Li Yan took the time to watch the game between the Lakers and the Suns, which was related to the Nuggets' opponents in the next round.
The G1 match between the Lakers and Suns was quite intense.
The two teams fought until the final moment, with Kobe Bryant scoring 39 points and the Lakers still losing by 6 points.
On the Lakers side, besides Kobe Bryant, the highest scorer was Bynum with 17 points; while on the Suns side, "Little Bully" Stoudemire scored 23 points, Steve Nash scored 20 points, and "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa 26 points, Shawn Marion 16 points.
Kobe only rested for 2 minutes in the whole game. In the face of double teams, he already performed well enough, but he was unable to defeat four hands with his fists.
Although Kobe is very strong, the Lakers and Suns are not on the same level.
If nothing else, the Suns will be the Nuggets' opponent in the next round.
In the afternoon, Li Yan accompanied Swift to the recording studio of Rogers, a local musician in Denver.
There, Li Yan and Swift tried out the new songs from Swift's album.
Li Yan's level is pretty good. Although there were some problems with his pitch at the beginning, he quickly adjusted it.
Rogers said to "Taylor Swift": "Taylor, your boyfriend has a very good voice and has great potential."
"Taylor Swift" held Li Yan's arm, her face full of pride: "Of course!"
The sour smell of love is in the air, and "Single Dog" Rogers said he was hurt.
After leaving the recording studio, Li Yan accompanied "Taylor Swift" to a shopping mall and then found a restaurant for dinner.
At the dinner table, the two talked about Li Yan's offseason arrangements.
Swift asked cautiously: "Dear, are you free to come to my concert during the offseason?"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes, I plan to spend as much time with you as possible during the offseason."
"Really?" Swift was so surprised that she covered her mouth: "Sorry, I'm too excited."
Seeing Li Yan staring at her with a smile, "Taylor Swift" said excitedly: "My dear, will this delay your activities?"
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter. I took a look and found that your concert starts on June 20. Even if I can win the championship, the competition will be over by then."
"In July, I will participate in several NBA summer league games with the national team; in August and September, I plan to return to China to start my personal trip; in October, I will return to the United States to prepare for the new season."
Li Yan asked: "Taylor, do you want to go back to China with me?"
"Ah?" "Taylor Swift" said with some surprise: "Can I do it?"
"It's nothing." Li Yan smiled and said, "My family is very good. China is big and beautiful. You will like it here."
…………
After spending a day with "Taylor Swift", Li Yan participated in the Nuggets' training camp as scheduled the next day.
George Karl is a pragmatic head coach, and he did not look down on the Jazz because of the huge gap between the two sides in G1.
The Nuggets are still polishing their tactics meticulously, and the players are also taking the time to restore their physical condition.
As a team with the O'Brien Cup as its ultimate goal, they need to pay more.
The second game was still very smooth.
118 to 93! The Nuggets scored another victory.
The Jazz adjusted their tactics in this game, and they gave Li Yan the treatment only a superstar can have.
Li Yan experienced Kobe's feeling. Even if he was on the outside with his hands on his hips, the Jazz would have a defensive player following him.
Chinese fans joked: When Li Yan smokes in the corner, the Jazz will arrange for a player to hand over an ashtray.
Facing the Jazz's frenzied double-teaming, Li Yan performed averagely.
12 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3 steals. The triple-double data seems a bit ordinary for Li Yan.
However, the Nuggets and Lakers are different. Li Yan does not have Kobe's ability to attack tough situations, but Li Yan's teammates are much more reliable than Kobe's teammates.
The "Golden Guns" scored 68 points together, "Melo" Anthony, the main attacker, scored 39 points, and "Answer" Iverson also scored 29 points.
The two eldest brothers were "feeling proud". With Li Yan being restricted, they carried the banner of the Nuggets' offense with their ferocious firepower.
After the game, "Melon" and "Answer" each gave a Versailles-style speech. For men, it is important to be realistic.
As an outstanding talent with higher education, Li Yan immediately became a super "praise". He had nothing to say, just gave the two eldest brothers a thumbs up and just started talking about it.
After G2 ended, the Nuggets immediately flew to Salt Lake City to adapt to the venue.
Leading 2-0, but the Nuggets did not relax at all. They just had fun in the press conference, but when it came time to prepare for the game, they did not relax at all.
Don't underestimate the Nuggets' desire for a championship trophy.
As far as the team is concerned, the Nuggets have yet to win a championship.
A member of the Nuggets and coach George Karl led the SuperSonics in the 1990s and the Bucks at the beginning of the century to reach the conference finals, but they were never able to go further.
"The Answer" Iverson's glorious career is only one championship trophy away.
"Melo" Carmelo Anthony also yearned for the championship after watching his good brother Wade win the championship last year.
Kenyon Martin has made it to the finals twice, but lost both times.
Marcus Camby, as the second pick of the 1996 golden generation, naturally wants to prove himself with a championship.
Among the Nuggets' starting five, Li Yan has the calmest mentality.
Li Yan has no obsession with the championship. What supports Comrade Li's desire to win is the tasks assigned by the system.
"Answer"'s extraordinary skills and speed attribute bonus of up to 10 points are simply not too impressive.
There are always fans wondering what would happen if Iverson could reach 198cm? Okay, now there is a 204Cm one, do you want to try it out?
…………
G3 between the Nuggets and Jazz is coming soon.
The Jazz, who were beaten by the Nuggets in Denver, have no way out.
If they can't bottom out at their home court, it will be a sure thing that they are eliminated by the Nuggets.
After all, no team has ever been able to come back from 3-0 down to win.
The Energy Arena was filled with Jazz fans, wearing uniform blue and white jerseys, and the entire stadium was a sea of blue and white.
When the Nuggets players entered the stadium, there were harsh boos from the audience.
This hostile blue sea, coupled with the unrelenting shouting, made the Nuggets players' scalps numb.
Although the altitude of Utah is not difficult for the Nuggets, Jazz fans still tried their best to put pressure on the Nuggets.
Fortunately, the Nuggets are all seasoned veterans, and the only "rookie" Li Yan is also a happy comedian.
Li Yan has his own unique way to decompress, which is to look at system data.
At this time, Li Yan was checking his system page.
Li Yanyue became more and more confident as he watched: Labor and management are at full level of passing control, and there is also an oversized "power bank" Jessica Alba sitting on the sidelines. What are you going to fight me with?
