175 Total lockdown
49;29, the difference between the two teams was huge, the Nets called a timeout, and all the main players of the Nets returned to the court.
Horn is now playing small forward, and the position is very far away all of a sudden, and the Nuggets' defense is not very good at this time.
Horn came out and got the basketball smoothly, Horn got the basketball, and the Nuggets immediately went over to the bag without thinking.
Horn's swift pass to Henry Foss on the inside, Henry Foss is now facing Harrington, and the Nuggets' center came out to wrap Horn, so that Henry Foss scored 2 points with a very tough direct shot under the basket.
Horn immediately gave an assist at the beginning of the game, and the Nuggets couldn't go out to pack without a brain, and going out to pack without a brain is equivalent to giving away points.
George Carr hurriedly shouted at the court: "Horn dribbles and wraps, wait for Horn to dribble!" ”
George Karl set up the defense here, the Nuggets hit the Nets' half, and Gallinari immediately dribbled to force Horn.
Gallinari's intentions were too obvious at this time, Horn immediately grabbed a step to resist Gallinari, Gallinari changed direction, Horn defended faster than him, Gallinari used his shoulder to slam Horn, Horn is not good at the top inside, but it is more than enough strength with Gallinari, Horn resisted Gallinari to the death.
Gallinari didn't give up at this time, and suddenly wanted to force a shot on Horn's head, Horn seized such an opportunity and immediately made a super bounce, blocking Gallinari's offensive space in the air.
"Smack!"
Horn directly rewarded Gallinari with a block, and Gallinari had a smooth first quarter, but now the second quarter is open. The first attack was slapped in the face by Horn. And it's a merciless slap in the face.
Gallinari was suddenly in a bad mood. Horn snatched the basketball and when he turned back to run the fast break, Gallinari tried to break Horn's ball from behind.
Gallinari thought very easily, Horn saw Gallinari rushing so directly here, and immediately turned his body in front of him, changing his body to Gallinari, so that Gallinari hit Horn's ass directly from behind.
The referee happily gave Gallinari a foul, and Horn made Gallinari completely untempered. You attack me and I block you, you steal me, and I will make your foul right away.
The Nets restarted the game, and Horn ran to the baseline to get the ball.
Horn gets the ball in this position, and the players on the Nuggets side immediately wait to see Horn dribble, and I will wrap you up if you dribble.
But at this time, Horn didn't dribble, three threats to hold the ball, a tentative step, a dangling left and a dangling right. With a twist of his body, Horn was very steady here. Then it was up to the entire Nuggets players to wait to go over and pack, but they didn't dare to go over yet.
Gallinari was also waiting for Horn to fight, but Horn just didn't move, and this Gallinari was frizzy.
In the same moment as Gallinari's frizziness, Horn took a spying step and got up and threw a mid-range.
"Brush!"
Horn didn't dribble, the Nuggets didn't have a bag, and then Horn easily scored 2 points.
Horn easily scored these two points, and he got it! Oooo It turns out that this is the case, I stabilized, and the Nuggets were in a dilemma, so I was relaxed.
The Nets caught up with 2 points, and the Nuggets immediately chased back to play, and the Nuggets chased very fiercely, but at this time, Horn pressed Gallinari alone, and Lawson broke through with the ball and immediately encountered the Nets' double-high defense, and the defensive intensity of this interior line was much stronger than before.
Lawson missed, and the Nuggets' offense ruined another round.
The Nuggets have not scored in two or three consecutive rounds, and the Nets have a chance, and the Nuggets' defense, especially the defense without the ball, cannot be compared with the Grizzlies.
Horn easily got the basketball on the flank, and Horn, who took the ball, did the same as Fang Cai, the three threats were not in a hurry to attack, shaking, spying, and shaking, Gallinari was a quick temper and was very depressed by Horn's shake, he came up and made a steal directly, wanting to force the ball off.
As soon as Horn saw that Gallinari dared to reach out, he immediately raised his hand to meet his arm, and then made a shooting motion.
It was a fairly simple trick and the referee immediately gave Gallinari a second foul.
Horn easily walked to the free throw line and hit 2 free throws, and also made Gallinari 2 fouls, at this time George Karl hurriedly ran over to ask Gallinari to pay attention to the foul, if Gallinari fouled too much, the Nuggets' offensive firepower would be reduced by half.
Horn mixed up another 2 points, the Nets chased 6 points, and the Nuggets were also a little anxious at this time, the 20-point difference was rapidly reduced, can they not be in a hurry.
Lawson's side couldn't break through, and this round came to try to use the pick-and-roll and then the middle range.
At this time, Horn suddenly assisted in the defense from the side, and at the moment when Lawson made a move, Horn started the super bounce and directly gave Lawson a hot pot.
Horn gave Gallinari and Lawson a hot pot each, then drove the ball towards the Nuggets' half.
As soon as the Nuggets saw Horn get the ball, they hurriedly came up to wrap the bag, and Horn was in the crowd unhurriedly at this time, turning around and passing the ball to Brooks in the back.
