Chapter 324 I hate tiebreakers

On May 5, the fifth game between the Nuggets and the Spurs.

The Nuggets fans really hope that the team can win the opponent at home, and they are ready for the carnival.

The last time the Nuggets reached the finals was not in the NBA, the fans can imagine the mood.

Even people in the city who don't usually watch football are paying attention to the progress of the game.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets saw the change of the Spurs, that is, Bonner started.

Xiang Chu scored points in the first attack, Splitter was a meat shield, but Bonner was not.

The Spurs' idea was to attack, at worst, switch defenses, Xiang Chu went to defend Duncan.

If it was not so easy for Xiang Chu to face Duncan last season, he can already suppress the opponent this season.

The Spurs' first score was from the outside, and it was another three-pointer by Danny Green.

With an extra three-pointer in the start, the Spurs' tactical changes have been enriched.

The Nuggets responded to all changes with the same. Anyway, Xiang Chu went in and played hard on the offensive end, and the effect was very good.

The Spurs have also made up their minds to attack. They don't have the main attack point in the previous games, they are completely team-style, but if Duncan has the opportunity, the ball will definitely pass in.

The Nuggets took the lead to make adjustments, replaced Chandler, and further launched a counterattack.

For a while, no one could prevent anyone, and the scores of the two teams rose rapidly.

At this time, it depends on who can be more stable. Logically, the Nuggets will be more stable, because the Spurs must rely on the performance of role players to keep up with the progress of the Nuggets.

But I don't know if the Spurs were lucky this time, or if Popovich gave enough opportunities to the role players in the previous two games. When it came to the rotation period, the Spurs' bench collectively exploded.

Ginobili, Diaw and Mills, three-pointers like rain.

The situation that the Nuggets were most worried about before the Western Conference Finals appeared. The first few games were not so crazy. They thought that the defense was in place and the Spurs could not play this kind of offense. They did not expect the Spurs to explode.

George Karl quickly replaced Xiang Chu on the field. When Xiang Chu was resting on the bench, the Spurs took the lead with a few three-pointers, and directly led to double digits.

After Xiang Chu came on the field, the Nuggets' offense followed suit.

The Spurs couldn't defend against Xiang Chu with an offensive lineup. It seems that Popovich changed his strategy, which is to fight for offense.

They were indeed very successful in the first half. Although Xiang Chu led the Nuggets to narrow the gap between the two sides to single digits, the Spurs still took the lead at halftime.

"They can't be so accurate all the time. We have to defend well and turn the score when we have the opportunity." Xiang Chu said before George Karl spoke.

The morale is most likely to be hurt when the opponent's offense breaks out. He doesn't want the team to relax their defense, because in that case, the game will be irretrievable.

The Spurs changed the starting lineup again in the second half, and Diaw became the fifth position.

The main problem is the feel. This time Dior made every shot from outside the three-point line.

As for defense, Dior may still be a little better than Bonner, although his height is useless in front of Xiang Chu.

But the Spurs are all about offense, so it doesn't matter if they can't defend Xiang Chu in the low post.

Their biggest targeted initiative is pass defense, and the Nuggets are indeed not as good as the Spurs in this regard.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the two sides played inextricably again.

Changes occurred after Ginobili came on the court, such as Parker's style of play, it is really hard to predict what Ginobili will do on the court.

The Nuggets lost again in the rotation lineup. In fact, Xiang Chu didn't end, but the Nuggets' outside line was not as accurate as the opponent. After the Spurs came together, it was even more difficult for the Nuggets' outside shooters to hit under pressure.

At the end of the quarter, George Karl saw that the game was difficult to handle and replaced Xiang Chu.

In this game, the Spurs can be said to have achieved the most desired result. The player's shooting rate is too high. The Nuggets were directly shot to death by a three-pointer. This is the result of their desperate efforts to block the three-pointer.

When threes are more accurate than twos, there's really not much to say.

The Nuggets really want to end the series, but many things will not be smooth sailing. Only by overcoming difficulties can they become stronger.

"It's because we played harder." Popovich said after the game: "Don't be too excited when you win, and don't be downcast when you lose. The key to the game is execution and a tough heart. You Execution must be played and passion must be played.”

Duncan talked about the coach's adjustments to the lineup, "This is really helpful. Popo made important adjustments and obviously achieved results. Our feeling is that if we can play the game correctly and control the ball. There's no reason we can't win."

"We have no retreat, we must work hard on the field and implement the coach's tactics."

George Karl said in an interview, "We let them do whatever they want, score points at the three-point line, and they also went to the free throw line smoothly."

"Both teams are desperate to win the game. We know their style of play, they know our style, so we have to do our best to stop their offense, that's the core content. "

Xiang Chu then also talked about the issue of defense, "We should stay aggressive and defend well. When we can't hit the shot, we must defend well, but we didn't do it tonight."

"But I still believe we're going to be the series winners. And... don't ask me about tiebreakers, I hate tiebreakers."

Xiang Chu has experienced two unhappy tie-breaks, so many people think that if the Spurs can drag the game into the tie-break, they will win.

In fact, Xiang Chu had no psychological shadow at all, but was just a little upset.

He has made up his mind that he must win the next game.

He's going to be more aggressive and maybe he shouldn't try as many passes.

If he doesn't have a touch on the outside, he can do it himself. As long as he can get to the basket, it doesn't matter whether he is double-teamed or not.

Xiang Chu went to find George Karl again, and the two communicated for two full hours.

On the other side, the Heat beat the Pacers in Game [-].

The Heat once again showed their strength on both ends of the offense and defense, defeating the Pacers in the first half.

Although the Pacers came to their senses in the second half, and although Paul George broke out again, it was too late, and there was still a clear gap between them and the Heat.

Becoming the Eastern Conference champion for four consecutive years, the Heat also took the lead in advancing to the Finals.

On the last day of May, it was the sixth game between the Nuggets and the Spurs. Spurs fans hoped that the team could perform miracles, and the Spurs soldiers were also full of fighting spirit.

In the locker room, Xiang Chu adjusted his state.

"Brother, are you okay?" Farid asked worriedly, and he felt something was wrong with Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu made a gesture of reassurance, but Farid's heart tightened. Xiang Chu's eyes were piercing, like a hungry beast.
