Chapter 192: Nuggets
The Nuggets' head coach was sitting in his office watching replays from the Lakers and Trail Blazers games.
Gradually...
The head coach of the Nuggets stared at the offense and defense of the Lakers players, and his face became solemn.
"Is this the strength of the Lakers in the past???
"How did you get so powerful, what the hell are these people?"
The corners of the Nuggets' head coach's mouth twitched slightly, and he even thought they were drugged at one point, and even McGee's offense was extremely fluid.
And his footsteps......
Seeing that such a Laker can win the Trail Blazers, the head coach of the Nuggets at this moment also feels that there is no problem with the strength of the Lakers.
"It's really strong!"
"But it's still a bit difficult for you Lakers to beat our Nuggets!"
The head coach of the Nuggets looked at Coach Wharton in the video, and said softly, even with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
After all, the Lakers haven't made the playoffs in a row for several years.
This has often become the laughing stock of other teams, and the Lakers have become a complete garbage team in those years.
That's why many teams don't take an opponent like the Lakers seriously.
But often they pay a heavy price, like the Trailblazers...
has been beaten back to his hometown by the Lakers......
This season is completely out of the way with the Trail Blazers.
The head coach of the Lakers was still watching the Lakers' game, and suddenly found that the Lakers did not rely on James's victory, but the Lakers' outside line.
The strong one is a bit excessive.
"This should be the young Dragon Country player, called Su Bei....."
The head coach of the Nuggets thought to himself, looking at Subei's appearance, his appearance is still a bit high.
But what's the use of just being able to see?
On the basketball court, the quality of the players comes first.
There is no use in being good-looking.......
You can't eat it, and you can't win the game.
In addition to the player from the Dragon Country, the remaining Ball made the Nuggets head coach a little unexpected.
He can see that in the game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, especially the players of this dragon country and Ball, the two of them are too accurate in three points!
"These two boys have to be defended so that the Nuggets can win this game."
The head coach of the Nuggets looked at the Lakers and muttered to himself.
At the moment, he didn't have any way to prevent these two people.
And the core personnel of the Nuggets is Jokic, and at this time, the head coach of the Nuggets suddenly thought of the Lakers' interior line.
If you can't beat their outside line, then go play their inside line.
Once their inside line is broken, the outside line can't be saved anyway.
The head coach of the Nuggets flashed a hint of pride in his eyes, fortunately they still have Jokic on the team, otherwise he wouldn't know what to use to deal with the Lakers.
"No matter how this game is played, our Nuggets will win."
"I'll see if you Lakers can take the initiative in the game?"
The head coach of the Nuggets is watching the Lakers' coach Wharton in the video.
This time.
Jokic walked over and asked curiously:
"Coach, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Come, come..."
The Nuggets head coach turned slightly to see Jokic with a smile on his face.
The more I look at this kid, the more I like it, and this is still his baby.
Jokic has become a non-sale for the Nuggets, and it is to keep this kid here.
Jokic looked at the head coach's smile and wondered even more, what happened to the coach now?
Looking at the head coach's fiery eyes, Jokic flashed a trace of fear in his heart.
"Coach, coach..."
"What's wrong with you?"
Jokic stepped back slightly, keeping his head coach at arm's length.
"Nothing..."
"Jokic, I asked you to come over this time to ask how your injuries are?"
The Nuggets' head coach asked, looking concerned.
In his eyes, Jokic can't afford to have a thing.
"No," Jokic shook his head, "Coach, my injury is fine, and the doctor told me I can play!" ”
"Okay, just wait for that."
The head coach of the Nuggets was overjoyed, with this kid here, the Lakers will be cold sooner or later.
I also have confidence in my heart.
Moreover, they were lucky against the Lakers this time.
But if you are facing a strong team like the Warriors or the Rockets, it is basically cool, and there is no hope.
It's different now.
The Nuggets played the Lakers, and it seemed like God gave the Nuggets a chance to help them reach the Western Conference finals.
The head coach of the Nuggets suddenly flashed with confidence on his face, "There is no way for the Lakers to limit you this time, Jokic." ”
"The first game, we played on the Lakers' home court."
"On the Lakers' home court?"
Jokic was slightly stunned, his face a little heavy.
Every team is willing to play the first game on their home turf because they have a home advantage and a higher chance of winning.
