The strongest basket king

Chapter 171

Chapter 171

After a collective slump on the outside of the Nuggets, they encountered soft persimmons.

The Bobcats are indeed soft persimmons, no offense, no defense, even three-pointers, whoever hits will know.

If the Nuggets still can't win, Xiang Chu will want to create news of discord with his teammates.

The Bobcats have a small feature. Ben Gordon and Tyrus Thomas with high salaries are no longer good enough. The team has to rely on young people with rookie contracts to win the world.

The second-year Kemba Walker is actually not bad, but this is only a bobcat like the Bobcats who can be the boss.

Needless to say, this year Xiang Chu and Howard are competing for the first center. Irving has also been selected as an All-Star, and Kemba Walker is just good.

The Bobcats have obvious shortcomings in both inside lines. Mullens can attack but is not sharp, and he can't move defensively. Bi Yongbo can't attack at all and is short.

Xiang Chu did whatever he wanted in the paint from the start of the game, and Iguodala had a decent start to the game.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, as long as someone can give support from the outside line.

The Bobcats rely on CIC, and their efficiency will not be as high as that of Xiang Chu.

In this way, relying on Xiang Chu's deterrence in the interior, the Nuggets took the lead from halfway through the first quarter.

They didn't quickly open up the score. The Bobcats' outside line is actually much more stable than the Nuggets.

But the Bobcats have no chance to overtake, and the current team is much less threatening without a three-pointer.

The substitutes on both sides are equally divided. The Nuggets seized the advantages and increased their lead a little bit. The Bobcats have no All-Star players, so there is nothing they can do about it.

At the end of the first half, the Nuggets only lead by 6 points, but they have already controlled the scene. The Bobcats' mid-range shot is very accurate, but that's all. There is no hope of catching up.

Of course, a 6-point advantage is nothing in the league, and the Nuggets must not take it lightly.

In the second half, the Nuggets continued to rely on their inside advantage to play steadily, and their lead gradually came to double digits. In order to deal with Xiang Chu, they even moved out veteran Heywood, but it was still useless.

By the end of the quarter, the Bobcats gave everyone to Kemba Walker, and Kemba Walker also played a good performance, but it was too late.

The Nuggets won the victory, and the Bobcats also exercised their young core. Everyone seems to be doing well.

The Nuggets won this game, but some media ridiculed them for bullying and fearing the hard. Xiang Chu is just a data brush.

Xiang Chu was in a daze. He just scored 35 points and 12 rebounds. That's pretty normal.

George Karl originally planned to comfort this desirable disciple, but Xiang Chu had already posted on social media, saying that he could score high scores casually without needing to swipe at all.

This shameless appearance has also won the support of the fans. An old guy of George Karl's age can't understand the current society at all. As a public figure, shouldn't players be taller?

The local media of the Nuggets hurriedly gave Xiang Chu a platform, showing their record and showing that the Nuggets can fight hard this season.

The reason why the media jumped out was because it was time to talk again.

Xiang Chu has a lot of enthusiasm, but his personal enthusiasm is still not as good as the Lakers. The Nuggets are going to beat the Lakers again.

Howard was interviewed before the game, and he never tired of comparing him with Xiang Chu in the media.

"Don't keep talking about statistics, I don't want to answer, we will win the game, that's it."

Knowing Howard's attitude, Xiang Chu just smiled slightly, "This is our territory."

In fact, he also knew that Howard was annoyed by the media. Xiang Chu had been on Howard's popularity before, but now he is actually competing for the league's first center, because this kind of competition will definitely compare the two.

Many people think they are similar. In fact, those who really understand basketball know that Xiang Chu and Howard are not the same type of insider. Howard is more defensive, and Xiang Chu is more offensive.

Now Howard can still wrestle with Xiang Chu. When Xiang Chu acquires more magical skills, his opponent is not just an insider. Now Howard has become a sharpening stone on the road to success.

The grievances between Xiang Chu and Howard were rife, and the home audience was also extremely excited. Seeing Howard came in, he was ignored.

The home game is cool, but in this way, next time Xiang Chu goes to Los Angeles, he will enjoy the same treatment.

In order to watch the match between the two of them, Xiang Chu's fans stood in front of the live broadcast, and even some non-fans joined in the fun.

The two teams are nothing in terms of performance. The Lakers have not yet entered the top eight, but the popularity is very good. Whether it is the United States or China, young people like to be lively, and the ratings of the live broadcast are much higher than ordinary games. .

The Lakers Gasol was injured before the All-Star Game and is still recovering, so he will not be able to play this game.

But in the current Lakers system, Gasol's role is not particularly important.

In fact, the Lakers played well after the All-Star Game, and Kobe was determined to lead the Lakers into the playoffs.

Kobe has a high status in the world, and he also needs face. The Lakers' performance this season is a mess, and he has also endured a lot of criticism.

At the beginning of the game, Howard won the jump ball, and the Lakers also took the lead in scoring.

But then the Nuggets took the initiative. Howard's defense was really hard this time. After so many things, and seeing Xiang Chu's performance in the All-Star Game, Howard is not stupid and dare not underestimate him.

He said before that he won the game, but he actually planned to sacrifice some data to hold Xiang Chu back.

And the Nuggets Gallinari was injured again when he played, and he didn't play this time. The Lakers felt that they could suppress the Nuggets' perimeter.

In fact, their defense is not bad, if you only talk about outside shooting.

Chandler, who replaced Gallinari, played well at the start. Artest is really old, still has strength, and he can't stop his breakthrough. The Nuggets' starting lineup is not at a disadvantage.

But the most important thing is that Kobe was a little anxious, and he didn't feel good and hit the iron continuously, allowing the Nuggets to seize the opportunity.

The Lakers Kobe hit the iron, and Howard did not perform well.

He tried his best to block Xiang Chu, but Xiang Chu exploded all his points and rebounds.

If it weren't for the Lakers' substitute players hitting 4 three-pointers, they would have been opened up by the Nuggets in the first quarter by double digits.

With Jamison, Meeks and Blake's three-pointers, the Nuggets still lead by 6 points.

The Lakers' rotation performed well, but the Nuggets were not bad either.

Playing the Lakers is not Xiang Chu's job alone. The outside world has attracted a lot of attention. The Nuggets players all want to win each other. Brewer, Miller Sr. and Mozgov who came off the bench all performed well.

Under such circumstances, the Lakers played very hard.

Kobe, who played again, regained his touch, and Nash also increased his offense, but Xiang Chu overwhelmed Howard.

It's not that he beat Howard on the offensive end, but that he took advantage of the defensive end.
