The first game of the playoffs is often the one that gets the most attention in the first round. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info is not only the players, but also the fans who will be cheering for the playoffs. And the first game is often the most eye-catching. So at PepsiCenter, Nuggets fans almost had to tear down the roof of the stadium.

They're enthusiastic, and they're looking forward to seeing the Nuggets, who made it to the Western Conference Finals last year, make up for it this year. What is Durant, we have Anthony. Westbrook is nothing, we have the FMVP Chauncey Billups. Anjie Nuggets fans are not afraid, Brazilians *** 2000 No. 1 Kenyon Martin, "Birdman" Chris Anderson...... The Nuggets' set of athletic perverted interior lines is enough to make the starting center of the Western Star team drink a pot.

The Nuggets are one place ahead of the Thunder, so the young Thunder's first playoff game had to be spent with huge boos from fans at PepsiCenter. The Thunder have played so many regular season games, but no game has had such a frenetic atmosphere as the playoffs.

In addition to the fan factor, the intensity of the game itself is also unmatched by the regular season.

Whether it's physical confrontation or technical competition, whether it's the pace of the game or the intensity of the game, everything is more than one level higher than the regular season.

The Nuggets are regular visitors to the playoffs and a team that reached the Western Conference Finals last season, and they've played more intense games than that. But the Thunder are a team that has only played in the regular season, and they are obviously very uncomfortable with the sudden increase in the intensity of the playoffs.

There were two minutes left in the fourth quarter, but the Thunder were already sitting on the bench. Generally, there are only two situations in which Van Gundy will let the Thunder rest early, either because he has already won the game, or he is already powerless.

It's a pity that today, at the Pepsi Center, the reason for the rest of the Thunder Sanshao belongs to the latter.

"Twenty points Charles, you said before the game that you were more optimistic about the Thunder, but judging from the performance of this game, the Thunder team has no power to fight back against the Nuggets. Perhaps Coach Jeff Van Gundy and his team will never be able to break the curse of being eliminated in the first round. Kenny Smith was keen to see how Barkley reacted, as the result was very different from what he had predicted.

"I have to admit that the Thunder are still playing according to the regular season, while the Nuggets got into the groove very early. However, the playoffs are a best-of-seven game, and the Thunder losing the first game can be regarded as a wake-up call. The playoffs and the regular season are very different!"

With Barkley's commentary, the whistle for the end of the game sounded. 103-126, the Thunder lost the game by 23 points, and Anjie had never suffered such humiliation.

Carmelo Anthony was in a hot form of the game, scoring a game-high 42 points. And J.R. Smith, the Nuggets' sixth man for the Nerve Knife, also scored 20 points.

On the other hand, the Thunder, although Durant scored 26 points, Anjie scored 19 points, Westbrook scored 17 points, and even Morris scored 15 points. But they lost not in attack, but defensively, which they are most proud of.

After the game, Anthony frantically showed off in front of the home fans, losing the Western Conference Finals last year, and this year, the Nuggets' lineup and tactics are going to the Lakers. Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round? Sorry, you're not really our opponent yet! Win you, that's a matter of course!

The Thunder players just want to get out of this sea of winners quickly. One by one, they bowed their heads and remained silent. The playoffs, the playoffs they have been looking forward to for a long time, will be so cruel and bloody.

The pre-match ambition was high, but as soon as the game began, Anjie and the others felt a lot of discomfort. Take An Jie himself as an example, in the face of the Nuggets' set of athletic perverts and very active inside, he has a rare feeling that it is very difficult to keep up with the rhythm of the other party.

During the regular season, An Jie did not play against them, and it can even be said that An Jie won them more times. But in the playoffs, those guys were like a different person. They are more aggressive, faster and more impactful than they were in the regular season.

Van Gundy looked at the lifeless locker room and didn't know what to say for a moment. He's not a "chicken soup coach" and it's not his specialty to get the players moving. And this kind of defeat is something Van Gundy has never encountered since he took over the Thunder.

A group of young people stepped into the playoffs with confidence, only to be hit mercilessly. This kind of mood is not something that he Van Gundy can reverse in a few words.

"Bang!" Just when there was silence in the locker room, a loud noise suddenly sounded from An Jie's side.

Turning his head, An Jie's fist was against the cabinet. He gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness.

"It's all my fault, guys, it's all my fault. There's nothing wrong with it on the offensive end, it's on the defensive end. It's all my fault, I haven't adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs. An Jie began to talk to herself.

"Don't be a hero, it's me who guards with you, and if you lose, it's my share!" Morris stood up as he listened.

"Alright, your abilities are fine, it's all because I didn't bring you more experience. I'll do that before the next game. Nick Collisson, one of the Thunder's most experienced centers, also spoke.

After that, almost everyone said something about what they didn't do well enough in the game, so that not only did everyone share the responsibility for the loss, but also allowed Van Gundy to see the problems in the game more clearly. After all, no matter how good the coach is, the players have to be the ones who can feel the details of the game most intuitively.

