Chapter 127 Never Stop at the Port of Denver

"Why can't Black Eight?" - This is Ludlin, the sports columnist of the Denver Post. Brown wrote the title of the article in his column, which refers to the Los Angeles Clippers, who played against the Denver Nuggets four days later.

[If the regular season champion is the championship, then there will be no Black Eight miracle. Miracles come from hard work, and hard work comes from possibility. Denver has a rare insider height and strength in the league. Kenyang will tell the Clippers what a perfect power forward is. Maybe when they face Kenyang is unprehensed. I will regret the difference in my inside defense. The inside of the injury is undoubtedly the best center in the league. Tyson Chandler's defense pays more attention to moving and co-defense. Especially in the face of the powerful insider Tyson Chandler's defense will immediately become overstretched, and the inside will not only play harder in the inside. His flexible footsteps may be Tyson's nightmare. Although Marcus is old, he can still contribute his defense and rebounds to the team in the inside of the Clippers. Since ancient times, the insider has won the championship, even now, even if there is Grant before the Bulls and Rodman. In addition, Cameron will tell Ron how slow his pace is. Cameron, who can average 28 points per game, will continue his scoring journey under the close watch of the Clippers. Changxi has never been a player who attracts 100% of the attention of fans, but he will give you a fatal blow at the critical moment. This season's Chang West is more aggressive on the offensive end. Can Andre Miller and her young teammates resist it? In any way, I only see the strength of one person, that is, Lin Fei. I never deny his super personal strength, but I can't represent the whole team. Dallas in 2008 will be an example for the Clippers. Are you trembling?] Ludlin's article undoubtedly put the idea of the Nuggets' Black Eight completely on the table.

"Cameron, what do you think about the team's efforts to stage the Black Eight Miracle? Do you have the confidence to perform miracles?" A murderous female reporter squeezed into Anthony for an interview!

Anthony's eyes swept over the Wei'an's murder weapon and said with a smile, "Such a beautiful lady, everyone wants to win. Although our record is only the eighth in the regular season, this does not mean that we will raise our hands and surrender. If everything is carried out according to the ranking, we can consider preparing ourselves for fishing. This is not the case. Our predecessors have done it. We hope that we can do it today. Even if it is difficult, we will work hard for it, because we have a heart to work hard.

Anthony's words directly brought out the Jedi counterattack staged by the Clippers led by Mutombo and the elimination of Supersonics by the Black Eight, which further confirmed his idea to the media.

On the other hand, the Los Angeles Times, as the guardian of Los Angeles sports, will naturally not sit idly by in the face of the Denver Post. In terms of circulation and influence, the Denver Post is far from the Los Angeles Times.

Black Eight? It's not dark yet!" - This is the headline of the Los Angeles Times, and the Los Angeles Times columnist Mark Heisler directly gave the anti-position analysis of the Nuggets and the Clippers.

Coach duel: Mike. Dunleavy VS George. Carl, this is a teaching of the art and wisdom of court command!

Mike Dunleavy has worked as a coach for nearly 20 years. This is not a particularly long number. He has won the best coach in the finals and is good at tapping the team's internal potential. The progress of this season is obvious. The on-the-spot command is praised by everyone. He is the best coach of the season. The style is balanced, and the tactics are rich.

George Cal has coached more than Mike Dunlivid for six years. The team's winning rate ranks 12th in the history of coaches. He is an offensive coach with a persistent offensive coach. He has become the best coach in the league three times. He is good at attacking but has little control over big players. In recent seasons, the fight against cancer has affected him. His coaching prestige, but there is no doubt about his coaching spirit, and he is not doing a good job in defense.

Final coach position evaluation: Mike Dunleavy = George Carl Leader Showdown: Lin Fei VS Cameron Anthony This is a contest between two super scoring machines!

Lin Fei's arrival at the Clippers since last season has brought incredible strength to the team. The pressure brought to the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs last season will be more fully reflected in this season. His three-point and running position are equal to the existence of no solution. Denver will become extremely difficult to defend Lin. After two seasons Growth Lin has become more and more mature. When the team needs him, he has postponed, has a super big heart, and the defense has become stable. The individual has become omnipotent when maintaining efficient offensive pressure. Inexperienced in the playoffs, the defense will be seriously tested in the playoffs.

Anthony, please allow me to put him in the leader's position. This year is his fifth trip to the playoffs. Four times before the first round may become his great motivation. The offensive end is also unsolved. The rich offensive means make it difficult for defenders to defend, and they also have a huge heart. The critical moment is trustworthy. Lai's guy, he needs to make greater efforts on the defensive end. Sometimes he is too single-working and easy to lack reason. He is easy to be depressed when encountering strong defense, but in the last few seconds, his heart will be particularly strong. Artest will test Anthony. The ability to distribute ball rights is still being learned.

