Chapter 230: Stan's Wrath (First Update to ~)

The Timberwolves unexpectedly pulled back another game to take a 2-1 lead over the Dallas Mavericks, who are second in the West, a result that surprised many, but also felt the amazing resilience behind this young team.

There are many teams that will play in the regular season, and there is never a shortage of teams, but when it comes to the playoffs, it is rare for a team that can still withstand the pressure and win.

However, the Timberwolves' example of a weak victory over the strong is not the only one, and it takes four wins in the playoffs to decide the winner, so for now, the Timberwolves can only say that they have temporarily stabilized the situation, have a lead, and have more hope of qualifying.

The Dallas have a record ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves and have two home games to come, and they have a good chance of winning, and the chances of a comeback if they find a chance to advance are not out of the question.

In the Western Conference matchup, the Portland Trail Blazers faced the offensive Phoenix Suns, lost two away games in a row, and then won a desperate victory on their home court.

This season, the Portland Trail Blazers have suffered a series of injuries and a large number of injuries within the team, and they have been able to withstand the pressure and make it all the way to the playoffs because of the strong ability of the team's core Blanton Roy.

Brandon Roy has given all Trail Blazers fans confidence this season, and he can be said to have single-handedly brought the team to the playoffs, with an average of 20+4+4 data per game, although it is not as luxurious as Li Shihao's personal data, but in terms of gold content, Li Shihao is too high. The miracle created by the Portland Trail Blazers led by Roy can be said to be no worse than that of the Timberwolves, Huang Mambaroi led this half-crippled lineup, advancing step by step, and even repeatedly defeated the league's giants in the regular season, and their resilience can be said to be far stronger than that of the Timberwolves.

Li Shihao once asked himself and swapped him with Brandon Roy. Maybe he can't do what Brandon Roy did, and lead the team to the playoffs with the strength of one person, after all, the pressure of competition in the West this year is too great, and he can't make the playoffs without 50 wins.

However, near the end of the regular season, the Portland Trail Blazers revealed a piece of news. Their star player, Brandon Roy, suffered an injury with a torn meniscus in his right knee and will undergo surgery to miss four to six weeks.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

The news is no less tragic for Trail Blazers fans, and Brandon Roy, who led the team to the playoffs, did not hold up in the end, tearing the meniscus in his right knee, which is not a minor injury at all. And, without the support of Brandon Roy, what will the Portland Trail Blazers do to play against the Phoenix Suns led by two-time MVP Nash.

There was no suspense in the first two away games, and the Portland Trail Blazers were no match for the Phoenix Suns, suffering two consecutive heavy defeats in Phoenix.

Thankfully, however, they weren't on the brink yet, as the Portland Trail Blazers bounced back and led the team to a desperate win from the Phoenix Suns in Game 3. Pull one back.

At the same time, the San Antonio Spurs also recovered from the momentum of 2:0. Returned to the Texas home court to give the Los Angeles Lakers a critical blow, defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by a big score, slaughtered the Los Angeles Lakers 110-89, declared the spirit of immortality of veterans, and also pulled back a game and returned to a 2-1 situation.

No one in this alliance can underestimate the veterans!

The Denver Nuggets' experience is very similar to that of the Dallas Mavericks. They finished fourth in the West, but it looked like they were going to be beaten as well, as the Utah Jazz exploded in the playoffs, snatching a 104-112 win from the Denver Plateau and then losing 116-102 to the Denver people. Then he returned to the home court to pull back a game 117-106 again, and also completed a 2-1 lead.

The Denver Nuggets' demeanor in reaching the Western Conference Finals last year seems to be gone, and this year's morale is low, and they can't see the slightest bit of competition for a championship, and even their star Carmelo Anthony has slammed the media after the team's loss, the inaction of the team's management, and even faintly revealed that they will leave the team in the summer.

Melon Anthony's 5-year $8000W contract has not expired, so the attitude is undoubtedly to try to put pressure on the team, and at the same time let his teammates be more vigilant, but this method does not seem to be suitable, the Denver Nuggets playoffs are unfavorable, it has come to a stormy moment, as the core of the team, Melon Anthony's remarks have chilled many people's hearts, and there are even some different voices among Denver Nuggets fans.

Even the management of the Denver Nuggets even has an undercurrent pouring out, and there are some hidden rumors, "The team seems to have the idea of trading melon Anthony, just like the Philadelphia 76ers traded Iverson in the first place." ”

"Iverson won the Eastern Conference championship for the Philadelphia 76ers and led the team to the playoffs, but what did Carmelo Anthony do? Is it just the Western Conference Finals, you must know that this year he doesn't even seem to be able to break into the first round of the playoffs! ”

…………

There are not a few high-level executives in the management of the Denver Nuggets who have this idea, and they are indeed stimulated by Melon Anthony's radical remarks, after all, the Denver Nuggets have a lot of helpers for Anthony's trade, and they are indeed doing their best, so they have been accused and criticized by Melon Anthony, which is really chilling.

Just look at the Cleveland Cavaliers' reinforcements over the years, the Denver Nuggets have actually done a good job, especially the decision to trade to Chancey Billups, which brought the Denver Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals in one fell swoop, but unfortunately the Denver Nuggets seem to be facing changes again.

Melon Anthony's remarks are indeed ill-timed, perhaps he wants to emulate what Kobe Bryant did in Los Angeles two years ago, but it seems to have a different effect.

Melon Anthony didn't know that his remarks had reached the ears of team owner Stanklenk, and for the $2.6 billion sports tycoon, the Denver Nuggets were actually not too valuable, and he had three teams under his command, which combined up to only $1.3 billion, which was only half of his net worth.

But Anthony has always been the core of the team he is optimistic about supporting, but Melon Anthony disappointed him, not only did he miss the rookie of the year because he was unwilling to play in his rookie season, but the brawl that followed, and this time the external voice made the Denver Nuggets boss extremely disappointed.

Stanklenk has a lot of money, but he is very low-key, he is used to giving the team's managers more power and letting them take care of it, which is also a point he is known for, but this time, Stan gave the general manager of the team Van der Weg at home an order to be ready to trade melon Anthony, if the latter wants to move away in the summer, then trade decisively, do not leave room for it!
