December 3, Pepsi Center Arena.
The Heat have encountered the most hellish schedule. They have just finished playing the Kings and have to go back to back to the Nuggets' plateau home court.
During the warm-up, Wade and Anthony had a great chat.
Both of them are super rising stars of the 2003 Platinum Generation. It can be said that they are classmates. They even sat on the bench together in the 2004 Olympics. The bench is like a prison. The two of them have been in prison. James, a social butterfly, has gone through the trouble and hooked up the brothers. The possibility of basketball, that is, meeting to carry a gun, and in the future to ride a banana boat together, the relationship between the two will naturally heat up quickly, at least it is much better than those half-cent relationships.
Walker and Camby, as players of the 1996 golden generation, didn't think much and simply said hello.
Andre Miller and Posey in 1999 also had something to talk about. I think back then, Posey made his debut with the Nuggets.
Su Bei once again became a warm-up player with no emotions.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Heat started with 5 players, Mourning, Haslem, Posey, Wade, and Jason Williams.
The Nuggets' starting five are Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, Anthony, Greg Buckner, and Andre Miller.
The game was broadcast live on TNT, with guest commentators Mike Busson and Marv Albert.
"Because O'Neal is absent, the Heat's state has been ups and downs recently, and their record is mediocre. There is nothing to say because the core is absent.
The same goes for the Nuggets, who encountered injuries.
In the first game of the new season against the Spurs, the Nuggets' main center Nene Hilario collided with Duncan after playing only 3 minutes.
And then Duncan had nothing to do with it.
Nene Hilario is miserable;
The anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee was torn, the middle ligament was torn, and the meniscus was torn... The season was canceled immediately, and it was still a contract year. I worked too hard.
Camby can only play the center position he doesn't like, and the Nuggets, who are on the rise, have a poor record. They are now 8 wins and 9 losses and are experiencing a three-game losing streak. "
"The only news now is that the Nuggets are in the Northwest. It seems that except for the Jazz, no one can beat them. The Nuggets are very likely to take the route of having a superior division record and ensuring the top three... "
In other words, the Jazz, Timberwolves, SuperSonics, and Trail Blazers who are all in the northwest theater should fight hard and hard. If you encounter other teams, you can fight as hard as you can. If you can't fight, it depends on your strength. Next A team from the northwest theater will fight against each other with bayonets.
The NBA league is divided into 6 major divisions, 3 in the East and 3 in the East. The minor league champion in each region can guarantee the top three spots in a division.
Therefore, if you do not have the strength to overwhelm all teams in the regular season, you must plan well and play well in the minor leagues in the division.
This is also one of the reasons why the Rockets will easily encounter the Jazz in the next few years. They will pick soft persimmons to beat.
The game begins.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball into the sky. Camby made an amazing jump, defeated Mourning, and scored the first attack for the Nuggets.
Karen Mok...no, it was Andre Miller who controlled the ball to the frontcourt. It was a positional battle. He immediately passed the basketball to the boss to organize.
“Anthony takes the ball and sets up a three-threat offense.
Posey was once the starting small forward of the Nuggets. In order to make room for Anthony, the Nuggets did not choose to renew Posey's contract. The two did not become teammates, and they should be considered close friends for a long time...
After Anthony took a step, he accelerated and broke into the paint. After driving Posey's defensive focus, he suddenly jumped up from the ball and made an emergency two-point jumper..."
James defended very actively. This is a grudge between the predecessor and the current one.
They have no intersection, but the moment Anthony gets the Nuggets star and small forward position, they are destined to be enemies.
Swish——!
“Anthony hit a two-pointer and he was in the lead.
Compared with Anthony, Percy still pales a lot. It's not that big of a difference, but the gap is not that small. "
0 to 2! !
Su Bei watched quietly as Percy was being beaten. He could only observe a moment of silence. Then he opened his eyes wide and tried to figure out a way to defeat Anthony through Percy's appearance and being beaten.
This bench is not just for sitting in a daze.
On the court, during the Heat's offensive round, Jason Williams took the ball to the frontcourt and also gave it to Wade.
"Wade held the ball, feinted a shot, suddenly broke out, and led a strong charge inside. With a bang, he knocked away Greg Buckner's body, continued to take a step, European-stepped the ball for a layup, and passed the hurdle like lightning. He helped with defense, got to the basket, and made a lob in the air..."
