The formidable Denver Nuggets didn't last three rounds in front of the Portland Trail Blazers, being swept 0:3, which allowed the Trail Blazers to advance with ease.
At the post-game press conference, Bobby Beelman did not show the slightest bit of joy. For the Trail Blazers, the first round was nothing to celebrate; their goal was certainly not just to get past it.
In the series against the Nuggets, Gan Guoyang's performance was impeccable, he didn't even give his all before the opponent was already knocked down.
He is the most reliable cornerstone of the team, and the coaching staff never has to worry about him.
Beelman's evaluation was mainly focused on several rookie players.
The first one being Sabonis, who exhibited a very strong scoring ability in the playoffs.
During the regular season, Sabonis averaged 11.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, along with 1.9 blocks, and 1.5 assists per game.
