Chapter 341 Eight consecutive victories

In the second quarter, D'Antoni did not have a big rotation, replacing Nash and Stoudemire with Barbosa and Hunter.

Nuggets coach George Karl replaced Earl Boykins and Nene Hilario for the injury-prone Camby and Andre Miller.

The game started in the second quarter. The Nuggets had the right to attack the ball. Boykins dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, one step away from the three-point line, and made a three-pointer without any hesitation.

An unreasonable three-pointer was thrown, drawing a wonderful arc in the air.

Swish!
Boykins is 168cm tall and can gain a foothold in the NBA by virtue of his violent scoring ability.

Afterwards, the fake action of holding the ball in the middle and dribbling to catch Buddha deceived Barbosa's defensive center of gravity.

Ignoring Hunter's supplementary defense, adding frequency at the basket, he jumped up, dodged the defense in the air, hooked his right hand, the basketball rubbed against the basket, got into the net, and scored a two-pointer.

The Nuggets are a very emotional team that plays with enthusiasm and rhythm. Once they play well, the offensive firepower is very violent.

Stimulated by Boykins' outburst, the Nuggets played a wave of offense.

The offensive rhythm is soaring, which is very suffocating.

Buckner's three-pointer blossomed. After receiving a ground pass from Boykins, he raised the knife and hit a wonderful three-pointer steadily, proving his strength as a starter.

Kenyon Martin's impact is still strong, although the mid-range shot is a little unstable, but with his explosive physical talent, he is a threat to score when he catches the ball and hits the basket.

What's more, Hunter sits on the inside, which makes the Suns' ability to protect the basket weaker.

In addition to the quick whirlwind, the Nuggets played vigorously, even if they fell into a positional battle, the Nuggets' offensive firepower was still strong.

Nene can play pick-and-roll cooperation with Boykins to attack the Suns' inside line.

Nene Hilario's physical talent and Stoudemire are not inferior, and the offensive efficiency at the basket is quite high.

Neither Barbosa nor Hunter could stop Nene from rushing forward.

Successive dunks at the basket, the Suns' defense lost ground and retreated steadily.

Not to mention, the Nuggets also have Anthony with super scoring ability.

Anthony can be said to have Wanhuajian's offensive methods.

He can put on an offensive three-threat posture. Although the pass may not be passed, just breakthroughs and shots are enough for Richardson.

The offensive three-threat poses, if Richardson keeps up with Anthony's probing steps and feints in the air.

Anthony can directly force a breakthrough, and then make a two-point mid-range shot with an emergency stop. He can also use his strong physique to reach the basket, attack the basket from close range, and score the basketball.

Facing the frame, Anthony has many offensive methods, and his scoring efficiency is not low.

In addition to face-to-face offense, Anthony also has a powerful back-up offense.

Holding the ball and leaning against Richardson's body, he can directly use his physical talent to hit the opponent.

For example, use your butt to drive your opponent away, turn around and take a jump shot with a fadeaway.

There are also fake moves, shaking Richardson away with ball skills, and then stepping on flexible feet, or breaking through to the basket for dunks, or turning around and shooting jump shots.

Only you can't think of it, there is no offensive technique that Anthony can't do.

Of course, Anthony's three-point shooting is not stable.

However, with the current two-pointer as the mainstream, the poor three-pointer is not a weakness, but an advantage.

After all, Jordan told the world with practical actions that the winner of the mid-range shot wins the championship.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets played a violent offensive, and all the people were soldiers, scoring 33 points in a single quarter.

Fortunately, the Suns' offensive firepower is also extremely strong, and they are not afraid to confront the Nuggets at all.

Even if this is the home court of the Nuggets, and the opponent is still playing their favorite offensive rhythm.

Barbosa's organizational support ability is not strong, but he can increase the speed.

Richardson's three-pointers blossomed on the flanks, frequently using long-range three-pointers to bomb the Nuggets' basket.

Compared with Anthony, Joe Johnson's individual singles are not inferior. The only thing he lacks is a domineering arrogance and not much offensive possession.

