At their home stadium, PepsiCo Arena, the Denver Nuggets once again suffered a defeat.
And it was a complete defeat!
This forced the media who had previously supported the Denver Nuggets to shut their mouths!
The situation has become very obvious. The Denver Nuggets have fallen into a very unfavorable situation. No matter how tough they are, they have to admit the fact that in the history of the league's best-of-seven playoffs, there has never been a situation like this.
When a team falls behind 0:3
A successful comeback is even more miraculous than the 'Black Eight Miracle'. Black Eight Miracles have happened a few times. Although rare, they are well documented. However, a successful comeback under a 0:3 unfavorable situation is very rare in the league.
It's something that has never happened before in history.
If this kind of thing really happens, it can no longer be called a miracle, it should be called a miracle. Unless God allows the Lakers to suddenly suffer a large number of injuries, causing all the absolute main players of the Lakers to be unable to play, otherwise
No one thought that the Denver Nuggets could pull off four games in a row and win the series under such circumstances.
But is this possible?
If this kind of thing really happens, it can only be called 'God's joke'.
However, the Lakers are not the only team in the league that is close to sweeping the state. In the just-concluded game between the Heat and the Bulls at home, O'Neal was sleepwalking in the face of the Bulls' tough defense and could not find the feeling.
The defeated Heat were also forced to the edge of a desperate cliff, and taking one step back would be an abyss.
Last year's championship was now forced into such a situation. The dangerous form of the defending champion made people shocked, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. O'Neal was getting old after all.
That's right. He is old. The giant who dominates the inside is finally old, and the invincible 'big shark' cannot resist the magic of time. When you see O'Neal, who once dominated the inside and was unbeatable, in Big Ben.
When he looks old and helpless under the defense, when you look at him dragging his tired footsteps, the sweat on his face is like a stream.
When the heat flows smoothly, but the dull eyes cannot prevent the team from falling behind again and again, you have to admit that since ancient times, heroes are like beauties. They are not allowed to grow old in the world. Especially when the Heat's home court booed O'Neal,
Although O'Neal said nothing, the boos were so harsh that they almost pierced his heart.
O'Neal no longer has the ability, the strength, the physical strength, or the bounce to be able to carry a team forward alone.
In addition to the Bulls and Heat games, there are two series in the Eastern Conference that have a 3:0 situation. One of them is the Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic series. This is not very surprising. The Magic team just
The youth army that was rebuilt with the help of Howard is still very immature, although Warcraft is powerful.
But in front of the experienced and persevering Detroit auto workers, his brute strength could not find room to display. Although the Detroit Pistons lost Big Ben to guard the inside, even if they lost Ben Wallace, Detroit
The Pistons are still strong. They are still not something that the small Magic team can easily challenge.
Although the score of 3:0 was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
The other round of the series was a typical 'all caused by injuries'. Facing the Cleveland Cavaliers led by Little Emperor, the Washington Wizards were not without their strength, but the injuries of Arenas and Butler were not enough.
The head coach of the Wizards, Eddie Jordan, seemed to be stretched thin in terms of personnel. He had to call timeouts again and again in an attempt to adjust the team's lineup to change the unfavorable situation on the field. However, he sadly found that no matter how he adjusted, nothing happened.
Use it because he really lacks available people on his hands.
After losing the first two games, the Wizards returned to their home court and showed their momentum and initiative. During the whole game, they tenaciously equalized the score several times, but they could never hold on.
The advantage in their hands was because they really lacked players who could rotate. In the fourth quarter, the exhausted Wizards inevitably began to collapse. Even so, Wizards general Jamison still stood up tenaciously and tried to save the situation.
Continuous shots once helped the Wizards to hold on to the score, but other than him, the Wizards had no one else who could stand up.
In the end, although he scored a game-high 38 points and a double-double with 11 rebounds, he still could not prevent the team from losing. In the audience, Arenas, the No. 0 hero in a straight suit, had a smile on his face.
Seyin watched the game with a heavy heart. He touched his knees. Everyone could see how unhappy he was at this critical moment that he could only sit in the audience and watch.