Core Comprehensive Evaluation: Lin Fei > Anthony's Rest of the Duel:

(1) Main lineup main combat strength:

Andre Miller + Ron Artest + Tyson Chandler VS Champsy Billups + Neine Hilaryo + Kenyan Martin Often the key to the team's victory is not the core leader but the main players, they play a key role!

The role of Andre Miller Ron Atester in the Clippers' starting lineup is so obvious that I can't prepare who is the second leader of the Clippers. Ron's offensive firepower was undoubtedly in Sacramento last season. After the Clippers in the new season, the scoring reduction has become greater. He needs to help the team solve it. The main offensive point of the opponent. In the past, he was a risk factor of being a grumpy team. Maybe he will have a fever. I don't seem to see Ron like that this season, but this doesn't mean that he has completely become that Ron. On the defensive end, he is still the most worried existence of this league striker swinger, although he His pace is not flexible enough, but his strong body is his capital, and Cameron Anthony's scoring ability will test Ron's defense.

If Lin is the attacker of this team and the core of this team, then Andre Miller is the controller of this team. He is like a helmsman to help the aircraft carrier Los Angeles move forward. He is an underestimated superstar, and the shortcomings of long-range ability will be released in the playoffs. Big, but despite this, the Clippers need his organization. His attack will be the biggest support for the Clippers besides Lin.

Tyson Chandler, the core of this team's inner defense, his existence is not a simple rebound or block data can be reflected. He is an indispensable existence of the team. Although he is sometimes beaten into a strong inside, Tyson is the kind of player who can make the team better. The Clippers' defensive efficiency is a game. Ji Gao ranked first in the league. Although it is not his own credit, the decline in the score rate of the insider given by the statistics is the best praise for him. When he is present, the Clippers' rebound efficiency will soar sharply. The Brazilian in the playoffs will test him, and Tyson will prove it in his own way. On the offensive end, he is the most efficient scorer in the league, and he will always be the neglected existence.

Changxi Billups, I think he is the real leader of this team, but I still list him here because he is low-key enough, but low-key is scary. He also has a super big heart, and his offensive ability has been further developed in these two seasons. His defense is also terrible, even if he has never He has been selected for the best defensive team. The confrontation between him and Andre Miller will be exciting. His control over the team is not reflected in the assist data. His rich playoff experience will be the Nuggets' biggest support.

In the Brazilian, he is one of the best centers in the league to get rid of injuries. With excellent physical fitness, he has flexible inside movement, but his hot temper is a fatal defect and even affect the victory of the whole team. His shooting ability is a little weak, and his defense and rebounds are not very good at data. Height will be his biggest disadvantage. Although he looks six feet and eleven inches, everyone knows his actual height. You should know that Tyson is seven feet and an inch.

Kenyang Martin, the former bouncer has become the support of the Denverers' inside line. Fierce defense and rebounding are one of the sources of the team's victory. No one can fly when he was young but has practiced his excellent midfield shot. The range of attack has expanded from the three-second zone to one step within the three-point line. His inside firepower will help the Brazilian. Find more insider opportunities.

(2) Substitute duel:

Wilson Chandler + JR Smith + Steve Novak + Mario Chalmos + Roy Hibbert VS Chris Anderson + Anthony Carter + Linus Creza This is an almost no suspense comparison. The strong substitute strength of the Los Angeles Clippers has been proven in the regular season, young and rich. The impact is the guarantee for the Clippers to win. Wilson Chandler came to the bench from the starting line-up and did not lose confidence. He became the leader of the second team. If there were not too few substitutes in this season, he would have become the best sixth man. JR Smith's biggest reliance on the Nuggets substitute last season. When he came to Los Angeles, he did not lose ** because of the reduction of playing time. He is still the scary nerve knife, but the knife is getting sharper and sharper, with an average of 2.5 three-pointers per game, ranking fourth in the league, with a three-point shooting rate of 47.3%. Steve Novak is a tall and large battery. He will Making the Nuggets' substitute lineup defense more difficult, he found his home in Los Angeles, averaging 8.2 points per game in the regular season, of which 6.3 points came from three-pointers. In 82 games, he delivered 172 three-pointers to the Clippers, and the 55.7% three-point shooting rate was second only to Lin Fei, an efficient way. People are afraid of the striker. I think all the team's general managers will close their mouths that once ridiculed Nell Orshu for giving 12 million in four years. Mario and Roy won the treasure in the Clippers draft, if they were the main force of the Clippers.

For the Clippers, the lack of experience as a substitute may be a big problem. Whether the popularity of the regular season can continue into the playoffs remains to be proved.

If the Clippers' substitute needs to be proved, the Nuggets' bench will be more difficult. It is an indisputable fact that Anthony Carter is old. In the face of young Mario and Golan, his pace will become slower. Chris Anderson is still the best blocker. He is still weaving an inside line for the Nuggets. District, but where is his attack? Do you expect his three-point shot to bring a 100% hit rate? Kreza is the biggest support for the Nuggets. The Lithuanians can attack and defend, but his speed and movement make his defense difficult, and the offensive end will be warmly entertained by Wilson.

