The Nuggets are offensive, and the Nuggets have not made much adjustments on the offensive end.

In fact, the Nuggets have always played this way this season, so even if they enter the playoffs, George Carl does not need to make too many changes.

Because sometimes random changes will cause the team's efficiency to decline. After all, targeted tactics are not as good as the players' habits.

This season, the Nuggets did not play singles on offensive ends alone in the horn position.

Most of the time, Billups is in charge of the offense, and then try to achieve the effect of playing team basketball at multiple points.

Usually, only when there is no way out on the offensive end will the team hand over the ball to Anthony to use his personal ability to play singles.

Otherwise, Anthony's singles will always be at the back, and Billups will be the former attack.

Yang Fan obviously had arrangements for this situation before the game. Although there are no players in the Thunder with defensive loopholes, the defensive ability of all the players is not very outstanding.

So after the opening, Yang Fan chose to defend a small-scale two-three joint defense, mainly defending the Nuggets' inside offense, and then intentionally or unintentionally relaxing his vigilance on the outside.

After all, although the Nuggets this season have a balance between offense and defense, the only one who starts is good at attacking is actually Anthony. Even Billups focuses on organization and defense.

As for the inside double towers, in most cases, secondary rebounds and feeding cakes are required to score.

In this case, Yang Fan chose to defend a small-scale two-three joint defense, with the main purpose being to resolutely prevent the Nuggets from playing smooth team attacks.

Then at the same time, if Anthony wants to play singles at the middle distance between both sides, he can also complete double-teams as soon as possible with the Thunder's excellent movement ability.

It can be said that under this situation, Yang Fan's purpose is already very obvious, which is to firmly cut off the connection between the Nuggets and then, while not relaxing his vigilance against Anthony, he is more to force Billups to complete the end.

Although Billups' shooting percentage on the outside is not too low, if you relax your offensive vigilance against Billups compared with the smooth attacks of Anthony and the entire Nuggets, you will undoubtedly minimize the Thunder's losses.

Throughout the first quarter, with Yang Fan's targeted defensive arrangements, the Nuggets were unable to play smooth offenses like the regular season on the offensive end.

On the contrary, the two stars Billups and Anthony were more involved in personal singles, and the entire double towers could only compete for rebounds, and their presence on the offensive end was minimized.

So in this case, the Nuggets' offense in the first quarter seemed a bit single, and the offensive efficiency was even lower than that of unbearable to look at it.

However, compared with this, the Thunder are not much better. Due to the Nuggets' excellent defensive efficiency, the Thunder can obtain very few open shots on the offensive end.

In this case, both sides have to compete for the personal abilities between the stars, and most of the time, they make some forced moves when the 24 seconds are approaching.

Looking at the situation on the field at this time, although Thunder did not fall into a disadvantage, he did not take advantage at the same time. Yang Fan couldn't help but frown together.

Because Yang Fan discovered that he underestimated the Nuggets' defensive efficiency. Even if the Thunder were already scattered enough on the offensive end, and with a scoundrel like Hamilton, the Thunder did not get much advantage.

I have to say that this year's Nuggets really deserve the evaluation of offense and defense balance.

As Yang Fan and George Carl rotated the lineups on the court one after another, after the end of the first quarter, the two teams played a constipation battle that people never expected.

What people didn't expect was that in this entire quarter of constipation battle, the Thunder team, who ended up playing away, actually:

18:17

One point ahead of the Nuggets and ended the first quarter between the two sides.

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitute lineup to compete.

There is no need to say much about the depth of the substitute of the Thunder this season. With the "Martial Saint" Jackson, Jeff Green and others in charge, this lineup can even defeat a weak team's starting lineup.

The Nuggets' lineup depth this season is also not weak, among which JR Smith can average 15.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game this season.

If nothing unexpected happens, this year's general season sixth man award will be selected among JR Smith, Jeff Green and Odom of the Lakers.

After all, these three people have performed very well this season, and they even have the personal strength to play in the starting lineup.

It was just because of the team's overall strategy that they had to shine on the bench.

In addition, in addition to JR Smith, the Nuggets also have Lithuanian forward Kreza who can contribute 9.9 points and 4.1 rebounds per game on the bench.

And the "Birdman" Anderson, who has been baptized by the CBA in the Great Heaven, and the positions of these three people include guards, forwards and insiders, which can be said to be very competitive.

Even if it weren't for the Thunder's forcibly emerging this season, the Nuggets could definitely be said to be one of the teams with the most profound lineup in the league.

It’s just a pity that with the joining of "Martial Saint" Jackson, the Thunder’s offensive firepower in the second team is too strong.

"Martial Saint" Jackson is a former star of the Warriors, and Jeff Green, who has a very good chance to win the best sixth man, these two people alone are enough to make the Nuggets feel a headache.

As Jackson and the Thunder became more and more tacit, Yang Fan has now completely handed over the firing rights of the second team to Jackson. After all, he is very worthy of this decision.

In the second quarter, the offensive battles between the two sides on the court were much more beautiful than the first quarter, especially the competition between JR Smith and Jackson on the court made the home fans feel excited.

Jr? Smith and Jackson both have the kind of slutty personality and are very strong on the field.

So when these two people began to compete with all their firepower, the viewing level on the field naturally began to rise sharply.

At least the defensive strength of the second lineup is much worse than the first lineup of both sides, so at this time both sides will appear very smooth on the offensive end, and it looks even more brave than the starting lineup.

Seeing the Nuggets JR Smith not at all in the personal battle with Jackson, even after throwing two three-pointers in a row, Yang Fan, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help swallowing a wave of saliva.

It is no exaggeration to say that before this round of series starts, the person who made Yang Fan feel the most headache was not Carmelo Anthony, nor Billups, but JR Smith on the bench.

Because no matter how rich Anthony's offensive methods are, Yang Fan is not helpless.

But in comparison, JR Smith's point is too restless, and he can be said to be an unstable factor on the court.

No one knows what his feel will be in this game. If his feel is not good, then Yang Fan doesn't need to worry about him at all.

But if his feel is better, it will be even more cruel than Jordan!!

So when Yang Fan saw JR Smith throwing three points in a row in this game, he felt his butt getting hot. Fuck, I couldn't sit still at all!!

Fortunately, "Martial Saint" Jackson did not disappoint him either. Under JR Smith's personal offensive, Jackson also counterattacked in the next offensive round.

Although it doesn't seem as cruel as JR Smith, it was not taken by the Nuggets to break the score in one fell swoop.

As time went by on the court, Yang Fan and George Carl gradually began to get the main players back.

However, there is one thing that the two are surprisingly consistent, that is, they continue to keep JR Smith and Jackson on the court. After all, the feel of the two in this game is too hot.

Even the final trend of this game may have nothing to do with Durant and Anthony, but more to the hands of Jackson and JR Smith.

In the end, in the second quarter, under the fairy battle between JR Smith and "Martial Saint" Jackson, the Nuggets took the following:

46:42
Chapter completed!
