Chapter 250 Your Defense Is Too Bad
In the last dozen or so games in April, the competition became even more fierce.

The 76ers have 12 opponents left.

There are league leaders like the Bulls and Lakers, strong playoff teams like the Nuggets and Sun Wizards, and of course teams like the Clippers and Bucks.

However, no matter who the opponent is, the 76ers will fight every game.

……

In the first three games, the 76ers lost two games.

92-94, Iverson missed the lore, and the 76ers lost to the Suns by 2 points.

86-87, the 76ers were shot by the Wizards' Webber with a three-pointer at the buzzer.

Very depressing two games.

However, the 76ers quickly recovered from the lagging Pistons.

111-85, the 76ers beat the Pistons by 26 points!
However, the loss of the two games caused the 76ers to fall again.The Hornets took the fourth place again.

And the Eagles, who are sixth behind, are only one game away from the 76ers!
This is the case in the April game, and one step may change the fate of the team.

On April 4th, Denver, cloudy weather, sometimes sunny.

Nuggets, this is the 76ers' fourth opponent this month.

Although the 76ers players arrived here one day earlier, they still felt a little uncomfortable.

Here is the plateau!
Like the Utah Jazz on the same plateau, the home of the Denver Nuggets is also somewhat powerful.

The altitude of Denver's home court is 1609 meters, 1300 meters higher than the 300 meters of the Jazz's home court, and it is the highest home court in the league.

The Nuggets, currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, have played 70 wins and 26 losses at home in the first 10 games.

The teams that come here have to pay more or less. It is not so easy to get out of the whole body.

The McNichols Stadium, home of the Nuggets, has a lot of people today.Of course, the attendance of the Nuggets at home this season is very high.

It's really exciting that the team can turn from last year's poor performance to a playoff team.

As the regular season draws to a close, there are more basketball fans on the scene.

Before the game, Wang Dazhi also took good care of Li Nan.

"Xiao Li, how do you feel coming here? Will you be rebellious?"

"It's okay, basically the same."

The altitude is less than [-], which is nothing to Li Nan.

Wang Dazhi still didn't forget to remind, "Xiao Li, my brother reminded you, be careful later, don't make a high-back if you don't pay attention, it will scare people to death."

"hen~ no, don't worry." Li Nan has been to higher places.

"Really, Xiao Li, I was just as careless as you when I first came here, but I was almost out of breath later on. Let me tell you, you must be careful to know? You..."

It is rare for Wang Dazhi to be the host, and he really cares about Li Ke.

In the end, Li Nan suddenly said lightly, "Don't worry, I'm not you."

"I~why do I want to kill you so much?" Wang Dazhi was anxious, but Li Nan was smiling.

Before the start of the match, the two were chatting and laughing, but when the match started, the two of them changed immediately.

On the court, the Nuggets still had the same lineup as last time, and their style of play was familiar.

The serious-eyed Wang Dazhi singles Coleman with the ball in high position.

After Coleman lost weight, his movements became more flexible, and he was stronger than Wang Dazhi in terms of strength.

However, Wang Dazhi is following the technical route and will not insist on you.

Push twice, then suddenly turn left, switch to right hand dribble, forcefully.

Coleman was slightly behind, Wang Dazhi opened a hole and went straight to the basket!

Ben Wallace immediately came to the defense and blocked the way.

Wang Dazhi smiled lightly and threw the ball to the basket, helping Dean Garrett behind Ben Wallace.

boom!
"Xiao Li, did you see it? This is my home field!"

Wang Dazhi is more confident!
This is what Li Nan is very happy to see.

However, he wants to take away the victory of this game!
On the offensive end, Li Nan started the long-distance running mode.He is really flexible. With the help of his teammates' off-ball screens and the screens of the opponent's players, Li Nan kept circling and running.

The opposing Danny Fortson is a muscular man who is not good at speed. He really has nothing to do when he meets someone who can run like this.

An open opportunity appeared, and the guide ball from the outside line was delivered immediately.

Catch the ball, take advantage of the trend, flick your wrist, and say goodbye to the basketball with your fingertips.

Whoosh!
A middle distance pays off the color.

"Dazhi, your defense is too bad."

Li Nan also sent Wang Dazhi a smile.

"Our defense sucks? Yours isn't that good either?" Wang Dazhi retorted.

Li Nan hooked his hands, "Really? Then come and try."

Just try it.

Wang Dazhi attacked again.

Still playing Coleman one-on-one, it's over again.

However, at the very first moment, Li Nan blocked Wang Dazhi's way forward.

Before Li Nan came over, Wang Dazhi also passed the ball to Danny Fortson who was open outside the three-point line.

Danny Fortson hesitated, raised his hand and threw the ball.

呲~~

Danny Fortson's eyes widen in disbelief!

"Can you touch this too?"

Li Nan didn't close Fortson's shocked eyes.After catching the scratched ball, the 76ers have already launched a fast-break counterattack!

Defensive counterattack!This is a style of play that the 76ers like to use very much recently.

Iverson made a fast break alone and made an easy layup.

His fast break was too fast.It's easy to doubt whether he really participated in the team's defense.

Turning around, Li Nan said to Wang Dazhi again, "Dazhi, you really can't do it."

Wang Dazhi had nothing to say, he just wanted to teach this arrogant Xiao Li a good lesson.

However, the 76ers' defense did not allow Wang Dazhi to get what he wanted.

Coleman slowly adapted to Wang Dazhi's style of play. By leaning on and increasing physical confrontation, Coleman took advantage of a lot.

Wang Dazhi was consumed a lot by Coleman.Although he broke through in the end, there were still people waiting for him behind, and his passing route was taken care of.

As long as Wang Dazhi breaks through or plays a pick-and-roll, the 76ers players immediately form an encirclement circle, cutting him off from others.

It's very similar to defending Nash.

The Nuggets played a bit uncomfortable.Although Jim Burnheim changed the small point guard to organize with the ball, he still couldn't penetrate the 76ers' defense.

The Nuggets' own "zone defense" defense was disrupted by Li Nan's running position, and was bruised all over by Iverson's breakthrough.

Beep beep beep! ! !
The game is over.

104-82
The 76ers beat the Nuggets by 22 points.
