Chapter 180 Christmas Battle (3)

Chapter 180 Christmas Battle (3)

"It seems that this game is more difficult than expected."

After Yan Hua easily singled NN-Hilario to score, the Nuggets coach Brian Shaw, who was standing on the sidelines, shook his head solemnly, and then instructed the assistants standing beside him to prepare for the next defense. It was time to implement the second plan for Yan Hua. Although Yan Hua's offensive deterrence was very clear, at the beginning of the game, Brian Shaw still had a fluke mentality and was going to take a look at NN-Hilary The effect of defending against Yan Hua alone, if NN-Hilario can create enough troubles for Yan Hua on the defensive end, so that Yan Hua can complete the attack in the most difficult and energy-consuming way, then Brian Shaw will not arrange the opponent Yan Hua's double-teaming, but judging from the defense just now, if the Nuggets didn't double-team Yan Hua, it is absolutely possible for Yan Hua to play a tragedy in the paint.

After the Nuggets were given black seven by the Kings in the playoffs last season, George Karl, as the head coach, submitted his resignation to the management without waiting for the management to attack him first. But George Karl still left the Nuggets very decisively. After the old coach George Karl resigned, the Nuggets finally chose Phil Jackson's assistant coach Brian Shaw after several selections, and planned to change the Nuggets routine. The "unique style" of a one-stop game and a worm in the playoffs.

Unlike Phil Jackson's previous assistant coaches who were very superstitious about the triangle tactics, Brian Shaw did not apply the original tactics of the Lakers to the Nuggets after he took office, because The ability is very self-aware. He is very clear that his understanding and application of the triangle offense is far less thorough than that of Phil Jackson's team. Moreover, the current Nuggets do not need to be completely pushed to rebuild, just need minor repairs. Changing is enough.

Therefore, compared with the Nuggets under George Karl, the Nuggets coached by Brian Shaw have not changed much in terms of offensive tactics except for a slower pace and more running cuts, let alone Those media hyped triangle offenses come to Denver.

After Yan Hua blew the horn of the game with a dunk, although the Nuggets at home wanted to respond to Yan Hua on the offensive end, they didn't go inside to make a fuss because the King's two Inside, one averaged 3 blocks per game, and the other averaged 2.1 blocks per game, which is really scary. In addition, the advantage of the Nuggets is the outside line, so after the offensive and defensive transition, the Nuggets on the field. The basketball is constantly passed on the outside, ready to tear the King's outside defense through passing and running.

After some running and cutting, when Carmelo Anthony misplaced and faced Kevin Martin, the basketball that had already fallen several hands was passed to Carmelo Anthony in a very short period of time.

Although Brian Shaw did not fully transplant the triangle tactics to the Nuggets, the concept of allowing the players with the strongest singles ability to get better singles opportunities in the triangle offense was brought to the Nuggets by Brian Shaw. Through non-stop passing and cutting, Carmelo Anthony has an excellent offensive opportunity for misplaced singles. This is Brian Shaw's coaching philosophy in the Nuggets. To put it bluntly, Brian Shaw is a nanny coach. Carmelo Anthony is playing comfortably and playing well, which is his purpose and what he believes is the basis for the Nuggets to win.

Whether it is single-defense ability or assist defense ability, Kevin Martin is not up to the average level of the NBA, but Kevin Martin's defensive awareness is still very good. No matter who the opponent is, Kevin Martin is very good at the defensive end. He ran very hard and followed him closely, but his body was too poor and his weakness against losses made all Kevin Martin's efforts on the defensive end ultimately futile.

When defending Carmelo Anthony in this dislocation, Kevin Martin, who has been with Anthony, was almost squeezed by Carmelo Anthony the moment Carmelo Anthony received the ball. Relying on his sharp reflexes, he adjusted his body posture in time to avoid the embarrassment of being squeezed to the ground by Carmelo Anthony, but Kevin Martin still inevitably lost his position, and Cameron -Anthony took advantage of the moment when Kevin Martin was out of position and hit a mid-range jumper.

"I said, the final winner of this game will definitely be me!" After the jumper was hit, Carmelo Anthony's right hand after the shot was raised high, and then he clenched into a fist and moved towards the opponent not far away. Staring at his own Yan Hua, he waved it fiercely, which was not only a response to Yan Hua, but also a demonstration against Yan Hua.

"Beautiful mid-range shot! Cameron responded to the King's attack just now with a textbook mid-range shot on the offensive end." After Carmelo Anthony hit a jumper, Alec on the sidelines commentary Si-English also waved his arms fiercely, looking more excited than the audience behind him.

Kenny Smith, who was sitting next to Alex English, didn't have any special expression at the moment, but looked at Yan Hua who was serving the bottom line with a smile on his face, as if waiting for Yan Hua to respond. Carmelo Anthony's counterattack, Kenny Smith is very much looking forward to Yan Hua's reaction in the next attack, looking forward to whether this little guy who has high hopes from Hakeem Olajuwon will make a match Olajuwon made the same choice back then.

In the years when Kenny Smith played for the Rockets, basically as long as he met a team with superstars or superstars on the other side, no matter what tactics the head coach arranged before the opening, those few Olajuwon after the opening In the round, there will always be so many hands, no matter who the opponent is, whether it is Michael Jordan, David Robinson, Shaq O'Neal, or whether the opponent will double-team or double-team. Whether it is double-teaming or three-person double-teaming, Olajuwon will seek to completely overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum during the period after the start of the game.

"Kenny, give me the ball, let me take you to fly!" This is what Olajuwon often said to Kenny Smith, and behind these words is Olajuwon's strong self-confidence, and invincibility. In Kenny Smith's view, Yan Hua, the "successor of Olajuwon", is not far from Olajuwon in terms of personal strength, but in terms of self-confidence, Yan Hua is still far behind, and this will be the main factor that determines whether he can reach the height of Olajuwon in the future.
