Center first

Chapter 125 The Contest of No.2
Not many people can still think of the trade between the Pistons and the Nuggets more than a month ago, how many AI loyalists in Denver attempted to attack the top management of the Nuggets halfway.These hateful guys were undoubtedly misers who fell in the eyes of money in the eyes of the fans.

Before the start of the season, they had already sent out the best defensive player Marcus Camby in order to save salary, and now they have to think about sending the "answer" out of this city, and they have already had a disappointing experience The fans were outraged.

The seductive combination of "Golden Guns" has made many people in Denver look forward to Iverson and Anthony joining hands to lead this team that has been stuck in the first round of the playoffs for several years to continue to the next level. A higher honor sprint, and now that hope has been dashed under the intervention of the management, no one will not be angry.

But today, more than a month later, no one mentions that they wanted to kill the management. Stanley Kroenko’s decision, which was only considered for salary space, has become a magic stroke that changed the face of the team. People still care about the golden backcourt that was dismantled at the beginning.

"There are two ways to plan trades in the NBA. One is to completely consider the refreshment of the lineup and ignore the salary issue at all. The other is to be an idiot in the eyes of many fans for the sake of salary." The Nuggets chose the latter. When they made this deal, they only considered salary space, but they were lucky not to become that thing in the eyes of the fans, because they were passive and lucky to win the bet.
If the most valuable transfer transaction of the 08-09 season is selected, it is possible that this main swap between the Nuggets and the Pistons will become the final winner.In just one month, the Nuggets proved their wisdom or luck. In this month, all the Motown fans began to hate their former hero, Joe Dumars, because he gave away the key to victory
The Detroit people fell into the abyss of doom almost from the day the transaction was completed. Their record this month is not a dismal one that can be described. Iverson did not bear his reputation as the scoring leader in Detroit, but fell A "house arrest" ended, the team's performance and his game data are like a stock market that never returns, plummeting, and there is no sign of recovery at all. This is a tragic transaction.

How many people in this league dare to say that they can stop Iverson's offense?Who's to say he can stop the determination of Iverson, the most fearless guy ever to go to the rim?Now please remember the name of the head coach of the Pistons, Michael Curry, because he did what the Lakers couldn't do in 2001, or he did what many teams couldn't do in the past ten years. What he did, he made the sharpest offensive weapon in the league completely lose its luster.

According to a report issued by the "Detroit Free Press", Pistons head coach Michael Curry explained why Iverson's playing time in the Pistons began to decrease, and he even sat on the bench for a long time in a daze. He said very calmly The following words came out.
"He may have to play less time than before because the current team is the best team he has ever played for, and he can provide more energy for the team sitting on the bench. Not only him, all of us The first starter may reduce the playing time accordingly.
After this text was published, even Brown, who had had a dispute with Iverson, said in private that letting such an idiot use Iverson is an insult to the scoring machine. It’s probably not just Brown saying that, but all the fans who like Iverson are not cursing this damn deal, nor are they not cursing this damn master Coach's.

And after sending away Marcus Camby, the Nuggets, who were predicted by various forecasting experts that they would not be able to get a playoff ticket again this year, slapped these idiots again with their own results a month later, The Nuggets, who got Chauncey Billups, successfully jumped to the second place in the Western Conference with the most gorgeous offense. They defeated countless strong players in a month. The Pepsi Center Arena has been regarded by many teams as Forbidden area in general.

Now in front of them is only the Lakers led by Peter Pan Kobe. Behind them, the Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs are all looking up to this suddenly reborn team.The Nuggets and the Heat can be said to be the representatives of the sudden resurrection. They both broke out suddenly under the most neglected circumstances, and the blowout outbreak made many people feel scared.

Who is the hottest team in the league?Two years ago, the Warriors under the command of Nelson were counted as one. The "Black Eight Miracle" they created was enough to deserve the title of convulsions.

Now the New York Knicks can also be regarded as a team. Although their record is still bad, but under the guidance of D'Antoni, they have inherited the essence of the Suns' original running and bombing. Their desperate offensive posture is enough Many people were shocked. Although they were still losing, no one dared to relax their nerves for even a moment when playing against them.

