Chapter 916: Changes in the Nuggets!
After losing to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season, the Nuggets strengthened again this season, first on the bench. After all, the Lakers' substitute is known to the whole league, so the Nuggets have repeatedly attacked in the free market, and through lobbying and other methods, they have barely strengthened their bench! Strong rotation players like J.R. Smith, Chris Anderson, etc., have all come to the substitute of the diggers!
Following the digger team, he lost the team's blocking king, Marcus Camby. Last season, Marcus Cynby was really useless, and the data reached the low point of his career! Moreover, in the match against last season, Marcus Cynby could not even defend Gasol, let alone the Lakers' combination of two towers in the interior!
So the Nuggets mercilessly traded Marcus, which was comparable to the veteran who had been with the Nuggets for several years, and exchanged for the previous blue-collar insider Kenyon Martin of the Nets! Kenyon Martin once entered the finals with the Nets' trident, but in the end he lost to the Lakers who had the OK combination. Since then, the Nets have begun to decline, and then Kidd's departure and so on! Kenyon Martin has also left the Nets, and with Vince Carter who has gone with him this season, the Nets have become a bad team!
....................................................................................................................
Speaking of the Nuggets, after getting these people, the overall strength of the Nuggets is also the best in the West. Cameron Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Aaron Avraro, Nene, and Kenyon Martin, who just joined the Nuggets, the overall strength looks good! Plus a group of bench bandits on the bench! It seems that the Nuggets are going to achieve the goals that were not achieved last season this season!
The Nuggets' lineup is the above, point guard: Chauncey Billups, countdown: Aaron Afflaro, small forward: Cameron Anthony, power forward: Nene, center, Kenyon Martin!
The lineup sent by the Lakers are: point guard: Luke Walton, countdown: Kobe, small forward: Meta Waldpes, power forward: Gasol, center: He Yiming!
This game also attracted a lot of media reporters. TNT also chose to broadcast the game. ESPN also sent its own commentary duo: Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson!
In ESPN's live broadcast room, Mark Jackson was still interacting with the audience before the game, guessing who would win in this game would be bigger! Mark Jackson said: "Although his current books on the Nuggets also look good, I think the Lakers' winning rate is higher!"
"Why do you think so?" Reggie Miller continued!
"Because the Lakers' lineup has been well adjusted, whether it is Kobe, He Yiming or Gasol, their tacit understanding has been perfectly shown last season. Although Meta Waldpes is now added, his main purpose is defense. The most important thing for the Lakers' offense is to the other three!
The Nuggets on the other side are different. Marcus is comparable to that of the inside. Adding a new Kenyon Martin will inevitably make the cooperation difficulty of the inside. The Nuggets finally got the lineup skillfully last season. This season, another new player has been added, and it needs to be re-engineered! Naturally, it will not be the Lakers' opponent. The most important point is that the combination of Nene and Kenyon Martin should not be able to beat the combination of He Yiming and Gasol! Nene is not He Yiming's opponent, and with an old Kenyon Martin, he is even more not He Yiming's opponent!
When He Yiming is liberated, Nene will run around again, Gasol will also be liberated, and the Lakers' double tower tactics will be played again! By then, the Nuggets basically have nothing to resist!"
"Think about what Mark, you said makes sense, but there is another more critical point you didn't mention! It is the defensive situation of the scorers on both sides. Cameron Anthony has to face Meta Waldpes' defense, and it is difficult to play, but Kobe is facing Aaron Avraro. Can he defend Kobe?" Reggie Miller added!
"Yes, there's nothing wrong!"
“………”
The game is about to begin, and the players of the two teams have entered the court! He Yiming and Kenyon Martin came out to jump the ball. Nene originally wanted to come over to jump the ball, but when he thought of the game against the Lakers last season, he seemed to have never won the jump once, so he simply gave up this idea. Kenyon Martin looked eager to try!
It seems that he intends to compete with He Yiming. In his opinion, he is a senior. He could have reached the finals with the Nets long ago. Although he lost to the Lakers in the end, that was his highest moment! This person, once he got some honors, he could easily fly up and not know who he is!
You should know that when he was with Kidd, he was led by Kidd. Who was Kidd? The game control king, he could let you get high data with a blue-collar team! Kenyon Martin relied on Kidd's assists to score 14 points per game, plus his average of 10 rebounds per game, which looked very good! But after leaving Kidd, Kenyon Martin's data dropped to 7.7 points per game and 8 rebounds per game! This scoring data dropped by half!
However, Kenyon Martin did not think it was because of his own strength. He always thought it was because Vince Carter and the others did not pass him! In fact, Vince Carter wanted to pass the ball, but because he was not Kidd, Vince Carter was well-known for shooting and then three-pointers. What is Kidd famous for? That is his passing skills!
So, Kenyon Martin chose to leave the team that created the highest light in his career and came to a Nuggets with such a good point guard and such a good opponent!
