On May 3, local time in the United States, with the Denver Nuggets defeating the Suns in two consecutive games, the Nuggets rewritten the big score to 4                                                                                                        �

This means that the Nuggets will compete with the defending champion Timberwolves in the semi-finals, and the first match between the two sides will officially start on May 5.

The Nuggets can eliminate the Suns at the bottom of the first round, in addition to the outstanding performance of the star "Little Melon" Anthony, the Nuggets can also benefit from the stable performance of other players.

At first glance, this Nuggets seems to have no stars. No other players except Cameron Anthony cannot reach the level of stardom.

But the Nuggets, led by George Carl, also have many stable players such as Andre Miller, Nehbar, Nene, Marcus Camby, and Blake.

Especially Andre Miller and Nene, these two people are simply synonymous with old dogs.

Whether the team loses or wins, the two can always hand over a good personal data.

As for center Marcus Camby, although he is a data brush, his defensive efficiency is far less outstanding than people see.

However, Camby's outstanding height and wingspan can still cause trouble for the players who break through.

This season, Marcus Cambi averaged 3.3 blocks per game and ranked first in the league. This is also the second consecutive year that Cambi has been elected as the league's blocking champion.

If the Timberwolves hadn't had the amazing defensive efficiency, Cambie would have fooled everyone this season to win the dpoy.

As for why he deceived everyone, because Marcus Camby is a perfect data brush. Typical defensive data looks good for defensive efficiency, which gives people a visual illusion that defense is excellent.

The normal historical trajectory Marcus Cambi won the best defensive player this season, and as time goes by, Marcus Cambi was rated as the most popular DPOY in NBA history.

A set of data can prove how bad Marcus Camby's real defense is. This season, the Nuggets ranked eighth in the league block list and are a team in the upper reaches of the league.

However, the Denver Nuggets' defensive efficiency ranks fourth from the bottom in the league, averaging 104 points per game is only a little higher than the Warriors, Wizards and Bucks, pure offensive teams.

Judging from the data, it is not difficult to find that although Marcus Camby's blocking data is very luxurious, it has made very little defensive contributions to the team.

In many defensive rounds, Marcus Camby deliberately puts the opponent's players in in order to get the block data, and then uses gambling methods to send out the block, which is somewhat similar to the "Big Whiteside" Whiteside in the later Heat.

Camby does not give defensive pressure at all on the defensive end, let alone frequent physical confrontations.

In order to get blocks, Marcus Camby was crazy. If it weren't for the Nuggets' offensive and defensive operation per game, head coach George Carl would have kicked Marcus Camby into the trash can.

Because Marcus Camby, who is two meters tall, not only is the defensive efficiency not as outstanding as people see, but even the offensive efficiency is outrageously low.

Marcus Camby's shooting percentage in the first round of the playoffs was only 37.8%, the lowest among all players over 2.08 meters tall in the playoffs.

The Nuggets' inside player Ken Yang Martin was reimbursed in the season after only three games. Martin's season reimbursement greatly reduced the Nuggets' pretty good inside depth.

At the same time, it also forced head coach George Carl to use Marcus Cambi more. After all, except for Marcus Cambi and Nene, the performance of other inside players is hard to describe.

In the first round of the playoffs, George Carl used only seven regular rotations, among which Anthony and Nehbar played more than 40 minutes.

Anthony even reached a terrifying 44 minutes, with an average of only about three minutes of rest per game.

In fact, the Nuggets' lineup depth this season is pretty good, but George Carl does not trust newcomers who have not proved themselves yet.

Even JR, who can contribute 13 points per game in the regular season, has less than 12 minutes of playing time.

It is worth mentioning that JR? Smith did struggle a bit in the playoffs. After six games, JR? Smith's shooting percentage was only 26.3%, while his three-point shooting percentage was 0%.

That's right, jr? Smith didn't make a single shot even though he averaged more than three-pointers per game.

The 0-point shooting percentage of 18 in the first round of the playoffs not only made George Carl's face turn black, but even JR Smith himself looked helpless.

Fortunately, the stable performance of other Nuggets players helped the team win this series, otherwise JR Smith would definitely be criticized by fans to be depressed.

In sharp contrast, the star Cameron Anthony is the star.

Anthony still shot 48% efficient shooting percentage while being targeted by the Suns' defense, and also had a 50% three-point shooting percentage while averaging 3.6 three-point shooting percentage.

This offensive efficiency is much higher than Anthony's regular season. His average number of 27 points and 9 rebounds in the first round made Anthony's reputation explode, and he vaguely became the leader of the Zero-31 generation.

After all, Anthony not only performed well in the first round of the playoffs, but Anthony ranked third in the league in the regular season, second only to Iverson and Kobe, and is one of the most powerful players in the league in scoring.

When he learned that he would face the Denver Nuggets in the semi-finals, the coaching staff led by Luke immediately made a plan to fight against the Nuggets.

The two teams had three regular season matches, and the Timberwolves won two of them.

From the lineup, there are many points in the two teams that will form a redeem.

Payton vs Andre Miller, Iverson vs Nehbar, Anthony vs Gerald Wallace, Nene vs Artest, and the last two blue-collar centers Marcus Camby vs Ben Wallace.

Among them, Marcus Camby and Ben Wallace are also contenders to the best defensive player this year.

However, because the Timberwolves' defensive efficiency is too high, Marcus Camby is destined to be Ben Wallace's opponent.

At that time, many industry experts were unfair about Marcus Camby's defeat, believing that Camby, who averaged 3.3 blocks per game, would actually lose to DPOY. This was really absurd and ironic.

Faced with this kind of brain-breaking and inducing war, Luke was too lazy to respond positively.

It's a mule or a horse that can tell you it's a bit. Although Marcus Camby's data is much better than Ben Wallace, the real defensive efficiency of the two is very different.

Ben Wallace is a player who can truly improve the team's defense by relying on his own, while Marcus Camby is a player who can only work hard against the blocking king in any team.
