Zhang Jiawei: Nuggets Thunder MVP vs. Defense Battle; the presence of the Knights Twin Towers

Knight 1 to 2 Pacers. Both teams won all away. Home fans probably have to call RNM to refund the money?

Garland and Mobley returned, the Cavaliers lineup was neat, and they started with a 19-5 win. Pacers substitutes chased to 32 tie.

Cavaliers defended 3-2 in the second quarter, and the Pacers scored only 13 points, and then 21 points were lost.

Turner was injured in the third quarter, and the Pacers' final counterattack was strangled to death by Mitchell in the fourth quarter, ending.

Mitchell scored 43 points, and the total of 124 points in the three games of this series.

But he didn't win the last game with a more powerful 48 points, and he won today.

Cavaliers started, with the two towers connected, Garland fed the ball, Mitchell finished the game, 11-0 to 19-5. The Cavaliers substitute, and the Pacers go to Toping + McConne. Turner shot from a long time, Halliburton scored a sudden goal, and McConne scored 5 assists in 4 minutes. In the first quarter, ten Pacers played and seven scored.

Coach Atkinson: No, I can't play with you with a lot of people. So Coach Atkinson transformed into Thibodeau: he stopped playing in the second and third quarters, basically kept four starts in the team at any time, be careful: don't reverse it anymore.

and, joint defense.

The Cavaliers used 3-2 joint defense to disrupt the Pacers' offensive ideas in the second quarter, but they were different from the general joint defense three-way outside two-way player: Mobley, the defender of the year, stood at the free throw line in the 3-2 joint defense.

Haliburton and Nemhard are going online, and they look up at the towering Mobley, and behind them are Allen. Double tower double shield.

Pacers were guarded to only 13 points in the second quarter.

On the offensive end, the Cavaliers rushed to the frontcourt rebounds in a row, repeatedly cutting inside and out. Struce blocked Halliburton, and the Pacers 66-45 in the half, and then opened 21 points:

In the first half, the Pacers had a total of 15 backcourt rebounds and the Cavaliers had 13 frontcourt rebounds. The Cavaliers led 46 to 20 in total rebounds.

tone has been set.

Turner was injured again in the third quarter, and the Pacers were even more alive.

In the second half, the Cavaliers changed another move, with less joint defense. They first blocked the middle and forced the Pacers to pass the ball from both wings, and then attacked from the free throw line: they empty McConne, bullying Toping and Siakam did not have Halliburton's imaginary passing awareness that day, and ignored McConne's offensive threat.

Pacers once rescued some points with the incisive cuts of Siakam, McConne and Matherin, but Garland chased Topin and Matherin to tease him. Mitchell took over and beat him up. With 14 points in 4 minutes, the game was over.

Halliburton's second finale, big names like Justin, Mayweather and Curry all sent him text messages to congratulate him, but today he and McConne had a headache against the Cavaliers' 3-2 joint defense.

McConne still relied on empty cuts in the second half, while Halliburton only scored 4 points.

Not only Halliburton, the entire Pacers' second quarter was in a daze. At the end of the second quarter, Matherin passed the ball through a sudden pass and sent it to the corner where no one was.

Can't blame Mathering. The Pacers' secret of lightning passes is probably this: they don't pass the ball when they see an open position, but run the ball smoothly and pass the ball to the corner of "There should be a teammate there." But today the Cavaliers' 3-2 joint defense made the Pacers' passes and runs chaotic.

So we have to return to the key to the Cavaliers today:

Mitchell's 43 points and the same as usual attack power, but the Cavaliers' winning key to the goal today: a rebound of 75-46. The inside line of the double tower is guaranteed.

Defensive player of the year, Mobley, the team's highest 13 rebounds, the highest 5 frontcourt rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and stood on the free throw line in the 3-2 joint defense, disrupting Halliburtons' top-up instigation.

The Celtics of Lao Li + Thibodeau back then also liked the changes between 3-2, 2-3 and 2-1-2; the central axis of the joint defense and the free throw line at the basket can be permanently stationed, and the 1 of 2-1-2 is KG.

