Chapter 159: Easily win in the first round

After winning the first victory, the atmosphere within the Lakers was very relaxed. They played very easily against the Nuggets, and there were not many ways to restrain them.

"Don't leave first, let's practice a little more." Kobe called Li Tian again to practice a little more together.

After Yi Jianlian came to Los Angeles, his task was to pick up and drop off Li Tian every day, and he also did some regular training in the Lakers Training Hall to keep his condition.

At 8 pm local time on April 23, 2008.

The second playoff game between the Nuggets and the Lakers has officially begun.

In this game, Carl changed the starting lineup, and the two-point guards were arranged to appear in the first game. The digger team had a clear height disadvantage and was constantly named by Kobe.

Creza was mentioned to the starting lineup, and Carter was placed on the bench lineup.

In the first quarter, after losing the first game, the Nuggets were collectively despised by the media. The media watched the Nuggets' performance in the first game. They believed that the Nuggets would be swept out by the powerful Lakers, and they held their breath to dig.

Team King, vowed to win this game.

In the first quarter, Iverson broke through and made 4 of 7 at the basket, Anthony also made 3 of 6. Creza, who was promoted to the start, also scored a shooting percentage of 3 of 5 and scored 32 points.

Under the stimulation of Iverson, it exploded in the first quarter, breaking through the Nuggets' basket one after another. Kreza, who was promoted to the starter, fought hard and could not stop Kobe from breaking through. He scored 20 points in the first quarter. The fee for poor performance on the field

Schell made 2 of 3, Odom made a cold touch and 0 of 4, Li Tian made 2 of 3, and the Lakers scored 34 points in the first quarter.

The scores of the two teams were not widened. The Nuggets seemed to have a chance to win this game, but in fact they had already lost hope.

The Lakers played all players in the second quarter. As long as they appeared, they scored points. Although the substitute score was not as high as the starting lineup, it also stabilized the situation. The main player appeared on the field and fought a 9-0 attack wave of the Nuggets, widening the gap.

.The Nuggets' double guns, which continued to break through in the first quarter, scored 2 of 9 shots, and only the Nuggets' fig leaf, made 3 of 5 shots and scored 8 points.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Nuggets by 16 points 49-65.

In the second half, Carl had to let the starter play, and only JR Smith, who performed well in the first half, got a chance to play. The Nuggets struggled to chase the whole game but still failed to narrow the gap.

Finally, he lost the second series with a difference of 20 points again.

In this game, Iverson kept hitting the Lakers' inside line at the beginning, winning the highest score of 31 points for the diggers, but his shooting percentage was very low and 10 of 21 shots; Anthony was not in touch with the defense of Li Tian and Odom.

He scored 8 of 20 points, only 23 points, only 2 more points than the substitute "Neuro Knife".

The Lakers scored 49 points, Gasol scored 18 points, Walton also scored 18 points with a hot touch, and Li Tian, ​​who focused his main energy on defense, also scored 17 points. The Lakers exploded and then took it.

One win.

Next, the Lakers will be away from Denver and play two more away games with the Nuggets.

At 9:00 on April 26, 2008 local time, the third game of the series was held at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

The Nuggets performed even worse. The two made 10 of 38 shots and scored only 31 points. The entire Nuggets' shooting percentage was less than 40%; the Lakers scored 46% shooting percentage, and the 6 players scored in double digits.

Kobe scored the highest score of 22 points, but the three-pointer was also a three-pointer with the blacksmith's top 1 of 8 shots. This is the culprit of the Lakers' drop in shooting percentage. Fortunately, other players performed well, Gasol, Fisher, Odog

Mu, Li Tian, ​​and Walton both scored in double digits.

The Lakers won again, with the score between the two teams 108-84, and the score difference was still more than 20 points.

This round of series has reached 3:0. No team in history has been able to reverse the victory when they are behind 3:0. The Nuggets came to the edge of the cliff and fell into the abyss only one step away.

The next day, the Nuggets team fought desperately, but they were at a disadvantage in defensiveness and only played their own characteristics on the offensive end, crossing the basket and scoring 20 points.

The Lakers' starting touch was not good, but Li Tian, ​​Walton and others who came on as substitute all scored more than 50% of the shooting percentage.

The Nuggets, who used all their strength, still failed to win a victory for the team at home.

The last game was 107-101 and lost this series.

After the game, Iverson, who lost the game and left in a lost way, Li Tian knew a generation of geniuses. After losing this round of the series, he was sent to the Pistons by the Nuggets management. Then he wandered in the league and finally felt sad.

Retired and disappeared into the league.

The two teams greeted each other.

"Your defense is very strong. We lost this round of series. I have the chance to train together in the offseason." Anthony once again invited Li Tian to train together.

"Hahaha, no problem, I want to train with you, but there is no time this year's offseason, and I still need to participate in the Olympics and wait for next year." I agreed to Anthony's invitation, but there will not be so much time this summer.

