173 Free Shot Nuggets
In today's game, the Nets didn't play well at the beginning.
The Nets didn't play well on the offensive end, and they didn't play well on the defensive end.
Gallinari took the ball and used a block to cut to the Nets' restricted area, where Gallinari dribbled to the first turn, and Horn also took a step slower here, allowing Gallinari to shoot a mid-range shot directly from the baseline.
"Brush!"
Gallinari scored another 2 points, 6-0, and the Nuggets played very easily, which is a very lethal thing.
The Nets' defensive intensity today can't keep up, and the concentration and effort of playing against the Nuggets are not on the same level.
Nuggets head coach George Karl also had a little feeling when he looked at the court at this time, and he knew that the Nets were tired.
There have been so many big battles in front, it's strange that you are not tired at this time! Looks like my team is going to pick up the bargain today!
While George Karl was a little happy here, the Nuggets' players were also a little slack, they usually played offensive basketball, and there was a hole immediately after a little nervousness in the opening game.
Williams came over and passed the ball to Horn, when all the Nuggets players were looking at Horn, Williams easily drilled to the basket, Horn passed the ball to Williams, and Williams made a quick throw to score 2 points.
The Nets relied on a defensive inattention from the Nuggets to finally score, and Nuggets head coach George Carr didn't say anything special at this time. George Carr is one of only a handful of thousand-win coaches in the league.
George Karl's coaching ability is not bad, but he has not led the team to a championship and has not created a dynasty of his own. His weakness is also that he is not good at interpersonal relationships. The stars he has worked with before and after have been critical of George Karl.
The Nuggets' management actually didn't like George Karl at this time. George Carr can be said to be the type of person who is a failure. He's not the same as Hollins. Hollins is somewhat immutable, and George Carr is a person who makes others unhappy, that is, annoying.
Tactically, George Karl is also a little rougher, he doesn't have so many nuanced methods, and he tends to open up and close tactically, and the rough branches and leaves also make the team have some potential that cannot be realized.
Just look at the two Nuggets before and after, and you can understand that the Nuggets even had their best season. Although there is defense, it is definitely not subtle in terms of offensive tactics.
The Nuggets are also a rough team now, Gallinari took the ball and pushed up, leaned against Wallace with his ass at 45 degrees, and suddenly turned around and dribbled towards the baseline, and directly shot the mid-range.
As far as Gallinari's offensive style is concerned, if it was in the Grizzlies, he would have been sprayed by Hollins for a long time. But with the Nuggets, there's no problem playing like that, and George Karl also encourages players who have the ability to play singles, and that's the difference in philosophy between coaches and coaches.
There are always some things in American basketball that go against other people's common sense, and coaches in other countries have to pay attention to what is reasonable. What a fit or something. But the United States, the most powerful country in the world in basketball, has a large number of head coaches who indulge their players to play individually. You say he's not right. But the results of his team are not bad, and some teams have entered the finals, and if you say he is unreasonable, they can still beat you with unreasonable basketball.
Therefore, the basketball concept of the United States is leading the world as a whole, and this is definitely not the case not only for the issue of race. There are also a lot of blacks in Europe, but they can't train American players.
The basketball philosophy, the training method, and the overall basketball atmosphere in the United States are all too good. This has made the United States the leader of world basketball, but it has also caused some problems in basketball, except for the NBA in the United States, other world games are not as exciting and attractive as the NBA.
Of course, there is also the problem of rules, and the rules of the NBA have actually been modified to be more spectacle and practical than world basketball. A lot of the rules of world basketball are actually lagging behind, and they naturally don't play as well as the NBA. For the polishing and honing of players, world basketball is also insufficient.
World basketball is clearly lagging behind, but there are many head coaches and basketball practitioners in other countries who feel that the NBA is a commercial league, and the basketball they play is not very authentic, and they are authentic, which is really a kind of mentality of sitting and watching the sky.
Gallinari missed a mid-range shot of his own, which was supposed to be a great opportunity for the Nets, as the basketball hit the hoop and flew out.
At this time, Horn and Lopez were a little tired and sluggish, and after a little sluggish effort, the basketball was snatched by the Nets' Farid, who is known as a little monster, and his athleticism is really not covered.
After Farid grabbed the rebound, he immediately jumped on the spot and scored 2 points, 8:2, and the Nuggets came up to further widen the difference.
The Nets are playing really badly now, and once again in the Nuggets' half, the Nets want to play well.
The basketball gave Horn a playwedge from the perimeter, Williams ran a no-ball run, using two guys to cover from the bottom foot to the high post, and when Horn passed the ball to him, Williams was still in an open position at the free-throw line.
The Nuggets are actually not very good defensively now, but they can't shoot with the Nets themselves, and the Nets have not seized several very good opportunities.
The Nuggets don't care about the Nets, and the Nuggets are playing extremely smoothly now because they're more prepared and their players are in better shape.
Lawson came up to cover Faried, then turned back and passed to Faried, who came up and threw another 2 points.
