NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

But Wembanyama didn't explain much next, just stretched out his hand to pick up the tape from Chang Tiancheng's TV and stuffed it into the player, and honestly sat next to Chang Tiancheng and watched the game footage of other teams after the start of the game with Chang Tiancheng.

What Chang didn't know was that his conversation with Wembanyama today would change the rest of his Spurs career.

Two more days have passed, and the Spurs have ushered in a new game, and Chang Tiancheng and Wembanyama have finally finished their rotation and can play.

This time, the Spurs will take on the Denver Nuggets on the road.

The Nuggets have very terrifying outside firepower, but the most feared thing is the absolute core of their team, two-time MVP Nikola Jokic. The Serbian centre-forward has completely changed the definition of a centre-forward and developed a new path for centre-forwards.

The plane had just landed in Denver, and Chang Tiancheng felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he had never been exposed to the highland environment before. Thinking of playing in such an environment often, Chang Tianchen couldn't help but admire the players of the Nuggets.

In the evening, the match between the two teams officially began, and after the introduction, both teams fielded their own starters.

The Spurs have continued their favorite starting lineup for the first three games, and if nothing else, this lineup should be used at least for the playoffs.

Wembanyama stood on the halfway line, ready to jump the ball with Jokic of the opposing team. He's full of energy and he's going to give it his all to deal with the two-time MVP.

Jokic didn't even mean to jump after seeing the referee throw the ball into the air, which made Wembanyama easily win the ball for the Spurs, but there was always a feeling of smashing a punch on cotton.

Chang Tiancheng took advantage of the situation to make a high block with Wembanyama, and then returned the ball to Wembanyama.

In the face of Murray's defense, Wembanyama made a decisive three-point shot, and with the blessing of the god of point guards, the ball went into the basket.

3:0, the Spurs showed a good game as soon as they came up.

But the Nuggets, for their part, were completely unaffected by this, and they remained steadfast in their offensive rhythm.

Murray handed the ball to Jokic after halftime.

The starting five of the Nuggets, except for Gordon, whose role is to act as a caulk on the defensive end, the other four have good independent offensive ability.

Porter Jr. has grown into a reliable outside point of possession in recent years, and Murray, not to mention, no one dares to underestimate the shooting guard in the playoffs last season.

But the core reason that can support the Nuggets to put together so many attackers in the starting lineup is Jokic.

In addition to Jokic's own offensive efficiency, what is even more commendable is that he will play the role of a conning tower on the court. This also allows the Nuggets to rest assured that the task of combing the offense is placed on Jokic, so as to free up their offensive power on the guard line.

Jokic was close to the three-point line with his back to the ball to watch his teammates' movements, and Drummond's defense was very cautious, and he pressed his body tightly against Jokic, not wanting to give the opponent too much space.

But after the Nuggets have been honed in the past few seasons, it can be said that they are already familiar with the team's tactics.

Murray quickly used Porter Jr.'s cover to get around the three-point line, and Jokic made a direct hand-to-hand pass to assist Murray for a three-pointer.

3:3, the Nuggets' offensive state is also hot.

In fact, when Chang Tiancheng watched the video with Wembanyama before, he had specially popularized

the Nuggets' offense for him: "Victor, there were so many teams in the NBA last season that wanted to win by limiting the Nuggets' offense, but do you know what they

found in the end?" Wembanyama thought for a while and replied: "I found that in fact, no team can limit the Nuggets' offense?"

“Bingo。 Chang Tiancheng snapped his fingers, "The fact is that if you want to beat the Nuggets, the most reliable way is to come up with more ferocious offensive firepower than them."

"Doesn't that sound like a hard job?" Wembanyama said, "Aren't there so many teams in the NBA that are known for their offense?" "

But the Nuggets are different, simply put, they rarely score less than 120 points per game. Chang Tiancheng continued, "In other words, if you want to win against the Nuggets, you must score at least 120 points or more."

Thinking of what Chang Tiancheng said that day, Wembanyama suddenly realized that what the team needed most at this time was to ensure the hit rate of the shot. Otherwise, as long as his shot is a little more casual, he is likely to be taken away by the Nuggets' offensive wave.

So, he continued to come to the three-point line to block and pick up with Chang Tiancheng in the high post, and after receiving Chang Tiancheng's pass, he did not continue to choose to shoot three points, but steadily used his height advantage to start playing Murray with his back.

At the moment of attracting Gordon's pinch, Wembanyama directly combined the ball and completed a turnaround and back-to-back jumper, which hit it steadily.

On the way to retreat, Wembanyama said to Chang Tiancheng: "Chang, why didn't you remind me before I shot a three-pointer just now?" Chang Tiancheng was confused by Wembanyama's

question: "... What should I warn you?"

"Of course, I should not shoot a three-pointer. Wembanyama explained, "I actually know that my three-point shooting percentage is not high, and if we want to win against the Nuggets, don't we have to make sure that we attack in the most efficient way of scoring?"

"Victor..." What's more, I believe in your three-point shooting ability. In

the middle of the conversation between the two, the Nuggets had already attacked. Wembanyama didn't have time to respond to Chang Tiancheng and hurried back to the penalty area to stand up for his defensive position.

Murray made a series of fancy dribbles against Chang Tiancheng, bypassed Gordon's cover and broke through to the Spurs' interior, and then landed on the ground with his front foot, directly shook off Sochan's defense with a step-back step, and made another mid-range shot.

When it came to the Spurs' round, Chang Tiancheng also cooperated with Drummond to block and dismantle, and hit his first three-pointer of the game before Jokic had time to pounce.

Judging from the beginning, the offensive firepower of the two sides is basically at the same level, and no one can open the score difference for a while.
