Chapter 388: The Nuggets After the Transaction

Comebacks, while more exciting and more talked-about, are by no means a long-term way to win, nor should they be the way a championship team aspires to win. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he has a proud record of winning all nine games and is praised by public opinion, Rivers knows that there is something wrong with the team.

Authorities are fascinated, Rivers didn't see the root of the problem, and they immediately welcomed the Nuggets, who have been extremely hot recently.

The 2008-2009 season was a small year of trades, but among those deals that did not have many heavyweights affected, one trade was already considered to be a great value, that is, the Nuggets traded Iverson, who had not been able to play tacit with Anthony, from the Pistons to Billups.

In the arena, only victory is the only criterion by which everything is evaluated. After Billups joined, the Nuggets won four of their five games.

"When you're new to a team, you fit in so perfectly, you can't ask for better than Loops!"

This is what the always harsh media says about Billups.

This has led to widespread media belief that this game may be the only game in November that can prevent Celtic from continuing their winning streak.

Well, in fact, after the Pistons and Rockets fell one after another, if you remove the Nuggets they are facing now, the Celtics have no decent opponents in the entire month of November, and what they will encounter next is either a super bad team like the Knicks, or a team like the Warriors that the playoffs are the biggest pursuit.

The back-to-back victories also gave Anthony confidence in the desire to win this match that he expressed before the match: "Yes, we have played 22 games in the past and we have only won twice, but this will be our third victory, yes, that's it, we have found a way to win!" ”

This is indeed the best chance for the Nuggets to win against the Celtics, the winning streak has boosted their morale, and this game is the third game for the Celtics in five days.

Most of the players on the team are veterans with more than ten years of professional experience, although Rivers has always controlled the rotation of players, but after the previous consecutive reversal wins, the fatigue of the Celtics can be imagined!

This didn't show at the beginning, the Celtics are still playing well at home, but the Nuggets are also very tenacious today. Under the organization of Billups, the Nuggets changed the offensive mode that relied too much on star singles or used individual ability to create passing opportunities in the past, and made offense a matter for everyone.

At the end of the first quarter, Anthony scored six points, Martin scored six, Camby scored five and Billups scored four points, and almost everyone played, leaving them just two points behind the Celtics heading into the second quarter.

Shortly after the start of the second quarter, Rivers was replaced by Shi Lei, but that didn't change the situation much.

When is Anthony the greatest threat?

Anthony at this time!

Anthony, who has been vividly described as an "offensive kaleidoscope", is definitely the most talented small forward in history, at least one of them, he is proficient in almost all outside offensive techniques, and he also has a back body ability that is not inferior to Pierce.

This requires the Celtics to pour a lot of defensive strength into him.

However, at this time, Anthony usually does not hold the ball.

But Shi Lei still didn't dare to relax his defense against Anthony, players like them were like beasts, if the cage shackles on their bodies were removed, they would show their sharp fangs if they seemed docile.

Then the rest of the Nuggets' on-court players got more chances.

Rondo is too immature compared to Billups, well, now without the "Big Three" to help him brush up his stats and tout him, he is now just a starting point guard with some potential.

With Billups and Anthony, Shi Lei still has extra energy to support other teammates defensively. So in the second quarter, the Nuggets' interior line went berserk.

Martin, who can run and jump well, and Camby, who is equally flexible, caused a lot of problems for the Celtics' basket, including the ****** which made the Celtics play well, and the situation on the court was scorched until the middle of the second quarter of the game.

Rivers rationally replaced the main force, and Shi Lei led the substitute game alone. For the current Celtics, no victory in that regular season game is more important than the health of the players, and excessive fatigue is often the root cause of injuries.

But the Nuggets don't see it that way, and they make the victory over the defending champion the most important thing.

There's nothing like a morale boost over the defending champions, and in fact the Celtics have been stymied by the rest of the squad since the start of the season.

In the face of such an opponent, falling behind is no longer something that Shi Lei alone can stop.

Although the Celtics look to be doing a little better defensively. Anthony was given to Tony, who is very good at single defense. After Allen defended alone, Shi Lei divided more energy to defend other opponents.

However, the spicy Billups immediately changed his offensive strategy, frequently organizing his teammates to complete the offense on the outside, and finally made Shi Lei unable to provide more support to the team's weak interior line, so that the Celtics fell behind by 7 points at the end of the half and entered the second half.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Celtics reintroduced the main team, and when they finally chased the difference to three points, the main players of the Nuggets also returned to the court.

After Garnett dunked the ball with a tomahawk dunk and caused Martin to foul and tie the score at 84-84, Martin immediately returned the favor and forced a layup through Garnett's defense to re-exceed the score.

Immediately after Perkins was stealed, Billups got the basketball, and quickly completed the offense with the ball, and caused Rondo's defensive foul, and after scoring 3 points with free throws, the Nuggets extended their advantage to 89-84.

Rivers immediately replaced Shi Lei, but this time Shi Lei did not save the team.

After the Nuggets handed the ball to the inside again and Perkins was transferred, Shi Lei immediately rushed back to the inside to make up for the defense, but Martin passed the ball to Anthony on the outside.

Anthony used a three-pointer to tell the "negative" Shi Lei that leaving him was the biggest mistake.

This "mistake" allowed the Nuggets to extend their lead to 8 points in less than two minutes. (To be continued.) )
