On April 4, the playoffs began.

The Nuggets' first-round opponent is the Trail Blazers.

The Nuggets, which are unanimously optimistic by the media and experts, did not disappoint everyone.

3-0.
In the last time the league used the five-game first-round format of the playoffs, the Nuggets took the Blazers without breaking a sweat.

三场比赛：86-102，84-100，110-94
In every game, the Nuggets beat the Trail Blazers by 16 points.

Li Nan averaged 36.3 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game very efficiently.

The voice of the Nuggets winning the championship is even louder.

Soon, the Nuggets' second-round opponent also came out. Without any surprise, it was the Los Angeles Lakers.

It's like an advance stage of the finals!
A fierce battle broke out between the two teams.

In the first two games, the Nuggets directly rubbed the Lakers on the ground,

98-114, 86-104,

In two games, the Nuggets did not give the Lakers any chance.

In the third game, 90-92, the Lakers narrowly won by 2 points and kept their home court.

In the fourth game, 100-103, the Lakers narrowly won again, and the score was tied 2-2.
After the fifth and sixth games, both sides kept their home courts.

The big score was 3-3, a tie.

In the first six games, even at the Nuggets' home court, the referee's whistles were biased towards the Lakers.

What is strange is that, except for the local media in Denver, the outside media doesn't report much on referee whistle-offs, and the world seems to have acquiesced.

Moreover, when the Nuggets lost to the Lakers, even fans of many other teams cheered.

Now the situation is that, except for the Denver Nuggets fans, the whole league wants to see the Nuggets lose.

The original media experts' high support for the Nuggets winning the championship has also changed after these six games.

The approval ratings for the Lakers and Nuggets to advance to the Western Conference Finals have become [-]-[-].

Although Game [-] is the Nuggets' home game, everyone is optimistic about the Lakers.

If you win more, we want to see you lose, and we want to see heroes appear and defeat the big boss.

This is the human heart, and this is what some people call "the general trend"!
Game [-] was played at the Pepsi Center, home of the Denver Nuggets.

Before the game, the atmosphere in the Nuggets locker room was a bit dignified.

"Made, if they didn't have referees, we would have won already."

"Don't panic, take them home today!"

"However, what if the referees and those old men brag again today? I can't help but want to hit someone."

Without mentioning this, the players are not doing well. When the referee is mentioned, everyone's mood suddenly becomes heavier.

When everyone was silent, Li Nan stood up and stood in the middle of the crowd.

"Hey! Guys, remember our goal at the start of the season? Defend!

However, after finally getting here, are you going to give up?Are you about to give up after encountering such a small setback?Um? "

Some people lowered their heads, not feeling well in their hearts.

Li Na's tone of voice has improved a lot, and her speaking speed has also increased:

"Los Angeles wants to see us lose, Sacramento wants to see us lose, Washington wants to see us lose, Stern wants to see us lose, ref Crawford wants to see us lose, the whole world wants to see Until we lose.

Do you know why?

Because we are too strong, we are so strong that they are afraid.Yes!Our opponents are scared. "

Scanning for a week, looking into everyone's eyes, Li Nan asked fiercely:

"What about you? Are you afraid of facing such an opponent?"

Ben Wallace was the first to stand:

"No! I'm not afraid! Fuck him and it's over!"

"Yes, overthrow them!"

"That's right, just do them!"

Everyone became emotional, as if they wanted to vent all the depression in their chests.

Everyone formed a circle, with hands clasped together.

"Guys, are you ready to fight against the world?"

"Roar!"

For a common goal, everyone on the Nuggets resolutely set foot on the battlefield again.

In this game, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, and the hit rate was extremely low.

The scores of the two sides have been biting tightly, and the points are very, very few.

At halftime the score was 32-33,

The players' scoring today was also dismal.

At the end of the fourth quarter, none of O'Neal, Kobe, Li Nan, Hamilton, the top scorers of the two sides scored more than 20 points!
At this time, the game has come to the final moment, the score of the two sides is 60-60,

On the court, in the last 6 seconds, facing Kobe's defense, Li Nan, who had been pressing the time, started to make moves.

6,

2,

1,

Li Nan changed direction with his crotch, and made a jump shot with a large step back.

It was a jumper with a fadeaway. Kobe rushed up, but didn't touch it.

Whoosh!
Go in!

Lights on, whistles on!
Lore!

"yeah!"

Nuggets fans jumped up and down excitedly.

Li Nan was surrounded by his teammates.

"We won, we won!"

The Nuggets are so excited!

But the Lakers fans far away at the Staples Center in Los Angeles were completely chilled.

Some "neutral" fans who followed the game were also disappointed.

However, at this time, something magical happened
