Chapter 525: 2 losing streak

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets defeated the tyrannical Lakers. The championship fever in the eyes of the experts has also changed all at once. The Nuggets started to get ahead.
The two semi-finals in the Eastern Conference finally ended. The Bucks relied on Ray Allen's accurate three-pointer to destroy the giant killer Knicks in one fell swoop, and did not let the Knicks continue to play the dark horse role. In this game, Ray Allen also hit 9 three-pointers, tying the playoff record of 9 three-pointers created by Li Nan.
In another game, 87-88, the 76ers beat the Raptors by 1 point at home.
In the life-and-death battle, both sides fought very fiercely, and the hit rates of both sides were very impressive.
Carter, 6 of 20, only scored 18 points.
Iverson, 8 of 26, only scored 20 points. However, he has sent a season-high season assists with 16 assists.
In the last 8 seconds, it was Iverson's desperate three-pointer that opened the point difference to 4 points and directly killed the Raptors' hope of counterattack. Although Carter made a three-pointer at the buzzer in the end, there was no way to change the fact of failure.
At this point, the Aika war finally ended and Iverson had the last laugh.
And the confrontation of the Eastern Conference was also produced, that is, the 76ers vs. the Bucks.
For the top four teams, the experts also made the latest championship predictions.
Michael Wilbur of The Washington Post believes: "Denver Nuggets!"
"After a desperate fight with the Suns in the first round, the Nuggets found their form very well. In the second round, they swept the Dallas Mavericks 4-0 with ease, and in the first game of the Western Conference, they were even better. Defeated the Lakers effortlessly. And, let’s not forget, the Nuggets have two FMVP player Lee. Lee’s performance is getting more stable now. If we don’t look at his age, we all think he is a second-timer. Seventeen or eighteen years old guy. In him, I saw the shadow of Michael Jordan!"
Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune: "Denver Nuggets."
"Lee, Ben Wallace, Patrick Ewing, with them, this young Nuggets team lacks experience, but they can always get back on the right path quickly. As the FMVP two-game winning streak, Lee will definitely lead the Nuggets to the end."
Lacey Banks of The Sun: "Denver Nuggets!"
"The Lakers are not an opponent of the Nuggets. The 76ers could have been, but now it seems that they may not even pass the Bucks level. Allen Iverson's offensive desire is very strong, and his personal The score is indeed very, very much, but his teammates are out of touch with him. Although Alan tried to send a lot of assists in a few games, but we found that he can't take both points and assists into consideration.
In contrast, Li's handling of these is very good. He can score on his own and he can take care of his teammates. Moreover, Lee's defense is definitely the best one on the perimeter. Coupled with Ben Wallace, the best defensive player, the Nuggets' lineup is enough for opponents to drink on defense. "
Kent McDill of the Herald: "Denver Nuggets."
"The final team should be the Nuggets and the 76ers, but I support the Nuggets. The Nuggets copied the magic of last year's championship Pacers, and they even have a lot of backhand preparations of their own. Such Nuggets The team will definitely surprise us. As for the final result, we can only wait and see."
The media in many places are boasting about the Nuggets. The Nuggets that were belittled in the first round before, now they are praised as much as they are trying to praise the Nuggets and Li Nan.
At this time, the winning odds in the ball market changed suddenly.
1. Nuggets, 1 to 2.5
2. 76ers, 1 to 3
3. The Lakers lose 4 to 1
4. Bucks, 1 to 6
...
If you accidentally see the news, the Nuggets players can be even more volatile.
Bobby Jackson often talked about Lakers veteran guard Ron Harper and Fisher.
"These two guys, I just exploded them casually, it's not too simple. Even if you don't get a starter, we can still earn you face as a substitute."
Then, in Game 2, the Lakers exploded collectively.
82-112
With 30 points, the Lakers fatally beat the Nuggets.
The Nuggets even used the shark-cutting tactics, but it still didn't help.
O'Neal's free throws in this game reached more than 60%, and the Nuggets' shooting percentage was less than this number.
Except for Li Nan, who scored 13 of 28 and scored 34 points, the others felt cold, and none of them scored more than 10 points.
Bobby Jackson, who put down his harsh words before the game, played 24 minutes in this game, but only scored 4 points, a poor 4 points.
And Bobby Jackson's old, weak, sick and disabled Ron Harper scored 10 points and 4 assists.
Fisher even scored 20 points and 10 assists.
Of course, the main reason why the Nuggets lose is because of the OK combination.
The OK combination scored an explosive 78 points today.
Kobe Bryant scored 42 points on 18 of 34, O'Neal scored 14 of 24, 8 of 13 free throws, and 36 points.
After the Nuggets lost the game, the media also changed a lot.
It's the same group of people, and it's the same thing. They also immediately changed their conversation.
Michael Wilbur of The Washington Post, "The Lakers are also a strong contender for the championship, but the 76ers should win the championship in the end."
"Chicago Tribune" Sam Smith, "I said a long time ago, only the OK combination can play normally, the Nuggets are not opponents at all. However, judging by the erratic performance of these two Western teams, the 76ers may Stand out in the final chaos,"
"The Sun"'s Lacey Banks, "The Lakers just have been in the state for a little longer, but they will never let their opponents take advantage of it. Of course, what I am looking forward to now is the 76ers game. I I think their performance may be worthy of the championship favorite."
"Herald"’s Kent McDill, "Although the Lakers won ~EbookFREE.me~ but it is only 1-1 now. The Nuggets have home court advantage. I believe the Nuggets will definitely be The home game brought a fatal blow to the Lakers."
The odds in the ball market are also undergoing emergency adjustments.
The Nuggets have fallen to the same odds of 1 to 4 as the Lakers. The 76ers lose 3 to 1 and the Bucks lose 5 to 1, both unchanged.
...
The game continues.
The first battle of the Eastern Finals begins.
Surprisingly, the Bucks beat the 76ers 93-78 with 15 points.
The grudge between Ray Allen and Iverson started in college, and it was true that when I met Iverson, Ray Allen was ashamed.
Today's Ray Allen is the same. 15 of 24, 7 of 11 three-pointers, Ray Allen shot 41 points directly.
And Iverson played very uncomfortably under Ray Allen's defense today. He made 5 of 26 shots and scored 16 points. Very, very low shooting rate, so Iverson also had to choose to support his teammates more. Although he sent 11 assists, but Iverson lacked offensive firepower, then his threat to the opponent disappeared without a trace.
The Bucks "upset" defeated the 76ers, many experts also blushed and said:
"The Bucks really came prepared!"
Shameless, this is the expert!
As for the forthcoming third game of the Western Conference Finals, these experts were more cautious in their predictions.
"This will be a wonderful match, and in the end it is likely that the Nuggets will win with their home court."
"The Nuggets have a 77 home win rate this season. They also won the Lakers twice in a row at home during the regular season. This time the Nuggets should have a big chance."
"If the Lakers OK combination played the explosive state of the previous game, this game will be won in all likelihood."