The competition of the second lineup often determines the final fate of a team, and the Nuggets are obviously at a disadvantage, which will directly lead to the physical crisis of the main players on the field.

The substitute won the Los Angeles Clippers.

Finally, combined with various evaluations, the Los Angeles Clippers 4:2 Nuggets are predicted.

There is no doubt that the prediction of this column is reasonable and well-founded and has been approved by many people. In the voting choices of major media, the Clippers and the Nuggets' final record of the Clippers accounted for 48.8% with 4:2, the Clippers won 4:1 for 24.7%, as for 4:0 for 7.5%, and the Nuggets won 4:3 for 1 0.5%, 4:2 wins 4.5%, 4:1 wins account for 4.5%, the Nuggets 4:0 sweep the Clippers only 0.5%, and the Nuggets are not favored from the perspective of fan survey.

The hot spots of the media are not only limited to this round of duels. Each group of duels have attracted the attention and participation of countless people. It seems that the whole world has spent a few days in a war of words.

The end of the last training before the game was the media interview time. Tyson Chandler had a lot more reporters in front of him than usual, just because he came to Los Angeles the day before and said, "I will take advantage of their weaknesses, and I will do everything possible to show my toughness."

"Tyson, Hilaryo said he would show his toughness in front of you. How would you respond to him?"

"I need to do my own thing. I know what I'm here to do. I know I'm here to defend. I want to protect the basket and get the rebound. I want to get extra shooting opportunities for the team. As for his ideas, I don't need to comment or comment. All I know is that if we can play well at both offense and defense, then the sky is our limit.

After saying that, Tyson Chandler pushed the crowd away and walked into the bathroom. The expression on his face was obviously different from when he first started the playoff training. At that time, the three major insiders of the Clippers always had worries on their faces, but now he is relaxed.

In the hour before the start of the first round of the playoffs, all the war of words interviewed by the media seemed to have reached **, "Mr. Cameron, this will be your fifth playoff journey and the fifth playoff journey into the league. You have said goodbye to the first four times in the first round. This time you have made up your mind to fight for a sudden Breaking the first round, can I understand what you mean in this way - this sentence means that you have enough confidence to complete the Black Eight? ESPN's beautiful reporter Erin Andrews was the first to reach the microphone in front of Anthony.

Anthony seems to be a kind person. Although he was praised as the next generation of superstars when he first entered the league, his off-field and on-court names led to his being thrown away by James. Although Anthony has been able to control his temper well this year, Andrews is undoubtedly poking him at this time. The wound is absolutely not allowed by him. "Irene, there are always bad times. Tracy and Kevin have been in the first round more times in a row than me. They can break through. Why can't I?"

"Cameron, you mean that Tracy and Kevin are in front of you, so you are not worried that you will not be able to make the second round in seven years, right? Will this make Tracy and Kevin dissatisfied? Andrews pressed step by step, and Anthony felt bad in his heart. Obviously, he involved McGrady and Garnett, but the superficial work still needs to be done. He replied with a smile, "No, no, I mean it's very simple, that people will make a breakthrough as long as they work hard, and never give up is the best. Yes!"

"Lin, do you think you will win today's game?"

Lin Fei looked at the reporter in front of him and said with a smile, "Why not? We just fight for victory. We won't let the fans come back with disappointment. I have the best teammates, the best coaches, the best fans and the best venues. Is there any reason why I don't win?"

"What do you think of Anthony's black gossip?"

"I don't want to comment, because it's an impossible event." After saying that, Lin Fei also pushed aside the reporters around him and walked into the bathroom.

When George Carr was about to walk into the visiting team's locker room, he was stopped by a group of reporters. "George, what do you think of the media's prediction? Their analysis is appropriate. Is it really impossible for the Nuggets to achieve the Black Eight miracle?"

Prediction? Before every game, there are stupid people who make predictions. I don't know where their predictions come from. I hate things that seem real but ridiculous. If predictions work, I should be in the cold earth now. You should also stand in front of my tombstone and pray instead of interviewing. The old man is still anti-cancer, and even uses his miracle of anti-cancer to counter the prediction of the media.

"Charles, the game is about to start in half an hour. You have been fighting on the front line of the Nuggets and Clippers in recent days, supporting the Clippers without exception. Now that the game is about to start, aren't you going to say something?" Mark Jackson asked with a smile.

"Damn it, I don't like to make any meaningless comments. You should know what I mean. The Clippers will easily sail to their destination instead of staying in the port of Denver." Barkley was indignant.

"Mark, everyone knows that Charles only loves Lin!" Once Van Gundy showed his humorous side.

In the chat in the commentary table, the first game of the 2008-2009 season playoffs officially kicked off, and all the war of words before the game will be tested here.
