Chapter 271 The game of G1!playoff virgins

"In the middle of the season, when your coach George Karl was found to have cancer in his neck and throat, and missed all the remaining games, your results began to fluctuate, and finally fell to third in the Western Conference. In the first round of the playoffs, you faced the Houston Rockets with Yao Ming..."

"Hmm!" Anthony responded modestly.

"Then will you still play the home court momentum you are proud of, and finally eliminate your opponent and enter the next round?"

Anthony replied without hesitation: "I don't think we are worse than others, and our results don't represent our true strength... Believe me, I guarantee that this time we can go further than any other season!"

"champion?"

"…we'll talk about it then!"

...

I don’t know if the injuries in the Northwest District are contagious. I saw the Trail Blazers, Juggin, Jazz, and Timberwolves getting injured one after another, especially the Nuggets and Trail Blazers. The three centers of the Blazers were all OVER, and Juggin was injured in turn. Anthony, Chauncey, Lawson, Birdman, Martin...

The most unbelievable thing is that even the head coach was injured, first Carl's cancer, and then assistant coach Dantley just took over, kidney stones...

The extent of this injury is probably unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future...

In the middle of the regular season, when the injury was not so terrible, they also played a record that is as old as the past. The Devil Plateau has won [-] consecutive victories at home, and almost got the throne of the league leader. The sudden injury ruined it all.

Everyone thought that they would bid farewell to the ranks of strong teams for the time being, but the rookies Lawson and Afalaro, who were traded in the middle of the season, must be said to be a surprise for the Denver people.

In the cruel west, each team fights desperately for tickets to the playoffs...

Look at a healthy grizzly, don't you tremble?

If you encounter the Texas Xiaoqiang Rockets during the [-]-game winning streak, are you not afraid?
Under the constant injury situation, it was difficult to fight against all kinds of powerful or empty-handed teams. When the season was coming to an end, all Denver people were pleasantly surprised to find that, oh, we seem to be still ranked in the upper half of the Western Conference. For a team full of injuries, without a tough heart, it is impossible to do it, but they did it.

In the face of such frequent injuries, it turns out that these two rookies are completely beyond everyone's imagination. Together with Anthony, who is obviously much more mature, and Nene, who has been promoted to the league's top beast, they maintained the strong momentum of the top three in the Western Conference and the top five in the league until the end of the regular season...

Moreover, Billups used his return to tell everyone how much the game with him is worth looking forward to. Chauncey is quite a master in both offense and defense this season.

When they regrouped the original team to prepare for the upcoming playoffs, I don’t think any team will deliberately find them to die. Even the defending champion star and the best player in the world Kobe Bryant once said that he did not want to meet the Nuggets in advance...

Coincidentally, there are still some people in this world who do not believe in evil...

This person won the first place in Denver's "Most Hated Basketball Celebrity" without any pressure...

he is a liar...

Anyone with a discerning eye knows how many teams chose to rest their main players in the last few games, but they generously and effortlessly pocketed the victory...

He's a hooligan again...

There are several middle-aged, old and young three-generation national goddesses who have been "tragicly" killed by him, and the sexiest woman in the world has always been obedient to him...

That person was the super-manager Ron who managed to keep the Houston building from collapsing by relying on a few strong drug deals, and then used the ban that once swept the United States to make Houston turn on the killing mode in the second half of the regular season, soaring all the way from the bottom of the league to the sixth place in the Western Conference.

"The Denver Nuggets were originally one of our prepared plans in advance..." Ron told the media before the first round of the playoffs in G1.

Ever since, at the seat behind the visiting team’s bench where he always chose to sit, some people welcomed him with graffiti and comic strips——“Bichi (English)”, “Traitor Jian”, “Old Fox”, “Mu You Xiao JJ”, etc...

"Ron? He's just a slippery opportunist..." the general manager of the Denver Nuggets said dissatisfied. "First, I got Mayo to kill us, and then Iverson was tricked by cheating...Actually, this season's regular season should be 4:0 for us, yes..."

A reporter: "But it's actually 2:2, and it seems that Yao Ming didn't appear in any of these four games..."

General Manager of the Nuggets: "...the boss called me, excuse me..."

...

From previous years, ever since this Texas Xiaoqiang had the Great Wall of the East suspected of being a patient with "giantism", the plateau prospectors always lost more than they won against the rockets flying into space. In 08-09, they lost their hair at a shameful 4:0...

Everyone even said that if he passed the Lakers test last year, he would rush to the championship...

what?
Doesn't the West need to play in the finals?
It can be seen how much the other party despises the Nuggets...

"Go eat shit, Yao Ming!" Everyone at the scene tried their best to annoy that modest Oriental man...

But it doesn't look like it works well...