In other words, the Suns have too many good offensive players, the offensive ball is relatively scattered, and Joe Johnson's character is relatively low-key. With his strength, he can directly reach out for the ball, but he did not do so.

When the team needs him to score, he will stand up without hesitation, and he is very reliable offensively.

Marion's touch is also good, pulling to the outside to shoot, and running without the ball, cutting layups, and playing quick counterattacks.

He did a good job, tenaciously withstood the Nuggets' offensive.

The game scene in the second quarter was still very open. Both sides were desperately attacking, but the score was very tight, so let's not even think about running far.

33 to 32! !
At the end of the first half, the Nuggets led the Phoenix Suns by 60 point with a score of 59 to 1 only by virtue of a three-pointer.

The difference of only 1 point is almost negligible, and the two sides are still playing very anxiously.

The game started in the third quarter, the Nuggets had physical problems, Anthony's performance on the field plummeted, and he didn't score a point, and he shot a 4-0.

Fortunately, Kenyon Martin was there, and as the Suns shrunk the inside line, they used mobility to carry out an inside defense encirclement and suppression of the Nuggets.

The problem of Kenyon Martin's lack of accurate mid-range shots emerged prominently, and his impact style of play was severely suppressed.

Although Andre Miller is also the leader in assists, he was born on the bad team of the Cavaliers, and it is not as good as Kidd, who is the strongest actual NBA point guard.

Playing without Kidd's passing organization, Kenyon Martin, an All-Star power forward, played very hard and his offensive threat dropped drastically.

Once the opponent is defending and tightening the inside line, he will become at a loss. In the third quarter, he only scored 3 of 1 and scored 2 points.

The second place in the 96 golden generation, Camby, is 211cm tall and weighs only 100Kg. He has no low-post offensive ability at all, and he can't break through the Suns' defense.

The most important thing is that the Nuggets are not equipped with a strong three-point shooter on the perimeter.

Andre Miller has a three-point range, but he is more of a breakthrough to the inside, and the attack of the mid-range shot is not stable.

Moreover, the control over the team's offensive rhythm is very insufficient.

When the Nuggets were in a bad state, he was still speeding up, and he was still fighting with the Suns on offense, without any other means of control.

This is why no matter how many points the Nuggets lead, they will not be able to establish the victory of the game.

When this style of play goes crazy, chasing points is terrible, but losing points will also look stupid.

Even if the shooting state is not good, or even bad, they still shoot from the outside, even if the opponent makes a move, they also choose to fight the opponent to the end.

This made the Nuggets' offense even worse.

Fortunately, the Suns are at home on the plateau, and the inside line has been unable to open the situation, and Stoudemire's state is extremely poor.

Just relying on the outside offense of Nash, Joe Johnson and Richardson, running with one foot cannot run fast or far.

After the third quarter, the Suns scored 31 to 24, leading the Nuggets by 6 points and entering the final battle of the fourth quarter.

The game started in the fourth quarter, the Suns' offense was not smooth, and there was altitude sickness.

The offensive firepower of Richardson, Joe Johnson and Marion directly misfired.

Fortunately, Stoudemire finally stood up and played an unsolvable pick-and-roll tactic with Nash. The two used unpretentious pick-and-roll offenses to provide stable and continuous offensive firepower for the Suns' offense.

And the Nuggets are also not feeling well. The last game against the Spurs cost too much.

George Karl did not dare to play the glass man Camby, and Anthony, who was in poor condition due to physical problems, had greatly reduced playing time.

Andre Miller also had a problem with his state. He made 2 of 0 shots, scored a point, and had no assists. He went invisible directly.

Boykins and Kenny Martin held up the banner of the Nuggets' offense.

As a result, Kenny Martin shot 6 of 2 with a poor mid-range shot.

Boykins was not much better, he hit the iron to doubt his life, 9 out of 2!

With the Nuggets in such a bad state and the Suns' offensive firepower not performing well, they couldn't hold on and collapsed.

24 to 24! !
In the fourth quarter, both sides were not on the line, speeding up and running, but each scored only 24 points.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Denver Nuggets by 107 to 101 and 6 points, ending their opponent's nine-game winning streak and also achieving an eight-game winning streak.
