It actually reached a half-quarter climax of 17-8... The process seemed to be quite difficult, but looking at the score, wasn't it just a half-quarter climax?

Kevin Plitchar suspected that they chose to help his rookie compete with the opponent's rookie when they were only choosing one of two defensive directions.

As a result, he actually hit the opponent's seven inches!

In the first half of the quarter, the Trail Blazers sought stability on the defensive end. The height, weight, confrontation, defensive enthusiasm, and defensive coordination of positions 1-5 were all very good.

But facing the Trail Blazers' steady defense, the Nuggets' offense played very smoothly with many changes.

In two rounds, the Trail Blazers tried to cut off Andre Miller or Anthony from connecting with their teammates. As a result, both players were very aggressive in singles.

George Karl, who led a giant combination like Payton, Schrempf, and Kemp to the Finals and fought the Bulls in 6 bloody games, was too good at utilizing the individual abilities of his stars.

It looks great, but actually, it’s just ‘just right’!

Teamwork, utilization of star strength, counterattacks...etc., the Nuggets are in a 'just right' situation.

In fact, the team offense of this youth army is not really that good!

When one of the links was broken, no one on the Nuggets could control the situation.

Anthony can attract defensive attention by catching the ball, and he can attract double attacks by breaking through. This must be used.

But Anthony attracted a double attack and passed the ball out. The person who responded was not good enough. Forget it, there is still no commander who can control the field and guide his teammates on the field!

Therefore, it seems that the Nuggets have been getting direct scoring opportunities, but the candidates are given by the Trail Blazers. The Nuggets' offense becomes more and more monotonous, and even seems to be stagnant, and the previous interleaved movements are gone.

If there is an opportunity to easily catch the ball, who would run to make a run...

This situation is incredible, but it happened to the Nuggets.

Andre Miller was replaced, but it failed to bring about a change.

Why is the old Miller called the "weakest assist leader in history"? It's because he has almost no ability to control the team's offensive rhythm.

Regardless of strength, just in terms of assists, Andre Miller is similar to Brevin Knight. If you arrange things for him to do, and other conditions are met, he can do very well.

But letting him control the court like Billups and Kidd... it's too difficult for him.

Kevin Plitcha thought about it. If Liu Xiu had not proposed his immature idea, then he and Maurice Cheeks would most likely have chosen to cut off Anthony, a rookie, from his teammates and let the rookie play alone...

Then George Karl used the star's personal abilities to continue to hammer him!

Maurice Cheeks, the coach, doesn't have too many mood swings. In his opinion, the result is good.

Unexpected situations can be noted down to see if they can be used as their regular strategy against a certain team.

…

Come back after a break between festivals.

The combination of Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Dale Davis was replaced by Maurice Cheeks.

The Nuggets replaced Andre Miller, Voshan Leonard, Rodney White, Chris Anderson, and Camby.

After the start of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers were led by Randolph.

Liu Xiu was not in a hurry to score...the more anxious he was to score, the more difficult it would be.

He's not a little blacksmith from the West Coast who wants to remain anonymous. He doesn't have the ability to create difficulty while still scoring points.

Just like in the second half of the first quarter, he scored 3 goals and scored 6 points in 4 rounds, but only scored 2 points after that. He was not in a hurry. Anyway, as long as Anthony was on the court, his team would lock down Anthony as the first priority.

One goal.

It's a crooked hit, but this one is right! It's a wonderful move!

Also, when Anthony was not on the court, the Blazers' rotation was playing against the Nuggets' rotation, and they didn't get much advantage. The fight was back-and-forth, but Liu Xiu didn't dare to mess around.

It's not that the Nuggets will be stronger without Anthony, but the Trail Blazers just have the ability to execute that half-hearted strategy.

If they change the team, they are not strong enough. Even if they learned how to deal with the Nuggets after watching this game, they still won't be able to use it.

The Nuggets' rotation is indeed very strong, with Andre Miller, Joan Barry, Francisco Elson... and the progress of young players.

Liu Xiu was very calm and kept his composure. When he needed to play it slow, he would play it slow.

Moreover, if you don’t forcefully seek to score, there will be no shooting opportunities?

of course not.

At 2 minutes and 49 seconds in the second quarter, Liu Xiu took over the blame with 4 seconds left. He rushed to close range and encountered the Birdman defense. During the confrontation, he forced a throw and bounced the basket a few times.

Got it!

10 to 9, individual score comparison, Liu Xiu overtook Anthony!

At 5 minutes and 33 seconds into the second quarter, Liu Xiu took advantage of Randolph's threat to grab an offensive rebound and caused a foul. He made two free throws, raising his personal score to 12 points!

During Liu Xiu's free throw, Anthony, who had rested for less than half a quarter, asked fiercely to play, but George Karl couldn't resist. Moreover, at this moment, he felt the temperament of the man he admired most from Anthony.

George Karl imagined a figure of a tireless blacksmith on the coastline, and agreed to Anthony's request.

The Trail Blazers also made substitutions, with Tianzun and Ruben Patterson replacing Derrick Anderson and Dale Davis.

Anthony was replaced, and the Trail Blazers players were shocked!

At the end of the first quarter, Anthony was extremely irritable and took a break for half a quarter. After he calmed down, how could he not know that he had fallen into the opponent's trap?

He didn't know how to break the opponent's tactics from a tactical perspective.

That's what the 13th overall pick, Kill a Thousand Knives, is good at.

What he is good at is singles! Endless singles!

With a strong fighting spirit and sufficient self-confidence, Anthony stepped into the highly targeted defense of the warden and prisoners without looking back.

During the break, Liu Xiu informed his teammates of his understanding of Anthony's singles in as much detail as possible.

The butcher under the basket carries the impact, Tianzun and the lawless maniac make up for defense, assist in defense, and attack in a flanking attack. Kobe's terminator defends, and the warden...just shout 666! Occasionally, you can sneak to the opponent's supporting inside line and try to see if it can

Can't steal!

Anthony is very capable, very ambitious, and very spirited... But no matter how ambitious and spirited he is with 50 yuan, he won't be able to attract people quickly, right?

Now Anthony is just a scorer who has just stepped into the first-class level.

Compared with the second half of the first quarter, this time the Trail Blazers were more prepared defensively.

Anthony went on the field with the hope of all the miners, but the result was an even more tragic mining disaster!

In the first five and a half minutes of the second quarter, the Nuggets and Trail Blazers scored 15-14, which was inseparable, but in the second half, they scored 7-14.
Chapter completed!
