular season record in team history...

Judging from the outstanding achievements in the past, it is hard to distinguish...

Anthony, Billups, Ty Lawson, Andre Miller, Kenyon Martin, JR Smith, Nene Hilario…

Yao Ming, Iverson, OJ-Mayo, Dragic, Scola, Tyson Chandler, Kyle Lowry, Trevor Ariza, Nick Young…

From the strength on paper, if injuries are not considered, Houston is even more advantageous...

The playoffs are not a simple numbers game. Sometimes 1+1 is even less than 1. Of course, relying on the macro and micro control of the two masters Ashuai and Sloan, the Rockets have everything in terms of compatibility and chemical reactions...

The real problem is to conquer the devil's home court of the Pampas Plateau. The Nuggets, who hold home court advantage, are more secure in winning than the Houston Legion, which has been formed for less than a year...

The Nuggets have a 2-2 tie against the Rockets this season (if the Nuggets won in Houston before the season, the Rockets even have the upper hand), but due to Karl's health problems, the Rockets definitely have an advantage in on-the-spot command.

By the way, Nuggets backup coach Adrian Dantley spent his prime in Houston.

In the second half of this season, the two teams fought 1:1, and the two games were basically decided in the third quarter.

Billups gave the triumphant Rockets a sap...

A mad Iverson kills the old master...

Both teams have shaky records due to the absence of the team's leading inside aces (Yao Ming and Nene), but they will both return for the playoffs.

Ty Lawson's speed attack always gives A Shuai a headache, but Lowry always gives the Nuggets a headache in the backcourt.

Anthony and the old Iverson are also unreliable at critical moments, but Iverson has a heart that Melon can never match...

The two sides were also praised by Kobe as the most tenacious and tenacious team in the west and the least willing to meet in advance...

To be precise, they are the image representatives of Texas and the Northwest District respectively: rock-like tough guys, xiaoqiang who can't be beaten for thousands of years, vicious screens, collisions, vertical jumps, physical confrontations, countless free throws, chasing three-pointers, and roaring spectators.

Each has a super embarrassing sixth man (JR Smith VS Nick Young) who is as bold as a rock.

As a result, the duel became the league's wildest counterattack, the most unrestrained rushing team VS the league's smooth high-low coordination, and the most disciplined team army; the famous devil's home in the west + the best away team in the playoffs in the west VS The strange thing that the away record is better than the home record.

There are flashy and flexible muscular insiders VS technical flow and wild flow, there are seven-foot men of the same standard who are good at defense and good at offense (Marcus Camby VS Yao Ming), and they are also afraid of the real super all-star incarnation of Iron God.

Therefore, if both Yao Ming and Nene can be 100% healthy, then neither of the two teams may be able to break the opponent's home court.

It would be like two master serve-bottom Muggle tennis players playing a set, each winning their own serve games.

Likely, the game will be played out in Denver.For the Rockets, the opportunity for victory is that, although Billups can always control the beasts of Denver, Dantley will make a little mistake after all.

That's their chance.

On the contrary, for the Nuggets, as long as Yao Ming is exhausted...then victory is a certainty...

Or that Iverson went berserk for 4 games in a row, and swept away the Northwest local tyrant who sold himself like a gust of wind?
With NIKE's old-fashioned lines - nothing is impossible!
