"Your so-called maturity is nothing more than being smoothed out by life."

This is a quote that has been quoted by many people.

It comes from the allusion that when a stone is on the river, it is angular, but if you throw it into the river, it will slowly be washed away by the river and lose its edges and become round and smooth.

From this change in James, it can be felt that he is going through such a stage now.

Of course, this is a stage that a lot of NBA players go through.

As for whether James will still become like in history in the end, or become the final dragon slayer warrior as Sun Hao expects, maybe only time will give the answer.

For Chinese fans, the desperate situation of 0-3 is very similar to the pronunciation of the Nuggets' team name.

Many things may be predestined!

Ahead of Game 4, the Nuggets changed their style and practice sessions were not open to the media!

So what the Nuggets have prepared, the outside world does not know.

This also made the media and fans look forward to the Nuggets' Game 4 game.

After all, James is the chosen one, and even against a strong opponent like the Lakers, he should win at least one game.

Well, as James himself said, Iverson the Wild Elephant did what he did in the Finals against the pinnacle "OK Combo".

In the midst of this anticipation from fans, Game 4 of the Lakers and Nuggets series continues to kick off at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

After the opening ceremony, when the players were ready to take the stage, the on-site photographer gave a close-up of James.

In the last game, James's magnesium powder still caused a lot of fans to discuss, but because it was the first time, many fans didn't see it.

So in this scene, the on-site photographer took the initiative to capture it.

James, I did it again!

To be honest, although he lost the last game, his performance is still a lot better than the previous two games.

People don't have to be superstitious, but most people's attitude towards this is that it's better to believe it than to believe it!

So James continued the action.

This scene was also projected on the large LED screen at the scene this time.

When he sprinkled the magnesium powder into the air, the scene erupted in cheers.

Don't say it, this action actually looks quite domineering.

If he can really take back the "Little Emperor" from Sun Hao, it will definitely be a good match!

James felt the cheers of the fans, and slapped his hands harder than before.

He feels full of energy and will definitely help the team win this game today!

That's what James thinks, and so do the fans.

Including the opening of the Nuggets, they also played as beautifully as the last game.

But while fighting, the Nuggets' firepower can't keep up.

Terry scored 26 points in the last game, and it can be said that he feels quite hot.

But this time, his hand felt obviously colder.

And this time it was cold, and the Nuggets' outside offensive firepower dropped a lot.

Although James carried the explosive bag and hit the inside again and again, O'Neal was in charge, reducing the damage by 75% per round, and James couldn't rush at all!

It's not the same as Game 3, but like the first two games of the series, the Nuggets have essentially lost their chances in the third quarter.

Before the end of the game, James was already sitting on the bench with the other main players.

He bit his nails and looked up at the score from time to time, his eyes revealing indescribable confusion.

Or at this moment, he was thinking that in order to win in the NBA, the strength of one person is far from enough.

Or maybe he's thinking about how to make himself stronger.

But what exactly he was thinking, no one knows.

After garbage time, the score was fixed at 73-103, and the Nuggets suffered a 30-point rout.

0-3 desperately, the first half has been pulled away again, and the Nuggets have been defeated in the end.

Despite knowing the difference in strength, the fans at the scene could not hide their disappointment.

Looking back at the entire series, Game 3 turned out to be the best game they played.

However, jumping out of the two teams of Nuggets and Lakers, fans of other teams feel more after watching the game: This Lakers team is very strong, so strong, unbeatably strong!

O'Neal became a "playoff shark" in the playoffs, and Sun Hao still showed his FMVP strength, even better than back then.

The rest of Christie, Malone, Finley, including Damon Jones, Span Nollis, Anderson and others on the bench, also played a lot more than their salaries.

After watching the first round of the series, many fans have the feeling of reading Su Qun's article: If the Lakers don't win the championship, they are playing abnormally!

In the post-game press conference, the Nuggets only had James and Karl in attendance.