"But like this, the Lakers are more aggressive."
Jokic was a little worried, and he was afraid that his teammates would be a little uncomfortable.
After all, they still have to go to Los Angeles and adjust to the situation there.
It's a lot of trouble for them......
The Nuggets' head coach shook his head, "No, no, no......."
"You play the Lakers, no matter which home court you are in, there is no problem at all, with you, the Lakers' interior line will definitely collapse."
"Jokic, when the time comes, you must give me the momentum of our Nuggets, and let the Lakers know that our Nuggets must win this round of knockouts."
"Definitely lost to me in the first game."
The Nuggets' head coach looked at Jokic with a look of determination in his eyes.
Their lineup here is actually very strong.
Jokic nodded: "I will definitely do my best to win the first game for the Nuggets." ”
"Yes!"
"It's not just the first game, it's going to get the Lakers out."
Again, the Nuggets head coach said: "We have a lot of hope to make it to the Western Conference finals this time, and you have to make the most of this opportunity." ”
"Western Decision?"
Jokic was slightly stunned, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
In the past two years, it has almost been the Rockets and the Warriors, and they have not met in the Western Conference.
"Now it's the Warriors and the Rockets playing against each other, and we're playing against the Lakers, and as long as we can eliminate the Lakers, we're going to get to the Western Conference finals."
"This distance
The overall championship of BA is just a little bit close! ”
The head coach of the Nuggets flashed a flash of excitement on his face, after so many years, they really see hope now, the hope of being able to enter the Western Conference finals.
Jokic's eyes lit up.
"We have to win against the Lakers for we to have a chance."
"Must win the Lakers ......"
Jokic muttered to himself, and his whole body became agitated.
......
Subei and they are also studying the Nuggets here, and James's brows are furrowed.
"We haven't played against the Rockets or the Warriors right now, so the pressure is a little easier, but I see a lineup like the Nuggets, and I feel that the difficulty is a bit difficult!"
Coach Wharton next to him nodded slightly, his eyes kept staring at the Nuggets' information.
"One of the most important points for them is Jokic, and I know this player, and he can pass the ball, and he has mid-to-long-range shooting, so it's really hard to do."
"If we want to win the Nuggets, we must defend well inside."
Coach Wharton looked at the Lakers' interior players, looking at McGee and Zubac.
"If you really have to be beaten by the Nuggets on the inside, then the Lakers will not win this game!"
McGee and Zubac, Ingram nodded, knowing the importance of the matter.
Jokic is now the league's No. 1 center.
Coach Wharton took another look at the Nuggets' perimeter players, their point guard Murray.
In terms of physical fitness, it can only be regarded as a medium level, or in this position in the back line.
In fact, this is not much worse than Su Bei, because Su Bei's physical static talent is not very high.
But the report says his biggest killer move is accurate outside shooting.
And his endless fighting spirit, which makes many outside players feel terrible.
Coupled with the fact that he has multiple moves to finish games, this also makes the defenders feel that his offense is unpredictable.
But most importantly, he has a strong right hand, and the downside is that his athleticism is not particularly good.
And his defense is not very good, Coach Wharton feels that Subei can definitely break him up on the back line.
On the entire back line, as long as there is Subei, Coach Wharton has nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Coach Wharton has already treated Subei as the core of the whole team.
It's just that his treatment is slightly worse than James, after all, James is the signature of the league.
Even if he is old, as long as he is there, the first person in the alliance will still belong to him.
"The first game will be on our home turf and I want everyone to work together to win the first game. Let's get off to a good start!! ”
Coach Wharton looked at the crowd with anticipation in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Coach!"
"The Nuggets don't have any problems with us!"
Rondo swears:
"The Nuggets are nothing more than a little stronger inside, if Su Bei and Ball feel hot at the same time, they can take them away directly with three points!"
"We can directly break them down with the outside, so that they don't even have the strength to fight back......"
Everyone nodded, the most important thing is, will Su Bei and Bauer feel hot at that time?
Even the northern Jiangsu themselves are not clear, this uncertainty factor is too great.
"It's better to train now, there are only two days left, and you guys will run in again."
Coach Wharton reminded again.
......
Two days later.
The game between the Lakers and the Nuggets has officially begun.