The presence of Mobri today on the defensive end is like that Celtic KG.

Nuggets overtime the Crewe, 2-1.

MVP against defense: Alexander made 7 of 22 shots, Jokic made 8 of 25 shots and made 8 of 8 of 25 shots.

The two teams each customized defense for the MVP and each paid the price: the price of the Thunder is in addition to Jokic, and the Nuggets made 16 of 30 three-pointers. The Nuggets cost Javier's highest 32 points in his playoff career.

But in overtime, Hartten missed three throws, got Mu's pick-and-roll started, and Gordon transformed into Horry.

Nuggets won.

Thunder's defense today: Hartten/Jerlin holds Jokic with all his might, Chet defends Gordon/Braun, and cruisses under the basket; the team shrinks, preventing Jokic from playing in and out.

The Nuggets team had 5 frontcourt rebounds, 32 points in the inside - 0 frontcourt rebounds in the first half, and only 14 points in the inside were scored in the first 61 points. Jokic shot 10 three-pointers.

Nuggets' defense today: Braun/Gordon was dead and stuck with Alexander. When he saw him reaching the free throw line, he contracted the weak side and attacked. Jokic was always waiting at the basket, with a triple shield.

Alexander only attacked the basketball 4 times today, but most of them were counterattacks, and only 5 free throws: a positional battle, and the Nuggets did not allow him to enter the penalty area.

Jokic scored at the basket for the first time in the first half, and he picked up three with the ball in front of the basket. Alexander's easiest score in the first half was a counterattack against Braun one-on-one.

Both of them were stuffed, but their performance was different: Alexander quietly instigated, only shot but not scored; Jokic was a little anxious: a strong pass was copied on the weak side, and he was anxious and still walked. After not making a layup, he rushed to make up for the interference, and missed the game with one goal.

Both sides locked the MVP-level superstar, so I saw the counter-attack of others.

The Nuggets once used 3-2 joint defense, but were scored by Chet and Jewe, and Chet attacked Jokic with a basket.

The Thunder set up a strange match: Caruso defended Porter Jr., Alexander defended Ennaji, and the Nuggets attacked Porter's weak side attack.

The third quarter, both MVPs took their own moves. Jokic took Chet back, and Alexander accelerated to beat the 3-2 joint defense; Jokic scored 69 with Porter, and Chet cut in and rebounded in the frontcourt. Jokic took Alexander on his back and overtook 71-69, stopping the Thunder. After

, Jewe's weak side attack started, but the Nuggets' surprise attack today played: He blocked Chet's cap, which looked like a strong wind blew Chet away from the basket. That ball started, Chet, like the first game, gradually disappeared on the offensive end.

But Chet's defensive presence is always strong. In the fourth quarter, Jokic called Chet and was immediately attacked. He made an eighth mistake and had to block Chet at the defensive end. At the end of the game, the Nuggets found a solution first. At that time, the Thunder had almost only Jokic in his eyes, so:

- Jokic attracted Chet's attack and fed Gordon with a low hand. Chet had to foul and tied the free throw at 95.

- Jewe turned around and played 97-95 with a low center of gravity, but Yomu's pick-and-roll started. At that time, the Thunder made an extreme defense: Dortmund and Harten would rather let Murray break through and dunk than let Jokic get the ball comfortably from the outside. Of course, Murray's attempt to dunk was fouled by Chet.

But Murray already understands: In the next round, Murray will be asked to pick-and-roll, Murray will go to Harteng to replace defense: 99 to 97.

Alexander also found a solution: Braun tried his best to grab his left hand, limit his jump shot, lead him to break through, Jokic waited for him at the basket; Alexander broke through the middle, and the Thunder's weak side contracted, so Alexander did the optimal solution he could do: keep turning the weak side.

Dotter made a three-no-touch shot, Jayne was more determined and overtook the top of the arc, which was the best opportunity for the Thunder in this game; Murray once again took advantage of Jokic to the pick-and-roll, and was defended by Chett until the three-no-touch shot. Alexander fed Jewine again under the siege of Gordon and Braun. However, that was the last highlight of Jewish: Alexander → weak side Jewish assembly line, the Nuggets saw it.

