On May 1, 2008, the Pepsi Center, home of the Denver Nuggets.

Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs between the Denver Nuggets and Seattle SuperSonics is underway.

There were more than 20,000 Denver fans at the scene, cheering crazily for the Nuggets players on the court.

At the same time, Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl kept pacing the sidelines and urging the court.

This series started 3-0 and now leads 3-2, and it got anxious in the most critical sixth game. This made George Karl really confused!

Even though he lost Game 5 in Seattle in the last game, George Karl never thought that Game 6 of this series would turn out like this!

You know, he is prepared to win this game!

It is impossible for s to be in excellent form for six consecutive games, it is impossible for s to be in full form in every game, and it is impossible for the Denver Nuggets to not have other players except Anthony break out in every game!

You know, in addition to Anthony, the Denver Nuggets' outside players also include Billups and Hamilton!

These two players are also the kind of players who can break out at any time!

As long as such a player breaks out in one of the remaining four games, the Denver Nuggets will win!

But after 3-0, it was already the third quarter of the third game, but neither Hamilton nor Billups, whom he had high hopes for, could break out in the playoffs!

The performance of these two people on the court seemed to be controlled by a pair of invisible hands.

The performance of these two people in this round of the series is completely under the control of these big hands, and it completely depends on the needs of these big hands!

This is a very crazy and incredible feeling.

Of course, George Carl knew that his feelings were wrong. No one in this world can control other people except God.

But this mysterious feeling made his current heartbeat unable to be described as a normal rhythm.

After leading 3-0, he lost a game. He felt that it didn't matter. The advantage was still huge. The Nuggets only needed to win one game to advance.

Even if the Nuggets lost the second game in the last game, he didn't worry too much. The Nuggets still have a home court. Returning to their plateau home court, the Nuggets can always beat the SuperSonics.

The Nuggets, who are superior in strength, status, and all aspects, have no reason to lose to the same team three times in a row!

But now

Watching the scores on the court that are constantly alternating with each other, George Karl believes that there are definitely no longer a few Denverites who have the same chills as him now, or even the majority!

The importance of this game to the Nuggets is self-evident.

Win, everything is fine.

lost

George Karl couldn't even imagine how dark the whole world would become if he was finally eliminated by the SuperSonics 4-3 with a 3-0 lead!

Not only he didn't dare to think about it, but his players, his fans, his city, and everyone who supported the Nuggets didn't dare to imagine the consequences!

Therefore, in the most important sixth game between the Nuggets and SuperSonics, the Nuggets' tactics were to take the lead from the bottom of the game from the beginning. After being chased 2-3 by the SuperSonics, the Nuggets needed a sense of security.

of!

This kind of security of leading by a big score is what the Nuggets need most right now.

But from the beginning of this game, S and the SuperSonics did not give his Nuggets any sense of security!

86 to 90!

Seeing S on the court, despite the almost extreme defense of Hamilton and Billups, still steadily hit three-pointers, opening the difference between the two sides to 4 points, George Karl's heart seemed to have been violently knocked.

The Denver Nuggets can't defend s!

From the beginning of this series, the Denver Nuggets have proven that s is an unsolvable point for them.

In the first three games, the reason why they only allowed S to score over 30 points was entirely thanks to Durant's defense.

Durant did a great job defending S.

Although Durant's defense has been very good in the last three games, other Sonics players have not done so well in defense.

Durant's opportunities on the court have not decreased, but other Sonics players have greatly reduced their ball rights and shots on the court.

With the ball and shot rights increasing dramatically, his strength was so powerful that George Karl even felt a deep sense of despair!

"The score difference in this game has once again widened to four points, and it is still the same four-point difference between S and SuperSonics!"

"The Nuggets request a timeout again. George Karl and the Nuggets absolutely cannot accept the point difference in this game being more than five points now!"

"The score difference within five points in this game is what George Karl believes is the bottom line of the Nuggets players' psychological defense!"

"S is constantly stimulating and torturing the psychological bottom line of the Nuggets players!"

As soon as the score reached four points, George Karl asked for a timeout, and then continued to massage and comfort his disciples in front of the bench.

Seeing such a scene, Barkley really didn't expect that he would appear on the Nuggets' bench!

You know, after the Nuggets led the Seattle SuperSonics 3-0, he always felt that he could see S and Nelson comforting and psychologically massaging the SuperSonics players in every game.

Not only does he think this way, but others do too, and even many black media and experts are ready to collect the desperate gestures of losers like S and Sonics players!

But what makes these people very disappointed is that whether they are trailing 0-1, 0-2 or even 0-3, S and his players are extremely calm!

So calm that it didn't even look like a team that was down 3-0.

The incredible mental state of the Seattle SuperSonics players has always been one of the biggest wonders of this series.

Originally, the whole world thought that the Seattle SuperSonics players should be desperate.

After all, it’s already 0-3.

But these guys didn't show any signs of despair.

Now, the feeling of despair actually appears on the Nuggets, who just led 3-0 not long ago!

Barkley didn't think he was delusional, he really saw the aura of despair from the Nuggets!

It's not just Nuggets head coach George Karl who is in a state of panic right now.

Even Billups and Hamilton, who are supposed to be the most stable and tenacious players on this team, are already feeling desperate!

"We are here to defeat S in this series!"

"Defeating the s is one of our biggest goals here!"

"Now it's time for you to see the real us!"

Thinking back to the words of Billups and Hamilton as this series progressed, Barkley felt like he was in another world!

Are the two Nuggets players who were in a daze after being thrown on the court in this game really Hamilton and Billups?

If it weren't for the fact that the appearance characteristics of these two people are indeed very conspicuous, he really doesn't want to believe that these two outstanding Pistons will one day look like they are going to collapse!

However, when he thinks about the magical shots he made in front of these two people in these six games of this series, Barkley understands and sympathizes with the desperation of Hamilton and Billups.

Every time, Hamilton and Billups defended S in place!

To outsiders, the two men's defense against S in this series was simply perfect.

But S can score in front of these two people and keep scoring!

From the first game to the fifth game of the previous game, according to statistics, when facing these two people, S's hit rate could even reach 80%!

What level of hit rate is this?

This is almost equivalent to s beating the air when facing them!

Obviously these two people's defense on the court has been so perfect and worked so hard, but the final result is just air!

This really makes people feel doubtful about life!

And this feeling of doubting life is not once, twice or three times, or even four, five, six or seven times, but countless times!

s's offensive style when facing Hamilton and Billups was so exciting!

"Chauncy, Richard, your defense is perfect, you have done the best you can!"

"Whether it's offense or defense, I'm very satisfied with your performance!"

"Yes, this situation has put the Denver Nuggets into the most dangerous and terrifying situation, but it is not your fault. Even if the worst thing happens in the end, I will bear all the responsibilities!"

"Guys, this game requires us to put down everything and fight hard!"

George Karl was shouting hard, while Carmelo Anthony, the head player of the Nuggets, was dumbfounded and kept looking back and forth at his teammates.

Looking at these heavy-minded teammates, are they really the high-spirited guys a week ago?

Anthony still doesn't understand why things suddenly changed so drastically.

A week ago, they were the giants, and the Sonics were the little kid in front of the giants.

But now, a week later, the Sonics and S have become giants, while he and his teammates have become little brats!

At the beginning of this game, they really wanted to quickly get rid of S and Sonics.

But the strength shown by S after the game started really shocked them.

Now the three quarters of the game are not over yet, S has already scored 40 points!

Not only did he score 40 points, but he also provided 12 assists!
