The strength of the Suns' first round opponent Nuggets has slightly declined compared to Guo Xu's previous life. Nene is missing as a substitute in the interior, and there are more defensive blue-collar Nahura and Mickey Moore.

Before the game, experts predicted the winner and lost, and agreed that the Suns would sweep and advance. The strength gap between the two teams was obvious. The Suns swept the Nuggets in the regular season, and the score difference was very large in each game.

Before the game, a reporter interviewed both sides in a routine interview. Nuggets core Cameron Anthony said: "I don't think the Nuggets will be swept. The Suns are indeed very strong. Jason is the best player in the current service, but we are not bad either. We have to work hard to win one or two games."

As a fan, "Melon" can praise Guo Xu, but will not easily admit defeat. "Melon" who just entered the league is young and energetic. Knowing that his strength is not as strong as his opponent, he must do his best.

People's psychology is really strange. No matter how old or old you are, when you are facing competition with others, the people who want to win will involuntarily occupy people's hearts. As long as there is a slight chance of winning, most people will instinctively want to seize it. This is not a patent that only winners have, even if there are people at the bottom of the league this year.

Guo Xu also praised Anthony in an interview. "I was impressed by the three rookies in the 2003 class, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Cameron Anthony, all of whom have the potential to become the scoring champion, which is very outstanding."

The reporter asked: "Many people think that Anthony has not improved compared to the rookie season this season. He has already set a distance with Wade and James. Do you think he can still catch up with those two?"

"He just took fewer moves, which is more conducive to the Nuggets' running-in. I think he did a good job, but he had to learn to pass the ball better so that he could lead his teammates. In addition, he had to improve his three-point ability."

This season, Anthony averaged 16.4 shots per game and 20.8 points, James scored 26 points in 20.5 shots. The difference between the two in scoring is not big. The difference in assists is quite obvious. James averaged 7.2 times per game, while Anthony only had 2.6 times.

However, it is understandable that Anthony plays like this. He is the forward, the Nuggets' organizational task is Andre Miller, and James is the forward who does the point guard's job.

Guo Xu knew that all three of them could play luxurious data and became representatives of the All-Star and national team several times. He didn't mind holding new stars in advance.

Anthony was in a miserable past life and was considered a representative of bad luck. The first star he teamed up in his career was 31-year-old Iverson, who was incompatible with the style of the game. Later, he welcomed the 32-year-old star point guard Billups and led the team to the Western Conference Finals together.

Anthony then went to the East to join the Knicks, but not long after he joined forces, S was seriously injured and declined. Anthony, Chandler and others won the second place in the Eastern Conference regular season, and he won a scoring champion. Unfortunately, this is the only honor he can achieve in his career.

Anthony has partnered with only a handful of stars throughout his career. His depressed state in the last year was called a cancer, and his fate is sad.

In fact, he had a good professional attitude in the early stage. There was no news that he had a quarrel with his teammates or coaches. He cared about his teammates, worked hard to play, had excellent scoring ability, and his key ball ability was even more top-notch.

Anthony's tragedy is also directly related to the fact that the league does not support him. His exposure rate is not high, and some are all negative news off the court, and he also participated in a fight on the court. On the other hand, James showed signs of being regarded as a signboard as soon as he entered the league.

The first two games of the series were played in Phoenix, and the results were the same as experts predicted. The Suns had the upper hand and won consecutive games. Both sides moved to Denver to continue the game, and the Nuggets had a home advantage and could not pose a threat to the Suns.

Andre Miller is the point guard that Guo Xu hates more. He is 188cm tall and good at back-playing and has excellent organizational skills. This guy scored 50+ without shooting three-pointers in his previous life, which is amazing.

He also had a unique skill of playing high and fake fax shots. He scored a lot of points in a single match against Guo Xu in the regular season.

But Guo Xu just hates it and is not easy to defend. On the other hand, Miller is even more obsessed with defending Guo Xu, and his teammates must double-team them.

Miller's shortcomings are obvious. He lacks three-point range, is not fast, and is afraid of speed guards. Guo Xu does not need cover, and can pass Miller one-on-one, which is the biggest advantage of the Suns.

In the inside competition, Marion, Sir Nene, Haslem combination easily overwhelmed Camby, Kenyon Martin, Moore, and Nahura. Against a group of tough guys in the Suns, the Nuggets basically couldn't hit the penalty area in the inside. Although both of them still had a bit of mid-range shot, they were not stable. The mid-range shot shooting rate of less than 40% could not be used as a conventional weapon.

The Nuggets and Nets signed and then exchanged for Martin, and after paying three draft picks, they were cheated by the Nets. The Nets had no salary space to give Martin a large contract, so signing and then exchanged was just a behavior of getting some if they could.

Martin has a potential knee injury, but he signed a high salary of 91 million yuan for seven years, which will expire in the summer of 2011. The Nuggets will definitely be cheated by him. Once the short beast power forward's physical fitness declines, it will be over.

Martin was not efficient in the regular season, and at least he had 15.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists. After entering the playoffs, Nuggets fans found sadly that Martin had no advantage in pk S. Nene, and it was difficult to score points when he was defended. The two played the same way, and their annual salary was nearly 10 times different.

The two sides competed in the position of swingers. As the Nuggets' top scorer, Cameron Anthony encountered a wheel battle and was strictly guarded by the four swingers. It was really hard to beat four hands with one punch.

The difference in lineup between the two teams is desperate. Anthony failed to be selected for the All-Star Game, but his opponents have two All-Stars. Greg Buckner and Demar Johnson cannot provide him with much help.

Demar is an inspirational player. He suffered a car accident in 2002 and almost broke his neck, almost killing him, but he still returned to the NBA tenaciously. This season, he performed well and could help the team on the defensive end with his height and wingspan, but he has never practiced his mid- and long-distance shooting.

The Suns averaged 23 points per game, 4-0, eliminated the Nuggets without wasting much energy and advanced to the next round first.

At the post-match press conference, everyone in the Nuggets could face the defeat calmly, and they were mentally prepared for the third game.

Anthony said: "We have not left any regrets this season, we have tried our best. The Suns are too strong. Jason should also win MVP this season, and they are simply invincible."

Anthony averaged 21.5 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game. The data seemed to be pretty good. In fact, his shooting percentage was only 40%, and his efficiency was not high. The Suns sent people to defend themselves from the outside, and they tightly tied up near the penalty area. They put Camby and Martin shot again and again. He would pass the ball selflessly, but his teammates often failed to make empty shots.

The Nuggets lack three-pointers, and rely on veterans Brian Russell and Buckner to make three-pointers. These two are still substitutes and cannot open up space without playing. The Nuggets originally had excellent three-pointer Woshan Leonard, who won the three-point contest championship, but he was injured and reimbursed.

Guo Xu scored 22.5 points, 12 assists and 2 steals per game without wasting much effort. His data dropped a lot from the regular season, but his playing time was reduced to 30 minutes, mainly helping his teammates create opportunities and using the game instead of practicing tactics.

The other three star teammates performed steadily, and the whole team blossomed at multiple points, with at least five players scoring in double digits in each game.

In another round of the series, the Rockets and the Grizzlies played fiercely, tied 2-2, each winning two home games.
