In the days after I acquired the new skills, I spent every day in the training center to strengthen my familiarity with the new skills.

"Brother Tian, ​​Mosaic and the Nuggets are about to have a tiebreaker!" Sun Yue came over and said.

"Yeah?"

Before I knew it, I was immersed in training every day and had been training for nearly a week.

"Yes, let's go. Don't train today. Kobe is ready. Let me take you over and watch the live broadcast of this game together!" Sun Yue, also under Kobe's command, asked him to come over and call Li Tian to watch together.

live streaming.

Mosaic's G7 series against the Nuggets will determine the Lakers' opponents in the next round.

"Okay!" Still a little reluctant, he took the last mid-range shot.

"Hurry up and sit down, the game is about to start!"

Phil was also on the list, and this time he didn't stop the whole team from watching the live broadcast. It seemed that there must be something that he didn't want all the players to know.

"Come on, do you want a drink?" Kobe handed over a bottle of wine.

"Get out!" Hearing this, he couldn't help but get angry. He knew clearly that he couldn't drink yet, so he had to take out a bottle of wine and circle it in front of him.

"Hahaha!" Looking at the people around him, he laughed wildly.

It hurts to say too much!

On May 17, the G7 match between Mosaic and the Nuggets will be played at Mosaic's home court. This is a game that determines the spot for the Western Conference Finals.

Players from both teams on both sides of the match know very well that this match will not only determine the fate of each player, but may also determine the future fate of both teams.

At the beginning of the season, in order to make the team go further, the Denver Nuggets traded Iverson for Billups at the beginning of the season, hoping to have the opportunity to go further in the playoffs.

This year's team's record has been greatly improved compared to last year, from eighth in the Western Conference last season to top four in the Western Conference this season.

Entering the second round of the playoffs, and now having a G7 decisive battle with Mosaic, and entering the Western Conference Finals, both teams have a 50-50 chance.

The Denver Nuggets rejected the previous seasons, and the team's team building ideas have completely changed. They are also betting. Until now, it can be said that their changes have achieved good results, but whether they can continue to go further depends on this.

The result of a game.

The same is true for the Mosaic team. This season, the Mosaic team is in a precarious situation. In the offseason, the team introduced Artest, the former best defensive player. McGrady was injured during the season and was subsequently reimbursed for the season. There was a dispute between Yao Ming and the team's coaching staff.

, conflicts also broke out several times, and they once broke up and Yao Ming applied for a trade.

In the end, after a series of efforts, Yao Ming's concerns were dispelled and he did not apply for a trade during the season. The team also truly established that Yao Ming was the core of the team and focused on offense and defense around the inside. In the new season of the team, Yao Ming

The outbreak during that period eventually led to the second place in the Western Conference.

Even if it breaks the team's curse of not being able to advance to the second round for many years, this game will determine whether Mosaic has a chance to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Inside the arena, the main color is red. Almost all fans are wearing Yao Ming's jerseys, and a few are wearing Tracy McGrady and Artest's jerseys to cheer for the home team.

Both teams know the importance of this game.

After experiencing the first six games, the two teams are already familiar with each other. You can say that you have a deep understanding of the opponent. Both teams have their own advantages. The Denver team has Billups, who has participated in the finals, and

He has won the Finals MVP. For such an important game, he is more experienced, has a psychological advantage, and also has rich experience.

Don't underestimate this psychological advantage. In the tiebreaker, every ball possession is crucial. Billups still digs into the brain of sorting out the offense, so he will handle the offense more reasonably.

Mosaic still has the advantage. They are playing at home. They also won the battle at Tianwang Mountain, so they also have a certain advantage.

The match between the two teams officially begins.

Dayao did not win the jump ball. The whole series was very consumed. If he had not deliberately reserved his physical fitness during the regular season, he would have collapsed by now. But with the breath in his heart, he persisted until

Now, in this race, I also try my best to run myself.

After losing the jump ball, he quickly ran towards the front basket. He had to guard the team's basket and not give his opponent a chance to take a shot easily.

"Ah!" Dayao roared, moving sideways towards Anthony who broke through the basket, blocked his layup with a slap, and slapped the ball towards Artest!

After grabbing the ball, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt.

"Clang!" A heavy dunk was completed.

0:2 Mosaic leads.

"Hey!" Phil shook his head and sighed.

Li Tian was a little confused. He didn't know what he was sighing for. Maybe he was sighing because he regretted not being able to coach Yao Ming. Maybe he was sighing at the weakness of the team's inside line. Maybe he was sighing.

"Brother Yao is still so strong. The Nuggets' insiders are like paper in front of him!" Sun Yue couldn't help but sigh.

Just before he spoke, Yao Ming came to the inside. With his fantastic steps, he easily shook off Nene and hit the hook. His soft touch made countless players envious. He was really so stable, no matter what kind of defense he faced.

, Yao Ming rarely has a low shooting percentage and always remains stable.

"Yes, Brother Yao has lost some weight now, his speed has become faster, and he can stay on the court longer!" Li Tian suddenly felt that if Mosaic wins this game, he always feels like he is equal to the enemy.

"Yao has performed better this year. If it weren't for the Magic's better record and Howard's popularity in the beautiful country, I think Yao would have entered the league's best team, or DPOY!" Phil said lightly.

He feels that the league is a bit unfair to Yao Ming. He has never received corresponding treatment in terms of honor selection and star whistle. If the league treats him like some stars from the beautiful country, Yao Ming's achievements will definitely be greater.

