I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 95 The Chaotic Nuggets
"Hey, Kenny, a piece of latest news, the Chinese rookie of the Mavericks team was late for the training match today. This is the first time he has been late for training!"

TNT explained the game today is the "golden partner" Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

Barkley did not know where he got the news that Lin Yang was late for the training match, and he smiled obscenely, "Sure enough, for a rookie, it is extremely difficult to encounter back-to-back for the first time!"

"If he hadn't had a good rest last night, then Lin's state might have been sluggish in this game!" Kenny Smith glanced at the screen as he spoke. At this time, the rebroadcast shot happened to show Chauncey Billups, who was shooting and warming up on the field. The MVP of the 04 Finals can be said to be the No. [-] in the league's top three. "Lin may have to pay for his growth!"

Barkley was also staring at the screen, but what he was looking at was not Chauncey Billups, but JR Smith. When Lin Yang participated in the draft, the template given by the scouts was JR Smith: "No one should say that Lin's template is JR Smith, right? He can't be a scorer like JR Smith. His scoring explosiveness is not that good, but his organizational ability is far beyond the expectations of the scouts!"

"Lin is the standard No. [-] player. If his scoring ability continues to grow, I don't think he can't become China's magician!"

"Huh?" Kenny Smith was stunned for a moment when he heard Barkley's sudden surprise, and didn't answer. He had answered many words for Barkley, but this time he really didn't know how to answer!
"Magic" Johnson is definitely the top three in the history of the Lakers. Barkley suddenly said that Lin Yang will become a magician in China. It is conceivable that a large number of Lakers fans are rushing towards him with knives in their hands. Kenny Smith chose to play it safe.Quietly watched Barkley make amends by himself.

Barkley was also a little flustered. He also suddenly realized that he was facing the camera instead of bragging with his friends in a tea restaurant.

But the words have already been uttered, so I can only try my best to make up for it: "Well, what I mean is, when Lin continues to grow, when he is scoring ability, when he is able to control the game, when his charisma is, when..."

Barkley's remedy is very thorough, and Kenny Smith is sure that if he is a Lakers fan, he will definitely be relieved by now.

……

Lin Yang walked out of the player tunnel of the home team. Today he felt that the moment he walked out of the player tunnel, the volume of the cheers on the scene had a very obvious increase. The fans in this arena were finally willing to send cheers for him. It was because his name was Lin Yang, not because he was a Mavericks player.

It's not easy!

Lin Yang was also filled with emotion for a while.

Lin Yang, who was a little sluggish, was inspired a lot by the cheers. For the players, the cheers from the home players are definitely the best medicine.

Lin Yang had some experience today.

"Jason, I hope that the pace of today's game can be slowed down. If the Nuggets are allowed to run, our physical fitness will be in crisis. Therefore, today's pace must be controlled!"

After the statistics of the training results this morning, there are not many players in the Mavericks who have completed 100% of the training, especially some physical training. This shows that although the Mavericks won the game yesterday easily, the Mavericks did not save energy because of this victory.

There is no way to say it. It is also seven times a night. At the age of 20, I still feel that I am not satisfied. At the age of 40, I feel powerless.In the same game, a group of old guys with an average age of 34 must feel more tired than a group of young adults with an average age of 26.

So in this game, Rick Carlisle, who has always been at ease with Jason Kidd, focused on the rhythm of the game. In today's game, if you want to win, not letting the rhythm speed up is a very critical part.

"Guys, although we are playing away games today, I want everyone to be clear about one thing. The Mavericks standing opposite us just came back from Charlotte today. They urgently need to rest, so I hope you can play faster and don't give them any chance to breathe!"

The focus emphasized by Rick Carlisle is also the focus emphasized by Nuggets coach George Karl. The only difference is that Rick Carlisle hopes that the pace of the game can be slowed down as much as possible, while George Karl hopes that the pace of the game can be as fast as possible.

Jason Kidd and Chauncey Billups nodded solemnly when they heard their coach's arrangement. They all felt that the burden on their shoulders tonight was extremely heavy.

……

The game officially started shortly thereafter.

The Mavericks took the initiative. Amidst the cheers of the Mavericks fans, the Mavericks did not quickly enter the offense. Jason Kidd stood about four steps away from the Nuggets' three-point line. Watching his teammates slowly settle down, he dribbled the ball towards Chauncey Billups without haste.

Dirk Nowitzki faced Kenyon Martin, the No. 00 pick in 02. The latter was once known as the "parallel import No. 03 pick", but with the help of Jason Kidd, he quickly gained value in the league. 7 signed with the Nuggets, and the "Trident" of the Nets parted ways. Judging from Kenyon Martin's performance in the Nuggets in the past few years, he is definitely not worth the price. Without Kidd behind him, it is difficult for him to become a flying beast.

It is precisely because of his understanding of his old partner and current partner that Jason Kidd decided to hand the first ball to Dirk Nowitzki.Kenyon Martin is a very well-known "cooking master" in the league. Generally, he can gain the upper hand only when he encounters a power forward who is not as comprehensive as him. Once it is a power forward with super scoring ability like Dirk Nowitzki, he will definitely not be able to stand up.

"Shh!"

The ball fell into the net cleanly, and Kenyon Martin did not disappoint his former teammate at all. He was still the "master of abuse" who was helpless in the face of a stronger opponent than him.

"Wow ah ah!"

The cheers on the scene sounded at the same time as Dirk Nowitzki scored a goal. Although Dirk Nowitzki simply made a shot, for the Mavericks fans, the mood was similar to seeing a dunk. Dirk Nowitzki, who has become the totem of the Mavericks, has the urge to cheer the fans in the whole city with every movement.

