I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 372 Passing the First Round Easily

On April 4, the first round of the playoffs between the Warriors and Nuggets, G21, officially started at Oracle Arena.

During the pre-game warm-up, the players from both teams were very relaxed and did not feel nervous because it was the playoffs.

The Nuggets team's idea is very simple. They were lucky enough to reach the playoffs and have perfectly accomplished their set goals.

I never thought about defeating the Warriors and performing the legendary Black Eight Miracle.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that their strength is not qualified enough.

Sun Yi only needs to make a slight move, which is already the Nuggets' limit!
The disparity in strength is too great, and all members of the Nuggets can only approach this series with the mentality of accumulating playoff experience.

For the Warriors, they didn't take their first-round opponent, the Nuggets, to heart.

It's not that they are too proud and complacent, but the confidence brought by their absolute strength.

Not long after, the game officially started.

In the first attack of the game, Sun Yi gave the Nuggets a powerful blow.

After Sun Yi ran back to get rid of Gallinari, he quickly went to the right three-point line, received Curry's pass, and hit a three-pointer.

It was the Nuggets' turn to attack. Ty Lawson dribbled to the frontcourt, called Koufos to play a pick-and-roll, and then shot a three-pointer.

Whiteside, who was changing defense, saw through Ty Lawson's purpose, seized the opportunity to rush to interfere, and blocked the shot.

Curry quickly picked up the out-of-control basketball on the floor, rushed to the frontcourt, and hit a three-pointer.

0: 6!

The Nuggets immediately adjusted their offensive tactics, and Afflalo relied on his personal ability to break through the basket for a layup.

Sun Yi, who quickly came to help defend, jumped high and grabbed the rising ball.

Bloody and brutal hat-grabbing!

After landing, Sun Yi immediately swung the ball towards the frontcourt.

Iguodala, who was on the fast break, received the pass and rushed to the basket, attracting the defense and passing the ball to the outside.

Clay in the right corner received the pass and steadily hit a three-pointer from the corner.

0: 9!

Not long after the game started, the Nuggets were stunned by the Warriors' crazy outside firepower.

Nuggets head coach George Karl saw the situation on the court was not good and immediately requested a timeout.

After the timeout, the Nuggets stepped up their offense, and Gallinari hit a difficult three-pointer from the outside to achieve a zero breakthrough.

Although the Nuggets' offense has improved, it is still difficult to score.

They want to find an excellent shooting opportunity from the Warriors' super-fast rotation defense, but the chance of this is very small.

This is not the most important problem that the Nuggets have encountered. The most fatal thing is that they cannot guard against the Warriors' offense.

The Nuggets really can't find a way to limit Sun Yi's scoring.

As long as Sun Yi is out of position against the Nuggets' defenders, his scoring is like picking something out of a bag.

The Nuggets tried to double-team Sun Yi, but the result was that they were mercilessly attacked by the Warriors' outside firepower.

In this way, the Warriors maintained their lead until the end with Sun Yi's outstanding performance on both offense and defense.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 125-86 and won their first victory in the playoffs.

全场比赛打完,孙逸投篮18投16中,三分球5投4中,罚球5罚全中,轰下41分8篮板7助攻4抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

Curry performed equally well, making 8 of 5 three-pointers and scoring a double-double of 22 points and 12 assists.

As for the Nuggets, there is no one who can play.

After this game, the fans saw that the strengths of the two sides were not on the same level, and they no longer had hope for a Black Eight miracle.

It can be said that the Warriors have one foot in the second round of the playoffs.

……

The result of the ensuing G2 game was as fans expected. The Warriors easily defeated the Nuggets with a score of 131-91, taking a 2-0 lead in total.After this game, the outside world unanimously believed that the Nuggets would be swept out by the Warriors.

There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, the strength gap between the two sides is too big. Even if the Warriors let go of Sun Yi, the Nuggets have no chance of winning the game.

Just when everyone is looking down on the Nuggets, there are still a small number of die-hard Nuggets fans who still retain a glimmer of hope, hoping that the Nuggets will bottom out and win a precious victory when they return home.

Their confidence lies in the fact that the Nuggets have a very high winning rate at home this season and are a veritable devil's home court.

Moreover, when Sun Yi visited the Pepsi Center Arena twice this season, his performance was not very outstanding and can only be described as mediocre.

As we all know, if you want to win against the Warriors, you must guard against Sun Yi.

Nuggets fans see this and have hope for the Nuggets.

The Nuggets, who were given hope, returned home with something, but not much.

In the G3 game, the Nuggets showed the courage to break the boat, the determination to fight to the bitter end, and coupled with the home court advantage, they were able to play neck-and-neck with the Warriors for a while.

But when it came time to chase points, the Nuggets didn't have a decisive superstar in their lineup. They were blocked by the Warriors for several consecutive rounds and missed the opportunity to chase points.

The Warriors took the opportunity to hit a scoring climax and instantly widened the point difference.

After the score was opened, it was extremely difficult for the Nuggets to get back.

Whenever the Nuggets are about to close the point difference, the Warriors will have players step up and score to stabilize the situation on the court.

In this way, the Warriors relied on strong defense to maintain their lead until the end.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 114-95, taking a 3-0 lead with a total score and a match point.

全场比赛打完,孙逸投篮18投12中,三分球8投4中,罚球6罚全中,轰下34分14篮板10助攻2抢断3盖帽的三双数据。

It can be said that triple-double data is as simple as eating and drinking for Sun Yi.

After this game, the fans basically guessed the final result of this series, and they had no interest in watching any more. They could only switch to several other series in order to get some fun from it.

Over in the East, the Heat and Hawks are playing in full swing. They all want to see if James will overturn, waiting to see the joke.

Generally speaking, the Heat have a low chance of overturning, but it will not be easy to advance to the second round.

……

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye it was G4 between the Warriors and Nuggets.

The Warriors didn't give the Nuggets any chance and took away the game in one go.

With the outstanding performance of Sun Yi and Curry, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 121-86.

At this point, the Warriors swept the Nuggets with a total score of 4-0 and easily advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
