Nuggets Adelman: We will focus on physical fitness during the offseason and will bring something that will excite the team

May 30th News Recently, the Nuggets organized a press conference for the newly appointed head coach Adelman. During this period, he and team owner Josh Kroenke shared their views with everyone on topics related to the team's future. Adelman, 42, officially stepped down his title of interim coach after leading the Nuggets to lose 3-4 to the Thunder in the second round of the series.

Talking about how to change the team in the future, Adelman told reporters: "New ideas are good ideas. I have to give them something that will excite them and make them look forward to it. I also hope that the players think their opinions are important. We are building all this together. It is about trust and effort."

Kroenke regards this offseason as a crossroads. He said: "Can we achieve that (winning the championship) goal with the current lineup? I think the answer is as (Nicol Jokic) said after the playoffs, no, so we need to carefully examine how to increase the cap in the future, whether it is internal mining or external signing."

At the same time, Kroenke admits that Denver is still looking for a permanent general manager. Currently, Ben Tengzell is temporarily taking over this position, and Adelman is expected to participate in this decision.

Kroenke said: "The investment will be relatively less, because I am concerned about the synergy between the two."

Adelman also expressed the same view: "This business focuses on unity. It is to keep moving forward and strive for victory. That's all. It's not about finding your best friend."

Nowadays, for Adelman, the challenge is to shape the Nuggets into a team that conforms to his philosophy. He said that this must first start with physical training - it must not only support the team in the regular season, but also ensure that the players can still maintain good shape in the playoffs. "Those teams that start well are usually in the best physical condition at the end of the year, thus having the greatest chance of winning in these big games. That will be our expectation to return in a better shape." Adelman did not promise a significant change in style, but suggested adjustments would be made around execution rather than rhythm.

Adelman said: "We have to be a team with strong execution again. If this will lower our pace data, or whatever the data analysis says, I don't think it's OK, as long as you can win the game for you in May."
