Last season it was the eighth best team in the Western Conference.
What?
The eighth one dares to be called a strong team. Do you have a gift?
You said eighth with 50 wins?
That's okay. It turns out to be the eighth in the involution. If you look at it this way, it is indeed a strong team. If you put it in the Eastern Conference, it will be a top four team.
November 1, Pepsi Center Arena.
Night falls.
The game is about to begin.
During the warm-up, Kobe talked to Allen Iverson and Anthony, the two golden guns, about a few cents.
There was something strange on Su Bei's face. It didn't mean that Iverson didn't deserve to chat for a few cents, but that Iverson shouldn't be here at all.
Is it the butterfly effect?
If the explanation doesn't make sense, it seems that you can blame it on butterflies. Who asked them to flap their wings?
In a previous life, to use James' words, the Nuggets team should have been broken up.
In the 07/08 season, the Nuggets, which had won 50 games, met the Lakers, but they were beaten badly. They were swept by the Lakers and had their heads shaved. Then, Iverson should have replaced Billups for the right start.
Way.
Now tell me, Iverson is still here?
Well, you said that this is Iverson's farewell game. After this game, he will bid farewell to Pepsi Cola Arena.
Oh haha, in this case I won’t be sleepy.
Although the Nuggets were beaten badly, I don't know if the management's words are good or not, but they are talented.
In order to sell season tickets, Iverson was kept for a few more games. This was to act like a fan. He was trying to trick fans into going to the stadium to watch the game. He was really using all possible means.
No problem, in 2008, during the economic crisis, he was not shabby even though he was making money!
As for the results? They were flat.
Isn’t it true that Camby, the golden generation of 1996, was sent to the Clippers?
At this time, the @ lineup for tonight's match was displayed on the big screen in the arena.
Lakers @ five people, Bynum, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Mike Breen and Marv Albert as commentary partners.
"Carter, Iverson, Anthony...
The Nuggets' tactics are still undefended, with two players in the backcourt, one at 1.85 meters and the other at 1.83 meters. The speed and rhythm can be improved, and the Nuggets' running and gunning and offensive basketball can take off.
However, playing the Lakers without defense and walking on one foot is not easy even if they have two top 10 scorers in the league, Iverson and Anthony.
In terms of offensive firepower, after four years of running the triangle offense, the Lakers dare to be ranked second, but no team dares to be ranked first.
In other words, the Nuggets’ tactics picked the wrong opponent.”
"Indeed, it's no wonder that this game will be Iverson's farewell game with the Nuggets.
The two-gun team formed by him and Anthony really has great offensive firepower.
However, the two of them came together to win the championship, but you said goodbye to them cruelly. The Nuggets in the golden double-gun era still couldn't get past the first round.
In the 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons, whether it was against the Spurs or the Lakers, the Nuggets lost, and the loss was without any suspense.
In the past two years, I have only won one game in the playoffs, and no one can accept it..."
One is young and invincible, and the other is in his thirties. Iverson has no choice and cannot change his style of play. He can only continue to drift.
The era of the four major shooting guards has come to an end, and Kobe is no longer worthy of being called one of the four major shooting guards.
Beep——!
Bynum defeated Nene and scored the first offense for the Lakers.
"Fisher passed the ball to Kobe.
Gasol and Bynum moved and changed positions, Su Bei received the ball, and while Fisher was cutting through the air, Gasol received the ball, screened, and passed the ball, and Fisher attacked the Nuggets' backdoor..."
Bang-dang——!
Fisher's entire body hangs from the southeast corner.
To provide you with the fastest update of "I Really Just Want to Be a Role Player" that the master and the poor monk will not miss.!
To be fair, the Lakers' offense was too safe in this offensive round.
With the Nuggets' IQ... no, defense, the Lakers don't have to play that complicated at all.
After Gasol and Bynum move and change positions, Kobe can hang inside.
Or, Kobe can hold the ball and challenge Iverson's natural loss of 183.
"However, the Lakers actually play a team game, which is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
By fighting for duels and lineups, the Lakers could crush them, but as a result, the Lakers still did not choose to take it easy, but stood at a higher level and gave the Nuggets a high-dimensional blow. What can you do to defeat them?"
It should be said that you can't stand it.
In fact, the Nuggets: Preliminary left, come out to ensure food, wrong left will be beaten.
It would be nice to come back offensively.
"The Nuggets attack, Anthony Carter brings the ball to the frontcourt and passes the ball to Anthony.
The status of the Nuggets is revealed, and Anthony is still the leader, enjoying unlimited offensive ball rights.
Jiangsu North defends, and Fisher comes to help defend. The inside shrinks to block the penalty area. This is a positional battle. Are the Nuggets here to make fun of it?
There is not even a stable three-point shooting spot. How do you fight against the Lakers' shrinking zone defense?"
After playing the triple-threat pose twice, Anthony gave Iverson a lot of face and passed the ball to Iverson to attack.
I have to say, this is very structured.
Outside the court, the fans applauded and cheered, showing great support for Anthony's choice, showing the big boss's mind.
