Almighty legend life

Chapter 703
On April 2004, 4, there were two more matchups in the West in the first round of the playoffs.

In Minnesota, the Rockets suffered their second road loss, a 98-97 loss to the Timberwolves.

Neither Yao Min nor Garnett became the protagonists in this game, and the person who really decided the direction of the game was "Madman" Sprewell, this frighteningly insane state player played amazingly in this game. Surprised performance.

Sprewell played 36 minutes and scored 31 points. He hit 17 goals in 11 shots, including [-] of [-] three-pointers. His god-like touch completely defeated the Rockets' perimeter defense. burst.

Yao Min, who performed well in the previous game, encountered a tight double team from the Timberwolves. The Rockets lacked enough lethal players on the outside to create space for Yao Min to play singles. The Timberwolves showed their mobility. The characteristics of being strong and quick defensive rotation kept the victory firmly in Minnesota.

In Los Angeles, the Lakers also easily defeated the Grizzlies 98-79. O'Neal clocked out after three quarters and scored 28 points and 15 rebounds. It takes a few years of training to gain something in the playoffs.

The second home game of the Mavericks will be held on April 4th. The players of the team have adjusted very well. After all, they are at home, so everything is more convenient. And to be honest, the fans in Dallas are quite crazy. This is Liu Han Something I hadn't seen before with the Lakers, on game day, Dallas' loyal fans would even come outside the court hours in advance to wait for the game to start, during which Mavericks fans would send shockwaves to the visiting Nuggets. Although Liu Han had seen scenes of 20 people booing together when he played football in Europe, it was an empty place after all, while in the American Airlines Center arena, when more than 10 When people boo collectively, anyone in possession of the ball can't help but feel weak.

On April 4th, there are three playoff games on this day, of which there are two games in the East and only one game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets in the West. There will be fewer games in the middle of the week than on weekends. In fact, the broadcast of the TV series still pays great attention to the ratings.

In two games in the Eastern Conference, the Pacers, without Artest, still beat the Celtics 103-90.

Artest chose to take a rest because of a finger contusion. Without his defense, Pierce finally played a role. He alone carried the heavy responsibility of the team's offense. The dynamite package repeatedly hit the inside of the Pacers like a bunker. He hit 18 goals in 7 shots. The shooting rate was still not high, but he had 16 free throws. Pierce hit [-] of the [-] free throws.

But even so, the Pacers still won easily because their bench players were much better than their opponents. The Celtics bench players only scored 11 points, while the Pacers scored 43 points off the bench. The Celtics lost too much to the Pacers on this point alone.

In another game in the Eastern Conference, the Nets once again beat the Knicks at home 99 to 81. The current situation of the two teams facing each other across the river has just changed.

The Nets have played more reasonably since Jason Kidd took control of the ball. After the "Eagle County" incident, Kobe began to mature. Low attack.

For the Knicks, Marbury fought alone.

If you love someone, send him to New York. If you hate someone, send him to New York. Now Marbury is almost in this state. When he came to New York with great ambitions, he found that this place is actually not so It’s beautiful, everyone lives with a mask, and the impetuousness of the city also affects the players of the team. Marbury wants to show his ability, but he makes more and more mistakes. Now even some fans have begun to have opinions on him. up.

The ratings of the East this year's playoffs are slightly lower than that of the West. After all, some defensive teams have not performed very well, while teams with a small market have achieved good results with their defense.

The game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets was still held at the American Airlines Center arena of the White Ocean gang. When the Nuggets players came here, there would be something strange unconsciously, especially some young people.

After a big loss in the last game, the Nuggets also made a summary after returning to the hotel, but they have been fighting for the eighth place in the Western Conference at the last moment of the playoffs, so there is no system at all. I have studied the tactics of the playoffs, so even if I want to make a change now, it is very hasty.

The head coach of the Nuggets, Bzederik, hopes that the team can do a good job in perimeter defense, especially cutting off the connection between Liu Han and others, but his players don’t particularly like defense. Among the Nuggets’ perimeter defenders , Probably only point guard Andre Miller is a player who is willing to take the initiative to defend, and the others are actually strong offensive and defensive players.

As in the last game, the Mavericks still defend man-to-man. Liu Han, Josh Howard and Odom are all good players in one-on-one defense. Mison also has his own experience in the interior defense.

Therefore, after laying a solid foundation for defense, the Mavericks still maintained their high-efficiency and quickness in offense. Relying on their home court advantage, the Mavericks wiped out the Nuggets' last bit of winning with a wave of three-pointers in the opening game. desire.

However, compared to the previous game, Anthony's condition has finally recovered. He began to try to rely on his own weight and strength to hit in a sitting position. This played a big role to a certain extent. Liu Han also repeatedly made up Anti-Anthony makes the Mavericks' defense not have too many problems, but the Nuggets are just that. Camby only wants to grab rebounds, and he can only attack in the low post. The Nuggets have no way to organize and organize. offense, so the Mavericks' defense also appears to be very good.

The final result of the game made the Mavericks fans very satisfied, 115 to 92, the Mavericks won both home games easily, Liu Han hit a triple-double in this game, this is his 58th triple-double this season, such an achievement even It is also very rare in the period when the Great God ruled the alliance.

In addition to Liu Han's 27 points, Dirk Nowitzki and Odomi also scored more than 20 points. The Mavericks scored in double figures with six players. The number of offensive points made the Nuggets hard to defend.
