Denver Nuggets are not rich, and superstars can be counted almost with one hand.
In June 1976, Denver Nuggets, which originally belonged to ABA League, entered NBA after paying 3.2 million franchise fees. In the 1976-80 season, David Thompson and Dan Issel formed the first generation Gemini of the Nuggets in NBA, with the best result being 2-4 West decision in 1978.
The greatest player of the Nuggets in the 1980 s young pioneer team history was Alex Inglish, the eighth all-star and score winner in the 82-83 season. He led the team to the playoffs 9 times in the 1980-90 season, the best result was 1-4 defeat the Lakers in 1985.
Throughout the 1990 s, the Nuggets only entered the playoffs twice in 1994 and 1995, among which Mutombo (13.3 points per game), lafanso-Ellis (14.8 points), old Reggie Williams (14.3 points), Ma hammered-Lauff (12.9 points), Robert Parker (11.8 points), Bryant Stich (11.3 points) the first round of 3-2 “black eight” supersonic speed of the civilian team with six people in double was almost the most glorious moment of the Nuggets in the 1990 s.
In the 2002-03 season, Denver Nuggets won 17 and lost 65 to the bottom of the West. The biggest player in the team was Juwan Howard, who averaged 18.4 points, cainiao inner-hilio is the second best player of the playoff team who has been out of the way for eight consecutive seasons (1995-2003).
In 2003, the probe Lang Cameron-Anthony was like Inglish in the 1980 s young pioneer team history. Melon Cainiao helped the team return to the playoffs after 8 years, the Nuggets were able to enter the playoffs for seven consecutive years in 2004-10 because of melons. The best result of the Nuggets Playoffs in the melon era was that they lost to the Lakers in 2002-4.
On February 22, 2011, Nuggets, Knicks and Timberwolves were traded. The Nuggets sent Cameron-Anthony + Changxi-Billups + Shelton-Williams + Anthony-Carter + Reinado-Brockman to Knicks, finally, we got the first round of signing in 2014+2012 and the second round of signing in 2013 + Wilson-Chandler + Raymond-Felton + Gary Nally + mozgoff + cuvers +3 million cash.
“After sending Cameron Anthony away, Denver may not have a superstar for a long time.”
The Nuggets completed the reconstruction quickly through melon trading, and this civilian team still entered the playoffs three times in a row in 2011, 2012 and 2013. In the 2012-13 season, George Carl coached Ty-Lawson + Gary Nelly + igodala + Farri Ed + cuevers’s core class to win 57 and 25 in the regular saihao, and the third in the West, george Carl was elected coach of the year. “after Anthony was traded, I stayed in Denver for the last two or three seasons. That nugget was the best team I have ever brought.”
On June 7, 2013, George Carl was fired by the Nuggets, and the Nuggets started to rebuild completely. Although they missed the playoffs for five consecutive years in the 2013-18 season, the draft planted seeds one by one.
In the first round of 2014, Gary Harris was selected by the Nuggets; In the first round of 2014, jokiki was selected by the Nuggets; In the seventh round of 2015, Moody’s; In the seventh round of 2016, Murray; in 2018, the first round was 14 in sequence, with a small size of PROTONIC.
1976-2023, waiting for 47 years, after several generations of efforts, finally waiting for another superstar, yokedge, to lead the team to win the first championship in young pioneer team history. Looking at the Young Pioneer Team History of the Nuggets over the past 47 years, this crown is of great significance!
The Nuggets rebuilt their rise through talent shows and took the right key steps. There is a reason for their success.
On June 16, 2015, Nuggets hired Mike Malone as the head coach of the team. Eight years ago, Malone has built and ensured that the team culture of nuggets has not been interrupted-the management has long-term patience, internal stability and unity, this is the prerequisite for the success of the Nuggets.
Yokiki was not the starting center of nuggets at first. He and nurkiki had a competitive relationship in the team. Nurkich missed up to 67 games in two seasons due to severe knee injury. The Cainiao yokiki emerged and stood firm in the absence of nurkich. The Nuggets finally traded nurkich and left yokiki.
