Chapter 647 Is only One Step Away From Sweeping
"This game, hey, it just went to waste." Chen Tao, a senior AI fan in an apartment in China, sighed after the game.
He actually knows that the Nuggets are not as strong as the Lakers, and the rankings explain everything, so he didn't dare to expect what the outside world said about black eights and counterattacks. He only thought that the Nuggets could win one or two games and he would be satisfied. .
After all, as Iverson's age increases, everyone can see that he is far from the peak, and his speed, bounce, etc. have weakened, which is a fatal weakening for AI that relies on speed and body to eat.
After all, Iverson's shooting is not stable. 80% of his points are basically from the shots after the breakthrough, and the reduced speed means that it is impossible for him to break through as recklessly as before, so his threat on the offensive end will be greatly reduced. .
In addition to Iverson's defensive loopholes due to his height, Iverson may soon slip from the ranks of the league's top superstars.
And he can also see that Iverson and Anthony have already clashed in this game. There is almost no cooperation between them in the second half. It is just a more straightforward individual singles. George Karl even gave up any tactics in the end. This is also the reason why the Nuggets have never been able to regain the score, and it is not surprising that they lost close to 40 points in the end.
Looking at Iverson and Anthony, who still had no communication on the court, Chen Tao had a clear understanding in his heart. This must be the last season of the Nuggets' golden two-gun cooperation. The Nuggets will likely send someone to exchange helpers this summer.
And this person is likely to be Iverson, after all, compared with young Anthony, age is not on Iverson's side.
"Hey... I hope the next game will be played well. It's really one less game to watch." Chen Tao silently turned off the TV. He just guessed and couldn't do anything. He could only wait for the fourth game to support them.
Chen Tao is not alone, he is just one of the lost Nuggets fans after this game. At the Pepsi Center, when the whistle sounded, there was no one in the stands. The fans left, and those who stayed sat in their seats, watching the team swallow the worst loss in the history of the playoffs at home.
With 37 points, they looked at the number on the scoreboard in disbelief. It was the Nuggets' worst loss in the playoffs.
This also means that the probability of their first-round playoffs this season is infinitely close to 100%. According to the state of the team today, they really dare not expect this Nuggets to break the NBA for decades. No team has done it. record of.
After the game, all the Nuggets left the court with quick steps, and Iverson returned to the locker room a few minutes earlier. He didn't care whether he was fined or not. He really couldn't stay any longer.
And Anthony kicked the trash can fiercely in the player tunnel, and the two big men pulled the wall without smashing the wall. It can be seen that the level of anger has exploded.
Few players from the Nuggets stayed to greet the Lakers players, but the Lakers players on the court seemed very relaxed. Ji Feng was almost sweating on his body. , so if we don't fight, we won't fight, we can win anyway.
To be honest, they played very easily in this game. Gasol, who played the most minutes, was only 34 minutes, and Ji Feng, who played the least, was only 28 minutes. This is definitely the most comfortable victory in the three games.
"This is the worst playoff game in the history of the Nuggets." English took a long time to say it after the end. In his opinion, the Nuggets are just handing over the victory to others, starting from the first The end was doomed in a minute.
ESPN also expressed similar views after the game. They believed that the game had lost its suspense from the first minute, and even joked that the Nuggets' home basket had been beaten into wrought iron by them.
"Can be used for kitchen utensils, man," they said.
Although you Nuggets fans want to hit people, but looking at the data, you can hardly find a reason to refute others.
In this game, the Nuggets made 86 shots and only hit 30 goals, with a shooting rate of only 34%. This is still in the case of a lot of data in the last garbage time.
The entire team threw 20 three-pointers, only scored 5, and the shooting rate was only 25%. They were completely lost in the Lakers defense.
Personally, Anthony started to compete with himself from the first minute today. He played 39 minutes, threw 23 goals, only hit 5 goals, hit 21%, only scored 16 points, grabbed 10 rebounds but only 1 1 assists and 4 turnovers.
Anthony's performance was also reported by many media after the game. This was the worst play in Anthony's playoff history.
"Anthony should learn to adjust his emotions." Barkley said after the game.
The Denver Sports News called on the media not to put too much pressure on Anthony, so that they can play a last-ditch effort in the last game.
"Fight for honor." The Denver Daily even directly typed this title, and it seemed that there was no hope for the team to advance.
The other core general, Allen Iverson, didn't get any chance in the first and second quarters, and finally started to shoot and was infected with the art of blacksmithing.
The audience made 5 of 16 shots, and the shooting rate was much better than Anthony, but he still only scored 15 points and had only one assist.
I don't believe it when they say they're okay, this is a singles team.
And their full blacksmith is also reflected in other players. For example, Kreza scored 15 points, but only 4 of 9, Martin scored 12 points of 5 of 11, and JR Smith scored 11 points of 4 of 11.
On the other hand, the Lakers made 80 shots and scored 37 goals in the game. The shooting rate is not high, but 46% is enough to hang the opponent, especially the three-pointer. Today, the audience made 25 shots and scored 10 goals. The hit rate is really good. The Nuggets will cry when they see it.
Personally, Kobe Bryant played 33 minutes and scored a game-high 22 points. 9 of 19 was much better than the next two shots. In addition, he also had 7 rebounds and 7 assists, a perfect core.
And Ji Feng played 28 minutes, scored 20 points, and also had 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Ji Feng also broke two consecutive double-doubles in the playoffs, of which 15 points were three-pointers. In the game with the highest percentage, the whole game was deducted once. It can be seen how easy Ji Feng played, he didn't need to be hard at all to win.
Although Ji Feng himself is not very happy about it!
his mission...
Gasol was the most efficient. He played 34 minutes in this game and scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks on 9 of 9 shots. Today, he is the father of the Nuggets inside.
JKJ has such a performance. In addition to Fisher's 5-of-8 and 14 points, Walton's 6-of-7 and 15 points, and Farmar and Vujacic's 9 points each, the Lakers' victory is a certainty.
The most important thing is that they successfully won this important away game, and they are only one step away from sweeping the promotion!
