After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

Don't think that just finding an old player to be your spiritual leader is useless. If you want to build up the morale of the team, you must give the players confidence.

Where does the confidence come from?

Of course he is a superstar.

How can we build morale without a superstar to back us up?

This is why in NBA history, except for the Pistons who did not have a superstar that year, every team that wins the championship has a superstar.

Because this is a guarantee of winning in the playoffs.

Iguodala clapped his hands, called for everyone to gather around, and then made a pre-game slogan.

After shouting the slogan, Iguodala said:

"Guys, we are still leading 2:1. As long as we fight this game, we will have a great chance of eliminating our opponents when we return to our home court.

It's time now, why not give it a try? We have nothing to be afraid of. Fighting is our responsibility.

Remember, if you want a big contract, your performance in the playoffs is more convincing than in the regular season. "

Well, Iguodala is indeed Iguodala, directly using money to encourage his teammates.

His words were rude or not, and the Nuggets' fighting spirit slowly returned!

In this game, George Karl made adjustments to the Nuggets' starting lineup and removed power center Kosta Koufos.

There is no way. In the last game, Kostakoufos used the pick-and-roll to defend Su Jiuyun. It can be said that he had no defense.

When he was on guard and was surprised again, his speed couldn't stop Su Jiuyun at all. It was no exaggeration to say that he could pass him in one step.

But when he was not guarded, Su Jiuyun shot 3-pointers. Although excluding the careless and unguarded 7-pointers at the beginning, he only made 3-for- from the next.

But 7 of 3 shots were enough to scare the Nuggets.

Therefore, he decided to remove the big center in this game and replace him with Wilson Chandler.

The Nuggets' starting lineup becomes: Ty Lawson, Andre Iguodala, Wilson Chandler, Gallinari, and Kenneth Faried.

George Karl pushed the 2-meter Gallinari to the 08th position.

There are no changes to the Mavericks' starting lineup.

At the beginning of the game, the intensity of the game immediately increased, and the Nuggets directly started the intensity of physical confrontation.

Su Jiuyun withstood Iguodala's full-court defense and started a pick-and-roll in the first round.

He used a pick-and-roll to get rid of Iguodala, but Faried appeared in front of him in time.

Su Jiuyun tried to break through. Farid's footsteps were much faster than Koufos's, and he was physically stronger.

Therefore, although Su Jiuyun rushed in, he did not get rid of the defense at all.

But on the other side, Crowder helped Carter cover the open space without the ball, and he was on the side where Su Jiuyun broke through.

When Su Jiuyun played the ball on the move, Carter reached the ball and took off after catching the ball.

This ball is completely open.

"Beautiful, the cooperation between the Mavericks' ballless players covered the open space. Su Jiuyun's passing vision was pretty good and he found his teammates in time.

Unfortunately, the ball is a little too big! "

The ball didn't go in. After being protected by Iguodala on the backboard, he quickly advanced directly.

At this time, the Mavericks players quickly returned to defense, and Carter entangled Iguodala and blocked his advancement.

In the playoffs, all teams are much faster in returning to defense, and the Nuggets' effectiveness in chasing their opponents' backsides in the regular season is directly compromised.

The Nuggets lost their fast break opportunity and could only enter a positional battle.

This time the Nuggets also played a pick-and-roll. Lawson faced Nowitzki's defense, and the small one beat the big one against Nowitzki.

Nowitzki really couldn't keep up with Lawson, so he broke through and scored a layup before Crowder could get back in position.

"It can be seen from this offense and defense that the Nuggets are well prepared and have made targeted changes! Not to mention, the effect is very good."

Yang Yi agreed with Yang Jian's words.

"Yes, why are the playoffs more difficult? Not only because the intensity of the confrontation is stronger, but also because in the 7-game 4-win game, there are targeted adjustments between offense and defense.

If your opponent exploits your weakness and has no solution, you are in danger. "

Carlisle also knew this, but as the winner of the previous game, he could not take the initiative to seek change.

It should be said that every team is like this in the playoffs. They will not take the initiative to change after winning. After all, a winning style of play means it is easy to use.

They all wait for the opponent to make a move before responding.

One offense and one defense, although it can be seen that the Nuggets are targeting Su Jiuyun and Nowitzki, he is not in a hurry and wants to watch a few more rounds.

Su Jiuyun controlled the ball, and the pick-and-roll with Nowitzki failed, and Iguodala squeezed over.

Facing the pursuit and interception of Faried and Iguodala, Su Jiuyun was unable to do it by himself. He wanted to pass to Nowitzki, but the passing route to Nowitzki was cut off by Iguodala's conscious positioning.

He could only pass the ball to Claude who came up to respond.

However, after passing the ball, the Mavericks failed to find a good shooting point. In the end, the ball was intercepted by Iguodala, who counterattacked and hit a layup.

0:4, the Nuggets lead.

It wasn't until the fourth offense that the Mavericks relied on Nowitzki to hit Faried.

At this time, everyone in the Mavericks team already knew the Nuggets' defense, which was to strangle Su Jiuyun, and would rather double-team him than strangle him to death.

On the offensive end, Lawson was used to play Nowitzki after the pick-and-roll, which was the same tactic as Su Jiuyun played against Koufos in the last game.

After Su Jiuyun dribbled the ball past half court this time, he directly directed Carter to position in the mid-range.

Then he lobbed the ball to Carter, who leaned back like this. Lawson's 1 meters tall was like a child guarding an adult in front of Carter's 8 meters tall.

Moreover, their physical strength is completely different.

Carter turned around immediately after dribbling the ball, not even bothering to pay attention to Lawson's defensive position.

As soon as Lawson was pushed behind him, Carter had already turned inside.

At this time, Gallinari came over to defend, but who was Carter?

The 36-year-old Lao Yao was once one of the top four shooting guards. It was normal to be double-teamed during his peak period. If you are double-teamed, you must know how to score.

Therefore, no matter who the top four shooting guards at the time were, they all had excellent passing abilities. Not to mention many, they averaged 4 assists per game in their peak period.

Carter did have about 5 assists in his peak period, but due to a foot injury later, his breakthrough ability was not as good as before. He was more positioned in the role of catching and shooting, so the assists became fewer.

But it doesn't mean that he doesn't have the ability to pass. When Gallinari came over to defend, he hit the ground and passed the ball. Crowder caught the ball and dunked.

"boom"

This dunk made the fans at the scene finally vent their anger. After all, they had just been beaten by the Nuggets. As fans, they still seemed very aggrieved.

Carlisle originally wanted to call a timeout, but Su Jiuyun did an excellent job in organizing and distributing the ball this time, taking advantage of Carter's dislocation to hit Lawson.

Without Koufers' rim protection, and without Faried, who has better athletic ability and movement speed, at the 4th position, Gallinari can't do a good job in assisting defense at all. After Carter takes Lawson alone, should he take action himself? You can pass the ball.

"Rick, Su's understanding of the game has improved again!"

Carlisle looked at O'Brien beside him and nodded.

"Yes, his growth potential is very high!"
