Chapter 170 The Second Attack!
The Nuggets fans left the Pepsi Center with a dejected expression. They did not expect such a result. They thought that the Nuggets would win, but instead of winning, they were also defeated.

"Unexpected result!" Kenny Smith patted his partner Jason Kosmicki comfortingly.

"I'm not strong enough, I can't help it," Jason Kosmicki sighed.

But what formed a sharp contrast with the scene was the Hornets players on the field. The players excitedly bumped their chests to celebrate, roaring, to celebrate the first big victory!And Paul George, the MVP who played the best in this game, was interviewed by the media!
When asked why he was able to perform like this in his first season as a rookie, Paul George said excitedly: "Because I was very lucky to be selected by Presti. Presti knew me better than myself. He formulated the most suitable training plan for me, arranged for me the most suitable position on the court, and allowed me to maximize my potential. I just need to work hard, and everything will come naturally."

Of course, Presti will inevitably be surrounded for interviews, and Presti is also seriously answering the reporter's questions.

……

Another game between the Lakers and the Mavericks has reached the last 1 minute and 9 seconds of the fourth quarter. At this time, Jason Terry hit the iron with a two-pointer, Artest grabbed the rebound, and rushed to the top of the arc to chase the three-pointer directly!

bang!Strike the iron!

Kidd gets the rebound!

40 seconds left in the game!
It can be said that the game is over,

So at this time the Mavericks lead the Lakers with 90:76! With a lead of 14 points, the opponent has the ball in 40 seconds, how to chase?
The final whistle sounded, and the Lakers lost to the Mavericks at home 83:92.

The Los Angeles reporter who interviewed Presti at the time was at a loss,
Home field advantage, the record ranks third in the West, the opponent is only sixth in the West, how could they lose,
In an instant, Presti's words came to mind: "Why did I lose to the Nuggets in a row, and I gave up the home court advantage, just to let the Mavericks play against you and the Lakers! Hurry up and buy tickets for four games in one go. Enjoy the last four games of the Lakers this season."

Could it be, could it really be swept away?

Similarly, the Lakers fans at the scene were also recalling what Presti said at the Sputnik Center: "The Lakers can't pass the first round, and the Hornets will go further!"

No, the Lakers will definitely win in the end.

The next day, what Presti said at the Lakers Arena was published again in various newspapers. If other people said so, the fans would take it as a joke, but Presti said, then it is another matter, especially if the Lakers did lose in the first game.

At a certain training facility of the Nuggets, Presti couldn't help laughing when he saw the news. How could he make the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers feel worried and doubt his home team?You can be a little proud.

In the previous life, the Lakers fans said: "When the Mavericks 1:0 the Lakers, the Lakers didn't care, and the final result would be 4:1; At the time of the Lakers, the Lakers still said in a daze, is this eliminated?"

While Presti was recalling her previous life, a voice interrupted herself,

"Coach, your phone," Whiteside said, holding out Presti's phone.

"Thank you" Presti took the phone,
As soon as she answered, Anjali's charming voice came to her ears, "Presti, your future father-in-law's team will be bullied by the Thunder, what can you do?"

"What's wrong with bullying? I was leading the players in practice and not watching the game," Presti asked.

"We were behind by 22 points in the first half." Anjali said helplessly. Although she was very happy to be in the playoffs, losing so many points with so many fans was too much.

"Don't go grab the offensive rebound, and then press the rhythm and delay the shot clock," Presti said quickly.

"Is this useful?" Anjali asked.

"Well, the score will be less," Presti affirmed.

"..., Presti, I'm asking if it's possible to win, or lose single digits"

"With the king's configuration, it's impossible," Presti affirmed.

"Okay then" Hearing Presti say so affirmatively, it must be hopeless.

After chatting with Anjali for a while, Presti continued to guide the players in training.

On April 4th, the Pepsi Center Arena was already full of Nuggets fans. They came early to cheer for their home team, hoping to win this game and win this home court advantage!
Presti looked at the players full of confidence and said seriously: "In this game, the opponent will definitely do their best, because the opponent knows that if they lose, they will face the fate of being swept away, so I am here to tell everyone, no matter what, maintain discipline and keep a clear mind at all times, and don't get confused after being hit by the opponent for a small orgasm."

Speaking of this, Presti glanced at the players below, and suddenly said with a smile: "If anyone gets confused, congratulations, you can watch the game for free."

"Haha!" The players laughed out loud after hearing the free game, and the atmosphere changed from serious to happy, and then they all made it clear that they would not watch the game for free.

In the locker room on the other side, George Karl waved his arms, encouraging the players to work hard in this game!Must win!
Half an hour later, the game started,

Nuggets starter: Lawson, Efflalo, Gallinari, Kenyon Martin, Nene.

The Nuggets have changed their formation. In the last game, George Karl pulled Chandler to the shooting guard position to match Bradley, forming a dislocation advantage, and suffered a disastrous defeat.

In this game, Chandler was decisively placed on the bench to increase firepower against the Hornets' rotation headed by Gordon.

Hornets starters: Jeremy Lin, Bradley, Paul George, Jason Smith, Whiteside, and Presti also changed. In this game, Presti did not play David West or Okafor, but Jason Smith.

The reason why Jason Smith was chosen is because he moves fast, can be very effective against Lawson, Afflalo and Kenyon Martin's pick-and-roll, and can quickly release the ball when double-teaming.

In addition, Jason Smithson has three points, the best season can reach 36.8%, which can open up space very effectively!

In short, Presti is still determined to win this game!
