Chapter 297 Victory over the Nuggets Again
The games on the first day were all focused games, and the battle between the Thunder and the 76ers made fans mesmerized.

Counting it, this is already the Thunder's sixth consecutive loss to the 76ers. Among them, they lost four games in a row in the finals.It's just that this time the game seems to be closer to victory, if there is no Durant's breakthrough dribble error...

Some Thunder fans believe that the Oklahoma media said that trading Harden is a good thing.After all, judging from the game against the 76ers, the newly traded Kevin Martin can also play an excellent ability to grab points. He scored 18 points and 2 rebounds in only 9 shots, which is better than scoring without the ball. Ability, it seems that it is more suitable for the Thunder and junior than Harden.

After the offseason, the 76ers did not seem to be as invincible as the Philadelphia media boasted. Without the impactful second team, it would be difficult for the 76ers to open the game with the second team. Just like today against the Thunder, there are a lot of problems on the defensive end.

Collins said after the game that we need a running-in time, and this period is a painful period.

The running-in of the 76ers is a small running-in, anyway, the new players are basically substitute players.But on the other side of the west, the run-in of the giants and giants of the Lakers is a big run-in.It's not just Howard's running-in when he came to the Lakers, but also the running-in under the entire Mike Brown system. A superstar of the same level came in the locker room.

As a result, in the opening game of the day, the much-anticipated Lakers F4 team lost to the Mavericks at home at Staples.

91 to 99, from the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers were suppressed by the Mavericks.This is not the point. The point is that the Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki did not play at all and is still on the injured list. Only Collison, Mayo, and Brandon White were used. The Lakers luxury team was defeated.

After the loss of this game, the Lakers team suffered tremendous pressure.

Tang Wenlong didn't watch the game, and he was surprised to hear that the Lakers lost to the Mavericks in the opening game, but he didn't take it seriously. He felt that the Lakers' lineup would definitely be the top team in the league if they got well in the future. What a big deal, the Lakers often lost to the Bobcats in the years when they won the championship.

The media believed that the 76ers' second team would hardly be impacted by the young team. As a result, the 76ers would face the Nuggets back-to-back the next day.

The 76ers players have long been prepared for the difficult schedule.In order to narrow the gap between the teams, the league often takes care of teams with poor records last season in terms of schedule, and teams with better records like the 76ers tend to have worse schedules.But when faced with such a difficult schedule, the players who had just trained for a month were still complaining. The head coach Collins made up his mind to shorten the playing time of the veterans in this game.

After all, the Nuggets are the most famous track and field team in the league.

After the Nuggets traded Anthony, the record has been good in the past two seasons. The head coach George Karl deserves to be the top coach in the NBA. In terms of team activity and tenacity, the league is second to none.

Ty Lawson has grown into a first-class point guard, and Faried, Corey Brewer, Wilson Chandler, and JaVale McGee are all athletic players who can run and jump. This team played a bombardment sound and color, it seems to be more powerful than the Warriors, Suns and other teams with a tradition of bombardment.

Arriving at the Wachovia Center, the young Nuggets players are also full of energy and want to have a good game.

The 76ers are the defending champions, beating such a team, or getting a luxurious statistic in such a game, tomorrow's headlines should not be able to run away, it can have a sublimation for one's life, and one's own market value is also important. There can be an improvement.

So from the beginning, the Nuggets screamed and began to attack the 76ers inside.

This is not a good choice. Marc Gasol's ability to protect the frame is too strong, and the Nuggets have received too much interference when they come in, and the perimeter defensive blockade formed by Iguodala and Tang Wenlong is very restrictive for breakthroughs. Be careful and the ball will be taken away by these two people.

The Nuggets were immediately pitted by the hole they dug. Before halfway through the first quarter, they made four turnovers and missed consecutive shots. They only scored 7 points in the half quarter. On the other side, the 76ers relied on counterattack or Attacked steadily and scored 15 points in the half quarter.

George Karl immediately requested a timeout, replaced McGee, replaced big center Koufos, and honestly fought tough battles with the 76ers.

At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers beat the Nuggets by 29 points 17-12.

"The Nuggets dug a big hole themselves." When Tang Wenlong was sitting on the bench, Marc Gasol, who was resting next to him, said with a smile.

Gasol agreed with Tang Wenlong's point of view, "The essence of defensive counterattack is to find the opponent's mistakes. We rarely make mistakes, and the small ball tactics basically have no effect."

"The key is that JaVale McGee can't stand you, and he can't protect the rebounds well. The inside line is completely controlled by us. We don't have much effect if the outside line breaks through, unless the mid-range jumper." Tang Wenlong thought about the Nuggets With the tactical changes in the first quarter, he now prefers to analyze the situation on the court more and more.

"And still can't make the shot." Iguodala made up the knife.

In the second quarter, Collins let Billups play for 4 minutes, then replaced the veteran and replaced Iguodala with a rest to organize the offense. Guard, Ray Allen and Butler flank, Leuer power forward, center is Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown was a bit fierce defensively. He received 3 fouls in this quarter, but he prevented the Nuggets from flying around and smashed the dunk of "Half Orc" Faried twice. After that, the Nuggets couldn't raise their morale, and the game entered the second half tepidly.

The Nuggets were always behind. After the start of the fourth quarter, Tang Wenlong made a three-pointer and assisted Butler to hit a three-pointer, leading the score to 3 points.

Then the Nuggets counterattacked frequently, and Ty Lawson's body shaking changed very sharply. The Nuggets played hard 8-0, and once saw the hope of a big reversal in the final quarter.

Collins called a timeout. After returning from the timeout, Tang Wenlong made an air cut to the basket. Gasol hit the ground and gave him the ball.

This acrobatic goal won the applause of the whole house and locked the top five goals of the day in advance.

Afterwards, the Nuggets' counterattack became weaker and weaker. With 3 minutes left, George Karl saw that the situation was over, so he replaced all the players and replaced them with marginal players, substitutes, and rookies to experience the NBA arena.

The 76ers also replaced the bench, and the game entered garbage time...