"No problem. When you go to the Heavenly Dynasty, remember to invite me to dinner."

"Hahaha, it must be arranged." He agreed cheerfully.

Finally ended this round of series, Li Tian scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 2 turnovers per game. He was still a little nervous when he played in the playoffs for the first time, but after this round of series,

It also slowly adapts to the intensity of the playoffs.

Playing better than the regular season, mainly because the Nuggets' attack on Kobe and Gasol gave him a lot of opportunities. In addition, the golden-level unball running skills can get the opportunity to take action calmly and have a high hit rate

.

Sitting on a plane back to Los Angeles.

"Hahaha, we easily won this series 4:0." Odom said loudly, very excited. The less games they played, the more physical reserve they had, in the next series.

In this case, you will gain greater advantages.

"It is true that we played very easily in this round of series, but don't let our guard down too much." Phil knew that Odom had such a mentality. Facing the Nuggets with two guns, he won the first place so easily

Wheel, it's worth the joy.

Kobe is also worried that the players will feel proud. "Our goal is the championship, so as long as we don't win that damn O'Brien Cup, we can't relax." said word by word.

"Okay, but when you get the O'Brien Cup, you'll invite us to the most luxurious nightclub in Los Angeles to have a party for three days and three nights." Odom suggested.

"No problem. If the team doesn't pay, I will pay for you." Kobe nodded and said.

"If you are tired, you have a good rest. If you are not tired, let's analyze the playoffs." Phil said.

He took out all the games that were over now, and the result was in front of everyone.

Everyone was shocked, it was incredible. In this round of the Celtics and the Hawks, the Celtics did not win with a scattered victory as everyone expected, but instead scored 2-2, the Eighth Hawks and

The Celtics tied.

Even though I was shocked, I didn’t stay much, because even if the Celtics entered the next round and had to fight against the Celtics, I had to wait until the finals. That was a month later, and there was no need to rely so early now.

The Magic also finished the series against the Raptors and won the series 4:1; the Cavaliers and Wizards have a 3:1 lead in the series, and James' performance was even more impressive; the Pistons played against the Digital Man

The game once again blinded everyone's eyes on titanium alloy, and it actually appeared again to tie the game 2:2.

The first round of the East's series was really messy. The Celtics and Pistons are both popular with people and have the possibility of being hacked, which is dazzling.

In the series of the Suns and Spurs, which were originally considered to be evenly matched, the experienced Spurs scored 3:1, and the Spurs led, showing the momentum of defending the champion.

Paul led the Hornets and Dirk led the Mavericks, the series scored 3:1, the Hornets led the way, with three All-Stars, Paul, West, and Peja, as well as the defensive gate Chandler, the Hornets occupied the

The Lakers believe that the Hornets enter the second round is certain.

Losing Yao Ming's mosaic, he did not have an advantage in the playoffs, with a big score of 1:3, the mosaic had a home advantage and only won one game. Without Yao Ming guarding the penalty area, the Jazz was the tactic of the whole nation being a soldier, McDie

If a person struggles to support him, he can win two games and his performance is remarkable.

The management team is stingy and unwilling to spend more money on winning the championship. This is certain.

The Lakers will face the winners of the Mosaic and Jazz series in the next round.

Everyone is more concerned about this round of the series.

Li Tian looked at the Jazz's lineup, Kirilianko, Deron, Boozer, Brewer, Koval, and Millsap. Although these players are not top players in the league, they are all good players.

Except for Brewer, other players will be All-Star players in the future. The most important thing about this Jazz team is that they do not have a player with outstanding abilities. They are too average in strength, have no leader, and lack a decisive person.

Millsap is still just a substitute player and has not grown up. These players are all very good candidates for the second-in-command family, but some people do not have the life to be the boss, but instead get the disease to be the boss.

"Which team do you think we will face in the next round?" Phil asked the generals.

"Jazz, although there is McGrady in the Mosaic, he alone cannot resist this Jazz. They do not have outstanding players, but their overall strength is stronger." Kobe said calmly.

"Jazz." Gasol didn't say much.

"Jazz." The Lakers and other players had no other opinions and all thought it was the Jazz.

The reason is nothing else. McGrady will definitely not be able to carry the mosaic alone; the Lakers are used to playing the Jazz, but they have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the regular season.

"Everyone thinks it's a jazz. Whether it's a jazz or a mosaic, the next mosaic and a jazz game will be concentrated to watch the game as part of your daily training." In order to prevent the players from relaxing too much, Phil can only do so

in this way.

"Okay, it's not good to win the series too early," Odom complained.

"Hahaha, that's always easier than playing games, rest well, train well, and watch the game." Fisher patted Odom and said.

After the first round of the series, the Lakers have at least 5 days off, waiting for the mosaics and Jazz to hit the final result, and then compete with their winners in the next round of the series.
