The game buzzer sounded and cheers erupted from the American Airlines Center.
The Suns' players happily stayed on the sidelines for interviews, while the Nuggets' players began to exit from the tunnel.
Li Yan was interviewed by domestic media on the sidelines, and his mood did not fluctuate much.
Li Yan first thanked the domestic fans for their support, and then expressed his determination. He said he would work hard to perform well to repay the fans.
"This is the true style of a general!" Director Zhang said excitedly in the studio: "Don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Li Yan's future is limitless."
"Can it reach the height of Kobe?" Yu Jia joked.
"Okay, absolutely okay." Director Zhang did not hesitate at all.
"Hey! Director Zhang is very optimistic about Xiao Li." Yu Jia said with a smile.
Director Zhang nodded: "Li Yan is more mature than the young Kobe, and his starting point is also higher. I believe in him."
Li Yan scored 16 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block today. Compared with the first game of the series, this data seems very ordinary.
Iverson scored 32 points, the highest score for the Nuggets; Anthony scored 27 points.
However, JR Smith only scored 6 points, and his shooting percentage was a tragic 2-for-12.
Camby had 8 points and 8 rebounds, and the best defensive player was named the "Eight Wise King" by "Little Bully" Stoudemire.
And Kenyon Martin, who was knocked down six fouls and left the game, has no "right to breathe."
The Nuggets chartered an overnight flight back to Denver.
Perhaps to lighten the atmosphere, Anthony said in the cabin:
"Brothers, don't be too sad. We won an away game. Now the advantage is on our side. After winning two home games, victory will be easy."
JR Smith echoed loudly, thinking Anthony was right.
However, Iverson didn't think so, and he was a little angry.
"Hey, JR, if you had made a few more open shots today, maybe we would have won. Of course, I don't mean to blame you. Everyone has bad times, but we have to adjust in time."
Iverson said: "Every game is a new beginning. Is there an advantage at home? I don't think so."
"Everyone needs to remember that we only need to lose three more games before we go home to fish."
"Will we have such a good opportunity next year?" After Iverson finished speaking, many people turned their attention to Li Yan.
"Uh!" Li Yan didn't expect the pressure to suddenly come to his side, but he still told the truth:
"Of course I am willing to fight with everyone. I am very happy in the Nuggets, but nothing is certain. I think focusing on the present is the most important thing."
Li Yan did not give a guarantee to stay in the team. He is not a person who will take advantage of others. That will only make him more annoying when the situation changes.
Iverson's following words made Li Yan look at him with admiration.
"I reached the finals 6 years ago and faced the powerful Lakers. Then in Los Angeles, I won G1. Everyone was touting me at the time."
"I thought I was the absolute protagonist. Then, everyone knew the result. I lost 4 games in a row, and finally lost the championship 1-4."
Iverson said sincerely: "Brothers, I don't want such a painful thing to happen again."
"I hope you can help me, please!"
Most people don't have the courage to reveal their "scars". Iverson's words moved JR Smith, who was a little emotional just now.
"AI, this is not your problem alone." Anthony was obviously a little excited: "We have all had enough of failure. I will do my best in the following games..."
George Karl watched everything happening in the cabin with great relief. Sometimes smooth sailing is not a good thing. Being able to make adjustments in the face of setbacks is commendable.
The Nuggets' charter flight quickly landed at the airport, and the players quickly left from the VIP channel.
The Nuggets have chartered buses to take the players home, and they will gather tomorrow afternoon to start preparing for the game.
Li Yan did not take the vehicle prepared by the team.
Taylor Swift was already waiting for him on the platform in her car. Li Yan looked at the time and saw that it was 22:28, which was totally in time.
Racing against time, as long as the time arrangement is tighter, two status cards are waving to him, and Li Yan hugs Taylor Swift who rushes over.
In the surprised eyes of his teammates, Li Yan patted Swift's round buttocks and said hurriedly: "Quick, drive!"
What nonsense, "Taylor Swift" blushed with embarrassment, are you so anxious?
Kenyon Martin was shocked: "Young man, you are so energetic!"
"Well, Li is really a good man." JR Smith said: "Actually, Taylor's figure is not as good as that of the girl in the nightclub yesterday..."
"Ahem!" Kenyon Martin interrupted JR Smith. This thing can't be mentioned again.
"Lee!" Iverson joked with a smile: "Take it easy, don't be late for training tomorrow!"
…………
Li Yan spent a fulfilling night with Taylor Swift, and both of them were very satisfied.
Li Yan did it because he received two status cards, and Taylor Swift did it because of Li Yan's performance.
Judging from the amount Li Yan gave him, it was obvious that he was not fooling around with other women, and "Taylor Swift" felt very happy.
The next afternoon, Li Yan showed up at the training ground on time.
To his surprise, the arena was packed.
"Lee, you're late!" Iverson joked: "Is Taylor so difficult to deal with?"
Li Yan looked at his watch and joked: "I don't usually see everyone so active. I'm not late, but AI, do you need training?"
"Hahaha!" Iverson was amused: "I've let the big words out, so I have to work hard. I don't want people to gossip behind my back."
The atmosphere in the training hall was very good, and everyone completed the warm-up before George Karl arranged the training content.
On the offensive end, the Nuggets' tactics have not changed much. What they need most is to adjust their state.
As for the defensive end, Camby and Kenyon Martin need to fight for honor. They were beaten by Stoudemire in the first two games.
Back at home, they have to be tougher.
Then Anthony also needs to increase his concentration on the defensive end...
Except for the series between the Nuggets and Suns, the other three series were not too intense, and they were all 2-0.
In the East, the strength of the teams is very clear. The Pistons and Cavaliers are obviously one step ahead of the Bulls and Nets.
As for the series between the Spurs and the Warriors, in front of the calm Spurs, the Warriors were no longer magical. They lost two consecutive games by a margin of 20+ points.
…………
May 13th, late.
The G3 game between the Nuggets and Suns is about to begin at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
The Nuggets fans in the stands were also well prepared. While they cheered for the Nuggets players, they also continued to "boo" to interfere with the Suns players.
After the appearance ceremony, the starting players of both teams stayed on the court, and the battle was about to begin!
