Chapter 233 Killing the restricted area!

David Wesley laughed and said: "The Hornets are stable, they must have advanced"

"There is no way, one is No. [-] in the West and the other No. [-] in the West. There is already a gap in strength," Barkley said lightly.

The Nuggets fans at the scene left the arena in a daze. Although they didn't want to admit it, the strength of the Hornets is indeed much higher than them!Some people say that to see whether a team is strong or not depends on his performance at critical moments. Obviously, in the critical moments of these two games, the Hornets are not comparable to the Nuggets in terms of ball handling ability or key ball ability!
League group, George Karl: "I can't help it, I really can't beat it, the next game will be my last game!"

Pooh DeNagello: "You have played very, very well. If we play, we will definitely not be able to hit the critical moment."

Lionel Hollins: "Indeed, it's beyond everyone's imagination whether your team has a good offensive player or not!"

Corbin: "@普恩卡尔, you are really good, you can fight the Hornets like this!"

Spoelstra: "@George Karl, your game tactics have given me a lot of inspiration. If the Hornets come out of the West in the end, and we beat them, I will definitely thank you a lot!"

George Karl: "Haha, thank you. With the configuration of our team, I really have no regrets in playing like this,"

Fan forum, Hornets fans: "Haha, come to the next game!"

Hornets fans: "Who is the opponent in the next round? The Grizzlies or the Lakers?"

Lakers fans: "You still have a game, don't be too ambitious!"

Hornets fans: "Go back and care about your home team, the Grizzlies have already won a round!"

Heat fans: "Haha, who is our opponent in the next round? The same 3:0 is so lonely"

Spurs fans: "It's the same as 3:0, and the next round goes without saying that it will be the Thunder!"

Thunder fans: "Haha, I'm waiting for you!"

........................

In the training hall, Curry said with a smile: "Who do you think our opponent will be in the next round?"

George affirmed: "It must be the Lakers,"

"Why? I think it's a grizzly bear!" Thompson questioned.

Jimmy Butler said: "I also think it's the Grizzlies. First of all, the Grizzlies' style is tough! Iron blood, the twin towers formed by Gasol and Randolph must be more powerful than Gasol and Bynum. Secondly, Tony Allen of the Grizzlies is the best player to defend Kobe. With Mike Conley, an excellent organizer, the Grizzlies are optimistic about winning!"

George immediately retorted: "Tony Allen does have a good way of defending Kobe, but he can't completely defend him, he can only be limited, and on a stage like the playoffs, Kobe is even less likely to be defended to death, and Kobe is a very good perimeter defender. In addition, Gasol and Bynum are both All-Star players. How could he lose to Gasol Jr. and Randolph!"

Jimmy Butler immediately turned his head and asked Curry: "Curry, who do you think wins?"

Curry scratched his head, spread his hands and said, "I understand, I just know that no matter who wins, we the Hornets will win in the end!"

Thompson immediately burst out laughing!
Whiteside next to him smiled and said, "I support Curry!"

Jimmy Butler and Paul George overplayed their heads at the same time, and Paul George said first: "Still laughing, if the Grizzlies qualify, can you beat Gasol Jr. and Randolph?"

Before Whiteside could speak, Jimmy Butler said again: "If the Lakers qualify, can you beat Gasol and Bynum?"

Whiteside was at a loss for a moment, how did this involve me!

Seeing Whiteside's appearance, Curry laughed a few times, then put away his smile and said seriously: "Speaking of which, it's hard for us to play whichever of these two teams qualify."

Jimmy Butler said: "Indeed, the next round will be a tough battle!"

Paul George said confidently: "It's not easy to play, but we will definitely win. We don't have obvious weaknesses, but these two teams have very obvious weaknesses! The strikers are too weak!"

Thompson: You are all right, aren't you tired after thinking so much?What are coaches afraid of?
"Pfft!" Curry couldn't help laughing, and said, "None of us can understand as well as Thompson, we have a coach, let us play as we want."

At this time, Presti walked into the arena, and then saw the players gathered together, he could only helplessly say: "What are you laughing at? Go to training!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" The players looked at Presti, stood up immediately, and promised to pick up the ball and start training!They don't want to be punished by Presti for running again!

..............................

On May 5th in the Pepsi Center Arena, the fourth game of the Nuggets and Hornets series began!

The arena is still full of Nuggets fans, because everyone knows that this game is basically the last game of the season!

After the game started, the Nuggets hit the inside frequently!Faried and Koufus succeeded at the basket, helping the team lead 8-4!

But then under the defense of the Hornets, the Nuggets began to make consecutive mistakes, Paul George and Curry counterattacked successfully!The Nuggets equalized the score!

After that, the Nuggets' shooting rate plummeted, and they only scored 6 points in nearly 4 minutes!
The Hornets found the outside touch, Paul George, Thompson, Curry!After soaring three-pointers one after another, David West also scored 4 points in the interior with a penalty shot. The Hornets blasted a 21-4 climax and established a 29-point lead with 14-15!
At the end of this quarter, the Nuggets slowly recovered after two consecutive timeouts. Gallinari scored a three-pointer, and the Denver people were able to stop the bleeding slightly and narrowed the score to 1-19 at the end of the first quarter!

In the second quarter, Bradley hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, and Okafor also made a tip-up. The Hornets played 7-0 and extended their lead to 39-19!

However, the Nuggets launched a counterattack in time, and Lawson and Afflalo hit three-pointers to help the team chase the score to 30-43!

At this moment, Presti immediately called a timeout!The Nuggets feel a little bit out!
After the timeout, the Hornets felt mediocre on the offensive end, while the Nuggets shot more and more smoothly. Gallinari, who had a good shot, teamed up with Afflalo to score 3 three-pointers!Leading the Nuggets to further narrow the score to 40-46!

Presti had no choice but to call a timeout again!In fact, the game is like this, especially in NBA games, players may suddenly lose power in a certain quarter, and a sharp shooter like Curry has also missed 10 three-pointers!

After the timeout, Presti emphasized that the offensive end should play the inside line. Since the outside line is misfired, then kill the inside line and cause damage!
At the end of this quarter, the Hornets strengthened their inside offense. Okafor scored 4 points in a row, Jimmy Barrett also hit 2+1 in the attack on the inside, and Jason Smith also completed a low single and turned around. The Hornets were able to re-extend their lead to 56-46 at halftime!