Compared with the previous three, the atmosphere of this press conference was the most silent.

A 30-point defeat, a 0-4 score, and a season that ended hastily.

Such an ending makes people unable to see the present, let alone the future.

I don't know what big changes the Nuggets will have next season.

When James was asked about the season review, he was silent for a while.

Finally, he took a deep breath.

"If it was an exam, we scored 0."

Zhan Poet is online again.

Although the ending was not good, the season is over, and the pressure on that body is much less.

At such times, it is easy for people to return to a depressed state.

"Where do you think the team will go next season?"

The reporter then asked.

It's a seemingly ordinary question, but depending on who is asking it, if it's a player, it can become a little sensitive.

'I don't know, it's something Van de Werch is going to think about, I'm only in charge of playing.

However, James's double quotient is still very high.

Many people in history have hacked James for interfering with management, but in fact, if you look closely at this matter, you will find that you can't find any evidence.

Maybe those things do exist, and fans can guess it, but they just can't find direct evidence.

This is the embodiment of double business.

"So will you recruit other players to play in Denver?"

The reporter then asked.

Next summer, there are still a lot of high-quality role players, such as Antoine Walker, Tyson Chandler, and Mutombo, which are more suitable for the Nuggets.

Of course, if James has the ability to recruit Ray Allen, who is out of contract, to the Nuggets, the combination of the two is exciting.

"I'm just a first-year player, I don't think I have that ability."

James, however, still avoided the pit.

"So what would you do? This team has proven to be a failure and it needs to make changes. ”

The reporter is unrelenting, and always wants to get something useful out of his mouth.

"No, I don't agree with what you said."

James directly retorted to the reporter.

'We've failed this season, but not our team, my team-mates and I will train hard this summer to make ourselves strong and we'll be a stronger team next season.'

When he bit his nails on the bench before, no one knew what he thought.

But now, there is an answer.

He chose the second path, he wants to become stronger, he wants to become a stronger dragon slayer!

If Sun Hao was at the press conference at this time, he would definitely be a little moved when he heard this sentence.

What he had thought before was really for James' good.

The children of poor families are in charge of the family early, because they suffer setbacks and blows earlier, and that is what makes people grow.

James, this is obviously growing!

It would be interesting if James became the Nowitzki of this world, as he expected!

Well, in fact, Sun Hao has been waiting for James in the players' tunnel.

He knew James was going to be in a low mood tonight.

When James came out and saw that James was still waiting for him, his eyes were full of surprise.

Sun Hao went up with a smile, gave him a hug first, and then touched James's head with a smile to encourage him.

"Stay faithful because the future is yours."

James was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was indescribably moved.

Although he played a series as an opponent, although he has always made it his goal to defeat Sun Hao, Sun Hao has actually been encouraging him.

He said that he was not the next one, but Sun Hao has actually been the target of his chasing!

……

The series between the Nuggets and Lakers is over, and the rest of the first round is coming to fruition.

On the western side, the most interesting game is naturally the game between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves.

After losing the first game, the Mavericks beat the Timberwolves 3-0, directly making the big score 3-1.

This is actually expected, the overall strength of the Mavericks is much stronger than that of the Timberwolves.

Poor wolf king, who only experienced the feeling of breaking the first round of the playoffs last year, is going to be blocked out of the door again today.

Another equally interesting set of Spurs-Suns matches.

After the two teams played four offensive battles, the Spurs also led 3-1.

The potential of this Spurs team has been unleashed unlimitedly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest in history.

These three groups on the western side are expected, but the remaining superSonics and kings are somewhat unexpected.

They also only stole one victory under the hands of the supersonics, and the big score was 1-3 down!

You must know that the SuperSonics are in the playoffs for the first time in many years, and this is the best chance for the Kings to advance.

But as the first game showed, the Kings have lost so much since the trade that they are out of contention for a championship.

And it is foreseeable that Adelman's Princeton will most likely disappear from Sacramento after the season!

