At this time, it is the leaders who need to step up!

The No. 4 tactic is that Hayes pulls out the outside attack, and Camby is responsible for grabbing rebounds on the inside. D'Antoni did not plan such a tactic before the game. But the Nuggets' defense has hampered the Bobcats' offense.

NBA core players generally have the right to adjust their tactics appropriately on the court, and if everything depends on the coach to figure out how to do it after a timeout, the number of timeouts in a game is simply not enough.

Billups dribbled the ball across the half, Hayes stood on the inside and immediately ran back, and Billups' ball passed to Hayes.

Hayes wasn't fast enough to shake Kenyon Martin away, and he was well aware of that, and instead of turning around for a jumper after receiving the ball, he turned around and ...... Martin did follow behind Hayes and immediately stretched out his right hand, ready to break the ball.

If Hayes fakes with the ball, Martin knows he can't defend it. He's not very good at breaking through defensively. So the attention was always focused and ready to rack the ball off as Hayes turned.

But Hayes turned around, and Martin was taken aback. He didn't see the ball.

What about the ball?!

Hayes gestured with both hands on the ball, but his hands were empty. Hayes catches the ball and lets it go on the spot and then turns. Billups passed by him, picked up the basketball and moved sideways to make a stop-and-go jump shot! 3 to 6.

Billups' three-pointer was key, and the Bobcats needed to open it up urgently.

Joanbari exclaimed, "This kind of coordination is too rare. Hayes caught Martin's attention without the ball in his hand. ”

"It's a beautiful ball, I think they probably did it in the team, and if Billups didn't run in that direction, they wouldn't have been able to play together." Johnson laughed.

The Nuggets are still using the cover of interior players to hand over the gold to attack with two guns. This time, Anthony relied on Martin's cover pullup jumper missed, and Camby grabbed the rebound. The Bobcats launch a counterattack. Martin followed Hayes closely, and the two ran inside together, with Billups receiving a pass from Camby and handing it to Gerard Wallace, who handed it to Durant who followed up on the outside. The Nuggets have changed defenses, Dundee Jones and Wallace, and Anthony has set his sights on Durant, and his height defense Durant is not particularly at a loss. Durant didn't pause and handed it to Billups again.

At this point, Gerard Wallace took a step outside the three-second zone on the left and gave Hayes cover at a 60-degree angle to block Martin. Hayes ran back to the three-point line, and Billups' pass was delivered to Hayes in time. Hayes turned around and leaned back to shoot a three-point shot, which was very difficult, but Hayes's rhythm was very good, he didn't consider the opponent's defense, Jones was in a state of switching, there would definitely be a little pause, and Jones's bounce was not high, it was difficult to cover his shot.

Sure enough, Jones was slow to jump and could only interfere. Hayes, who shot with his touch, was not afraid of interference at all and hit steadily! 6 to 6.

The Bobcats made two three-pointers to recover the score.

After that, the hit rate of both sides began to decline, remaining at about 40%, and the sound of iron was constant. The Nuggets have always had a reputation for being terrible defensively, but the Bobcats players haven't had a good feel during this time.

In the first quarter of the game, the score ended in a 24-24 draw, and what was surprising was that the two teams actually fought hard to defend in the first quarter.

Johnson said: "In the first quarter of the game, the Nuggets had a good limit on Chuck. Chuck was at a height disadvantage, Martin defended around the front, and Chuck received the ball and easily fell into the bag between Martin and Nene. Whether it's catching the ball under the basket or grabbing a rebound in the frontcourt, Chuck is not easy to move. He doesn't have the height and has to use his feet to find space to shoot. The Nuggets had two spring men under the basket, which made him uncomfortable. The Nuggets' tactics are very clear, that is, to let the Bobcats pull to the high post to shoot at the center, at most the weak-side players went over to help defend it, and the Bobcats replaced Lopez, and today's high-level shooting is not very accurate. ”

"The Nuggets' defense today is very good, if they had played like this in the previous games, they probably wouldn't have conceded so many points. Is the Nuggets' current formation considered a joint defense? Joanbari laughed.

