Chapter 10: The Black Eight Miracle
……
How much determination does it take to replace the pillars of the team?
The Timberwolves have not been able to make up their minds to replace Garnett, and the 76 have traded Iverson to the Nuggets this season.
Iverson has been the core of the 76ers since entering the NBA, and he has always expressed his loyalty to Philadelphia and wants to stay here.
Unfortunately, in the NBA, "loyalty" was just a fairy tale, and when the 76ers decided to start all over again, they sent Iverson to the Nuggets.
It doesn't matter whether Iverson "betrayed" the team or whether the team "betrayed" Iverson.
Importantly, the Nuggets are no longer a "combination of angels and demons", they have a "golden twin guns" with shining fangs.
Unfortunately, the owners of this inside line are NENE (the Chinese words are actually blocked, pity me half-orc), Camby, the outside line has Iverson and Anthony, and the Nuggets with JR Smith on the bench have met the naturally spicy Spurs.
The "Nuggets Double Gun" was eliminated.
Stopping with them was the Dallas Mavericks, who surprised everyone.
The league hegemon with the new MVP, after six fierce battles in the first round, actually fell at the feet of the Golden State Warriors, becoming the embarrassing background of the third "Black Eight Miracle" in history.
May Fourth Youth Day is destined to be a day that will be remembered by history.
Not only in the history of China, but also in the history of the United States, this day is also indelible.
And Li Zhi, who knew that a miracle was going to be staged, ignored the criticism of the media and brought Renault and Avril to Auckland.
The Warriors clearly didn't want to drag the battle into Game 7, and the 20,677 spectators at home cheered on the home team with deafening screams from every corner, much to the deaf feel of the Mavericks.
The tension saw Nowitzki fail to score in his first eight attempts, hitting the first shot with 38 seconds left in the second quarter, after a back-to-back three-pointer that had wasted a lot of chances.
The Mavericks trailed just 48-50 at halftime.
However, in the third quarter, the Mavericks did not keep up with the energetic Warriors, who did not score a point in the space of 5 minutes and 7 seconds, while the Warriors played an offensive climax to lead 86-63 at the end of the third quarter.
Under Jackson's frantic forward defense, the Nortians couldn't catch the ball at all, and the team didn't have the backbone to support it, and it was too reluctant to rely on the young Howard and sixth man Stackhouse.
A 24:3 attack wave sent the Maverick to hell completely.
And Nowitzki didn't have the last "Nowitzki moment" in this game. He made just 2-of-13 shooting and scored just 8 points in the game.
The fourth quarter almost became a grand celebration on the Warriors' home court, with Richardson's dunk and three-pointer more like the most beautiful fireworks in the sky over Oakland.
The night belonged to the Golden State, to Davis, to Richardson, to Jackson, to Nelson Sr. But tonight is not destined to belong to Dallas and the prospective MVP.
The Mavericks won 67 in the regular season, but in the end, it was just a basketball; Nowitzki was already a regular season MVP, but he became a laughing stock.
The victor is the prince and the loser is Kou, and Li Zhi has to mourn for Nowitzki in his heart.
In Li Zhi's view, the upset in Golden State is actually not an accident.
After a generation of "science madman" Nelson Sr. arrived in Auckland, he brought a crazy tactical concept to the rugged-looking Baron Davis to successfully unleash his wild inner self this year.
Under his orders, the Warriors and soldiers rushed like the Yellow River, and launched waves of smooth attacks like mercury in the territory of the Dallasians.
The proud Dallas were obviously unprepared for the violent fighting of the Oaklanders, and after six desperate resistances, they were still unwilling to complete the Oaklanders' Black Eight Miracles.
Although the Oaklanders lost by a large margin to the Utah Jazz in the next semi-finals.
But these "bad boys" who are not good-looking and look a little bad can still pat their chests and proudly say to their descendants in the future:
I defeated the number one man in the league that year!
"A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, this year is just right." The elder Nelson used a Chinese proverb at the post-match press conference to describe this hard-won miracle.
"Why are you at the bottom of the regular season able to play such a big game in the playoffs?" All the reporters looked at the old man with burning eyes, hoping that the old handsome man who single-handedly directed the "Black Eight Miracle" could give amazing words.
'We have the most passionate fans, we have a united team, and they are the ones who give us the confidence to win. The elder Nelson first made an official remark, and the reporters in the audience looked disappointed.
"However, there is one person who makes me more determined to play in the playoffs, and that's one of the reasons." This time, the old marshal gave amazing words.
"Is it D'Antoni?" A reporter asked, and many reporters agreed.
D'Antoni's Suns have played beautiful basketball this season and have been unanimously embraced by fans across the league. Even non-Suns fans are keen to watch the Suns play.
"No, he's not in the NBA yet, but his style of play inspires me. There is also defense in the shelling. The elder Nelson gave half of the answer, leaving it to the infinite reverie of the reporters present.
But no matter how much he tried to ask about it, Nelson Sr. didn't say that name in the end.
It's not that Nelson doesn't say it, it's that he's really afraid, he's afraid that after saying that name, other teams will cut off their beards in the draft.
Nelson Sr. and his Warriors were relaxed, but the fans were crazy.
They witnessed the rare "Black Eight Miracle", and everyone searched for the mysterious person in Nelson's mouth on the Internet.
The strength of the masses of the people is great, and the principles of socialism are equally valid in capitalist countries.
Although Nelson did not name the man, Nelson showed the way for their conjecture.
First of all, this person is not logged into the NBA, then this person can only be two kinds of people. One is a superplayer with experience in the professional league, and the other is a talented rookie.
At the same time, this person has to have the kind of "tactical position" that Nielsen calls a big strategy?
Defensive counter-attacks and quick threes.
Finally, under the search of the majority of football emperors, they cited two rookies who are about to log in to the NBA.
The first one, Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian is from the mysterious China in the East, is 2.13 meters tall and weighs 116 meters, and has excellent projection skills and rich professional experience.
There are even scouts who are so easy to build a union: "He is a yellow-skinned Nowitzki, and Garnett is a poor man's version of Yi Jianlian." ”
Regardless of the scout's intentions, the UAE's popularity in the United States has indeed been in the limelight for a while.
At this time, online experts also predicted that the NBA will move towards the era of small ball in the future, and the Nielsen tactics of three-point plus defense will also be able to succeed.
The center position will be replaced by a player who has three points, can grab rebounds, and provides space.
And all this points to Yi Jianlian, a space forward who has high hopes.
