"Why Can't Black Eight? "——This is the title of the article written by Ludlin Brown, the sports columnist of the "Denver Post", in his column.

[If the champion of the regular season is the championship, then there will be no black eight miracles. Miracles come from hard work, and hard work comes from possibility. Denver has a rare inside height and strength in the league. Kenyon will tell the Clippers What is a perfect power forward? Maybe they will regret their poor inside defense when they face Kenyon at a loss. Nene, who is free from injuries, is undoubtedly the best center in the league. Tyson Chandler's The defense pays more attention to movement and assistance. Individual defense, especially facing the powerful insider Tyson Chandler, will immediately become stretched in defense, and Nene not only has a tough style of play on the inside, but also has flexible footwork. His existence may be It’s Tyson’s nightmare. Although Marcus is old, he can still contribute his defense and rebounds to the Clippers inside. Since ancient times, the insider has won the championship, even today, even before the Bulls Dynasty After Grant, there is Rodman.In addition, Cameron will tell Ron how slow his feet are. Cameron, who can contribute 28 points per game, will continue his scoring journey under the tight marking of the Clippers. Chauncey has never been A player who attracts 100% of the attention of the fans, but he will kill you in the crunch time, Chauncey is more aggressive on the offensive end this season, can Andre Miller and her young teammates hold back ?From any aspect, I only see the strength of one person, that is Lin Fei. I never deny his super personal strength, but he cannot represent the entire team. Dallas in 2008 will be a role model for the Clippers. LAC are you trembling? ] Ludlin's article undoubtedly directly put the idea of ​​the Nuggets' black eight on the table.

"Cameron, what do you think about the team's efforts to stage a miracle? Do you have the confidence to stage a miracle?" A female reporter with a murderous weapon squeezed in front of Anthony for an interview!

Anthony's eyes swept across Wei An's murder weapon, and he said with a smile: "Such a beautiful lady, everyone wants to win, even though our record in the regular season is only eighth, it doesn't mean we will raise our hands Surrender, if everything is carried out according to the ranking, we can consider preparing fishing tools for ourselves, but this is not the case, our predecessors have done it, and we hope that we can do it today, even if it is difficult, we will do it Work hard, because we have a hard-working heart."

Anthony's words directly moved out of the event that the Clippers led by Mutombo staged a Jedi counterattack and staged a black eight to eliminate the Supersonics, and further confirmed his thoughts to the media.

On the other hand, the "Los Angeles Times", as the guardian of Los Angeles sports, will naturally not sit idly by in the face of the "Denver Post"'s first attack. In terms of circulation and influence, the "Denver Post" is far behind the "Los Angeles Times". Far.

"Black Eight?It's not dark yet! "-This is the headline of the Los Angeles Times, and the columnist Mark Heisler of the Los Angeles Times directly gave a counterpoint analysis of the Nuggets and Clippers.

Coaches Showdown: Mike Dunleavy vs. George Karl
This is a lesson in the art and wisdom of field command!

Mike Dunleavy has worked in the coaching position for nearly 20 years. This is not a particularly long number. He has been to the finals and won the best coach once. He is good at tapping the internal potential of the team. The progress of this season is obvious. Praise, is the best candidate for the best coach this season, with a balanced offensive and defensive style and rich tactics.

George Karl has been coached by Mike Dunleavy for six years. The team's winning percentage ranks No.12 in the history of coaches. His coaching style is offensive. He is a persistent offensive coach. He has become the best coach in the league three times. He is good at attacking but has control over big-name players. The strength is not very good. The struggle with cancer in recent seasons has affected his coaching prestige, but his coaching spirit is unquestionable, and his defensive work is not good.

Final coaching position assessment: Mike Dunleavy = George Karl
Leaders Showdown: Lin Fei VS Carmelo Anthony
This is a contest between two super scoring machines!
Lin Fei has brought incredible strength to the team since he came to the Clippers last season. The pressure brought to the Los Angeles Lakers by the playoffs last season will be more fully reflected this season. His three-pointers and running The position is equal to the existence of no solution. It will become extremely difficult for Denver to defend Lin. After two seasons of growth, Lin has become more mature. It is necessary to stabilize the individual to become versatile while maintaining efficient offensive pressure.Inexperienced in the playoffs, the defense will face a serious test in the playoffs.

Anthony, please allow me to put him in the leader's position. This year is his fifth playoff trip, and he missed the first round four times. It may become a huge motivation for him. The offensive end is also unsolvable. Rich His offensive methods make it difficult for defenders to defend. He also has a huge heart and is a reliable guy at critical moments. On the defensive end, he needs to make greater efforts. Sometimes he works too alone and tends to lack reason. It is easier when encountering strong defenses Frustrated, but extra strong in the heart in the last few seconds.Artest will test Anthony.Ball distribution ability is still learning.

