In the second half, Presti adjusted his tactics. A team like the Nuggets who are all soldiers but without superstars is actually not terrible in the playoffs. The upper limit is already reached in the second round!During the halftime break, Presti arranged a defensive tactic. The center went up and pinched the ball holder, forcing them to make mistakes. If the team's center was not Davis, or the King's insider Faried or Koufus had a mid-range shot, then this tactic is courting death!

However, center Davis moves fast enough to recover quickly, and Koufos has no shooting range. As long as he plays the pick-and-roll, he can score along this path, and although Lawson's ability to shoot the ball is good, it can't reach the top level. Under this kind of intensity, it is easy to make mistakes!
Soon the second half began. As soon as it came up, after Lawson held the ball, Curry and Davis immediately stepped forward and pinched Lawson. It was really covered. Lawson passed the ball to Gallinari.Thompson catches the ball and hits a three-pointer!Green's ability to play the ball, fast break ability and defensive sense are fully reflected in this round!
For the Nuggets, Lawson leads the frontcourt, walks to the left, continues to pinch, and immediately passes the ball to Iguodala!Iguodala walked in with the ball and also flanked!Divide again!Crack, Paul George pops out and steals again!Counterattack and rush to the front court, chasing three points!Hit again!

The Nuggets can only pause. In fact, the Nuggets don’t even call this tactic a pause. Lawson, Koufos, and Faried’s abilities lie here. You can’t expect him to be able to accurately find his teammates under high-intensity flanking in such a short period of time. What’s more, Koufos and Faried have no projection threats at all!

After returning from the timeout, Gallinari caught the ball from the outside and threw a three-pointer without hesitation, hitting it!Now the Nuggets can only hope for the personal abilities of Iguodala, Gallinari and Lawson!For the Hornets, Paul George moved across the defense and picked the basket to score!

Iguodala broke through, the Hornets decisively shrunk the inside line and missed the attack, Green got the rebound and counterattacked, Davis followed up the middle and sprinted for a dunk!The Hornets scored consecutively at the start of the second half!

The Nuggets are still Lawson, Koufos came to cover, blocked Davis, went to the right, Koufos went down, and the ball was strong!But at this time, Green quickly came to help defend, slapped him, and slapped him away again!Curry got the rebound, accelerated, and went to the frontcourt to chase a three-pointer!Have!
Faried took the ball in the low post and made a strong attack, which caused Green to foul of course and made two free throws, but Koufos grabbed the rebound and made it up!Finally stopped the bleeding! , Paul George also made a mid-range shot after receiving a pass from Curry! , Gallinari made a three-pointer at the top of the arc!There are too!In the third quarter, the Nuggets fell into a solo fight and could only rely on dry shooting!

The ball couldn't move at all. After Lawson was pinched out of the ball, he was immediately intercepted!Paul George counterattacked and scored a layup. At the critical moment, Gallinari stepped forward again and made a super long three-pointer with an arrow. Iguodala also made a counterattack against Thompson!
Then Green held the ball at the top of the arc, Davis covered, and Curry ran to the bottom corner to catch the ball and shoot!Still have!Iguodala took the ball on the left, and did not wait for the pincer to attack again!Missed against Davis, but Lykufus got a rebound and easily made up 2 points,
Koufos is 2 meters tall. When Davis can't take off, it is true that Green's protection against rebounds will be weaker, but once Green gets the rebound, he can quickly push back and counterattack. The Nuggets can't catch up at all!

Lawson still controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and Iguodala went to the bottom line to cut in. Lawson quickly passed the ball, but Thompson didn't interfere. Iguodala took the ball and made a layup.
At the back end, the Nuggets took Chandler up, while Presti replaced all the starters and replaced them with a substitute. The tactics remained the same. Although Whiteside's movement speed was not as fast as Davis, he was still a top player in the same position. Li responded with a relentless three-pointer. At the end of the third quarter, the Hornets led the Nuggets 74-69!

In the last quarter, McGee took the lead in scoring with a back hook!Seeing McGee playing, Presti decisively changed his offensive tactics to pick-and-rolls at positions 3 and 5. Presti knew McGee too well. Although McGee's autonomous offensive ability around the basket and shot-blocking ability were good, but his pick-and-roll defense was surprisingly poor, and his sense of defensive position was also very poor. McGee on the Nuggets was tantamount to suicide!