After nurkiki left, jokiki handed over the comprehensive data of an average of 16.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists. Although he was only in the second grade, he already had the mature play of the Cornerstone Center. In the 2017-18 season, the third-grade jokki officially became the new leader of the Nuggets. The Nuggets also have the core team of jokki, Murray, Harris, Millsap, Barton, Beasley, Morris and plamley.
Since the 2018-19 season, Harris has suffered many injuries such as groin, hip, hamstring, right inside muscle contraction, ankle and so on, especially in the 2020 West Nuggets VS Lakers series, harris was only able to get 4.2 points in 22.8 minutes, and the Nuggets got Aron-Gordon from Magic in the first round protected by Harris + Hampton +2025 on March 26, 2021. Theoretically, the chips of nuggets are not enough to get Aron-Gordon under normal circumstances, but at a time when the Magic reconstruction team opened the supermarket, Nuggets unexpectedly won this important championship puzzle in the future.
After the Nuggets were swept by warriors in the first round in 2022, two important operations were carried out: Barton and Mont-Morris were packed and sent to the Wizards to return to 3D defender pop; the free market signed Bruce Brown in 13 million years-improved back court and flanking defense, improved the depth of the lineup, and made rosters more balanced.
On April 12, 2021, Murray suffered a serious injury caused by the rupture of the ligament. This year, he was just 24 years old and in the first year of the execution of the $0.17 billion contract in 5 years. The recovery cycle will be calculated in years, and the team just entered the westward end in 2020, which was in an obvious rising period. Murray asked Malone with tears after being injured, “Will you Trade Me?” “Of course not, you are our person. We love you and will definitely help you return to the game. You will become stronger than before!”
In the 21st semi-final of the nuggets, no murray was swept by the sun. In the first round of 22, no murray and little PROTONIC were eliminated by warriors 4-1. They kept patient from top to bottom. The nuggets had been waiting for the moment when the staff were neat and all members were healthy.
Along the way, Malone has been in a stable position for eight years, supporting jokich, trading Gordon and pop, and waiting for Murray and Xiao PROTONIC to recover. This patience ensures that the core lineup of the Nuggets will not break up after suffering.
“Defense wins the championship”, and the improvement of defense performance is the most obvious change for Nuggets to win this year.
Last season in the playoffs, Nuggets defense efficiency was 121.9, and 16 playoff teams were at the bottom; In the 2021 playoffs, Nuggets defense efficiency was 122.1, and 16 teams ranked the fourth from the bottom; This season in the playoffs, Nuggets defense efficiency was 110.2, the fourth highest!
In the past two years, the Nuggets have been broken down by Paul/Booker and curry in the high position of holding the ball. There is no reliable defender outside the Nuggets. Pop, murray’s comeback has greatly improved the ability of anti-blocking, dismantling and chasing outside lines in the past two years. Pop, Brown and Braun joined forces to build a tough outside defense chain for nuggets.
Teacher Yue’s personal defensive ability has also improved greatly. In the past two years, when facing Paul/Booker and Curry’s targeted military training, his defensive efficiency was 121 and 115 respectively, personal defense efficiency has increased to 108 this year! What is this concept? When he won the Championship in 2020, his personal playoff defense efficiency was 107, and about teacher played a veritable top defensive performance of the inner gate in the playoff.
When the teacher was about to enter, he had a super high basketball IQ. He had a clear mind to prevent blocking and dismantling, but his body did not listen to his brain. His weight, steps and physical fitness limited his ability to prevent blocking and dismantling, in particular, both the Sun and The Warrior adopted the competition strategy of high-speed conversion which made him overdraw early. Teacher Yue began to lose weight from the last time due to the outbreak. In the summer of 21, according to trainer aikenberg, he revealed that he had lost weight by 30 Jin, reduced fat and increased muscle shaping. Teacher Yue completely changed from a large piece of pork belly to a tall and handsome.
