Chapter 530 Threading the Needle! Double Explosion Inside and Out! Nuggets' Championship?!
The Nuggets defeated the Spurs, securing their fifth consecutive win.
Since joining the Nuggets, Stoudemire is undefeated!
"Melo, Anthony, and the Finals MVP point guard, the Nuggets' Big Three are really amazing!!!" Amy Johnson exclaimed.
"Yes Yes."
Kenny Smith chimed in, then raised an eyebrow and exclaimed excitedly, "Amy, the Nuggets' next game is against the Knicks."
This is an even more significant showdown.
The Nuggets defeated the Spurs, achieving a five-game winning streak, displaying such hot form despite such a short period of integration.
If they can even beat the Knicks who have won 16 straight games.
The Nuggets are really going to win the championship!!!
"Huh? The Nuggets are playing the Knicks next game?!"
Upon hearing this, Amy Johnson immediately became excited, "One of them is the defending champion with a 16-game winning streak."
One team is the Denver Nuggets, who have just formed a Big Three, boast a powerful and perfect roster, and are unstoppable with a five-game winning streak.
If these two teams, who are currently on the rise, were to meet, it would definitely be a clash of titans.
I've been waiting with bated breath!!!
"Ha ha!"
Kenny Smith laughed after hearing this and looked at the camera, saying, "Two days from now, everyone should be sure to watch this exciting match on time tonight."
……
That night, fans were discussing the Nuggets vs. Spurs matchup, marveling at the power of the "Nuggets Big Three".
Everyone is looking forward to the matchup between the Knicks and the Nuggets.
Until the early hours of the morning, until the NBA officially announced: "[The four rounds of voting for the 2010-2011 All-Star Weekend have officially ended, and the voting channel is now closed.]"
The final vote count will be announced in three days.
The fans' attention had just shifted, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"Brothers, I want to know... how many votes will 'Flame God' get in the end, after 1300 million votes in three rounds?!"
I think it'll be at least 1500 million votes!
"It should be more than that, I think it's at least 1600 million votes!"
"My God, just two years ago, the strongest vote-getter in history only had a little over 3 million votes, how did it suddenly jump to 15 million?!"
This acceleration is as fast as a rocket launch.
“It’s amazing!”
"Hehehe~ This is the incredible popularity of 'Brother Su Yan'!"
"That makes sense. In the history of the NBA, there simply isn't a player as handsome, strong, skilled, wealthy, and with the added advantage of being an international player as Su Yan."
Su Yan is the only one.
"Su Yan is too outstanding, so outstanding that... he would be a top performer in any field!"
"Ahem... I think Su Yan has surpassed players like Kobe, LeBron, and Duncan, becoming the new face of the league."
The only storefront!!!
"Yes, yes~"
"..."
Every time Su Yan is mentioned, fans are either amazed or envious, and the screen is filled with praise.
The little black guys' chicken feet never even had a chance to show.
……
After two full days of build-up and hype, the Knicks vs. Nuggets matchup... is generating a lot of buzz!
This is a live broadcast across the entire country.
8 p.m.
Madison Square Garden.
There is one hour left before the Knicks and Nuggets game.
"boom!"
The atmosphere in the stadium was incredibly lively, with noise levels comparable to that of a Boeing 747 taking off.
It didn't feel like the game hadn't even started yet; it felt more like the game was on its final possession, on the verge of a game-winning moment.
On the field.
"Shh!"
"boom!"
"Shh!"
Anthony hit a mid-range jumper, Stoudemire slammed home a dunk, and Billups hit a warm-up three-pointer.
The three of them walked together while warming up.
"Tsk tsk..."
Stoudemire, feeling the atmosphere of the arena, clicked his tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "New York truly lives up to its reputation as the world's largest metropolis; the atmosphere here is truly extraordinary."
Previously, when I was in Phoenix, even if I led the team to a very good record, even if it was the Christmas Day game.
The stadium was not full.
I don't think it's a matter of the player's popularity; it must be a problem with the city they play in.
"That's for sure!"
Billups agreed, saying, "Back then, I won the championship as one of the 'Pistons' Big Five' and received the Finals MVP award."
But... compared to Finals MVP players like Kobe, Shaq, and Wade, my popularity is too low.
Many fans don't even know that I won the Finals MVP.
Small cities lack population, there's nothing that can be done about it!
"It doesn't matter!"
Anthony shrugged, seemingly unconcerned. "If we win the championship this year, our popularity will skyrocket."
Our opponents are only three teams.
The Lakers in the West, and the Knicks and Heat in the East.
If we can easily beat the Knicks tonight, we'll basically have the championship locked up for good!!!
"woooow~"
Xiao Si got excited when he heard this, "Indeed, popularity and such are not that important."
The champion is the most important.
"of course."
Billups nodded, clenched his fist, and said in a booming voice, "Tonight, we will upset the defending champions who have won 16 consecutive games."
Let the whole league know that this season belongs to... the Nuggets!!!
"boom!"
The atmosphere in the stadium was incredibly enthusiastic.
After the warm-up, the starting lineups for both sides began to take the field.
New York Knicks Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Stephen Curry, Shooting Guard: Tony Allen, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Tyson Chandler.
Denver Nuggets starting lineup: Point Guard: Chauncey Billups, Shooting Guard: JR Smith, Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony, Power Forward: Amar'e Stoudemire, Center: Chris Anderson.
The Nuggets traded Kenyon Martin, Nene Hilario, and first-round draft picks from 2011 and 2012.
In theory.
Martin and Nene's salaries are already comparable to Stoudemire's, so there's no need to sacrifice two first-round picks.
However... even if Martin and Nene team up, their fighting power is not as strong as Little S.
The Suns will not agree to this unless they are given the right to choose the ball.
Even so, it was only because Stoudemire forced the management to resign that the trade would have been abandoned.
The Suns had no choice but to minimize their losses, which led to this blockbuster trade that ignited the league.
With this trade, the Suns will most likely rebuild next season.
The Nuggets have gone all in on two first-round picks, and they truly have the fighting power to contend for the championship this year.
"Jumpball!"
Tyson Chandler and Chris Anderson, who came off the bench, contested for the ball.
"Snapped!"
"Birdman" was in top form, taking the initiative and lobbing the basketball to win the Nuggets the first possession of the game.
Billups pushed the ball over, set a screen for Anthony, accelerated down the right wing, drew the defense, and then bounced the ball back to Anthony.
Left elbow area.
Anthony received the ball and took a jump shot, completing the shot despite David Lee's long arm interference.
The ball leaves the hand, two points in.
"Shh!"
Anthony made the shot easily.
In the next round, Billups hit a ball to the left side of the low post, where he was positioned as the "Little Tyrant".
Facing Tyson.
Without any fancy moves, he aggressively attacked, squeezed into the basket, and made a feint shot to test the waters, seizing the moment when Tyson was distracted while reading the defense.
Onions sprout from the dry land.
"boom!"
slammmmmdunk!
On Tyson's head... with both hands clasped tightly.
At the start of the game, Anthony and Stoudemire, one inside and one outside, were unstoppable in their offensive plays.
This dealt a heavy blow to the Knicks.
"COMEON!"
In the commentary box.
Mike Brin shouted excitedly, "Chanchy orchestrated the connection, and Cameron and Stoudemire exploded both inside and out!"
With the Nuggets' Big Three in such hot form, are they on track to clinch the championship early?!
