Chapter 345 The Most Difficult Player to Guard

"I can't believe it. Xiang Chu rushed in so abruptly, and Marion stretched out his hand until he couldn't hold it. It's too strong."

"The dunk was so powerful that Xiang Chu raised his head to the sky and roared loudly. The Cavaliers couldn't stop it."

"The Cavaliers chose to attack quickly, and James faced the defense...and went in!"

"Xiang Chu and James can be said to be fighting with gods. They are the kind of players who cannot be restricted."

"Time is running out. The Cavaliers didn't choose to foul immediately. They planned to defend first."

"The Nuggets still trust Xiang Chu. They handed the ball to Xiang Chu. Xiang Chu stood on the three-point line and went in without moving a step. His two big hands firmly grasped the basketball. Seeing the passage of time, the Cavaliers had no choice but to Interview foul play."

"I made two free throws, and I feel that Xiang Chu's free throws are more stable."

"There are only 10 seconds left, and the Cavaliers are 3 points behind again. Should they choose two fast points or three points? In fact, there is still time to choose fast two points."

"No chance, the Nuggets defended well, the ball returned to James' hands, and James took a step back... a three-pointer!"

"It's a pity that it was a little short. The ball was tapped by Xiang Chu, and the basket was in chaos."

"Xiang Chu still got the basketball, and the Cavaliers stepped forward to foul the first time, and the whistle sounded... No, it wasn't a whistle blowing foul. The whole game was over, and the Cavaliers' fouls were still a little slower."

The Cavaliers lost again, and James, who won a quasi-triple-double, was also criticized wildly. He was questioned that he had no fighting spirit, and he seemed to be perfunctory.

There are even remarks that James stopped using some drugs banned by the league and affected his body.

After the game, James also expressed his opinion, "We didn't play well enough, but I also hope that everyone will be patient with us. I hope that the whole team will participate. This is why sometimes I pass the ball more."

Blatter also said that James played this way for the team's running-in.

George Karl was asked if the Nuggets' tactics were too single. George Karl sneered. He said: "I have stated many times that our tactics are not single. We don't win the game by luck. Giving it to Xiang Chu is the most effective tactic."

Xiang Chu praised the team, "The new season has never been so easy, but we have worked hard together to overcome many difficulties. We work together to play a good defense and share the ball. We are very focused. I am very happy about it."

The Nuggets basically don't need to run in this season, but fans have different expectations of them, and the situation will be different.

The current physical condition of the players is different. Even if Xiang Chu leads the training, the effect is not as good as expected.

There was also a small accident, and Belinelli had to rest for a few games with a sprained ankle.

Belinelli is just a supplement to the Nuggets, and it doesn't have a great impact on the combat power, but it deserves the team's vigilance, and Xiang Chu has always been worried about the team's injuries.

However, he focused on Gallinari before, and now he feels that many people in the team are not particularly physically fit, and outside shooters may also be injured under high-intensity confrontation.

In this regard, Xiang Chu still talked to the coaching staff. He belongs to Kaihang and is very strong, but he doesn't know the ability of other people. If they want to defend the title, they can't have some injuries.

Minor injuries at this time are not bad, and they can be adjusted in time. After the All-Stars, there must be no accidents, and prevention must be carried out from now on.

On November 11, the Nuggets visit Portland.

Although the Trail Blazers did not make any major additions in the summer, they maintained their lineup and are still a strong challenger in the West.

The point is that Lillard has grown for another year, and the combination of him and Aldridge is still relatively optimistic.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is still the same as last season, and it is definitely a lineup with both offense and defense in the league.

And Aldridge is definitely the most difficult fourth position for the Nuggets to restrict.

At the start of the game, the Blazers playing at home were obviously in better condition.

Batum and Matthews are two points, both offensive and defensive are threats to the Nuggets.

The main reason is that they have the ability to hold the ball. The Blazers have five starters, that is, Lopez at the fifth position cannot play with the ball, so it is difficult for the Nuggets to defend when the Blazers are smooth.

What's a little troublesome is that although the Nuggets have a good start record, many of their players have not found the feeling, and this time they also let their opponents take the lead.

Except for Xiang Chu's steady suppression of Lopez, the other four positions of the team do not take advantage.

And when it came to the rotation period, the Blazers' new aid Kaman performed very well, and the Nuggets' substitute insiders suffered a lot.

In fact, both Fournier and Williams are in good form.

Especially Williams, players who can hold the ball get up very quickly.

But his weakness is also obvious, his defense is not very good, and he often explodes with others.

If it weren't for this, the Nuggets couldn't trade him last season.

In the second quarter, Aldridge played better and better. Neither Gallinari nor Faried could limit the opponent. In addition, Matthews had hit 5 three-pointers.

Fournier and Williams are a problem, but the defensive end is not good enough, so they score while their opponents are also scoring, and the Blazers still have the lead.

But it is also because the Nuggets can score, and the Blazers have not completely opened the score.

The difference of 8 points in the half is not too much, as long as they play a few good defenses, the score can catch up.

But there is a problem. Today, the Blazers rely on their personal ability to score from the outside. The Nuggets' defense can't be said to be out of position. They can only admire their opponents and feel too good.

The current defense of the Nuggets is already above the league average, but it is difficult to improve it. Not only the team, but also the requirements for individual defensive ability are getting higher and higher.

So sometimes players rely on their personal ability to score points on the Nuggets' defense.

In the third quarter, Aldridge hit a three-pointer at the beginning, putting more pressure on the Nuggets' defense.

But they still worked very hard, and even Gallinari, who had not fully recovered, was not afraid of confrontation.

In this quarter, it can be said that the Nuggets are relying on hard work and rebounding to grind against the Trail Blazers.

After halfway through the three quarters, the Nuggets began to chase points.

By the end of the third quarter, they were almost tied.

But the Blazers' rotation players gave them another hammer. Xiang Chu's old teammate and the Blazers' new aid Blake hit a three-pointer, and then the Blazers sophomore McClum hit a three-pointer to close the gap. .

At this moment, Xiang Chu really had the urge to play on the field, and he could see the efforts of his teammates.

But in the end he calmed down. Their goal was not to win a game, and he couldn't make his teammates and coaches worry.

Also, the rest of the team needs to learn how to deal with similar situations.