"The Nuggets should be playing 212 defense. Two players were on the outside defending the Bobcats' pitcher, one in the middle and the other two in the basket to limit Hayes. The Bobcats' two centers played badly today. Fortunately, the Nuggets' offense didn't open up. The Bobcats immediately withdrew to their own half after shooting, leaving Chuck alone to grab the frontcourt rebounds and defend 122 joint defense, the Nuggets' outside players are difficult to break through, the interior Martin and Nene offensive space is too small, and it is difficult to exert power, the Nuggets mainly rely on the outside Arenas and Anthony to shoot on the outside, Arenas became the main attacker in the first quarter, and his shooting percentage is not very high. Johnson analyzed the style of play of both sides in the first quarter, and the second quarter began.

Both sides have switched to the bench, with the Nuggets being Andre Miller, J.R. Smith, Kreza, Balkman, Gortat.

On the Bobcat side, it's Rondo, Azubuke, Mike Miller, Bagnani, Lopez.

Miller on both sides became the centerpiece of the early stages of the second quarter, with Andre Miller shooting average but better playmaking than Arenas. When he was with the Cavaliers, he was also the league's assist leader, and after coming on the court, he assisted Smith and Creza to hit three-pointers in a row.

Bobcats' Mike Miller hit a three-pointer and responded in the high post to assist Bagnani on a jumper. The scores of the two teams still failed to pull away.

After two minutes of play, D'Antoni said to Anthony Morrow, who was honestly watching the game: "Antony, do some preparation activities and get ready to play in a while." ”

Morrow scrambled to his feet. D'Antoni's words ignited a fire in his heart, and he felt that at this moment, it was about to explode! While preparing for the event, he silently recited in his heart: 'I have waited for a long time to finally wait for today, and I have dreamed for a long time to finally realize my dream......

D'Antoni said to Hayes and Billups: "I'm going to send five shooters in a moment, and I'm going to attack from the outside. Chuck yourself on the inside, if the Nuggets don't follow up on the inside, shoot them. ”

With 6 minutes and 47 seconds left in the second quarter, the Nuggets took the lead in sending Anthony, and "Melon" scored two consecutive back-to-back singles Miller, and the score became 32-38, and the Nuggets led by 6 points.

Bobcat requests a substitution. Billups, Morrow, Hayes, and Durant are four players on the court, and the center is Bagnani. In order to open up the Bobcats' offense, D'Antoni gave up on switching to Wallace, who defended better, and was ready for Durant to defend Anthony.

The current lineup of the Bobcats is not slow, and it can play into a 122 defense, even if Wallace is not there, it is not so easy for Anthony to play Durant with his body, and Hayes can help defend at any time. Durant isn't bad at interfering with outside shots either.

The Nuggets didn't switch to Arenas, allowing Anthony to read the offense and maintain Arenas' physical strength. Jr. Smith remained on the court, increasing his outside firepower.

Lynx positions attacked. Hayes went to the low post again to ask for the ball, and Martin continued to defend around the front. Nene didn't follow up on the outside either, and Bagnani pulled up high and Anthony defended. Smith followed Durant closely, Arenas was in charge of Billups, and the Nuggets opted to let Moreau go.

This is not surprising at all. Morrow hadn't played at all in previous games, and when he saw the name, Nuggets head coach George Carr's thought was that the Bobcats must have multiple injuries and no one available. No one cared about Morrow at all, and who cares about the 59-ranked rookie in the second round?

When Morrow was substituted, George Carr wondered why the Bobcats didn't bring on Azubuke at this time.

Moroma told the people the answer. Billups saw the opportunity and distributed the ball to the perimeter, with Durant and Billups drawing the defense on the left and right flanks, respectively. Morrow picked up the ball in the middle and was comfortably open.