In the eight-round series across the league, four of the four rounds resulted in an overwhelming 3:0 advantage. However, it was not these four-round series that attracted the most attention, but the first in the Western Conference vs. the eighth in the Western Conference, and the Dallas Mavericks vs. the Golden State Warriors.
State Warriors game.
Before the game started, I took a flight from Dallas to Oakland. Before getting on the plane, Mavericks star Nowitzki vowed in an interview that they would bring back two wins from the Oracle Arena and that they would "win in five games."
The series will end within a short period of time, and they will celebrate their promotion in the heart of American Airlines. The ruthless reality slapped him hard not long after, and Nowitzki was so slapped that stars appeared in his eyes.
In the past, the "Slam Dunk King" Richardson's performance in the first two games at the American Airlines Center was mediocre, but when he returned to the Oracle Arena, which he was familiar with, and with the cheers of the audience, the dunk king ushered in
It was an explosive day, scoring a game-high 30 points and 8 rebounds. Baron Davis scored 24 points and 5 assists, while Stephen Jackson scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
In terms of comprehensive statistics on assists, second-year rookie Monta Ellis also scored 14 points.
The Mavericks were defeated!
They defeated the Golden State Warriors in an away game with a huge margin of 18 points, 91-109. This not only turned Nowitzki's pre-game rhetoric into a joke, but also made the Dallas Mavericks' qualifying form even worse.
Got up.
Before the end of today's game, most people believed that the Dallas Mavericks would win the final victory of this series. The Golden State Warriors could only cause some trouble to the Dallas Mavericks at best. Just like they did in Dallas.
The Cowboys won the first game of the playoffs at American Airlines Arena. But after this game, people had to start thinking about the possibility of the Golden State Warriors winning the final series. The Mavericks and Warriors
The series has become more and more confusing before the game with everyone supporting the Mavericks. Now no one dares to easily predict the outcome of this series.
In addition, in the Eastern Conference, the third game between the Toronto Raptors and the New Jersey Nets has also been decided. In Toronto, the New Jersey Nets and the Raptors tied 1:1, and the old man was booed.
Dragon King's Carter can finally enjoy the cheers of the fans after returning to New Jersey. Under the cheers and encouragement of the fans, the demigod who was heartbroken by the Toronto fans showed his ruthless side.
!
With 37 points and 5 main attacks in the game, S-Carter was almost back to his peak. Especially a few big windmill dunks, which gave people a vague glimpse of the demigod style in his heyday!
In addition to Carter, the other two members of the New Jersey Nets' Three Musketeers also performed well. The 'triple-double king' Kidd once again had a triple-double performance, with 16 points, 19 shots, and 16 rebounds.
Triple-double. He acted as if the injury had not affected him at all. Jefferson also added the icing on the cake by contributing 18 points.
The game between the Suns and the Rockets also ended at 2:1. After returning to their home court, the Rockets finally regained a victory with their home court advantage.
The Spurs and Jazz also tied 2:1 in a battle between old and strong teams. In the first game, the Jazz unexpectedly took the lead in winning a victory at the Spurs' Ata Center Arena, but they failed to hold on to their advantage. They were defeated.
The Spurs have won two games in a row and currently trail the Spurs with a total score of 1:2.
Rest, train, prepare, and fight again!
Two days later, the playoff battle started again.
The first game was the Bulls vs. Heat. Dwyane Wade returned from injury, but he was unable to save the Heat from being swept. Dwyane Wade, who was in poor condition, even though he played injured, it was humiliating.
Enduring the defeat, at the Heat's home court, the Chicago Bulls completely defeated the Heat with a big score of 92-79, pushing the Heat into the abyss and completing the sweep.
The Heat became the first defending champion to be swept out in the first round since the NBA implemented the best-of-seven series, and Dwyane Wade also became the first Finals MVP to be swept out in the first round.
