Chapter 253: Two to One
A nurse was pushing a treatment cart to the single ward. When her colleague said that the old man who lives in that ward was a basketball coach and had a very strange temper. A few days ago, because the team he coached lost the ball, he even got a temper in the ward.
When he walked to the door of the ward, the nurse became nervous. This kind of irritable patient is the object that all young nurses fear the most.
"There is nothing scary Cady, he is just a patient!" After taking a deep breath, the nurse pushed open the door of the ward.
In the ward, the TV was on, and the voices of the interviewer and the noise of the audience came from inside. Caddy didn't like this sound because her father was a football fan. So when she came home every day, she had to endure the noise like that came from the TV.
The gray-headed old man was sitting on a stool. According to the principle, the old man should have to rest in bed, but he insisted on sitting in front of the TV to watch the game.
When the old man heard someone coming in, he turned his head. But to Kaidi's surprise, the old man who was "vicious" in his colleagues' words smiled slightly at her kindly and friendly, and nodded.
"Uh... Is it Mr. George Carl from Ward 25?" Kady quickly checked the other party's identity. Did he go to the wrong ward?
"It's me, I'm going to have an infusion again?" George Carl looked at the treatment car, and two or three bottles of potions were placed on it.
"That's right, can you please lie back on the bed..."
"Shh..." Before Caddy finished speaking, George Carl put his index finger on his lips and signaled her to keep quiet.
Caddy looked at the TV in confusion, and it seemed that the players were introducing the players on the screen. But when the players wearing sky blue jerseys appeared, they were greeted with overwhelming booing.
Especially after Yi, a player with a baby face and named Anthony, came out, the whole booed loudly and rubbed the top.
"Hehe, okay, you go ahead, Miss, I just want to see the appearance ceremony of my players. By the way, I'll sit and have an infusion. I don't want to lie down on the bed to watch this game." George Carl's tone was still gentle. The game has not started yet, so of course he has no reason to be popular.
"Your player? Are you the head coach of nBa's team?" While preparing the items for George Carl, Kady asked in disbelief.
"Hahaha, of course, it's just that my career is not very good and I often lose, so I have a bit of a temper." As a coach of Qiansheng, only people like Caddy who doesn't pay attention to basketball at all will believe George Carl's nonsense.
"No matter how bad your grades are, you have to put your health first. Your disease is related to your usual yelling on the court." Seeing that George Carl was actually very easy-going, Caddy started chatting with him without any words.
"I will remember your advice, okay?" Seeing that Caddy skillfully stabbed the needle in, George Carl looked at the little girl.
"As long as you don't move around, you will continue to get better."
"Thank you girl, the competition is about to begin. I think after the competition begins, I will become the evil old man you talk about. So if possible, please let me go later." Carl actually didn't want to have a big temper at the innocent nurses, but that's how his personality was. The competition touched his emotions, and would someone who dared to roar at Ray Allen and Anthony control his temper for a few nurses?
Kady pushed the treatment cart out of the ward, looking at the focused George Carl, she shook her head in confusion. Basketball really has such great magic, can it even make Yi's personal temperament change?
The answer is yes, not only George Carl will do this. The gentle Anjie Dan will become irritable and bloodthirsty when he comes on the court.
"Nene's hooking hand, An's defense is amazing! Sure enough, the Brazilian failed to hit the hook with such interference! Today, the Nuggets' inside player failed to win on Anjie. Although he had only played a few rounds in the game, we can all see that the Thunder were defending for life, while the Nuggets were attacking wildly. But judging from the current situation, the Nuggets' offense is better than Yishu!"
Although Nene failed to hit the ball, and although Kenyon and Martin's empty cut layup was also interfered with Anger, the Nuggets were still leading three points at this moment. It was not someone else who caused this situation, but Cameron Anthony who lost in the last game.
Although the team is leading the score now, Anthony feels it is very difficult to maintain this slight advantage. You must know that this is the first quarter game. In the second quarter game alone, the Thunder's defense made him feel very weak.
"This damn guy, where did Presti get such a person from!" George Carl believed that his inside combination could play in front of Gasol and Bynum. This lineup was originally intended to deal with the Lakers. But now this Anger has caused the Nuggets' inside offense to stagnate. If Anthony and Billups had not had the outstanding touch, the Nuggets would not have been able to have the lead.
George Carl can be prepared for danger in times of peace and see the problems on the court, but Adrian Dantley, as his assistant coach, may not be able to see these.
Now the Nuggets are leading the way and are hitting the Thunder. Dantley feels that his tactics are effective. Nene and Martin's several missed attacks are not harmless at all.
At the end of the quarter, the Nuggets led away 27-2yi. This strengthened Dantley's idea. The temporary victory made him ignore the problems that arose in the team, but in Van Gundy's view, this loophole will only become bigger and bigger.
