After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

In the next game, Lawson was locked up by Su Jiuyun. Yes, locked up. The only thing he could use was his sharp speed, but it was useless now.

So Iguodala took over the offensive guidance of the Nuggets, and the two biggest shortcomings of the Mavericks' lineup facing the Nuggets were directly exploited.

That is, Mayo can't guard Iguodala, and Carter can't guard Gallinari.

Especially after Iguodala helped Gallinari pick and roll, Gallinari could really shoot whatever he wanted on Mayo's head, and his shooting percentage was pretty good.

However, the Mavericks' offense also left the Nuggets with not many options.

The biggest problem of this Nuggets team itself is the defensive problem, especially in the protection of the inside frame. Farid's Korean version is very fierce, but his defense is very average, and Koufos can only be said to be average.

After Su Jiuyun's initial probing, he and Nowitzki also began to get into the mood.

After 4 minutes of play, neither team could open up the score. It can be said that the game was evenly matched.

Carlisle was the first to change his formation. He directly replaced Mayo and replaced him with Marion, putting Carter back in the shooting guard position.

Carlisle's change of formation, although his outside shooting ability has been reduced, but the height of the forward and defender can match the Nuggets.

Carter is old, but he is better because of his rich experience and solid defense. Although Marion is shorter than Gallinari, his long wingspan and his defensive ability make Gallinari much more uncomfortable than before.

Although it is not said that he was prevented from death, it was definitely uncomfortable, which can be seen from the decrease in his efficiency.

Two consecutive rounds of offense failed, but Marion, who had just come on the field, used his more flexible footsteps than Gallinari to successfully cut inside twice.

Su Jiuyun and Nowitzki each gave him an assist, and both of his attacks on the basket were successful.

These two goals are enough to show that this Nuggets team's ability to protect the basket is indeed average.

The Mavericks took the initiative on the court and firmly maintained their lead.

If Faried hadn't grabbed three offensive rebounds in the first quarter, the Nuggets' point difference might have been 10 points.

In the second half of the first quarter, the two teams began to change into rotation lineups. Big McGee, who was a top player from the neck down, replaced Koufos. 36-year-old point guard Andre Miller also replaced Lawson. You and others also come on stage.

For the Mavericks, Murphy also replaced Nowitzki, and Darren Collison, Mayo, Brand and others were also substituted.

Sitting on the bench, Su Jiuyun saw that they had just gained a 7-point advantage, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The Nuggets were not terrible in the first half of the season. What was terrible was that after the All-Star Game, he remembered that after the All-Star Game, the Nuggets seemed to have only lost 4 games and had the best record in the league during the same period.

And this season the Nuggets are dragons at home and worms on the road.

At the Nuggets' home court in Denver, he knew that the Nuggets' home record this season was the best in the league.

Entering the rotation, Collison, Carter, Mayo, and Murphy directly gave the Nuggets a critical hit.

First, Mayo took advantage of Brand's pick-and-roll and hit a 3-pointer. After Murphy received the ball at the 3-point line, Big McGee did not guard him at this time. Murphy did not miss the opportunity and raised his hand.

Needless to say, since the Mavericks changed their style of play, although Nowitzki has also returned, Murphy has still received a lot of playing time.

He averaged 18 minutes per game, hit 1.6 three-pointers per game, and shot 43% from the field. He can be said to be the offensive firepower of the Mavericks' rotation.

The playing time of Kaman and Brand has been further compressed.

The Nuggets' lineup is obviously not as strong as the Mavericks. Although the Mavericks were back-to-back yesterday, for them, with the cheers of the home fans, they still suppressed the Nuggets' rotation.

To be honest, every time he sees this lineup on the court, Su Jiuyun feels that the Mavericks are actually very strong. You know, three of them are the main lineup of the original time and space, and one of them is a substitute, but he is the team's third. Scorer.

In raw air, with Nowitzki missing a large number of games, the Mavericks still achieved a 50% record in the Wild West and almost made the playoffs.

You must know that this is the current situation where the west is strong and the east is weak. If a team with a 50% winning rate in the west is placed in the east, it is not impossible to reach the top four.

Although each player individually has various problems, under Carlisle's guidance, they can achieve a good record.

The rhythm of the game was on the Mavericks side. Although Iguodala worked very hard, Gallinari also took more shots on the offensive end, and when George Karl was locked up by Su Jiuyun, he also gave more to Gallinari and Iguodala arranges offensive tactics.

But Su Jiuyun and Nowitzki of the Mavericks are the anchors. Whenever the Nuggets want momentum, they will always stand up to solve the problem.

He can accept this, after all, a star player is a star player.

What made him even more helpless was the 3-pointers from the Mavericks Musketeers, which caused great pain to the Nuggets. He didn't understand. You have Su and Dirk on the Mavericks. Why do you let so many people shoot 3-pointers? Moreover, you always put 3 or 4 shooters on the team.

But it was obvious that he lost the battle with Carlisle. He watched Su Jiuyun on the court pass the ball to Crowder in the 4th position after a breakthrough and hit a three-pointer. The Nuggets had just regained their momentum. Beat it down.

In the last 2 minutes, the Mavericks regained an 8-point lead.

George Karl is a little confused. Is his basketball philosophy lagging behind? Throughout the game, the Mavericks' No. 4 stood outside the 3-point line most of the time when attacking. 8 of 5 shots were 3-pointers and he also hit 2 goals.

Although the Mavericks had physical problems in the last quarter, they still managed to defeat the challenging Nuggets 104:98.

The moment the game ended, Su Jiuyun relaxed completely, and then boundless fatigue hit him. He was really tired.

Under Iguodala's defense throughout the game, although it did not reach the level of hand-to-hand combat in the previous game, it was quite confrontational, and it was back-to-back. He felt that he was a little overdrawn.
