Look at the new generation, the era of Janduku is in decline after all! Can't stand it anymore?
The Nuggets must be much more difficult to beat the Timberwolves than the Lakers. On the defensive end, Huazi's strong playing ability is higher than that of the Lakers, his bench ability is stronger than that of the Nuggets, and in the offensive section, the Timberwolves' defensive resources are also a notch stronger than the Lakers.
The biggest problem for the Nuggets this year is that they don't have the ability to shoot with a base salary veteran, and normal big cities have this kind of player to enrich the bench for some time after the championship last year. It is very uncomfortable to play the semi-bench of the Timberwolves in the first stage, and it is difficult for the main team to play a long-term and high-intensity playoff this year.
And the supernova (Edwards, Doncic, Alexander, etc.) this year is not only to beat the older generation (James, Durant, Harden, George, etc.) but also to the Mesozoic (Jokic, Brother Alphabet, etc.), the new generation is too fierce
There will definitely be a lot of changes this summer, there should be no absolute dominance in the next few years, the championship will be in suspense every year, and the next few years will be very interesting. When the older generation replaced the earlier stars, now this change has quietly happened, and the new generation has also taken the position, although it is a little cruel, but this is really the era of young people.
If Pope is blown up by Huazi, the Nuggets can only be trapped, Gordon is too big and can't keep up with the speed and has to take care of the interior defense, Porter Jr. can't bend down and can't prevent breakthroughs, and the two young defenders on the bench can top it but the offense is one point less. The Nuggets attacked Jokic to play more aggressively, even if they didn't feel good, they had to attack Gobert for a foul, beat Gobert down, and the Wolves defense immediately downshifted
In fact, it feels like it's a matter of team attributes, and the Timberwolves' body shape is very good at the Nuggets with the No. 5 position as the core. However, the Thunder's rotation speed is fast and relatively restrained by a defensive team like the Timberwolves, and it is estimated that Gobert's playing time will be reduced at that time. There are too many cards in the finals of the Green Army, and they can play big and small, which is a bit exciting this year
