408: The Story of 58 in Those Years (5.9K Asking for Votes)

Cameron. Anthony shot 4-of-7 from three-point range and scored 30 points on nearly 60 percent shooting.

The Nuggets easily defeated the Mavericks 124-110 in Game 5, and the German tank was overturned to the ground.

With a total score of 4-1, the Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference semifinals strongly!

At the age of 25, Anthony seems to have ushered in his first peak season.

Because during the regular season, everyone's eyes were drawn to the Trail Blazers, Lakers, Green Kai, Cavaliers and Magic.

So, now a lot of people are very surprised - Anthony is so hard now?

is quite strong, after playing five games in the entire series, Guagua can average 30 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

Crucially, Agua shot 49.1 percent from the field and 44 percent from three-point range across five games.

That's a bit outrageous.

Angua is no longer iron, and the youth of countless people is over again.

The Nuggets successfully qualified, which undoubtedly made all the Nuggets players very excited.

Iverson was the only one who wasn't happy.

Because of this series, as a former MVP player, he was humiliated enough to only play in garbage time!

That's right, George. Karl abandoned AI early this season to righte Billups.

The playoffs also didn't give the AI a chance.

The most embarrassing thing is that because of him, the Nuggets have been reborn......

This Nima ......

It makes the AI want to retire now.

Last season's Nuggets, the main thing was that Guagua's AI played, and AI played. Hit, hit the melon and come again.

Billups?

Oh, it's a dribble over half the court.

Winning is the Guagua society, AI Liu beep, not nervous every day All-Star.

Once you lose, it's Billups who organizes a few.

Ke Ling's former FMVP was stunned to carry a season's black cauldron.

But this season, George. After Carl abandoned AI, the Nuggets played a system instead.

And, most crucially, Billups also brought the same defensive style that the Pistons used to be.

He inspires his teammates in the locker room in a way that neither AI nor Guagua can match.

This stunned thing is to make the Nuggets, a prodigal team, become a team with a resolute defensive temperament.

The Nuggets, who used to only attack but not defend, have ranked eighth in the league in defensive efficiency after slowing down this season.

The Nuggets proved that 1+1 can really be greater than 1+1+1.

Guagua once thought that AI was his true destiny, but who knows, his true destiny is a bald flounder!

Sure enough, you can't judge people by their appearance.

Iverson said that he was very embarrassed, and he thought that he could create brilliance by coming to the Nuggets, but who knew that he was humiliated.

The great luck in the misfortune is that the AI's contract is about to expire this summer, and he will no longer have to put up with George. Cal.

He can go to a new place and start over!

Resume......

At the age of 34, is there still a chance to start over?

The AI smiled wryly.

Time is gone.

On Portland's side, Carlisle is already preparing for the game in earnest.

And, on more than one occasion, he stressed to everyone: "The Denver Nuggets are not easy to deal with!" ”

Indeed, Wayne agrees with this.

In 09, how strong was the Nuggets without AI trouble?

It can be said in one number - 58!

That's right, the 58 tragedy in the original history was played by the Nuggets in the 09 playoffs.

It can be called a shadow of artillery.

educated the guy so much that he never mentioned the matter of the West Floor again.

At that time, when Wayne watched this game, he had a feeling in his heart: This is too special 8!

Gunner, who was sitting in the locker room, noticed Wayne staring at him and smirking, with little question marks on his face.

Did Wei Ge remember some happy thing between me and him again?

Wayne: Happy, very happy! You kid, it's a shame that you met me! Otherwise......

Carlisle's tactic is clear, which is to use Toni to defend Guagua. If you can limit Guagua, you can limit the Nuggets' offense.

As for the Nuggets' defense, which ranks seventh in the league, Carlisle believes that with the ability of Wei Shuangcang, the seventh defense in the league is a fart!

On the other side, George. Carl didn't expect anyone to contain Wayne anymore.

Wayne can't be prevented!

He decided not to look for Wayne this time, but to start with the core point guard of Paoluo!

What's the scariest thing about the Trail Blazers?

It's all three stars playing at the level!

In the first round against the Grizzlies, Wayne, Pao'er, and Sister-in-law proved that they were a terrible combination that could score an 80 points with just three people.

George. Carl didn't know what Hollins was thinking, obviously the defensive strategy of the first game of the Double Bears encircling Wayne was so successful, just because of Gasol's 29 points, he gave up this strategy, causing the entire series to collapse.

Hollins is typical of this, where ability and ambition do not match.

What he wants is to contain the Trail Blazers' big three at the same time.

But how is this possible?

I'm afraid I'm not thinking about fart.

Can you lock one of them, or the one that beeps the most, you've already succeeded!

You just encircle Wayne every game and let him Gasol play, can he still be 30+10 every game?