Core Comprehensive Evaluation: Lin Fei>Anthony

The remaining duels:

(1) The main force of the main lineup:

Andre Miller + Ron Artest + Tyson Chandler VS Chauncey Billups + Nene Hilario + Kenyon Martin
Often the key to a team's success is not the core leaders but the main players, who play a key role!

The role of Andre Miller and Ron Artest in the Clippers' starting lineup is so obvious that I can't prepare to tell who is the second leader of the Clippers. Ron's offensive firepower in Sacramento last season is beyond doubt. After coming to the Clippers in the new season, the role of scoring reduction has become even greater. He needs to help the team solve the opponent's main offensive point. He used to be a dangerous factor for a violent team. Maybe when he will get hot-headed, like this season I don’t seem to have seen the Ron, but that doesn’t mean he’s completely different from that Ron. On the defensive end, he’s still the most worrying existence for the swingman in the league. Although his feet aren’t flexible enough, his strong body is his The capital, Carmelo Anthony's scoring ability will test Ron's defense.

If Lin is the attacker of this team and the core of this team, then Andre Miller is the controller of this team. He is like a helmsman helping the USS Los Angeles to move forward. An underrated superstar, the shortcomings of long-range shooting ability will be magnified in the playoffs, but the Clippers need his organization nonetheless.His offense will be the Clippers' biggest reliance besides Lin.

Tyson Chandler, the core of this team's interior defense, his existence is not simply reflected in rebounds or block data, he is an indispensable presence of the team, although he is sometimes sieved by powerful insiders, But Tyson is the kind of player who can make the team better. The Clippers' defensive efficiency ranks first in the league this season. His best compliment, the Clippers' rebounding efficiency will skyrocket when he's on the court, the Brazilian will test him in the playoffs, and Tyson will prove it in his own way.Offensively he's the league's most efficient scorer, and he'll always be the one that gets overlooked.

Chauncey Billups, I think is the real leader of this team, but I still list him here because he is low-key enough, but low-key is scary, he also has a super big heart, offensive ability in The two seasons have been further developed, and his defense is equally terrible. Even if he has never been selected to the All-Defensive Team, he and Andre Miller will be exciting. His control of the team is not Assist data can be reflected.His rich experience in the playoffs will be the Nuggets' greatest reliance.

Brazilian Nene, free from injuries, is one of the best centers in the league. With outstanding physical fitness, he has flexible inside moves, but his fiery temper is his fatal flaw and even affects the victory of the entire team. His shooting ability is a bit weak, and his defense and rebounding are not very good. His height will be his biggest disadvantage. Although he looks [-] feet [-] inches, everyone knows his actual height. You must know Tyson A good seven feet one inch.

Kenyon Martin, once the No. [-] bouncer, has become the reliance of the Denver insiders. His fierce defense and rebounds are one of the sources of the team's victory. The second zone expanded to one step inside the three-point line, and his inside firepower will help the Brazilian Nene find more inside opportunities.

Bench duel:
Wilson Chandler + JR Smith + Steve Novak + Mario Chalmers + Roy Hibbert VS Chris Anderson + Anthony Carter + Linus Kleiza
This is almost an unsuspecting comparison. The Los Angeles Clippers' strong bench strength has been proven in the regular season. Young and impactful is what guarantees the Clippers' victory. Wilson Chandler came from the starting lineup to the bench He did not lose confidence because of this. He became the leader of the second team. If he hadn't played too few games off the bench this season, he would have become the favorite candidate for the best sixth man. JR Smith was the biggest reliance on the Nuggets' bench last season. He didn't lose his enthusiasm due to the reduction of playing time. He is still the scary nerve knife, but this knife is getting sharper and sharper. He averaged 2.5 three-point goals per game and ranked fourth in the league, with a high three-point shooting percentage. 4%, Steve Novak This is a tall and large turret. He will make it more difficult for the Nuggets to defend the bench lineup. He found his home in Los Angeles. He averaged 47.3 points per game in the regular season, of which 8.2 The most points come from three-pointers. In 6.3 games, he delivered 82 three-pointers for the Clippers. His 172% three-point shooting rate is second only to Lin Fei. The general manager will shut his mouth that he once laughed at Neil Olshu for giving 55.7 million in 4 years. Mario and Roy are treasures obtained in the Clippers draft. In time, they will be the main force of the Clippers.

For the Clippers, the lack of experience as a substitute may be a big problem. Whether the popularity of the regular season can continue to the playoffs remains to be proven.

If the Clippers' bench needs to be proven, then the Nuggets' bench will be even more difficult. It is an indisputable fact that Anthony Carter is old. Facing the young Mario and Golan, his pace will become even faster. Slowly, Chris Anderson is still the best shot blocker and still weaves a no-fly zone inside for the Nuggets, but where is his offense?Do you expect his three-pointers to bring 100% hit rate?Kleiza is the biggest reliance on the Nuggets' bench. The Lithuanian can attack and defend, but his speed and movement make it difficult for him to defend. The offensive end will be warmly received by Wilson.

