    There was not too much pre-game mobilization, the game reached the finals, and every team member's mentality has entered a natural state.

    Against the Pistons, the Nuggets players can be said to have been very well prepared. This can be seen in their first game against the Pistons. Although the game was difficult, relying on  With Anthony's superb performance in the fourth quarter, he scored 10 consecutive points and finally closed the game. It can be said that it slapped the experts hard in the face, but in this game, the Nuggets also encountered a heavy blow.  Blow, Brand accidentally sprained his foot while defending Rasheed Wallace!

    Brand had already contributed a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds before his injury. His injury was almost fatal to the Nuggets.

    So even if experts and reporters are slapped in the face, they still believe that in the next game, the Pistons will easily end this series.

    The next three games all illustrate this point. After Jefferson, who played strongly in the series with the Spurs, fell into the Pistons' iron barrel formation, he was obviously very uncomfortable. He was originally good at center.  The distance can't be used, and the effect of hard-hitting inside is obviously not as good as Brand's. The direct result is that the Nuggets are completely suppressed on the scene, and no three-point game has scored more than nine points.  Ten points, and even less than 80 points in one game. The Pistons defended them and turned them into a team that couldn't attack.

    Almost exactly as the experts expected, the Pistons won three games in a row and finally led the Nuggets 3:1 with a big score. In the latest round of EPSN exclusive interviews, all ten reporters interviewed agreed.  Some believe that the Nuggets will be eliminated, but as one of the reporters said, they all believe that the Nuggets will have a great chance to win the championship next year, and this is the tuition they should pay.

    However, what is different from the outside world who are looking down on the Nuggets is that the Nuggets players did not give up because of this. If the previous series with the Spurs was a competition of morale and tactics, then the current game is about will.  In the competition, although they lost all three games, the point difference in none of the games was more than ten points. They were holding a breath in their hearts and wanted to prove that they were not invincible, but just had bad luck.  They will never give up easily until the last moment.

    Anthony was very encouraged when he looked at the state of his teammates. He could actually feel it, and he clearly knew that facing a defensive team like the Pistons, without Brand as an inside attack point, what the team had encountered  The loss is immeasurable. It is basically equivalent to paralysis of the inside offense, and all the pressure is concentrated on the outside. For a team like the Nuggets that always advocates offense, it is basically equivalent to breaking an arm. The degree of difficulty can be imagined.  Knowing that his teammates could maintain such a mentality under such circumstances, he definitely did not expect it, but he was also very excited.

    In this situation where almost everyone looked down on them, but the players still had fighting spirit, the Nuggets ushered in their life-and-death battle at home at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

    The meaning of life and death battle is very clear. Before the game, whether it was Nuggets fans, local media, or even the team owner, they were all repeating this sentence, win-or-go-home, win or go home.  Going home, such a sentence is enough to explain the current situation of the Nuggets. They have reached the edge of the cliff with no retreat.

    At this time, pre-match incentives no longer have much effect. For the playoffs, it all depends on how the players adjust their competitive state in the next hour or two.

    There are still deafening shouts and roaring cheers from the fans. Even if they are on the verge of elimination, for a team that reaches the finals, the support of the fans will not be shaken by the performance of the home team.  And they have almost the same idea as the Nuggets players. They lose games within ten points, so they naturally don't feel that the home team is much worse than the away team.

    Before the game, Karl made personnel adjustments. He replaced the rookie Jefferson, who had performed poorly before, and moved Anthony to the power forward position. Korver and Ariza appeared on the court at the same time and began to play a thorough game.  Small lineup.

    Although this adjustment is a bit bold, in Anthony's eyes, it is a wise choice. The Pistons' defense is in the system, but the focus is still on the inside. They purely play a small lineup. Although the rebounds are likely to be blown up, the offense is  The space will be much wider.

    Once on the court, Anthony pulled to the outside several times to play pick-and-rolls with Ariza or Korver. He scored two three-pointers and two assists. The Nuggets got themselves a very good start in the fifth game.

    The Pistons called a timeout, then??Adjusted the defensive formation. Gerald Wallace's previous defensive area was mainly one step outside the three-second zone. Although the Pistons' head coach Larry Brown reacted a little slowly, he also let this player  The all-around power forward pounced, although it weakened the inside defense to a certain extent, but after Anthony received the ball, he faced the "Roaring God" who was bigger than him and not much slower than him. He obviously felt that he was not as comfortable as before.  .

    In several consecutive rounds, except for two painless mid-range shots, the other players on the court fell into the iron barrel formation as before. Just a few minutes later, the Nuggets players and fans again  After going through a stage where scoring was like twisting clothes, the players' mentality became somewhat impetuous, and the fans at the scene also booed the Pistons' defense.

    It's not that Anthony didn't try his best. After not getting a good chance from the outside, he rushed to the inside with Wallace to score several goals. However, such a score is not good for the overall misfired Nuggets.  It's really a drop in the bucket.

    Anthony was sitting off the court, sweating profusely and breathing heavily. He also lost his temper. He grabbed the towel in front of him and threw it vigorously in front of him. The live camera quickly captured this scene, and the fans at the scene were immediately stunned.  There was an uproar.

    What's worse is that as the game progresses, the Nuggets' lagging gap widens bit by bit, from 8 points in the second quarter to 18 points in the third quarter.  It seems to be heading for collapse.

    Reporters from various countries stationed at the scene, including those from China, felt that it was difficult for the Nuggets to have a chance to turn around. However, two people were still constantly analyzing the possibility of the Nuggets winning. These two people  , one is Anthony's old acquaintance Yang Yi, and the other is local Denver reporter and Anthony's lover, Lara Vasquez.
