Liu Xiu smashed the ball into the basket and did not slam the rebound, but slammed the confidence of Nuggets players... No, there is still someone who did not give up!

Just now, Kenyong Martin gave up chasing Liu Xiu to fight back. After standing firm, Anthony did not give up. He chased him back, but he just didn't catch up.

After Liu Xiu succeeded in dunking, Anthony rushed in and picked up the ball, and sent it to Kenyon Martin, who had not yet reached the three-point line, and then rushed out and shouted "Give it to me."

After receiving the ball, Anthony rushed to the frontcourt quickly.

9 seconds is not time?

The miracle of 8 seconds and 8 seconds has been done, it is something that people can do. When a similar situation is right in front of you, Anthony feels that he is the one who can do such a thing again!

Scoring a goal, fouling the opponent's free throw, scoring another goal, tying the score or even winning the finale... This is Anthony's plan.

However, after he rushed to the shooting area, the extrajudicial madman was already blocked.

The calm high school student did not relax because he locked in the victory, and was always on guard and did not leave any chance for Anthony.

Anthony stopped in the defense of the extrajudicial madman, jumped and made a three-pointer... "Bang"... The extrajudicial madman took off vertically and fanned Anthony's three-pointer!

He rushed back to pick up the ball and serve the ball and rushed over to shoot. Anthony relied on hope and full of dreams to support him. He was extremely excited and did not notice that his jumping height was like Yao Ming!

The hopes of the entire Nuggets team were shattered by Liu Xiu, and Anthony's last luxury hope was also slapped away by the extrajudicial madman!

The ball was blown to the other half, and bounced a few times after landing, slowly rolling on the floor, and no one went to grab the ball.

Anthony fell to the ground with exhaustion after being blocked. He rang out at this time. Even if he made the three-pointer, they seemed to have used up their timeouts. There was no condition to give him a miracle of 9 seconds and 9 minutes...

The countdown is back to zero, and a long whistle sounds!

12 of 26 shots, including 5 of 11 three-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws. Anthony scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, but lost to Liu Xiu at the critical moment.

Liu Xiu made 10 of 21 shots, including 3 of 9 three-pointers and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, leading the team to defeat the Nuggets 103-99 and won the first victory in the series!

Anthony fell on the floor and felt that the lights on the court were really dazzling. He wanted to find a dark corner to hide and lick the wound... The light was blocked.

Liu Xiu reached out to Anthony. Anthony shook his head and laughed slightly, and took Liu Xiu's hand and stood up.

Influenced by Liu Xiu, Anthony developed a competitive personality during college, but outside the game, he was still the Carmelo Anthony who liked to enjoy life, made friends, and was loyal.

...

...

“A friend comes from afar:

Target 1:...(The host scores 31 points in total, 3 offensive rebounds in total; Carmelo Anthony scores 38 points in total, 4 offensive rebounds in total)

…”

The head of the mine bandit has only 7 rebounds in total, and 4 of them are offensive rebounds! As for this kind of battle?

The next morning with the Nuggets G1, Liu Xiu got up early, had breakfast, and listened to the newspaper as usual.

Today's reading is Anne Hathaway.

When listening to the news, Liu Xiu looked at Brother Dong's mission and thought that offensive rebounding in Target 1 would be an advantage. As a result, he would play life-threatening rush as long as he played without the ball, but he still couldn't grab Brother Dong. This guy has more offensive rebounding than defensive rebounding!

After complaining inwardly, Liu Xiu felt that he would still do the main target 2 as he thought at the beginning!

Most of the news on the first game day of the playoffs were related to the G1 of the Trail Blazers and Nuggets. The battle between Syracuse Brothers was highly concerned, with high ratings, and the game process was exciting. At the last moment, Liu Xiu intercepted and counterattacked a one-stop smash game... Bill Walton's evaluation - Liu Xiu counterattacked and dunked twice in this game, and no matter how many times he watched it, he was still excited.

That’s right, the media and fans’ direction of this series is very different from Liu Xiu’s feelings.

Public opinion generally believes that the Nuggets have hope of completing the Black Seven, and this round of series will inevitably become more intense in the future, but Liu Xiu's feeling is that the Nuggets are not that tenacious.

When the most tenacious star of a team is Dong Ge, it is really difficult for Liu Xiu to associate this team with the word tenacious...

Moreover, although the process is bumpy, the Trail Blazers did have a great increase in confidence after G1!

The Nuggets were definitely at the explosive level last night. Anthony became the first member of the playoff group this season, but the Trail Blazers still won!

Liu Xiu's performance at critical moments is the confidence of his teammates in critical moments of the game.

Payton's performance in the second half of the final quarter is also intimate. The Nuggets have two veterans, Person and Byron Russell, and the Trail Blazers have it!

Moreover, compared with the two role players of the Nuggets, Payton occasionally has an appearance and can even reach the core position!

Another game last night also attracted a lot of attention after the game.

If this game is the same as the other three games, the team in the upper half will win, no matter how intense it is, even if the Kings lose their popular balloon star Chris Weber, there will be no particularly many people paying attention.

However, this game is the only low-best match on the first match day!

95-84, the Kings defeated the Mavericks away, Peja made 12 of 24 shots, including 6 of 8 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws, and led the team to win by 34 points!

After breakfast, Liu Xiu went to the forum for a while. People were surprised by the performance of the Mavericks. After watching the game reviews and all the game clips, Liu Xiu did not watch the video and learned about the situation of the Mavericks.

After the Mavericks lost to the Jazz in the curtain call, Liu Xiu guessed whether the Mavericks would continue to be weak in the playoffs?

During the winning streak, the Mavericks can keep gritting their teeth and not let their condition collapse.

But after the 16-game winning streak was over, the Mavericks played so badly, and collective depressedness was not enough to describe their bad condition at that time.

