Chapter 199: Denver Athletics
The two sides tentatively attacked for several rounds and scored 9:8. No one was willing to suffer losses on the offensive end, but there was still a slight difference. The Nuggets really couldn't defend themselves. They didn't have an excellent defensive system and there were too many defensive loopholes on the outside. Jokic has never been an excellent player to supplement and assist in defense.
The Pacers are different. They are not strong enough. After a few rounds of temptation, they learned about the Nuggets' offensive and began to strengthen their defense.
After Mudiat received the ball, Hill defended about one meter away from him, which obviously did not take his three-point ability seriously! But he really didn't have any three-point ability. I wonder if it was because he adapted to the CBA's three-point line in Guangdong Hongyuan. As a defender, the three-pointer hit in his early 30s was really eye-catching, and he failed to score an attempted three-pointer.
After George got the rebound, he quickly pushed back and forth. Lin Sen threw the fat white boy Jokic farther and farther away in this sprint track and field match. He rushed to the Nuggets' half with a few steps. After receiving George's pass, he did not choose to attack the box directly, but moved to the hand of CJ Myers running from the left. After receiving the ball, the latter ended the attack with a dunk.
Lin Sen's pass was very beautiful in this round, but this pass seemed to provoke Teacher Yo. In the next round, Jokic responded on the offensive end. He held the ball on the offensive end, and looked like he was in the top of the arc, but his pass was obviously much more beautiful than Lin Sen and Green.
His hand shook, and the basketball flew straight into the empty cut and entered the hand of the orc Farie De, who entered the inside line. The latter was definitely the top in the speed of the fourth position. He had already gotten rid of the position of Sadice Young, and after receiving the ball, he directly buckled his hands and retaliated with his color.
The two highest players on the court play at this time to organize the defender's job. Although there are not many assists, the players behind them can still make a second transfer under their passes.
The Pacers' defensive intensity has increased, but they were not used to the Nuggets' style of playing at first, especially after they replaced Garlinari with Wilson Chandler and Will Patton replaced Mudier, they almost became the Nuggets' track and field team.
They run very fast and very active. The physical strength, speed and explosive power of the black race are fully demonstrated in them.
George missed a breakout. Jokic on this side had just grabbed the rebound. The Nuggets' four black Ferraris had quickly rushed to the Pacers' half. A precise long pass directly sent the ball to Harris. The latter did not greedy for this offensive opportunity. After two steps, he also passed the ball to Wilson Chandler who was about to get off the middle. After receiving the ball, he dunked and overtaken the score.
The Pacers are already the fastest team to retreat and defend. Lin Sen and Sadies Young dare not say that they are the strongest inside combination in the league, but in terms of speed, they are definitely the top three inside combinations in the league, but this round of the Nuggets' offense made them both have to follow behind and eat badly.
"This is too fast! Lin Sen's speed has only returned to defend until halftime. How fast is it?"
"The Nuggets usually practice racing in the team without practicing anything, right?"
The majority of Chinese fans stared at the Nuggets running all over the field with wide eyes. The first time I knew that the game could still play like this. They were different from the Warriors' counterattack. The Warriors' counterattack also considered the combination of internal and external lines. Some people would go to the inside line, while others opened up space at the three-point line to get off the inside line. The Nuggets rushed directly to the inside line regardless of the slightest recklessly. It was a fast attack that was faster than you and more than you.
The Pacers have good defense and good counterattacks, but they can't run away when they encounter such a group of madmen. After the first quarter, the Nuggets, with a worse record and a weaker lineup, took the lead in taking out their ultimate move, and this ultimate move is indeed very effective.
McMillan didn't think of any way. All he could do was replace Linson during this period to save energy, and at the same time let Gordon and George maintain their success rate, and the opponent played a fast pace and wanted to hold the ball and counterattack. Then the Pacers could not make the opponent get up faster.
Each round is nearly 20 seconds, and you will find a good opportunity to take action. This is the Pacers' mission after Lin Sen got out.
George did this very well. He is not a one-on-one player. His dribbling is different from that of top outside players, and his speed has also declined after a serious injury. However, in these rounds, he has completely demonstrated his ability to the top fifteen in the league.
He pushed Wilson Chandler's body hard and forced himself to the position near the free throw line, then leaned against his body and suddenly turned around and made a jump shot.
George almost alone held up the Pacers' offensive banner.
But the Denver Track and Field team on the opposite side is not only excellent in running. Once they get caught in a positional battle, they are not as unstructured as fast breaks. Jokic will become their first pick-and-roll point for the ball holder.
As long as the Pacers change their defense, the basketball will be passed to Jokic again. This fat white man will definitely accept double-teams, and this becomes the Nuggets' opportunity. Moreover, his pass is very hidden. No one can tell which direction the ball will fly out.
24:32, the Pacers have already pushed the pace very slowly, not even their usual rhythm, but they still allowed the Nuggets on the opposite side to score 32 points. In the first quarter, the Nuggets' offensive shooting percentage was as high as 61%.
"Why don't let Lin Sen play? This is unreasonable! Lin Sen should be good at dealing with the attack in front of him. As long as the Nuggets don't run away, Lin Sen is least afraid of infiltration when dealing with the offensive and defensive battle in the half-court." Director Zhang frowned, very puzzled by McMillan's command, and wanted to go on the court to help McMillan command.
The guest Su Wei on the side did not understand: "If it was to save the physical strength, Lin Sen would go down too early. With Lin Sen here, their offensive end would be more stable."