There have been more changes in the anti-blocking and dismantling strategy of the Nuggets. In the past, it was only allowed to ask the teacher potty chair. Now, it is actually possible to use the clamp to hold the ball to delay the return, this season, teachers can even meet Vincent and Butler in the playoffs downtown relieve a garrison. About Teacher’s physical fitness and agility ability have improved significantly. In the series with the Lakers, it is not difficult to find that in the back court, it is about teacher who started the fast break with the ball!
When the appointment teacher was able to attack the whole game, even unlimited relieve a garrison, there was still physical strength in the end of the fourth quarter, which undoubtedly strengthened the last short board of the Nuggets defense.
About Teacher’s defense progress, Gordon grew into the champion’s team’s first lock anti-Arrow, pop, Brown, Brian both attack and defense, with abundant staffing, defense efficiency improved immediately.
This season, the Nuggets playoff attack efficiency 118.2 ranks first among all playoff teams! Attack No. 1 defense No. 4, attack and defense are integrated, and it is natural to win the championship. Defense is the foundation of nuggets this year, and there are more torturing opponents who have no solution to attack and change methods, “Come on, choose a way to die!”
Team cornerstone about teachers cut 30 points in the playoff game 13.5 rebounds 9.5 assists 1.1 steals 1.0 cap, 9.5 assists are undoubtedly the starting point of the team’s tactics. Hand-in-hand cover can create single shot opportunities for Murray, pop, and little PROTONIC, the Nuggets will have both ball-holding and ball-free offensive plays, and the whole team will be ranked third with 25.8 assists in the playoff games. It belongs to the top modern block and tear-down team, which is a basketball game in which everyone participates.
The appointment teacher himself can cut or bomb inside or outside the cover. The Nuggets kill Murray + the appointment teacher’s two-person transfer can be driven, broken, and projected, it is comparable to that in 2020, when the thick eyebrows have three points, the Zhan eyebrow block is removed. Murray and the appointment teacher can hold the ball and fight hard. Pop and little PROTONIC are two high-quality non-ball pitchers. The combination of little PROTONIC and Gordon provides height, rebound, vitality, at the end of the internal process, the board seats Brown, Jeff Green and Braun all have their own specific roles in both attack and defense-the division of labor is clear, each has its own duties, and the Nuggets have built multiple, three-dimensional, the all-round offensive bombing system, the root of the strongest offensive fire in this year’s playoffs is that all the members are relatively comprehensive at the offensive end.
In the 2017-18 season, yokedge led the team 46 wins and 36 losses, and the West lost the ninth playoff; In the 19th year, he emerged, and the West lost seven times with the Blazers; In the 20-year two rounds 1-3, he fell plot twist behind, it marks that the new army of the Nuggets reconstruction has truly become a mature competitor. Although they lost the Lakers 1-4 in the West, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the Nuggets win the championship.
Murray suffered a rupture of the cross ligament, which temporarily caused the nuggets to fall into a low ebb from the peak of the western decision. He was swept by the sun for 21 years. In 22 years, PROTONIC lumbar spine surgery and murray recovered for one year at the same time, the Nuggets lost to Warriors in the first round of 1-4 last year. They did their best, but they had no choice but the staff was uneven and the strength gap was too large.
This season, the well-organized and relatively healthy Nuggets showed the world their real strength: 16-4, sweeping the Lakers. Each round of series basically crushed their opponents with absolute strength, Gobel, Downs, Ayton, heavy eyebrows and Adebayor have no choice but to make an appointment with the teacher, which shows the absolute ruling power from point to point!
In the 2016-17 season, about teacher and Murray began to partner together; Nuggets in the 14th of 2018 selected small and medium PROTONIC. Cainiao missed the whole season due to back surgery, last season, another lumbar spine surgery was performed-two of the three-person group selected by the nuggets themselves suffered from serious injuries. The teacher asked for the first time in the eight seasons of the nuggets and finally waited for the first time in his career.
About teacher’s role in this season is similar to that of curry in the last season. When the team was at a low ebb, it led the team to grow up, and when the whole staff were healthy, the MVP + FMVP came into being. The way of success is the same. Patience, forbearance, persistence and sacrifice have made legend and greatness together!
