king of defenders

Chapter 1388
And coach Atkinson also responded quickly, replacing Yang with Belica, because Belica's three-point shooting ability is better than Yang's.

The purpose of this substitution is also very clear. The opponent wants to limit their own outside shooting, relying on the twin towers inside, and the other three players don't need to shrink their defense, but what if the Nets have more outside shooters?
Bjelica is 208 cm tall and plays the 4th position, but he has excellent three-point ability and can also be used as a shooter, so that the Nuggets' outside players cannot be defended.

pick and roll!

Meng Yun asked for a pick-and-roll, then broke through and rushed to the inside.

The Nuggets have a twin tower consisting of Jokic and Plumlee inside. Their defensive area is very wide and high. Meng Yun did not rush directly, but distributed the ball outside and gave it to Dinwiddie. Gary Harris dives on Dinwiddie, who passes to Bjelica.

Plumli was facing Belica, but because of Meng Yun's breakthrough, Plumley returned to the inside line, and it was too late to pounce on Belica.

Belica adjusted a little and hit a three-pointer.

Coach Atkinson nodded with a smile. What he wanted was this effect. Either the opponent used the twin towers to block Meng Yun from scoring after breaking through, or he could only watch the outside line miss.

Of course, a very important point is that the Nets must be able to shoot the ball from the outside. If they fail to make a shot when they have a chance, it will be useless.

The head coach of the Nuggets frowned. Fortunately, the Nuggets were still playing well on the offensive end. Jokic stepped forward to pick and roll Murray. Murray suddenly scored and passed back to Jokic. At the same time, he made a shooting action, but in fact it was a fake shot and a true pass, and the ball went directly to the basket.

Belica reacted and wanted to intercept the ball, but he was a little shorter than Plumlee, so he couldn't intercept it. Plumlee took the ball and made a dunk.

In the next few minutes, the Nets of both sides played well on the outside, but the Nuggets had an absolute advantage inside. The two sides were evenly matched and the score was still anxious.

Seeing that 8 minutes had passed in the third quarter, the Nets made a substitution, replacing Meng Yun and Anthony successively, and replaced Dinwiddie and Carroll.

When Meng Yun came down, the Nets immediately fell into a disadvantage.

"The Nuggets are really strong, with a deeper foundation than ours." Meng Yun thought to himself, "I'm fine when I'm on the court, but when I step down, I'm no match for the Nuggets in our rotation. "

When Meng Yun came down, Murray was liberated.

Of course, it would be fine if Murray was alone. After all, the Nets also have Dinwiddie, but apart from these two, the Nets in other positions are not as good as the Nuggets.

For example, on the inside, Jokic was replaced, but there was Plumlee. Allen was not Plumlee's opponent. Coach Atkinson could only replace Allen with Noel, but Noel Paul's defense is okay, but his offense is not good enough, and he can't offset Plumlee.

In addition to the personal abilities of the players, the cooperation between each other is also a problem. After all, there are new players and original players, and the tacit understanding has not been cultivated.

Although under Meng Yun's deterrence, there was no more infighting between each other, but the coordination was still a little tacit, and the attack was relatively simple and the efficiency was not high.

The score was still tight before, but now it is gradually being pulled away by the Nuggets.

By the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets led by 8 points.

"It's a pity that the point difference was widened again, and the substitute players didn't play well enough."

"The tacit understanding is not enough. After all, this season has just started. Just now, Noel actually had a good chance in the interior with two balls, but his teammates failed to pass the ball. Well, maybe it has something to do with the defender not seeing it. After all, their Compared with Meng Yunlai, there is still a big gap in organizational ability."

In the auditorium, the fans were discussing.

The current point difference is not very big, only 8 points, but the Nets did expose a lot of problems. Compared with the Nuggets, the overall cooperation of the Nets is obviously worse.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Nuggets continued to expand their advantage, and the point difference was quickly opened to more than [-] points. Coach Atkinson looked at Meng Yun: "Meng Yun, wait for you."

Meng Yun got up and began to warm up.

After the substitution, Meng Yun returned to the court, and the situation of the Nets was a little better. Under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Nets began to chase points and gradually narrowed the score.

However, the Nuggets are very stable, perhaps because last season's experience in the playoffs had an effect. Compared with last season, they have grown significantly. Watching the Nets gradually narrowing the point difference, they did not panic. Very calm, he seized the opportunity to score the ball again and again, making it difficult for the Nets to really catch up with the score.

Before I knew it, there were only three minutes left in the game.

Meng Yun held the ball, asked for a pick-and-roll, and then accelerated the breakthrough. Jokic stepped forward and delayed, but Meng Yun suddenly made a European step, which surprised Jokic. He didn't react. After being passed by Meng Yun, he hit the ball Enter.

The goal was scored, and the difference between the two sides was only 4 points.

However, the Nuggets are not bad, and they quickly reciprocated. When the game time dwindled and the score was unable to catch up, the players on the Nets side seemed a little nervous and anxious, and their shots became less and less. Rushed, not calm enough, and mostly outside shooting.

"At this time, you need to be steady. If you want to score the ball, wouldn't blindly shooting from the outside play into the hands of the Nuggets." Meng Yun frowned and reminded his teammates.

Coach Atkinson also called a timeout for a special order.

However, the Nets are indeed lacking in this aspect compared to the Nuggets. The Nuggets can remain calm when the score is close, and even if Meng Yun reminds the Nets, the coach tells the players It still looks a little flustered, and the result is a waste of opportunities.

In the end, with just over a minute left, Meng Yun directly took over the offense. First, he called for a pick-and-roll, then suddenly accelerated his breakthrough, forcibly entering the inside line and jumping up, confronting the defender. The ball is scored.

However, the Nets wasted a lot of opportunities before, which was tantamount to giving the Nuggets a chance, allowing the Nuggets to seize the opportunity to widen the point difference to 8 points.

Meng Yun scored this breakthrough, and the point difference is still 6 points, and there is only 1 minute left in the game.

In the last minute, the Nuggets also made adjustments, strengthened their defense against Meng Yun, and even began to double-team, but Meng Yun still made a three-pointer, but in the end they were powerless. Murray also used the pick-and-roll to make a mid-range shot, and the Nuggets still led by 1 points.

Waiting until the end of the game, the score was 119:114, and the Nuggets won by 5 points.