Gasol's ability to lead the team alone is obvious to all in Memphis, with 12 wins and 0 wins in the playoffs, and he was swept in the first round for three consecutive years, which is a fact.

So you're afraid of a hammer, you're afraid.

Can he kill you in one game, and he can kill you in every game?

Drawing on the experience of Hollins, George. Carl wouldn't have been so naïve.

As long as you can lock the pioneer alone, it will be considered a success!

And the person in his plan is Pao'er!

If you say that you have fought two games, you really can't win......

Then figure it out on Wayne.

George. Carl was never a noble man, never a gentleman.

He believed in only one truth - to do whatever it takes to win.

The miners of Denver are coming to trample the rose garden!

Both sides are still preparing intensively, waiting for the first round to be over.

The West side is very fast, the Lakers and Trail Blazers are both 4-0, and the Nuggets and Spurs are both 4-1.

Swept in the first round of this year's playoffs, DeLong . Williams was very indignant.

He averaged 20+10 data per game, and once forced Kobe Bryant to defend himself.

But the Jazz couldn't fight back, and after the opponent had already reacted to the pick-and-roll, Sloan Sr. still didn't agree to DeLong's free play.

Well, old Sloane has the same problem as Carlisle, that is, he likes to control every round.

And Delong grew up with his own ideas and was very expressive.

He wants to be like Kobe, Iverson, and Wade, showing his talent to the fullest, and wants to dunk if he doesn't agree with him.

It's like when the 08 Olympics beat China, Delong came up and wanted to detain Chairman Yao.

In the words of the fans in the future, it is the style of play that gradually turtles.

And Sloan didn't allow him to do that, first, this style of play hurt his body. Second, it's not efficient.

He just wants Delong to be a steady cold-blooded killer, occasionally killing people with his sword out of the sheath, mainly based on simple blocking and demolition.

Deron was still willing to listen to Sloan before, but this playoff loss may completely activate his rebellious spirit.

In the East, the Pacers have also passed the first round and are about to face the 65-win Cavaliers led by Mousse.

Today, the Pacers are an out-and-out powerhouse in the East.

And Green Kai and Magic will also stage a peak showdown in the Western Conference semifinals in advance.

Who will be the opponent in the finals depends on the two rounds of the series.

On May 4, Youth Day, the Western Conference semifinals officially began.

Before today's game began, Angua was almost.

Because almost everyone was talking about his 3-of-18 shooting in the final game of the regular season.

Guagua is speechless, this thing can't go over, right!?

Isn't it just a crotch pull, as for it?

Besides, I've already eliminated the Mavericks 4-1, does it matter what the final regular season game looks like?

Guagua is really about to close himself, from August 08 to the present, Guagua Dan whenever he meets a Chinese player, it will be no good thing.

The pictures of him being easily detained by space at the Olympics are still turned out from time to time and whipped from time to time.

"Don't worry about those voices, the playoffs are a new battleground and you've done a great job so far. The Trailblazers are certainly strong, but if we play according to the plan, we will definitely be able to do it! ”

Billups patted Guagua on the shoulder, then extended his fist.

Guagua smiled, suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and clashed fists with the flounder.

Billups does have the ability to inspire his teammates, and the key is that everyone is willing to believe what he says.

Because on the basketball court, Billups will always lead by example.

How well you play on the pitch, your teammates know best.

With Billups here, everyone in the Nuggets is playing very comfortably, plus they have already won the championship, can you not accept it?

After the Nuggets arrived at the Rose Garden, countless fans held up signs at the entrance of the arena with the numbers "18-3" written on them.

Well, the lethality of these numbers is comparable to 58.

In the past, Angua is going to blow up again, and in today's game, whether he enters or not, he must be wasted more than 20 times!

I have to vent this breath.

But now, with the fireplace by her side, Angua didn't panic at all.

Don't worry, I'll clean you up tonight!

Melon の self-confidence!

As the players from both sides came in to warm up, Wayne noticed that Billups was watching the cannon from time to time.

Wayne felt something was wrong.

Shouldn't you come at me?

Off the pitch, the coaches are also unusually full of gunpowder.

Carlisle goes with George. When Carl shook hands, Carl just touched Carlisle's hand disdainfully.

Rude Carl doesn't look down on a junior like Carlisle in his bones, and he thinks that Carlisle is simply lucky to coach a strong team.

In terms of ability, these young people are still young.

Carlisle smiled awkwardly before heading back to his bench.

Seeing this, the old pig who was full of skill points waved his hand and brought the old horse and the old grandson together.

"Old pig, is there a situation?"

"Well, this George. Carl, I know better than any of you. This guy is a butcher, so be careful in this series.

Also, that Deng Tai. Jones and Kenyon. Martin, it's not a good thing.

If they dare to make small moves...... Do him! ”

Sir Ba said, his fists clashing.