In the middle, Jimmy Butler and Whiteside made a pick-and-roll, and they passed the pick-and-roll directly. McGee was at a loss and rushed to the basket and made a layup!The Nuggets Chandler caught the ball on the right and faced Ray Allen, and directly chose to miss the shot.

Whiteside got the rebound and gave it to Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler took the frontcourt and gave it to David West. David West took the ball and turned around and made a throw!After Gallinari missed a three-pointer, Jimmy Butler went to the frontcourt and continued to play pick-and-roll with Whiteside. The same style of play, he went in again and made a layup!The Nuggets are immediately suspended!
After returning from the timeout, the Nuggets took off McGee and put on all the starters!Lawson took the ball to the frontcourt and took a step to respond with a jumper!For the Hornets, Jimmy Butler made a second pass to Robinson for a layup, and David West also made a mid-range shot!The Hornets' offensive could no longer be resisted, and the Nuggets had no choice but to pause again!
After returning from the timeout, Iguodala took the ball and made a layup again, and Paul George also made a layup with a cross-step breakthrough and pull-bar. Lawson missed a throw, and Thompson made an open three-pointer steadily!The point difference is expanding a little bit!

Faried deflected Green's defensive throw and made a throw. At this time, Curry once again used the screen to shoot a three-pointer, and Green was emptied at the top of the arc, and continued to fire, and the open three-pointer was hit steadily!

Iguodala counterattacked and hit a layup throw. Green was still emptied, continued his fiery touch, and made a strong three-pointer!Then it was Green, who scored a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the Nuggets were directly fooled!They didn't expect that at the last moment, Green, who had the worst three-point shooting percentage, killed them with a three-pointer!
Although the Nuggets still did not give up at the last moment, they tried their best to catch up with the score, but the point difference really couldn't catch up. In the end, the Hornets defeated the Nuggets 110-101, and the series came to 1:0!

When the game ended, the major media commented: "The strength difference between the Hornets and the Nuggets is too great. The Nuggets have changed their style of play under the defense of the Hornets, and their shooting percentage is much higher than before. This is not normal in itself, but even so, they still lose. The Nuggets will still be forced to play like this in the next game. Will the shooting percentage be so high? It is obviously difficult, so there is no way to stop the Hornets' attack!"

After the game, several core players were interviewed. Of course, the one who received the most attention was Green. In this game, Green actually hit 4 three-pointers!When asked how to make those shots, Green said with a smile: "I spend a lot of time practicing three-pointers every day, but even so, I will still be missed by my opponent. The coach told me that if I am missed by my opponent, then I will shoot decisively with confidence!"

In the second game, the two teams were fairly evenly matched in the first quarter. Under the leadership of Curry, the Hornets relied on a wave of 8-0 offensive to gain the upper hand, but today's Nuggets continued to feel good.
The point difference in the second quarter is still deadlocked, but the Hornets suddenly misfired in the last 3 minutes and only scored 2 points, resulting in a passive situation!Gallinari scored 5 points in a row at the end to help the Nuggets take a 6-point lead into the second half.

After adjustments in the third quarter, the Hornets suddenly broke out. Paul George and Davis scored 12 points to lead the Hornets to a wave of 18-2 to complete the reversal.In the final quarter, the Nuggets grabbed points several times to catch up with the score, but the Hornets' Paul George and Curry can always respond!

At the end of the fourth quarter, Gallinari and Iguoda scored all three rounds, and there was another 3+1 to chase points for the Nuggets, but Paul George and Curry also scored 3 goals in a row to keep the Hornets ahead. With Thompson and Davis adding 4 points, the Hornets widened the point difference to 8 points to secure the victory.In the end, the Hornets defeated the Nuggets again 119-111!

In the third game, Presti asked the players to defend with all their strength from the first quarter, and did not give the Nuggets a chance to develop their touch. However, the Nuggets' shooting percentage plummeted under this intensity of defense!

After a brief see-saw between the two sides in the game, the Hornets exerted their strength. Under the high-intensity ball-handling tactics, the Nuggets made frequent mistakes, and the Hornets decisively seized the opportunity to widen the point difference to double digits!