And the Nuggets also Gordon: Murray found Gordon's long shot in the left corner, tied 102, and then entered overtime.

Overtime, Jokic broke through in front of the basket and shot above Alexander; Alexander looked for Harteng to shoot, but he didn't touch it.

Yomu pick-and-roll, Murray used Jokic's threat to break through and lead the attack, finding Porter's weak side three-pointer. Looking back, Javier was cheated by one of three without any touch, Murray made a layup counterattack, 109 to 102, stopping the Thunder.

Alexander continued to find the weak side empty space, Chett made a quick breakthrough, but Hartten shot short again.

Nuggets continued to make pick-and-roll, and the Thunder were a little afraid of Murray. They were one step away from their position when they were siege and were thrown by Jokic; then there was a goal that locked the victory: Jokic broke through, attracted Chett to attack, fed Gordon a short shot, and locked the game.

Both MVPs were surrounded and worked hard to find opportunities.

Alexander relied on finding weaker side Jewish and Chet to maintain his score. Jokic relied on playing pick-and-roll for Murray and finding Gordon to maintain his score.

Overtime, Alexander failed to make three shots when he asked Hartten, while Jokic and Murray continued to look for Gordon, so the winner was decided.

Jewe played very well in the first and fourth quarters, but in the overtime, he missed a single-handed fight against Murray: it's hard to blame him, he is the perfect secondary attacker. If he has an open three-pointer, a chance to go straight to the basket or a bright one-on-one, such as Gordon alone in the weak side in the fourth quarter, he can get rid of the score by relying on a low center of gravity. But need him to dive into the crowd? Too demanding on him.

Chett was impeccable before being blocked by Watson. He was the iron gate that the team could restrain Kiddie on the defensive end, but he could not take care of Gordon.

Harten was impeccable to Jokic, but in overtime, his three shots missed and sent the Thunder away directly.

Porter Jr. was excellent in the first half and overtime today. The most moving moment in the game was: in the third quarter, the Thunder tilted the side against Jokic. He was fed by Westbrook on the weak side and passed the back door. He didn't make it, but he immediately went to the ground and made a scramble: Just work hard.

Watson is the Nuggets' Hanajima Sakuragi today. That block directly ended Chet's offensive momentum.

Murray has seen through the Thunder's siege against Jokic after the foul attempting to dunk in the second half. Since then, he has perfectly used Jokic's restraint and merged the Thunder's defense as he pleased; in the overtime, he also saw through the Thunder's way of looking for a weak side, and the key is to copy the ball and break the Thunder's offense.

Gordon is to Jokic, and Horry is to the Big Dream/Sharks/Duncan: swing three or four, defend three positions, make up for the leak and score, and make a key long shot.

Godor's three-pointer rate last season was 29% and his free throw rate was 66%, and he was repeatedly shorted. This season, Gordon's three-point percentage is 44% and his free throw percentage is 81%.

The three-pointer rate may be related to facing defense, but the free throw rate is the most authentic representation of effort, and you can see the effect by hard work.

Since this year's playoffs, Gordon dunked and scored three-pointers, and today he tied the three-pointer.

And it's not just a shot into an open basket.

Today, the two MVPs made 15 of 47 shots, and the two teams counterattacked around superstars, each paying the price, and the difference was in the end.

Gordon's long-range shot in the bottom corner and the overtime score in the fourth quarter are in contrast to Harten's three-skip moves:

Harten did not make the Nuggets pay the price to tie Alexander together, and Gordon made the Thunder pay the price to tie Jokic. The goal he scored was a victory for the Nuggets' strategy.

The funniest moment in overtime: After the Nuggets were suspended, Westbrook was squatting in front of the bench and yelling at the player. Of course he didn't get the tactical board. Perhaps Coach Adelman Jr. thinks that his voice is more effective: and the Nuggets are indeed as powerful as overtime.

By the way, if you just be a "player's coach", shout "rebound!" "retreat!" "Body language!" "Transfer the ball!!" "It's great now!! They're going to collapse! Let 's go!" Westbrook, probably, is no worse than Old Li...