The Mavericks took the lead, and when Chauncey Billups passed in front of George Karl, the latter yelled, "Quick!"

Fast, naturally refers to the accelerated pace!

Chauncey Billups immediately accelerated from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

A gleam of relief flashed across George Karl's face. He liked Chauncey Billups' execution, and he always thought he was lucky to be able to coach Chauncey Billups!

It's just that Chauncey Billups just arrived in the frontcourt, wearing the Nuggets' No. 15 jersey, the guy with a slightly round figure asked for the ball. When George Karl saw this guy asking for the ball, a trace of disgust flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

The guy who wants the ball is called Carmelo Anthony. He is currently the top three super scorer in the small forward position in the league.

When George Karl met Carmelo Anthony for the first time, what he saw was a talented boy full of talent, the brilliant future of the Nuggets, and another pair of classic mentors and apprentices in the league after "Popovich and Duncan" in the media.But until now, George Karl doesn't think he is much worse than Popovich, but Carmelo Anthony has changed from the future of the team to the cancer of the team in his eyes.

"Dangdang!"

Anthony missed a single mid-range shot in the face of Sean Marion, Tyson Chandler protected the rebound, and the Nuggets' first offense ended.

For most of this offense, neither the Mavericks nor the Nuggets were running at all, they just watched.

Obviously, this conflicts with what George Karl explained.

This also means that Carmelo Anthony stood in front of him before the game, completely ignoring his arrangement.

George Karl would like to replace Carmelo Anthony directly now.

But he remembered what general manager Masai Ujiri told him, and he had to continue to endure Carmelo Anthony's continued nonsense.

"George, I will give you a satisfactory answer, but everything will take time!" That's what Masai Ujiri told him. In the current situation, to appease Carmelo Anthony and prevent him from publicly attacking him in front of the media can the Nuggets take the initiative in trading "Melon".

In exchange for enough chips, the Nuggets can still walk on the right path after losing Anthony is the top priority. Compared with this matter, a few regular season losses are nothing!
It is for this reason that no matter how much George Karl hates Carmelo Anthony, he must keep Carmelo Anthony on the court.

"whispering sound!"

Carmelo Anthony, who didn't hit the first goal, was also a little upset when he returned to defense. He openly challenged him this summer and asked to be traded. Although he was appeased in the end, Marseille Ujiri has promised to trade him to a big city, such as his favorite New York City.

Now he urgently needs to use his performance to prove that he is still one of the best scorers in the league, and he is still the "peerless double pride" who can keep pace with LeBron James.

He can't wait to score 50 points in every game!
So he wished that every shot could be in his hands!
"Shh!"

Jason Kidd continued to feed the ball to Dirk Nowitzki, and the latter was also unceremonious. When there was room for singles, he played singles without hesitation, and the ball went into the basket again.

4-0 start.

The Mavericks scored both of their first two goals.

Rick Carlisle was a little stunned. This shouldn't be the Mavericks playing the Nuggets in his impression!He unconsciously glanced at George Karl. The NBA's "Thousand Wins Coach" is very good at playing fast-paced offenses, but the Nuggets are handing Anthony the first ball for singles. Rick Carlisle felt that either George Karl was too drunk, or George Karl's head was trapped by the door when he went out today!

Don't they know we played the Bobcats yesterday?
Don't they know that we have physical problems?
Are they... crazy?
Rick Carlisle scolded what he really wanted to say in his heart, because he saw that Carmelo Anthony was going to play singles again.

The rhythm is not coherent. When the ball is given to Carmelo, the Nuggets' tactical rotation will stagnate. If Carmelo Anthony is still on the court when I play, the defensive end must force all the balls into Carmelo Anthony's hands!

only……

Lin Yang was sitting on the bench. Although he was a little tired, he had no problem with his brain and could still tell the rotation, but if this guy feels good tonight, then this tactic cannot be used!
"Dangdang!"

Carmelo Anthony made a second shot and still missed.

"Cameron is currently one of the best singles players in the NBA. I personally think that he only talks about singles skills. He is not much worse than guys with rich arsenals like Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce, especially his triple threat posture. It can be said to be used like a textbook. However, tonight he is not so reasonable in the use of triple threat postures, and he is not as defenseless as he usually is. Everyone, including me sitting in the commentary booth, can also feel it. He is now thinking about offense. He let the triple threat posture It became a decoration!"

Kenny Smith cryptically criticized Carmelo Anthony. When Anthony first entered the league, he once liked this guy, but like all those who were optimistic about him, he also felt sorry for the 26-year-old and still immature Carmelo Anthony.

"Every player who is about to leave the team hopes to leave with good data!" Charles Barkley answered with a smile. He thought clearly about Carmelo Anthony's care.

The Mavericks unexpectedly took the initiative, extending their lead to five points with 7:20 left in the first quarter.

The home fans didn't expect the Mavericks to have an advantage against the Nuggets at the beginning of the back-to-back situation. For a while, the cheers of the entire route center arena completely broke out.

Seeing the momentum of the Mavericks, George Cole had no choice but to choose a timeout. All his arrangements for the first quarter before the game failed.

"Cameron, I think you need a break!"

The biggest culprit is naturally Carmelo Anthony. His various singles have stagnated the Nuggets' offensive tactics, but his singles success rate is not high, only 7 of 2 shots.

George Karl replaced him at this time, apparently with extreme patience. Carmelo Anthony moved his mouth but finally said nothing. His performance so far is really not good, and now he has no confidence to say anything. He chose to shut up and headed for the bench.
