Magic's Howard and Denver's Camby stand in the center circle fighting for the ball.
Edison looked at the two people and said to Thibodeau next to him, "You don't think these two people are particularly similar."
"Well, the figures are indeed very similar."
"Camby is the unlucky version of Howard in my mind."
"How do you say this?"
"Camby is not very tall, but he has long arms, amazing upper body strength, jumps high, and moves his feet very quickly. These are exactly the advantages of Howard, but Howard's muscles are stronger. Between the two of them,
The disadvantages are the same. They all belong to the inability to face players who are taller, stronger and heavier than themselves. Their legs are too thin, ensuring speed but not strength. In fact, Howard is a replica of Camby, but he has more strength.
Some. But Camby was so unlucky that he caught up with the center in the final period of his glory. With his body, facing Ewing and David Robinson, who are powerful and capable of post-up singles, he was doomed.
Tragedy. When these old guys retired, the league introduced the defensive three seconds, and the mobile center began to usher in spring. He caught up with injuries again. Although he recovered from the injury, he had been deprived of a certain explosive power and no longer had it.
He is as explosive as ever. Do you think he is an unlucky version of Howard?"
Thibodeau smacked his lips after hearing this, and thought about it carefully, "It's really what you said."
If you compare the jumping height alone, Camby is not worse than Howard, but as mentioned just now, Camby's explosive power is not good because of his knee injury. The most critical attribute of a jump ball is explosive power, which is not higher than jumping high, but
Jump fast.
Howard easily hit the ball to Nash.
After Nash caught the ball, without any pause, he pushed forward with both hands and smoothly sent the basketball to the Nuggets' three-point line.
"Hacker" Marion got into position early. He didn't even need to adjust after receiving the ball. He took three steps directly and succeeded in a layup. 2-0, the Magic took the lead.
"Sure enough, as I expected, the Nuggets' defensive enthusiasm is really a problem. They actually let the Magic get an empty basket at the beginning. I don't know if they trust Camby too much and think he can definitely win the jump ball or for some other reason.
Marion has already taken off, and the Nuggets only have Andre Miller coming to the basket alone, but can you point to Andre Miller as a defender to block Marion, who is more than 10 centimeters taller than him?"
Steve Kerr pointed at the Nuggets' defense from the beginning.
Although Steve Kerr in the commentary box was dissatisfied with the Nuggets' defensive enthusiasm, Nuggets coach Bzdelik was used to it.
In fact, this Buzdelik should also thank Edison. Historically, when the Nuggets came to Martin, the entire city's expectations were raised to an all-time high. But Bzdelik couldn't hold back and never found a way to integrate Martin and Anthony. , as a result, the Nuggets' record after the start of the game was disastrous. On December 30, get out of class was sadly dismissed.
But now that Martin is not here, the Nuggets are still continuing the style of play from last season, and everyone is cooperating more skillfully. Without Martin, Anthony has become a well-deserved core of the team, and now the Nuggets' record is very good.
After Nene's baseline pass, the Nuggets' Andre Miller dribbled the ball forward, and after halftime, handed the ball to Anthony, the boss on the wing.
Carmelo Anthony is my favorite player. Really, I feel both regretful and irritated that he has not been able to achieve the achievements he expected.
Anthony's talent is definitely top-notch, the kind that is seen only once in 20 years. Of course, there is still a certain gap compared with James, but it is not big, just a thin line.
But his basketball skills are definitely better than James. You know, as soon as Anthony entered the league, he immediately became recognized as the player with the most comprehensive offensive skills. Breakthroughs, shooting, dunks, slam dunks, post-ups, three-pointers, everything.
No, as long as you can name the basketball finishing skills, he can do it. In terms of scoring ability, Anthony is better than James. Of course, some people will definitely refute it. They will say that James has won the scoring title, but Anthony has not...
But let’s compare Anthony when he was in the Nuggets with James when he was in the Cavaliers. James played more minutes in each game than Anthony, and he still took more shots than Anthony. The most important thing is that when he was in the Cavaliers, James was all-rounder.
The core of the team, he likes to ask for the ball when nothing happens, and then organizes the offense with the ball. And to be honest, I think his ability to organize offense is quite average.
Organizing an offense is not just about being able to pass the ball out, but also passing it to the right person. The most straightforward way to put it is - your passing must be able to be converted into assists. In other words, you must pass the ball to the most effective moment.
People who are sure to score, such as players who appear in the open space under the basket, and shooters who run out of the open space. The word shooter is very important. In the past, the Cavaliers often saw James passing the ball to Varejao who was pulling to the outside, although he did
It's open and unguarded, but it means nothing, and the scary thing is that sometimes Varacho catches the ball and shoots.