I guessed it so much, but it really continued into the playoffs!

Liu Xiu felt that Brother Dong was so miserable. If their Nuggets could reach sixth in the Western Conference, they would really have the possibility of reaching the second round.

But when Dong Ge meets their Trail Blazers, he will not give Dong Ge a chance.

As for the Nuggets, they were already ready to play the Mavericks, and they were the Trail Blazers who rushed to the West, making the Nuggets miss the opportunity to meet the weak Mavericks... Once again, Liu Xiu will still fight. Of course, he will be second in the West.

Not to mention the fact that he has stabilized his home advantage in the second round, the third place in the West will enter the playoffs, which will be more than 20,000 US dollars less than the second place in the West, so he will have to score a few hundred US dollars less!

Liu Xiu thinks that Brother Dong is still young, so he doesn’t rush to enter the second round of things...

…

After playing a playoff game, Liu Xiu completely entered the playoff mode. Except for listening to his girlfriend or sister's reading and making a fuss report in the morning, he no longer cared about other series and focused on his eyes.

After resting for a morning, in the afternoon, Liu Xiu came to the Rose Garden Arena and followed the team to prepare for the second game of the series with the Nuggets tomorrow.

In that case, the entire Trail Blazers were very excited and were very enthusiastic about preparing for the game.

After the team training, several veterans, Payton, McDyce, Lynch Hunter, George Lynch and Van Horn, led their teammates to conduct small-scale cooperation training.

Seeing the players' positive appearance, the vice president said to Huo Tu: "Last night's victory was not in vain."

Huo Tu nodded: "That's right, such a victory will eliminate our careless and impetuous emotions, which is a little too dangerous. The Nuggets' strength is stronger than we expected."

"Yes, the game plan last night was obviously wrong..." The vice president said and looked at the coach.

The coach Dalala said: "What are you worried about? Losing is not a big deal."

The vice president said angrily: "Losing a game is indeed not a big deal. We at least won 62 wins. There is still confidence in this. It is impossible for morale to collapse, but it will definitely be affected. It will also give the Nuggets a chance to start a trend. What if we end up capsizing in the gutter because of this game?"

The coach waved his hand: "Didn't we win? We compete for the stars, compete for hard strength, and make full preparations for the frontal defeat. The Nuggets, who are in a state of explosion, do you think Carl regrets that he has made such full preparations for the game?"

The angry vice president couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Yes, his on-the-spot response is a little worse, and his rotation preparation is not that good. The Nuggets won't last for so long, their players won't have so much hope, and they won't be so disappointed in the end."

"But if Carl didn't, our confidence-building plan wouldn't be so successful!"

"Even so, we can't be careless in the future..."

"Yes, yes, you can't be careless or careless. You don't have to worry. Our young men will definitely not be careless. The Nuggets performed so fiercely last night. Our players must know better than us how cautious we will be in the next game and should not be careless at all."

"It's you, not us..."

Huo Tu and Bu Shuai were used to the vice president and the head coach's disagreement and suddenly started arguing, and then suddenly reached an agreement, and then suddenly started to argue...

…

The preparation time for the day soon passed. At 8 pm on April 25, the second game between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets started as scheduled at the Rose Garden Arena.

In the past 48 hours, the Nuggets have been very optimistic about the series of the Nuggets and Trail Blazers in the basketball circle.

It was better at the beginning, and it was a pity to say that Anthony scored 38 points; the Nuggets lost 4 points, and their strength was better than expected.

But the more you go, the more outrageous it becomes.

By now, public opinion has become the Nuggets' strength to suppress the Trail Blazers, and Black Seven is in sight.

Those who don’t know thought it was the Nuggets who won the first game of the series.

Such public opinion is really beyond the expectations of both teams. The world is gradually entering the Internet era, and the news is becoming more and more magical.

This gave the Nuggets players confidence, but this confidence, unlike the positive emotions brought by the anger of being looked down upon at the beginning of the series, is a false confidence without any background. Not only does it not play a role in gain, but it also blurs their understanding of their own strength.

Such confidence is like rootless water. After the game started, the Trail Blazers scored 29-18 in the first quarter, leading the Nuggets 11 points in a single quarter, making Nuggets players doubt their lives!

Originally, the confidence of the G1 Nuggets players was collapsed by Liu Xiu's counterattack dunk that killed the game. If you calmly adjust your mentality, you will not say that your confidence will recover, but it should be no problem to stabilize your emotions. After all, it is a 50-win team.

But they are influenced by public opinion and have cognitive deviations. People like to listen to what they like, and they will subtly feel that it is right. In this case, they will be hit again and their confidence will be completely shattered!

The Trail Blazers' defense in the first quarter was actually not as good as defending the Nuggets' single quarter score below 20 points. Instead, the more they play, the more they become more and more explosive, and they collapsed early.

The one who fights the Nuggets is Xiao Feishui!

From being replaced in the first quarter in 3 minutes and 44 seconds to being replaced in 10 minutes and 58 seconds, in more than 7 minutes, 4 of 6 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, 12 points and 2 assists!

The Nuggets' best performance was still Anthony, who made 3 of 8 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws, scored 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and 4 offensive rebounds in a single quarter grabbed Liu Xiu's question mark.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets, whose beliefs collapsed, did not make effective adjustments, while the Trail Blazers responded properly to the adjustments and made better use of the current favorable conditions.

Liu Xiu scored 8 points in 2 of 5 shots and 4 of 4 free throws in a single quarter, Flying Squirrel scored 10 points and 4 assists, Randolph scored 3 of 3 shots and 4 of 4 free throws in a single quarter, and the three continued to play their personal advantage and led the Trail Blazers to score 34 points in a single quarter.
To be continued...
