Chapter 131: Changes in Nuggets

"Coach, what are we going to do?" Billups glared at George Karl, who was a little anxious about the terrible situation, and for this situation, George Karl, as the head coach, had to bear the main responsibility, because he completely did not take the Lakers' change into account.

George Karl was a little helpless, and he had also come up with some ways to deal with possible situations, such as what to do if the Lakers mainly play inside, what to do if they speed up the pace of the game, and how to prevent the pick-and-roll jumper...... All kinds of problems have been considered by George Carr, but the only thing he didn't expect is the current situation, what if the Big Apple plays point guard?

"Let's change people!" It is a bit impractical to adjust the tactics, and it is even more impossible to continue to fight like this, and only substitutions can achieve immediate results.

"Anthony Carter is off the court, replaced by JR, his height is enough to defend against the Big Apple!" After careful consideration, George Karl can only stabilize the main lineup at the expense of the attack power of the substitutes, otherwise if the main force is blown up, then the substitutes will be meaningless!

"But what about the substitutes, JR is the best sixth man!" Billups pointed out the problem, "Even if the situation is stabilized, the bench will not be able to do without the JR attack!" ”

"No way!" George Carr said coldly, "Now we can only do this, otherwise we won't be able to fight at all, as for the substitute, it's up to Kreza!" ”

After the pause, the Nuggets really got a lot better, in the face of JR's defense, Li Chen didn't make a strong shot, and he honestly handed the ball into Kobe's hands.

The boss of the defense is Billups, although Kobe Bryant is also 198 tall, but the great god is born with a small short hand, although Billups is a little difficult to defend, but it is not impossible to defend!

And the great god is also very direct, since the other party dares to use Billups to defend him, then he is bound to take advantage of this opportunity, just like Li Chen just ignored the opponent, Kobe Bryant is also ready to fight. Of course, he won't do such a thing as a forced throw, after all, the hit rate is not as guaranteed as the little brother!

Kobe Bryant chose to break through with the ball, Billups can often rely on his body to eat opponents against general point guards, but in the face of Kobe, his body is obviously not enough, and the great god squeezed into the interior very smoothly with his skills and body!

Then, when she went around Gasol's side, she quietly handed the ball, and her sister-in-law turned around and hit a mid-range shot, as for Martin, who was defending Gasol, he had already wrapped Kobe Bryant at the moment. Although Gasol's attack power is huge, it is not a joke to let the great god squeeze under the basket!

Van Gundy was very disdainful of George Karl's strain, "It's true that the Big Apple can't force the shot after the substitution, but the Lakers have turned to attack Kobe Bryant, it seems that the Zen master has expected this situation before, and he seems to have recognized Billups, because no matter who he defends, the Lakers will inevitably have an advantage at that point!" ”

The Nuggets' demolition of the east wall and the west wall was seen through after only one offense, George Karl shook his head, sure enough, it still didn't work, this situation made him a little helpless, the Lakers recognized Billups, and the Nuggets couldn't do without Billups, Billups, who has always been regarded as the savior by the Denver people, seems to have suddenly become a dead knot for the team.

Of course, even so, the Denver people would never think that Billups is not good, and the grassroots Finals MVP has already earned people's respect for his diligent professional attitude, which is only due to the fact that the Lakers are too strong.

"But, Jeff, what would you do if you were faced with this situation?" Mike Brin tried to cry out for George Karl, "This trick of the Lakers seems to be unsolvable!" Billups is like Yao Ming in the previous game, and the Lakers are firmly focused on this, after all, no matter how much the Nuggets change, they can't abandon Billups! ”

"Well, I can't think of that!" Originally, Van Gundy didn't rely on on-the-spot adaptation to eat, he just strengthened the defense again and again!

Mark Jackson had been under Van Gundy for a while, and he knew all too well how many pounds his partner had. "Jeff has a good idea, he'll tell us to step up our defense!" Although Van Gundy's words were very comfortable to listen to, the other party's teasing expression still made him see the problem.

Van Gundy smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's because I can't help it, so I didn't continue to be a coach, and the commentary seat is the most suitable place for me!" But the problem is that George Karl is not a commentary seat, and as the head coach of the Nuggets, he needs to help the team get out of the current predicament! ”

George Carl glanced at the commentary seat in disgust, he was already annoyed enough, but those people still wanted to make fun of him, and the old handsome man who was annoyed suddenly felt as disgusting as eating flies, and the Stamps Center was like a pile of flies, and George Carl, who was under pressure, was almost unable to bear it.

"Flies!" The old man suddenly had an inspiration, and he seemed to have thought of a way to restrain himself.

"The Nuggets called another timeout, I wonder what George Karl is trying to do?" Mark Jackson looked at the Nuggets' bench with a little curiosity, and George Karl seemed a little excited, "I can see that he is no longer depressed, is there any way to think of it?" ”

Jackson's words made Mike Brin look forward to it, he has always been neutral, so he also wants to see a close Western Conference Finals, and he is a little disappointed that the current situation of the game is not suspenseful!

"I'm really looking forward to George Carr's approach, after all, I want this game to be worthy of the crowd who bought tickets to come in!"

