Chapter Seventy-Three: The Eighth War

"Our defense today is mainly about Nuggets shooting, not guarding passes, especially Iverson and Anthony's passing routes, we have to keep them open." Dunleavy Sr. said in the locker room.

The players of the Clippers were confused when they listened to the coach's words, and the old Dunleavy layout seemed to be too esoteric to understand.

Old Dunleavy pretended to be incomprehensible and smiled: "These two people have never really been compatible, although they have no discord, but when you watch the video, don't you find that the two of them are letting them play?" ”

Ji Guoyi was the first to react, and said in a dark voice like old Dunleavy: "I know, Anthony must be afraid that people will say that he doesn't respect the old and love the young, so he forced himself to pass the ball to Iverson when he has the opportunity." But Iverson is also afraid that people will say that he is a lone wolf, and he has been controlling his own attacks**, and these two people are too modest and have the opposite effect. ”

Old Dunleavy felt that although this stinky boy said something ugly, the truth was indeed like this.

Ji Guoqiu secretly hurt, he found out that his coach and his younger brother are very similar in shameless Cheng DΓΉ, these two guys treat others as themselves, and they think that others are as shameless as them. In his opinion, there are many factors for the failure of the Nuggets' double guns, and all the teams in the West are at their peak this season, and there are no injuries, just look at their current record of only eighth place, you can see how fierce the competition is here.

In addition, the Nuggets are not as strong as outsiders think, and the interior is reimbursed, Kenyon Martin's athleticism declined after the big injury, Camby began to decline as he got older, and their strongest two guns are indeed incompatible, and they faced championship teams like the Spurs and Lakers in the playoffs, and a variety of factors combined made them eliminated in the first round for two consecutive years.

The elder Dunleavy finished arranging the tactics, looked at the time, and with 15 minutes left in the game, he waved his hand and ordered the Clippers players to play.

Before the start of an NBA game, when the home team's entrance ceremony is over, players from both sides will perform their individual pre-game rituals, such as LeBron James's magnesium powder sprinkles, Wade and Carter's pull-ups, all of which impress fans.

Ji Guoyi, such a sassy person, of course, will not let go of being handsome and cool in personal ceremonies. He relied on his physical excellence, and in his personal ceremony before the game, he would sprinkle a handful of magnesium powder in front of the technical table, and then take advantage of the white fog in the sky to perform a continuous backflip in front of the technical table to encourage the home fans. If he's lucky enough to see a pretty girl nearby, he'll flip a few more.

Some fans will think he is too sassy, in fact, this bastard stood on the technical table in the first game and did a backflip, directly from the one-meter-high technical table.

This action frightened the elder Dunleavy and threatened him on the spot not to let him play if he did this again in the future.

Can old Dunleavy not be afraid?

If this is not turned well, in case of head down, you can directly announce the reimbursement.

Ji Guoqiu and his younger brother Saobao have different personalities, and there is no appearance ceremony at all, he thinks it is too stupid.

Christine sat on the sidelines, and this morning Twilight was holding two courier packages, feeling very strange, why did one of them say Ji Guoqiu? One that says Ji Guosha?? What's even stranger is that there is a front-row ticket in it, which makes her scratch her head.

It wasn't until she saw the two brothers enter the scene that Christine suddenly understood, it turned out to be twin brothers?

"Wait, so was it my brother or my brother I met at the convenience store that day? Is it the older brother or the younger brother who crashed the car? ”

When Christine saw two identical twins, she was amused, but at the same time she had many doubts.

Ji Guoyan and Ji Guoqiu both saw Christine, the elder brother nodded slightly, but the younger brother blinked.

The live director followed the gaze of the two and gave Christine a short close-up, which lasted less than three seconds, which shows that this twilight girl is not famous at all at this time, if she hadn't seen that this girl was beautiful and sitting in the front row, she wouldn't even be able to get these three seconds of close-up.

Taylor Swift didn't go to the scene today, and the ticket spot given to her by Ji Guoyi is now empty.

The little singer is making a fool of his face, even if he wants to forgive that guy, he can't be so happy, and it will take a few days for the swelling to go down, not to mention the degassing?

Taylor Swift is at home at the moment, with a kettle in his hand and a white guitar on the couch, half-lying in front of the TV to watch the game.

The starting lineup for the Tunnels: Anthony Carter, Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin, Marcus Camby.

Clippers starting lineup: Blevin Knight, Mobley, Artest, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

Before the start of the game, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were already giving a brief introduction to the game in the ** live broadcast room.

