It is very common and understandable to use some small moves or unconventional moves to restrict opponents on the court.
After all, the NBA is a jungle world where the law of the jungle prevails.
As long as it doesn't violate the rules, it can be used.
However, the premise of all this is not to hurt anyone!
Especially hurting someone intentionally!
You can make your opponent uncomfortable, you can deliberately anger your opponent, you can even bribe your opponent's players and obtain your opponent's tactical arrangements.
As long as you can do it.
Although it is despicable to use such a clumsy way to win, as long as you win, there will always be people who will follow you.
After all, this is a world where the winner takes all.
Only the winner has the right to speak.
For example, winning the hurdles championship is like this!
No matter what despicable means they used, they finally won the game and won the championship. As a result, they were regarded as gods by a bunch of people and praised to the sky!
However, hurting others is different!
The NBA is a business. For professional players, hurting others means ruining their jobs!
Cutting off someone's money is like killing your parents!
Therefore, George Karl’s behavior has exceeded the bottom line!
You know, Curry's biggest hidden danger is injuries.
It was precisely because of too many injuries that Curry missed many games.
George Karl obviously planned this for a long time and did it deliberately.
Fortunately, there was Iguodala back then!
Curry’s patron saint!
Deng Fang always held a grudge about this incident.
Now that I have traveled back in time, of course I cannot show mercy when I meet George Karl!
I want to win you!
We must win openly and honestly!
Not only do you want to win, you also want to win big!
Otherwise, how can you vent your anger?
Of course, Deng Fang could not tell reporters these things.
The reporters were a little curious, but at this point they couldn't ask any more questions.
If you don’t like it, you just don’t like it. Does it have to be a reason?
But these are not important. As long as there are contradictions, there is something to watch and something to write about.
This is enough!
…
The system gave Deng Fang 2 ability points in this game, which is not bad.
Deng Fang already has 14 ability points!
The games against the Nuggets were back-to-back, and the Warriors flew to Denver overnight after the game.
Denver is located on the Colorado Plateau. The Pepsi Center, home of the Nuggets, has an altitude of 1,606 meters, making it the highest altitude arena in the NBA.
This also makes the Pepsi Center Arena the No. 1 Devil’s home stadium in the NBA.
No way, this is a geographical advantage!
Generally speaking, slight changes in height have little impact on people.
However, normal people will feel a lack of endurance when moving from flat land to highlands at an altitude of about 1500-1700 meters.
The average altitude of Denver is about 1,610 meters. NBA players who come to Denver to play away games will always experience symptoms such as weakness and chest tightness to a certain extent, and their competitive status will decline significantly, which will give the Nuggets an opportunity.
Iguodala once said: "Here, I feel a little out of breath. In the first minute or two of the game, you have to adjust your breathing to let yourself breathe normally. My feeling is, man, I have already
I can’t breathe anymore.”
Muscular man Andre Iguodala said this, and other people's feelings are naturally not much better.
Phil Jackson also ranked Denver as one of his least favorite road games.
However, because they have lived in Denver for a long time, the Nuggets players have adapted to Denver's altitude sickness, and they are not even opposed to higher places.
NBA games are very fierce and the intensity of confrontation is very high.
Without a certain amount of physical strength to support you, no matter how good your technique is, it will be useless.
At 8 pm on December 1, the game between the Warriors and the Nuggets begins.
The Warriors' starting five remain unchanged.
The Nuggets' starting five are headed by Melo Anthony, and the other four are Billups, Nene, Kenyon Martin, and Afflalo.
I have to say that the Nuggets' lineup is still very strong.
Melo Anthony is 2.03 meters tall, 25 years old, and has a reputation as an offensive kaleidoscope.
Melo is a true genius on the offensive end. He is familiar with all the skills of putting the ball into the basket, especially his ball feel, which is historical level.
He can perfectly read defenses and keenly detect loopholes in defensive players. He entered maturity earlier than his two friends James and Wade. He once claimed that he could beat James one-on-one.
This is also the reason why Anthony was able to overpower Wade and Bosh was selected at No. 3 in the 2003 golden generation.
If you look at scoring ability alone, Anthony is indeed better than James.
However, Anthony's passing vision is average, and as a leader, it is difficult to connect the whole team.
So the arrival of Billups is of great help to him!
Billups was traded to the Nuggets last season and is 33 years old this year.
Billups' most glorious moment was in the 2003-04 season, when he won the championship with the Pistons and also won the FMVP trophy.
However, because the Pistons are a civilian team and their scoring is very scattered, Billups is also known as the most grassroots FMVP in history.
Billups is 1.91 meters tall, the same as Curry.
Billups' open three-pointers are very accurate. Because of his strong body and rich experience, he is also good at drawing fouls.
Nene is 2.11 meters tall. He is a brutal center with full strength and strong finishing ability at the basket.
Kenyon Martin was the No. 1 pick in 2000. He had strong running and jumping ability and a very entertaining dunk. He reached his peak very early. In his second year after entering the league, he reached the finals as a main force.
Afflalo is very young, the youngest among the starters, only 24 years old. His defense is very good and his three-pointers are also good.
The Nuggets' starting lineup is very strong. Billups, the shortest, is 1.91 meters tall. He is ferocious inside, precise outside, and has great running and jumping abilities. He is very difficult to guard.
It is for this reason that the 2009 Nuggets ranked high in the league on offense.
However, this Nuggets team's defense is average.
The first is their leader Melo Anthony.
On the offensive end, Anthony can burst and shoot. He has comprehensive skills and is very difficult to guard, but his performance on the defensive end is just average.
Anthony's physical condition is quite good, he has strength, speed, and height. Logically speaking, his defense should not be bad.
The fact is that Anthony's defensive habits are very bad. He rarely works hard on the defensive end and is too lazy to do the dirty work.
Due to his good physical condition, Anthony is not particularly bad at defending the ball-handler, especially when he is serious and the opponent is not too fast.
But once he defends a player who moves without the ball, Anthony can't do it.
There is no way, Anthony has always been regarded as an offensive arrow and the boss since college, and rarely does dirty work like bending over.
There is also the issue of his character.
The reason why Anthony is called "Melon" is that one reason is that his name is homophonic, and the other reason is that he likes to laugh.
"I always smile," Anthony said. "Even when I'm in a bad mood, I try to keep a smile on my face all the time."
When we meet such people in life, we often like them because they are easy to get along with, loyal and put their friends first.
But if you bring this kind of character to the basketball court, the result will be different!
