The strongest basket king

Chapter 358

Chapter 358

"The Blazers haven't thrown in the towel yet, and Aldridge hits again."

"Gallinari shot from outside the three-point line...and missed, but Xiang Chu got the rebound and dunked again. Lopez didn't react at all. There is no suspense about the outcome."

"The Blazers actually still have a chance in this game, if they are more accurate from the three-point line."

"Xiang Chu is not the highest score in the game, and it is actually relatively rare."

The Nuggets beat the Trail Blazers strongly, won nine consecutive victories, and also surpassed the Nuggets to become fifth in the Western Conference, only one step away from the fourth in the Western Conference.

What they expect is to have a direct confrontation with the previous team.

After winning the game, Xiang Chu became a little more modest, saying that the regular season is still very long, and the team is not eager for a temporary victory. Everything they do is to be more competitive in the playoffs.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with the Nuggets talking about the playoffs shortly after the start of the season. Strength means confidence.

At home, Olivia finally came back from playing around, and brought Xiang Chu a bunch of useful and useless gifts.

"Honey, you're finally back. The dishes outside are not as good as your cooking."

As soon as he got home, Xiang Chu saw the girl lying lazily on the sofa blinking at him.

It seems that after surfing outside, he didn't forget to grind her.

Now that the food delivery with exquisite taste can't satisfy this product, should Xiang Chu be happy or should be happy.

Xiang Chu went over immediately, and pinched his already fat little face before speaking.

Not to mention, I haven't seen it for a few days, Xiang Chu still misses this feeling quite a bit.

If you want to eat the meals he cooked by himself, you have to pay enough interest.

Olivia despises her very much, but it's useless to resist, and it's useless to be angry, anyway, it can be coaxed after a while.

"In the future, our family of three will go outside to play together."

"Hmph, who is with your family of three... I'm really hungry!"

The warm time at home is still necessary, and Xiang Chu is not a real robot.

However, there is not much time to spend with his family during the season. Two days later, Xiang Chu went away with the team again.

They are playing against the Wizards this time, and they are three consecutive guests in the East.

The Wizards started the season well and are now second in the Eastern Conference behind the Raptors.

The situation in the East is that several young teams have rushed to the front, which is very different from the expectations of the fans.

No matter what happened in the summer, no matter what the lineup looks like on the surface, many things are really unclear until the official start of the game.

Then we actually played the game, and everything seemed to make sense again.

Emperors who know the ball usually talk about it after the results come out, and those who speak early are likely to be slapped in the face.

In fact, the Wizards didn't make any big moves in the summer. They mainly renewed the main lineup, so the high-quality striker Ariza was released, and the Pierce they signed was too old.

But their record is better than last year's for the time being thanks to improved defense.

The Wizards' starters this season, Pierce at the third position and Humphries at the fourth position are both new players, but the team's running-in has been fine so far. It can be said that it is inseparable from Wall's organizational ability.

At the beginning of the game, Xiang Chu suppressed the opponent's insiders.

The Wizards' choice was also very straightforward. Use Humphries to assist in the defense, and Xiang Chu will flank when he gets the ball.

It's just that in this case, there was something wrong with the Nuggets' outside line, and only Middleton's shot was accurate.

With Middleton and Xiang Chu here, the Nuggets will not score less.

The key is that Wall broke out on the Wizards side, and Pierce, who is already a veteran, also played well at the start. They took the lead amidst the cheers of the home crowd.

After entering the rotation period, Wizards substitute Rasoul Butler played better than any Nuggets rotation player.

This buddy is playing hard for the Nuggets, and he played very well once before.

Of course, the Nuggets' defense at the second position is also a bit weak, which caused the Wizards' main substitutes to explode.

In the second quarter, the Wizards played more confidently. Humphries, who hadn't scored a point in the first quarter, suddenly broke out and scored in double figures in a single quarter.

This kind of unexpected situation was feared during the game, and the Nuggets didn't expect it at all.

Their targeted defense can solve the problem, but the score lag caused by the previous has reached double digits. The Nuggets were in high spirits before coming to the away game, but they did not expect to be hit in the head now.

During the intermission, George Karl also spoke very seriously about the team's problems in the first half.

Defense is one aspect, but more importantly, his offense has not kept up.

It's not just a shooter problem, Lou Williams' inconsistency is back.

He was in good form in the first few games, and the fans will feel like the season finale, but when he hits the iron continuously, the coach should cover his forehead.

Typical sixth men have similar problems. They control the ball during the rotation period, but the overall situation is not so strong. If the touch is not good, the entire team will be affected.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets focused on stability, and their defense was more targeted. They would rather let the Wizards' double guns play than allow the X factor to appear.

The Wizards' two guns are not so powerful in scoring.

After the defense improved, the Nuggets gradually took the initiative, and the score gap between the two teams gradually narrowed.

After entering the rotation, Williams reduced his singles, Chandler began to play, and everything was moving in a direction that was beneficial to the Nuggets.

But what I didn't expect was that another Wizards substitute, Kevin Seraphim, broke out again.

The fourth position, nothing wrong with it, is the weak link of the Nuggets' defense.

The Wizards team is really a bit evil, and they were the same in the playoffs last season. Different players always jumped out and broke out, making the opponent's defense exhausted.

Four of them have exploded in this game, and Wall is still playing soy sauce.

Their shooting percentage in this game is too high. Bill has hit 4 three-pointers, and two of them were completed against the defense. The Nuggets are like a basket with a cover.

And they have Wall to distribute the ball, and they are very stable.

After Xiang Chu played again in the final quarter, he also led the team to chase a wave of points, but at this time the gap between the two sides was already a bit big, and it was too late in time.

The Nuggets' nine-game winning streak came to an unexpected end, and the Western Conference's ranking was once again overwhelmed by the Trail Blazers.

Xiang Chu said helplessly in an interview after the game, "They played very well. They caught our flaws and seized every opportunity."

"Losing means that we didn't play well enough. This is a spur to us. We have to go through this if we want to defend the title. If some players are still immersed in the glory of last season, we will be farther and farther away from our goal."

"Guys, we gotta do better."

Taking the initiative to admit mistakes is also a technical job. When Xiang Chu said this, many fans were not easy to criticize, and he would speak to motivate them, but he was not just talking.
