The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 325 False Best Defensive Player!Sharpest Spear 2.0!

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Warriors also won their 20th victory of the season.

20 wins and 8 losses.

According to this winning percentage, they are very likely to move towards the "small goal" of 60 wins.

Of course, the season is long, and few teams can maintain good form consistently, and occasional ups and downs are normal.

But the Warriors are still full of confidence.

Because they know very well that when they were running in at the beginning of the season, the team lost some games that should not have been lost.

That's not the true strength of the Warriors.

Now, Marc Gasol has also returned from injury, and the Warriors are all healthy and have a neat lineup, eager to start another winning streak.

On December 12, the Warriors, who finally returned to their home court, defeated the Timberwolves 26:105.

Wolf King Jefferson's performance in this game was even more exaggerated. He grabbed 10 offensive rebounds, 20 points and 19 rebounds, and almost reached the double [-] achievement, but Dior, who was facing him, was exhausted. That's enough.

But in this scene, the real protagonist is Monta Ellis.

Monta started his offensive mode after his appearance in the second quarter. He made 21 of 13 shots and 10 of 9 free throws. He scored a season-high 35 points.

Under his leadership, the plus-minus value of the Warriors' substitute generals was even higher than that of the starters. Lowry also scored 7 assists, one more than Zhang Bolong.

This kind of performance has also made countless teams sigh. The depth of the Warriors' lineup is really enviable.

Two days later, the Warriors ushered in the Denver Nuggets led by the golden double guns.

The Nuggets have defied many expectations with an 8-3 start to the season.

Although Iverson and Anthony don't have much chemistry, it doesn't prevent them from being lethal scorers.

In the previous two games, they reversed and defeated the Rockets and the Kings by one point in unfavorable situations. It seems that luck is better than strength.

This season, the team with the most points per game in the league is the Warriors with 111.3 points.

And the second is the Nuggets' 110.8 points!
The Nuggets under George Karl also pursue the credo of offense first.

Even with their best defensive player, Marcus Camby.

In reality, Camby doesn't need to be on a down team, nor is his defense as good as "Defensive Player of the Year" would describe him.

On the contrary, the fast-paced game style and more rounds are more conducive to his block attempts.

This is why he is considered a parallel importer among the "Best Defensive Players".

That is, the defensive data is very good, but there is no substantial improvement to the team's defense.

In comparison, the Nuggets with the "Best Defensive Player" are not like the Warriors have a few good players who are good at defense.

This game is also regarded as the Warriors and the Suns last season, to see which team has a sharper offense and can destroy the opponent.

After the start of the game, the away Nuggets began to attack frantically under the command of "Answer".

He first swung Bell away with a superficial change of direction, and made a layup with the small tie bar in the small plus front block.

Then he made a precise hit with an emergency stop.

Not long after, he sent a pass for Camby after attracting double-teams, assisting the latter to score an alley-oop.

This series of operations is like dreaming back to six years ago.

He's still the all-powerful Allen Iverson.

The Warriors tried to chase points under the leadership of Zhang Bolong.

Zhang Bolong first hit a long-range three-pointer to help the home fans warm up, and then assisted Dior to become the "Time Lord" and used the time difference to beat Martin a 2+1.

The starting lineups of the two sides come and go, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. Soon it will be time for the second team to debut.

Surprisingly, when the two sides came off the bench, it was the Nuggets who were in better shape today.

The nerve knife JR Smith was the first to get out of the sheath, and he scored two three-pointers and scored two three-pointers.

Nene, who is "a bold man with one testicle", also made a layup under the basket.

The two teamed up to contribute an 8:2 attack wave, helping the Nuggets to slightly open the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led by seven points at 39:32.

Such a score also fully proves the offensive capabilities of the two teams.

In the second quarter, the scoring partner formed by Zhang Bolong and Ellis began to confront the golden guns.

Ellis' breakthrough was like a sharp knife, and his hit was more or less like an "answer", and the three-pointer was also accurate to a certain extent after hard training.

But it is not difficult for opponents to target a magic ball player like him.

Anyway, it's either a three-pointer or a breakthrough. If the outside line can't be locked, it can be blocked by the inside line.

Unlike him, Iverson's emergency stop mid-range shot after changing direction is also at a historical level.

Only such an offense without dead ends can become a truly unsolvable offensive player.

Otherwise, just relying on speed, agility, and technology, it would not be able to make the opponent fearful.

Because of this, Ellis's attack method is still relatively simple.

Although the spinning top after the breakthrough is equally exciting, Iverson is more difficult to defend than him. Every loophole in the defensive moment may be caught and used by AI.

Iverson and Ellis played against each other, while Anthony and Jackson fought fiercely.

"Gua Ge" has always been unafraid of confrontation.

Even Kobe's tough defense with all his strength couldn't completely stop Anthony's determination to score.

Although Captain Jack defended well, he had no way to deal with the hot Melon.

It's CIC, it's going in.

Anthony's jump shot is extremely silky, with a kind of elegant beauty that is different from Kobe's.

In the second quarter, he didn't miss any of his six shots, conquering the audience at Oracle Arena with his open performance.

Under the leadership of the two, the Nuggets once led by as much as 13 points.

But they couldn't keep up with Zhang Bolong.

The role of a team's star is here.

Opposing him was Chucky Atkins.

This gentleman has a classic saying, that is, when he played for the Lakers, he bluntly said "Kobe is the general manager"...

It is much earlier than what "Manager Zhan" said.

Although this guy is of average height, only about 180cm, but his scoring ability is very good, and he has scored in double figures for many seasons in his career.

When he was young, he was fast, accurate with the basket, and loved to shoot three-pointers, but as he grew older, Atkins' footsteps inevitably declined. He focused too much on the ball in defense and often gave up marking.

The opponent's point guards are able to attack with ease when facing him, and the players in the mid-range can play quasi-first-class statistics, let alone players like Zhang Bolong.

On the first ball, after a drag step, it is easy to shoot in the middle distance.

On the second ball, he broke through after a drag step, easily pushed Atkins away and hit the board with a high hit.

On the third ball, Atkins was tricked by a fake move and made two free throws for a foul.

With Zhang Bolong's ruthless ravages of Atkins, the Warriors will gradually narrow the gap.

At the end of halftime, the Warriors temporarily fell behind 66:71.
