I'm really good at shooting.

The salary cap is too low in this era, and the Big Three's lineup occupies too much of the salary cap, making it difficult to sign powerful role players.

Therefore, the Big Three did not appear in this era. Part of the reason is that the stars do not like to group together, and the more important thing is the relationship between the salary cap.

In addition, in this era, although the inside line is weakening, it will be very difficult without a top inside line in the game, especially in the playoffs.

This is why the combination of Sun Hao and O'Neal will make the game so simple.

So this fiasco of the Nets seems to be unexpected, but it is also reasonable.

In history, they were also swept out 4-0 by the Heat led by Wade and O'Neal this year.

The two games in the East are over, followed by the West.

The first Supersonic Kings game, this game has limited star power, and the attention of fans is relatively low.

In the end, the Sonics beat the Kings 87 to 84 to get off to a good start.

Ray Allen scored a game-high 28 points.

Fans who watched this game can conclude that the two deals of the Kings on the trade deadline were complete failures.

Especially after Webber is sent away, the offense that the Kings rely on most is gone.

The day's focus battle should be the last one, the Lone Ranger vs. Timberwolves.

Kobe and Nowitzki's first trip to the playoffs was against the Timberwolves "three-headed monster"!

Although the Timberwolves' regular season record this season is not very good, it is not the same concept as the Nets.

They were more affected by injuries, especially the team's backcourt commander Sam Cassell, who only played more than 50 games this season due to injury.

After the two teams started playing, the game was extremely intense, and it was completely impossible to see that it was the second-largest and seventh-ranked match.

The Mavericks have been trying hard to open the game, but the Timberwolves have also been biting the score under the leadership of Garnett.

It is usually said that Jagged has a big jumper, and he retreats 58 specials after the battle, which is more of a joke. If you really think Garnett is weak because of these few stalks, then you have watched less.

Even in the long history of the NBA, Garnett is the top superstar.

The two teams remained deadlocked until the decisive moment.

In the end, Kobe did not choose to call the pick-and-roll in the face of Garnett's defense, and made a one-on-one emergency stop jumper.

In Nowitzki's desperate eyes, the basketball hit the frame.

The score on the field was fixed at 90 to 91.

The Mavericks lost to the Timberwolves by 1!

After the East, the West also broke out!

Well, compared to the first day's game, this day's game was full of surprises.

But it is precisely because of this accident that the playoffs have become even more worth looking forward to.

Because if you haven't played a game where you know the result for a long time, it must be boring!

The Lakers practice session this day.

The playoffs of other teams are not only concerned by fans, but also by players.

When it comes to matters in an industry, the people in the industry are the most concerned.

"Are we going to lose an upset too?"

After training, Ariza couldn't help but turned to Sun Hao.

Yesterday's two upsets in a row were indeed a wake-up call.

"No, didn't you hear what Shaq said in the press conference before? We're going to lose, unless we're not playing basketball."

Sun Hao smiled and turned to look at O'Neill, his words were obviously teasing.

What O'Neill said at the press conference was a bit poisonous.

"Yes, we will not lose."

O'Neill pouted and nodded seriously.

He didn't think he could lose even one game in this round of the series.

The Lakers are full of confidence on this side, and the Nuggets on the other side are also full of confidence.

After the training session, James still accepted media interviews.

When asked about his expectations for the second game.

"Win, our only expectation is to win the next game."

His confidence and morale are much better than after the last loss.

It can be seen that the rest of the day has allowed him to adjust his mentality back.

"Is this related to yesterday's game?"

reporters asked.

Yesterday's two consecutive upsets have become the hottest topic in this period.

"Yeah, that did help our confidence, they can do it and we have a chance to do it."

James didn't deny it.

And he wasn't talking about me, he was talking about us.

What happened outside affects not only him personally, but the entire Nuggets team.

James regained his confidence, and the Nuggets also rekindled their fighting spirit.

On the third day of the playoffs, the Lakers continued to meet the challenge of the Nuggets at home.

Yesterday's two upsets made many fans look forward to the Nuggets.

If this side also seems to win the first place in the eighth or lower, it will definitely be very exciting.

The game started under the watchful eyes of the fans, and ended with the fans' bewildered expressions.

113:89.

The Nuggets played better than the first game, but they ended up losing to the Lakers by more than 20 points.

Sun Hao and O'Neal once again scored 58 points together.

James said in Game [-] that the Nuggets had a chance and Game [-] that they could do it, but in the end, neither game ended in any suspense.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Chapter 391 Throwing magnesium powder is very handsome, but...

James, a little skeptical of life.

However, he remained confident in his post-match press conference.

"What are your expectations for the team this season? Winning a playoff game?"

It still smells like a Los Angeles reporter.

"That's what we're going to do next, but my goal is more than that. I'm still looking forward to winning a championship."

James' answer surprised everyone.

After two disastrous losses, James is still looking forward to winning...a championship?

This sounds unbelievable.

"champion?"

The reporter confirmed to James.

James nodded, and said another classic sentence of his own in the next second.

"There's no need to play in the NBA if you don't believe you can win a championship!"

This sentence, like the words after the last game, was powerful and resounding.

When people are in adversity, it is easy to have life insights.

Therefore, most of the great poets in ancient times were depressed and unsuccessful.

James, when the situation is unfavorable, also frequently utters golden sentences.

This is, to develop in the direction of poets and philosophers.

The good news is that the next two games will be played on the home court of the Nuggets.

The plateau home of the Nuggets is the well-known devil away game in the NBA.

Its altitude is not as exaggerated as those from Tibet, but under high-intensity and fierce confrontation, it is enough to affect the performance of athletes.

For the Nuggets who have played on the plateau for a long time, this is a major advantage that must not be ignored.

So before the third game of the series, when TNT was analyzing the series, Kenny Smith felt that the Nuggets had a chance to win a series.

"I know Shaq, the guy's weight right now can't support him playing a full game in that place, and his playing time will be shortened."

As a former champion member of the Houston team, Kenny Smith is still very professional when analyzing problems.

But Barkley on the side didn't think so.

"The Lakers don't need to play the whole game because the game will be decided within three quarters."

And Barkley's words made Kenny Smith unable to refute for a while.

Over the past two games, that seems to be the case.

"I still think the Nuggets can win the next game."

But Kenny Smith insisted on his point of view.

"Kenny, they still have Sun!"

Barkley cut "Sun Chuan" in seconds.

This made Smith on the side laugh.

Barkley, there really is no one left.

After a day off, the Lakers boarded a plane to Denver.

On the plane, O'Neill sat next to Sun Hao.

"I hate playing in that place, it's so uncomfortable."

O'Neill grumbled, rarely.

Sun Hao can understand, fat people don't like to stay on the plateau.

Everyone's altitude sickness is different, but one thing is certain, the fatter you are, the greater your reaction will be.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

But Sun Hao still said with a smile.

O'Neill froze for a moment.

Well, that damn Jordan vibe is at it again.

It was the first time for him, O'Neill, to hear someone speak to him like this, and he didn't really want to refute.

If it were someone else, he would definitely reply.

"I'm Shaq, I need you?"

But because the person who spoke was Sun Hao, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

The next night, the third game of the series between the two sides kicked off at the Pepsi Center, home of Denver.

Denver's home attendance has always been high, and it's hard to find a ticket after James joined.

That kind of crowded scene is no worse than the Staples Center.

During the warm-up before the game, James gathered the players together.

"This is our home field, for ourselves, but also for our fans, guard our home field!"