Higher, of course the number of injuries will be reduced a lot.

"Yes, the league is very unfair to him!" Kobe liked Yao Ming very much. Of course, he also wanted to cooperate with him, but he never had the opportunity to become a teammate.

"Let's not talk about these words. If Mosaic advances, how should we deal with Yao next? This is the point that I am most concerned about!" Gasol was the least calm.

If he were asked to write down who his most annoying opponent is, it would definitely not be 'Roaring God' Wallace, nor would it be 'Veteran Driver' Nowitzki. The top two would definitely be O'Neal and Dayao. Of course he

The most annoying one is definitely Dayao. After all, not only in the NBA, they have to play more than 4 games every season, but also when they return to the international arena, they are beaten so hard by Dayao.

If he plays against Mosaic in the next round of playoffs, he can predict that Bynum will definitely be different and will be beaten by Yao Ming more easily. He will definitely be pushed to the center position.

"Haha, I think I need to work harder for you. You are a member of the third team of the best team today. I believe you can definitely defeat him!"

Shamelessly patting Gasol on the shoulder, Li Tian said with a smile.

"Go away, Phil, I personally suggest that Lee must be pushed to the starting center position. I think he has enough understanding of Yao, and the defensive effect will be even better!" Gasol shamelessly betrayed his teammates and proposed.

This 'high opinion'!

"Haha, this is not impossible!" Phil thought thoughtfully.

Before that, he had already thought about this problem, whether he could try and let Li Tian defend Yao Ming. The only doubt was that the difference in physical tonnage between the two was too big, whether they could withstand Yao Ming's impact on the inside.

is an unknown quantity.

Similarly, he does not want to be too physically exhausted when defending Yao Ming, which will affect Li Tian's offensive contribution. So he has been thinking about whether to take this risk. This is why Bynum performed poorly before.

He didn't choose to abandon Bynum, but just said a few words casually.

While several people were chatting, Yao Ming once again attacked the inside, attracted double-teams from Nene and Kenyon Martin, passed the ball to Scola who was open, and turned around and hit a layup.

35:39 Mosaic once again widened the point difference to more than two possessions, easing the pressure on the Mosaic team.

"Yao's containment power is too strong, and his passing ability is also very strong. It is impossible to lock him down. How can we restrain him?" Phil said in a low voice.

Of course, the Nuggets were not to be outdone. Billups was tightly entangled by Battier, and it was very difficult to break through. They could only call on Kenyon Martin to pick and roll, break through Scola, and assign JR, who came on the outside as a substitute, for a three-pointer.

hit.

Since the last time he made three consecutive long-range three-pointers against the Lakers, George Karl kept him on the bench for several games. It was not until the start of the playoffs that he was rearranged to appear. Only after being severely beaten by society did he understand

Playing time is precious. When he was first scheduled to appear, he was so excited that he almost cried.

After hitting this three-pointer, JR seemed to have a sight on him and hit several three-pointers in succession to lead the team and take the lead.

At 56:48, JR hit consecutive three-pointers, completely reversing the Nuggets' decline.

Mosaic's three defensive gatekeepers, defending Billups, Anthony, and Yao Ming, could only sit on the inside and could not extend the defense to the outside. JR became the one to break Mosaic's defense. The nerve knife activated its nerves this time, making Mosaic unable to resist.

"This guy is really interesting. We faced the Nuggets for the last time in the regular season. If it weren't for this guy, we wouldn't have won the Nuggets so easily!" Sun Yue felt that there must be something wrong with this guy.

Normally, he is a teammate and a sharp blade that can kill his opponent; when abnormally, he is not worthy of being a pig teammate, and he is definitely more of a spy than a spy.

"Don't look at him with normal eyes. You are right, but he must not be ignored easily!" Li Tian said in a deep voice.

"It seems that our opponent in the next round has been determined. Our opponent will definitely be the Denver Nuggets!" Kobe said with a smile.

If the two teams continue to fight like this, the result can be imagined. The Mosaic team will definitely lose. Yao Ming had a big explosion in the first half, scoring 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. He was constantly double-teamed in the paint, and in the second quarter,

Yao lost contact with the outside line, and it became more and more difficult to assist the outside line.

"Haha, don't say it so early. As long as the game is not over, we can't be sure which team will win. There is no chance of a comeback. Brother Yao will not be defeated so easily!" Li Tian said lightly.

"Well, I don't think there is any hope for Mosaic. The Nuggets have a better chance of winning the game!" Kobe said.

Soon the first half of the game was over. Mosaic narrowed the point difference to 4 points at 62:58, and Mosaic's opportunity came back.

"How about it? It seems that what I said is right. Mosaic narrowed the point difference. They seem to have found a way to solve the team's predicament!" he said to Kobe.

Being slapped in the face, Sun Yue suddenly felt that Kobe's temper had become better and better recently, and he didn't have any objection to being provoked like this.

At the beginning of the second half, Mosaic's starting point guard Aaron Brooks (Little Black Bean) broke through Jones' defense with the ball and made a sudden stop and hit a mid-range shot.

62:60, Brooks faced the fans, beating his chest and shouting loudly.

On the defensive end, Dayao took advantage of the halftime break to fully recover his physical fitness, and his lateral speed returned to its peak. He took a step laterally and appeared on Billups' breakthrough route.
