Chapter Forty-Six: George's Obsession

The game came to an end, the third quarter of the game was over, and the final quarter of the fourth quarter was about to begin.

At this moment, George Karl, the head coach of the Nuggets on the sidelines, as a famous coach in the league, George is frowning at the moment, reaching out and constantly practicing on the tactical board, trying to find a strategy to deal with the Timberwolves.

The famous coach in the league is worried at the moment, the current lineup of the Timberwolves is not strong, although the players present are very talented and potential, waiting for them to grow up in the future, they are bound to become a strong team in the league in the future, but at present, they are not enough!

It's not enough to win the Nuggets with this lineup, in the third quarter, the young players of the Timberwolves broke out one after another, either with a fast break basket and a sudden dunk, or an outside three-point burst cold arrow, or a defensive end to seize the opportunity and steal a block, turning the Nuggets' mistakes into offensive opportunities...... The young Timberwolves did all this well, but George Carr still had full confidence in winning this game.

With the Timberwolves' style of play, although the momentum has risen, they don't understand that such a desperate effort at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends will increase the speed of physical exertion, and by the middle of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves, who have huge physical exertion, will not have a chance to win against the Nuggets who still have good physical strength.

The principle of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion is the same on the basketball court.

What really worries Nuggets head coach George Karl is the problems exposed by the Nuggets in this game, which are serious and even fatal.

The Nuggets' roster configuration is not bad, and players at all positions have unique talents and strengths, but when faced with high-intensity defense, the Nuggets' problems on the offensive end are once again exposed.

It is true that the Nuggets, who broke into the Western Conference finals last year, are regarded as one of the favorites by many teams this year in this new season, but George Carr knows very well that the team that can break through from the West to the finals this year will be the Lakers, the Suns, and the Spurs, but it will not be the Denver Nuggets.

The Denver Nuggets haven't made much changes in trade this year, basically retaining last season's roster, which may sound good, but in fact, the Nuggets have dropped a lot from last season.

After a serious knee injury, power forward Kenyon Martin is no longer as strong as he used to be, and two weeks into the new season, he is averaging 8 per game for the Nuggets. 6 points 6. With 2 rebounds, the state slipped to the lowest point of his career.

The once inside thug, Kenyon Martin, who played violently and passionately, was gone, and after the glory passed, all that was left for Kenyon Martin was loneliness and bitterness.

Although Carmelo Anthony, the core of the team, has all the perfect characteristics of a scorer, his touch has always been a difficult problem to test the nerves of the head coach.

The offensive kaleidoscope is indeed powerful, and the offensive methods are full of tricks and cannot be prevented, but once the game reaches the playoffs and encounters a team like the Timberwolves on the defensive end again, whether Anthony can take on the big role is always a debatable.

As a superstar, Anthony has a lot of offensive methods, but he has always lacked one of the most lethal offensive methods, and until now, Anthony has not been able to win the scoring title.

To exist is to be reasonable!

As his mentor for many years, George Carr was deeply aware of the shortcomings of his proud disciples, sometimes fatal, sometimes inconsequential.

George Carl sighed, leaving behind his complicated thoughts, his body ached faintly again, and there were bursts of sharp pain from the depths of his old body, and cold sweat slowly slipped down the top of George Carl's head.

He understands that his time to coach this season is running out, and even if there is little hope of winning the championship this season, he still wants to fight, and this year is really the most promising year!

The Denver Nuggets, he's put too much effort into here, how many superstars have shined here?

George Carr's old face was a little dazed, he remembered the immaturity of Carmelo Anthony when he first entered the league, and the Tanhualang at that time was at a loss for coming to Denver.

At that time, the Denver Nuggets had the worst record in the league, but when this smiling young man arrived, this unnoticed highland team once again gained the attention of the league.

At that time, Carmelo Anthony's madness, which George Karl has always admired, was that when he received an invitation from the Nuggets in '05, he gave up his position as a commentator and came to this small highland city.

And that stubborn back, fluttering No. 3 jersey, AI, this kid is still the same stubborn until he leaves, even if his steps become sluggish and injured, he is still tenacious and refuses to expose his weak side.

What was the scenery when the Western Golden Twin Guns were formed?

There's also Nene, Kenyon Martin, who is now plagued by injuries, and Chauncey Billups, who is getting older......

Tears rolled in George Karl's cloudy eyes, he owed many people a championship!

Many talented young players have come to Denver from far and wide, but they have to endure the pain of years without a championship, and when their careers come to an end, will they be left with regret or pain?

George Carr's heart swelled with iron, he would never allow this to happen!

George Karl gritted his teeth to endure the pain in his body, and said to the Nuggets players in a deep voice: "Boys, are the young Minnesota on the other side hot-blooded?" Have you confessed? ”

"Our goal is to win the championship, even if this road is dangerous, no matter how difficult it is, we have to go on resolutely, we have gone through too much, suffering, injuries, grief and anger, these are with us, but is it your choice to give up?"

Carmelo Anthony's sharp eyes noticed that there was some pain in the head coach's expression, he quickly helped the head coach George Karl, and asked worriedly: "Boss, what's wrong with you?" ”

George Karl steadied the pain, endured the pain and said hoarsely: "My body won't allow me to support it for too long, but I will do my best to support it, I hope to be able to watch it get stronger, and know to see you win the championship with my own eyes!" ”

The Nuggets were a little panicked when they heard this, and even Kenyon Martin, who had always been unruly, had slightly red eyes.

George Karl is used to yelling, scolding players, and reprimanding players for being irresponsible, but he's a good old man, he's respectable, he allows players to make mistakes, he understands that no one can do wrong.

Behind the roaring and scolding of the silver-haired old coach, there is a love for the players, which can be deeply felt.

Kenyon Martin's eyes revealed a hint of determination, and the stubborn man who refused to admit defeat gritted his teeth and said: "Coach, we will definitely win this game!" ”

No matter how difficult it is, he must do it!
