Coach Lee

Chapter 611 A Great Team (25)

Soon, the Nuggets' preseason began.

6 games, three opponents, Warriors, Mavericks, Suns.

The Nuggets first played two games with the Warriors.

The Nuggets didn't make much effort, and the Warriors were already defeated.

In the first three quarters, the Nuggets scored a terrifying score of 100-60.The fourth quarter directly became garbage time.

Now the league has added new rules, but it doesn't seem to have a big impact on the Nuggets' offense.However, the Nuggets' defense has greatly improved.

Since the old Jim joined the Nuggets, the Nuggets have been a fake defense system.Now that the joint defense is legalized, the Nuggets can be described as a duck to water.

The Warriors in the West are not the Nuggets' enemy at all.

The Warriors' roster isn't bad at all.

Davor Cuse, Antawn Jamison, Jason Richardson, Eric Dampier, Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Bob Sura, Earl Boykin S, Frank King.

The original Croatian supernova Davor Kus is already a seasoned "veteran" at this time.Among the league's point guards, he is considered an upper-middle class.

Antawn Jamison, a great spot-up shooter;
Richardson is a spring-loaded wing attacker;
Dampier is a powerful center with strong rebounding and blocking ability.
Troy Murphy is a big pitcher similar to Dirk Nowitzki;
Mike Dunleavy is this year's No. [-] pick;

Bob Sura is suitable for scrambling;
Earl Boykins has lightning speed and super flexibility, and he has a big heart at critical moments.
Frank King, a former member of the 76ers championship, is now a pitcher on the Warriors' bench. He is the kind of convulsive player who can suddenly explode and score 30 points at the right time.Of course, he's just a role player most of the time, just shooting a three-pointer.

Every player of the Warriors has some strength and is considered a little famous, but the combination did not produce any good chemical reaction.

The Warriors are bad every year, and they are fighting for the top spot every year, but they are still mired in the quagmire every year.

This is a problem.

Sitting on the sidelines, Li Nan also discussed this issue with D'Antoni.

D'Antoni rubbed his chin and expressed his opinion: "This is a problem with the coach and a problem with the team system. The Warriors don't have a fixed system at all. The coaches are changed one by one, and the players are updated in batches. , They haven’t settled down at all, and haven’t accumulated anything from last year. If this continues, even if they really find a treasure in the draft, their prospects will not be very good.”

"Coach, if you coach them, do you think they can make the playoffs?"

"Of course. Just give me a team and I'm sure I can get them into the playoffs they've always dreamed of."

D'Antoni speaks with real confidence.In fact, his mind is full of running, running, and running. He always thinks that he is right, and he also believes that he will succeed one day.

"Coach, I believe you can."

Li Nan also gave D'Antoni a thumbs up.

D'Antoni felt that Li Nan's words were comforting, but it was better to have some comfort than nothing, so he still smiled and said, "Thank you."

.

On the court, the game against the Warriors is finally over.

In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets stopped playing, but the Warriors themselves were not up to date.

The final score was terrible, 120-70, and the Warriors lost 50 points at home.

After the game, Frank King's performance was very flat, maybe because he is used to losing.

"Lee, let's go, let me take you to Hard Rock here at night, let me tell you, the girl there"

In the two games against the Warriors, the Nuggets won very easily.

Next, the Nuggets also played two games with the Suns.

The Suns lack Kidd, the commander, and use Marbury as a point guard, so the taste is a little different.The Suns team that played back and forth with the Nuggets last year is gone forever.

After only halftime, the Nuggets led by 20 points.

Li Nan also sat off the court in the second half, pointing at the Suns players with D'Antoni.

The Suns players on the field at this time are Stephen Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway, Joe Johnson, Sean Marion, and Amare Stoudemire.

"Coach, if you take Steve to the Suns, think about it, what will this team be like?"

After thinking about it carefully, D'Antoni suddenly smiled, "A great team! It's just that there seems to be something missing."

What is missing?Li Nan didn't know.

I only heard D'Antoni quickly added, "It would be great if Wang is willing to come with me."

Is Wang Dazhi going to the sun?It seems pretty good, but Wang Dazhi is unwilling?
"That's up to you."

D'Antoni also asked Li Nan to help as a lobbyist. Hearing this, D'Antoni felt a little helpless.

"That's fine."

.

The two games against the Suns are over, and the Nuggets have won all of them again.

In the last two games against the Mavericks, the Nuggets lost one and won the other.

After the game lost to the Mavericks, D'Antoni excitedly held Nash and talked for a long time. No one knew what they said, only that D'Antoni was very excited.

In 6 preseason games, the Nuggets achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, which is considered very good.

Everyone on the Nuggets adapted quickly to the new rules.

Of course, defending the three seconds really annoys Ben Wallace.

He just likes the inside, and he likes the feeling of the inside touching the flesh.How many defensive opportunities did he miss due to the bad rules now?

It's not just Ben Wallace, many inside players hate the three-second defense.

However, outside players are very fond of this rule.

As long as they look for the right opportunity, they can take advantage of the opponent's big man to get out of the circle in three seconds and go to the basket, and an easy layup will be achieved.It doesn't get any easier to break through.

Reid and Arenas feel a little bit at home. They don't score a few goals in each game, and they really feel uncomfortable.

And that's the case across the league right now.

The little one ushered in the spring, and the big ones were frowning.

In general, the impact of rule changes is more on offense.

For all 29 teams, the total points per game increased!From about 95 points to 101 points.Although it is only a preseason game, it can be seen that this change is really not small!
Of course, the rules have a great impact on several defensive teams.

76ers!Pacers!Spurs!

With the emergence of the zone defense system, opponents have to go through the test of shooting.

In the summer, everyone already knew that the US defense team was really deadly.It is really fatal to young American players now, their basic shooting skills are really not good.

What everyone pursues more is the gorgeous and extraordinary, and what they pursue is the explosive dunk.

Now, many media are also praising Stern's move. This is for the sake of young people and the future of American basketball.

During the interview, David Stern was also flushed.
