Chapter 867: The Nuggets want to speed up the rhythm?
Of course, a side effect after replacing the main player earlier is also reflected, which is a consumption of the main player's physical strength. In the fierce playoffs, the players' physical strength is consumed relatively much! However, this time, the failure to replace the players according to the regular rotation time leads to the physical strength consumed by the main player on the field in the second quarter!
Fortunately, it still made some results, otherwise the difference in scores would not be as simple as 11 points! George Carl had no choice, the main force could not beat, and the substitutes could not beat! He could not beat his opponent in terms of skills and tactics, and the Nuggets were still too young! If you gain more experience or accumulate more tactics, it might be better if you are a little bigger!
Just as George Carl was adding tactics to the players, Barkley was also discussing with Kenny Smith in the live broadcast room of TNT!
"Kenny, what will the Nuggets do in the second half? I think if they continue like this, they will likely be killed by the Lakers!"
"That's right, we just saw it. If the Nuggets coach hadn't replaced the main players earlier, the 11-point gap might have been wider! I think the Nuggets must be anxious too! After all, if they continue to lose in this game, they will be the Lakers' match point, 3:0! The Nuggets can't escape at all, they can only stay in the Western Conference Finals!" Kenny Smith looked further!
"If you continue to play like this, the Nuggets are not the opponent of the Lakers at all. If 3:0, the Nuggets will not have much morale or confidence! If the Nuggets win this game, it would be a little better! It all depends on their performance in the second half!" Barkley added!
“……”
"Next, we'll do it like this!" George Carl was still setting tactics for Nuggets players before he came on the court!
"Dou!" At the beginning of the second half, the fans at Pepsi Center, led by the DJ on the spot, cheered the Nuggets loudly, which also added a little confidence to the Nuggets players!
The ball belongs to the Nuggets, and Nene sent the ball to Chauncey Billups at the bottom line! Chauncey Billups did not dribble at the steady pace according to common sense, but instead accelerated the attack on the Lakers' half-court!
"This! What does the Nuggets' tactic mean? Do you want to attack the Lakers? Speed up the pace as soon as you start!" Barkley asked in confusion!
"I don't know, but I know that the Nuggets' move to compete with the Lakers is a dangerous move! If you are not careful, the rhythm will be controlled by the Lakers. Isn't this just a direct victory to the Lakers' mouth? Is the Nuggets confident of playing against the Lakers?" Kenny Smith's explanation aroused the curiosity of many fans! "Is it possible that the Nuggets are ready to give up!" Or, "They are really confident that they will play fast-paced with the Lakers, and they will win!"
The audience's attention was focused on Chauncey Billups! The Lakers were still calm on this side, after all, they were the ones who were in the lead! No matter what tactics the opponent played, they just needed to maintain a good lead!
Chauncey Billups dribbled quickly through the half-court, and Kobe followed directly. Chauncey Billups didn't hesitate. After a sway, he cut into the inside line, not caring about Kobe's defense at all! Look at this, he really planned to be fast-paced. After all, Chauncey Billups, who has always been known for his stability, will not ignore his opponents and teammates, and he will advance to the inside line!
Kobe and Chauncey Billups were both entangled at the free throw line. At this time, the Lakers' backup defense also came up. Chauncey Billups also found it difficult to continue moving, but the Nuggets players also came up. He turned around and passed it directly to Anthony Parker who came to the center circle!
On the other side, Anthony was defended as soon as he came over. Anthony Parker originally wanted to give the ball to him, but seeing that he was defended, he didn't dare to pass the ball easily. He could only control the ball and make a breakthrough. As soon as he reached the three-point line, Luke Walton went up to defend him! Anthony Parker kept in mind what Chauncey Billups said and chose to directly press Luke Walton to break through! The result was that he was also limited to the free throw line! Although Luke Walton's defense was not very good, he could not break through like this!
The Nuggets' offense seemed to be defended by the Lakers at this moment. The fast pace they brought before was slowed down when they met the Lakers! But the Nuggets' tactics are not that simple. What do you know if you ask me? Nonsense, if that's the short answer, why did George Carl say so long?
....................................................................................................................
Similarly, Barkley and Kenny Smith were also guessing how the Nuggets' tactic would play? It was impossible to be defended so easily! As expected, Anthony Parker found that he was limited to the free throw line and directly chose to pass the ball. His passing position was very clever. He did not give Chauncey Billups or Anthony, but directly gave it to Marcus Camby! That's right, it was passed to the inside!
Marcus Cambi has arrived at the free throw line to meet him, so he was easily passed to Marcus Cambi! Following Marcus Cambi with the ball, he directly chose to turn around and play back.
"Is it possible to make Marcus Camby single? This is too strange, right?" Neither Barkley nor Kenny Smith understood it!
Following the Nuggets, they told them the answer, and Marcus Cambi was passing the ball again with the back. This time he gave the ball to Anthony! Because Anthony was also breaking into the inside, he just cooperated with Nene and got rid of Bathir who had been following him. After receiving the pass from Marcus Cambi, he jumped up with the trend. Gasol was defending Marcus Cambi, and He Yiming and Bathir were also blocked by Nene! After all, the inside line is just so big!
"Brush!" Anthony scored the goal directly!