Swish——!
Wade's offense was also easily crushed and scored.
All I can say is that the 2003 Platinum Generation is so terrifying.
Greg Buckner is 1.93 meters tall. He was a second-round pick in 1998. He averaged 7 points and 3 rebounds per game. His statistics were mediocre and he played defensively.
Anthony and Andre Miller are both strong offensive and defensive players. Buckner can use his fierce defensive style to add a little toughness to the Nuggets, but it's a pity that he ran into Wade.
My physical condition is at a disadvantage. Being strong alone is not enough. You also need to be good at technical skills.
Next, Buckner was overwhelmed by Wade's sudden and complete physical talent. It was the kind of shouting that broke the throat and no one helped.
Wade made a sudden outside shot and performed superbly.
Fortunately, the Nuggets are not a team that relies on defense to win.
When Wade hits Anthony's people, they look back, and Anthony hits Wade's people. No one wants to just take advantage.
Buckner was unlucky, and Percy was no better.
"Anthony turned his back, shook his shoulders, turned around, raised his hands and hit a two-point fadeaway jumper!"
…
"Anthony raised the ball and swung it, collected the ball and broke through inside. After catching the ball, he turned around, jumped up very high, made a clang, dunked with one hand, and scored two points!!"
…
Anthony displayed eighteen kinds of martial arts skills on Posey, without any repetition. This is a bit exaggerated, but it is also true. Anthony knows a lot of things and changes a lot of attacking postures every time.
Su Bei felt that this "melon" was too difficult to break.
It's easier to just be an Anjing role player. Anyway, he has an annual salary of 580,000 yuan, and he will be beaten when he plays.
After the first quarter, the score was 31 to 30, and the two teams were almost evenly matched. The Heat only took a 1-point lead with their better defensive strength.
In the second quarter of the game, George Karl had a headache. Without the general Nene Hilario, the Nuggets' rotation was too weak.
The only good news is that the Nuggets don't require defense. As long as the offense is strong, they will get a chance to play.
As a result, the Nuggets' rotation was led by Earl Boykins, who was 1.65 meters tall.
Others are casual, Camby, Kenyon Martin, Edondo Najera and 2005 rookie Linas Kleiza played.
For the Heat, the three musketeers of Payton, Su Bei, and Walker do their part. It would be nice to have the shorter Jason Williams in the starting lineup, and Michael Doyalik, who can grab rebounds, as a substitute.
The second quarter started and the game was all about offense from the start.
"Boykins is too small. His breakthrough is like a bug. His ball control point is as low as the ground. His rhythm is as fast as lightning. His burst, his speed, and his power all explain one sentence: Condensation. Yes, they are all the essence!
A breakthrough like the essence of human beings. Jason Williams, who is 1.85 meters tall, meets Boyinkins who is 1.65 meters tall, or maybe even only 1.60 meters tall. The mismatch is too obvious, and the Heat's defense cannot stop it..."
The Nuggets hold a bug in their hands. They can give away defensively, but offensively, they can turn into a dragon. Their only goal is to hurt each other!
To put it bluntly, it's just stalling for time.
Basketball is not a game of Landlords. On the court, having such an offensive weapon is very useful in delaying time.
Su Bei felt that defensively, he was just running back and forth, but offensively, it seemed as if the Nuggets had no defense, and it didn't matter whether he was there or not.
He didn't want to make soy sauce, but he was forced to make soy sauce.
Everyone is a sidekick, and there is only one protagonist, and that is Earl Boykins.
"The Heat's strong bench has become a mere display in front of Boyinkins, who is in excellent offensive form, without any advantage..."
"It was like a game of hawks and chickens, the Nuggets' rotation just slipped through."
Five minutes later, Su Bei returned to the bench dejectedly with 0 points, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks and 1 rebound.
Defensively, Linas Creza, who was opposite him, was the 27th overall pick in 2005. He did not receive the basketball, so Su Bei and him could only stare at each other.
Offensively, the Nuggets' biggest flaw is Boyinkins. Both Payton and Jason Williams can easily solve it...
Then I leave?
Su Bei could only play lonely.
When encountering such a weird thing, Su Bei is powerless and has nothing to do. This is not about martial ethics!