Marbury nodded seriously, recently he has refined his boxing skills in addition to his legs, just to prepare for the playoffs!

The Great Sage is full of small question marks, not ...... How do I join this organization?

Why is this kind of thing called me?

Also, Ba is an assistant teacher, and Ning is a teaching assistant...... Tell us this?

It's not suitable!

Barkley: Why don't you beep in your heart? Everyone is animal, and no one should pretend to be human.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Western Conference semifinals officially began.

Many people thought that there was a huge disparity in strength in this game, but in fact, Wayne never thought that he could get the Nuggets in three or two clicks.

On the Nuggets' side, the starting five Tigers are Flounder and Deng Tai. Jones, Agua, Kenyon. Martin and Waiwai. Hilario.

Flounder is the brains of the Nuggets, George. Karl's team is the kind of big brother who needs a clear head and can keep his hands in the locker room.

This was the case with Payton and Cassel under him before.

AI and George. Karl between...... It was a bad relationship.

How much has Billups been with the Nuggets this season?

First of all, at the age of 33, he can also average a career-high 19.5 points per game.

When Loops is on the floor, the Nuggets have a plus/minus of +7.8 for the entire team. And when he's not there, the team's plus/minus is just +0.9!

To put it bluntly, the Nuggets may be able to live without Anthony, but they must not be without Flounder.

Before the game began, Billups was overwhelmed with emotion as he watched Wayne, who had grown into a top superstar in the league.

I think when the Pistons and Pacers fought back, Wayne was just a little ghost.

That year, the Pacers nearly broke up the championship Pistons, making the Pistons worse year after year.

Now, at the age of 33, Billups can finally win it back!

At the start of the game, Brazilian Hilario fought for the first attack.

Billups took possession of the ball and handed it to Agua who was outside the three-point line.

In the face of Tony, Angua was not in a hurry to shoot, but stabilized the rhythm.

Soon, Anthony got the ball back to Billups!

The latter catches the ball and shoots, and when everyone thinks that Angua is the endpoint, Billups quietly borrows Kenyon. Martin's off-ball cover shook off the gun.

This season's Kenyon. Martin is no longer a player who only relies on physical fitness to brush up on data under the tutelage of Flounder.

Screens, rebounds, defenses...... Martin is willing to do anything.

Unlike in the past, Martin is the key to the Nuggets' ability to play the league's seventh-largest defense this season!

As soon as Billups made his shot, the ball went straight into the net.

3-0, the Nuggets' offense played well and very smoothly!

"Beautiful goals, Billups is very solid and this FMVP carries the team on his shoulders as always." Bill. Wharton applauded, Billups did a good job.

On CCTV's side, Yu Jia said: "Billups is too powerful!" ”

Well, in Wayne's previous life, he remembered that when he watched the series between the Nuggets and Lakers in 2009, Yu Jia said the most was "Billups is too powerful".

Because he had been saying this all over the game, Wayne remembered the voice.

Although they were the first to score, the Trail Blazers did not panic.

Pao Er regained possession of the ball, ready to return a tooth for a tooth.

As a result, Cannon discovers that it is not Billups who has come up to defend him, but Deng Tai. Jones!

DENG Tai. Jones plays a Tony in the Nuggets. Aaron's character.

He averaged 5 points per game and shot 25% from three-point range in the playoffs.

Don't say it, this offense has to fight with Mr. Tony.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is better than Tony's teacher.

Tony: Say that again.

As a member of the 03 generation, Deng Tai. Jones has been a substitute in the early seasons of his career.

But when he arrived in Denver, he became a starter.

So you say Iverson can not be angry?

The person who started in his place was actually a man who averaged 5 points per game.

The reason why Jones was able to get the starting spot at the Nuggets was because of his rough defense.

Wayne didn't think of Deng Tai either. Jones will be sent to defend the shell.

After all, Flounder's defense itself is good, and everyone thinks Deng Tai. Jones would pull out to wrap Wayne in the bag.

Who made Tony the same if he couldn't be caught off guard?

Tony:......

However, George. Carl did have a trick up his sleeve.

He didn't go to cover Wayne, he was going to target Paul completely!

It's impossible to completely defend against the Trail Blazers, and Karl's strategy is to strangle one and count one!

Billups' defense is really good, and his defense against Paul should not be bad.

But George. Carl prefers that Billups will keep his fitness on the offensive end and go directly to Jones on the defensive end.

As a result, Paul will play very both ends of the floor.

Under Jones's entanglement, the cannon was indeed very uncomfortable.

After all, that's the man who can make Kobe Bryant deflated.

Pao'er called for cover and prepared to break through, but Deng Tai. Jones' pick-and-roll defense is also top-notch.

In this way, Cannon can only choose to pass in a hurry.

