The biggest move of the Denver Nuggets during the offseason is undoubtedly to use a 5-year contract of 148 million US dollars to renew the essence of "human pork belly"-Nikola Jokic. At the same time, spend another 4-year contract of 54 million US dollars to renew Will Barton.

Two contract extensions to ensure the completeness of the lineup last season. Although they failed to make the playoffs last season, they ranked ninth and almost made it to the playoffs.

The Denver Nuggets are definitely worth the money for the contract extension of Nikola Jokic. As a rookie player who entered the league with Ye Fei, he has proved his unique strength since his rookie season.

As a European inside player, Nikola Jokic has comprehensive skills on the offensive end, a bit like Ye Fei who used to play inside.

certainly.

Just talking about the center position, Nikola Jokic's strength is also a few grades behind Ye Fei, but his playing style is a bit like Ye Fei. Whether dribbling or passing, whether inside or outside, whether scoring or organizing, he can play.

Last season, Nikola 23 Jokic averaged 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, an extremely comprehensive performance. Although the steals and blocks are a bit hip, but such a lump of pork belly, standing in the penalty area, is still a bit of a deterrent.

What the Denver Nuggets are looking for is Nikola Jokic's ability to support and organize offenses.

Nikola Jokic, who led the team in scoring and rebounding last season, will be the core of the Denver Nuggets' future. Mike Malone will surround him and form a very impactful playoff team.

Will Barton averaged 15.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game last season, the team's fourth scoring point, and the most fierce firepower player on the bench. It only costs more than 10 million US dollars a year. This contract extension is also very lucrative .

There are also Gary Harris, Jamal Murray, Paul Millsap and other powerful players in the team. The overall strength of the Denver Nuggets is not vulgar.

Only the point guard is on, which is almost interesting. The Denver Nuggets didn't find a good candidate. They took a gamble and signed it. They were so crazy at the time that they wanted the Celtics to drive a truck and dragged dollars to renew their contract. In the end, they were beaten by chicken eggs and suffered from injuries. There was no other way. Back to the top, once cut Isaiah Thomas.

Maybe some people can't eat four dishes in their whole life. The contract given by the Celtics was actually not low. Some people had to ask for a maximum salary contract. Now Isaiah Thomas can only join the Denver Nuggets with a basic salary.

Didn't know what was going on?

A little less is a little less, it is better than now, nothing at all.

Poor child, in this life, I estimate that I can afford four dishes.

The two contract extensions for the Denver Nuggets are critical, and several reinforcements are also very targeted. The nature of their gamble, a minimum salary contract, signing Isaiah Thomas, is like going to scratch. It would be best if he could win the big prize. If he couldn't meet his expectations, he would be laid off at worst. Anyway, it's just a basic salary contract.

And they also traded for Isaiah Whitehead as an option.

Ye Fei has to give the management of the Denver Nuggets a thumbs up. Their lineup this year is very likely to make the playoffs, and they are still relatively high.

Because their lineup has already achieved initial results. They are undefeated in the previous four games. In one of them, when they met the Golden State Warriors, they beat their opponents by two points. Like the Los Angeles Lakers, they won four consecutive victories in the new season.

As the two teams with the best record in the current Western Division. The Denver Nuggets met the Los Angeles Lakers, and they were still playing away. They still had no way to win the game today. It depends on how they lose, today's game, how many points Ye Fei wants them to lose.

Ye Fei observed Mike Malone's coach's formation intentionally, and found that he had no intention of cutting himself. It seems that he was not bewitched by Popovich.

The game will be harmonious.

Ye Fei didn't intentionally stop playing, but when he encountered the opponent's tight defense, he deliberately missed some shots, so that the point difference between the two teams was completely opened up without a single hit.

The two sides played back and forth, and the Denver Nuggets showed the strength of a strong team in the playoffs, and once seized the opportunity to lead the Los Angeles Lakers.

Although Ye Fei's performance on the offensive end is not as fierce as in the previous few games, but he can work hard on the defensive end. With the first quarter of the game, several beautiful steals and blocks at the last moment

Ye Fei helped the Los Angeles Lakers and successfully regained the initiative on the court. They entered the second quarter with a 5-point advantage.

In the contest of rotation players, the Denver Nuggets are still better. They have too many people who can play.

And as the most flexible fat man in the active NBA league, Nikola Jokic has brought a great test to the young inside players of the Los Angeles Lakers. Either they can't stand it, or they are not as strong or tall as him. The key is that he still has good handwork and controls the rhythm very well.

Can pass the ball, can support, can be inside and outside, it's really hard to defend.

certainly.

Ye Fei is willing to go out and rub him on the ground every minute. With his slow dribble, Ye Fei can let him touch Ye Fei with ten dribbles, and nine of them will be cut off. .

In today's game 043, Ye Fei wanted to act for Popovich, deliberately to disgust him.

Back on the court, Ye Fei tried his best to rely on defense and his own passing organization to help his teammates score points.

certainly.

He still has to seize the opportunity to score more points on the court. Ye Fei estimated to keep his hand, causing the game to go to halftime. The point difference between the two teams is still not big, and the Denver Nuggets are still 5 points behind the Los Angeles Lakers.

In the critical third quarter, Ye Fei didn't break out to score points like in the previous games. He still silently controlled the rhythm of the game through other methods.

After three quarters, the Denver Nuggets are only 9 points behind. Ye Fei will definitely come back in the last quarter.

The Denver Nuggets once tied the score, but Ye Fei, who returned to the court, continued to put pressure on both ends of the offense and defense. And it's very interesting that once the opposing player fouls Ye Fei, he has a high probability of being able to throw the ball into the basket. If they don't touch Ye Fei, his shot may not be scored.

Ye Fei defended twice at critical moments, holding down Nikola Jokic and helping the Los Angeles Lakers beat their opponents 121 to 114 at home without any risk.

This is an interesting matchup.

The next game for the Los Angeles Lakers is even more interesting. .