"yiets, go, Thunder!yiets, go, Thunder!" The second quarter started soon with the shouts of Thunder fans.
Today, the Chesapeake Energy Arena completely turned into a blue ocean. The fans at the 8o scene were all wearing the Thunder's blue short sleeves and stood in the audience to cheer for the Thunder.
Angel and Durant and others have never seen this situation before. With the support of these people, the Thunder players are even more motivated.
Why is the opportunity to play at home in the playoffs particularly precious? This is the reason. In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Thunder players have the advantage in their psychology!
Just under the deafening cheers, in this fanatical blue ocean, Anjie jumped high and flew the racket from the hands of "Birdman" Anderson, slamming Anderson's hands, which he was determined to be, out of the penalty area.
"The second block! An put all his energy on the defensive end today, and the Nuggets' inside offense was completely strangled to death by An! Should he follow Ibaka's pace and also take out an exaggerated block count! "Ibaka gave the seven career-high blocks in the last game, which made it difficult for the Nuggets' inside players to let go. Today, Anjie also used his tough and positive performance to continue their nightmare.
At this time, Anthony's offensive efficiency could still be maintained, but the efficiency of Billups and others began to decline. Without the support of inside players, the Nuggets' offense had actually fallen into a quagmire.
"Let Nene pull Allah out!" George Carl roared at the TV screen, but unfortunately, Dantley couldn't hear it.
4 points, 2 points, tied, Thunder reversed 3 points, 5 points...
Dantley watched the Thunder approach the score until the backlash under his loose defense. But in his opinion, there was no problem with the offenses between Billups and Anthony. What he didn't see was that the offenses of Nene, Anderson and Martin could be described as terrible.
Especially Nene, offense should be the Brazilian's specialty. But under Anjie's defense, after playing for so long, Nene only scored a goal.
After seeing An Jie's interesting data, espn also took advantage of the opportunity to attach it to the bottom of the screen when he died.
2 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals. This data reflects Van Gundy's defensive strategy well in every yi, while Dantley is still immersed in Anthony's not-so-low shooting percentage and scoring.
Even though Anthony and Billups were unable to score, the Nuggets' offense was stagnant. Because other Nuggets players except these two have been completely deflated. Van Gundy was waiting for this moment, waiting for the moment when Anthony and Billups were not able to do it.
At the end of the second quarter, Dantley also hopes that J.R. Smith and Ty Lawson can lead the team's second team to recover the decline, but the defense of Ibaka and Livingston made the performance of the two dull.
52 to 48, the Nuggets went from leading four points to falling behind four points. Although the score difference was not big, the changes were huge.
If George Carl confronted Van Gundy on the court at this moment, Van Gundy would have to scratch his head. Unfortunately, the Nuggets can only rely on Danteley's arrangement to play the second half, and Van Gundy has completely understood Danteley.
In the third quarter, Anthony was able to continue scoring goals. But others except him lost their effect under high-intensity defense.
Van Gundy asked Sevorsa to defend Billups' strategy to obviously achieve results. The only two guns left in the Nuggets' offensive end have been removed. The Nuggets, who were originally unfavorable in offense, now have a small offensive firepower.
At this time, it was the time to open the score! Van Gundy waved his hand, and the Thunder players who had been holding it up for half the court were crazy around the Nuggets' basket. The Thunder's sudden explosion was unexpectedly unexpected.
The offense failed to be opened, and now the defense, which was ineffective, was beaten through. After two quarters, An Jie finally started killing in the third quarter.
With the cooperation of Westbrook, Anger completed various exciting goals, including inward cut dunks, and all-in-one relays.
And An Jie's singles at low post also gained a lot. On the offensive end, he personally suppressed the seemingly aggressive inside combination of the Nuggets.
When they hit the back, the Nuggets' inside line had no choice but to foul Anger. Nene and Martin were the top players in the league who had fouls, and it was Van Gundy's expectation that Anger could get so many free throw opportunities.
In the third quarter, the Nuggets, who were originally under the banner of offense, were suddenly beaten by the Thunder. 7o to 84, George Carl pulled the needle out of his hand and broke the chair he was sitting in a furious manner. In his opinion, his team played like this, which was simply unacceptable.
By the fourth quarter, the Nuggets, whose morale was declining, could no longer organize an effective counterattack. Anthony's attack was still dangerous, but unfortunately, everyone else almost disappeared.
Finally, in this blue ocean of Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Thunder broke the Nuggets with yio 5-93 at home, and got a good start at home!
The Thunder led by Van Gundy came from behind and reversed the total score. The Nuggets' performance in this game was even worse than before.
Dantley has completely lost his direction, and the Nuggets players have completely lost their direction.
Chapter completed!
