The day after the Grizzlies and Nuggets match ended, the news that Avraro was stitched 11 stitches on his head became the bloodiest news of the day.

O'Neal even joked, "It is possible that Avraro will not have to sew so many needles when he goes to boxing."

This news undoubtedly highlights the intensity of the series between the Grizzlies and the Nuggets, which is even more fierce than boxing. Basketball is always a confrontational sport, and neither the Grizzlies nor the Nuggets are "gentlemen's teams".

Nuggets fans all accused Link of it, saying that it was a malicious foul. He deliberately moved to the right and made Avraro hit his shoulder. And when Avraro flipped down, he didn't have any protective moves.

But all fans except Denver believe that Link just wanted to avoid blocking, and it was all because Avlaro was unable to control his body. And at that time, Link must have put shooting first, and there was no need to give up the offensive opportunity to protect his opponent.

The argument lasted from the end of the game until the next day. Although Link was scolded by some fans, he was not angry.

He would rather be scolded for being dirty than think that he was the one who was hurt yesterday. The scene when Avraro reached out to him was still scared when he thought about it.

When facing an opponent who wants to ruin his own, Link will not be ruthless.

If he collapses on the hospital bed now, then any praise is meaningless. Link would rather be scolded while standing than be praised while lying down.

But in these numerous wars of words, people unexpectedly discovered that the rude old man George Carl did not speak out.

George Carl must be his favorite when he has such a war of words. Not to mention blaming his opponent, even the media criticized his subordinate Anthony, Old Carl would have to follow him for two verbal addictions.

However, this rough old man who didn't even let his players go, did not make any comments to Link today, which surprised the reporters.

It seems that since the end of last night's game, Old Carl has not been so irritable. He even said "I admit I underestimated him", which are seriously inconsistent with the image of George Carl in the media's impression.

After all, the media did not stand in George Carl's position and experienced the despair he experienced.

When you want to use rough defense against a player, you find that he is more ruthless than you. When you want to use dirty tricks against a player, you find that he is more ruthless than you. When you think everything is over, you don't expect that he will provoke and humiliate you.

Not everyone is "fortunate" to meet such an opponent.

Back then, even Kobe, who had a kingly demeanor, did not let George Carl sink so much. But this year, George Carl didn't want to comfort himself anymore.

He knew that if he jumped out and bite people, he would only be treated as a clown

At this point, the first game of the first round of the series was completed. Most teams with higher rankings won the game, but the battle was not over yet. Only those who won 4 games first are the real winners.

No matter how cruel the series is, it must continue.

※※※

In the second game of the series, the Grizzlies only beat the Nuggets by 6 points. The difference seems to be small, but the actual game is completely different from the score.

George Carl wanted to break through the Grizzlies' defense with a fast-paced offense, but the first game was proven to be ineffective. But there was no way, the Nuggets' lineup could only play like this. It was just right for the Grizzlies to beat the position with a stern look.

So, the Nuggets continued to attack quickly, and then there was data for Gasol, a 4-game single game.

At the last moment, if the Grizzlies had not replaced all the main players, the Nuggets would not have been likely to narrow the gap to single digits. 106 to 100, the difference in points was not big, but the gap between the two sides was very obvious.

In the third game, Avraro returned with a mask after completing the concussion test. The Nuggets also returned to the Denver Plateau and returned to their home court, Pepsi Center. All Denver fans hope that the Nuggets can win a game back.

But the result is very different from what Denver fans expected. Avraro, who returned, did not play much role. This former defensive player is particularly gentle when defending Link today and is always afraid of his hands and feet.

Perhaps, Avraro was really scared. He knew very well that the Chinese No. 0 would have to take action, and once he took action, he would be a big shot. Avraro felt chill when he thought of the needle that had just been sewn on his head.

Moreover, Avraro is determined to leave this summer. He really can't stand the days of playing under George Carl and is unwilling to shed blood for the Nuggets again. Once he doesn't seriously or fight hard, the skills of the defensive champions will be reduced by half.

So, Link scored 28 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, and the Grizzlies won another goal at Pepsi Center and easily got the match point!

"I didn't expect the Denver Nuggets to be so vulnerable."

"Before the playoffs, I thought the Nuggets could win at least one game, at least two games. Now I have to admit that I was wrong."

"Link's progress is obvious to all. In three games, he dominated the offensive end and also dominated Avraro. Last season, the Grizzlies' killer in the playoffs was Zach Randolph. This season, the sharpest weapon of the Grizzlies is Link!"

After the third game ended, the media fell to the ground and turned to the grizzly words that Grizzlies, George Carl made before the game, but now they have become jokes.

No one will excuse a loser, even the Nuggets fans themselves. Now, people are questioning the Nuggets management and George Carl's coaching ability.

Every time, the Nuggets play extremely gorgeously in the regular season. As a result, they always lose no results when they arrive in the playoffs.

Nuggets fans have had enough of this ending. I have forgotten to lose to the powerful Lakers in the past few years, but I will lose to the Grizzlies this year, which is "not up-to-earth" team. Nuggets fans accept that they cannot.

But the fact is that in the next game, the Grizzlies will likely directly sweep the Nuggets to advance. The Nuggets' efforts throughout the season will be wiped out after four games.

Just the day before the fourth game between the Nuggets and the Grizzlies began, the Spurs and the Mavericks took the lead in starting their fourth game of the series.

The Mavericks have really declined severely this season. They are already behind the Spurs 0-3 at this time, and they are struggling in the entire series.

In addition to the first game of the series, the Mavericks had caused some trouble for the Spurs, the Spurs almost crushed the Mavericks all the way.

In NBA history, no team has ever been able to turn the tables when they are behind 0-3. In addition, the Mavericks have to face another embarrassing record. They are likely to become the second defending champion in the first round of the playoffs in NBA history.

Popovich is serious today, and he does not allow any mistakes in this game. The Spurs must do the most with the least cost. If they can sweep the Mavericks 4-0, Popovich will also be able to get more rest time for the players.

After the game started, the Spurs players still played very well. Especially on the Spurs bench, the substitutes teamed up to score 57 points, which is definitely a bench depth that other teams do not have.

Finally, in Dallas, the champion land of last season, the San Antonio Spurs cleanly defeated the defending champion Mavericks 87-81. This also indicates that the Mavericks' championship journey ended just one year later.

Thinking about how the Mavericks called the wind and rain in the league last year, and how they are now in a downturn, it makes people feel sad.

There is really only one in the entire league for evergreens like the Spurs.

Although the Spurs broke through the first round of the playoffs, Popovich was not very excited. After all, this was what he planned and the most basic result the Spurs would get. Just breaking through the first round of the playoffs, it would not make the old man happy.

After returning to the locker room, Popovich called Leonard and Stephen Jackson to his side and told them that Link's game video had been sent to their mailbox.

"In the next game, I don't want to be beaten as miserable as George Carl. Bullying the elderly is a bad behavior, so you have to protect me."

Having just eliminated the defending champion, Popovich has turned his attention to the Grizzlies who kicked them out of the playoffs last season.

This year, Popovich is full of confidence. Because Link's opponent is no longer as easy to deal with as Richard Jefferson last season.

After hearing Popovich's words, a young man with expressionless face nodded slightly.
