The Nuggets brought the Spurs into their own game rhythm and quickly erased the point difference.
"pause!"
Popovich couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.
The Pepsi Center was filled with joy, and fans shouted Li Yan's name into the camera.
They have fallen in love with this young man's style of play, and the "Chinese Magician" is well-deserved.
Unlike the "White Chocolate" who have one person holding the ball and nine others panicking, Li Yan's passing is very entertaining, but he rarely makes mistakes.
"WOW! It's amazing, it's simply art!" Smith exclaimed:
"Many young fans have not watched Showtime of the Purple and Gold Lakers in the 1980s, so you can take a look at the current Nuggets."
Smith spoke highly of Li Yan, and Barkley had no objection: "Li is a true point guard, and it is comfortable to be a teammate with him."
"Yes, there is no exaggeration this time, this guy is really a magician!"
Popovich roared on the bench. He asked the team to give Li Yan more strength. He hated this feeling of being beaten.
Many people think that Popovich likes to let off steam in the regular season, but that is an opponent that can be controlled.
The current Nuggets make Popovich feel more than in control, and he hopes to find a solution to the problem.
He doesn't want to leave the problem until the playoffs.
"Don't give him an easy chance to take action. Use your body to pressure him and give him a fight. This kid is not a superman."
For the Nuggets, George Karl recognized the performance of the players, especially Li Yan.
George Karl is actually a coach who likes to emphasize the overall situation. Anthony's too self-centered offense has always caused George Karl a headache.
Now under Li Yan's teamwork, the Nuggets finally play like a team basketball, which makes George Karl very happy.
However, after Anthony returns, how to adjust is also a problem facing George Karl.
The timeout ends and the game resumes.
The Spurs took the initiative to seek changes, and Tony Parker began to slow down the pace.
Duncan is the undisputed strength of the Spurs, and the Spurs are now starting to look for Duncan intentionally.
Parker and Ginobili had significantly fewer one-on-one drives, and most of the Spurs' offense passed through Duncan's hands.
During the offense, Duncan made a strong hit and caused Marcus Camby to foul.
Going to the free throw line, Duncan made a steady hit.
Nuggets offense.
As soon as Li Yan arrived in the frontcourt, he was pressed closely by Bowen.
Bowen didn't play cleanly. During the confrontation, he always used his knee to hit Li Yan's leg intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Yan was made uncomfortable. After passing the ball to Iverson, he set a screen with Kenyon Martin who was pulled to one side.
Li Yan, who got rid of Bowen, received the pass from Iverson immediately. Li Yan moved inside and threw the ball before Duncan could help defend.
"Toss? No, it's an alley-oop!"
Marcus Camby jumped high, without Duncan's interference, the second pick of the 1996 golden generation was finally able to show off his talent in the air.
"Boom!" The height of the pass was just right. Camby caught the ball comfortably and blasted the basket with both arms.
The Pepsi Center is on fire again.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
"With Lee's passing, the athleticism of Kenyon and Marcus finally comes into play."
"Wonderful performance, beautiful aerial connection!"
"The city of alley-oops, this is the city of alley-oops!"
Commentators from all walks of life were shocked by the Nuggets' gorgeous style of play, and the "City of Lobs" was called "Lob City"!
Spurs round.
Duncan and Parker played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Parker drove to the basket and deceived the Nuggets' interior defense with a "gyro spin".
Just when Parker was about to jump to finish, Li Yan once again shot out from the diagonal stab. His long arms covered the sky and fanned the "French Sports Car"'s layup out of the court.
After completing the block, Li Yan raised his arms and roared, skillfully using the group bUff "Wolf King's Roar", which greatly boosted the morale of the Nuggets team.
The broadcast footage spread this "iron-blooded" scene to all parts of the world.
"It's so passionate. Every time I see Li Yan raising his arms and roaring, my blood boils."
"Isn't this better than Garnett?"
"I couldn't control myself anymore. I just struck the iron while it was hot and rushed to the toilet."
"No, I just had a fight with my dog. It was too hot!"
"I like Li Yan so much!"
The fans were excited, and the Spurs players had a bad experience. They had just been yelled at by Popovich off the court, and now they were yelled at by Li Yan again.
There are ten thousand idiots in my heart who don’t know whether I should speak or not.
The Spurs' offense and defense don't have big problems, but the Nuggets played too well.
Next round.
When Li Yan was playing hand-to-hand with Iverson, Bowen knocked Iverson away.
"You stepped on the horse!" Li Yang was about to go up to ask for an explanation, but found that Bowen had already pretended to be innocent in front of the bald referee.
The Pepsi Center was filled with boos as fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Bowen's "dirty behavior."
Everyone knows that Bowen is the "evil" character in the Spurs.
The bald referee gave Bowen a foul. Although Iverson was angry, he couldn't get angry again.
The confrontation provided by the Spurs is very intense, and the Nuggets are naturally not a vegetarian.
For a time, the number of fouls soared and the game was fragmented.
Players from both sides began to frequently go to the free throw line.
Bowen elbowed Li Yan while defending. In the next round, Li Yan immediately hit Bowen's ribs hard in the "blind area".
Li Yan was not a good citizen. He never held grudges overnight. If he had any grudges, he would avenge them on the spot.
The commentators were also surprised by the intensity of the game. Barkley said frankly that the two sides were really fighting, which was more intense than some series.
The atmosphere at the scene was very exciting, and the fans were cheering for the Nuggets crazily.
Bowen seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. Despite the huge "boos", he was still making trouble everywhere.
The scores of both sides are rising alternately.
After giving Parker another big hat, Li Yan successfully completed the task.
"Ding! The host blocks Tony Parker's shots twice. The task is completed and Tony Parker's exclusive skill is rewarded: "Gyro Spin"."
Top spinning (beginner level): I am a spinning top.
Tony Parker's signature passing move is to stride over the first defender. When facing the inside defense, he quickly turns around and traps the defender behind him to complete the score!
Skill effect: After completing the turning action, the shooting percentage is increased by 10%.
Li Yan immediately learned the skill, and he had an understanding of turning around in his mind.
Li Yan once again enriched his "weapon arsenal". Although it does not improve himself that much, it is always good to have one more offensive method.
The game reached the middle of the fourth quarter, the score was 81 to 81, and the stalemate situation continued.
Li Yan's continuous changes of direction deceived Bowen, just when Li Yan adjusted his rhythm and prepared to attack the inside.
Bowen's whole body rushed towards him, his movements were very fierce.
Li Yan was knocked to the ground by Bowen. Bowen did not stop his feet, he stepped directly towards Li Yan.
"Fuck!" Li Yan was careless and did not dodge this time.
At this critical moment, the system spoke:
"Ding, it has been detected that the host is in danger of being injured and needs legitimate defense. The reward skill is: Five Lightning Whips!"