At 10:2, the Nets were too far behind at this time, and the little general came up and roared to make the team play better.
The Nets did play better, the team ran out of position again, Horn also got the ball in Division 2, Horn shot a long shot at this time, Horn didn't actually shoot.
Horn has missed all the shots, and the Nets really don't have much hope this time.
Just as Horn missed the shot and the Nets were in a trance, Ty Lawson rushed over with the ball and jumped up and threw a 3-pointer directly from the three-point line.
"Brush!"
Ty Lawson easily hit another 3-pointer. 13:2. The Nuggets led the Nets by 11 points. At this time, the little general could only call a timeout.
Rose was also a little stupid at this time to explain the game, he said to himself on the side: "How could the Nuggets beat the Nets so easily, the Nets' performance was too poor, so many good opportunities were not shot, is this still the Nets!" ”
"Horn's performance is just average! He also didn't shoot in the open slots, and he didn't play his part in the organization! ”
Rose was complaining on the sidelines, and the little general was also complaining about his players on the pitch at this time, and his players played really badly today. But the young general also understands the state of the players at the moment.
At this time, the little general can only count on his players to adjust their state back, and when they get to the bench, the little general also keeps telling his players to play patiently, play slowly, and slowly look for opportunities.
The young general knows that his players are not in good shape now, and there is no good result in hard work, so take it slow or have a surprise effect.
After the timeout, the Nets really started to play slowly, and the Nets are now playing in a double strategy, with Horn and Lopez both appearing in the high post, and both of them pulling out. Then Williams suddenly ran out and got the ball and shook it twice, completely messing up the Nuggets' defense.
At this time, Williams ran out of space to shoot himself, and turned back and passed the ball to Horn. Horn was outside the three-point line, suddenly broke through with one step, and directly passed Faryd, past Faried Because there were no tall players under the Nuggets' basket, Horn scored 2 points with an easy layup.
The Nets finally scored points, and Horn also found some sense that the Nuggets' defense under the basket was not very good.
Farid the Beast looks intimidating, but in fact he is too short to cover the entire basket with a short inside line like a tall inside liner.
The Nets' offense has succeeded, and the defense has finally improved, and the Nuggets' current offense still relies on Lawson and Gallinari. As long as the defense of these two people is strengthened, it will have a good effect.
In this round, Williams strengthened his defense against Lawson, Lawson broke through, and Horn also hurriedly ran out to defend.
Lawson is not the kind of player who is against the sky, the defensive pressure is enough, and he has no way to score, and in the end, Lawson misses a mid-range shot, and the Nets finally defend the Nuggets for a round.
The Nets grabbed the rebound and quickly advanced to the Nuggets' half, Williams took the ball in front of him, and Horn came up to block it.
The Nuggets' defense was really not very good, the back immediately showed the butt, the basket was empty, Stevenson easily drilled to the basket, Williams passed, Stevenson scored 2 points on the layup.
The Nuggets scored fast, and now they are losing points quite quickly, losing 4 points in the blink of an eye, 13:6, and the Nets are about to catch up.
This shows that the Nuggets are also unstable, and the defense is not very good, even if the Nets are led by 7 points, it is not a big deal.
On the Nuggets' side, Lawson couldn't play alone, and now he was immediately replaced by Gallinari, who dribbled two steps on the wing and suddenly made a step-back jumper in the face of Gerrard.
Gerrard was very defensive, went up for a block, and Gallinari missed here.
The Nuggets' previous simple play didn't work, Lawson singled and Gallinari failed in a single.
Once the Nuggets fail, the Nets got the basketball and immediately chased the ass to the fast attack, Williams quickly approached the Nuggets' half with the ball, and when the Nuggets blocked the middle, Williams made a signature horizontal pull, and then suddenly passed the ball to Horn who followed behind.
Horn saw that the eyeballs were about to arrive in the back, opened a triple attack, took a step, received the ball, put his feet together to adjust, and then jumped directly out of the third step.
With a 10 percent shooting percentage, Horn made a three-point shot.
At 13:9, the Nuggets were still leading by 11 points before, but now they have no breath and are directly chased up.
The Nuggets were still very cool, but now they are depressed all of a sudden, they were so far ahead before, and they thought they could win! But now they have been chased back all of a sudden, which shows that the Nets have potential and ability, and they are not easy to beat.
George Karl also saw the potential of the Nets at this time, and the Nets' current combat power has not been fully developed to be able to play like this. I underestimated the Nets before.
The Nuggets are back on their side. Still stubborn and unchanging. They don't play with the offense. It's just that he reversed the direction of the attack and began to let Afflaro attack, and Afflaro is a player with a lot of willpower.
Watching him play, you can feel that whatever this person does, he will definitely be able to do it, and now it is his turn to play Stevenson, which is not too difficult for him, and his back resisted Stevenson's sudden step back, and Afflaro successfully scored 2 points.
There are just a lot of players on the Nuggets' side who can score. You hold me one, I have another, I hold two or I am the third, and the Nuggets scored two points on Afralo.