On the Eastern side, a bit like the Lakers, the Wizards also swept the Magic 4-0!

Yao Ming showed his strength as the league's second center, averaging 29.5 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game against Howard!

Howard, on the other side, averaged 10.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game......

This data comparison can only be described as miserable.

Not to mention the fans of other teams, even the Magic fans completely stopped after the series.

They themselves were embarrassed by this performance.

Another group that has attracted much attention is the 76ers, who also upset in the first game.

However, like the West, the 76ers are also 1-3 behind in the face of the overall strength gap.

After the first game, Brown said "He's still the same him", giving fans infinite memories of the AI in the 2000 Finals.

Then, I don't know if it's a curse, Iverson's performance and resolution in this round of the series will be repeated in 2000!

In the remaining two groups, the Pacers led the Heat 3-1, and the Celtics swept the Nets 4-0!

The fans watched the excitement before the game, and it was analyzed that there would be suspense in many groups, especially after two consecutive upsets the next day.

But after the game, the fans found out, not to mention the upset, there was not even a big score of 2 to 2, it was all a one-sided game!

Sure enough, you can't just look at the beginning!

Two days later, there were no more surprises, and the first round of the East and West was over.

The Mavericks eliminated the Timberwolves 4-1, the Spurs beat the Suns 4-1, and the SuperSonics eliminated the Kings 4-1.

The Pacers also sent the Heat 4-1 to fish, and the Pistons 4-1 gave Iverson and 76ers fans a relive of the 2000 Finals.

In this way, the opponent of the divisional semi-finals is also determined.

On the eastern side, the Wizards vs. the Celtics, two pairs of old enemies;

The Pacers vs. the Pistons, with the Palace of Auburn Hills in front of them, this is already exciting just by looking at the matchup!

On the western side, the Mavericks vs. the SuperSonics, although they unexpectedly overturned in the first game of the playoffs, the Mavericks made great efforts to suppress the Spurs in the regular season and drew a lottery for themselves;

Lakers vs. Spurs!

If you want to find the most anticipated and interesting matchup for the divisional semi-finals, it must be this group!

The freshly baked boy group "GDP" against Sun Hao and O'Neal's Lakers!

It's not just Mars hitting the Earth, it's a galaxy within the Milky Way!

Even in this round of matchups, there are already fans scolding the league's new regional system.

Because they made the team that should have appeared on the stage of the Western Conference Finals meet in the semifinals in advance!

However, most fans still didn't say anything, because there are three strongest teams in the West this season.

No matter how you arrange it, there will be two teams that meet in the semifinals early, either the Lakers and Spurs, or the Lakers and Mavericks.

There are two days left until the start of the divisional finals.

It was also at this time that the league announced the second batch of awards for the season: Best Defensive Player and Best Rookie.

The best defensive player ended up going to Ben Wallace! He beat Bowen by 10 percent more votes to win the award for the third time in his career.

Interestingly, he had a chance to complete the feat of four consecutive DPOY, but was cut off by Artest, who had fought with him in the ring last year.

This, the words of American fans, can't help but shout "Destiny".

Rookie of the Year is a little different from history.

Okafor, who had been playing more games with the Hornets in his history, won the award with more beautiful statistics.

But now, Howard has suppressed Okafor in terms of record and statistics, and in the end, he was also selected as the best rookie with more than 20% of the vote.

It's just that the mood of "Warcraft" is obviously not too good.

He was just beaten by Yao Ming, and he doubted life even more than James at this time.

was also swept away, and James' data comparison was still acceptable, and he ...... Let's move on to the next topic.

According to Howard's friends, "Warcraft" is already thinking about whether he is suitable for playing center and whether he should transform into a power forward!

Well, there have been two people in history who have "only Howard can replace James" stalks, and they are both experiencing the feeling of "this is life".

Perhaps, someone should give them a fishing rod, and the two of them can sit all day.
