The Nuggets are on the passive!

After playing more than 4 minutes in the opening game, only Lowry scored in a field battle, shooting 3 of 4 and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 9 points alone, and the only remaining player on the Nuggets team was Chris Anderson rushing to grab an offensive rebound that caused Randolph to foul and make one of two free throws, and no one else scored!

Gallinari's three-point was blocked by Battier, he was pinched under the basket, cut into the shot 2 and shot 0, and was also capped by Sun Ce, and he didn't dare to cut in after being capped.

And Gallinari has almost no mid-range shooting ability, he has the ability to run and receive the ball outside the three-point line, but he does not have the ability to run out of the three-point line and shoot directly after receiving the ball......

Nene didn't have a good time facing Gasol Jr. in the low post, and the Nuggets gave up on this offensive option after they had been beaten by Gasol Jr. at the beginning of the season, Courtney Lee was taken down, and Ariza was more than enough to defend and not enough to attack.

Lowry broke out today, scoring 9 points in the opening game to help the Nuggets score 10 points in less than 5 minutes.

But on the other hand, Sun Ce scored 7 points on 1-of-2 shooting! 5 of 6 free throws!

Coupled with Randolph's 4 points and Battier hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, the Grizzlies scored 14 points in less than 5 minutes!

This opening game is indescribable, in short, I saw Sun Ce keep walking to the free throw line, after the defender was replaced by Ariza, Ariza controlled the foul very well, but in order to avoid being fouled by Sun Ce, there was a gap in the defense, and Sun Ce burst into the inside, so that Nene was burdened with a foul.

It's really not good to look at this kind of game, but as long as the Grizzlies play their best defense, the game is usually not good, and the fans are used to it, but this time the way it is not good is more alternative.

Seeing that the point difference was about to be pulled away, Nuggets head coach George Karl called a timeout.

Lowry played well, but his teammates didn't give it a try! George Carr was also annoyed, mainly because Courtney Lee, who was suitable for Lowry and theoretically defended Sun Ce, was in foul danger.

George Karl replaced Lowry and Nene with a lineup of Lawson, Afflaro, Ariza, Gallinari, and Chris Anderson to play defensive counterattacks!

This lineup has 4 to 1 on the defensive end, and all of them can run on the offensive end!

Before going on the court, George Karl called Chris Anderson, who was about to continue to play, to the side: "Chris, if that No. 3 continues to make fouls...... You know what I mean? ”

Birdman is thinking about how to avoid being fouled by Sun Ce, he has no other abilities on the offensive end except for secondary offense and eating cakes, and his single defense is not bad, but the co-defense is very good, and he is thinking about this aspect.

Originally, Birdman thought that the head coach was going to teach him how to defend, but he didn't expect the head coach to say this!

Is this what a manager should say? Also, he looks so cruel, should he do such a cruel thing?

"Coach, I didn't understand, can you explain more carefully?" The birdman asked, looking puzzled.

Sometimes it's not that I don't understand, but I don't want to understand, this is no longer the original era, doing such a thing, I can't get over it on my conscience, and I won't play in the future?

George Carr's face sank, he didn't say anything more, and waved his hand for the birdman to get ready to play.

……

The Grizzlies also made a rotation on their side, with the combination of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Jordan Jr. being replaced.

What Coach Hollins could expect was that the opponent called a timeout before entering the official timeout with more than a minute left, and he must have changed to a brisk lineup.

It's just that I didn't expect the other party to replace Lowry with such an aggressive substitution as Lawson.

Sun Ce continued to appear, he didn't know that he had encountered the situation of his younger brother who was a primary school student, and he was almost overshadowed by the opposing head coach.

However, after this timeout, he did not continue to make fouls for the time being, and his six free throws were already double Lowry's three free throws, and his five free throws were two more than Lowry's, and the lead in terms of events was huge.

Lowry doesn't have the idea that he has to make fouls, but making fouls is his way of creating better singles opportunities or organizing offensive opportunities for himself, and the two sides are completely different on the dead end, and Sun Ce easily exceeds a lot when the referee gives face.

However, when he caused a foul on Nene for the last time just now, Nene obviously couldn't hold back his anger, and Sun Ce was decisively ready to stop.

And that kind of play has a lot of damage to their Grizzlies' already not particularly good positional tactical play, which played for nearly 5 minutes in the opening game, and Randolph scored a normal low-post single score, Battier hit a three-point shot, and other scores are not conventional scores.

Coming back from a timeout, the Nuggets attack first.

Unlike the style of play that requires organization and tactical discipline when there is Lowry and Nene, after Lawson came up, the Nuggets ran at full speed!

The frontcourt serve directly from the positional battle fast attack!

Lawson received the serve and accelerated the sprint directly, Tony Allen didn't keep up with it for the first time, Lawson attracted Sun Ce's help defense, and passed to whoever had the opportunity, Afflaro was vacated, and Lawson immediately passed to Afflaro.

The loss is that the Grizzlies are also a combination of four outside lines on the inside, Paul George switched from Ariza to Afflalo, Afraro then distributed the ball to Ariza, Ariza burst in, attracted the attention of the inside line and passed to Gallinari who cut in against Battier, Gallinari took advantage of Jordan Jr.'s unpreparedness and slipped to the bottom line to hit a layup!

In addition to the Birdman who plays center, the Nuggets lineup has the ability to hold the ball in the outside four, including Ariza, as long as he doesn't let Ariza be a fixed-point pitcher, he still plays very well.

If you want to let Ariza be the core, he really doesn't have that kind of strength, but as a role player with an annual salary of about 6 million US dollars, he can do very well, averaging 11 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game, which is completely worthy of his salary.

After replacing Lawson as the offensive starting point, the Nuggets' style of play changed suddenly!

As a sophomore and a backup point guard, Lawson doesn't have as many concerns as Lowry, and he comes up showing completely different traits from Lowry, and the way he organizes the offense is completely different.

Lowry's playing style is still traditional, with playoff pursuits, Lawson doesn't care, just do it and finish it.

Little Jordan picked up the ball immediately after Gallinari scored and sent it to Sun Ce, and when Sun Ce launched a fast attack, the opponent retreated very quickly!

The Grizzlies' big four small fast break was followed!

And the defense is very targeted, Ariza continues to defend against Sun Ce, Afflaro guards rookie Paul George, and Lawson chases after Mr. Tony, who has no offensive ability!
