Monroe, Alphabet, Jabari Parker, Michael Carter-Williams, these rotation players' three-point shooting rates are below 30%.
The Nuggets' defensive strategy is very simple, just pile people in the paint, Alphabet can't break through at all.
Then on the offensive end, the Nuggets' starters rarely played aggressively, with Nelson and Galinarli frequently firing from the three-point line, raining threes.
When it was time for the substitutes to play, Zeng Xingyang was on the court frantically leading Middleton in positioning.
Middleton isn't very active on defense, even if sometimes Zeng Xingyang can't shake him off one-on-one, just a screen can get rid of him.
In short, their defense gave Zeng Xingyang plenty of opportunities.