"Okay, don't talk about it. Anthony's 42 points have the most to do with me. I didn't fulfill my responsibility as the first point of attack, and in the next game, I promise I won't let you down!"

"Do you believe me?" Van Gundy didn't speak until all the players had finished.

"We have always believed in you, and it was you who brought us to this point. An Jie was the first to answer, the most aggrieved person in the Calesimo period may be An Jie. The huge changes that Van Gundy has brought to the team after coming to the team, Anjie knows best.

"Yes, of course we believe you. ”

For a while, others also chimed in.

"Very well, believe me, you have to listen to me. Because listen to me, and I'll let you win the game! Now, I want you all to go back to the hotel and rest. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, we will gather here!" "No matter how badly the first game is lost, it is already irreversible in the past. Now, Van Gundy and the Thunder must focus on preparing for the next game.

A loss in one game is inevitable in a series. The Thunder will have to get more and more frustrated to make the playoffs end differently than they are today.

....................

Before eight o'clock the next day, the No. 2 training ground at the Pepsi Center was full of people. None of the Thunder players were late, and all arrived early, even though they had just experienced a very draining game yesterday.

Everyone on the Thunder team is full of fighting spirit, and they all want to pull one back in tomorrow's game. Although they encountered a lot of problems in the first game, it didn't matter, as long as the problems were solved one by one, wouldn't it?

When Van Gundy stepped onto the training ground, he thought he was in the wrong place.

"It's all so early, come on, let's solve the problem one by one. First of all, the pace and intensity of the playoffs, I think you already have a deep understanding!" Van Gundy looked at Anjie as he said this. When playing against the Nuggets yesterday, An Jie was the most uncomfortable person.

"In the regular season, maybe you can beat an opponent with just 70 percent power. When encountering a strong enemy, it may take 80%-90% of the effort. However, in the playoffs, as soon as you play, you have to use all 100% of your ability to fight your opponents, and you really leave no stone unturned! It doesn't matter if you're tired, how to let you rest is my problem, you don't have to share it for me. As long as you play, you will fight for me, give me a fight!" Van Gundy first wanted to let the players know what the playoffs were all about.

"Okay, now, let's talk about the problems we had during the game. Actually, as long as you do what I just said, there are very few problems. Ann and KD, if you also worked hard, Anthony would not have been able to get such a high score. And you, Westbrook, Billups is different from the opponents you've met before......" Van Gundy began to address the doubts in the players' minds one by one.

Since Game 2 of the series between the Thunder and Nuggets will start the next day, the intensity of the training scheduled by Van Gundy today is not great. Even though the players were full of energy, he only arranged a few tactical drills. This effort should not be spent on the training ground, but on the next day's competition.

"Sleep early, Maurice, Kenyon Martin won't be weak tomorrow. Back at the hotel, Anjie and Morris watched TV on the couch for a while, and then they were ready to recharge for tomorrow's game.

"I should have reminded you that you have enough time to talk on the phone every night for me to sleep several times. ”

"Okay you guy, I won't be polite to you tomorrow if you don't behave well. Anjie threw a pillow at Morris, who quickly closed the door and avoided the crisis.

An Jie smiled and walked back to his room. He pulled out the phone and called Catherine. But today, Anjie and Catherine's phone "date" lasted only five minutes. Anjie knows that he must now focus on the playoffs......

....................

The door to the "Beat, OKC!Beat, OKC......" locker room was still closed, but even so, the shouts of Nuggets fans could still be heard in the locker room of the Pepsi Center, which was originally very soundproofed.

"Do you hear me, Cameron, the fans have high hopes for us!" Kenyon Martin enjoyed the cheers of the fans, and playing in such an environment really helped the home team players burst out with more strength.

"We must not lose at home, so that the old man can recover well in the hospital. Let's go and wait for him to come back in the second round!" Anthony jumped to his feet, scoring a career-high 42 points in the last game, not to mention how excited this guy was. Therefore, for the second game of the series, Anthony also saved up a lot of energy.

"We are the Thunder, we have come all the way here, but we are not here to be a foil for the Nuggets! They are just one place higher than us, the Nuggets have nothing to fear, we will be the final winners!" Van Gundy said, pushed open the door of the locker room, and walked out first.

"1, 2, 3, Thunder!" the players shouted as they followed Van Gundy, like hungry wolves.

Van Gundy and his Thunder Warriors will step into the battlefield again. But this time, the Nuggets won't have as easy a game as they did last time.

Now the thunder is hungry, bloodthirsty, eager to fight, and even more coveted victory.

As soon as An Jie came on the court, he stared at the Nuggets players and clenched his fists. Butcher, it's not for nothing!

"Hello viewers, and welcome to ESPN's live broadcast of Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs. The second matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets is about to begin!"

The atmosphere of Pepsi Center became more and more fanatical, and An Jie's heart became hot. (To be continued.) )