There is a saying, when Iverson was not about to leave, Anthony would never give up the ball. Now that Iverson is about to leave, you are opening up the situation? Is it too late?
Iverson didn't care, since this was not the team he loved, it didn't matter.
"Iverson started, broke through to the left, Kobe was passed, Kobe got up, Iverson went to the basket, was flanked, had no chance to attack, and the basketball was thrown..."
Swish——!
2 to 2!
He singled out the Lakers' entire defense and scored a goal. Iverson's face was calm. At this moment, he was a killer with no emotion.
At this moment, Iverson was still pretending.
It seems to be saying that he is leaving not because his offense is not good, but because the team and tactics are not good.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.
There, Iverson could score at any moment, even if the best player in the league was standing in front of him, he would always kill him without fail.
Kobe's face was not cold, he did not turn into a god of death, and he had a bright smile on his face.
Without the defeat in the 2007/08 season, Kobe did not have to become a revenge prince, and he could enjoy basketball more.
Compared with Iverson, who has always been a killer, he has grown into a true leader and his temperament has been sublimated.
"Kobe catches the ball, is he going to compete with Iverson?
After the triple threat posture, Kobe rushed in and pressed against Iverson's body, as if he was in no one's land.
Kenyon Martin rushed over, and the basketball in Kobe's hand had already flown away.
Gasol jumped up, caught the basketball in the air, and threw it into the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
In the alley-oop, Gasol's body also hung from the southeast corner.
4 to 2!
"Kobe still only has the desire to win in his eyes, but he no longer only has points in his eyes, he no longer only has himself in his eyes, and he has actively integrated into the Lakers team.
Kobe's game is more structured."
"In the past, Kobe was very egotistical. He was dissatisfied with his status, ball rights, and management. He thought his teammates were all CBA teammates and that others were dogs. He was just a human being... He was a bully on the court and the team's boss.
manager.
Now all kinds of dissatisfactions have turned into what he likes.
Therefore, you can’t be satisfied while playing basketball, you have to engage in events.
It has to be an incident on the court, not an incident off the court."
Kobe has been causing incidents, and Iverson has also been causing incidents.
The difference is that Iverson was messing around off the court, while Kobe was messing around on the court.
It has to be said that the talent gap between the two is visible to the naked eye. Kobe's talent is not as good as Iverson's.
How many are there in life?
To provide you with the fastest update of "I Really Just Want to Be a Role Player" that the master and the poor monk will not miss.!
One spent 10 years focusing on the court, the other 10 years off the court, and it took three more years for Kobe to achieve transcendence.
Going a step further, back to the court, the Nuggets attack.
Su Bei was taken care of. Anthony turned his back, arched his butt, turned and took a step forward. When Su Bei followed up, Anthony turned around again in the other direction, and Su Bei's defense was lost.
"Anthony turned his back, turned and went to the basket, faced the defense, and shot the same shot..."
4 to 4!
At Anthony's level, it's useless in terms of defensive level and strength.
Whether the defense is good or not has nothing to do with whether Anthony scores points.
Don't ask, it's unreasonable to ask.
Superstars only talk about status, not reason.
Subei had no choice but to work harder on offense.
You can't resist other talents. You just don't have enough talent and work hard to get it.
"Kobe still didn't play, so he passed the ball to Su Bei, and Fisher and Su Bei played an outside screen.
Anthony Carter was blocked. Fisher received the pass from Su Bei and broke through with the ball. Anthony could only switch defense.
Fisher passed the ball to Gasol who was pulled out. The moment he caught the ball, he immediately distributed the ball to Su Bei who returned to the outside.
1.99m versus 1.85m, Su Bei Yangshou made a three-point jumper..."
Anthony Carter could only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it right, Su Bei's three-point strike, but there was no reward.
"I missed a three-pointer and the basket flew out.
The battle for rebounds belonged to the Lakers, and Gasol grabbed the rebound.
The advantage inside lies with the Lakers. Gasol continues to pass the basketball to Su Bei, which is too much.
The three-point tactics we played were a bit frustrating.
Su Bei didn't hesitate. In front of him stood a 1.85-meter defensive force. If he didn't fight now, when would he wait?
It's Su Bei catching the ball again, and Blind Ji Ba's three-pointer..."
Anthony Carter continued to show off and stretched out his hands.
This is not his fault.
Iverson did it too.
If he comes to defend him, even if he loses 183 days, he will be pulled out.
Moreover, the Nuggets don't care about defense.
Swish——!
The sword is raised and dropped, Su Bei is not used to them.
When it comes to scoring, there is nothing that one shot can't solve. If it can't be solved, then try the second time.
The advantage of rebounding lies with me.
Taking multiple shots is also an effort.
7 to 4!
Next, the gap between the two sides' lineups is visible to the naked eye.
The Nuggets are a playoff-level team, and the Lakers are a championship-level team.
The Nuggets have a lot of flaws, and there are a lot of them, while the Lakers have fewer and fewer flaws.
