In the shortened season, with only 50 games in the regular season, it seems like a lot of games, but the schedule is extremely dense, resulting in most teams experiencing injury crises and not being able to achieve a real ranking.

The Nuggets also encountered injury problems, Lafrentz was reimbursed for the season, and Fortson recuperated for a month, during which he also suffered minor injuries, but compared with many teams, the Nuggets are actually not miserable, but can always maintain a strong competitiveness.

Injuries have affected all of these teams' records, which is also an opportunity for the Nuggets.

In the intensive schedule, before you know it, a month has passed. The Nuggets have a relatively solid record, with only two games remaining, with a 25-23 record, temporarily ranking eighth in the West.

In ninth place is the SuperSonics, who were second in the West last season, but have suffered a sharp drop this season and are also the team most affected by the shortened season.

The SuperSonics are 24-24 and will need to win their final two games to qualify for the playoffs, as well as the Nuggets losing both.

There is no point, the SuperSonics want to make the playoffs, and there is little hope.

The sixth and seventh in the West are the Suns and Kings, the former has one more win than the Nuggets, and the latter has the same record as the Nuggets, but because of the superior record against each other, they are ranked above the Nuggets.

On top of that, the next game is a game between the Nuggets and the Kings. For the Nuggets, this is undoubtedly a battle of focus, and a win will not only lock up the playoffs, but also move up the rankings.

On the night of May 3, the Nuggets began to sit at home to meet the challenge of the Kings.

Before the start of the game, countless Nuggets fans wearing sky blue jerseys began to gather from all over the city.

As the number of fans grew, the arena became more and more noisy, filled with the chaotic sounds of fans.

"Guys, this game is very important, as you know, and I want to get a win. It's just that due to the back-to-back relationship, our physical strength is not dominant, unless there is a good opportunity, we can implement a fast attack, otherwise it is mainly slow-paced, do you understand? ”

D'Antoni has the tactical board in hand, his look is solemn, this game must be won.

"Got it!"

The answer is the same, but this time it's all the same, and as long as you win, you can secure a playoff qualification.

On the other side, like the Nuggets, the Kings are also excited and want to win.

Soon, the players from both sides took off their coats and started playing.

Nuggets starting lineup: McDyce, Fortson, Ji Liang, Billups and Van Exel.

After a month of recuperation, Fortson recovered from his injury and became the starting point for the Nuggets again.

As for Ji Liang, he was playing as a substitute some time ago, and after accumulating enough substitute games, he started to start again.

Of course, he will continue to lead the bench.

Kings starting lineup: Verratti Divac, Scott Pollard, Corris Williams, Tariq Abdou Wahad and Jason Williams.

In this Kings team, the core is naturally Chris Webber, but luck is clearly on the side of the Nuggets, only because Webber has been affected by injuries and is now recovering from injuries in Sacramento.

However, even without Webb, the Kings cannot be underestimated, and they also have Divac and Jason Williams to continue to play at Princeton.

Divac was one of the first European players to go to the NBA in the late '80s, and he is best known for his passing skills, although he is not yet an All-Star.

As for Jason Williams, who will be known as 'White Chocolate' in the future, he and Ji Liang are rookies in the same class, and now they have averaged 13 points and 6 assists per game, and they are also the best point guards in this rookie class.

In the jump ball, the 216-centimeter Divac, relying on his height and reach, won the ball for the Kings.

After Williams had the ball past half the court, he didn't act immediately, but watched his teammates go.

The offensive tactics of the Kings are, of course, Princeton's tactics. Its motto is, "The strong take advantage of the weak, and the smart take advantage of the strong." The essence is "human movement, ball movement, coordination." ”

This tactic focuses heavily on space, timing, observation, and execution. Space refers to the position and distance between players on the field, timing refers to the timing of passing, running and counterrunning, observation refers to observing the opponent's defensive position, and execution refers to the execution of basic techniques.

Among them, the counterrun is also the signature of Princeton's tactics.

However, this style of play has a special focus on inside passing, and the center that practices this style of play is called a playmaker.

If you want to play Princeton, you need all five people to pass the ball, shoot the basketball, love the organization, and stick to the overall basketball and team spirit.

At the first moment, Divac landed in the low post, stuck McDece behind, and reached out to Williams for the ball.

Without hesitation, Williams opted for a pass.

In the Kings' system, Divac is the team's playmaker and the Nuggets' biggest threat.

Divac leaned back, but instead of hitting McDyes, he took advantage of his excellent vision, observed the situation on the field, and was ready to pass the ball at any time.

Compared to the Nuggets, the Kings worked better together, and by constantly running back, opportunities soon appeared.

Without hesitation, Divac hoisted the ball out and passed it to Vahad, who ran out of space, who hit the shot.

After switching between attack and defence, Van Exel carried the ball through half court and then passed it to McDyce, who was stuck in position.

McDies first tested Divac's strength, and when he found that he couldn't move, he immediately shook his shoulders, and then used his right foot as the axis, and his left foot quickly completed the turn.

In the blink of an eye, McDyce took another step forward, and compared to Divac, his speed and agility took advantage of him, and he completed the breakthrough with ease.

After getting rid of Divac, McDyce stepped into the box and slammed the ball into the basket.

The Kings' offense, as last time, Williams passed the ball to Divac, who again organized it.

After a moment's wait, Divac found his chance to pass the ball to Collis Williams, who was suspected of running out of the 'open space'.

After receiving the basketball, Collis Williams subconsciously wanted to shoot.

Syllable~

It's a pity that Ji Liang was very fast, and the moment he lifted the basketball, he resolutely completed the steal.

After Ji Liang grabbed the basketball, Van Exel started quickly, and his speed was very fast, and he rushed towards the front court.

At the first time, Ji Liang threw the basketball hard, a long pass that almost ran through the whole court, accurately found Van Exel, and the latter scored a layup.
