Chapter 177 Denver Plateau, the gate to the playoffs!

Chapter 177 Denver Plateau, the gate to the playoffs!

After the game against the Pistons, the Suns hurried to the Denver Plateau to challenge the Nuggets. The Suns, who are trying to adapt to the plateau environment, naturally did not know what the old man in San Antonio was planning, but even if they knew, no one would take it seriously. After all, they are old opponents who know the bottom line. No matter how many cards they have in the past two years of confrontation, most of them have been exposed. There is not much strategy in the playoffs against such opponents. One word, Dry!

Gao Tian, ​​who arrived in Denver for the first time, was obviously not used to this environment. He felt a little heavy in his chest when he got off the plane, but the athlete's strong physical fitness made him feel fine. Looking at D'Antoni Gao who looked a little worried, Tian smiled and indicated that he had no problem. He knew that it would not take long for him to adapt to this environment with his physical fitness, but for this game, I am afraid that his state will not be very good.

Status: Not adapted to the plateau environment (comprehensive ability -5)

Suggestion: The host has the potential to become the most perfect player in NBA history, and now has the strength of an NBA All-Star, and has crossed the threshold of a superstar and is advancing towards a superstar. Every next improvement will be very difficult, and the host needs to work harder. "

Looking at his own stats on the panel, Gao Tian couldn't help but sigh. It's so difficult to improve his ability at this point. After playing the game for nearly half a year, his ability stopped like this a month ago. Yes, until now there is still no movement, which makes Gao Tian a little unwilling.

When he first entered the league, he could clearly feel the changes in himself in every game. At that time, he improved in almost every game in a month. Although the progress was not great, the accumulated water was enough. Gathering into Jianghai, the time when his ability value improved the fastest was also at that time. When the game entered December, he clearly felt that the changes in himself were not as obvious as before, but in general it was still the same. He has made progress. Originally, he thought that his ability value would stop growing after reaching the superstar threshold of 95, but now it seems that he still thinks too well.

From February to March, in this month, in his expectant eyes, his ability value did not increase a little in the end, so it stopped at 94 awkwardly, even if he wanted to increase it too much during this period of time. The large amount of training stimulated the body, but there was still no change at all. In the end, under D'Antoni's worried eyes, he had no choice but to stop this behavior, which can be called self-abuse in everyone's eyes.

Gao Tian has some understanding, maybe his body has adapted to the current intensity of the game, maybe only a higher intensity game can make his ability rise again. Thinking of this, Gao Tian is even more looking forward to the upcoming playoffs, Only in that high-intensity game that is completely different from the regular season can his ability value increase.

"Hey Aaron, how are you doing?"

Iverson looked at Gao Tian's teasing eyes and couldn't help but smiled wryly. Everyone knew that he had not been happy since he came to the Nuggets. He needed the ball, and the team's original boss, Carmelo Anthony, also Need the ball. Although the team's head coach George Karl is a generation of famous coaches, he is not good at these two personalities and is a headache for players who are obsessed with singles. The number of singles played by the Nuggets ranks among the top three in the league. Taking turns with Iverson is already the mainstream tactic of the Nuggets.

The advantage of this tactic is that it is extremely simple. They don't need any complicated running positions. There are also various tactics around screens and running. They only need to pull away and watch the two bosses of the team take turns playing singles.

But the flaws of this tactic are also obvious. The Nuggets' offense is very chaotic. The players don't know what to do. The enthusiasm of the role players is very poor. The Nuggets' two muskets have a misfire, so the Nuggets' offense will be difficult. In addition, Anthony and Iverson are both defensive colanders in their positions, so their record after the trade to Iverson is not good. It didn't rise as the management expected, but the winning percentage was lower than before. Now they are only ranked sixth in the Western Conference.

This is a very embarrassing position. It seems that they should not be ranked in the second half of the West with their strength, but on the one hand, their internal unity is not enough, and on the other hand, the competition in the West is too fierce. , Since Jordan retired, the competitiveness of the East has been inferior to that of the West. In the East, their record can be ranked third, but in the West they are only sixth.

Under such circumstances, Iverson's situation in the team can be imagined. He came here after leaving his hometown and planned to win a championship to fulfill his wish, but now it seems that there is still a long way to go for this wish to come true. some difficulties.

After chatting with Iverson for a few words, Gao Tian returned to the sidelines. It is strange to say that after the All-Star game, when everyone looked at Gao Tian with embarrassment and resentment, Iverson took the initiative Greeting Gao Tian and blessing him made Gao Tian a little confused, but seeing the sincere blessing in Iverson's eyes, he naturally accepted it calmly, and their relationship also changed in a strange way. good.

Although this game against the Nuggets is only a regular season game, it is very important at the end of the season. In the last dozen games, unless it is a team that has given up the playoffs All the teams will play very seriously. It is very likely that just one game can determine their ranking and determine how far the team's efforts can go this season. Therefore, this game is also played extraordinarily. Fierce, although Gao Tian's condition is not very good, Gao Tian, ​​who has reduced his offensive role and focused more on rotation defense, has also been of great help to the team.

Although the imposing Suns faced the Nuggets, although the process was a bit difficult, they eventually fell to the side of the Suns. Under the concerted efforts of the Suns, the Suns finally defeated the Nuggets with a slight advantage of 114:108. A victory consolidated their second position in the Western Conference, and at the same time gave their opponents a two-game losing streak, making the Nuggets fall further behind other teams in the playoff competition!

This is the cruel playoffs. Even if it hasn't come yet, everyone is preparing for it. The worse the opponent plays, the more advantageous they will be. When they come to this arena, no one will talk about human relations. In such a In the competition, only by displaying one's own strength can you win the final of others, which will make your opponent feel afraid.

The Suns who won this game also became the second team in the league after the Mavericks to announce early entry into the playoffs!
