Chapter 156 Personal Achievement
The Nuggets' last defensive tactic has no weaknesses, and George Karl has done it to the extreme.
But the reason why stars are stars is because they can do things that ordinary players can't. The Thunder didn't want a quick two-pointer, they worked hard to find a three-pointer.
The Nuggets' defense also had no loopholes. Seeing that there was no chance, Westbrook made a strong three-pointer.
"It hit, Westbrook hit a three at the buzzer, and he dragged the game into overtime."
"The Thunder counterattacked at the last moment and fully demonstrated the demeanor of a strong team. Let us wait and see who can seize the opportunity in overtime."
Westbrook and Durant broke out at the last moment and dragged the game into overtime, but they have no center now, and it stands to reason that the Nuggets lineup is dominant.
But it's hard to say about the lineup at the last moment, it depends on the performance of the stars.
The Thunder didn't come on the bench as a substitute, but directly played the first and fourth juniors. To deal with Xiang Chu, it is better to use offense instead of defense, and Ibaka is already the best candidate for defense.
Westbrook came up and scored, and the fans at the Pepsi Center became nervous.
It is very possible for the Thunder to drag the game into overtime and take advantage of the situation to win, but Xiang Chu immediately gave everyone a reassurance.
Ibaka's defense is good, but his strength is worse than that of Perkins. If Xiang Chu catches the ball in place, he will dunk.
But Durant immediately made a killing. Now the Nuggets are also a big and four small. Gallinari has a lot of defense, and Brewer came up to defend Durant.
Brewer defends very hard, but Durant can't be limited by hard work.
The Nuggets handed the ball to Xiang Chu again. The Thunder didn't dare to take chances at this time, and immediately entered the double-team. Xiang Chu split the ball and Gallinari made a hit.
Then they seized the opportunity of Westbrook's missed three-pointer to fight back and took the lead.
Then the two sides were grinding, Durant made Brewer five fouls, and Xiang Chu also let Ibaka get the fifth foul.
At this time, everyone's physical strength was exhausted, and no one's outside line was allowed.
The Thunder Twins all wanted to use three-pointers to quickly resolve the battle, but they failed.
In this way, it went straight to the last moment, and the Nuggets still relied on Xiang Chu to lead by 2 points, and the Thunder could only resort to foul tactics.
At the critical moment, the Nuggets made a steady free throw.
In order to defend the three-pointer, George Karl replaced the last lineup in regular time.
This time they lived up to the expectations of the head coach. Westbrook missed a shot and the Nuggets won a valuable victory.
The moment the referee blew the final whistle, the home crowd cheered loudly, and Xiang Chu couldn't help celebrating.
It feels completely different to kill a strong team like the Thunder. It's so cool.
Their battle also knocked the Thunder off the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference and returned to fifth place in the Western Conference.
Durant was very unhappy, "I think we dragged the game into overtime and gave ourselves a chance to win. We just didn't end the game. I missed a key jumper. I shouldn't have played like this. Performance."
This is completely looking down on the Nuggets. This buddy has already scored 37+8+7, and he still thinks his performance is not good.
It is not good to play after losing the ball. Xiang Chu, who scored 35 points and 15 rebounds and led the team to victory, has no problem with playing. He said to reporters: "We should have ended the battle in regular time. Fortunately, we won the game in the end."
"There is no doubt that our true strength can wrestle with any team."
Xiang Chu has now completed his transformation, ranking first in rebounds per game, sixth in points per game, and still on the MVP list. His popularity has finally risen a lot faster, and the future is more and more worth looking forward to.
There will be a competition three days later, and Xiang Chu has also settled the business endorsement, and will shoot two more commercials soon.
Now that the editing technology is getting better and better, it is actually not difficult to shoot commercials.
Previously, he endorsed those gifts from merchants that he didn't mind. This time, it's good to have an extra car. I didn't expect his big garage to add new members so quickly.
In fact, he didn't drive the one in front of him much, and it wasn't as wandering as Olivia, so he could just leave it to her this time.
On January 1, the Nuggets came to Houston.
The Rockets are now competing with the Jazz for the eighth spot in the Western Conference. This season's record can only be described as good or bad, and it has not met their expectations. You must know that they brought in a few players in the summer.
Jeremy Lin and Harden are actually a bit of a mismatch. They are both players who need the ball in their hands.
Jeremy Lin is not stable enough and can only play a supporting role, but if he is a supporting role, it will be difficult to play Lin Crazy's performance, and the Rockets are naturally a little disappointed.
But second-year student Chandler Parsons has made a lot of progress. He is also a second-round pick, and the Rockets can be regarded as a treasure. However, with the monster Xiang Chu, their treasures this year have lost a lot of color.
The Rockets are also a typical outside team, with a lot of three-pointers, which the Nuggets should pay special attention to.
The center of the Rockets, Asik, is also a defensive insider, but he is a bit weak in front of Xiang Chu. His atypical defensive insider, Xiang Chu, is easy to play, but Perkins' pure defense consumes a lot of energy. .
At the beginning of the game, the Rockets made continuous shots from beyond the three-point line. Except for Asik at the fifth position, everyone else was like this.
Harden's first three shots were all from beyond the three-point line, but fortunately he only hit one goal.
As usual, the Nuggets start from the inside. The Nuggets' shooting is really helpless. One thing is that they will definitely have open spots, but most of them are iron shots.
If you're not a pitcher, a lot of teams aren't used to catch-and-shoot.
Fortunately, although the Rockets took a lot of three-pointers, their hit rate was average. Xiang Chu played steadily in the paint, and the Nuggets gradually gained the lead.
The main lineup is dominated by the Nuggets and the Rockets.
Delfino and Marcus Morris both had good touches, hitting four three-pointers.
During the rotation period, the Rockets caught up with the score, but when the main players played, the Nuggets stabilized their lead again.
The main reason is that Xiang Chu is too domineering. As for the outside line, it can be said to be a mess.
So even if Xiang Chu blasted the Rockets' insiders to pieces, they would only lead by a small amount at halftime.
It can't be said that the Nuggets are useless outside. They also sacrificed for the team's tactics. If it weren't for Xiang Chu's rise, they would not be able to show star performance, but the statistics must be better than they are now.
But with Xiang Chu, the Nuggets are definitely stronger.
Even if some players are slightly restricted by the team's current tactics, it is worthwhile for the team.
You know, after Anthony left, the Nuggets became a little transparent.
This season, with the rise of Xiang Chu, they gained some attention again. If they want to go further in the West, they must insist on building a team that can fight tough battles with Xiang Chu as the core.
