Chapter 114: Nuggets Double Ellis

　　The Blazers' regular season first game was against the Denver Nuggets, and the next two games were also home to the Blazers.
　　After playing the Nuggets, the next two opponents are the Vancouver Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks!
　　The three teams were all lottery teams last season, and they are also the home ground of the Blazers, so the Blazers' opening schedule is relatively easy.
　　The first game to fight the Nuggets, Richard certainly does not want to lose, he wants to win this first game to make a good start for this season!
　　 "Lee, Nuggets' number one star McDyess, I think Big Ben should be able to parry!"
　　 "As long as it can limit the performance of McDyess, it will be difficult for the Nuggets to win!"
　　 Carlisle said with a smile.
　　 In the afternoon of the game day, Richard and the four Vajrasana assistants held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Nuggets.
　　Richard nodded. The Nuggets' lineup is really not good. In the first two seasons, they have Mutombo's inside defense in their team, making their inside defensive strength so scary...
　　 Uncle Mu averaged 4.5 blocks per game last season!
　　 The Nuggets may be trying their best to cultivate their top spot McDyess, who was traded with the Clippers last season, and they saw Uncle Mu's contract expired and did not renew...
　　Originally they were proud of the defensive strength of the inside, and fell by more than one grade.
　　 This led to the strength of the Nuggets, directly plummeted!
　　 Decline in inside defense, this is not the deadliest...
　　 Because power forward McDyess is the core of the team's absolute offensive and defensive, this leads to their slow rhythm...
　　 rebounding strength is also straight down, the outside defense that was not so strong is now a mess!
With the perspective of God, in fact, it was not necessarily a wise choice for the Nuggets to bring McDyess at first. It seems that McDyess is very powerful, but it is not as practical as leaving Uncle Mu, and then trading McDyess's chips to trade. Come a strong scorer in the backcourt!
　　 Even if it is only the scorer of Leder's level, not to mention how far the Nuggets can go in the playoffs, at least they can also make the playoffs.
　　 If Richard came to coach the Nuggets, he would definitely not trade McDyess, more likely to trade with the Toronto Raptors and get the seventh pick "Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudemire.
　　 In this case, it is not impossible to match a few reliable role players and enter the playoffs steadily or even into the second round of the playoffs!
　　All in all, this is a standard fish belly team, with all the tags that the fish belly team should have.
　　 For example, the defense is bad, the attacking rhythm is not good, except for a McDyess in the team, there are no players who can handle...
　　Playing such a team, if the two sides play normally, if they still cannot win, then Richard simply goes back to his hometown and sells sweet potatoes.
The reason why 　　 is said to be under normal play is because Richard can’t guarantee that the opponent will burst the seed...
　　Unexpectedly, with the defensive strength of the Blazers, it is not so easy for this fish-meat team to want to explode!

　　At eight o'clock in the evening, after the players on both sides warmed up, they returned to their locker rooms.
　　 Big Ben is already fighting, he hasn't played at all during the preseason stage, and now he finally has a chance to show his talents!
　　 "McDaisi gave it to me!" Omoto thumped his chest and said excitedly.
　　 "Ben, don't be beaten up, it will be ugly..." Rashid quipped.
　　 The relationship between the two is quite harmonious, and it has reached the point of casual jokes.
　　 "How is it possible? I'm afraid you don't believe this!" Big Ben gave Rashid a blank look.
　　 Rashid shrugged: "I really believe this..."
　　……
　　 "Okay, guys, we will be the first starting lineup in the next game, do our own defense on the field, and resolutely fight on the ground!"
　　 "We want to let our opponents fall into the rhythm of our positional battles, not to follow the rhythm of others!"
　　 "No matter what, stick to the position battle!"
　　Richard is still reminding the young players under him before the game.
　　 "Ben, remember, the things we learn are self-defense, but don't use it on the court!"
　　 "McDais, your opponent, has a good reputation last season, not the kind of insider who likes to play vicious moves..."
　　 "So, you are a little more relaxed in this game..."
　　Before entering the stage, Zhang Weiping explained a big book again. He was afraid that Big Ben would turn McElds on the court with various elbows. He was not good to explain to Richard...
　　 "Assistant Zhang, I'm not that kind of person, you can rest assured!" Big Ben nodded his head, the last time he gave a hand to the madman, that was the reason.
　　 The big book in history, although the defensive end can not be said to be white and flawless white lotus, but it can not be called an absolute villain!
　　Zhang Weiping nodded his head, and he was relieved if Daben said...
　　……
　　 "Beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the starting players from both sides began to appear.
　　 Nuggets starting lineup: center position is Elvin Johnson...
　　 has exactly the same name as a magician, but it does not have the strength of a magician. At best, it can only be regarded as a good blue-collar center...
　　Although the style is very similar to Uncle Mu~EbookFREE.me~ but the overall strength is compared to Uncle Mu, it is completely incomparable, it is almost the slum version of Uncle Mu......
Power forward is the Nuggets' core offensive and defensive McDyess. Last season was his rookie season. He averaged 13.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. For his status as a leader, it is not a particularly outstanding result. Single, can only be considered satisfactory.
　　 But this season, he was righted and became the absolute core of the team, I expect the data will definitely improve.
　　 The remaining three positions are Lafonso Ellis, Dale Ellis, and Mark Jackson!
　　 Trail Blazers have Double Wallace, Nuggets have Double Ellis...
　　 However, the strength of the Nuggets IELIS is really not very good, otherwise, it will not be unknown in the future, and there are very few fans who know it.
　　 Dale Ellis was extremely strong during the peak period. Before the 1990s, he was the head of the Seattle Supersonics. The strongest season has a super performance close to 28+5...
　　88-89 season, Dale ranked third in the scoring average, Jordan ranked first, postman Malone ranked second!
　　 One can imagine how powerful Dale's peak is!
　　 But it is a pity that his peak did not last long. It only ended after three seasons. When the time entered the nineties, he was already a crowd, and he could not find a sense of existence in the league...
　　 Another Lafonso-Ellis, there is nothing to say, strength is there, but the glassman attribute is too serious!
　　 If Grant Hill is a friable glass product, then Lafonso is glass flour that has been broken into slag...