Brooks is pure big vacancy, takes the ball and shoots three points, "Brush and pull!" "Brooks' recent three-pointer has grown again, mainly because there are too many opportunities to shoot.
Within a few minutes of the opening game, the Nets chased 9 points, and the difference was shortened to 11 points, 47:36, and the Nuggets were really in a hurry at this time.
The Nuggets were not afraid of the opponent's scoring, they were afraid that they would not be able to score, and after consecutive scorelessness, the ball was in Gallinari's hands again.
The Nuggets are not Grizzlies yet, Grizzlies can score through running, and the Nuggets have always singled first.
Gallinari was also under pressure at this time, and he used his true skills in front of Horn to change direction and suddenly force a breakthrough.
Gallinari's system can easily cause fouls when it breaks in, and he treats Horn like a normal person at this time.
Horn is no ordinary man, Horn is his nemesis, just when Gallinari forced a three-step break. Horn came in for a triple strike. Catch up with Gallinari in one step. The second step is to force it. In the third step, Gallinari flew up, and Horn also happened to fly up a big hat and slapped Gallinari in the face.
"Smack!"
Horn blocked Gallinari again, and Horn blocked Gallinari continuously, and Gallinari's face suddenly turned green.
He had never been so humiliated, and Gallinari grabbed the basketball and passed the ball to Williams after Horn blocked.
Williams dribbled with the ball here, and when the Nuggets came up on defense, he made a trademark sideways pull. Then jump out of the distance.
"Brush!"
Williams scored without a hitch.
The Nets scored 11 points in one go, leaving only nine points left between the two teams.
The Nuggets are being chased too fast now, but this is the Nuggets' basketball, they are fast ahead of others, and they are quickly caught up by others.
Their defense is not good, and the offense is also quite dependent on the individual performance of the players, so once the opponent has a trick on the defense, the offense is also good, which is very easy to chase back the difference.
At this time, Joan Barry said: "Although the Nets are not in good shape today, the adjustment of the little general is really successful, sending Horn to the small forward position almost completely blocking Gallinari and strengthening the team's outside defense." It's a brilliant change! ”
Rose also said at this time: "Horn is indeed powerful. It's really powerful, and it's been blocked three times in a row for a while. Completely contained Gallinari. Gallinari's speed, strength, technique, and consciousness were completely lost to Horn. Such a horn is really scary! The Hornets who didn't keep Horne this summer must be crying! ”
This Hornets fan saw Horne's performance even more dazzling than last season at this time, and it really wanted to cry.
Abby was very depressed at this time, if Horne was still in the Hornets now, the Hornets would definitely not play as badly as they are now.
It's a pity like the Hornets, there are still many teams, when Horne is ready to leave the Hornets this summer, many teams want to give Horne too high a salary, because last season Horne was a defender and a high battery, and he didn't have this season's ability to respond to the sky and break through, and now Horne can play so well, of course they regret it.
Now in fact, the Nets also regret it, and the Nets regret it because they signed Horn for too short a time, only a 2-year contract, and Horn performed so well that it can be called a sign of the Nets!
At this time, the general manager of the Nets was already pondering whether I should renew my contract with Horn early this summer to give Horn a big contract.
Horn doesn't actually have the mind to play in the Nets for too long, mainly because the Nets' bench is too terrible, so it's too tiring to play like this, and it's difficult to produce results.
George Karl hurriedly called a timeout at this time, the game was played to this point, and there had to be a change in the defense of Horn, otherwise Horn would have completely convulsed.
In addition, Gallinari must not play so directly here, two consecutive blocks have proved that Gallinari really can't beat Horn, this is an ironclad fact.
George Karl laid out a bit at this time to let the team play more blocking and pick-and-roll, which is already a more complicated tactic for the Nuggets.
The little general hurriedly arranged the attack here, he asked his players to cut more when Horn was holding the ball, and then asked Horn to pay attention to the players who cut in the air.
The Nuggets led so much before, but now they have been chased back, and Nuggets fans are very helpless at this time.
"We're a very poor defensive team! With a difference of 20 points, there are only 9 points left. ”
"Why can't my favorite Gallinari beat Horn at all! It's not scientific at all! ”
"Come on, Nuggets! We can't go on like this, we're going to lose. ”
"As Nuggets fans, you all lack a big heart as strong as steel!"
Nuggets fans are depressed while challenging, Nets fans are happy at this time, they were still complaining about their team's bad state, this is not good, that is not good, now the team is playing all of a sudden, and some fans immediately began to sing praises for Horn.
"Horn was really amazing, almost completely blocking Gallinari and scoring himself. Is this guy playing dead in the first quarter! ”
"Horn was teasing Gallinari before! easily deceived the other party with two fouls, and the two people are not on the same level in terms of IQ! ”
"In this way, we should be able to win!"
The fans and the situation on the pitch changed immediately. The Nuggets are on Alexander's side.