The Nuggets are very unreasonable to play like this, it doesn't make sense at all, but they just have these players, they can score.
After the Nets only played a few good shots, they began to stiffen again in the Nuggets' half, and came over to pass the ball directly to Horn, who was beaten by the group when he wanted to play. Horn passes the ball out, and the Nets' own teammate misses a three-pointer.
Today, the Nuggets defended this routine very well. As long as you fight directly from Horn, they can lock you up. If the Nets were to take a more flexible approach, the Nuggets wouldn't have much to do.
The Nuggets' defense looks like a trick, and they can only defend one of the opponent's offensive modes, but this offensive mode is the main organizational mode of the Nets, which makes the Nets a little hard.
The Nets missed a single shot, and the Nuggets immediately attacked on their own, the reality Lawson came up to play, Lawson dribbled twice and looked at it, I gave Galinali, Gallinari couldn't dribble twice, turned around and passed the ball to Afflaro, Afflaro wanted to pass the ball and had no time, so he could only force his shot to throw a three-point shot.
"Bang!"
Afflalo misses a three-point shot, but the lucky basketball on the Nuggets' side flew out and was grabbed by Birdman Anderson.
Anderson, who grabbed the basketball, gave the basketball to Gallinari, who took advantage of his teammate's block to break through and pass the ball back to Lawson.
Lawson took the ball and forced a breakthrough directly, and Horn went out to help defend at this time, but he was sentenced to a foul after only making physical contact with Lawson.
Horn was depressed at this time, his defensive moves were very clean, and there were no extra moves at all. The referee awarded himself a foul that was mostly the principle of the one who tended to break through, and in the end he threw the responsibility to himself.
Horn felt that this was not good, so he hurriedly jumped out and theorized with the referee, putting pressure on the referee, so that the referee would reconsider the next penalty.
The referee explained to Horn here, Lawson hit both free throws from the free throw line, and the Nuggets started scoring.
At 17:11, the difference between the two teams returned to 6 points, but at this time, no one felt that the Nets had no chance when they were at a disadvantage.
The Nuggets' performance has shown that they are very inconsistent, and the Nets may also surpass them by many points at any time.
The Nets were still very patient when they got to the Nuggets' half, Williams dribbled and swayed, passed to Horn, Horn broke through and passed the ball behind his back, and then didn't find a chance, and then passed it out to Gerard Wallace, Wallace passed Williams, Williams returned to Horn, and Horn made a mid-range shot on the wing.
The Nets play a lot of complicated passes, and it's a new way for them to deal with today's game.
The Nuggets are now up Gallinari or forced a single by himself, but he was blocked, and he couldn't break through at all, in this case he could only pass the ball to Afflalo, who was indeed the most mature player in the Nuggets, he took the ball and desperately pressed the low post, and then suddenly transferred it to Lawson in a large area.
Lawson had a chance this time, and Afraro broke the Nets' defense, and Lawson hit a shot from the three-point line.
At 13:20, the Nuggets led by 7 points, and today the Nuggets are more advantageous on offense, and their pure offensive ability is stronger, especially at the three-point line.
The Nuggets' pure offensive ability is stronger, and the Nets are still stronger defensively, and the Nets have played everyone else before.
In this round, Lopez took the initiative to go out to get the ball, Williams passed the ball to Lopez, and Lopez turned back to single the Birdman.
Birdman Anderson is famous for his blocking in the league, but any player who is famous for blocking is stronger in helping defense.
Because only the help defense has a lot of opportunities for blocking, and it is difficult for a real one-on-one defense to appear.
Birdman Anderson's one-on-one interior defense is not so strong, at this time the bird faced Lopez, who was much taller than himself, and he didn't have a chance to jump, Lopez just leaned on him, and then turned back with a hook, which was no way to block at all.
Lopez relied on the hook hand to score 2 points!
Both teams are now very good offensively, scoring very quickly, only halfway through the first quarter, both teams have already scored almost 20 points.
The Nuggets enjoyed the rhythm, and Gallinari didn't get a chance to attack for several rounds in a row, when the Nuggets entered the halfcourt again. He finally found his way to capitalize on a pick-and-roll from Farid and he jumped up quickly from behind to shoot a mid-range.
15:22, this is only half a quarter, the Nuggets have already scored 22 points, this offensive firepower is completely incomparable to the Grizzlies.
The Nets just played a game against the Grizzlies, and now they are playing against an opponent of the Nuggets' style, and they are also very uncomfortable.
The Grizzlies run several laps, wrestling for dozens of seconds and finally shooting, while the Nuggets run over no matter who they are, as long as they feel they can fight, they will hit directly. The two teams are completely different, and the Nets are really a bit uncomfortable here.
If you want to win a team like the Nuggets, you still have to rely on defense, but at present, the Nets' physical strength is not good, the physical consumption is too great, and if they desperately defend in the first quarter, the little general is afraid that it will collapse in the second half.
For a while, the young general was also embarrassed, and I shouldn't have stepped up my efforts on the defensive end in the first half. (To be continued......)
