The strongest basket king

Chapter 354 Substitute Group

Chapter 354 Substitute Group

If they just can't restrain Xiang Chu, the Bulls can comfort themselves that at least they are ahead.

But when it came to the rotation period, Louis Williams, Chandler, and Faried hit the Nuggets, and the score was overturned.

Bulls side Brooks also performed well, but the defensive end is worse than Williams.

After playing again, Gasol did not have the strength of the first quarter, and his style of play will not be particularly accurate after a lot of confrontation. Let alone Xiang Chu sits at the basket, most of his offenses end in the middle distance.

Butler is still strong here. Xiang Chu, a student at the same level, has made a leap in performance every season. Up to now, he has initially possessed the strength of the team's boss.

The Nuggets' strategy is still to take turns to consume. Their defensive awareness is not so strong, but they dare to use their bodies.

They have a lot of players, so Middleton, Chandler and Aminu can take turns.

Now it seems that signing Aminu is still good. When encountering a team with a strong striker, he can go up to the top round, allowing Middleton to focus more on the offensive end.

After the Bulls scored fewer points, the Nuggets steadily expanded their lead to double digits.

The Bulls are stronger offensively this year, but they are not a team with a strong offensive like the Nuggets.

When their defense can't play its best role, the result is often crushed to death step by step by a top team like the Nuggets.

It's not just the lack of Noah. The Bulls have never thought about dealing with a big center like Xiang Chu in building their lineup in the past few years, but they are an Eastern team, and considering how to break out of the Eastern Conference is the top priority.

Unlike the western teams, now they have to recruit a few centers to fight against Xiang Chu, just like facing O'Neal back then, if no one can stand up, they are courting death.

At halftime, the Nuggets led by 11 points.

But honestly, could and could have done better, both offensively and defensively.

Of course, the opponent will also have the same idea. A team with a strong desire to win will feel this way when they get the analysis report of the first half during the halftime break.

In fact, no team can do it perfectly, but anyone can do better if they want to.

In the second half, the Bulls switched the starting lineup because Rose was feeling unwell again.

Rose's injury will always be a pain for the Bulls, and repeated injuries will also hurt the team.

However, the Bulls also have enough spare tires at the No. [-] position, and Hinrich will be on top immediately.

In fact, Hinrich played better against the Nuggets. Rose's current physical condition, even if he breaks through, can't pass Xiang Chu's level. It's better for Hinrich to shoot outside honestly.

After the Bulls replaced Rose, they played much better than in the first half. Not only did the individual shoot, Hinrich's passing also seemed much more reasonable.

Rose is an attacking guard. His passing is different from traditional organizations. It depends on the player's offensive power, that is, breaking through the ball. When he cannot perform well, he will conflict with other attacking points of the team.

The Bulls' change was a bit unexpected for the Nuggets, but they still didn't suffer in terms of score, and the Bulls didn't solve their defensive problems.

When Xiang Chu continued to be strong, Ballstow quickly made five fouls. The Bulls wanted to continue to strengthen their offense, so they let Gasol play the center. As a result, Mirotic did not perform well in the first half, and Gasol was at the center. was also crucified.

On the other hand, for the Nuggets, Knight and Gallinari also played well when Xiang Chu had a strong attack. The Bulls played lively in front of them, but in the end they fell behind even more.

But in the rotation time of the second half, the Bulls still played well.

Brooks is also a bit spiritual in attack, and his shots are very accurate.

The Bulls once chased to single digits at the beginning of the final quarter, but when the main Nuggets came back, everything returned to the previous mode.

The Bulls are still very energetic. They played double guards at the last moment and asked Butler to play at the fourth position, hoping to recover the score.

Butler is also very competitive, no matter who he faces, he can hit singles and score more than 30.

But before him, Xiang Chu also scored 30+.

At the end of the game, it was a scoring battle between the two.

Xiang Chu admitted that Butler was not at a disadvantage at this time, but the Nuggets were already ahead, so the Bulls were always under pressure in the team's competition.

In their lineup, only Brooks has been trying three-pointers from the outside. Unfortunately, when the Bulls needed to explode in the last few minutes, he only hit one.

In this way, the Nuggets easily won five consecutive victories.

With a winning streak, the Nuggets feel like they're back to normal these days.

In fact, the change is not that big, but the outside world will not pay attention to many details, only the outcome is the most intuitive.

It's really hard to say what winning percentage the Nuggets have now if they encounter a restrained team.

But the Nuggets players don't have time to think about anything now, they are about to fly away to play back-to-back.

This kind of game is the most uncomfortable. Xiang Chu can adjust on the field now, but he will also be a little tired.

Relatively speaking, back-to-back at home is nothing. The key is that it consumes more time on the road and is not friendly to athletes.

The Nuggets played the Suns back-to-back. The Suns didn't do much in the summer, except for the contract extension, which was to sign and then trade for Thomas Jr.

However, Thomas Jr. can't play this time, and the Suns are basically the lineup of last season.

Thomas Jr. can't go to the Suns bench and lose firepower, but it's not necessarily true that his strength is damaged. There are also many players in the Suns. Gerald Green and Tucker can be scoring points on the bench.

At the beginning of the new season, the Suns played well, and they did the same last season. It depends on whether they can persist.

The Suns' starting lineup is still dominated by Dragic and Bledsoe, the backcourt partner. In addition, the Morris brothers have entered the starting lineup, plus Plumlee, which is a very young lineup like the Nuggets.

And this lineup, while maintaining the offensive power, can also take into account the defense against Xiang Chu. The young Suns also hope to defeat the Nuggets, the big devil.

When the game really started, the script didn't go exactly as the Suns had planned.

They are not afraid of the internal combination confrontation, but the rebounds are a bit poor. They blocked the pass a few times and Xiang Chu grabbed the offensive rebound and scored, which made them lose their temper.

But the Suns' offense is also good. Dragic and Bledsoe played better than Knight and Fournier.

As for Middleton and Gallinari, they were not stable enough during this period, and the Nuggets' offense did not overwhelm each other.

But the Nuggets have good offensive power off the bench during this period. Chandler, Dunleavy, and Mozgov all performed well, and Louis Williams is even more outstanding.

Even Green, Tucker and Alex Len played well on the Suns side, but they are still a little worse than the Nuggets.
