Chapter 253: Two to One

A nurse was pushing a treatment cart to a single ward, and heard from a colleague that the old man who lived in the ward was a basketball coach with a particularly strange temper. A few days ago, www.biquge.info I lost my temper in the ward because the team I coached lost.

Walking to the door of the ward, the nurse became nervous. This short-tempered patient is the object of the greatest fear of all young nurses.

"Nothing to be afraid of Cady, he's just a patient!" After taking a deep breath, the nurse pushed open the door to the room.

In the hospital room, the television was turned on, and the voice of the narrator and the noise of the auditorium could be heard inside. Cady didn't like the sound because her father was a football fan, so every day when she came home, she had to endure the same noise coming from the TV.

An old man with gray hair was sitting on a stool, and he was supposed to be on bed rest, but he insisted on sitting in front of the television to watch the game.

Hearing someone walk in, the old man turned his head. However, to Kaidi's surprise, this old man, who was "vicious" in the mouth of his colleagues, smiled at her kindly and kindly, and nodded.

"Uh...... Is it Mr. George Carr from Ward 25?" Cady quickly checked the identity of the other party, could it be that he had gone to the wrong ward?

"It's me, another infusion?" George Carr looked at the treatment cart, and there were two or three more bottles of potion on it.

"Yes, sir, could you please lie back in bed......"

"Shhhhhh......h

Cady looked at the TV in bewilderment, and on the screen, it seemed that the introduction ceremony of the players was being done. But when the players in the sky-blue jerseys took the stage, they were greeted with an overwhelming boo.

Especially after a player with a baby face named Anthony came out, the whole boo was so loud that it went straight to the top.

"Hey, okay go ahead miss, I just want to see my players' performances. By the way, I'm just sitting on the infusion, I don't want to lie in bed and watch this game. George Carr's tone remained gentle. Now that the game hasn't started yet, he certainly has no reason to be angry.

"Your players, you're the head coach of an NBA team?" asked Caddy incredulously as he prepared supplies for George Karl.

"Hahaha, of course, it's just that I didn't have a good career and lost a lot, so I was a little bit grumpy. "As a 1,000-win coach, only someone like Caddy, who doesn't pay attention to basketball at all, would believe George Carr's nonsense.

"No matter how bad your grades are, you have to put your health first. This illness of yours has nothing to do with your usual yelling on the court. Seeing that George Carr was actually very easy-going, Cady also chatted with him without a word.

"I'll take your advice to me, okay?" Seeing that Cady skillfully inserted the needle, George Carr looked at the little girl.

"As long as you don't move, it's going to be okay forever. ”

"Thank you, girl, the game is about to start. I think when the game starts, I'll be the evil old man you call me. So if you can, please leave me alone for a while. Carl didn't really want to lose his temper with the innocent nurses, but that's his character. The game was emotionally stirring for him, and would a man who dared to yell at Ray Allen and Anthony control his temper for the sake of a few nurses?

Cady pushed the cart out of the room and looked at the attentive George Carr, who shook her head in confusion. Basketball, really has such a great magic power, can it even make a person's temperament change greatly?

The answer is yes, not only George Carr, but also the gentle Anjie who is on the field will become irritable and bloodthirsty once he is on the field.

"Nene turned his hand and hooked his hand, and Ann's defensive height was amazing! Sure enough, the Brazilian couldn't hit the hook under such interference! Today, the Nuggets' interior players didn't score anything on Anjie. Although the game has only been played for a few rounds, we can all see that the Thunder are desperately defending, while the Nuggets are crazy on offense. But as things stand, the Nuggets' offense is superior!"

Although Nene missed the shot, although Kenyon Martin's air-cut layup was also missed by Anjie's interference. But at the moment, the Nuggets are still leading by three points. It was none other than Carmelo Antony, who lost the last game.

Although the team is now leading the score, Anthony feels that it is very difficult to maintain this slight advantage. You know, this is the first quarter of the game. In the first quarter alone, the Thunder's defense made him feel very weak.

"Damn it, where did Presti get that guy in the first place!" says Carr believes his interior team can play against Gasol and Bynum, a lineup that's meant to be against the Lakers. But now this Anjie has brought the Nuggets' interior offense to a standstill. If it weren't for Anthony and Billups, the Nuggets wouldn't have been able to sit on the lead.

George Karl can watch the problems on the pitch in times of peace, but Adrian Dantley, his assistant coach, doesn't necessarily see that.

Now that the Nuggets are leading and still holding the Thunder down, Dantley feels his tactics are working. Nene and Martin missed a couple of misses, but they didn't hurt at all.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led 27-21 on the road. This strengthened Dantley's belief that the temporary victory made him ignore the team's problems, but in Van Gundy's opinion, the hole will only get bigger and bigger.

