Chapter 151: Facing the Nuggets

On Nov. 17, the Bucks host the Nuggets from Denver.

Although Li Tuanjie has never fought with the Nuggets, he and the Nuggets are also old acquaintances, and the Nuggets were ready to take Li Tuanjie under their command, but for some reasons, the deal did not happen!

In addition to the Lee Unity deal, the Nuggets are actually operating another deal on both fronts, that is, they want to bring Iverson, the soul of Philadelphia, to Denver City!

This can also show how ambitious the Nuggets are this year, and they are definitely going for the championship!

If the Lee Tuanjie deal is made and they get the answer Iverson as they wish, then think about how terrifying the Nuggets' lineup will be!

With the extravagant backcourt golden duo Anthony and the answer Iverson with a forward Kenyon Martin, the luxurious golden interior combination of Marcus Camby and Lee United, plus the extravagant bench lineup of JR-Smith, Blake, Kreza, Nahura and other players, this lineup is simply against the sky......

If you look purely at the lineup, if you don't look at the chemistry of the players, it is simply unreasonable for this lineup not to win the championship......

It's a pity that in the double-line operation, Li Tuanjie's line was broken, and now they can only do their best to compete for Philadelphia's pride Iverson!

On the night of the matchday, the starting line-ups of both sides showed up on the pitch!

The Bucks' starting lineup is unchanged from the last game.

Nuggets' starting lineup: starting center Marcus Camby, starting power forward Hilario, starting small forward Kenyon Martin, starting point guard Melon Anthony, starting point guard Andre Miller.

Of course, Anthony's position belongs to the swingman of the forward, and the sense of position on the field is relatively vague...... It's not even a problem to say that Kenyon Martin is a swingman for the guard.

In this era, pure small forwards are few and far between......

This lineup is really not a star and a half stronger than the Bucks, and even the most hardcore Bucks fans don't think that the Bucks have the possibility of defeating the Nuggets!

The two weakest points in the Nuggets' current roster are ** and Kenyon Martin. But this doesn't mean that the strength of the two is not good, the instant combat power of the two of them is not too much, and they definitely have the starting level in which team they are placed in.

If these two can stay healthy, they will definitely be All-Star caliber players, and even Kenyon Martin was selected to the All-Star team in 2004!

It's fair to say that injuries have ruined these two players with unlimited potential, and if both are in their prime, the Bucks won't have much advantage on almost every point......

Especially Anthony, who averaged 26.5 points per game in the 05-06 season, known as the offensive kaleidoscope, played the first five games this season, scoring as much as 31 points per game, which is terrifying, and is currently competing with Kobe Bryant for the top spot in the scoring list, which is the top scorer in the league!

Needless to say, Marcus Camby, the veteran inside line is powerful!

And starting point guard Andre Miller, although he has not been selected as an All-Star in his career, he has always been in the top three of the assist list in the first two seasons, and even won the honor of assist king in the 01-02 season!

Last season, Miller averaged 14 points and 8 assists per game, which is like the level of the league's top point guards.

Good at assists, solid offense, and calm style of play, this is the label on Andre Miller, and it is also the best portrayal of his style of play!

As soon as this game started, Andre Miller made a few wonderful second passes to Anthony, allowing Anthony to comfortably score five points and lead the Nuggets to play a wave of rhythm!

Mike Reed also showed his defensive deficiencies at this time, he was okay to defend the kind of small rookie quarterback, but the defense was tall, as tall as 203 cm, and Anthony, known as the offensive kaleidoscope, was very powerless!

Whether it's Anthony's frontal projection or stabilizing his back-to-back singles, Mike Reed can't parry......

From the point of view of defensive efficiency, this may also be the reason why Reed has the stats alone, but not the league status that matches the stats!

Fortunately, fortunately, the Nuggets power forward ** opposite Li Tuanjie has no three-point ability, so that Li Tuanjie can sit on the three-point line for more time on the defensive end, and can help his teammates to assist in defense or make up defense, otherwise, I am afraid that in this first quarter of the game, the Bucks will be blown up by the opponent!

By the end of the first quarter, the Bucks had trailed by double digits, with an 11-point margin between the two teams, not a blow up, but not by much......

The reason why the score difference has been stretched so widely, in addition to the fact that there is indeed a big gap in the strength of the two sides, Mike Reed is also an important reason......

For a long time, Anthony has given fans the impression of being lazy, scoring big brushes, and basically not putting too much energy into the defensive end......

This impression is indeed not too wrong, compared to the offensive end, Anthony's performance on the defensive end is indeed not very good, but this does not mean that Anthony has no defensive strength!

Anthony's physical fitness is very good, 203 height occupies a lot of advantage in the position of the swingman, higher than most opposing players, born with a defensive advantage, if you stare at the defense, his defensive efficiency is actually very good!

In this game, Mike Reed was restrained by the staring Anthony......

This also led to Reed taking 6 shots in the first quarter and only scoring a measly 4 points, which was extremely inefficient!

And Li Tuanjie's situation is not much better, in this game the Nuggets used a change of defense, and the positions of Camby and ** are actually quite vague, both of them are players who can play center and power forward, so the responsibility of defending Li Tuanjie is naturally handed over to Camby, who has better athleticism and better height and arm span, to defend......

Anyway, the Bucks' center Gazuric is offensive scum, and he can be regarded as comfortable defending......

Under Camby's defense, one can imagine how difficult Lee's life was to unite......

If it weren't for the fact that before this game, the Bucks coaching staff specially formulated some offensive tactics for Li Tuanjie, then Li Tuanjie estimated that the data would be more embarrassing......

said that it was an offensive tactic, but in fact, the Bucks coaching staff also copied the Mavericks' elephant-mouse game, and the two of Lee, Unity and Boykins, have now become the poor man's version of the driver Terry combination......

It's just that Li Tuanjie's elephant mouse game is definitely a lot worse than the driver Terry, mainly because Boykins's height is really embarrassing, and Li Tuanjie's once shot, Boykins has already stood in front of Li Tuanjie and occupies a favorable blocking position......

In this case, Li Tuanjie naturally made a move with peace of mind, but Camby actually rewarded Li Tuanjie with a volleyball hat directly through Boigins......
