I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 95 Big Score 2:0
"Liu He, how do you evaluate Carmelo Anthony, who is in the same class as you?"

"Anthony is a very good player. He brought me a great challenge on the offensive end tonight, which made me very troubled. But I hope that he can bring me even greater challenges!"

Liu He talked eloquently.

The implication is that Anthony is strong, but not strong enough for me.

The translation is, Anthony is strong, but I am stronger!

All the reporters smiled knowingly.

This is the answer to Lao Liuhe.

No matter who Liu He evaluates, Liu He always says: You know, XXX is excellent.But I am better!

Of course, Liu He is qualified to say that because he won.

In the end, the reporters ate "full bowls" one by one, and returned with a full reward.

Then came the Nuggets press conference.

When Anthony heard Liu He's remarks:

"Winning all the time, I can't feel happy anymore!"

"Anthony is great, but I hope he can give me a bigger challenge!"

Anthony's mouth twitched in anger.

Fuck, that bastard is hardly human.

Anthony has grown so big, he has never seen such brazenness... It's Versailles without Bilian.

Anthony immediately told the reporters: "Go tell that guy, in the next game, I will let him experience the joy of losing!"

Anthony's words are too crazy, after all, no one thinks that the Nuggets can beat the Lakers.

But as the boss of the team, it is impossible for Anthony to say that he will lose.

Before the fight started, the boss of the team conceded first, so what's the point?
In any case, Anthony always has to say a few words on the scene to stabilize the morale of the army.

As for whether it can be done, do your best!
……

In addition to the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, there are three more matchups tonight.

Celtics vs Pacers.

Nets vs Knicks.

Grizzlies vs Spurs.

In the first two groups of Eastern Conference games, the strength gap between the two sides is relatively large, and there is no suspense.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Celtics 104 to 88.

“真理”保罗·皮尔斯在“野兽”罗恩·阿泰斯特的防守下，18投仅5中，全场砍下20分10篮板4助攻3抢断，外加8个失误。

Artest is too strong this year, and his defense is definitely a nightmare for every striker.

小奥尼尔24分11篮板1助攻1抢断3盖帽。

Artest had 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

Their striker should be the strongest in the league.

The Nets beat the Knicks 107:83.

杰弗森21分5篮板5助攻，基德尔斯20分4篮板4抢断，马丁16分11篮板，基德14分5篮板13助攻2抢断……篮网队多点开花，尼克斯队防不胜防。

The last game was the Spurs playing the Grizzlies.

This year's Grizzlies have a very good record in the regular season, with the best record in team history of 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference.

Facing the third-ranked Spurs in the Western Conference, fans feel that the Grizzlies have a chance to fight anyway.

But after the real fight, the fans discovered the truth.

灰熊队当家球星保罗·加索尔，面对邓肯，全场11投仅3中，靠着8中8的罚球才得到14分2篮板2助攻1抢断2盖帽。

It is understandable that Duncan restricted the scoring, but Gasol, a 213cm big man, got 2 backcourt rebounds in the whole game, which really shocked everyone.

After this battle, Gasol became a typical example of "a dragon in the regular season and a bug in the playoffs".

Sure enough, the playoffs are the stage for stars.

邓肯全场18投12中，高效拿下26分9篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽。

In the end, the Spurs beat the Grizzlies 98:74.

That concludes the first day of the playoffs.

Liu He, who scored 27 points, was not only the scoring leader of the Lakers, but also the scoring leader of the 8 teams on the first day.

His outstanding performance immediately received a lot of praise and attention.

Coupled with what he said at the press conference, it made fans even want to ignore him.

"Winning makes you numb, winning makes you unhappy! Brothers, who else has ever seen someone who is more pretentious than Liu He?"

"That's the level of Larry Bird back then."

"Hehehe, Liu He has not inherited Bird's honor, he first inherited the throne of the king."

"Brother, I can't stand it anymore. Please, who can beat the Lakers?"

"Anthony, come on, kill the Lakers in the next game!"

"There is no hope, the gap between the two sides is too big!"

……

Then came the second game day.

Today is also a four-group duel.

Bucks vs Pistons.

Hornets vs Heat.

Rockets vs Timberwolves.

Mavericks vs Kings.

The Pistons played the Bucks in the first group, and the Pistons showed hell-level defensive strength.

雄鹿队老大迈克尔·里德全场10投4中，只得到11分4篮板2助攻7失误。

In the end, the Pistons beat the Bucks 108:82.

The second group of Hornets beat the Heat.

The strengths of the two teams are extremely similar, and they were stalemate from the beginning of the game to the end.

Final moments, 79:79.

Until the last 1.3 seconds, Wade hit a lore shot to help the Heat beat their opponents 81:79.