"The Lakers continue to play a smooth triangle offense.
Every player's movements, screens, shots...coordinated in a smooth manner.
That kind of rhythm is very exciting and pleasing to the eye.
This is picturesque basketball."
"The Nuggets' basketball is like a swarm of bees, rushing up in a mess and scurrying around the honeycomb.
The individual performances of the stars are indeed impressive sometimes, but comparison is harmful. Compared with the smooth team basketball of the Lakers, the Nuggets' style of play is really ugly."
After the first quarter, the score was 31 to 33, and the Lakers took a 2-point lead.
"Do you think this is possible? The Lakers' defensive intensity has not been shown.
Maybe, I guess, maybe it's because they're afraid of getting injured. It's probably a little bit difficult for the Lakers to show 100% of their strength during the regular season.
After all, playing basketball at this level, the Lakers feel that their offense is enough, and there is really no need for a tough defense.
Unless you really can’t help it.”
In the second quarter of the game, Jackson worked as an undercover again.
Let Bynum, who is in his contract year, lead the team. At the same time, Ariza, who is in his contract year, Bynum, Vujacic and Farmar, who are playing as the sixth man, will play.
For the Nuggets, Iverson has a farewell game and there is no reason to rest, not anyway.
To provide you with the fastest update of "I Really Just Want to Be a Role Player" that the master and the poor monk will not miss.!
I know how to be a Nuggets player, so if I don’t use it, I won’t use it in vain.
Kenba Martin didn't take a break either.
The rotation includes J.R. Smith, Juwan Howard and Linas Kleiza.
"The Nuggets' rotation is full of offensive players.
This is a bayonet attack, an undefended strike.
Let's see what kind of scene can be created..."
At the start of the second quarter, the Lakers' rotation was obviously in poor condition.
The smooth triangle attack disappeared, and the scene turned into a chaotic battle.
This is the Nuggets' favorite rhythm.
"The Nuggets' home court advantage began to show, and the Lakers players had opportunities, but they didn't work, and the blacksmith show appeared one after another.
The Nuggets' offense is full of firepower..."
In terms of lineup, I have the advantage, but with a veteran like Jackson, it’s not unusual for me to be unable to withstand the Nuggets.
On the scene, the Lakers appeared passive, and Jackson never made adjustments, but let the players adjust on the court.
In this case, you will most likely be beaten.
This is also the reason why the Lakers don't panic in big scenes.
Usually, Jackson is always there to cheat and create opportunities for Lakers players to practice.
When something happens, it's no longer a problem.
You can say this is Jackson's "long-term plan," but sometimes it really sucks.
It is not an injustice to say that he only knows how to sleep. He can afford this injustice.
At the end of the second quarter, the score was 31 to 23, and the Lakers' rotation was repaired.
At the end of the first half, the score was 62 to 56. The Lakers were 6 points behind and entered the locker room to rest.
After resting for 15 minutes, he returned to the second half of the game.
The main lineup of the Lakers went out to chase points, however, the Lakers have yet to make an effort.
The Nuggets fell.
For those who didn’t know, they thought they were being tricked.
Iverson is different. With his character, he naturally does not want to have a so-called tender farewell battle.
Damn it to say goodbye, damn it to please Anthony's fans, if you have this time, you might as well have a crazy party and celebrate joining a new team and a new city with his brothers.
The Nuggets management obviously overestimated their dignity and gave Iverson a farewell game.
This is simply business.
Iverson obviously had a falling out with Anthony, but he forced Iverson to stay for a few games just to make money. Isn't this tricking fans into buying season tickets or something?
People are clear-sighted and not blind, but if it is for the sake of the team's performance, they will not waste time thinking that it is a landlord fight!
If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead their teammates.
Anthony's condition was also very average. In the third quarter, he was blocked by Su Bei and made 1 of 4 shots.
The Lakers still focus on me, playing my own basketball and chasing points leisurely.
In the third quarter, 32 to 24, they recovered 8 points and took the lead by 2 points.
In the fourth quarter, the game was still completely suppressed.
Last season, the Nuggets' morale was dampened by the Lakers. Once the game entered the hard mode, the Nuggets didn't know how to play and frequently forced kills, trying to change their fate by relying on the individual strength of their stars.
The Lakers stood on a higher floor, quietly watching the struggling Nuggets. If they looked up slightly, they immediately suppressed them. What do you do to win?
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 115 to 107, the Lakers had an 8-point advantage and defeated the Nuggets.
Anthony made 5 of 15 shots and scored 13 points and 6 assists.
Iverson made 3 of 8 shots and scored 13 points and added 7 assists.
Both Golden Spears scored 13 points, plus 13 assists. The game was not unfairly lost.
Kobe made 11 of 24 shots and scored 33 points and 5 assists. His performance was even better than the golden double shot.
Gasol made 7 of 14 shots and scored 16 points and 16 rebounds, with a clear rebound advantage.
Su Bei made 5 of 9 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 13 points... No, the 13-point output was quite acceptable, and the same has been true recently.
Don't ask, just ask as a role player
