Coach Lee

Chapter 468 Dynamic Offensive Theory
Many people are not optimistic about the Nuggets, but the Nuggets made an unexpected start.

After winning the Pacers in the opening game, the Nuggets won three consecutive games.

100-87, the Nuggets beat the Miami-Heat by 13 points away.

Veteran Ewing broke out and scored the second highest score after Li Nan on the bench, 26 points!It was also because of Ewing's outburst that the Nuggets scored off the bench and overwhelmed their opponents, which helped the Nuggets pass the test smoothly.

89-97, the Nuggets captured the visiting Blazers with 8 points in their first home game.

Wang Dazhi broke out and scored the first triple-double of the season to help the team beat the opponent.

78-82, the Nuggets beat the Utah Jazz with 4 points at home.

Ben Wallace sent 7 blocks to keep the Nuggets at the basket and help the team win.

The opening four consecutive victories, all four games are strong opponents, and the Nuggets performed well in four games, and everyone stood up in every game.Some people who were questioned before were also slapped in the face again and again.

ESPN has adjusted the team battle list,

The Denver Nuggets are No.1!
The Nuggets fans have become agitated, they have seen the championship trophy beckoning to them.

The Nuggets' next home game has been sold out, and there are even many Denver people who are ready to stick to the home team for a season.

However, in the fifth game, the Nuggets had a big upset, no, they were blown!
At the Pepsi Center Arena, home of the Denver Nuggets, 90-85, the Nuggets lost by 5 points to the Vancouver Grizzlies, who had just joined the NBA for the sixth year but had been full for six years.

Nuggets fans can't accept it.

"Isn't this too good? How many years have we not lost to the Grizzlies?"

"Didn't you say that China Li is very good? Why did you lose it today? 24 points? It's really too little!"

"Fortunately, I held back and didn't buy a ticket for the next show."

"Hey, I bought a ticket for the next home game against the Sonics. Is it going to be bad? No, I have to refund the ticket!"

This is what Denver fans are, a little cynical and a little bit of a follower.Of course, everyone likes to watch the games of strong players, and everyone hopes that their team will never lose.However, such a team does not exist!

Of course, there are also many rational and loyal Nuggets fans.

"It's just one loss, our players need time, we have to be patient."

Then, game six came.

85-89, the Nuggets lost to the Timberwolves away.

In Game 89, the Nuggets returned home, losing 84-[-] to the Seattle SuperSonics.

In the eighth game, 90-99, the Nuggets lost to the Suns away.

4-4
The Nuggets fell from No.1 in the Western Conference at the beginning to the current No. 9 in the Western Conference!
ESPN also quickly adjusted the team's strength list, and the Nuggets slipped from No. 11 to No. [-] in the league.

This No.11 is still for Li Nan's sake.If the Nuggets continue to lose in the future, this ranking will be difficult to find.

Why did the Nuggets lose?Why won four strong teams, but lost to four underdogs?
If you meet the strong, you will be strong!Meet the weak and get weaker!
What's the point of this?
Soon, Washington Post reporter Michael Wilbur analyzed:

"Because of defense!"

The defense of the strong team takes care of both Li Nan and Hamilton.Weak teams can't defend well, they can't keep so many guards, so they simply give up on Hamilton and focus on Li Nan.

The young Hamilton became the breakthrough.In many cases, the opponent only cares about Li Nan and shorts Hamilton.His two-pointers were not as accurate as in the first game, and he returned to normal. His three-pointers were really bad, with a shooting percentage of around 30.He doesn't have Li Nan's power at all.

Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune said: "Lee's not in good shape."

"Li played in the finals of last season and the Olympics. He rested until ten days before the start of the season before returning. He was too tired."

Lacey Banks of The Sun thinks:
"I have said a long time ago that the Nuggets are unstable, every player in their team is unstable, and even their coach is unreliable."

Kent McDill of the Herald believes: "This is a problem with the Nuggets' tactical use! They have many excellent players, but their running-in time is too short. In these few games, the Nuggets have They changed a few lineups and they didn't seem to find the right one."

The coaching team of the Nuggets also had a meeting, and finally everyone agreed.

"The team loses because they instill too much in their players."

There are indeed several good lineups in the team, but such training with unclear goals makes the players unacceptable.

Li Nan is someone who has experienced all those things.

The other Nuggets players are not Li Nan, and this is not the 76ers or Pacers.

Even Ben Wallace, the 76ers, was a little confused.

If you want to build a team, don't rush!
Take your time, go faster!
The Nuggets have indeed slowed down.

The first thing they did was fix their starting lineup.

Billups, Li Nan, Hamilton, Wang Dazhi, Ben Wallace

After that, the Nuggets began to win intermittently.

Of course, they also lost intermittently.

And where the players didn't know, the coaching team began to have more discussions about this lineup.

Completely copying the Pacers' style of play is not the best way out.

The Nuggets need to find a set of tactics that really suits the team!
The Nuggets management recruited the famous Nuggets, the 80-year scoring machine combination: Alex English and Kiki Vandeweghe.

In the 80s, the Nuggets' offensive basketball once led the trend of the NBA.

Coach Doug Moe adopts a dynamic offensive theory to coach the team.

This is a very oppressive style of play.Requiring players to keep running the ball until someone finds an open attack has made Denver a very competitive team.

Throughout the 80s, Denver often scored more than 115 points, and in the 1981-82 season, it was even more incredible to score more than 100 points in every game!
On December 1983, 12, Denver and the visiting Detroit Pistons jointly created the highest single-game record of 13 points in NBA history.

attack!This is something that the Nuggets have engraved in their bones!No attack is absolutely impossible!
In the offices of the Pepsi Center arena, Jim Burnheim and D'Antoni, along with Alex English and Kiki Vandeweghe, sat together to discuss team matters.

In the meeting, D'Antoni was the first to stand up.

"I think we can try running and bombing. For running and bombing, Lee is really a good fit"

After talking for a long time, D'Antoni also showed everyone the video, which was Nash's game video during the 76ers period.

In the end, D'Antoni also put forward his opinion to the team, "It would be the best if we can get Steve from the Mavericks. He is really suitable for running and bombing."

Alex English immediately objected, "No, no! Offense is necessary, but without defense it is absolutely impossible!"

Kiki van der Weghe suggested: "Dynamic offensive theory! We can refer to this! This is what we are most familiar with."

"I'm against it! That's the same way Larry Brown plays."

Neither does this, nor does that.
This is a meeting.

Everyone has their own opinions, and it is not easy to convince others.

However, when everyone couldn't convince each other, Jim Burnham, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"You all make a lot of sense, but have you ever thought about how to soften the things on both sides of you?"

"Soft together?" Several people looked at each other thoughtfully.