However, because the pass was too urgent, the ball that was originally given to my sister-in-law was thrown out of bounds directly, and the Nuggets had the ball!

"Beautiful, the Nuggets did a fantastic job defending Chris. Paul is not a player who is prone to passing mistakes, which shows how much pressure Jones has put on the guns! ”

Wayne clapped his hands, signaling everyone to hold on and win.

Then, the Nuggets attacked again.

This time, it was still Guagua who went out to catch the ball, and Toni was preoccupied.

But for the second time in a row, the ball was hit in the hands of the flounder!

If you think Billups is just a simple organizer, you are very wrong.

In the last series, the Flounder averaged 21.6 points per game and shot 43.8% from three-point range.

This scoring performance is not inferior to Paul.

He belongs to the type of person who pretends to be dead in the regular season and explosive in the playoffs.

Seeing that the cannon was blocked by cover again, Anthony. Parker switched gears as soon as possible.

The flounder changed defenses as soon as he saw it, and he was not in a hurry, and he took two steps outside the three-point line to stabilize the rhythm.

He's going to single out Parker!

Then, he dribbled under his hip in succession, suddenly accelerating to prepare for a breakthrough.

Parker hurriedly stepped back, but Billups made a sharp stop from beyond the three-point line.

"Brush!"

After three points, Yu Jia, a repeater, exclaimed again: "Billups is too powerful!" ”

This sentence can be used until the end of the series.

Trail Blazers fans are dumbfounded, what the hell!?

A 33-year-old veteran hit two three-pointers in a row?

This ball is unreasonable!

Wayne also found himself underestimating the role of Billups, who had just hit that shot really smartly.

After seeing the change of defense, facing the tall Parker, Billups chose to use a surprise shot to deal with Parker.

Parker is not as flexible as Loops, and it is indeed difficult to react in the first place.

And Billups' ability to shoot three-pointers is a must, and when the Pistons and Pacers were in a bloody battle in the playoffs, he impressed Wayne with all kinds of life-saving three-point points.

6-0, the Nuggets' start to a surprising start.

No one thought that this team, which was abused by the Trail Blazers in the last game of the regular season, would be able to play such a strong start.

This is the playoffs!

Billups scored twice in a row with no assists.

But no one who watched the game would have thought Billups was alone.

Maybe that's the difference between him and AI.

AI is that no matter who is in front of you, no matter how many people are waiting for you, just take the ball and do it.

Billups, on the other hand, is very good at looking at the situation and making the right decisions at the right time.

Now, the Trail Blazers have to fight back. But Pao'er had just received the baseline ball, Deng Tai. Jones just posted it.

That's right, as soon as the game began, it was directly pressed against the guns!

Even the beggars on the streets of Portland knew that Paul couldn't afford to make a mistake because he was pressing all over the court, and he was still able to carry the ball across the court steadily.

DENG Tai. Jones, of course, knew that.

However, his purpose was not to force Paul to make a mistake, but to consume him and torture him from the first second of the game!

Make him tired, let him sweat, make him flutter!

Jones' confrontation is very rough, and it won't be whistled for a foul on a playoff scale.

In the end, Cannon pushed with his back to carry the ball through the half.

After that, he hurriedly handed the ball to Wayne.

Face Kenyon. Martin, Wayne triple threatened to suddenly start a breakthrough after a false shot!

However, within the three-second zone, outside the outside. Hilario suddenly burst in.

The Brazilian at his peak was very fast, and he almost made it to the All-Star this season.

Wayne saw that the passing route was also blocked, so he had to go to the basket.

Then, he was greeted with a rough throw.

"Doot toot!"

The referee blew the whistle, the Nuggets fouled, and Wayne went to the free throw line.

Wayne gritted his teeth and got up, hurting enough to smash a hard board.

Don't say it, if Wayne hadn't had a man of steel, he might have been bluffed by the Nuggets' defensive style.

After standing at the free throw line, Wayne hit the first free throw and then high-fived his teammates as usual.

When Wayne and Paul high-fived, he found that Cannon was already sweating profusely and his breathing had become rapid!

George. Carl's purpose was achieved!

"Are you alright?" Wayne asked.

"Totally O**K." Cannon nodded.

At this point, Wayne suddenly remembered......

The original history allowed the gun to only score 4 points, 6 turnovers and lose by 58 points in the whole game, not especially Billups + Deng Tai. Jones!

Everyone only remembers that the Nuggets scored 58 points, but who made him so miserable, many people are easy to ignore.

It is precisely because the Nuggets completely limited Paul that the leaderless Hornets will lose so shamefully.

Yes, this round of the series is estimated to be really difficult to play.

At least for Pao'er, it's going to be another tough series.

Wayne sighed and continued to go to the free throw line.

Today, I can only do it hard......
