Chapter 459 The Twin Towers
Back at home, the Nuggets have a few more days to adjust.
The team also began to try different tactics, such as the twin towers, and the Nuggets wanted to try the twin towers in the game against the Warriors at home on the 13th.
When the Warriors play a small lineup, they do the opposite to see who can't stand it first.
Although it is not an official regular season, the Warriors' style of play is on the outside, which is perfect for testing tactics.
If you can play the Twin Towers, it's not a problem if you don't have so many outside shooters.
That's the problem of the inside substitute, but the Nuggets are just trying now, not to say that they will definitely play the twin towers in the new season, but Jokic can pass the ball, and they will definitely use some twin tower tactics in the game.
The Warriors are also a team that hasn't changed much in the summer, except that they lost David Lee's contract.
Because of this, they are still relatively favored by the outside world this season.
Facing the Nuggets, the Warriors also pay more attention to this preseason game, and the starting lineup is not bad.
The Nuggets adopted a new lineup, with Jokic starting at the fourth position, and Jeremy Lin, Middleton and Gallinari on the outside.
At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets' inside line was crushing.
Jokic standing in a high position can pick and roll the outside line, and can also smoothly catch the ball and pass the inside line. The Warriors' defense is in chaos.
The Nuggets hadn't played the Twin Towers before, but they still made a lot of attempts in training.
To be honest, they didn't adapt very well at first, and Jokic was a little confused standing on the court.
The key is that Xiang Chu is too good. If he can receive the ball smoothly inside, Bogut is just a display.
In addition, Gallinari slammed Barnes on the outside. He really has an advantage in height when he returns to the third position.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Warriors have not kept up on the offensive end, and both Curry and Thompson feel bad.
The pure hand feel is not good, because Jokic's defense is a little bit behind, and the Warriors in front have got a lot of outside opportunities, but they are all drunk in the starting lineup.
It's not an exaggeration to not score a goal. The occasional three-pointer is not enough for the Nuggets' offensive power.
Because it was facing the Warriors this time, the Nuggets' main lineup played more time.
Now everyone can see the level of the Nuggets in the new season. Middleton, Gallinari and Xiang Chu have opened up. It is estimated that many teams in the league will not be able to withstand it.
Although it is a preseason game, it can also be seen that the Nuggets are still at the level of the Western Conference.
Whether it can defend the title or not, some teams think that they can abuse the Nuggets casually in the new season, which is hopeless.
In fact, Xiang Chu is the top half of the team alone, with a dual core of offense and defense. With him, the other Nuggets players can say that it is much easier.
And the Warriors found that they were really desperate for rebounds.
The Twin Towers lineup is really cheating in this regard, and Jokic's rebounding is also very good.
The two big men stood inside, even if the Warriors wanted to use some blocking tactics, it would be difficult to start.
That is, there is a problem on the defensive end. Xiang Chu has also considered this aspect. The second magic skill he upgraded is the no-fly zone. He doesn't need to upgrade the back-up beast for the time being, so he didn't upgrade the body crushing skill.
[No Fly Zone II: This skill is an active skill at the superstar level, and the skill display area is expanded to one foot outside the three-second zone.The host's speed and bounce have partial effects on skills and can be upgraded. 】
[Upgrade conditions: use the skill 3 times in the official competition, the heat value is 4 points, the sprint speed of 3.10/100 games enters within [-] seconds, and the vertical bounce reaches [-]CM. 】
He is now hot enough to upgrade a magic skill again, and it is estimated that it will be about the same by the start of the regular season.
At that time, Xiang Chu will choose offensive or defensive skills according to the needs of the regular season team. However, at this stage, his offensive skills are sufficient for the time being, but defense can help the team more.
If you choose defensive skills, then it depends on whether to upgrade the rebounder or the defensive gate first.
It is also because there are too few strong insiders in the alliance now. If there are a few ruthless characters who can defend Xiang Chu alone, Xiang Chu will definitely choose to upgrade his offensive skills first.
For the Nuggets and Warriors, the main force went all out for half of the game, and the rest of the time was to inspect the players.
However, the Nuggets' defeat of the Warriors has explained a lot of problems.
Jokic has also received a lot of attention because of this. Could it be that the Nuggets got another good player and was also a second-round pick? The Nuggets' luck is too good.
For other teams, preseason victories are certainly nothing.
For the Nuggets, it is indeed a bit eye-catching. After the big change in the lineup, they will meet again in the Western Conference Finals. The Nuggets have shown a stronger inside line.
It is estimated that any team playing against the Nuggets this season must be prepared inside.
And they also have Nurkic. If Nurkic returns from injury, the Nuggets' inside line will be stronger.
Now the twin towers are no longer popular, but the Nuggets are not other teams, and the coaching staff of each team have begun to prepare countermeasures.
The Nuggets won the Warriors this time, but in fact it was mainly because the Splash Brothers didn't feel good.
There are still many problems with their twin towers, and how Jokic can play the fourth position is also a problem.
Jokic has a shot and can even pull beyond the three-point line. He is a good candidate to play high and low positions, but his speed is not very fast, and how to use his advantages still needs a lot of research.
He is still somewhat similar to Gasol in some aspects. Xiang Chu also recommended this buddy to watch Gasol’s game videos after training. Earlier technical insiders such as Sabonis, Divac, and Webber are also The object of reference.
Xiang Chu knows Gasol better, so he talked a lot about it with Jokic.
The two towers can only be formed if the two have different styles. Xiang Chu is the violent type, and Jokic must play the technical type.
However, in terms of confrontation, whether it is playing strength or playing technology in the league, it must be good.
Xiang Chu was worried that this buddy would not be able to sustain the long schedule. Nurkic was an example. Sometimes his body could not keep up, so Xiang Chu took Jokic to practice strength, which made the young man frown.
The Nuggets have seven preseason games scheduled, and they have played four games now. They will also let the main players play more time, and there are promising new aids.
In other words, the next opportunity will no longer be equal.
Players who have not seized the opportunity before must wait patiently if they want to get ahead again, and there will not be so many opportunities in the future. This is the stage that rookies and marginal players must go through.
Most players fade away and teams lose interest in them.
However, there are also some players who can improve themselves quickly, and then seize the few opportunities to play out.
Either way, the regular season is getting closer.
After a summer of operation, what is the strength of each team? Whether it is a mule or a horse, it will be pulled out for a while, but Xiang Chu is ready.
