Counting the six most regrettable trades in the league since 2000, it must have included Iverson going to the Pistons.

At the start of the 2008-09 season, the Pistons and Nuggets made a rather surprising deal.

The Pistons sent Billups, McDyce and Sambu and traded late Iverson from the Nuggets for late Iverson.

It is worth mentioning that Iverson was 33 years old at the time, and the four-time scoring champion played 82 games in his last full season with the Nuggets, averaging 26.4 points in 41 minutes per game, ranking third in the league behind James and Kobe Bryant.

Objectively speaking, although the Nuggets' "golden double guns" are not a success - they only won one game in the two playoffs, Iverson has not been wronged much in Denver, and the Nuggets have great respect for the veteran.

Anthony treats him as a big brother, George Karl has always regarded Iverson as the core of the team, and Denver fans also hold Iverson in the palm of their hands, but unfortunately in order to win, Nuggets management had to make the best decision, just like the 76ers decided to send him away, and Iverson went to the Pistons because of this.

And after going to the Pistons, Iverson started a nightmare basketball career at the end of his career!

Of course, in Lin Mu's view, there are traces of the dissolution of the "Golden Twin Guns".

Iverson and Anthony's offense is speechless, they are both the most feared attackers in the history of the league, no one can defend them one-on-one, and the name of Melon and Eucalyptus is that it comes from working hard little by little with both hands.

But aside from the offensive end, the two superstars have been lackluster on the defensive end.

Attack 10,000 people and stab!

If there was only one Anthony before the Nuggets, then after Iverson's arrival, the defense of the Nuggets' No. 2 and No. 3 positions was completely reduced to the bottom of the league!

The starting five tigers, the two most important positions were easily blasted by the opponent, which in the cruel west, can not be played in any way.

In the 07-08 season, he faced the Lakers in the playoffs and was easily swept 4:0 by the opponent.

Although Iverson and Anthony played well, they couldn't stand the more difficult combination of Kobe Bryant and Gasol on the opposite side.

In the 06-07 season, facing the Spurs in the playoffs, despite winning a victory, they still lost the game with a score of 4:1 and lost to the old and spicy GDP led by Popovich.

After two seasons of experience, Nuggets management learned from the pain and finally decided to send Iverson away in exchange for a stronger defensive end and a better tandem player at the No. 1 position: Chauncey Billups!

The arrival of the Pistons' strongest brain has given this team everything that it never had before.

Tough defense, better teamwork, and big brother-like temperament have made the whole team condense into a rope, and even Cameron Anthony, the arrogant platinum tanhua, honestly follows everything in the team.

You must know that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between Anthony during the Nuggets period and coach George Karl, and even more than ten years later, after Anthony joined the Lakers, George Karl still gave Anthony a great negative evaluation in the media.

"Ten years ago, when we emphasized the importance of teamwork and defense, it kept our coaching staff up at night!"

"The Sword Comes"

Coach Karl even said that Anthony will not win the championship with the Lakers: "I don't think Cameron can bring a championship to the Lakers, if we can win it, we were in the Nuggets at the time, the lineup is better than this, and we would have won it a long time ago." ”

These remarks by Coach Carl got into trouble, and he was subjected to a large group of abuse. "In the last 24 hours, at least 100 people have told me to die and go to hell, which is neither friendly nor cool." Carl wrote on social media.

Then some netizens asked: "What did you say?" ”

George Carr replied: "I said Anthony was a ball boss and a terrible defender when he was with the Nuggets. ”

It can be seen that Coach Karl has always been angry about the Nuggets' 2-4 loss to the Lakers in the 2009 Western Conference Finals.

For George Carr's dissatisfaction, Lin Mu can certainly understand.

Because, the Nuggets' lineup is really super strong!

Even Lin Mu felt that such a lineup could only rank second in the west, which was really overkill.

Pepsi Center Arena, when tonight's Nuggets starters are shown on the big screen, you can see why Carl George would say something like that.

Point guard: Chauncey Billups!

Billups' achievements are obvious to all, leading the Pistons Civilian Five Tigers of that year, and snatching the championship trophy that shocked the world from the hands of the overlord Los Angeles Lakers.