Kenny Smith asked before the game: "We all know that the Denver Nuggets are the most offensive and impressive team in the league, but once they get into the playoffs they languished and don't look like they were in the regular season, so what can be done to make a difference for the team this season?" ”

Charles Barkley replied unhurriedly: "The Nuggets need to change their mindset, they have to defend regularly, and that's the most important thing in the playoffs. There's no denying they're good offensively, but they'll have to defend if they want to make a name for themselves in the playoffs. ”

"Yes, maybe there's no better offensive lineup in the league than the Denver Nuggets, but their defense is --- no chances, can they win a championship with offense and no defense at all?"

"No, no, it's absolutely impossible in the long run, whether it's in the preseason or the 82 games in the regular season, or in the playoffs, it's impossible for them not to defend, and they have to show their ability to play on the offensive side."

The old Dunleavy made adjustments to the starters today, and did not use the 201cm tall Posey to defend Iverson, but chose to use the 193cm tall Mobley to serve as the starter, the old cat's speed is faster and more agile, and it is more suitable to deal with Iverson than Posey. The latter is more suitable for dealing with players like Kobe and Maddy, and I am afraid that I will be very passive in the face of the short Iverson.

Last season, at the age of 33, Camby averaged 11 points, 11 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game, defeating Howard, Joe Smith and Marion as the best defensive player.

A pair of perverted arm spans, S-level co-defense ability, B-level single defense ability, super rebounding monster, three-time block king, this is Camby, Ji Guoqiu's opponent today.

"Made, this guy is not good at single defense, but he is good at helping to defend, and this is simply for me." Ji Guozhi was still complaining in his heart when his brother was jumping the ball.

Camby's bounce has dropped significantly, and his athleticism is now at most B-level, so he is no longer Ji Guoqiu's opponent on the jump ball, and the Clippers have their first offensive opportunity.

Brevine Knight dribbled forward, and Ji tried to run to the baseline to see if he could shake off the old champion who was said to be as fast as a defender. Kenyon Martin was reimbursed last season and after a major injury, how many percent of his fitness is up for debate.

Kenyon Martin is an experienced man, and when he saw that Ji Guoyi wanted to get rid of him, he immediately pushed it with his shoulder without making a trace. Don't look at this action is not big, but it makes Ji Guoshi feel a pain in the place, the speed can't be added up in the first time, naturally he can't get rid of the other party, and Martin's speed is not slow.

"Damn, this guy dares to me?"

Ji Guoyi came out without getting rid of Kenyon Martin, and the basketball was passed to Artest by Blavin.

Artest against Anthony, which is also a big attraction today.

Anthony is more serious on the defensive end today, and this game is also important for the Nuggets, and whoever loses will fall out of the top eight. This is no joke, if the two guns can't even get into the top eight, the media and fans will drown him.

Artest received the ball and leaned back, using his power to squeeze close to the three-second zone to shoot.

"Damn, this guy hasn't changed 230 pounds for 10,000 years, who are you fooling!"

Artest squeezed for a long time before he squeezed Anthony back two steps, seeing that it was going to be five seconds, he cursed in his heart and passed the ball to Ji Guoqiu, who was in a high position. After Artest passed the ball, he turned his head to look at Anthony, who was no smaller than him, and slandered in his heart, he weighed about 260 pounds, and the melon was fat, if he didn't have 250 pounds, he was the first to believe it, otherwise how could he resist him and James?

Ji Guoqiu faced Camby, the latter's long arm waved up and down, immediately reducing his passing route by more than half, and Mobley didn't dare to pass as soon as he cut in the bottom line, for fear of being broken by Camby's long arm.

Breven Knight came around and received the basketball with his hand, and saw that there was not much time left for the offense, so he could only use Ji Guoqiu's body to cover and throw a long-distance two-point next to him, and the basketball smashed out of the basket!

Kenyon Martin used his power to squeeze away Ji Guoyi under the basket and grab the rebound.

Old Dunleavy only saw the first round, and he knew that it was not good, Ji Guoqiu and Ji Guoyi did not take advantage, and even Artest looked very difficult in front of the melon, which was a big mistake!

The Clippers players retreated quickly, and although they didn't score, they were very confident defensively, and the Clippers won against opponents who were better than them in the past, and today was no exception.

Iverson himself dribbles and attacked, and in the Nuggets lineup, is the answer a point guard or a shooting guard? It's impossible to say, Iverson can change his position on the field at any time.
