Chapter 593: Hamilton and Billups Were Spoiled

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.

More than 20,000 Denver fans were 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 preparing to win this game!

It is impossible for Yes to be in excellent form for six consecutive games, it is impossible for Yes 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!

It's a very crazy and very incredible feeling.

George Carl certainly knew that his feelings were wrong and that no one in this world could control anyone but 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 it didn't matter, the advantage was still huge.

The Nuggets only need one win 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, state, and all aspects, have no reason to lose to one team three times in a row!

But now...

Looking at the scores that are constantly alternating between each other on the court, 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, all is well.

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 a big lead is what the Nuggets need most now.

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

86 to 90!

Seeing Yes 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 Yes!

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

In the first three games, the reason why they only allowed Yes to score in the early 30s was entirely thanks to Durant's defense.

Durant did a great job defending Yes.

Although Durant has done a good job defensively in the last three games, other Sonics players have not done so well against Yes.

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

Yes, whose ball rights and shot rights have increased dramatically, are so powerful that George Karl even feels a deep sense of despair!

"The point difference in this game has once again widened to four points, and it is still the same four points that Yes and SuperSonics have widened!"

"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!"

"Yes 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 Yes 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 "loser's despair" gestures like Yes and Sonics players!

But what makes these people very disappointed is that whether they are trailing 0-1, 0-2 or even 0-3, Yes 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 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 the Nuggets head coach George Karl who is in a state of panic right now.

Even Billups and Hamilton, who should be the most stable and tenacious players on this team, already have a feeling of despair on their bodies now!

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

"Beating Yes is one of our biggest goals in the NBA!"

"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 by Yes 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 were very conspicuous, he really wouldn't want to believe that these two outstanding Pistons would one day look like they were about to collapse!

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

Every time, Hamilton and Billups defended Yes in place!

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

But Yes 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 ESPN statistics, Yes's shooting percentage could even reach 80% when facing these two people!

What level of hit rate is this?

This is almost equivalent to Yes punching 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, not even four times, five times, six times or seven times, but countless times!

Yes'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 take all the responsibility!"

"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 looking back and forth at his teammates in stunned silence.

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 brats in front of the giants.

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

When this game started, they really wanted to get rid of Yes and the Sonics quickly.

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

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

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

It can be said that most of the points scored by the Sonics, except for the substitutes of the Sonics, are related to Yes.

But this is of course, so far in this game, the other three Sonics starters have had very few shooting opportunities.

Milicic only took 3 shots, Millsap took 4 shots, and Rondo only took 1 shot.

Most of the Seattle SuperSonics' shots in this game were focused on Durant and Yes!

Most of Durant's points came from Yes's assists.

It can be said that since this game has been played, Yes's powerful strength that has dominated the entire game has caused great psychological pressure on the Nuggets.

Especially the extremely powerful way Yes faced the defense of Hamilton and Billups in singles.

It really means no pick-and-roll, no cover, no misplacement, no dodge, just fight when you see it!

You are really using Hamilton and Billups, the two Nuggets' best defensive players, as air!

With Yes's performance in this game, the psychological advantage established by the Nuggets players in the first three games was instantly wiped out.

This will give the Nuggets players the illusion that the reason why they were able to lead the Sonics 3-0 in the first three games was not because of their own strength, but because of Yes's permission and Yes's gift!

This feeling is very bad!

Even if Anthony knows that this is not the case, he will still feel that this feeling is very bad!

He had never believed that his best friend was such a manipulative guy.

Just like he never believed that his best brother James was a calculating boy.

only……

Anthony was really shocked when he saw Billups and Hamilton, whose moods were still not much improved despite the comfort of the team's head coach George Karl.

These two people are not young people, and these two people are really not good friends!

Before the start of this series, they had always been representatives of the league's iron-bloodedness and tenacity!

They have faith!

But their long-standing defensive belief completely collapsed in this series!

They really look like they were screwed by his best friend now!

Anthony looked away from his two teammates and looked at the bench on the other side.

Anthony seemed to feel that Yes on the other side was also looking at him.

Ye Si is indeed looking at Anthony now.

This game is the sixth game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, and it is also the most important game he planned!

After the previous three games, he has put Durant's pressure to the maximum.

In the next three games, he needs to maximize the pressure on Anthony!

After being tied 0-3, the most trusted teammates are now collapsing one after another, and the result of losing another game in the next game will be the collapse of the entire team!

Yes believes that he will see the strongest Anthony in the next game.

Only the strongest Anthony can force out the stronger Durant!

Yeas has always said that this series with the Nuggets plays an extremely important role in his career.

In addition to the Nuggets, even if he faces the Spurs, this year's Seattle SuperSonics can only become a sacrifice for strong teams such as the Rockets, Suns, and Lakers. He still needs to wait if he wants to pursue the highest honor.

Only when facing the Nuggets does his team have such great opportunities and room for growth!

As for Hamilton and Billups, who were ruined by him in this series.

Yesi looked away from Anthony and closed his eyes.

Isn't it just being played badly?

hehe……

Someone got bad earlier than the two of them, didn't they come over too?

When Yes opened his eyes again, Hamilton and Billups, who had been being comforted by George Karl on the other side, seemed to have a cold wind passing through, and their whole bodies were chilling!