The rest may be the reborn Nuggets. The team under George Karl has always lived on offense. It is better to let him play tough defense like the Spurs than to kill him. His men taught The Cavaliers, Warriors, Sonics, Bucks, none of which have super offensive guys.

The Nuggets under George Karl can be said to be the most famous nerve knife. They dare to win anyone or lose any team. They can score 100 points per game, and then give their opponent 110 points. Anyway, Pepsi in Denver Anything can happen in Center Arena.

The head coach with the highest winning record in the history of the cba is now ushering in another glory of his coaching career. The rapid progress of the Nuggets has attracted everyone's attention. There are thick videos about them on every coach's desk material.

In this way, No.2 in the East and No.2 in the West met in a gorgeous way when they both ushered in their highest rankings in the season. This may be the most passionate collision after the Christmas War. On December 12th, in the New Year When it is coming, all NBA fans can watch the most dazzling confrontation in the flames of offense.

Now the Heat are reborn by relying on the rise of Wade and Lin Yi, and the Nuggets are also relying on Chauncey Billups' organizational ability Phoenix Nirvana, the Nuggets are not lacking in offense. Horsepower gallops forward.

Once George Karl and Popovich complained privately.

"You have a superstar who is serious and doesn't need to worry about, but my team only has a bunch of selfish, uncoordinated, soft-ball guys. I spend every day balancing their locker room relationships. It’s more than spent on the training ground.” Carl’s complaints are understandable, he is not only a coach in the Nuggets, but also a part-time nanny, teacher, and father, but the stingy boss will never give him more money. salary.

But now that the arrival of Chauncey Billups has completely relieved him of such troubles, what does it feel like for a poor man to become rich?Maybe George Karl can understand it best now. He may wake up with a smile when he is dreaming. Chauncey Billups, an unpretentious point guard, may be his most dreamed player.

Which Finals MVP will be overlooked?Chauncey Billups is one of them, but when people talk about who is the "No. [-] point guard" in the league today, few will think of him.Kidd, Paul, and Nash are the center of people's discussions. Who would pay attention to a guy who looks like a flounder.

Chauncey Billups will always be the winner of the game, but his low-key way of doing things makes him have no glamorous coat to show off. He only enjoys the victory, enjoys the unknown low-key, but present No one can ignore him when he is up.

Never been labeled as the "best player", but this does not prevent him from achieving his honor.His skills are never related to magnificence, he almost never performs dunks, and he is not a fast-break player with lightning pace like Iverson, he will not "no look pass" like a magician, his dictionary There is no such word as show time.

But no one has ever dared to ignore his three-pointers, and no one will ignore his breakthrough ability. His speed is not fast, but his strong body can guarantee his ability to control the basketball in the air. Simple and crisp, his breakthrough is so impeccable. Spectacular, but accurate free throws and a stable touch are enough to kill.

Lin Yi and all members of the Heat team are sitting in the conference room of the hotel, watching the game video that Spoelstra showed them. On the screen is the recent game of the Denver Nuggets. The characteristics of each opponent It has been deeply imprinted in the minds of every Heat player.

This is the last stop of their trip to the west, but everyone knows that if they want to leave with a perfect four-game winning streak, the team in front of them is the biggest obstacle. The strong offensive ability of the opponent makes them realize the importance of this task. difficult.

Spoelstra also gathered these guys to analyze the video as soon as they arrived at the hotel. Chauncey Billups has been set by him as the top priority of defense. How much damage a core point guard can bring is clear from the tape.

This is not the first time the Heat have wrestled with a strong team, but the opponents are just like them, teams that have been rising rapidly recently, and their offensive power is as terrifying as theirs. It is said that the current Denver Nuggets are a very complete team, and their offensive power is definitely enough for the Heat to raise the alert level to the highest level.

After watching the video, everyone is weighing the power balance between themselves and the opposing guy. This will be a fierce battle. No one can predict the result, including Lin Yi and Wade, but they just silently record their own Opponents, as for the result, it depends on their hands on the court.

The Pepsi Center was opening their doors to welcome the weary travelers, and of course they wanted nothing more than to leave their victory behind.

The contest between the second place in the East and the West begins now!
