king of defenders

Chapter 1523
There is not much time left in the first quarter, and both sides have sent a substitute lineup, but the Nets' bench lineup is obviously stronger than the Nuggets' bench lineup.

With Zhuang Shen and Harrell joining this season, Noel and Joseph Young became substitutes.

At this time, the Nets' lineup is Dinwiddie, LeVert, Carroll, Belica, and Noel.

Because this lineup is dominated by Dinwiddie and LeVert, both of whom are breakthrough players, they need to be paired with players who can shoot three-pointers from the outside without taking up the ball, and Belica is a comparison A suitable choice, his height has reached 208 cm, and he is an insider who can shoot three-pointers and open up space.

Compared with the Nets, the Nuggets obviously don't have many players on the bench who can get shots. There is a clear gap in the strength of the bench lineups of the two sides.

So soon the Nets had the upper hand.

The Nets have always had the upper hand before, playing against the Nuggets. With the performance of Zhuang Shen and Harrell's two insiders, the Nuggets have already led the opponent by 9 points.

With the excellent performance of Dinwiddie and others, the Nets continued to expand the point difference. By the end of the first quarter, the Nets had already led by 12 points.

Entering the second quarter, the Nets are still on the bench, but there have been some changes in the specific personnel. Joseph Young was sent to the court, and Jarrent Allen was also added.

Joseph Young's performance is not bad, but Jarrent Allen's performance is not satisfactory.

After all, he is still a young man, only 22 years old. The arrival of Zhuang Shen and Harrell made his status in the team and his playing time drop again. It is normal to feel depressed.

Coach Atkinson talked to Allen before, but now it seems that the effect is not good.But Coach Atkinson doesn't plan to take care of it.

Some things still need to be figured out by the players themselves.

Many players go through these tests.

Some people passed the test, became stronger, and finally saw the light when the clouds cleared up; but some people couldn't stand the inner torment, or just sank, lost everyone, or chose to leave for other teams seek opportunities.

In the final analysis, the NBA is a business league where the weak prey on the strong. If Allen is strong enough, he will not encounter these problems at all, so it can only be said that he is not strong enough.

Jarrant Allen did not perform well on the court. Not only did he not contribute much on the offensive end, he also made frequent mistakes on the defensive end, and even made low-level mistakes. The bottom line free throw was intercepted by the opponent and directly scored points.

The Nuggets seized this opportunity to quickly narrow the score, and quickly narrowed the point difference back to single digits.

Seeing this situation, Coach Atkinson couldn't help frowning, and replaced Allen and Zhuang Shen. In this way, the Nets' defense inside has improved somewhat, but Dinwiddie and LeVille are not Meng Yun after all. , Obviously they did not have the "Zhuangshen Instruction Manual", and they failed to play the role of Zhuangshen in the paint.

After playing for 2 minutes, Zhuang Shen was catching rebounds other than running back and forth on the field, and did not score.

"It seems that Drummond still has to play with Meng Yun." Coach Atkinson shook his head and checked the time. More than five minutes had passed in the second quarter, and it was almost time.

He called a timeout, replaced Dinwiddie and replaced Meng Yun.

After this substitution, the situation has obviously improved. Meng Yun's ability to contain the defense and his breakthrough ability are not comparable to Dinwiddie.

With Meng Yun on the field, Zhuang Shen can get more scoring opportunities, and Meng Yun can always pass the ball to Zhuang Shen just right.

What Zhuang Shen has to do is very simple, just put the ball into the basket, or simply dunk it directly into the basket.

The Nets regained the upper hand.

Then the two sides gradually replaced the main lineup.

Meng Yun still didn't make many shots. He was more organized to attack and pass the ball to his teammates, while the Nets mainly attacked inside.

After the first quarter, Zhuang Shen and Harrell are obviously more relaxed now, and they are playing more confidently.

In addition, Joe Harris's three-pointer sense is warming up, throwing a three-pointer from the outside from time to time, and Meng Yun also occasionally takes cold shots for the Nuggets, either taking advantage of the opponent's unprepared breakthrough layup, or facing the defense A person is a three-pointed blood seal throat.

For a while, the Nuggets were so beaten that they couldn't hold their heads up. The point difference between the two sides returned to more than ten points and continued to expand.

By the third quarter, the difference between the two sides had reached 18 points.

At this time, Anthony played a single, intending to score the goal, so that the difference between the two sides will break through the 20-point mark.It's a pity that the ball was not made, but Zhuang Shen got the rebound and gave it to the outside again. Anthony made another shot, but still missed.

Jokic stuck Zhuang Shen and didn't give him a chance to grab a rebound. If Zhuang Shen grabbed another rebound, he would really jump and scold his mother.

Zhuang Shen did not grab the rebound this time, but the Nuggets didn't grab it either, because Harrell suddenly rushed into the inside and jumped up, grabbed the rebound in front of Jokic, and then took off again. Kic scored the ball under the pull and caused Jokic to foul.

The ball ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, and they began to cheer and applaud Harrell.

Harrell himself was also very excited, beating his chest and screaming. The ball brought the difference between the two sides to 20 points, and Harrell had to stand on the free throw line.

"Shh!"

Harrell made an extra free throw, and the difference between the two sides became 21 points.

There is more than one quarter left in the game, with a 21-point difference, it can be said that the Nuggets have little hope of making a comeback.

The head coach of the Nuggets called a timeout, and made some new arrangements with a gloomy face. They did not intend to give up. After all, this was the opening game. King's first regular-season game.

No one wants to lose the first game of the regular season.

After this timeout, the Nuggets performed very well.

After Zhuang Shen and Harrell overwhelmed the inside and scored a lot of points, Jokic was also angry. He changed from his previous lazy appearance, and his offense was extraordinarily determined and tough.

Once he got serious, it was really not easy for Zhuang Shen and Harrell to guard him. Under the leadership of Jokic, the Nuggets played a small shock wave and narrowed the point difference to 15 points again.

However, the point difference did not continue to narrow, and the point difference between the two sides remained at more than ten points. Until the end of the third quarter, the Nets still led by 16 points.
