"Excellent, the 10th block, Xiang Chu has scored 33 points, 15 rebounds and 10 blocks, a violent triple-double."
"The Spurs are already 7 points behind, and there are less than 3 minutes left in the game. Do they still have hope of winning the game?"
"Danny Green! Green hit a three-pointer at the critical moment, and the suspense of the game remains."
"Oh, my God, Jokic made a three-pointer, so confident! Jokic has scored 23 points this time, and he has also scored a double-double. His explosion made the Diggers, who are already the number one in the league, The Golden Insider has become even scarier."
"The Spurs didn't give up, Leonard! Leonard made a three-pointer. This is not a common trick for the Spurs, but the Spurs are characterized by tolerance."
"Galinari broke through and Duncan fouled. This is Duncan's fifth foul. Now Duncan can't jump at all, and there is nothing he can do about fouling."
"Parker made a three-pointer. Hey, unfortunately, it missed. The Spurs are running out of time."
"Stop playing, the Spurs did not choose foul tactics, and the Nuggets won this back-to-back game."
After the game, Popovich said depressedly: "We were beaten inside. It's unbelievable. The Nuggets' inside can become stronger. They actually played the twin towers. I might not like this tactic."
After the game, Xiang Chu played his teammate Jokic, "He is very talented. I have long known that our cooperation on the court will be very compatible. I think his performance will get better and better."
"Will the team focus on twin-tower tactics? Haha, guess what."
George Karl was also very happy, "Xiang Chu can adapt to many tactical systems, and he can make his teammates better. When we chose Jokic, we thought he could be on the court with Xiang Chu at the same time."
"There are hundreds of tactics in my tactics book. You will know what tactics we will use next."
The game tasks for the Nuggets during this period are still relatively heavy. They only have one day to adjust and play home games when they return to Denver.
The Nuggets' starting lineup has been adjusted again. After negotiating with Jeremy Lin, he will switch to the sixth man.
TJ-McConnor starts at the No. [-] position, but most of the time he will be a false starter.
The team is ready to develop in the direction of the twin towers, but there is no one step in place.
If Jokic can really play, it doesn't matter if there is no number one on the back line. In that case, the Nuggets' backcourt will be diversified.
Many teams in the Western Conference did not start this season very well. In fact, the Nuggets are now ranked third in the Western Conference.
The record is not bad, but the team is still struggling to get better.
They are not a team that will be satisfied if they stay in the top four in the West. Defending the title is the only goal.
If Xia Tian was just shouting slogans, after seeing the team's results now, the management and coaching staff felt that it was feasible.
It’s just that the tactics of the players have changed and they need to be more compatible. The team boss and the head coach often communicate and stand on the same front, and many things will be much easier to handle.
"You don't have to think about it, you can bring out your characteristics better with a rotation lineup." During the training break, Xiang Chu and Jeremy Lin said.
Jeremy Lin smiled wryly, "I understand that I will do my best to do whatever the team asks me to do."
Jeremy Lin is not depressed, he is just a little helpless. Compared with the ups and downs of the previous few years, the Nuggets respect him more, but Xiang Chu's success is too enviable.
Only the first position is adjusted in the starting lineup, and there are not so many tactics to be changed.
The Nuggets plan is that in the next games, they will gradually increase the proportion of the use of the twin towers.
The team competed to form three sets of more effective offensive tactics, one big and four small, two towers, and then pick and roll when Xiang Chu was not on the court.
On November 11, the visiting Suns became a test subject after the Nuggets changed.
TJ-McConnor has been performing quite well since the beginning of the regular season. Although he has the lowest pick, the team needs the No. [-] position, so he has been given opportunities every game, which can be regarded as a test.
Now he is starting, and he is actually playing almost the same as when he was off the bench.
In fact, he is not the team's ideal No. [-] position. He plays steadily and is willing to defend, which meets the team's requirements, but his three-pointers are not very good.
But no one is perfect, and he barely qualified as a false starter.
The Nuggets took the initiative at the beginning of the game. TJ-McConnor is definitely not as good as Knight, but the Nuggets actually don’t need a player with strong ability at the No. [-] position. Even Jeremy Lin’s starting-level strength cannot be fully utilized .
The Nuggets have several good offensive points, and they can cooperate well as the No. [-] position.
If the type is not extremely suitable, it is normal that some abilities cannot be fully displayed.
TJ-McConnor's tactical execution ability is relatively strong, and players with average abilities are more suitable than Jeremy Lin to a certain extent, and will not waste combat power.
The Suns are still in the two-gun mode in the backcourt, but they didn't make a three-pointer, so they appear to be relatively weak.
To be honest, the Suns started the new season fairly well, of course they can't compare with a strong team like the Nuggets.
Their goal is to enter the playoffs, and at this stage, they are moving towards that goal.
During the rotation period, the Suns began to show off as usual, and their three-pointers also began to score.
For the Nuggets, Jeremy Lin's performance is neither good nor bad, and he is still adjusting his style of play.
However, with a substitute lineup, there are indeed more opportunities to perform. When Xiang Chu goes to rest, he will have the opportunity to play with the ball, just like Lu Wei did last season.
Xiang Chu generally doesn't play pick-and-rolls with outside players, but the Nuggets can do it with other insiders.
In the second quarter, Knight played better and better. He returned to the Pepsi Center without booing. The fans were very generous to the players who left because they retained the championship. However, Knight still played more excitedly. The players faced the veterans. There will always be a performance mentality when it comes to the host.
The Suns kept up with the Nuggets' offensive rhythm in the second quarter. At this time, the Nuggets also used the double-tower tactic, and the Suns' inside line was undoubtedly blown to pieces.
The score led, but the Nuggets halftime locker room was more like a classroom.
The new tactics, how many of them have been implemented well, and how many rounds have problems, the coaching staff will point them out, and then arrange the tactics for the second half.
This is indeed similar to class, finding problems and solving them.
Of course, the intermission cannot be as detailed as the video analysis after the game. The test is the ability of the coach to focus on the key points. In this regard, George Karl and his coaching staff are not bad.
It is also related to the execution ability of the players. Xiang Chu can handle many things, and the coaching staff can also say what they want to achieve without any scruples.
"Okay, the advantage is on our side. As long as we do a little bit better in the details, the victory will remain without any suspense." It was Xiang Chu who made the conclusion, and the coaching staff was no stranger to it.
