152: Playing against Wayne is too painful (4.7K(1/3)
At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets trailed by 7 points.
Guagua actually played quite well, with 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter. Facing a Magic Tai who was fully defensive, it was already good to get this data.
But... Camby really can't guard against Wayne!
I really missed voting for him.
As a result, Wayne scored 12 points in a single quarter, overwhelming Guagua, and continued to suppress the 2003 class!
Wayne: How many times do you want me to say this? I already lost once in the last game, once! Can you please stop ignoring Ridnour and suppress me!
When the melons are gone, they become bitter melons.
This ball can't be played, and if Wayne is not guarded, this... what do you think of Nirvana?
But don't tell me, Camby grabbed 4 rebounds and blocked 1 shot in the first quarter. Although he was blown away by Wayne, his statistics were still good.
This is the art of defensive statistics.
It is quite extreme for a once honest person to turn into a black man.
George Karl couldn't stand it anymore. Camby's defense was so good that he had no friends.
Fortunately, the selection of the best defensive player is voted by reporters, so it is easy to be fooled.
If it were a coach's vote, Camby wouldn't be in the top five, he would be in the bottom five!
Like Nash, although his physical fitness is limited, at least his defensive attitude is still positive.
Canby is like this, it's just nonsense.
George Karl wanted to eat Canby, but after thinking about it, he decided not to eat it. At the moment, there was no one available except Canby.
If you want to put him on the bench, it's really not possible.
Therefore, George Carl had no choice but to find another way.
It's okay to keep Camby, but he must not be allowed to defend Wayne again. It's really terrible.
"Marcus, go back to position 5 in the second quarter. Najera, go to position 4 and guard Wayne! Give me a confrontation, make him uncomfortable, make him hurt!"
George Karl called a strong man from the bench.
Eduardo Najera, before Wayne, was the most famous NCAA international player in Ohio State.
This forward from Mexico, who is as tenacious and tenacious as a cactus, led the University of Oklahoma to the March Madness tournament for four consecutive years in college. (Not Wayne State University)
In his senior season, Najera was selected to the Big 12 All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive Second Team by averaging 18.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.
It wasn't until Wayne came out last year that his position as Ohio's No. 1 international player was replaced.
After Najera entered the NBA, his statistics were very average and he had no independent offensive ability. His highest scoring season so far averaged only 6.7 points per game.
His ability to survive in the NBA mainly depends on his fierce defense and hard work.
The purpose of Najera's defense is to make you pay the price even if you pass his level.
George Karl really needs players who can do the dirty work, the dirtier the better.
So as soon as the All-Star Game ended, Najera was traded from the Warriors to help the Nuggets make a push for the playoffs.
Najera is basically the opposite of Camby now. Although his statistics are not good, he is really defensive.
Sending him to defend Wayne would definitely be more effective than Camby.
Najera just came to the Nuggets and wanted to perform well.
He didn't get much playing time in the previous few games, but today he can start in the second quarter, so he must seize the opportunity!
And when they heard George Karl say "let it hurt", the Mexicans became even more excited.
Isn’t this my expertise?
Leave it to me, Wayne will definitely not do whatever he wants next.
The second quarter of the game officially started, and the Nuggets' lineup changed to Miller, DeMar Johnson, Guagua, Najera and Camby.
Wayne couldn't help but sigh when he saw Camby going to the fifth position.
I haven't done enough yet. Hey, I was planning to shoot three-pointers in the second quarter to get some growth points, but you just left right away.
Then Wayne looked at Najera again. This guy didn't look like a good person.
The ruthless Mexican villain in the movie is basically the same model as Najera.
After the Pacers attacked, the defensive pressure Wayne felt immediately changed.
In the first quarter, Camby acted like he was allergic to Wayne and basically stayed away from Wayne.
But this time, Najera stuck to Wayne as soon as he came up and even grabbed Wayne's jersey.
Wayne was speechless. I'm just standing here and haven't moved around. Do you need it?
It's like the thorns of a cactus catching on your clothes.
Payton saw that Wayne had no chance, so he called a screen and broke through.
Facing Camby, Payton took a throw and hit it easily.
The score difference became 9 points, and the Nuggets' situation did not improve.
Although they were scored again, this time, the Nuggets at least did not allow Wayne to get an easy shot.
That's enough!
As long as Wayne is not allowed to continue scoring easily, Anthony believes that the score can be recovered.
Wayne was beaten so badly in the first quarter, so he was 7 points behind!
Guagua walked quickly, and he felt like he saw hope again.
So this time when he played alone against Magic Tai, he became more confident.
A pull-up jumper after a triple threat, Anthony scored the 9th point of the game!
There are only 3 points left, only 3 points left for him to catch up with Wayne.
The killer who graduated in 2003 will be captured by me!
Najera was also confident because he didn't let Wayne receive the ball in the first round.
It seems that my hard education has worked.
Well, George Karl must be impressed by me now!
During this time, Kenyon Martin was injured, so the starting position was definitely mine.
Wayne continued to roam outside the three-point line, and Najera basically hugged Wayne like a koala hugging a tree.
Wayne looked at the referee, and the referee looked at Wayne.
Hehe, I won’t brag!
This game is so exciting, how could it be interrupted at will?
Besides, in Denver, you can't take any care of the home team.
Anyway, Najera didn't do anything big, just a hug, nothing special.
It’s been 5002 years, and a man can hug a man or something.
It seems that this referee has forgotten the horror of when Wayne dominated Auburn Hills just a few months ago.
How dare you let the players fight hand to hand with Wayne.
Wayne still didn't catch the ball, so Artest fired from mid-range.
Guagua is feeling comfortable. Damn it, here's the chance to narrow the score!
After receiving Miller's pass, he ran wildly, trying to narrow the point difference with a handsome dunk.
But when he rushed into the Pacers half and took off for a dunk, Artest also caught up and tried his best to interfere in the air!
Right after Artest missed the shot, he immediately started to retreat, trying to make up for it.
To prevent Xiao Ao from whispering in my ear again.
Therefore, when Guagua had a fierce confrontation with Artest in the air, all his movements were deformed.
The thrown basketball bounced on the rim twice and finally fell down.
"Ron's pursuit is so fast. With a player like him on the court, no offense for the Nuggets will be easy!"
The Denver commentator couldn't help but praise him after seeing his performance.
The score is really not that easy to narrow down.
After the Pacers attacked again, Wayne was no longer polite to Najera.
Since you are so positive, then I will be more positive than you.
This time, Wayne leaned on the Mexican in the low post and raised his hand for the ball.
Although Najera plays the fourth position, he is only 2.03 meters tall. Just because of his slender limbs and long neck, it gives people the illusion of being very tall.