Wade scored a game-high 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

The essence of the killer is fully revealed.

This ball also established Wade's cornerstone position in the Heat.

The third group is the Rockets playing the Timberwolves.

The Rockets are a relatively deformed team.

Yao Ming at position [-] and Francis at position [-] are absolute strengths, but the other three positions are too weak.

Such a lineup is also doomed to the direction of the game.

At the beginning of the game, both Francis and Yao Ming exerted their strength to force Cassel and Johnson.

But for the Timberwolves, Sprewell and Garnett are unstoppable at positions 2 and 4.

The two sides fought each other until the fourth quarter.

Garnett began to show his ability to defend, assisting Francis on the outside and defending Yao Ming on the inside.

Under Garnett's defense, the Rockets didn't even score a point in the first half of the fourth quarter, so the Rockets fell into a disadvantage until they were defeated.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Rockets 89:81.

The fourth matchup is the Kings vs. Mavericks.

This matchup was also the only strong matchup in the first round of the playoffs, which attracted the attention of countless fans.

With Finley back, the Mavericks lineup is very gorgeous.

Nowitzki, Nash, Walker, Finley, Jamison... plus the Dallas double ugliness that gradually came out: Josh Howard, Marquis Daniels.

But it's really the playoffs.

Finley made 13 of 4 shots and scored 9 points.

Walker made 13 of 3 shots and scored 9 points.

Nash made 14 of 5 shots and scored 13 points.

These three cobblers killed Nowitzki.

诺维斯基全场19投12中，砍下32分13篮板3助攻3抢断5盖帽的超级数据，都没能取胜。

But the only consolation is that Shuang Chou performed well.

约什·霍华德8投4中，得到11分5篮板1助攻2盖帽。

丹尼尔斯15投6中，得到13分6篮板5助攻4抢断2盖帽。

These two rookies outperformed the three All-Star players.

As for the Kings, the core played very well.

Peja scored 28 points and 8 rebounds.

Webber had 26 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists.

Doug had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists.

In addition, Bibby, Divac and Anthony Peeler also scored in double figures.

The Kings opened fire across the board, killing the Mavericks alive.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Mavericks 116:105.

In this regard, all 8 groups of G1 in the first round of the playoffs have been played.

Apart from feeling that the game was good, the biggest feeling of the fans is that... this year's rookies are so strong!
刘河27分5篮板5助攻3抢断1盖帽。

安东尼25分7篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽。

Wade had 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

The performance of the three rookies is really amazing.

"Are these three still rookies? Their performance is almost the same as some veteran players."

"It is said that the 2003 rookies will change the structure of the league in the future, but this year is the rookie season, and they have already affected the situation of the league."

"Liu He's shooting, Anthony's offense, Wade's lore...too strong!"

"It's just a pity that our Cleveland James didn't play in the playoffs, otherwise his performance would definitely be no worse than Liu He, Anthony, and Wade."

"..., so we didn't let James play in the playoffs?"

"In the Eastern Conference that can enter the playoffs with 36 wins, they can't even enter the playoffs, and they still have the face to scream."

"I really envy James' fans! We still have to worry that Liu He, Anthony, and Wade may not play well. But James' fans don't have to worry, because they don't even have a chance to worry."

"It has to be James, who is so strong that fans have no chance to worry."

"James: If I don't make it to the playoffs, I won't have a chance to prove that I can't do it."

……

2004 4 Month 19 Day.

The Lakers ushered in their second game against the Nuggets.

The starting lineups of the two teams have not changed.

Nuggets:
Camby, Nene, Anthony, Leonard, Miller.

Lakers:
O'Neal, Malone, Liu He, Kobe, Payton.

The Lakers grabbed the ball in the first round of offense.

At the beginning of the game, Liu He, Ma Long, and Payton pulled apart.

Kobe holds the ball on the wing, and O'Neal is stuck in the low post.

Bryant puts the ball in O'Neal's hands, then suddenly starts off the ball, gets rid of Leonard, and runs to the baseline.

O'Neal immediately passed the ball back to Bryant.

Kobe pulled up and shot, against Leonard who had just chased him up and shot.

Swish!
2: 0.

The Lakers' opening tactics were almost exactly the same as the previous game, except that Kobe didn't make it last time, but this time he made it.

It seems that Kobe has a good hand tonight.

The Nuggets attack.

Andre Miller advanced upfield, sped up suddenly, pulled up to meet Payton and shot.

Swish!
2: 2.

The Nuggets also feel good.

Lakers offense.

Kobe continued to cooperate with O'Neal.

After O'Neal got the ball in the low post, Kobe started running without the ball again and ran towards the baseline.