Moreover, Carmelo Anthony's basic skills are much more solid than James's. At least I rarely see him running to the basket in 4 steps. I'm talking about running to the basket, not the kind of dominating jump.
Anthony's biggest problem is that he is not focused enough on the game, not only on defense but also on offense. Anthony is very lazy in running positions on offense. You rarely see Melo being asked to run as frequently as Kobe or James. He is always
Just asking for the ball near his waist, if the opponent is very defensive, he rarely accelerates suddenly to get rid of the opponent. Instead, he just stays there and attacks with his super strength and many methods.
For the Magic, Marion was guarding Anthony. He pushed Anthony's waist from behind and pushed him outward. But Marion's efforts had no effect. Anthony has one of the biggest butts in the league. As for the role of the big butt, I have already mentioned it before.
pass.
Anthony began to sit back little by little with his butt, and soon Marion couldn't resist anymore and lost his balance.
Anthony, on the other hand, took advantage of Marion's time to adjust his body balance, quickly turned around, cut inside, and laid up, 2-2.
Iguodala looked at Marion who looked helpless, and then looked at Buckner in front of him, and he felt so happy in his heart, "You also have today, I am finally free today."
Turn around and attack with magic.
When Nash received the baseline ball sent to him by Howard, as soon as he got the ball, Nash felt that the whole world was different. Nash felt that time began to slow down in an instant, just like one-eighth of the computer slowing down. Nash
I feel like I am Superman, the master of this world. I seem to be able to clearly feel the joy of every atomic molecule in the air, feel them vibrating up and down with the sound waves emitted by people, and can even more clearly hear the head coach Edison on the sidelines.
He shouted, "Grandson, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and attack."
Okay, Nash pulled his thoughts back from unrealistic fantasies and returned to the game.
As I said before, the Nuggets' offense has no problems and is very good, but their defense is very bad. The main problem is that the defensive IQ is insufficient. No one in the entire team except Camby can accurately judge the ball path when defending.
, including Anthony.
Many people say that if Anthony is serious about defense, his defense will be top-notch, but in fact this is not the case. McGrady will be the top defensive swingman in the league if he is serious about defense, and if Anthony is serious about defense, then
It's just that he is very powerful in one-on-one defense in the low post. After all, where his body is, most players playing small forward can't squeeze or hit him. But if he is guarding the perimeter, he will not be able to do it. He can easily eat the opponent.
In fact, this is something I have always wondered about. Anthony's fake moves are very good, especially his shoulder fakes. It is said that his fake moves are so good, he must have studied them carefully, how can he be so easily fooled?
What about others cheating? By the way, these are things that you are tired of playing...
And even if he didn't take fake moves, his defense against breakthroughs was not good. He couldn't identify the opponent's forward line and didn't know how to force the opponent into a corner or surrounded by his own teammates. He just stupidly blocked the offensive player and the basket.
.This shows that when he is defending, he has no clear mind and no overall view. This level of defense is quite low. As for rotation to assist defense, I think that is asking a bit too much.
Facing the Nuggets' level of defense, Nene didn't know where he should stand during a simple pick-and-roll. Then Buckner rushed over to block Nash, leaving Iguodala free on the baseline.
Nash has no chance or space. He can rely on his passing to guide his teammates into space. What's more, there are problems with the opponent's defense now.
Iguodala took a decisive shot after receiving the ball from outside the three-point line. The arc of the ball was not high and the speed was very fast. It bounced on the rim and fell into the net.
As Iguodala ran back, Edison high-fived him.
Although the Magic's offense is very easy and smooth, the Nuggets' offense is also very powerful. Nuggets' point guard Andre Miller is a very capable player. Although his personal scoring ability is average, he only scores about 13 points per game.
Similar to Nash. But Nash has the ability to average 20 points per game, but he doesn't score. He prefers to pass the ball to help his teammates score.
Although Andre Miller's scoring ability is not outstanding, as a point guard, he has a strong view of the overall situation, is not selfish and reckless, is good at controlling the rhythm, has extremely solid passing skills, and can organize the team in an orderly manner, even in 01~
In the 2002 season, he knocked Jason Kidd off the assist leader's throne at the time.
It can be said that if Andre Miller puts his defensive energy and talent into offense, he will be another Nash.
Therefore, the two teams played an inseparable game in the first quarter. The Magic was relaxed and freehand, like a horse flying freely, and like an antelope hanging its horns without leaving a trace; while the Nuggets played solid floor ball, no dunks, no alley-oops.
, but usually shows real skill.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 26-26.