The competition of the second team often determines the final fate of a team, and the Nuggets are obviously at a disadvantage, which will directly lead to a physical crisis for the main players on the court.

The matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers was a complete victory.

Finally, combining various evaluations, predict the Los Angeles Clippers 4:2 Nuggets.

毫无疑问这个专栏预测说的有理有据得到了很多人的赞同，在各大媒体的投票选择中快船和掘金的最终战绩快船以4:2占48.8%，快船以4:1胜出占24.7%，至于4:0占7.5%，而掘金以4:3胜出占10.5%，4:2胜出4.5%4:1胜出则占4.5%，掘金4:0横扫快船只有0.5%，从球迷调查的角度掘金队也不被看好。

The focus of the media is not limited to this round of duels. Each group of duels has attracted the attention and participation of countless people. It seems that the whole world has spent a few days in a war of words.

The last practice session before the game ended with the media interview time. There were many more reporters lap after lap in front of Tyson Chandler than usual because Nene, who came to Los Angeles the day before, said, "I will use Their weaknesses, I will do everything possible to show my toughness."

"Tyson, Hilario said he would show his toughness in front of you, how would you respond to him?"

"I need to do my own thing, I know what I'm here to do, I know I'm here to defend. I'm going to protect the rim, get the rebound. I'm going to get extra shots for the team. I don't need to judge and don't want to judge his thoughts, I just know that if we can play well on both ends of the offense and defense, then the sky is the limit for us."

After finishing speaking, Tyson Chandler moved away from the crowd and walked into the bathroom. The expression on his face was obviously different from when he just started the playoff training. At that time, the faces of the three major insiders of the Clippers were always hanging She was worried, but now she looked relaxed.

The hour of media interviews before the first round of the playoffs seemed to culminate in, "Mr. Cameron, this will be your fifth postseason trip and your first in the league." Five trips to the playoffs, the first four times you said goodbye in the first round, this time you have made up your mind to break through the first round, can I understand what you mean-this sentence means that you have enough confidence to complete Black eight?" ESPN's beauty reporter Erin Andrews was the first to put the microphone in front of Anthony.

Anthony is a relatively kind person from the outside. Although he was hailed as the next generation superstar when he first entered the league, his off-court and on-court personality caused him to be left farther and farther by James. Although Anthony has been able to do well this year Control his temper, but at this time Andrews is undoubtedly poking his wound, which he absolutely does not allow, "Irene, people always have bad times, the number of times Tracy and Kevin have been in the first round in a row More than me, they can make a breakthrough, why can't I?"

"Cameron, you mean you have Tracy and Kevin ahead of you so you're not worried that you won't make it to the second round in seven years? Does that make Tracy and Kevin Wen is dissatisfied?" Andrews pressed every step of the way, and Anthony felt bad, obviously he involved McGrady and Garnett, but the superficial effort still needs to be done, and he replied with a smile : "No, no, what I mean is very simple, that is, as long as people work hard, there will be breakthroughs, and never giving up is the best!"

"Lin, do you think you will win today's game?"

Lin Fei looked at the reporter in front of him and said with a smile: "Why not? We are fighting for victory, and we will not let the fans return with disappointment. I have the best teammates, the best coach and the best Fans and the best venue, is there any reason I can't win?"

"What do you think of Anthony's black eight rhetoric?"

"I don't want to comment, because that is an impossible event." After Lin Fei finished speaking, he pushed aside the reporters around him and walked into the bathroom.

When George Karl was about to walk into the locker room of the visiting team, he was stopped by a group of reporters, "George, what do you think of the media's predictions? Their analysis is just right. Is it really impossible for the Nuggets to achieve the Black Eight miracle?"

"Prediction? There are stupid people who make predictions before every game. I don't know where they come from. I hate things that look real and absurd. If the predictions work, I should be in the cold land by now. You should also stand in front of my tombstone and pray instead of conducting an interview." The old man remained passionate after fighting cancer, and even used his cancer-fighting miracle to fight back against the media's predictions.

"Charles, the game is about to start in half an hour. You have been fighting on the front line of the Nuggets and the Clippers for the past few days. You support the Clippers without exception. Now the game is about to start, aren't you going to say something? ?” Mark Jackson asked with a smile.

"Damn, I don't like to make any meaningless comments. You should know what I mean. The Clippers will easily sail to their destination instead of staying in the port of Denver." Barkley was dissatisfied.

"Mark, everyone knows that Charles only loves Lin!" The former Van Gundy showed his humorous side.

While chatting in the commentary booth, the first game of the 2008-2009 season playoffs officially kicked off, and all the war of words before the game will be tested in the most authentic way.