After this game, anyone who is not a fool understands that the Heat will definitely start to rebuild. The first thing they have to solve is O'Neal. If O'Neal is not sent away, the Heat will have no possibility of rebuilding with his huge contract. O'Neal will be traded next year.
His fate has been decided after this game. Although the door to transfer transactions has not yet been opened, various contacts and discussions have already begun.
Immediately following is the game between the Toronto Raptors and the Nets. This can be said to be the easiest game for the Nets in this series of games so far. From the beginning, the three Musketeers of the Nets took turns showing off their power.
First, Kidd's consecutive assists helped the Nets open up the situation, and then he hit two consecutive three-pointers to further open the score.
After the explosion in the first quarter, Kidd seemed a little quiet in the second quarter. But at this time, Carter stepped up and took over the game, taking frequent shots inside or outside. The Raptors' defense seemed like paper in front of him.
In one blow, in just the first quarter, the Raptors led the Raptors by a score of 32-15.
After finally waiting until the third quarter, Carter's condition began to decline. Jefferson, one of the three Musketeers who had always been relatively quiet, stepped forward and led the Nets to seize the score advantage and deny the Toronto Raptors.
Take any opportunity you can. With 3 minutes and 14 seconds left in the third quarter, Jefferson made a breakthrough layup. The Nets led 82-50 by 32 points. After three quarters, the Nets led 86-56.
There was no suspense about the outcome. Kidd and Jefferson didn't play in the last quarter. Carter played for a while and then left the game. The Raptors withdrew all their main players and announced their surrender.
While the Raptors and Nets were deciding the outcome, another game that everyone was paying attention to also decided the result.
The Warriors won two consecutive games at home, successfully extending the lead to 3:1 and seizing a key match point. The defending champions have been swept out of the game. The Dallas Mavericks, the league's regular season record, are almost the same. Now Dallas
The Mavericks have been forced to the edge of the cliff. All it takes is one more kick from the Warriors to send the Mavericks into the abyss.
The appearance of the Golden State Warriors has become clearer than ever before. Although the local media in Dallas still have a firm tone and believe that they should believe that the Dallas Mavericks can complete a comeback in three consecutive games from a 3:1 disadvantage, but those who support them
There are really too few people.
Many people have begun to consider a series of issues after the Golden State Warriors eliminated the Dallas Mavericks. Of course, there are no problems in the competition. Who advances to the second round, everything has procedures.
But there are also issues outside the game.
For example, the awarding of regular season MVP!
Although the league has not announced the candidate for the regular season MVP until now, the results of the reporter's vote have been revealed before that. In other words, unless the league goes back on its word, Nowitzki will be elected as the regular season MVP.
It's already a done deal.
Is it possible for the Alliance to go back on its word on this matter?
Maybe the sex is really small.
But the problem comes again.
Generally speaking, regular season MVP, one of the most important personal honors, will be awarded personally by the league president, David Stern. The awarding time is usually in mid-May, which is the first day of the regular season.
When the second round is in full swing, the trophy, which symbolizes one of the player's highest personal honors, is personally awarded to the player who won the MVP at the home court of the team.
If Nowitzki's Mavericks cannot advance to the second round, how will the league award this regular season MVP trophy, and how will Nowitzki accept this regular season MVP trophy? All of this has really aroused people's interest.
.
This kind of thing is not without precedent in the history of the league, such as the one with Moses Malone, or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, when he was elected MVP, the team did not even make the playoffs.
But since the 1990s, this kind of thing has really never happened again. Because there have been some changes in the league's criteria for selecting MVPs. In the past, the criteria for selecting MVPs was the personal performance of the players, and the one with the best personal performance was elected.
mvp. But it’s different now. Whether individual performance is good alone, the team’s record must also be outstanding, at least the top four in the East and West. The players themselves must be the core players of the team, and their performance must also be outstanding.
.
Various conditional restrictions have greatly reduced the possibility of MVP being eliminated in the first round, and also caused everyone to ignore the possibility of such a situation.
But now it's going to be dark.
No matter how low the possibility is, the alliance must start to consider ways to deal with this situation. (To be continued. You are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
