Chapter 216: Nuggets Series (4)
Wang Meng listened to Monty's endless chatter where the old god was there, and he was already sleepy to death, as the MVP of the audience, Wang Meng, although he was very reluctant to attend the press conference, but he still had to attend, but soon he heard a surprising news.
"Mr. Wang Meng, in the Bulls vs. 76ers game last night, the Bulls' leading point guard Rose was accidentally injured in a layup, according to the leak from the hospital after the game, Rose's knee cruciate ligament was torn, the condition is very serious, and it is estimated that it will be reimbursed even next season, what do you think about this?"
The reporter's words made Wang Meng stunned, "Rose is injured?" Or reimbursement season? ”
This is still yesterday, Wang Meng should have known about it a long time ago, but today in order to prepare for the game with the Nuggets, Wang Meng spent all day in the stadium and didn't even watch TV.
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Meng was very calm. Then again, what does Rose's injury have to do with him?
Rose is a team in the East, even if he is injured, unless he appears in the Finals, it is impossible to compete with Wang Meng, and even if Rose is healthy, it is difficult to beat the Heat Big Three, and the possibility of entering the Finals is really not big. On Wang Meng's side, although he doesn't want to admit it, in the face of the Thunder Three Less, the Lakers' new Big Three, and the Spurs' old GPD, Wang Meng does not have much confidence to enter the finals.
Although thinking like this, Wang Meng still made a very sad look, and said very sadly: "I'm sorry, I really haven't heard about this, Rose's injury is really a big tragedy in the league, Rose is a good player, not only won the regular season MVP last season, but also led the team to the second round of the playoffs, when I didn't enter the league before, I always regarded him as a goal to surpass, but unfortunately, I can't play against him this season." ”
Wang Meng said this, but the reporters in the audience were overjoyed, and hurriedly took out their pens and wrote a string of words in the notebook.
"Wang Meng is very suspicious of Rose's injury, and said that if Rose is not injured, he will face the Hornets in the finals."
"Wang Meng is full of confidence in the playoffs, and he has no problem entering the finals."
"Ross is the driving force for Wang Meng's progress, and Wang Meng's Luros was and is his idol."
Second, when Wang Meng saw these reports, he immediately wanted to cry without tears, "I didn't say anything, you don't play with me like this, right?" ”
"Wang Meng played steadily, 20+10 led the Hornets to easily defeat the Nuggets, but Rose, who is also one of the strongest point guards in the league, was unfortunately injured in the face of the 76ers, and the entire playoff was reimbursed.
It was the next day's newspaper headline and the biggest news of the playoffs.
The first game of the first round was all over, and the situation was not unexpected, the Spurs who were the first in the West vs the eighth Jazz in the West won easily 106:91, and the Spurs' Duncan was old and strong, cutting 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the Nuggets center Jefferson was beaten, and Parker scored 28 points and 8 assists.
The second Thunder vs the seventh Mavericks, the score of Nowitzki and Durant finally ended with Durant's victory, and the Thunder also defeated the Mavericks who were very hot last season.
In third place is the Hornets vs. the Nuggets in sixth.
Fourth, the Lakers vs Grizzlies game may be the most exciting game in the Western series, the Grizzlies' black and white duo vs. the Lakers' West and Howard twin towers, the Grizzlies have some upper hand in the interior competition, and Gasol Jr.'s style just has a little restriction on Howard, although it is only a little, but West is even weaker in the face of Randolph, the black fat man. If it is just a competition for the power of the inside, the Grizzlies should be able to win this game by a slight advantage, but unfortunately, the Lakers do not only have the inside, compared to the inside, the Lakers' outside line is more terrifying, Paul and Kobe Bryant's outside terminator combination, plus the beast Artest, no team in the whole league dares to compete with the Lakers on the outside.
The result of the battle between the two sides is naturally self-evident, the Grizzlies' outside combination of Conley + Mayo + Guy lost to Paul + Kobe + Artest, no, it should be called the hands of world peace.
Although the Bulls, who ranked first in the league in the West, defeated the 76ers, they lost the core of the team, Rose, and the road ahead is very dark, and the second-place Heat looked very relaxed and happy in the face of the Magic led by Bydam, Bydam's interior offensive ability is much stronger than Howard's, but his defensive deterrence ability is more than a notch worse than Howard's, and his bulky body makes it difficult for him to have Howard's speed, in the face of James Wade and others' repeated impacts, Plagued by fouls, Bydam spent most of his time on the bench and was fouled six times at the start of the fourth quarter.
The clash between the third-place Pacers and the sixth-place Knicks also attracted a lot of Chinese fans, who were disappointed to see Wang Meng's playoff performance as always, hoping that Jeremy Lin would also play some exciting results.
In the Pacers' home court, the Knicks eventually lost to the Pacers, and the Knicks' star Anthony didn't take much advantage of the stumble with Pacers boss Danny Granger, scoring 20 points on 7-of-17 shooting, and the other core Xiaosi played quite well, and also had a 20+ performance, but Jeremy Lin, who was extremely concerned by the people of the whole country, played inaccurately in the playoffs for the first time in his career and was away, scoring a pitiful 7 points on 3-of-12 shooting, delivering 3 assists but 7 turnovers.
At the press conference, the new head coach who replaced D'Antoni said that the Knicks are still running in, and for Jeremy Lin's abnormal play, he said that it is normal, and any newcomer will lose himself in the high-intensity battle of entering the playoffs, and he hopes that Jeremy Lin can find his feeling as soon as possible, and also said that he will give Jeremy Lin this opportunity in the next games.
The fourth-place Celtics and Hawks game is the only game in all the playoffs where the regular season win leads but loses a game at home, Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen The three veterans finally showed fatigue, although Rondo has risen, but it is clear that the offensive ability is lacking, and the free throws and O'Neal have a fight Rondo still can't lead the Celtics far.
The above is the record of each team in the first game of the first round, some people are happy and some are worried, and the NBA has always been like this.
