Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 278 I Love Tacos

Just as it is difficult for people to believe that Larry Brown started as a cannonball, it is difficult for fans after the new millennium to associate George Karl's teams with iron and blood defenses.

After the opening three tricks, as the Lakers players gradually entered the state, the defensive intensity gradually increased. Haslem showed a passionate fighting spirit and blood, and did a good job of defending Kenyon Martin. Leonard's crosshair also returned to the earth, and the Nuggets' scoring efficiency gradually declined.

After Garnett roared and blocked Anthony's layup, he took advantage of the opportunity to pass a pass directly to the fast-moving Kobe. After a zero-361-degree turn dunk, only 0.8 was left in the first quarter. Seconds, the Lakers scored 39 points in a single quarter, leading the Nuggets by 9 points and entering the second quarter.

Jim only had time to arrange substitutions and adjustments for the assistant coach, and was pulled aside by the reporter for an interview.

"The season has just started, we need to let the players get back to the game faster, so encouraging them to put more energy into the offense is the best choice. In any case, scoring goals is the easiest way to improve the morale of the players. The Nuggets We played fast and felt good. We were able to take the lead. The first is that the mistakes were well controlled and there were not too many passes. I asked the players to shoot resolutely after the first opportunity came out, and their performance was also good. "

In the first quarter, Kobe took the lead and scored 16 points alone. Garnett had 4 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, heading straight for a triple-double.

Jim’s use of Garnett has drawn on some experience from his previous life. Many teams use the center forward to block the fast break. Garnett is a geek on the court. He can handle the ball by himself after grabbing the rebound, eliminating the need to hand it over to the guard, and the fast break is more fluid.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitutes one after another. The Lakers adopted a five-up and five-down rotation. Wade led the team, and Korver, Battier, Nene and Varejao lined up.

The Nuggets are a bit shabby, except for Earl Boykins, the remaining four substitutes are two high-ranked parallel imports Demar Johnson and Georgia star Skitishvili, 99 Francisco Elson, who was selected in the second round of the year but didn't land in the NBA until last season, and Jordan's Terminator who failed to win the Pacers championship and was brutally cleaned, and Byron Russell, the queen's background board.

Demar Johnson is finally no longer the worst player on the team, because Skitishvili is better than him. Behind every Larry Bird or Nowitzki, there are countless Kitishvili, Adam Morrison or Dragan Bender.

In front of the ferocious Nene, Skitishvili was bullied terribly like a candle in the wind. Nene grabbed offensive rebounds on his head consecutively and completed domineering dunks. Shane Battier gave him the thumbs up for his summer break.

As the strongest 165 on the surface, Earl Boykins has a good ability to score points, but his defense is almost negligible, especially when Wade is nearly 30 centimeters taller than him. In the case of 40 kg.

Wade didn't have the slightest sense of mercy, staring at the little elf on the court, he was beaten violently, crushed with his back, hit the mid-range shot, forced dunks, and ravaged Boykins with various tricks.

Under the continuous highlights of Wade and Nene, just 2 minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers played a wave of 8-0, leading 47-30.

George Karl called a timeout, and if this continues, the game will go far.

Facts have proved that calling a timeout is not enough. The Nuggets lineup has no offensive power except for Boykins' three-pointer. After completing the dunks, Andre Miller and Anthony were brought up again.

Battier is responsible for marking Anthony. Unlike Artest's aggressive and muscular defensive style, Battier's defensive style mainly relies on position selection and blocking, allowing offensive players to shoot in an uncomfortable way as much as possible .

The two took turns to fight, which made the little Melon who had not fully evolved extremely uncomfortable, and frequently struck iron.

Seeing that the backup lineup was about to be hammered by the Lakers, George Karl had to switch back to the main force ahead of schedule.

But Wade's touch has been burning and he can't hold it anymore. After Kobe and Garnett returned to the court, the defensive pressure on Wade was further reduced. He became the main attack point of the Lakers in the second quarter. Take 8 points.

After the second quarter, the score was 75 to 52, and the Lakers entered the intermission with a huge lead.

Back in the second half, the Nuggets did not make any effective resistance. Except for Kenyon Martin's occasional strong attack at the basket, there were not many bright spots and the efficiency was not high.

The Lakers broke 100 points in three quarters, and the audience stayed on the scene hoping that the team could keep the Nuggets under [-] points, so that everyone could get a free taco.

The main lineup basically clocked in and got off work. Only David West was depressed. Sturt was put into the starting lineup. As a result, today, he became the only matchup disadvantage in the starting lineup. He made 6 of 1 shots, scored only 2 points and 5 rebounds, and received 5 fouls on Kenyon Martin.

After being substituted, West was a little frustrated, and Billups on the side comforted him.

When Trevor Ariza received a pass from Wade, feinted to fly Byron Russell, and bravely cut into a two-handed dunk, igniting the audience, all 12 Lakers players on the court had scored.

The more the Lakers players played, the happier they were, but the Nuggets players had only one thought in their minds, "Let this end soon."

127 to 88, the Lakers slaughtered the Nuggets by a big score at home and got a good start to the season.

科比出场仅30分钟便得到34分，韦德28分4篮板7助攻，加内特拿到12分15篮板9助攻的准三双，湖人6人得分上双。

For the Nuggets, Kenyon Martin, who represented the team for the first time, scored 21 points and 12 rebounds, and was the only fig leaf. Anthony scored 19 points, but only made 23 of 6 shots.

The old coach George Karl suffered such a disastrous defeat in his first game, and he couldn't hold back his face. Even after the game, he hurried back to the locker room without shaking Jim's hand.

"What can I say? Our players played a perfect game. It is an unforgettable experience to achieve such a wonderful victory in the first official game of coaching. I love tacos!" Finally, Jim was interviewed with a taco handed out on the spot.
