Due to the schedule, the Hornets and Heat had a tiebreaker one day earlier than the Nuggets and Timberwolves.
In the end, the Heat won 23 9 thanks to Caron Butler's outstanding performance, leading the Heat to defeat the Hornets.
Therefore, the only players left in the first round were the Timberwolves and the Nuggets.
The rookie, Wade, scored 12 points, but he did not play very well.
However, in the previous series, Wade had two 21-point performances, but his play was not very stable.
It was understandable for rookies to get 21 points and 2 points.
However, Wade was also the first player among the top rookies of the 2003 generation to enter the second round of the playoffs as a core player.
Although the second-place player, Milicic, had entered the second round of the playoffs early in the playoffs, he had an average of 0.1 points per game and played less than two minutes.
This really had nothing to do with the core, so he followed the Five Tigers into the game.
Among the players who played well in the 2003 generation, James, who won the Rookie of the Year award, did not make it to the playoffs. Chris Bosh did not make it to the playoffs either.
Other than Wade, there was only Anthony among the 2003 rookies who were still playing in the playoffs.
This drew everyone's attention to the tiebreaker between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets.
In addition to the big suspense of whether Black Eight would be revealed, it was also the battle between Wade and Anthony for the 'Best Rookie' of the 2003 generation.
The Rookie of the Year award was not an honor that James had already received, but the Rookie of the Year award in the hearts of the fans. After all, the playoffs and the regular season were two different games.
Wade had scored 20 points in the series, and Anthony had scored 20 points in the series.
Wade had scored two points on one out of eight shots in the series, and Anthony had scored two points on one out of 16 shots.
Wade advanced to the tiebreaker, but his performance could only be considered passable and not too good. He only got 12 points.
Now, it was time to see the data comparison of Anthony's tiebreak.
If the Nuggets could win, even if Anthony's stats were similar to Wade's, Anthony would still be slightly better than Wade.
The Heat's opponent was the Hornets, while the Nuggets 'opponent was the number one team in the Western Conference, the Timberwolves.
......
Minn.
All the Nuggets had arrived in Arizona early and were training their hands.
It was lunchtime.
Anthony wiped the sweat off his head with a towel. He had worked hard this time.
Even though Anthony was not a particularly hard-working person and his attitude on the court was slightly lazy, he was not a good player.
But that depended on who the opponent was.
Anthony was a person who became weak when he was weak and strong when he was strong. In many key games, Anthony proved that he was not bad at defense, but he was not used to it.
He returned to the locker room and prepared to rest for a while before continuing his training.
However, at this moment, a call came.
Anthony didn't want to answer the phone and let the outside world disturb him. He had already turned off one of his phones. Very few people knew about this phone. Basically, only his good brothers knew about it.
"Mellon, I will come to watch your game tonight. I didn't want to disturb you with this call, but tonight's game is too important.”
The caller was Lebrang James.
Anthony smiled in relief. He couldn't help but think back to three years ago.
They were at the fountain in colorado, where they hit it off because of their similar backgrounds.
From then on, they became good friends, and later on in the high school duel, they appreciated each other.
James came to watch him play because of their agreement. Whoever could successfully make the team into the playoffs would come to watch the game.
"Le Bulang, don't worry, I will definitely perform well. At least I won't have any regrets.”
Anthony smiled.
After chatting for a while, he hung up.
Anthony took a deep breath. Everything was waiting for the game tonight.
