NBA super point guard

Mavericks starting lineup: Chandler, Nowitzki, Kidd, Peja, Stevenson. The first team is mainly defensive. Kidd's first lineup is to defend Billups. defect.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets launched a strong offensive ability.

Nene wins the jump ball, Billups holds the ball, Afflalo screens on the wing, and after Billups advances to the frontcourt, it is handed over to Anthony.

Anthony singled Peja sideways, but after sitting twice, he was handed over to Afflalo.

Able to play three positions, Afflalo's ability cannot be shown in the statistics. As one of the Nuggets' firepower, Afflalo attracts defenses in order to open up space for Anthony.

The Nuggets can be fast or slow. When the ball returned to Billups, they still held the ball unhurriedly. Anthony received the ball when he came to the outside wing.

Anthony raised his hand and shot, not afraid of Peja's defense at all.

Feeling hot, this is the current Carmelo Anthony, who made 8 of 6 in a single quarter, 3 of 3 three-pointers, scored 15 points and 3 rebounds, and ended the game in the first quarter.

Billups and Afflalo both hit more than [-]% of their shots. It was a massacre. From falling behind in the opening game to being beaten, the Nuggets showed momentum at home.

Although Nowitzki used the golden rooster independence on the outside, he didn't feel good.

Kenyon Martin is very smart against Dirk Nowitzki. When he is in the low post, he cooperates with Nei Nei to double-team. Offensively, Chandler got a shot instead.

In the first quarter, Chandler went 5 for 5 and took on the offensive task, which was unimaginable in the past.

The main reason is that Peja and Kidd played poorly, which has something to do with the Nuggets' defense.

This lineup is mainly based on mid-range jumpers. Only Chandler gets space under the basket. Other players will encounter double-teams as long as they enter the free throw line.

Li Muhua could tell that the Nuggets blocked the mid-range and low post, limiting the space for mid-range shots.

The Mavericks played pretty poorly.

In the second quarter, Li Muhua, Terry and Marion played.

After Li Muhua held the ball, under the cover of Marion, he directly rushed into the inside line. Birdman Anderson was stuck under the basket, and Harrington assisted in double-teaming.

The Nuggets still did not let go of their inside advantage in the bench lineup, and Li Muhua couldn't get a chance.

At this time, whether it is a point or a shot, the wing space has been blocked, and Billups blocked the middle from behind.

Li Muhua made a sudden stop, leaned against Birdman under the basket, stopped the ball and turned around to feign a jumper, then opened up the space and threw the ball to the outside.

Terry made a direct three-pointer from the wing.

Scored an open jumper.

Li Muhua clearly calculated the running positions of all the players in his mind, and the outside line is where the Nuggets' defensive loopholes lie.

Kenny was full of surprise:

"I know LI's passing is great, but I don't understand how he finds Jason Terry on the perimeter with no vision in that position!"

"Yes, the general playmaker will hold the ball at the top of the arc, so that it is convenient to see the changes in the whole court, and the low post players can observe the whole court by virtue of their height. It is amazing that a defender can pass this kind of ball without running. !"

Barkley affirmed and explained.

Only then did the fans suddenly realize that the passing of the ball was very abrupt, but as for where the magic lies, few of them could tell clearly.

After compressing the defensive space, the outside line will inevitably be exposed. This is a defect of the three-two defense. If the shooting rate is low or there are few outside shooters, then the Nuggets' defensive strategy is undoubtedly successful.

The offensive end is open, posing a threat to the Nuggets' defensive tactics.

Off the court, Coach Carlisle had already seen this, and specifically told Li Muhua and Terry that the role of a guard is to break through and score the ball, and even layups will rely on speed to cause damage to the inside.

Playing big with small players is an opportunity for misplacement caused by players' abilities.

The Nuggets are a team that focuses on star singles. Coach George Karl has long been dissatisfied with Anthony, who has dominated the ball, but there is no way to control it. After all, he is a big-name player in the league. The big names didn't bother to talk about it.

The Nuggets attacked again, and Li Muhua defended against Billups.

Billups saw the changes in the Mavericks and constantly adjusted the rhythm of the game. What Li Muhua did was to interfere with Billups' rhythm.

It is also a rhythm competition, although Li Muhua is not as well aware of the influence of game rhythm on players as Billups is, but he is not far behind.

JR Smith came to pick and roll, Li Muhua and Terry switched defenses directly.

Billups made a pass back and JR Smith held the ball in a three-threat move.

Li Muhua defended close to the body, JR Smith dribbled the ball back and forth, constantly changing the direction of the breakthrough, Li Muhua was not swayed by JR Smith, and followed closely.

JR Smith stepped back and shot a three-pointer quickly, and Li Muhua jumped up to interfere with the defense.

Nerve Knife is generally so daring to hit, it can scare people to death when it feels good.

This ball hits the iron directly.

The Mavericks attacked, and Li Muhua used the cover to break through to Harrington.

Harrington is very strong in offense, but he uses his body too much in defense, and it is difficult to attack fast players alone. Li Muhua turned his back and broke through quickly again, passing Harrington in one step.

In normal games, Li Muhua seldom breaks through like this. One is that his body puts a lot of pressure on the ankle and knee joints when he is speeding up. On the other hand, the tactics do not support the first position to force a breakthrough to find attacking space.

But today is different, and Coach Carlisle had to make a change.

During the bench period, Li Muhua can also play as a combo guard, and he and Terry take turns rushing to the inside with their speed to find shooting space for mid-range jumpers.

Nowitzki finally started to play.

The offensive capabilities of the main force of the Nuggets are all top in the league.

The inside defense is the foundation that the Nuggets are proud of. In this case, Anthony can focus on offense. Nene and Birdman Anderson are weak in defense and attack. In other words, the Nuggets have no ball crisis. Anthony can play as he pleases.

There is no solution to offense, and the Mavericks have a headache dealing with this kind of team.

Nowitzki was restricted by double-teaming in the low post, and Li Muhua got a shot from the outside.

After receiving the ball, Li Muhua ignored the defense of JR Smith or Billups, shot directly, hit three consecutive three-pointers, and the Denver Pepsi Center was silent.

Billups shook his head as George Karl kept gesturing from the sidelines.

There is no way, Li Muhua moves flexibly, and his teammates cover the outside line. As long as he cruises behind his teammates, he will catch the ball and shoot directly.
