Because the NBA is a jungle world. When you meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. The competition is about who is more ruthless and who is more desperate!
If you want to win, especially more and bigger victories, you must be ruthless against your enemies and beat them to death!
Even if it is against yourself, you must be cruel!
On the offensive end, we keep training and improving, and on the defensive end, we have to work hard and do our best!
Jordan and Kobe are all like this!
Even James has very high self-discipline, is very self-disciplined in life, and works very hard in training.
To win, to win at all costs!
Is that true for Anthony?
no.
Anthony has been the team's top player during his time in the Nuggets, but can you say that he is the soul of the team like Duncan, Kobe, or even James, who can influence the team at all times?
The Nuggets have built countless lineups around Anthony, and have successively found Miller, who has never played in the Finals, Iverson, who has played in the Finals, and Billups, who has won a championship ring, to partner with him.
Under the care of these nannies one after another, Anthony grew into the league's top scorer and the king of key goals for a long time. But watching him play, you always feel that something is missing.
He doesn't have Duncan's stability and perseverance!
Kobe's manic paranoia, he doesn't have it!
James is desperate for victory, but neither is he!
He didn't seem to care about anything, he just came on the stage, contributed more than 20 or 30 points tepidly, occasionally broke out in a single game or even a single quarter, and then walked into the tunnel with a smile on his face and ended the day.
Anthony is just playing with his talent.
He plays ball more like he is at work.
On the field, if the coach wants to use this tactic, he can!
If you want to use that tactic, that's fine.
If your teammates can score, that’s great!
It doesn't matter if your teammates can't score.
Leading the team to win - "Hahahaha, I'm so embarrassed."
The team lost again and again - "Although it is sad, you must always keep smiling."
Anthony's desire to win on the court and his attitude on the defensive end made him a cancer step by step.
To put it bluntly, Anthony is a heartless child who has not grown up.
Although Billups is very powerful, calm and composed on the court, wise and courageous, and can protect Anthony with his decisive command, in the end, how far a team can go depends on the leader player!
If the team leader is not serious on defense and does not work hard, and does not care whether the team wins or loses, can you make the younger brothers work hard?
Therefore, as long as Melo is around, the Nuggets' defense will not be much better.
Except for Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets' two interior defenders are also not very good.
Nene's style of play is brutal. He is very brave on the offensive end, has plenty of strength, and has good jumping ability.
But he is similar to Anthony in that he moves slowly and is not willing to work hard on the defensive end. He does little defense, doesn't block many shots, and makes very few steals.
As an inside player and the last barrier to the team's defense, his performance will hardly help the team go further.
Same with Kenyon Martin.
Martin has outstanding jumping ability and is a good player in fast breaks. He has also reached his peak with assist master Kidd.
However, Martin's performance declined rapidly after leaving Kidd.
Players who rely on nature and physical fitness to play are generally not very good on the defensive end.
There is no other way, we can dance!
Why do you have to hunker down and defend?
After arriving in Denver, Martin had two knee surgeries due to injuries, which also reduced his athletic ability a lot.
Originally, Martin's defense was okay, but after the surgery, he struggled on the defensive end.
Especially small guys who can switch defense quickly.
Both of the Nuggets' big men have the same problem:
Do you dare to come in?
Then I will kill you!
Fake move? Going to break through?
Then I only have a foul!
Just grab it and save yourself the trouble!
If you get the ball, it's a steal. If you can't get it, it's a steal!
When a team's inside line plays in this way, it will be difficult to defend well!
Of course, the Nuggets' two-man outside defense is still good.
Billups' defense has always been very good, even when he switches to the second and third positions.
His only problem is that at 33 years old, he is a bit old, has plenty of experience, and is slow.
There is no other way, as people's legs get older first, and occasionally it would be difficult to chase one or two rows desperately and let him run all over the field for a whole game.
Afflalo is good at defense. He is 1.96 meters tall and has a willingness to defend. He is usually used to defend the opponent's arrow figures.
However, in the Nuggets' atmosphere of focusing more on offense than defense, Afflalo's willingness on the defensive end is slowly declining.
In the middle and later stages of his career, Afflalo became more involved in the offensive end, and his performance on the defensive end became increasingly mediocre.
In general, this Nuggets team has strong offensive firepower and a brave style. Coupled with the geographical advantage of the plateau home court, the scoring ability is very strong.
However, they invested very little on the defensive end and their discipline was very poor, especially when it came to defending small, fast players, which was a huge problem.
This is exactly what the warrior wants.
The Warriors' regular lineup is one big and four small, focusing on the outside. All five of them can shoot three-pointers, and the space on the court is very wide.
Especially Curry, he is simply the nemesis of slow big men!
how?
You won't come out?
Then I'm going to vote!
Why, you haven't come out yet?
Then I will kill you!
Why, it came out this time?
If you come out, I will kill you too!
We are quick!
What? You came out and you still dared to attack?
Then I'm going in!
Did you know that our shooting percentage at the basket is higher than any of your insiders?
What the Warriors like most is the Nuggets, who only attack and don't defend!
In terms of single offense, this Warriors is not afraid of any team!
This is also true, as soon as the game started, it entered into a battle of attacks.
The Nuggets' offense is smooth, and the Warriors have even more firepower!
If the Warriors play one big and four small, it will be difficult to really defend the Nuggets.
There is no way, the Nuggets have a size advantage in almost every position.
Even Nene is more ferocious than Lopez.
It is for this reason that Deng Fang did not defend in a routine manner. He chose to attack from a flank.
The Nuggets' outside perimeter is still very accurate, and Billups and Afflalo's three-pointers are both reliable.
However, Deng Fang pays more attention to the restricted area than the outside area.
As long as Melo gets the ball, the defense will be there.
As long as Anthony dribbles the ball, he will attack decisively.
Others can score, but you can't!
If your offense is strong, then you won’t be allowed to attack!
Your passing is average, so let me pass the ball!
It depends on your mood when you play. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to make you happy!
Close the door and let it go..., no, that's wrong, enter Lagabel!
This is what Lagaabel is best suited for!
As long as you have strong offensive ability and keep scoring points, Lagabel will look down on you!
Others can score, but you can't!
Because you are the one I am defending!
You score just because you don’t give me face!
Why do you kid act so powerful in front of me?
I'm going to kill you!
It makes me happy to see you deflated!
Who dares to touch anyone who dares to choke Kobe?
