Chapter 704 Denver Plateau's Difficult and Dangerous Dezhou Ranch on a Difficult Way (Part [-])

After the game on April 4th, there are still three games left in the first two games of the first round of the playoffs. Among these three games, the more interesting ones are the matchup between the Spurs and the Kings and the matchup between the Hornets and the Heat Well, these two series are against evenly matched opponents. Not to mention the excitement of the game, just a relatively balanced game state will attract the attention of fans. After all, apart from the local fans of the winner, there probably will not be How many people like to watch one-sided massacres.

After the game on the 20th, the Mavericks will go to the Denver plateau. Although the plateau game will have a certain impact on the player's state, everyone in the Mavericks has already established the confidence to advance to the next round earlier. Insufficient Nuggets are actually hard to put too much pressure on the Mavericks.

On April 4, the remaining three games of the first two home games in the first round of the playoffs officially started.

It is very surprising that the two games that were originally predicted to be evenly matched were all won by a big score, but there was no small accident in the game that was originally considered to be no suspense.

The Pistons were overturned by the Bucks at home, 92 to 88, and the Pistons lost to Jingzhou carelessly.

Bucks leader Redd broke out suddenly after the sinking in the last game. He withstood Prince's defense and hit 4 three-pointers in the game. cover.

The Bucks, which opened up the offense, and the veterans gave a lot of help from the bench. Tony Kukoc, who played with Jordan in the world, scored 15 points and 9 rebounds. Sai's experience is still very useful.

In addition to the starting five, the Pistons' substitutes did not perform well today. The Pistons' substitutes only scored 11 points in the game, which is obviously a failure.

The game between the Pistons and the Bucks was an upset, but the game between the Spurs and the Kings was a sudden downturn for the Kings, which ended in a 20-point victory by the Spurs.

The Spurs are the bottom team in the league in terms of offense this season, and they basically rely on defense to win, but today they broke out suddenly. Ginobili led the Spurs' substitutes to play wave after wave of offensive climax , They seem to have forgotten the touch of shooting. They only hit 4 three-pointers in the whole game. You must know that in Princeton's system, the role of three-point shooters is very important. Without the deterrence of three-point shooters, the Kings simply cannot Play the Princeton tactic of "going through the back door".

The sudden downturn of the Kings is of course somewhat inexplicable, but the Hornets' sudden turnaround is also a shock. In the second game between the Hornets and the Heat, the Hornets only scored 48 points in 63 minutes. , The entire team's field goal percentage was less than 13%. Except for Baron Davis' poor [-] points, no Hornets player got double-digit data, including rebounds.

Facing such a Hornets team, the Heat will naturally not keep their men. 63 to 93, the Heat slaughtered the Hornets at [-] minutes at home.

The first two home games of the first round of the entire playoffs ended, and the strong teams won in each group, but there were also some upsets. The playoffs have just begun, and all the results are still unknown.

On April 4, the Mavericks left for Denver from Dallas, and on this day, the Eastern and Western playoffs also played one game each.

After returning to Memphis at home, the Grizzlies finally found some sense. Although the offense was still not very good, they played a high-intensity defense at home, which caused some trouble for the Lakers.

But the trouble is just trouble, with O'Neal and the old but experienced Malone and Payton, the Lakers can still rely on the star's personal ability to crush the opponent, 103 to 93, the Lakers locked the first round of the series match point.

In another matchup in the Eastern Conference, the Nets also locked the match point, 81 to 78. Although the Nets who crossed the river and came to New York also encountered problems in offense, the Knicks' chaotic tactical system still could not bring the team a victory.

4月23日，周五，步行者队105比85也是锁定了3比0的大比分。

After Artest returned to the lineup, Pierce was invisible again. The Pacers still won the game with a bunch of bench gangsters. The Celtics had already forgotten their championship background.

In the West, Houston, who returned to the home court, finally reaped a victory. Francis and Mobley, who were in poor form in the first two games, broke out collectively. Defensive general Cassell defended tightly, and the Timberwolves' offense also fell into singles.

102 to 91, the Rockets kept their first home game.

April 4, Denver Pepsi Center Arena.

Back at home, the Nuggets finally embarked on the right path. They put down their bodies and fought with the Mavericks.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets continued to attack the Mavericks inside and caused damage. Although the pace was slow, the Nuggets limited the speed of the Mavericks very well by fouling on the spot after losing a rebound.

Although it has been three days since I came to Denver, the plateau still has a certain impact on the player status of the Mavericks. Nowitzki got into foul trouble from the beginning of the game and had to leave the field early, and lacked the protection of the inside line. The defense isn't perfect either, and they've had issues with rebounding protection due to a lack of sheer height.

If it weren't for Liu Han's brave three-pointer and breakthrough in the first quarter, maybe the Nuggets would have opened the point difference to double digits.

However, after entering the second quarter, the Mavericks' bench suddenly exploded. Marquez Daniels, an undrafted player signed by the Mavericks before the All-Star Game this season, suddenly rose. Scoring 6 points on 6-of-5 shooting, the Mavericks instantly overtook the score.

In the second half, the Mavericks changed their previous offensive style and began to play a safe positional battle. Liu Han gave up the ball and played a low single. Nowitzki attracted double-teams from a high position. Odom held the ball at a 45-degree angle. The Mavericks played a triangle offense. .

Faced with the change of the Mavericks, the Nuggets once again showed their inexperienced flaws. This is only the second year that Buzederick has coached an NBA team, and his adaptability on the court is still not comparable to that of Nelson. Similarly, The Nuggets players also don't have much experience in the playoffs. They were beaten by the Mavericks' triangle offense in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets tried to counterattack to catch up with the score, but the Mavericks changed their defensive strategy to zone defense. They used the Nuggets' impatience to stick to the inside and let the Nuggets take shots. As a result, the Nuggets fell into the Mavericks' defense and the game was completely defeated. Lose the suspense.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Nuggets 109 to 98, and they also locked the match point.
