On April 23rd, many Chinese fans sat down in front of the TV early, because today is the first game of the Supersonic playoffs, and this year's Chinese fans are happy and miserable, because this year's teams of Lu Fei and Yao Ming have entered the playoffs, fortunately, the NBA also intends to cross the games of the two teams, so that CCTV can easily broadcast them, but in this way, fans will have no days off, and whether they can go to work with peace of mind during this time is a question.

In addition, today's game is a "rival" battle between Lu Fei and Carmelo Anthony, which has been hyped up these days, so it is even more attention-grabbing.

Lu Fei and Gu Tang came to the stadium early, some time ago, because of the endorsement of the training camp, Lu Fei and Scarlett Johansson were depicted in colorful colors, and now Lu Fei and Gu Tang appeared in the stadium arm in arm.

Lu Fei even suspected that Durant's purpose in signing up for the training camp was to come for Scarlett Johansson...... Maybe there is the idea of going head-to-head with Lu Fei.

Let's teach him how to be a man when the time comes.

Gu Tang entered the stadium and sat in the audience, and the fans around her greeted her warmly, and Gu Tang always responded with a smile.

Lu Fei looked up and saw Gu Tang, Gu Tang's face did not have the slightest impatience, he kept wearing a warm smile, and his heart couldn't help but feel soft, Gu Tang has been changing, from a little girl who doesn't like basketball, slowly growing into what she is now.

"Lu, are you ready to accept my challenge?"

Lu Fei suddenly heard a familiar voice, and he didn't have to look back, he knew it was Carmelo Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony was wearing an away light green jersey and standing behind Lu Fei with a basketball in his hand, Lu Fei turned around and said with a smile: "I'm ready, but looking at your appearance, you may not be mentally prepared to accept losing." ”

"You think you've won?"

"Do you need me to tell you how low the probability of Black Eight is?"

“……”

Black Eight is often followed by another word, called miracle, Black Eight miracle!

Beginning in 1984, the NBA playoffs began to take on the current format of matchups, with the top eight teams from the East and West entering the playoffs, and the regular season record ranking determines the matchup, with first vs. eighth, second vs. seventh, third vs. sixth, and fourth vs. fifth.

Since there is a considerable gap in strength between the first-ranked team and the eighth-ranked team, the eighth beating the first can be considered a miracle, called the "Black Eight Miracle".

Since 1984, there have only been two Black Eight Miracles in the playoff matchup between first and eighth in the playoffs, and all of them have been in the best-of-five playoff games before '02.

"I forgot about the Black Eight when you didn't say it, one of the two Black Eight miracles was the supersonic speed of the Nuggets Black, I think history will always repeat itself, isn't it?" Anthony suddenly remembered what he had seen on the news two days ago.

In the 1993-94 season, the SuperSonics, ranked first in the West, played against the Nuggets who ranked eighth, and after winning two games in Seattle, the SuperSonics were won by the Nuggets three times in a row, creating the first "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history. In the fifth game of life and death, Uncle Mu fell to the ground after snatching the last ball, looking up to the sky and roaring, this scene has become an eternal classic picture of the NBA together with the "Black Eight Miracle".

Lu Fei smiled faintly: "It's because it happened once, so we will never let this happen again, after four games, I will end this round of the series in Denver, so are you satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied ghost!"

Anthony pursed his lips and decided not to fight with Lu Fei anymore, because he couldn't beat him.

People always have to be responsible for their boasts, so Lu Fei was very active from the beginning, frequently using jump shots to score, and the supersonic also confirmed the lead from the beginning, and the home atmosphere was extremely warm, and the shouts like a festival shook the entire stadium.

Lu Fei and Carmelo Anthony are in different positions, and it is generally impossible to directly [hot-blooded] the opposite position, but because the media has hyped up the fateful duel between Carmelo Anthony and Lu Fei during this time, Anthony has become a complete villain in the eyes of supersonic fans, as long as Anthony gets the ball, he will immediately send boos, which makes Anthony's face darker and darker.

However, for a top scorer like Anthony, the more others booed him, the more he had to prove it to others and use the score to gag others.

Hit the basket and force a layup.

Defended by Sean Battier, he cut inside from the left and then shot after a jump...... Sure enough, it was an offensive kaleidoscope, but unfortunately, it didn't go in.

Rasheed Wallace jammed Kenyon Martin with his body, and was about to pick up the rebound when he saw Anthony take a second jump to pull the ball over with his left hand, then jump again and dunk the ball with his right hand, causing a foul on Battier.

Battier raised his hand helplessly, "It's not that I don't work hard to defend, I can't help it when I get to that position." ”

McMillan immediately called a timeout, and while the team still held the lead so far in the first quarter, it would be a problem sooner or later if Carmelo Anthony's defensive problems were not resolved.

The team has always relied on Battier's defense at the small forward position, but Battier is actually better at defending the number two position, and he will suffer a little bit against the number three position, especially the top three offensive players.

In the past, the league did not pay much attention to the development of small forwards, and the league's excellent players in recent years were either point guards or centers, but with the rise of James and Anthony, more and more teams have discovered the benefits of small forwards.

Similarly, defending small forwards has become a problem.

"Lu, you come down and rest first, Ray, you are responsible for organizing the attack, Brandon you play the second position, Sean rests, Boris you go up to defend Anthony, pay attention to your height to follow his footsteps...... On the offensive end, you helped Ray organize the offense as the axis, did you have a problem? ”

"No problem."

Dior said excitedly, returning to the court with the heavy responsibility of McMillan, his pace is not much slower than Anthony, and he does not suffer in height and weight, plus he often adapts to the confrontation on the inside, so he is not scared at all in terms of confrontation, and he has been holding Anthony there, which makes Anthony very depressed.

As long as he gets into the defensive end, Dio doesn't have a, and follows Anthony without leaving half a step.

"You're as annoying as a fart!"

"Do you think I want to follow you, don't you know how much sweat smells on your body? Hey, I really can't take it anymore. ”

“……”

Anthony was silent for a while, then said to Andre Miller: "Give me the ball!" ”

Everyone has to admit that McMillan arranged Dio to defend Anthony and became the wonder man of this game, not only did not let the Nuggets catch up with the score when Lu Fei was off, but also faintly continued to pull away.

Miller glanced at it, Dior pegged Anthony like an octopus, I want to give you the ball, the key is that I can't give it......

Why don't you come up and get it?