The Nuggets tee off after a timeout. Lawson came up and started playing with Farid. Two people did not have a chance to block and dismantle, Lawson went around to play a second block, and two consecutive blocks Lawson dismantled the ball to Farid, who took the ball and shot a small mid-range shot.
The Nuggets finally scored after minutes of scorelessness, and the margin returned to 11 points, 49, 38.
The Nuggets just hit a good shot, and the Nets immediately caught up and attacked, and Williams passed the ball to Horn on the baseline. Horn takes the ball and turns his back on Gallinari.
The Nuggets players saw that Horn finally dribbled the ball, we wrapped him, Horn saw the bag and immediately passed the ball to Brooks outside, Brooks received the ball and quickly transferred it to Williams at the top of the arc, Williams took the ball and raised his hand for a three-pointer.
"Brush!"
Williams had a good first quarter, and now the three-pointers are finally here.
The reason why the Nets fell behind in the first quarter was because several people in the opening game couldn't make it, and now the Nets' bodies are heating up, and the offense is finally on.
The Nets scored such a goal, and the Nuggets immediately felt a little uncomfortable. The main thing is that the Nets have a very clear path to the ball. Inside, outside, passing three-pointers, this offense has a good rhythm.
It can be clearly felt that the Nets just have one more Horn, and the rhythm of the whole team is different, and this ball is played very rhythmically.
The players on the Nuggets side are a little dumbfounded, they have strangled the Nets countless times with this defense before, why can't they do it this time.
In fact, before they lived in the Nets, the main reason was that the Nets themselves didn't shoot, but now that the Nets have shot, the Nuggets can't accept it.
The two teams struggled with the 10-point hurdle, at this time the Nuggets advanced very fast, rapidly advanced to the half of the Nets, Lawson took the ball and immediately passed the ball to Gallinari, Gallinari finally had a chance, he stood one step outside the three-point line, Horn had run back into the three-point line.
Such a bad opportunity, Gallinari also wanted to take it, he took the ball and shot quickly to shoot three points.
Horn is also desperate enough, this opportunity will not be given to you, although he can't block it, it also affects Gallinari's shot.
"Bang bang!"
The Nuggets missed such a critical offense, and the Nets grabbed the rebound and quickly pushed back to play the fast break.
Williams pushed forward with the ball Seeing that Horn reached the baseline first, he took the ball and quickly hung it in, Horn twisted his body with the ball, and immediately stepped back and raised his hand to shoot.
At this moment, Horn had already shaken Gallinari away, and he was ready to shoot, but Horn saw Gallinari jump. Isn't this a chance God gave him, Horn simply smacked Gallinari on him and made a foul.
The referee's whistle blew, and the fans at Pepsi Center didn't like it, and they roared at the courtside on the pitch, scolding the referee for being a black whistle and scolding Horn for being shameless.
Horn didn't care about them, and this time Horn made Gallinari 3 fouls, and he was able to go to the free throw line, what a wonderful thing, it was more cool than shooting a 3-pointer.
Gallinari was beaten down by Horn in the middle of the second quarter, and the young general was so happy that he jumped up on the bench with a grin and came out to celebrate.
Karl's face darkened, which was definitely a hell of a thing when the Nuggets came.
Joan Barry began to tout Horn again at this time: "Horn's basketball IQ is really high, and Horn can easily score 2 points, but he chose to go Gallinari, which is an absolutely correct choice, without Gallinari, the Nuggets can only use Chandler, although Chandler's offensive ability is also very strong, but his shooting options are worse than Gallinari." In this way, invisibly, the Nets have taken a lot of advantage! ”
Ross also said: "Gallinari lost to Horn in terms of skill and lost to Horn in terms of IQ. This is very undeserved, he is in a weak position, and he should play smarter. “
Ross said it very easily, but in the real world, who can admit that the other party must be better than himself, this is absolutely impossible.
The Nuggets are a little hairy here, and George Karl can only be replaced by Chandler at this time.
When Chandler played in the CBA, he was a player who couldn't be stopped at all, but when he came to the NBA, his physical condition could only be regarded as exciting, and his skills were not very characteristic of his own.
Playing in the NBA has to have your own characteristics, and a prominent one that no one can match you can make you a star and dominate the court.
LeBron is tall, strong and fast, Durant is tall and fast, Paul is strong and fast and can dribble. Chandler wasn't strong enough to shock the league, not so fast, not as accurate, not as skilled as Paul, and there was an essential difference between him and Gallinari, whose three-point shot was much more accurate than him.
This makes Chandler's positioning very difficult, he is a good player, but he does not have his own characteristics, which makes Chandler a little disadvantaged.
Compared with Chandler, Horn's characteristics are very distinct, tall, fast and all-round, Horn's combination of height and speed is something that Durant does not have, so Horn has a full dislocation advantage, not only can he attack by himself but also organize the whole team.
The Nuggets changed people on their side, rushed in and started to attack, Chandler couldn't shoot three-pointers, and suddenly pressed the Nuggets' space even smaller, at this time the Nets were still a three-high lineup, and the Nuggets suddenly couldn't attack, and they didn't play an offense for 24 seconds.