It's just that Leonard was prepared this time and followed Kobe closely, and Kobe had no room to shoot.

Kobe feinted, squeezed Leonard away, and drove the ball along the baseline to the basket.

Camby can only be forced to shift Kobe.

Kobe took his time and flicked the ball into O'Neal's hands.

O'Neal caught the ball and dunked.

boom!
4: 2.

The Nuggets attack.

Miller advanced to the frontcourt.

This time Payton kept a close eye on Miller and didn't give Miller a chance to make a move.

But Nene groped quietly and gave Miller cover.

Miller took advantage of the moment when Nene blocked Payton, pulled up and shot.

Swish!
4: 4.

Lakers offense.

Kobe and O'Neal played exactly the same routine on one side.

It's just that Kobe made a fake shot this time, and didn't really pass it to O'Neal. Instead, after tricking his opponent, he jumped up and turned to layup.

Camby tried to block the shot, but was a step too late, and it turned into a thug foul.

Kobe made 2 free throws.

6: 4.

The Nuggets attack.

Miller rushed to the middle distance again.

But this time, Liu He rushed forward and cooperated with Peyton to pinch Miller.

Miller didn't have a chance to make a phone call and gave the ball to Anthony.

In an instant, Malone pounced on Anthony.

Anthony missed the shot under Malone's interference.

Lakers offense.

Kobe and O'Neal continued to cooperate on one side.

When Kobe rushed to the basket, the Nuggets immediately shrank the lineup and flanked the OK combination. After all, it proved that Leonard and Camby alone could not prevent the OK combination.

In an instant, the basket was overcrowded.

Bryant jumped into the air, found the Malone trio on the other side, and threw the ball over.

Ma Long passed the ball to Liu He in an instant, and he and Payton blocked the defender who was rushing towards Liu He.

Liu He took aim, squatted down, raised the ball, and twirled his fingers without haste.

The basketball crossed a long parabola and drilled into the basket with precision.

Swish!
9: 4.

The Nuggets attacked again.

Miller was flanked again in the middle distance and immediately passed the ball to Anthony.

Anthony encountered Malone's supplementary defense, hesitated and then passed to Nene.

Nene rushed to the basket with the ball, but was stopped by Liu He who rushed over.

Nene forced Liu He to shoot, the basketball hit the front of the basket, and Liu He took the rebound.

Liu He immediately found his teammates who had already made a fast break.

The Lakers completed a wave of defensive counterattacks, and Payton scored a layup.

11: 4.

In an instant, the Lakers opened up the point difference.

With Kobe recovering, the Lakers showed their true strength and completely crushed the Nuggets.

Beep!
Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik called a timeout immediately, trying to reverse the situation.

After returning from the timeout, Leonard received a pass from Miller and hit a three-pointer from the wing.

11: 7.

Bzdelik breathed a sigh of relief, and the Nuggets seemed to be on the mend.

Lakers offense.

O'Neal and Kobe continued to cooperate on one side to attract the opponent's pincer attack, and then distributed the ball to the other side in a wide range.

As soon as Liu He got the ball, the Nuggets rushed over.

Liu He was not in a hurry, and gave the ball to Ma Long again.

Malone took the ball, and the distance from him to the basket was empty. He immediately took the ball to kill and hit the rebound to score.

13: 7.

The Nuggets attack.

Leonard tried to replicate his score from the previous round, but was denied by Bryant's interference.

The Lakers instantly had another wave of defensive counterattacks.

15: 7.

The Nuggets attacked again, and the ball moved around without a chance, and finally it was given to Anthony, who forced Liu He to shoot.

Bang!

Anthony, who was in full form in the last game, fell back.

No one feels cold forever, and no one feels hot forever.

Lakers offense.

Bryant and O'Neal continued to attract the defense on one side, then moved to a trio on the other.

Liu He pulled up and voted.

Swish!
18: 7.

Just halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers' lead has reached double digits, and the game has a tendency to be overwhelmed.

At the critical moment, Andre Miller made a mid-range shot against Payton.

Brother Wen Wei's mid-range shooting is really as stable as an old dog.

18: 9.

The Lakers' offense is still the same tactic.

One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky.

Kobe moved the ball to Liu He on the other side.

The Nuggets pounced on Liu He.

Liu He took his time and threw the ball at Kobe who ran out again.

Kobe was wide open and easily adjusted his shot.

Swish!
21: 9.

So far, the Nuggets have no power to resist.

End of first quarter, 33:18.

The Lakers led by 15 points.

At the end of the three quarters, 94:67, the Lakers led by 27 points.

In the fourth quarter, coach Bzdelik directly replaced the fringe players and announced that he would give up the game.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Nuggets 122:98, leading 2:0.

Kobe scored a game-high 26 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