OK combination, Gary Payton, Carl Malone!

The Lakers could never have imagined that they would lose at the hands of the Detroit Pistons with such strength.

Whereas!

Chauncey Billups, who was voted the Most Valuable Player of the Finals, is undoubtedly the most important.

Shooting Guard: Dundee Jones!

Dundee Jones was also a member of the Platinum Generation in 2003 and began his career in Memphis.

As a dunker, Jones's deepest impression on fans during his time with the Grizzlies was the one that slammed Yao Ming's head on November 8, 2006, and the rest of the time he was just a rough and sturdy player.

In 2008-09, Dundee Jones moved to the Denver Nuggets, where he played as the team's starting point guard with his strong defense.

In his previous life, he became the Nuggets' most underrated player in the playoffs, not only repeatedly playing a good game of breaking through the crack, but also causing a lot of problems for opponents on the defensive end.

In the series against the Lakers, Kobe Bryant was very uncomfortable with him.

After the season, Jones earned a four-year, $10.6 million contract with the Pacers for his performance with the Nuggets and averaged a career-high 10.2 points per game in 2009-10.

This is an extremely good No. 2 player on the defensive end, and despite his lack of offensive means, the Diggers still have an absolute killer on the bench!

"Nerve Knife" JR Smith!

Excellent defense and extreme offense!

The Nuggets' guard reserves, in Lin Mu's eyes, are the stage where angels and demons coexist!

Small forward: Carmelo Anthony!

Nicknamed "Little Melon", the platinum tanhua, the player who achieved great achievements because of selfishness in George Carr's book, but for George Karl, who has a bad relationship with many coaching players, does Anthony really have such a big shortcoming?

"Anthony is a defensive, selfish, and unwilling to share." So says George Carr.

It's a lot of talk, but it's true.

What these words illustrate shows that Anthony can never be what a leader should be in the position of a leader.

A little check of the data and you will find that when Anthony faced James, Kobe, and Durant, he was very strong, very strong, so that James, Pierce, Kobe and Durant all felt that Anthony was the most difficult player in the league to defend, but such a strong mentality, the whole season, just a few times.

Random shots, stunned from time to time, uncontrollable temper and always smiling and grinning indifferently, made him, the Nuggets, and the Knicks lose too much.

Maybe everyone's pursuit is different, Anthony has earned money, earned a career and a wife, but for the fans and the game of basketball he devotes to, he is far less than his old friends, James, Wade, Paul, etc...

This is what makes his coach, his players and his players sad.

It's much more regrettable that you didn't do what you could do well than that you don't have this ability, and that's how Anthony is.

Of course, although Coach Carl himself is one of the coaches of Qiansheng and a master of offensive tactics, his coaching ability is not as outstanding as that of Zen Master and Don Nelson, especially in terms of communication with players.

Looking at the rebirth of Yang Shaoxia and JR Smith, the Nuggets have a strong body, but they are doing extremely poor things in terms of head coaches and core players.

Despite his many shortcomings, there is no doubt that he is one of the most difficult players in the league to defend!

Power Forward: Kenyon Martin!

Yes, this Kenyon Martin is the Kenyon Martin, born with the Nets, the first NBA champion in 2000!

A real inside thug, he can run and jump, slam dunk a lot, and play with passion and fanaticism and is very ornamental.

He has a good hand at bullying power forwards who are weaker than him, and he usually blows up when he encounters opponents who are tougher than him, but he never flinched.

In the finals against the Spurs, Kenyon Martin was taught by Duncan very badly, but he was still passionate about the court.

Similarly, if the Nuggets can reach the Finals this year as smoothly as they did last year, Pau Gasol will have to ravage Martin.

On this point, Kenyon Martin is one of the players that Lin Mu admires.

If you think about it carefully, being pressed to the ground and rubbing so many times, and still having such a high desire to fight, this is really a real "thug" on the field!

But on second thought, there really aren't a few power forwards in the league who are stronger than Kenyon Martin.

Center: Nene Hilario!

