Chapter 587: War king

Immediately after getting off the bus, the Nuggets players encountered a "siege" by Kings fans.
"Oh oh oh! The loser is here!"
"You will lose today without your panties!"
"Our Kings are number one!"
This is not the first time a Nuggets player has encountered such enthusiastic home team fans. Everyone followed Li Nan all the way away from the crowd and went inside.
The Nuggets players are very confident and will definitely win this game today.
In the dressing room, everyone is very relaxed.
"Hey~ It's our fault to play too well? The whole league is targeting us."
"The more they are like this, the more they are afraid of us. Later, we will surely blow their ass."
"No matter who the opponent is, we can definitely win, after all we are the defending champions!"
Li Nan actually feels that with the current state of the Nuggets, any team can play.
He doesn't think this is arrogance, but self-confidence.
With 9 consecutive victories, they have the highest record in the league. Everyone is in a very hot state. Of course, they have the confidence to defeat all opponents.
...
Beep beep!
The game started soon.
The Kings start:
Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja Stojakovic, Chris Weber, Villaty Divac
Nuggets starting:
Chauncey Billups, Li Nan, Richard Hamilton, Wang Dazhi, Ben Wallace
Today's referee is the most impartial old referee Dick Bavita.
Beep!
A whistle sounded and the game started.
As soon as they came up, the Kings scored a three-pointer by Peja and took the lead.
On the Nuggets' side, Billups dribbled the ball over, pulled up his hand when Bibby didn't react, and responded with a three-pointer.
Weber and Divac cooperated in the inside pass and passed 3 times in a row, fainting both Wang Dazhi and Ben Wallace. In the end, Webber completed a dunk.
Li Nan cooperated with Wang Dazhi's pick-and-roll, Li Nan returned the ball to Wang Dazhi, and Wang Dazhi broke up with the knife.
Doug Christie cut off Billups Hamilton's pass, the Kings counterattacked like a tide, Mike Bibby assisted Peja for a layup, but Li Nan, who was returned to the defense, slapped and slapped. Big hat!
Billups won the basketball, the Nuggets counterattack! Billups passed to Li Nan, who was following up in the middle, and Li Nan passed to Hamilton in front of him. Hamilton pushed the ball directly into the sky. Li Nan jumped up and slammed a dunk into the basket.
...
At the beginning, you came and I met on both sides, not giving way to each other, an offensive battle, the fight was very hot.
The Kings averaged 108.6 points per game this season, the best offensive ability in the league, while the Nuggets averaged 106.4 points per game, third in the league, second only to the Mavericks with 107.5 points.
The firepower on both sides is very fierce, so that fans watching this game today are feasting their eyes.
Looking at the fierce competition between the two sides, some people found that the play styles of the two sides are somewhat similar, but it seems that they are not the same thing.
The old horseman in the commentary booth also came out at this time.
"Many viewers may think that the tactics on both sides are somewhat similar, but they are not.
The game of the Kings is the game of the Princeton system, and the big center should organize the overall situation. Both Chris and Verratti are very good passers. While these two big men are involved in the interior, they can also use their height and vision to create opportunities for their teammates. The rest of the Kings need to constantly make interspersed runs and cuts. Run back to get an offensive opportunity.
But the Nuggets play differently. The Nuggets are a dynamic offensive theory of moving the ball. They can pass the ball on the whole team, and the whole team is constantly changing positions, screens, and running positions, all of which are constantly going on. Through passing and running and bombing, create open opportunities.
Everyone looks like it is because the Nuggets also have a big passer Wang. His passing is no worse than Chris and Veratti. "
No, Wang Dazhi on the court showed off.
Wang Dazhi, who received a pass from Hamilton on the flanks, passed the ball from behind without looking at people, and gave it to Li Nan, who had slipped the baseline.
Li Nan succeeded with a backhand.
Before he could celebrate, Li Nan hurried back.
What the Kings like most is chasing back.
Sure enough, the Kings will serve soon.
Mike Bibby pushed forward quickly and scored for Christie, who then passed back Bibby.
Bibby saw the Nuggets retreat relatively quickly, so he waited for a while, as if to wait for Divac and Webber.
However, at this time, Bibby suddenly kicked off Billups.
Li Nan made it up, and Bibby immediately made a point.
Peja in the bottom corner has a chance!
Billups wanted Peja to pounce, but he was still slow.
Peja kicked off from outside the three-point line.
Whoosh!
This was his second three-pointer in the first quarter.
The Nuggets' shooting percentage is good, and the Kings' shooting percentage is equally amazing. Neither side can guard anyone, or the defenses on both sides are too lax today.
At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 64-63.
This is a battle against each other.
However, in the second half, there was a sudden change in style.
It was the change that the Kings actively sought.
The two players on the field are between the two sides, and the offenses on both sides are very fierce. The Kings feel that this will not work. After all, the Nuggets are younger than the Kings~EbookFREE.me~ They are worried that they will be unable to withstand the second half.
Then, they started to slow down in the second half, started to improve the defense, and started to move.
The Kings tried to cut off the contact between Li Nan and his teammates, allowing the other four Nuggets to fight against Li Nan.
Sure enough, it worked.
As soon as the third quarter came up, the Kings played a wave of 8-2, and the Nuggets only scored a mid-range shot by Li Nan.
The Nuggets quickly requested a timeout.
D'Antoni’s arrangement is simple: give the ball to Lee!
After the timeout, Li Nan directly used his personal ability to score a few consecutive goals.
I thought that the opponent would shift the defensive focus to himself, double-teaming himself or something, but the Kings didn't do that. They just adopted a defense that cuts off contact.
Li Nan scored several times and wanted to pass a good ball to his teammates and lead them to the state. However, the Kings defender is standing between him and his teammates, cutting off the connection.
The effect of sudden points was not good, and several passes were almost intercepted.
In the end, Li Nan chose to attack personally.
Li Nan's personal offensive state is really good.
Facing Doug Christie, the league's top small defensive man, Li Nan easily shot in and out and finished scoring.
One against the entire team of the Kings.
Looking around, he was about to wipe out the Kings' lead.
At this time, an accident suddenly occurred on the court.
In an attack, Li Nan faced Christie's defense and used the sideways double-direction technique to directly sway Christie, who was struggling to defend him, to sit on the floor.
Breaking into the post, Li Nan made a snake-like breakthrough, passed Weber, and jumped for a layup.
At this time, Li Nan didn't see it, and someone behind him rushed over.
