Nuggets: The first person to date a teacher today!

Last season's regular season saw constant ups and downs for the Nuggets. The team fired their meritorious coach Malone, but the team's record improved instead, eventually ranking fourth in the Western Conference.

Facing the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, the Nuggets relied on Gordon's buzzer-beater to finally reverse the series and win in a tiebreaker.

In the second round, they faced the final champion Thunder and reached the tiebreaker. Although it was a pity to lose, it still created big trouble for the Thunder.

If the role players can give more strength, if Porter can be more accurate...

There are not so many ifs, and the Nuggets are out, so they learned from the experience in the new season and made large-scale changes in the offseason.

The biggest change is to send away Porter, the hero of the championship. His form last season was up and down and he has been criticized by fans.

The team released free agent Westbrook, who was also one of the contributors to defeating the Clippers in the first round last season.

They have gained a lot in the offseason and are one of the best teams in the league.

Johnson is undoubtedly the most important signing. He's shooting 39% from three-point range, and whether he can fill Porter's role is key to the team. At the same time, he has better defensive ability than Porter and will be a good assistant next to Jokic.

Bruce Brown joined. As an important rotation for the team in the championship year, Brown returned to the Nuggets. He can complement the team's bench well.

Hardaway Jr. is an important rotation for the team's back line. He started 77 games with the Pistons last season, averaging 11 points per game and shooting 36.8% from three-point range. He will be an important source of firepower on the bench.

Valanciunas has strengthened the team's relatively weak substitute inside strength. He can

ensure that the team will not lose too many points after the teacher comes off the field. This was also the biggest problem that caused the Nuggets to lose last season.

The Nuggets were very unusual last season. The tactics they built around Jokic have proven to be very successful, with the team ranking fourth in offensive efficiency. The team ranked last in the league in three-pointers, but ranked in the top five in field goal percentage.

The assist rate ranks first in the league. They are a team that is very good at sharing the ball and playing tactics.

Their defensive efficiency is 21st in the league, but they can play the league's best fast break. The protection of the backboard is indispensable. The fourth-highest rebounding rate in the league ensures they can quickly initiate a pass.

Braun is the team's number one player in fast breaks, and his long-distance passing ability ensures the team's fast break efficiency.

Overall, the Nuggets have a complete lineup, and No. 4 Gordon is also top-notch in the league. If Murray can maintain his form, the Nuggets will definitely be the first team in the Western Conference in the new season.

Problems faced by the team:

1. Can the new players quickly integrate into the team?

The signings this season are perfect, but they need to quickly integrate into the team and transform into a tacit understanding. This takes time to polish.

2. The team's defense

Defense has always been the team's weakness. Although Johnson can strengthen the defensive strength of the front line this season, Murray and Teacher Yue need to be protected as two points that will be targeted. Braun also needs to perform better as the lead defender.

3. Can the substitutes maintain a high level for a season?

The Nuggets substitutes have indeed strengthened a lot this season, but it is unknown whether they can maintain a high level.

4. Health

Murray's injury problem is the key to the team, and maintaining good health is crucial for the Nuggets.

Expected starting lineup:

Murray, Braun, Johnson, Gordon, Teacher Yue

Expected substitutes:

Brown, Hardaway, Strawther, Watson, Valanciunas

The team will continue to build the team around Teacher Yue and strive for the championship. Teacher Yue is the number one player in the league in terms of pure strength. His presence will undoubtedly put the Nuggets in the first place in the league.

Whether it is scoring, rebounding or assisting, he can help the team in all aspects.

If the Nuggets can stay healthy and new players integrate quickly, the Nuggets will be one of the strongest teams in the league. A strong contender for the championship.

Expected season record: 54 wins
