Chapter 174 Dynamics

The Hornets' victory this time did not enter the headlines of the website for the first time, because it can no longer cause any sensation and discussion. The Hornets have proved that they can easily defeat the Nuggets and advance to the next round!
What attracted attention was the game between the Mavericks and the Lakers. There was no deviation from the previous life. The Mavericks once again defeated the Lakers at home!After the game, a large number of people discussed the game,

At the beginning, many people thought that the report about "Presti deliberately stuck the Mavericks in the sixth game against the Lakers" was ridiculous, but after three games, many people had to believe that the Lakers, the champion of the previous season, were indeed no opponents of the Mavericks.

At the same time, Presti's mobile phone was blown up by the gambling company!

Everyone's purpose is the same. Presti was invited to be an analyst, but Presti refused one by one, joking that he only remembered the regular season rankings and the results of the playoffs, but he didn't have that kind of memory for the big head's 82 regular season games.

On April 4, the Hornets and the Nuggets ushered in the fourth game of the series. After watching the first three games, many people have already determined that this game is the last game for the Nuggets.

In the first three games, the Nuggets' players have tried their best. The core players have performed better than last season's playoffs, but every time they play a climax attack, they are always beaten back by Presti's attack after a timeout!
Presti's starting lineup is still: Jeremy Lin, Bradley, Paul George, Jason Smith, Whiteside.

The Nuggets are: Lawson, Efflalo, Gallinari, Kenyon Martin, Nene, this time the Nuggets mentioned Gallinari as the starter, while Chandler stayed on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets quickly entered the rhythm of the game. Lawson teamed up with Kenyon Martin and led the team to an 8-0 spurt!

Presti immediately called a timeout, and simply arranged defensive tactics,

Pause back,

Whiteside dunked consecutively and abused the basket, Paul George made a steal and staged a one-stop game, Bradley also made an open three-pointer, Paul George changed hands and made a layup, and the Hornets quickly overtook the score.

Back in the second quarter, the Hornets continued their strong performance. Paul George teamed up with Gordon to play an 8-0 spurt to help the team expand the point difference. JT Smith scored five points in a row to help the team stabilize the situation.
But Whiteside succeeded inside consecutively,
The Nuggets requested a timeout,

After a pause,

Gallinari and Afflalo continued to score three-pointers, and the Nuggets continued to narrow the gap. Gordon and Belinelli responded with consecutive hits from the outside.

Soon the second half will come,

After Lawson made a steal, Paul George hit a three-pointer again to stabilize the situation.And JR Smith and Afflarot hit consecutive three-pointers,
In the final stage, Paul George ignored the defense and made a shot. At the end of the third quarter, the Hornets continued to expand the point difference 83-66.

Back in the last quarter, Presti gradually replaced the bench lineup, while the Nuggets kept the main lineup, JR Smith replaced Lawson, and all the Nuggets bet three points! , and then JR Smith assisted Nene to dunk, and Alaro caused a foul from the outside and made two free throws.

But Paul George ignored the defense and scored 3+1. The game basically lost suspense. In the end, the game ended. The Hornets defeated the Denver Nuggets 118-101 at home.

In the series, the Hornets swept the Denver Nuggets 4:0 and advanced to the next round!
The fans at the scene applauded frantically, and the entire New Orleans Arena erupted,
They did not make the playoffs last year, but this year they swept their opponents and advanced to the second round!

The most important thing is that there is still a lot of room for reinforcement this season, which has never been thought of before!
After the game, Presti and the players were also very happy to accept the interview. When asked about the next round against the Thunder Tower, Presti could only smile and said: "The Thunder is a team I built with two seasons, while the Hornets I only used one season. Therefore, in terms of maturity, the Thunder must be the stronger one, but our players are also very good, and they may not be incapable of fighting!"

The players are also full of confidence in the next round. Although the regular season was swept by the Thunder, so what, the Nuggets also beat us in the regular season, haven't they been swept by us?

In short, there is a coach, and the confidence is bursting!

On the other side, Presti was also watching the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks.

After the start of the game, Dirk Nowitzki and Kidd blossomed internally and externally. The Mavericks made a fantastic 7-0 start. Kobe and Artest scored consecutive points to help the Lakers bite the score. After the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Lakers by 30 points 27-3.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Odom opened fire on the outside, and the Lakers quickly caught up with the score. Barea and Jason Terry made consecutive three-point fouls to help the Mavericks stabilize their advantage. After halftime, the Mavericks temporarily led the Lakers by 56 points 52-4.

Fighting again in the second half, the Mavericks' outside shooters felt warmer. Stojakovic and Jason Terry hit three-pointers one after another. Kobe and Fisher responded in the same way. The Mavericks have maintained a weak lead.

In the decisive moment of the last quarter, Barea was maliciously fouled by Bynum during a counterattack, and Bynum was expelled from the field.

The Lakers failed to reverse the game before the end.In the end, the Dallas Mavericks beat the Lakers 104-95 at home!

In the final series, the Dallas Mavericks swept the Lakers to advance to the next round!
Similarly, the Mavericks' home court fell into madness!

As soon as the game was over, Cuban called immediately!
"Haha, Presti, our Dallas Mavericks swept the Los Angeles Lakers!" Cuban said excitedly.

"Well, I told you a long time ago, the Lakers are no match for your Mavericks, how about it?" Presti laughed.

"I admire you so much, you can see it!" Cuban laughed.

"Well, can we really win the championship this season?" Cuban remembered what Presti said to him at the time.

"No problem, this season, your Dallas Mavericks will surely reach the top!" Presti said with certainty.

"Okay, if you win the championship, I invite you to come to my house as a guest, and I will cook myself!" Cuban was still excited, trembling with excitement at the thought of reaching the top of the NBA and realizing his dream!

"Then I'll wait," Presti said bluntly.

After that, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then hung up the phone.

At the same time, the first round of the Western Conference series is all over, and all are advanced 4:0!

The second round will be out soon!