In the second quarter, the Nuggets suddenly broke out and played a 11-0 spurt to narrow the point difference back to single digits, but Presti adjusted in time to retaliate 10-0 to stabilize the situation!In the second half, Presti asked to run and bomb to increase the offensive rhythm. At the same time, the positional battle still pinched the ball holder. The Hornets continued to expand their lead, and the point difference on the field once reached [-] points!The Nuggets failed to get another chance in the final quarter, and the Hornets finally beat the Nuggets at home!

In the fourth game, the victory came easier than in the previous game. This time, Curry and Thompson felt very hot. They scored 3 three-pointers in a row, and the point difference opened up to double digits.

At the end of the first half, the point difference had reached 20 points!In the second half, Presti still played fast at first, and the point difference in half a quarter came to 30 points. Presti decisively switched to a rotation lineup, and the Nuggets tried their best to catch up with the score, but the point difference was too large. In the end, the Hornets beat the Nuggets 121:106!

The Hornets easily swept the Nuggets in the second round. The first weakness of the Nuggets is that they do not have a real superstar.Against the Hornets, if you can't defend well against pick-and-rolls, you will end up dead. The Hornets' strongest style of play is to constantly rely on screens to create dislocations, and the Hornets' Curry, Thompson, and Paul George's projections are all first in the league!
After these few games of Green, people's evaluation of him is getting higher and higher. He has a tough defense, does dirty work, can organize and still have three points!It is one of the Hornets' defensive cores!

Davis has a higher evaluation. Just like in the previous life, people are very partial to players like Davis, and many media have rated Davis as the number one center forward in the future!Of course, some media think that Davis is better at power forward!
On the other hand, the game between the Thunder and the Spurs is also over. The Thunder finally defeated the Spurs 4:1. No one expected this. In the previous life, the Thunder was eliminated in the semifinals due to Westbrook's injury.
After all the semifinals were over, the NBA regular season awards were announced.

The best rookie was won by Damian Lillard as in his previous life, averaging 19.7 points, 4 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game.

After Lillard was selected, he was immediately confirmed for core training. Lillard continued to use screens to create good shot space, and Lillard's own projection is also very good!Make Lillard's data very beautiful!

进步最快球员则是黄蜂的汤普森，上个赛季汤普森场均只有15.1分3.2篮板2.1助攻命中率43.5％三分命中率40.1％，而这个赛季场均可以拿下21.8分4.8篮板2.8助攻，命中率高达46.5％，三分命中率42.3％。

The best sixth man is JR Smith of the Knicks, averaging 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The Hornets' David West ranked second with 352 points. In fact, the Hornets have too many three-quarter checks this season, otherwise this award must belong to David West!
The best defender is Thunder Ibaka, whose coverage area radiates the entire penalty area!And Ibaka won the block leader this season!
The final MVP award was won by Curry. This season, Curry averaged 34 minutes per game, scored 26 points, 5.1 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.6 steals, shooting 47.8% from the field, 42.6% from the three-point range, and 87.5% from the free throw!

No. 2 is Paul George, averaging 35 minutes per game, scoring 24 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals, shooting 45.8% from the field, 41.6% from the three-point range, and 86.7% from the free throw line!

Ranked third is James!Originally, the data of Curry and Paul George could not get this general, but there is no way that the record of the first regular season in history is too much!

Defensive lineup: Chris Paul, Paul George, LeBron James, Ibaka, Tyson Chandler.

Second Team: Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Marc Gasol, Tim Duncan, Joakim Noah.

When this list came out, many people wondered why Howard was not on the list. After all, Howard can still average 2.4 blocks per game, and most people think that the reason why he was not selected is because the Lakers' record is too poor and the average loss per game is too high.

But it is the best lineup: Curry, Kobe, Durant, Paul George, James.

This season, Paul George's performance has been greatly improved compared with the previous ones. Both offensive and defensive ends are extremely good. Coupled with the Hornets' historical record, he was selected as the best team!
Second team: Paul, Westbrook, Anthony, Griffin, Duncan.

Third Team: Wade, Parker, Harden, Chris Bosh, Howard.