"Let's, go, thunder!let's, go, thunder!" was shouted by the Thunder fans, and the second quarter of the game quickly began.

Today, the Chesapeake Energy Arena is completely transformed into a sea of blue. 80% of the fans at the scene stood in the audience wearing the Thunder's blue short sleeves to cheer on the Thunder.

This kind of formation, Anjie and Durant and others have never seen before. With the support of these people, the Thunder players are even more motivated.

Here's why the opportunity to play at home in the playoffs is especially precious. At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the psychology of the Thunder players has always been dominant!

Under this deafening cheer, in this frenzied blue sea, An Jie jumped high, and flew the racket between the hands of "Birdman" Anderson, and fanned Anderson's bound hands out of the restricted area.

"Second block!Ann put all his energy on the defensive end today, and the Nuggets' interior offense was completely strangled by Ann!Is he going to keep up with Ibaka's pace and come up with an exaggerated block count!?" Ibaka delivered a career-high seven blocks in the last game, which made the Nuggets' interior players difficult to let go, and today, Anjie also continued their nightmare with a tough and positive performance.

At this time, Anthony's offensive efficiency was still maintained, but the efficiency of Billups and others began to decline. Without the support of interior players, the Nuggets' offense has actually gotten bogged down.

"Let Nene pull Allah out!" roared George Carr alone into the TV screen, but unfortunately Dantley couldn't hear him.

4 points, 2 points, tied and the Thunder overtook 3 points, 5 points......

Dantley watched as the Thunder pressed the score close with his sloppy defense until they took the lead. But in his opinion, there was no problem with Billups and Anthony's offense at all. What he didn't see was that the offense of Nene, Anderson and Martin could already be described as miserable.

Nene, in particular, offense should have been the Brazilian's specialty. But under Anjie's defense, the game has been played for so long, and Nene has only scored one goal.

ESPN, after seeing Anjie's interesting stats, also took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to attach it to the bottom of the screen.

2 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals, this statistic reflects Van Gundy's defensive strategy in every detail, while Dantley is still immersed in Anthony's not low shooting percentage and scoring.

Once Anthony and Billups couldn't score, the Nuggets' offense came to a standstill. Because the other Nuggets players other than these two have been completely prevented from death. Van Gundy was waiting for this moment, for the moment when Anthony and Billups couldn't do it.

Towards the end of the second quarter, Dantley also hoped that J.R. Smith and Ty Lawson could lead the team's second team to recover the slump, but the defense of Serge Ibaka and Livingston made their performances dull.

At 52-48, the Nuggets went from leading by four points to trailing by four points. Although the difference is not large, the change is huge.

If it were George Carr who was facing Van Gundy on the pitch at the moment, Van Gundy would really have to scratch his head. But unfortunately, now the Nuggets can only rely on Dantley's arrangement to play the half, and Van Gundy has completely eaten Dantley.

In the third quarter, Anthony was able to continue to score. But everyone else, except for him, lost their effect under the high-intensity defense.

Van Gundy's strategy of sending Seflorosa to defend Billups paid off clearly. The Nuggets' only remaining backcourt double guns on the offensive end have now been withdrawn, and the Nuggets, who were already unfavorable in offense, are now even more small in offensive firepower.

At this time, it was time to open the score! Van Gundy waved his hand, and the Thunder players, who had held back for half the court, went crazy around the Nuggets' basket and attacked wildly. The Thunder's sudden outburst was something Dantley didn't expect.

The offense failed to open, and now the already useless defense has been pierced. After two quarters of defense, An Jie finally started killing in the third quarter.

With Westbrook's cooperation, Anjie completed a variety of wonderful goals. Inside dunks, aerial relays, you name it.

And An Jie's own singles in the low position also gained a lot. On the offensive end, he alone suppressed the Nuggets' seemingly menacing interior combination.

Playing to the back, the Nuggets' interior line really has no choice but to foul An Jie. Nene and Martin are among the top players in the league in foul count, and Anjie was expected to get so many free throws.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets, who were originally playing the banner of offense, were beaten by the Thunder's sudden strength and couldn't find the north. 70-84, George Carr pulled the needle out of his hand and broke the chair he was sitting on in a fit of rage. It is simply unacceptable for his own team to play like this.

By the fourth quarter, the demoralized Nuggets could no longer organize an effective comeback. Anthony's attack is still dangerous, but unfortunately the others are almost as if they have disappeared.

Finally, in the blue ocean of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 105-93 at home, and at home, ushered in a good start!

The Van Gundy-led Thunder came from behind to overtake the overall score. And the Nuggets' performance in this game was even worse than the previous game.

Dantley has completely lost his way, and so have the Nuggets players.

Reaching the Western Conference Finals last season was just last season's performance. This season, you should think more about how to get past the first round!
