The Basketball Court Swordsman

When Antetokounmpo used a beautiful pass to assist Paul George into the penalty area to complete the layup, and formally equalized the score, Mike Malone called out angrily to stop the game.

And this is the second time the Nuggets have suspended this game.

Since Antetokounmpo's one-stop layup, the Pacers have completely reversed the situation. · They caught the Nuggets by surprise with several beautiful breakthroughs.

At that time, after watching the score were forced to close, Mike Malone called out the first timeout today. But the effect after the timeout was not good, the Pacers still used their vitality and beautiful breakthrough to equalize the score.

So now, Mike Malone called for the second time to stop the game. At this time, there were only 4 minutes left before the end of the first quarter.

"Defensively, we need to shrink the basket a little bit. Obviously, the Pacers do not have a very good shooting feel from the outside. So, they will definitely continue to increase the number of shots to the basket. At the basket, tell them who it is here. Site!"

Mike Malone was furious. He didn't expect the Pacers to adapt to the high altitude of Denver so quickly. I have to admit that they can become the greatest team in the second decade of the 21st century, not without reason.

On the other hand, Henson is finally going to sacrifice his ideal lineup today. Mike Malone is thinking about how to curb the Pacers' scoring, and Henson is also thinking about how to curb the Nuggets' scoring.

Today, the Nuggets' offense is very effective. Jokic's support and organization in the high post gave his teammates many easy scoring opportunities.

What Henson had to do was kill the connection between Jokic and the others. If you can't play team basketball, then Henson believes that the Nuggets offense will become a mess.

As a result, Henson began to change as planned. Before the start of the game, people said that he did not change today. But in fact, he prepared a big gift for No. 1 in the West!

"Beep~~~~~~"

At the last moment when the electronic buzzer sounded, Mike Malone also fervently called on the players to pay attention to shrinking defense. Henson clapped his hands lightly, appearing confident.

After seeing Henson's wheels turn, Mike Malone became nervous.

He knew that Henson Joe was not that simple. Coming to Denver today, he has only one purpose-victory.

"Coach Henson has changed, and his rotation seems to be less regular. PJ Tucker took the lead and replaced Lopez. Siakam and Kuzma replaced Oladipo and Brogdon. Well, Almost an ultimate lineup!"

Seeing Henson dispatched such a lineup with no center and no guards, Mike Malone was shocked. He thought that Henson did not have so many special arrangements for this game, but he did not expect that Henson came with the determination to kill.

The ultimate lineup, this killer that is almost forgotten by people, Henson made him appear in the Pepsi Center.

"Play inside, play inside!"

Seeing this, Mike Malone immediately asked Jokic to go inside. Jokic was already sweating profusely at this time, and it stands to reason that he should be off the court now to rest. Although Jokic is very comfortable with the thin air in Denver, his fat is always there and he cannot stay on the court for too long.

But due to special circumstances, Mike Malone decided to let Jokic play two more minutes. Now, Henson used P.J. Tucker to top the post, and Mike Malone wanted to use Jokic's advantage to make the post.

When Jokic heard the shout, he nodded silently to his coach. So this time, Jokic didn't play outside, but hovered in the middle distance. Then after his teammates opened up the space, he suddenly Sit into the inside position!

However, it is not P.J. Tucker who stands behind Jokic at this time, but Antetokounmpo!

Although Jokic is a center, his height is only 2.08 meters. Antetokounmpo's height, but reached 2.11 meters.

In other words, Henson's lineup without insiders does not have a height disadvantage in front of Jokic!

Jokic went inside twice, but due to the decline in physical strength, he did not make full use of his advantage in tonnage.

Seeing that the back hit didn't work, Jokic tried to pass the ball, but found that his teammates were all stared at. And the most frightening thing is that the guys who are marking his teammates are all about the same height and arm length. It is not easy for him to pass the ball successfully.

This is why Henson needs to send this lineup. As long as the team's ability to switch defenses is excellent, Jokic's organizational ability cannot be used. And now, the Pacers can do unlimited shifts without leaving any gaps. Jokic just wanted to pass, but couldn't get the ball to his teammates.

Murray and Patton were surprised to find that their speed did not take advantage of their height.

And Millsap and Plumley watched a group of people about their height run much faster, and their hearts were full of shadows.

Helpless, Jokic had to attack by himself. But his hook away from the basket didn't work. Antetokounmpo's interference and Jokic's exhausted body made his shot feel very bad.

Basketball finally knocked out of the box, the Nuggets in this lineup without a center, actually did not occupy the slightest inside advantage!

P.J. Tucker rushed up to grab defensive rebounds, and the Pacers' offensive and defensive transition instantly spread. Henson has been clapping on the sidelines, urging everyone to make a quick decision.

Tucker hit the ball to Siakam, Siakam threw the ball into the air, and Paul George completed an air dunk on Will Button.

With only two passes, the Pacers completed the offense. Henson immediately looked at Jokic. Well, that guy has just run halftime, and he must start back defense.

This rhythm is exactly what Henson needs!

With 3 minutes left at the end of the first quarter, the Pacers went ahead by 2 points!

"Damn, we also have a quick attack!"

Jamal Murray was a little angry, he was unwilling to be overtaken by the Pacers. So, what he is thinking about now is how to tie the score quickly.

So, he urged Plumley to make a quick baseline. After getting the basketball, Murray pushed forward at full speed.

Just after Jokie ran beyond the three-point line, he saw his good teammate rush in with a basketball. Without passing the ball and without cooperation, Jamal Murray used his speed to prepare for a goal.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to escape Paul George's pursuit. George leaped high and gave Murray a volleyball cap in the air. The basketball was shot flying out of the three-point line and fell into the hands of Antetokounmpo.

"No." Jokic wailed in pain, and sure enough, in the next second, Antetokounmpo started to attack with the ball!

As a result, Jokic, a fat man, had to run back with Antetokounmpo again. Jokic's innate physical and athletic abilities are very average. It is said that when he came to the Nuggets report on the first day, the plank could not last for a minute.

As long as an ordinary person exercises from time to time, there is no problem with planking for one minute. But as a professional athlete, Jokic could not hold on...

This shows that Jokic's huge shortcomings in this regard.

So now, Jokic struggling to run just a little past the midfield line, Antetokounmpo has already dunked. The Serbian center had to run back again before he could breathe.

Henson's goal was achieved, he increased the rhythm, and Jokic fell into a situation where he could only follow and run back.

Mike Malone clearly discovered this, but he couldn't do anything. After all, he just stopped the game, and Jokic was already overloaded in the first quarter. Not only was he unable to stabilize the rhythm with Jokic, he had to replace him the next time he dies.

Seeing the Nuggets step by step into the set they arranged, Henson could finally sit back on the bench easily.

Unless a certain player in the Nuggets suddenly breaks out, it won't be too difficult to contain No. 1 in the Western Conference today.

Now, Henson has the last problem from victory-physical fitness.

Whether the players can maintain a good form for 48 minutes in thin air is beyond Henson's control.

Therefore, although he is now leading the Nuggets by the nose, Henson is not happy. Whether you can win or not depends on how the players perform in the fourth quarter.

Because at that time, everyone must be exhausted and panting.
