The strongest basket king

Chapter 321 Best Performance

Chapter 321 Best Performance

"It's so possible, how can the area he controls be so large, no, his speed..." a Spurs assistant couldn't help shouting.

Xiang Chu expanded the defense area this time, making the Spurs' offense extremely uncomfortable.

As a result, the Nuggets took the lead, but the Spurs quickly adjusted.

Still Ginobili and Danny Green, the Spurs' three-pointers are not as obvious as the Warriors' teams on the surface, but they are still one of the best three-pointers in the league.

Even if a strategy is formulated, it is still too difficult to block the three-pointer in practice.

This is also the reason why the Spurs are so good at conducting the ball, and the Nuggets will definitely not be able to do it.

The two teams played inextricably in the first quarter, and the Nuggets took a slight lead. Both sides were not satisfied with this result.

The two strong teams of the Spurs failed to play, and the Nuggets' defensive strategy was not implemented well.

During the rotation period, the Nuggets had an advantage, because Ginobili played early, and he played with the main players most of the time.

For the Nuggets, Williams and Chandler played well.

In terms of defense, they have also made adjustments. George Karl has been ruthless and must withstand Danny Green. If he is just showing off and is still an idol, he has always been so accurate on three-pointers, so he must be taken care of.

Facts have proved that it is correct to allocate more defensive energy to Danny Green.

Almost half of the second quarter, the Spurs did not perform well on the offensive end.

Just when the Nuggets were about to take advantage of the victory, Ginobili broke out again.

He hit consecutive three-pointers and scored in double figures in a single quarter. This situation has long been considered by the Nuggets, but Ginobili is not Danny Green, and it is difficult for them to completely limit it.

As it happens, Ginobili, as the second position, was originally the weak link of the Nuggets' perimeter defense.

Fournier's performance in the playoffs is really mediocre. If it weren't for his so-so shooting and the team's training target, he would have changed his starting lineup a long time ago.

However, apart from Manu Ginobili, all the Spurs performed poorly.

The Nuggets did not change their tactics, but Xiang Chu's defensive range was slightly expanded, which caused trouble for the Spurs. This is the ability of a super player.

He can easily do what a whole team can do.

Therefore, players who want to compete for the championship must chase super players. What they can do, others cannot do.

Both Xiang Chu and Ginobili had 20 points in the half, but Xiang Chu still had 9 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Nuggets also took a 6-point lead in the first half.

Their offense in the first two quarters was basically normal, but although the Spurs had an explosion from Ginobili, their offense was not normal. As long as the Nuggets hold the lead, this game will have a lot to do.

"Everyone is defending like this, drive them in from the outside, and then leave it to me." During the intermission, Xiang Chu said to others.

Many players looked at Xiang Chu differently. They were truly convinced by the young team leader.

This is the case in the regular season, and this sentiment has almost risen to worship in the playoffs.

This is competitive sports, and the strong will become everyone's idols.

"We have to turn that combination into a score, which is to score the damn ball."

In the Spurs locker room, Popovich was a little annoyed. Returning home is the team's opportunity, but the team's performance disappointed him. It is impossible to win the game by relying on Ginobili's personal heroism.

GDP is no longer at its peak, this is a somewhat sad topic.

They have to play the best teamwork, and then make the shots that should be shot. They didn't do well today.

In fact, it was because Xiang Chu was too strong that it seemed that they hadn't done a good job. Facing other teams in the league, they might have gained an advantage.

It is the Nuggets who attach great importance to this opponent, and Popovich is unhappy that the team has not shown its best side.

In the third quarter, the Spurs still unfolded in the same way. It's not that they have no chance, but their shooting percentage is a little bit worse.

However, the halftime break did not make them look better.

Four Nuggets came out to block the three-point line, and all the defense expanded.

Xiang Chu stayed inside alone. Logically, this was a good opportunity to attack him, but the actual operation was really difficult.

Monster, Popovich felt nervous when he saw Xiang Chu's defense threat, why wasn't such a player his disciple.

The Spurs replaced Manu Ginobili again, but he no longer had the feel of the first half.

Ginobili still maintains his demonic nature when he is older, but basically it is difficult to continue.

In the first half, the Spurs had eaten up the benefits of Ginobili's explosion, and now it's time for the Nuggets.

When Ginobili hit the iron, the Nuggets' three most stable starters, Knight, Middleton and Xiang Chu together extended the team's lead to double digits.

In the bench lineup, Diaw and Mills also performed poorly this time. Less than 2 minutes into the final quarter, Popovich couldn't sit still and directly let the main players play.

Popovich is not always strategizing, and no one bows his head in front of reality.

George Karl would not miss the advantage in front of him, and immediately replaced Xiang Chu.

It's already the Western Conference Finals, and Xiang Chu didn't show any physical problems, so he has to go ahead by double digits.

In the playoffs, it is meaningless to give the substitutes more chances to perform. If you are in good shape, you can play more, otherwise you can return to the bench until the end if you show your face.

Xiang Chu scored as soon as he came up, and the hearts of the home fans lit up.

The point is, the Spurs have a bit of a problem on the offensive end now. Leonard finally hit one, Parker finally hit one, and Danny Green couldn't make a shot after receiving the ball.

Seeing that the fourth quarter was halfway through, and the gap between the two sides was heading towards 20 points, Popovich suddenly paused and replaced all the main players.

In fact, there are not yet 20 points, maybe it can be saved, but Popovich just stopped playing.

This is his coaching style. If the main players do not play well, whether it is the regular season or the Western Conference finals, he will express his dissatisfaction in this way.

Strong strength and high status in the arena means willfulness.

The Nuggets did not withdraw their main players. The Spurs' bench lineup can shoot three-pointers. They should be more cautious at this time.

It's not just one or two games for the substitute to fill in the hole, and George Karl won't make a fuss in the playoffs.

After 3 minutes, the game can basically be concluded, and the Nuggets replaced all the main players.

The first away game completely suppressed the Spurs, and the Nuggets regained their home court advantage. Like the Heat, they led their opponents with a total score of 2:1.

Xiang Chu had 33 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks, another best performance in the game.

Since the playoffs, he has basically been like this every game. He is only one trophy away from the title of the strongest player in the playoffs.

Of course, that's also the hardest part.