Nene Hilario is a big, strong and fast man who is good at running; Ability to shoot and finish offense, excellent passing; The defense is excellent at blocking and pick-and-roll, and the bounce affects rebounds and blocks.

Nene has never played at All-Star level in his career, but his actual role on the court should not be underestimated.

After suffering from testicular cancer, he was able to continue to fight in the highly competitive NBA, and in the 2013-14 NBA playoffs, the Wizards became the league's biggest dark horse with his help.

After two consecutive seasons of fiasco, the Nuggets team has also changed its appearance, with this starting lineup, both offensive and defensive, with absolute explosive strong points, and big heart players at critical moments.

Lin Mu can't imagine how powerful this Nuggets will be if the personnel in the small forward and big forward positions are replaced by himself and Durant!

In addition, on the bench, the Nuggets also sit on the bench with gangster players such as J.R. Smith, Birdman Anderson, Linas Kreza and Anthony Carter.

One thing to say, the 03 Platinum generation, in terms of high draft picks, no one can have such a good start as Carmelo Anthony.

Maybe Wade's heat can fight with it, but if it weren't for Wade's super-god-level performance and the referee's "help", it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to defeat the Mavericks and win the final championship!

Compared with Chris Bosh and LeBron James, the beginning of "Little Melon" was really happy!

A whistle blew, and in the terrifying tide of plateau fans, the game started!

"Here, the Thunder and the Nuggets have a strong conversation!"

Huaxia Sports TV, Director Zhang and host Yu Jia waited in the studio on time, waiting for the upcoming battle of the western heroes!

"It's unbelievable that the Oklahoma City Thunder, who were at the bottom of the league last season, have turned into a league powerhouse this season."

"The world is impermanent, I really can't imagine it!"

Looking at the slogans put up by the American media before the game, it is hard for you to imagine how much impact Lin Mu's arrival has on the Thunder.

"The Nuggets showed great fighting ability at the beginning of the season, after trading to Billups, second in the West, and being able to stand out in such a brutal environment, they rely on more than just Anthony's personal strength!"

"If the Nuggets in the first two seasons were led by the golden twin guns, then the Nuggets are now all soldiers!"

As soon as Director Zhang's words fell, after Nene helped the team win the first wave of ball possession, the Nuggets played a very wonderful passing and cutting cooperation!

Nene and Billups blocked and dismantled, Lowry's height could not interfere with Billups's vision at all, easy passing, Nene was still in no man's land, and the height of the No. 5 position was not so good 28 cards, and he completed the layup toughly.

"No, after Jordan Jr. and Collison suffered injuries one after another, the Thunder's interior players were really a little stretched."

After Jordan Jr. and Collison were unable to play, the Thunder's lineup also changed slightly.

Starting Lowry, scoring guard Lin Mu, small forward Durant, power forward Jeff Green and center 28 cards.

The overall height is quite outstanding, and in the small-ball era, this is a proper Death Five Little Plus version.

But today is different from the future, and the current rhythm of the game is still dominated by positional battles.

It's okay to bully those weak centers with 28 cards, but it's a little powerless to face a player like None.

Now Nenene, whether it is athletic ability or very strong, compared to the 28 cards that were just selected this year, definitely have the upper hand!

"It's okay, we're still young and we still have a lot of room for improvement."

28 Ka's expression was a little depressed, and Lin Mu knew that he was going to move his mouth.

Ball conversion, Thunder offense!

Faced with some noisy voices at the scene, Lin Mu's expression was a little dissatisfied.

It's not a playoffs, what the hell are you calling there?

Makes me unhappy?

Watch me close the door and let Rand go!

Although Durant is only a sophomore rookie, isn't it easy to eat Anthony alone?

Looking at Anthony is a dry pull-out jumper, after three consecutive days of rest, Durant's physical energy is abundant, and the first offense after the opening, facing the "little melon", the basketball should go into the net!

"YOU, NOT REALLY."

In the face of Durant's ridicule, how can my brother give up in society?

"Boy, don't worry, the show has just begun!"

Thunder Gemini in the sky?

Look at how your uncle cleans you up!
