NBA super small ball center

Sitting on the bench, Wang Lang chatted with Curry and Thompson while watching the Warriors' bench play against the Nuggets' bench.

The Warriors' bench lineup can be described as tall, with center Bogut, power forward Looney, small forward Speights, scoring guard Andreas Iguodala, and point guard Barbossa.

The Nuggets' bench lineup has become no longer strong because of the loss of Nurkic, which can only be said to be decent, but at home, the Nuggets' bench lineup still feels good, especially outside shooting.

Because of the tall size of the Warriors' roster, the Warriors' bench players were unable to play quick counterattacks, and could only continue to launch outside offense while defending inside.

Barbosa's breakthrough ability is very lined, and he also has a number of shots and layups to score, while Iguodala's outside defense effectively solves the problem of slow speed of the Warriors' interior players.

And in the case of the Nuggets' good outside hand, the two sides are evenly matched and do not give in to each other.

With six minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors and Nuggets made the main players.

The Warriors are still leading by 10 points at 40-30.

This kind of score also makes Wang Lang comfortable and can easily face the Nuggets.

The Nuggets attacked, and Moodier dribbled to the perimeter.

In the face of Ian Clark's defense, Moodier still forced a breakthrough and took advantage of his speed. Passed Ian Clark.

Wang Lang stayed near the penalty area and prevented Moodier from scoring a layup.

Jokic is also not outside the three-point line, standing on the inside to respond.

Moodier had no choice but to pass the ball to Jokic.

Jokic faced Wang Lang's defense with his back, and chose the way of inside singles, first dribbling sideways to increase the confrontation, and then suddenly turned around and wanted to rush into the basket for a layup.

Wang Lang's defensive prediction was very accurate, and he directly used his full-level strength to block Jokic out of the restricted area and could not have a chance to score a layup.

Jokic then opted for a pass to Gallinari, who had just played a pick-and-roll with Gary Harris.

At this time, it was Livingston who defended Gallinari.

Gallinari also made a smooth three-point shot and hit the basket.

The Warriors led by seven points at 40-33 and returned to within 10 points.

Nuggets fans cheered, and they saw the possibility of the Nuggets tying the score.

The Warriors attacked, and Wang Lang dribbled to the frontcourt to face Gallinari's close defense.

Wang Lang's ball control is also at the full level, and he is not worried about Gallinari breaking the ball at all.

At this moment, Green took the initiative to run over to block and dismantle Wang Lang.

Wang Lang also took advantage of the situation to step over, and with an acceleration broke through Gallinari's defense from the right side and rushed outside the penalty area.

Jokic hurriedly made up for it, raised his arms in front of Wang Lang, and prevented Wang Lang from shooting and scoring.

But Wang Lang used Curry's special skill of [fake fax shooting] at this time, pretending to pass to Green, and then shooting extremely quickly.

Jokic didn't judge Wang's true purpose. At the moment when he looked at Green, Wang Lang had already made a move, and Jokic had no time to interfere, so he could only watch the ball go into the basket.

The Warriors led by nine points at 42-33, and Wang Lang also scored 21 points, and it was only in the first half.

Wang Lang happily high-fived Green in celebration.

Green was also laughing: "That ball was awesome, I thought you were going to pass it to me." The

Nuggets didn't rest on their laurels, Moodier dribbled to the perimeter and passed the ball, and Jokic stood on the left side of the box to receive the ball.

Jokic didn't force an inside single this time, but saw the timing and passed the ball to Gallinari after Gallinari and Moodier blocked it.

Gallinari forced a three-point shot against Ian Clark, who was much less tall than him, and hit the basket again.

The Warriors were 42-36 and the margin was reduced to six points.

The situation has become delicate.

Nuggets fans are also constantly cheering on the team.

Wang Lang was unmoved, the Warriors attacked, Wang Lang dribbled to the frontcourt, and made a block with Green again.

This time, Wang Lang passed the ball to Green, and he ran directly outside the penalty area.

Standing there, Wang Lang chose to block and dismantle on the spot, giving Livingston a chance to shoot from mid-range.

Green also made a quick pass to Livingston, who took advantage of his height to shoot easily.

Gary Harris, who defended Livingston, was blocked by Wang Lang, and Jokic did not dare to leave the basket and could only accept the score.

The Warriors are 44-36 with an eight-point lead.

In the following round, both the Warriors and the Nuggets executed their own tactics, and the Nuggets created shooting opportunities for Gallinari again and again, and Gallinari did not fail in his mission. He made three three-pointers on 3-of-6 shooting and scored nine points.

On the Warriors' side, Wang Lang blocked the pass to Livingston near the penalty area, allowing Livingston to shoot in the middle range and would not face a strong defense.

Livingston scored 10 points on 5-of-5 shooting, Wang Lang also had 5 more assists, plus the previous 4, the number of assists came to 9, only one short of a double-double.

At the same time, Wang Lang himself also got a scoring opportunity, and it was a scoring opportunity after grabbing an offensive rebound, and he constantly turned on the spot to dunk or hook his hand to shoot and score.

As a result, Wang Lang added 7 offensive rebounds. He also scored 14 points.

On the Nuggets' side, in addition to Gallinari's good hand, Moodier also scored many shots, all in the middle range, scoring 12 points and shooting 6 of 7.

This is after the Nuggets used Jokic to stand on the inside to attract Wang Lang's defense, allowing Moodier to force through Ian Clark's defense again and again.

Clarke's defensive ability is insufficient, and he can't stop the opponent's scoring rhythm.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors still led by 10 points at 68-58, with a clear advantage.

Wang Lang also got a quasi-triple-double performance of 35 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists.

In the live broadcast room, O'Neal kept nodding and praising it: "Wang Lang's excellent play gave the Warriors a firm advantage, and the Nuggets' offense played well in the second quarter, using mid-range scoring." The tactical effect is obvious. But that didn't stop the Warriors from taking the lead, and like I said before, the Nuggets don't have much hope of winning.

Payton nodded: "The Nuggets have a very big problem with his interior defense, allowing Wang Lang to grab so many offensive rebounds and score so many baskets, Jokic's defense is really problematic."

"If in our day, Jokic's interior defense was so poor, I'm afraid the coach wouldn't have put him on the court.

O'Neal shook his head: "It's not that Jokic's defense is too bad, Jokic's defense does have problems, but it's not so bad, it's just that Wang Lang's rebounding ability is too strong, and he can grab so many offensive rebounds in front of Jokic."

Payton smiled: "Makes sense, but I think the Nuggets will have a hard time winning if they don't strengthen their defense." I'm the same as you think. "
