Chapter 503
Fortunately, after the game, the Nuggets and the Warriors were confirmed that Jeremy Lin and Curry were both injured, so there would be no problem soon, and the West would still be wonderful in the cruelty.
After returning to home court, Jeremy Lin passed the team doctor's examination and could still play in the next game.
However, the Nuggets are back to back. If the situation allows, George Carl will still let him rest.
Although there is Jodjic's point, the number one position is still needed. They only have two authentic number one positions this season, so there can be no problem.
The back-to-back opponent is the Trail Blazers again, but even when he returns to home, he is still tired, but he feels much better.
Psychological effects are sometimes very helpful to athletes. Lillard has not made a comeback yet, and the current Trail Blazers are considered a good opponent.
I have only played the game before, so I should pay attention to what players the opponent is, and I also know about the Nuggets.
At the beginning of the game, the pace of both sides was much slower than when they were on the court, because both teams wanted to reduce the efficiency of the opponent through some defense, so there was no situation of attack.
The Trail Blazers are still Mikelum's main attacker, but they are targeted by the Nuggets and their efficiency is not very high.
Gallinari and Xiang Chu are mainly attacking on the Nuggets, and their efficiency must be better than the opponent. Even if the back-to-back physical condition is not the best, strength on the court is strength, and often it is not the turn to compete for physical strength.
When Garlinari was away, the Nuggets completely suppressed the inside. With Garlinari stronger on the outside, they basically suppressed them in all aspects.
What the Nuggets are now weak is the movement speed of No. 1 and Jodjic.
The team took the lead steadily, but there was still some minor situation at the time of rotation. Hackles still performed well, but the Nuggets had noticed it and did not cause any storm.
But the Trail Blazers exploded again. Their substitute guard Gerald Henderson performed no worse than Mikelum, and the Trail Blazers also took the opportunity to catch up with the score.
Henderson is also one of the players the Trail Blazers exchanged for Batum in the summer. This guy has good data in the Hornets, but the data of weak teams has no human rights. He has not been reused in the Trail Blazers. It may be the reason why Mikelum performs too well and has no chance.
His performance in the previous game was also mediocre, but this game suddenly broke out.
There are also frequent accidents in basketball games, especially in leagues like NBA where there are masters everywhere.
You should know that some small characters in the league go to the international basketball court and it is normal for someone to break out occasionally.
So even though the Nuggets were ready before, an accident still happened.
All they have to do is adjust their defense, while maintaining their offense, and relying on their strength to suppress all accidents.
George Carl considered it but still did not go to Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin is just a guarantee on the roster, and George Carl still wants to set a new record in the team history.
However, if you can do it, try not to use it. Xiang Chu also communicated with George Carl before the game. You cannot have a greater impact on the outcome of a game. It would be bad if Jeremy Lin was injured and missed many games.
So it's just that the Trail Blazers catch up with the scores, the Nuggets won't take risks unless they see the hope of winning in the second half and need to do something at the No. 1 position to go on the court.
It would be great if Gary Harris, who is playing as a substitute, was a little more stable. The young man's performance was unstable after entering the rotation lineup. This shows that he can only do 3D for the time being, and core players need to attract the opponent's defensive attention to the opponent to perform well.
However, the Nuggets are still strong in their hard power. After the main players came on the court, Xiang Chu, Gallinari and Middleton made a wave, and the Nuggets took the initiative again.
At this time, the Trail Blazers' main attacker Mike Rumter reflected his value. He scored consecutively in singles, but did not let the Trail Blazers widen the score.
So unlike the first quarter, both sides entered a scoring battle in the second quarter.
At the last moment of the first half, Mikelum scored 4 points in a row, allowing the two teams to end the first half with a draw.
McConaughey was still at a disadvantage when facing McConaughey. Her experience was only part of the matter. The key was that McConaughey was not tall enough. McConaughey tried to get rid of him several times, but McConaughey had no choice.
During the halftime break, Xiang Chu also encouraged the young teammate, "You have a good defensive awareness and a strong sense of ruthlessness, but you still need some method."
"I don't know if you found out that the opponent is not strong enough, and the offense and defense are mainly shooting, so you have to seize any time without the ball to fight and increase his fatigue. I know you can do it."
In fact, McConaughey is shorter, but his muscles are still well trained. Mikelum is a very thin type. This kind of player is difficult to deal with after holding the ball and is prone to fouls, but it is different when he is out of the ball.
There is no direct effect in the confrontation without the ball, but it is really useful for the pitcher. As long as the opponent's fatigue increases, the shooting percentage will definitely decrease.
Xiang Chu said all very practical methods, and he would not be stingy with any teammate.
McConnor is very good at accepting opinions, and he is also a more competitive defender. If it weren't for the special situation of the Nuggets, he wouldn't have got so many opportunities. You should know that the Nuggets chose not as much as his previous chance.
If you have the chance, you have to seize it. In the third quarter, McConaughey also took the initiative and stuck it to Mikelum like a cowhide plaster. If you find the chance, you will fight.
Mikelum was also a little depressed because his level was completely different from McConaughey.
Even if McConnor has physical problems or fouls too much, the Nuggets will change their individuals. If McConnor has problems, the Trail Blazers will not play in this game.
Mikelum was afraid and his efficiency plummeted. Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotes was also very anxious. He made various substitutions in less than half a quarter, trying to open up the situation.
The effect is still there. Henderson is better at disrupting battles, but they beat all their cards at once. If something happens, the Trail Blazers will not be able to deal with it.
The Nuggets are not panicked anyway, and relying on the two strong points of Gallinari and Xiang Chu to continuously expand their lead.
McConaughey let Josh Richardson go when he was tired. Although Richardson was not the No. 1 position, he had no problem with defense. Jeremy Lin didn't need to play in the current situation.
In terms of offense, Middleton, Garlinari and Xiang Chu are enough, and the Trail Blazers can't fight at all now.
But the Trail Blazers were really tenacious. In the final quarter, Allen Crab stood up again.
But they can only shoot from the outside. The Nuggets' defense is very clear, just not allowing the opponent to shoot three-pointers, and they can make two points with the defensive players. Who is the Nuggets afraid of if they are two points?
