Chapter 648 Desperate, Let Go
"Congratulations on your victory, you are only one step away from qualifying for the second round of the playoffs. In this game, you set a new record of points difference and basically won the game without a fight. Congratulations." Shen Yang at the players The channel stopped Ji Feng, who had a sad face, to conduct an interview. She really wanted to ask why you were like losing the game...
This makes the Nuggets players look bad, as if they were talking about how to win more than 30 points...
"Ah, thank you, this is the credit of our entire team." Ji Feng scratched his head.
"But why is your expression still very solemn? Is it because this performance did not meet your expectations? You guys are leading 3-0..." Shen Yang asked the question from a different angle.
"Ah, although I won, I think I still have room for improvement. The end of every game is a new beginning. We still have the next game. We all hope to win this series better. , as for 3-0, we don't think about it yet!"
Ji Feng flickered at the camera, the photographers behind Shenyang gave Ji Feng a thumbs up, and the fans who watched the video also praised him.
What a low key player!
Only Shen Yang looked at the serious Ji Feng with black lines on his face, saying so much, at first glance, he made up!
"Well, is there any problem!" Ji Feng said a few thousand words eloquently, and the photographer was convinced. It was the first time he saw a player who could talk so much, until Shen Yang's eyes almost turned into circles, Ji Feng Just barely stopped.
Well, after saying a lot, I feel better...
He's still brooding about the game's inability to complete the mission!
"Ah! No, thank you for accepting the interview." Shen Yang said quickly, it seems that he will ask questions carefully in the future...
After winning this game, the Lakers came to 3-0, the only team in the entire league that came close to sweeping.
This is actually beyond the expectations of many basketball commentators. After all, although the Nuggets are only eighth in the West, they are still a team with more than 50 wins. There are also league figures like Iverson and Anthony in the team, and their scoring ability is absolutely Nothing to say.
Although there were not many people who were optimistic that they could counterattack, many commentators believed that the Nuggets could win one or two games no matter what. After all, Denver's home court is the Devil's home court anyway.
But I didn't expect the Devils to fall directly at home, and they lost the most in these three games, and their luxurious attacking line only scored 86 points in a single game, which is far lower than their average points per game this season.
You must know that this season they averaged 110.7 points per game and 18.7 points per game on fast breaks, of which 110.7 points per game ranked second in the season, second only to the Los Angeles Lakers' 115.3 points.
In other words, they are one of the best offensive teams in the league. They also scored a super score of 168-116 when they played the Seattle SuperSonics at home on March 16 this year, setting a new single-game score in their team history. The record is also the highest score in a single game in the league this season, and the 52-point point difference almost broke the record for the largest single-game point difference created by the Lakers.
And many media have raised a common question after reviewing the game, that is defense!
"Defense wins the championship. It's not unreasonable to say that."
This sentence is most vividly reflected in the Nuggets. They have such good offensive players, and they also have a very good George Karl for communication only. They have the league's first-class offensive firepower, but they can't win even a game.
They let the Lakers score more than 120 points in each of their first three games, and it's hard to win with that.
Although they clearly have one of the league's strongest defensive insiders, averaging 3 blocks and 13.6 rebounds per game this season, and last season's Defensive Player of the Year, Camby of the All-Defensive First Team, but it still doesn't change the fact that they have no defense.
"You don't see much defense in anyone other than Camby."
ESPN's words point out the biggest problem for the Nuggets in these games. They can't limit the Lakers' scoring at all. When their scoring is limited by the Lakers, who are ranked in the top three defenses in the league, or if they lose touch, this game is the best. example of.
"What the Nuggets should do now is to give it a shot. They have been out in the first round for four consecutive seasons. If they lose, they will have to face the embarrassing situation of being swept, and it is likely to be the only one this season. The swept team." Sina Sports.
"Crisis of infighting? Anthony and Iverson Stadium mean quarrel!" Sohu Sports.
"3-0! The Lakers have won, and the sweep is just around the corner!" Tencent Sports.
...
After the game, the domestic media also followed up with reports, and they never thought that the first game to end would be this one.
Moreover, Ji Feng's performance in these three games was also recognized by everyone. After all, he didn't play like a rookie at all on the court, but like a veteran who has been in the league for many years, and the stability is scary.
After this game, the odds for the Lakers to advance also soared to nearly 100%, because from the perspective of history and team performance, it is really difficult for the Nuggets to have any hope of a comeback.
...
The camera cuts back to Iverson and Anthony who left the court early. They did not stay for the press conference, but left the arena directly. After the loss, the Nuggets' locker room had an atmosphere of ice storage. Everyone All were silent.
The contradiction between the two main players on the court is the main reason, and now there are even people whose contracts are expiring thinking about the offseason.
After all, according to the atmosphere and state of the Nuggets, there is no hope for them. The Lakers are too strong and suffocating. Now that the two main players are like this, what are they fighting for?
George Karl naturally understands all this, but there is nothing he can do. After all, it is difficult for coaches to intervene in player matters, which is why every team needs a locker room leader.
So he could barely say a few words and let the team disband.
"Karl, where Anthony..." the assistant said in George's ear.
"Let them figure it out, there's nothing we can do, right," said George Carr.
All he can do is try to perfect his tactics and do everything he can before the last game.
And Iverson, who left the arena, did not rest, but gave himself additional training. Many NBAS players do this after losing, and Iverson is no exception, although he does not like training very much.
But today's defeat undoubtedly gave him a lot of stimulation. Looking at Kobe, who was also in the 1996 generation, was in high spirits on the court, with Ji Feng and a super helper like Gasol by his side, it was impossible for him not to touch him.
After all, he knows that his peak period is getting shorter and shorter, and his chances of winning the O'Brien Cup are getting smaller and smaller.
At two o'clock in the morning, he finally hit the 500th mid-range shot, and the phone on the courtside stool suddenly rang.
He walked over to pick it up, and Anthony's voice sounded in his ears: "Hey guys, we're going to give them some color!"