Mike Bryn's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance made Jackson very disdainful, "Dude, if you have to pull the audience, I suggest you add the word neutral." After all, for Lakers fans, this one-sided situation is what they like the most, as for the suspense, whoever likes to watch it, I believe they won't like to watch it anyway! ”

Mark Jackson's words resonated with the audience, and many even sent applause in the direction of the commentary seat. Indeed, they just want to see the Lakers win the championship, and as for the process, it's best if it all goes smoothly, and if the game against the Nuggets can be like it is now, it couldn't be better!

"Come back after a pause, let's wait and see what happens to the Nuggets!" Although the attitude of the crowd made Brin sad, it was the game that mattered!

This season's Nuggets have added a Billups, while the Lakers have added a new Big Apple, and both have been instrumental in making their respective teams' offense more fluid. In the eyes of fans, the styles of the Nuggets and Lakers are becoming more and more similar.

First of all, both teams are very fond of the run-and-gun style, with the Lakers being the sixth-fastest team in the NBA and the Nuggets being the fastest-paced team in the NBA, and with Billups joining, the Nuggets' style can even be mistaken for the same Warriors they were two seasons ago.

Secondly, the defense of both teams is also very good, the Nuggets are ranked ninth in the NBA in defensive efficiency, while the Lakers are ranked 6th, although the individual defense of the Big Apple is not very good, but in fact, the overall defense of the Purple and Gold is still very good, of course, if they do a better job of blocking and pick-and-roll, then I believe this ranking can be improved.

The Nuggets' offense has changed the most this season, as they were in the upper middle of the 11 in offensive efficiency last season, but after Billups joined, they suddenly moved up three spots in the rankings, and a good point guard can significantly reduce the team's turnovers.

Compared to the Nuggets, the Lakers' offensive efficiency is more terrifying, they are even higher than the Cavaliers, who are the first in the regular season, and the addition of the Big Apple makes their offense stronger than ever.

After a comparison, it can be found that the most significant feature of the Nuggets is their pace of play, although the Lakers are not slow, but in George Carr's view, if the rhythm of the game can be pulled up, then the Nuggets seem to have a chance. Otherwise, the series could be a tragedy. In the current situation, even if it was just a glimmer of life, George Carr felt he had to give it a try.

"Obviously, the Nuggets want to bring the pace!" Van Gundy's eyes lit up, "They've figured out what the problem is, and if they can play their best game, then maybe there will be something to watch in this game." ”

The change in the partner's position made Mark Jackson couldn't help but tease, "Jeff, didn't you just say that you couldn't think of a way?" ”

Van Gundy was very generous, "So I'm a commentator, and George Karl is a head coach!" In other words, George Karl's task is to come up with a solution, and my job is to push George Carl to come up with a solution, so George Karl is a good manager. ”

Speaking of this, Van Gundy paused, and Mike Brin took the lead to pick up the topic, Van Gundy's wit made him appreciate it very much, and Brin rarely took the initiative to praise his partner.

"And you, Jeff, I'm sure you're a great narrator!"

"What a coincidence, I think so too! Jeff, the next time you choose the most popular commentator, you have to beat someone, because he can't talk about the game because he can't tell the game! "You don't have to guess who Mark Jackson is referring to, but the TNT trio led by Barkley has been trying to upset the ESPN trio as the industry leader.

The commentary bench was certainly hilarious, but the game was the focus, especially George Carr seemed to have figured out a way, and the audience watched even more attentively.

Billups, who was instructed by his coach, consciously accelerated his dribbling speed, and the previous game made him unprecedentedly aggrieved, and he urgently needed a free attack to relieve the depression in his heart.

In the face of Li Chen's defense, Billups dodged quickly, and then he handed the ball to Martin, who followed up.

Although Martin, who is good at aerial work, also wanted to detain one to vent his anger, but considering the strength of the Lakers' twin towers, he still did not put his ideas into practice in the end. There seemed to be an opportunity for the side-eyed cat to JR Smith, and Martin handed over the basketball he received a little reluctantly, and he also knew that the Nuggets were not in a good situation right now, and they had to find the right time to perform.

Although JR is nicknamed Nerve Knife and is also known as Madman, this also reflects his strength from the side, and the more entangled he is, the more decisive he becomes. It's not uncommon to see JR use his Martian-like physicality to pull off explosive offenses, and this time he was no exception.

After getting the ball, J.R. Smith's feet flew over the human wall built by Bynum and Gasol like springs, and then a violent frame, the Lakers' proud twin towers became the best backdrop this time.

Oh! Towels suddenly flew on the Nuggets' bench, and people like Anderson, who couldn't calm down, were even more emotional, Birdman stood on the bench and roared loudly, as a member of the Nuggets, he also felt aggrieved for the previous game.

Although George Karl knew that his disciple's reaction was a little inappropriate, but in the end he still did not interfere with the celebration of the players, and even he himself wanted to shout out, not to mention these young and passionate players, J.R. Smith's explosive dunk made all the members of the Nuggets feel happy, and they seemed to see the turn of the game!

Bynum and Gasol glanced at each other, and the two shook their heads a little helplessly, after showing off their power for so long, this time it has finally become someone else's background wall, and the taste of it can't help but feel like feng shui is taking turns!

But can this dunk really sound the horn of the Nuggets' counterattack? Obviously, this needs to be proven by the next races! (To be continued.) )