It's too easy. There's nothing I can't fail to score in this position when I'm training. The moment Morrow jumped in the air and shot at it, he thought of these things.

Basketball hollow into the net! 35 to 38.

The Nuggets didn't care about the ball, and who would have thought that the Bobcats had a guy on the bench who shot as accurate as Mike Miller?

Moreau is anxious to show himself. The defense is also very hard, running at full speed at all times at the expense of physical strength to follow Jr-Smith, and he wants to make Smith unable to catch the ball. He knew that if he didn't seize the opportunity today, he would probably have to wait again if he wanted to enter the rotation lineup in the future.

Andre Miller organized the attack to the front and passed it to Anthony.

Anthony singles Durant with the ball on the outside. He played against Durant when he was training in the Dream 8 team, Durant's defensive skills are average, but his talent is excellent, a pair of long arms are outstretched, and those who are entangled by him are not good at shooting. Anthony chose to squeeze Durant with his body to break through to the inside, and suddenly came out with a hand from the side and slapped the basketball!

Hayes let go of Affirmation-Martin and took the ball off guard.

After playing more than a quarter, Hayes also figured out the Nuggets' offensive routine, and Martin usually only holds the ball and attacks when Anthony and Arenas are off the court. He doesn't pull up to the high post to cover, and his teammates can't pass the ball to him to the low post single, and his offensive efficiency is not high.

Hayes immediately looked for teammates after the break, and Billups and Morrow went down together. Both were defended by their side. Andre Miller's defense is top-notch among point guards, keeping up with Billups and J.R. Smith two steps away from Morrow. Hayes immediately made a long pass to Moreau.

J.R. Smith stepped back inside the three-point line. He knew that Morrow was just a substitute for the bench and that today was his first time playing for the Bobcats. Such a player will definitely not attack...... Such thoughts had just flashed through J.R. Smith's mind, and Moreau had already made a shot from beyond the three-point line on the left side. He didn't wait for his teammates to settle down, and if he didn't score, the rebound would have been the Nuggets'.

But will there be rebounds? In practice, Morrow's three-point shooting percentage is scary, and it is not uncommon for him to hit dozens in a row. Shooting in the open space outside the three-point line, he doesn't hesitate at all. The ball went in again. 38 to 38.

was shot three points in a row by an unknown player, Anthony's mentality was a little impatient, this time Martin pulled to the high post to cover, Anthony took the ball and just took a step into the three-point line and stopped the jump shot, Hayes jumped in time this time, put his hand in front of Anthony's eyes, and Anthony missed. Bagnani stiffened his breath and stuck Nene to grab the rebound in the backcourt.

Hayes was not at ease with Bagnani, so as soon as he landed, he turned around and ran inside, and Bagnani grabbed the rebound and handed it to Hayes. Hayes made a long pass to a running Durant.

Durant had already rushed to the three-point line and immediately took two big strides to the basket after receiving the ball. Kenyon Martin rushed up from behind, played to the strength of the beast, and covered the ball on the rebound. Billups, who followed up in the middle, picked up the basketball, turned his head to look to the left, and passed the ball with both hands to Hayes, who was quick to plug in. Hayes received the ball without stopping, and the ball was dialed to Morrow, who ran to the baseline. The defender of Morrow is still Jr-Smith, this time he is in front of Morrow, but Morrow is like no one in front of him, and he pulls out a jumper when he catches the ball.

Jr-Smith jumped up a little slowly, but his hand was already completely on Morrow's face.

"Rebound!" Anthony shouted.

There is only one Bagnani on the inside of the Bobcats, who is easily stuck on the outside by None. But no rebounds popped up. Moreau is still hollow in the face of being defended! 41 to 38.

George Carr rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, it was number 22 again. He can't even call a player who hits 3 three-pointers in a row, where did this guy come from?!
