Nuggets G2 offensive observation: More plays and ball-handling opportunities for Johnson

In the last game, the Nuggets started with a long cut screen and then connected with Murray's zoom (screen + handoff) from the bottom corner. Most of the game also used 5 out to attack, which tested the handling of Murray and Jokic at the same time.

In today's game, the proportion of Jokic's back-up moves has increased slightly, and the Nuggets also added Cameron Johnson to the small-scale cooperation.

The opening scene was a classic after Jokic handed over the ball and used Gordon to cover his back position. After getting the ball, Murray used Johnson and Gordon to double cover without the ball. However, Gordon's cut in attracted more defenses, and Johnson got an open opportunity. A coordinated effort from four people.

The second attack started with the same tactics. This time Murray successfully ran over to respond, but Gordon got the chance.

Flare Slip between Braun and Johnson on the right: Using Johnson's space to threaten the screen, he went straight down, but unfortunately the final pass was not successfully connected.

Johnson's screen role is not only off-ball coverage, but also includes tasks performed by Pope and Braun in the past. This time he first helped Murray replace Dunn, Allen faced Murray, and Murray initiated a hand-to-hand breakthrough with Jokic.

When Murray is not on the court, Johnson will also start hand-to-hand with Murray at the top of the arc, doing the work of holding the ball from the outside.

In some rounds, Johnson and Jokic will also temporarily change their original tactical ideas. For example, this time the start was originally initiated by ZOOM on the left, but Johnson immediately covered Gordon with his back pocket and reached the top of the arc to catch the ball hand-over, successfully throwing away the opponent to complete the breakthrough.

Provided a reverse screen to Jokic to directly get an open opportunity

This time it was a relatively pure zoom initiative. After Johnson took the ball, he saw Jokic's movement attracting the defense, and Hardaway returned to the pop to get an open opportunity.

It was Johnson and Jokic's two-man turn on the left again. Johnson's touch pass after the fake cut in once again helped Jokic get a good opportunity. Unfortunately, most of the Nuggets' touch was relatively difficult today.

In the Nuggets' classic Horns initiative, Johnson "stole" Murray's job. He provided Gordon with a back screen and then pocketed the ball. After receiving the ball, he chose to refuse the screen to kill the opponent.

In addition to some inherent designs in positional warfare, Johnson's value in switching offenses to find teammates was still demonstrated in this game:

Generally speaking, the Nuggets are still in the process of running in. Cameron Johnson and MPJ are completely different players. He may be able to better utilize his golf IQ advantage by being more integrated into an offense that combines both on and off the ball. The team is also continuing to experiment with different lineup combinations, and it may take some time to fully reach a tacit understanding.
