"The Nuggets are still very strong in the new season. Winning the championship has allowed them to grow." Barkley said:
"This may be the foundation brought by the championship. They are now a championship team."
"Indeed, although Li Yan, who was the "brain" of the team, left, the Nuggets did not return to various obscure singles."
Smith said with emotion: "Ai has taken on the task of controlling the ball in the new season. He has done well, and so has Cameron. He has learned to play the ball, which is very important."
"Of course, the one who shocked us even more was the Knicks. Li Yan's arrival transformed them." Barkley explained:
"They defeated the Cavaliers and Lakers in the first two games, and now they played against the Nuggets until the end, showing their extraordinary potential."
"It's just that they rely too much on Li Yan. In the more intense playoffs, this will make the Knicks' fault tolerance rate somewhat low."
"But none of that matters now." Smith smiled: "Let's enjoy the game!"
The final battle begins soon.
The veteran coach George Karl on the sidelines was a little uneasy. No one knew Li Yan better than him.
Last season, the one who made George Karl feel most at ease in the Nuggets was not Allen Iverson or Carmelo Anthony, but Li Yan.
Li Yan is as stable as a "machine", he never makes a mistake.
But now, Li Yan has become an opponent, and George Karl must give him the highest treatment.
"Let me double-team him. Don't let Lee score anymore." George Karl yelled from the sidelines.
The Nuggets executed the tactics very resolutely. Li Yan got the ball very quickly. He gave the ball to Artest and then started running.
"Don't relax! Even if you don't have the ball in your hand, pick him up!" George Karl shouted immediately when Iverson turned around.
Iverson, who was about to let go of Li Yan, heard George Karl's order and surrounded Li Yan with Jr. Smith.
"Fuck!" Comrade Li was helpless. I didn't even have a ball in my hand! This defense is somewhat too much!
"The Nuggets have no chance of survival at all. Master Li has passed the ball, but there are still two people surrounding him."
"Haha, no one understands Master Li's power better than George Karl. It's normal."
"It's indeed a bit too much. I'm Master Li. You can go to the sidelines to drink water and see if Ai and Jr can follow."
"Drink water? Believe it or not, Jr. even screwed the bottle cap on for you!"
"Hahaha!"
Fans also chatted in domestic sports forums.
Li Yan took away two people, and the Knicks got a chance to play more and less.
The Nuggets shrunk their defense, giving Richardson a chance to fire from the outside.
Unfortunately, Richardson did not seize this good opportunity.
"Duang!" The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced up.
Marcus Camby protected this critical backcourt rebound.
George Karl immediately called a timeout to arrange tactics.
With 50 seconds left in the game, the Nuggets lead by two points.
If they score in this round, they will have a huge advantage.
Knicks bench.
Isiah Thomas was arranging tactics. He put Yi Jianlian back on the court, focusing on Yi Jianlian's defensive area.
"Zach, you go to the low post, Li Heyi is responsible for assisting in defense, Ron, Cameron depends on you."
"As for Ai, pay attention to your defense and let him challenge our inside line."
Yi Jianlian nodded vigorously. He benefited a lot from this game.
Pause back.
The Nuggets served in the frontcourt, and after transmission, the basketball came to Anthony's hands.
"Melo" Anthony is the Nuggets' strongest key player. At this time, giving him the ball is a wise choice.
Anthony and Artest's one-on-one, "Melo"'s continuous feints failed to deceive Artest's focus.
In this round, Artest showed the peak defensive state of his career. Facing the "offensive kaleidoscope", he gave a clean confrontation, excellent prediction and flexible foot movement.
"Wow! Ron Artest defended well." Barkley exclaimed: "Carmelo has no chance!"
"Ron is a d-poy, and his defense is not just a boast." Smith affirmed Artest's defensive skills.
While Anthony twisted away, he was also observing the situation of his teammates. The Knicks' defense was surprisingly tight. Iverson was quickly caught up by Li Yan after covering without the ball.
The chances were not good, and Melon did not panic.
Another point of the tactics deployed by George Karl is that it consumes time.
Anthony finally made a strong shot against Artest.
"Duang!" The basketball bounced out of the basket.
The Knicks' basket was in chaos. Kenyon Martin got the rebound, but before he had time to deal with it, it was taken away by Yi Jianlian on the side.
The situation on the court was changing rapidly. The Nuggets, who were preparing for a second attack just now, were now counterattacked by the Knicks.
Yi Jianlian threw the ball to Li Yan on the outside. The ball was a bit strong, and Li Yan rushed out with all his strength.
Iverson on the other side was chasing after him, and he and his former little brother launched a rapid chase.
Iverson is in good physical shape, his speed is not as good as his peak but still top notch.
If Li Yan is still in the same state as last season, he will undoubtedly be blown away by "Answer".
Unfortunately, after receiving the championship reward, Li Yan completed a comprehensive upgrade of his talent.
I saw Li Yan striding forward. He kept pace with Iverson from the beginning, and then quickly took the advantage.
Li Yan caught the basketball, took the ball forward and started immediately.
Iverson behind him looked at Li Yan taking off and smiled helplessly.
Taking off his feet, Li Yan soared into the air.
He rounded his arms and said, "Boom!"
A one-handed chop that shocked everyone!
122 to 122! The two teams were tied again.
"Wow! Yi's steal is very important and his reaction is very quick."
"Indeed, if the Nuggets score this goal, the game will basically be sealed."
"Li's speed is so terrifying, he just overtook Ai."
"Ai himself laughed. When he looked at Li Yan, he must have thought of himself back then."
"There are 27 seconds left on the clock and the two teams are tied again."
"Both teams each have an opportunity to attack, which is really exciting."
Barkley and Smith felt like their hearts were beating out of their chests. This game was indeed exciting.
The Nuggets had no timeout, and Iverson held the ball through halftime.
Richardson went to defend and was knocked away by Iverson.
Li Yan made up the defense, and Iverson hit the ball directly.
The basketball was given to Jr. Smith on the other side of the three-point line.
Richardson pounced desperately, and Jr. Smith took a lucky step to avoid Richardson's defense.
One is two points long.
"Whoa!" Hollow entered the net.
122 to 124!
There were 13 seconds left on the clock and the Knicks trailed by two points.
