The Nuggets are indispensable without Karl.

…

Social media after the game went crazy.

The Nuggets not only became the only top-half team to win on the second day of the playoffs, but also tied a 53-year-old record.

Biggest point difference in NBA playoffs!

The creator of this record is the Apollo Lakers.

They defeated the St. Louis Hawks (the predecessor of the Atlanta Hawks) by 58 points in the 1956 Western Conference semifinals 133-75.

Now, this record is mentioned again after 53 years!

The Nuggets fans were very happy, the Hornets fans disappeared immediately, and the most unlucky one was naturally Paul.

It was already tragic enough to be reversed by the Spurs in last year's playoffs, but as the team leader, he has to bear the brunt of this disastrous defeat.

Many fans who had never watched the game couldn't help but want to watch the game after seeing the news. Then the Hornets, 58 points, and Paul became search terms.

Some fans who were not too concerned about the excitement even posted pictures of Paul giving backpacks to the big guys during the Beijing Olympics.

Ever since, in line with the mentality of the masses, 58, Paul has become a hot search term.

Finally, in China, because Paul’s pronunciation resembled a cannon, the 58-gun was born.

Lin Ying was a little stunned when he saw the extent of the news.

On the imagination of netizens!

…

The Nuggets defeated the Hornets by 58 points in the first game. As Billups said, it directly destroyed the momentum of the Hornets.

This was foreshadowed in the fourth quarter of the first game.

If the Hornets still have the heart to fight back, they certainly won't lose so much.

At least after Abrams made the three-pointer, they would definitely come up to discuss it, or even have some conflicts.

But they didn't, which shows that the Hornets' morale has been directly destroyed.

4 to 0.

In the four games, except for the last one where the point difference was single digits, the remaining three games were all games with 20 points.

This may be the most humiliating series in the NBA in recent years.

It is not easy to get out of this shadow.

Of course, those are not what Lin Ying and the Nuggets consider.

Their next focus has been on the second round.

Their opponents in the second round will be between the Rockets and the Mavericks.

After four games, the two teams were tied 2-2, and the battle at Tianwang Mountain was about to begin.

But at this time, the Nuggets announced that Karl would temporarily miss the second round due to some personal matters.

On this day, Walken Dean, who had just been announced as the best general manager by the league, called Lin Ying and Anthony into his private office.
