Every win in the playoffs represents a step closer to the Finals. So no team will give up a game where they can go for a win, and the Nuggets are no different.

And the honor of the championship also attracts every player, where they take firm steps and keep moving forward. So after Leylin went off, the game was still fierce.

Especially Iverson, who has passed his prime, is still doing his best in the game. Iverson, who has tasted defeat in the finals, will certainly not give up any chance to enter the finals.

Joining the Nuggets allowed him to see the years of getting rid of that kind of solitary game, but he didn't expect that in his first season with the Nuggets, he still couldn't get rid of the years of playing alone. A brawl directly suspended most of their team's main players, and this ban also directly deprived the team of a chance to run in.

Although he advanced to the playoffs, he was eliminated by the Spurs in the first round. And this season, the Nuggets, who have a full lineup, are once again attacking for the championship, but the results are worrying. In the regular season, 82 games were played, and only 50 wins were won before stepping into the playoffs.

The muddy defense surprised many people who were looking forward to the Nuggets dynasty. So not many people are optimistic about the Nuggets before the playoffs begin, especially after Martin's injury, and the future of the Nuggets is even more uncertain.

But Iverson wasn't going to give in.

What's more, there are nearly seven minutes left in the game, and the score is only 12 points behind.

Why competitive sports, especially basketball and football, are so appealing.

It's not about how intense a game is, it's more about because as long as the final whistle doesn't blow, anything can happen.

Iverson strode through the half-court with the ball, and after observing the situation at the top of the arc, he beckoned and directly called Camby to come up and make a block.

Although he was able to get rid of anyone on the outside of the Rockets with his skills, after more than half an hour of high-intensity play, Iverson didn't want to waste his energy needlessly.

After getting rid of Hyde with Camby's cover, Iverson went straight to the basket from the top of the arc.

"Defend!"

After seeing Iverson shake off Hyde, there was a burst of shouts in the stadium.

Fans who are familiar with Iverson know that Iverson is unstoppable when he runs.

So when he saw Iverson rushing towards the basket, he immediately shouted loudly.

Of course, as a player, you know Iverson's characteristics better, and after Iverson shook off Hyde, Landry immediately blocked Iverson's path with a sideways.

But that didn't stop Iverson from moving forward.

A flashy turn that shook off Landry straight and a pull-up layup ended the fight.

Under the infection of Iverson's indomitable fighting spirit, the Nuggets played a wave of 10-0 small ** in four minutes, directly rewriting the score to 79-77, only two points behind.

"I thought the Rockets would be able to win easily, but now it seems that this game is still full of suspense!"

"Yes, this is the playoffs, you can't take it lightly at any time, and if the Rockets lose this one home game, it will be even more detrimental to their next games. I don't think Rick should have made such a mistake! ”

"It doesn't seem like he will make such a mistake, so it's up to him how he adjusts in the last three minutes!"

Unlike the excited looks of the Nuggets players, the Rockets players returned to the courtline with solemn faces.

In the playoffs, home advantage is even more pronounced, which is why every team is there desperately in pursuit of victory during the regular season.

So if you lose this game, then it is definitely not a good sign for the Rockets.

"Defend the joint defense, 212 joint defense, thunder."

Hearing the head coach's shout, Lei Lin quickly held his breath and listened carefully with his ears pricked up, for fear of missing any detail.

"You are the commander of the team's defensive system, pay attention to the complement of the two flanks......"

As he spoke, Adelman kept drawing on the tactical board, straight lines, curves and arcs, turning into tactical instructions and passing them into the minds of every player.

After the tactical adjustments, the game resumed.

The Rockets replaced their bench players and replaced them with their main players.

"Hi brothers, victory, we said that we want to win, and we want to create a big scene! Come on, brothers! ”

"Come on!"

After shouting, Leylin followed his teammates onto the court, and the victory in the first game of the playoffs depended on the last three minutes.

Once back on the pitch, the game began again shortly after.

Maddy took possession of the Rockets straight away, and after making a gesture at halftime, he handed the ball to Bobby Jackson, and the rest of the Rockets players quickly started running.

Maddie picked up Leylin's cover from the top of the arc and ran to the basket before running back to the bottom corner of the weak side. Then Bobby Jackson made a direct diagonal pass, took the basketball Maddy outside the three-point line, and shot the ball after receiving it.

"Huh!"

“Threepoints……”

The noisy stadium immediately burst into the shouts of DJs.

After hitting the three-pointer, Maddie made a three-point gesture with her hands spread out in the air. Although his eyes were still worried, there was a sharp light shining inside.

The aura of a second-round virgin will not be comfortable for anyone to bear. Maddy, an All-Star and scoring champion, doesn't want to hold on to this nasty title, and this season is the best chance to break that debut.

The Nuggets' roster, while seemingly strong, has been tested for two seasons, and the Nuggets' chemistry has proven to be not good.

"Joint defense! Ah, I didn't expect Rick to use joint defense in order to win. ”

After looking at the position of the Rockets players, Kenny Smith could see the Rockets' defense at a glance.

The 212 joint defense is very demanding for the players, the players' positions divide the half into four pieces, and any offensive player may be defended by three players, and the most critical point is the link in the middle, that is, Leylin.

In fact, there is still a certain risk for Adelman to line up such a defensive lineup, that is, whether Reelin can be qualified for this position. As a rookie, although Leylin's individual defensive ability is commendable, the joint defense requires more team awareness and tactical literacy of the players.

As a veteran player in the NBA, Iverson certainly knows the key to the Rockets' defensive lineup, so he drove the ball directly to Raillin.

Seeing Iverson rush towards him with the ball, Leylin immediately tensed his nerves.

At the same time, the other two players were immediately called on and ready to help defend at all times.

Facing Leylin, Iverson gave a contemptuous smile, then his right shoulder sank, and he was ready to rush past Leylin's side with a single step.

Leylin took a sideways step, directly blocking Iverson's way.

But of course, Iverson, who was so good, was not that simple, and after a cross-step, he rushed directly to the right of Leylin.

Although he was not able to block Iverson, he kept following Iverson's side, waiting for an opportunity to block.

At the same time, Battier, near the bottom corner, also came over to help defend and prepared to trap Iverson.

Seeing Battier give up Anthony to come over and wrap up, Iverson struck the ball into the bottom corner.

After Anthony received the ball, he took a step inside the three-point line and hit two points directly before Battier's defense was in place.

"Beautiful passing, in fact, if Allen can focus more on organizing the offense, maybe the strength of the Nuggets will improve by more than one notch."

'You're wasting Allen's talent, and Allen's bigger threat in attack isn't his passing, it's his scoring.

After two rounds, the Rockets stretched the margin to three points.

"One more!"

After serving from the baseline, Maddie dribbled to the outside of the three-point line and shouted loudly.

"Good!"