Perhaps this is really a duel of fate, because the Denver Nuggets' [-]-game winning streak at home mentioned above, its terminator is precisely this seemingly bleak ordinary team...

That game still deeply hurt the hearts of every Denver fan. Their former idol Allen Iverson—a rebellious old boy who seemed to be holding the thighs of the "underdog" Rockets with a veteran contract indiscriminately, regarded this place as his own backyard garden on that day...

Originally, the Nuggets were still leading in the first quarter... After the latter came out, they slashed and threw passionately, sending the former owner into hell like a flashback...

So today, as soon as the Rockets VS Nuggets playoff G1 game started, the Pepsi Center gave this "innocent" national idol...

...

May I ask which team in the league has such a draw for the Nuggets?
It's by no means as simple as Shi Erlang, the number one convulsive man in the league, the genius madman Shi Erlang...

They can score 8 points in a single quarter of the Lakers defense, or they can lose to the Timberwolves, the vice squad leader of the West...

But there is no doubt that as soon as G1 started, they drew...

Maybe it's because Scarlett, the goddess of all people, and her best friend Taylor Swift's smiles on the sidelines are too charming - in the barren and desolate plateau, seeing the goddess is usually on the TV...

Or maybe I heard the goddesses booing for me...

In short, the Nuggets turned into a shooting team in the first half, and they were abnormally accurate!

Either JR, or Marcus Camby, after the pick-and-roll, moved to a high position, watching Yao Ming ignore him, wobbling in the mid-range shot, is enough for the Rockets to lift a pot...

Soon, Chandler and Yao Ming's starting twin-tower rockets were shot into a hornet's nest by the Nuggets shooting team...

Off the court, not only the childlike and innocent Anthony, but also Billups, who always looks gloomy as if the world owes him money...

The most exciting player in G1 is Aaron Afflalo...

This gentleman also missed 4 games against the Rockets in the regular season by coincidence due to injuries, and in the playoffs, he hit the Rockets like a magic soldier, and everyone was caught off guard...

Remember the Dunta Jones who challenged OJ-Mayo in the previous article against the Pacers?
After this guy left, I believe that most Denver people will go crazy. The Nuggets didn't stay with such a fierce defensive player. Looking at the traded Afflalo, they hardly have any advantage.

It is estimated that we will wait for the start of the game to see how the Nuggets' inside line is ravaged by others.

And this season, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that when Efflalo was healthy, his contribution on the defensive end was no worse than that of Dunta, and the offensive end was even better than that of Dunta.

He has excellent defense and mid-range ability, is a great perimeter defender, he is also a shooting guard, but can guard the two guard positions, smart enough to have a brain, and it is a pleasure to cooperate with Billups on the perimeter.

In this way, the Rockets' two guns in the backcourt, Lowry and Mayo, were completely turned off. After replacing Dela and Iverson, the offense did not improve, but the defense was completely lost due to physical disadvantages...

And Afflalo can shoot.

Afflalo has more tricks on the offensive end than Jones who only relies on quick counterattacks to score dunks.

You can often see him push Dragic to make kills, and you can also see him striding into the center of your penalty area to make a powerful dunk...

In this game, although Yao Ming actually repaired Nene, who had made a bold statement before the game and would give him a little color, and joined forces with Scola, who came off the bench, to dominate the penalty area of ​​the G1 game, but the combination of Anthony and Afflalo was not something that the Rockets, who had an advantage in the penalty area, could stop, and quickly lost...

97:92, even though the game was lost, it was not satisfactory, at least it broke the reserve of a few playoff virgins...

In fact, Ron carefully discovered that the heat of the rocket is gradually rising...

It is not to say that it is slow, as many as 20 turnovers in the first half and one failure in the second half may have already explained the problem...

Several times when Mayo caught the ball, his arm was even shaking...

And Dragic's confident three-pointer in the regular season was completely out of focus because of nervousness...

Nick Young, who was in a weak team, came in a hurry and left in a hurry, like playing soy sauce, and Jordan Hill didn't even dare to wave a towel...

It seems that only Lowry, Ariza, Yao Ming and Chandler with playoff experience are playing normally, but they are already stretched when defending Billups and Anthony...

Coupled with Iverson who was completely lost in the boos, the loss is also reasonable...

But what is surprising is that the Rockets lost 15 points in the first half and won back 10 points in the second half. Rao, this unreliable analysis method can also make Ron full of confidence in the G2 game...

In fact, on the first day of the playoffs, almost all the teams with home court advantage won, but no one was sure that the first round of the playoffs could not happen in the first round of the series...

So everything depends on the second scene...

　You can often see him push Dragic to make kills, and you can also see him striding into the center of your penalty area to make a powerful dunk...
