Chapter 388 Wonderful Scenery
George Karl was worried that the Celtics' high-confrontation style of play would hurt Gallinari, and Faried was used at the last moment. This determination proved to be correct.
Gallinari didn't feel good this time, and Farid is obviously more suitable for the opponent's rhythm.
He helped Xiang Chu dominate the rebounds at the last moment of the game and played the Celtics without temper.
The Nuggets won back-to-back, and let those teams who made up their minds understand that it really depends on luck to win a game with the Nuggets.
Now at most the Warriors can blow the game, other teams really dare not say more.
And the Nuggets are not easy now, they have a day off and they are going to play away games.
On February 2, they came to Detroit.
The Pistons are still in a half-dead state this season. As a young team, they have always wanted to equip the team with a good guard inside.
Both Drummond and Monroe seem to be full of talent. Although Monroe had a contract extension problem in the summer, their team shouldn't be so bad.
Trading to Ty Lawson doesn't seem like a worthwhile option now.
Ty Lawson's strength has declined again this season, and the Pistons' patience with him is coming to an end.
Now this buddy doesn't feel much when he meets the Nuggets. This Nuggets is completely different from the team he has been with.
The Pistons still have a lot of insiders. In addition to the two starters, there are two meat shields and one that can be pulled out to shoot on the bench. It's just that the two meat shields are a bit short, and it's definitely not easy to top Xiangchu.
The Pistons played very well in the first quarter, and Monroe had an advantage at the fourth position.
Now playing the Nuggets outside is really not as easy as the [-]th position. The Nuggets' overall defense is still doing well, unless the outside is someone who can hold the ball and can shoot.
Monroe played well and the Nuggets didn't panic, they just kept consuming.
If necessary, they can go to the Twin Towers, but the first half was just a trial stage.
In the regular season, players at the level of the Nuggets don't need to work hard at all.
So sometimes teams that have played against each other in the regular season will find that their opponents are completely different when they meet in the playoffs. It is because some teams still have the purpose of training in the regular season, unlike the playoffs that are all about winning.
Only teams with capital can do this, and only a few strong teams in the league have this qualification.
In addition, the Nuggets are not very successful outside the three-point line, so the Nuggets are not so worried.
Both teams are strong at one point, and the others are relatively mediocre.
The Nuggets must be Xiang Chu, all inside players score points, and the scores of both sides are not rising fast.
In this case, to grasp the situation, you must seize an opportunity, and the Nuggets waited silently.
During the rotation period, the two teams also played inextricably. The Nuggets stood out from Meeks and Augustin, but the two sides mainly made achievements in the CIC, and the overall rhythm was relatively slow.
The Nuggets can also play fast, but they are not as proficient in switching between speed and slow as the Spurs. The slow pace is their relatively stable rhythm. If the Pistons want to play this way, the Nuggets will definitely accompany them.
In the first half, Xiang Chu completely suppressed Drummond. Drummond is already in the third grade, but his offensive methods have not changed much. When Xiang Chu couldn't eat his body, he knelt down.
However, because of the explosion of Meeks during the rotation period, the Pistons still have a slight lead.
At halftime, the Nuggets fine-tuned their defense.
Mainly because of Monroe's point, if his efficiency continues to maintain, the Nuggets will also go to the Twin Towers.
There is a problem, sacrificing a little outside attack is not a problem for them at all.
Although the Pistons are leading from the outside, the Nuggets think their defense is still good. They mainly care about three-pointers. If the opponent continues to make mid-range shots, they will not make too many adjustments.
But the defensive attention will still be tilted for a while, and the role players will be suppressed if they come up. Without enough tough means, no role players can keep scoring. This aspect has always been the domain of stars.
Monroe is really not the kind of particularly tough insider. After the Nuggets continued to strengthen their confrontation, Monroe was a little bit unable to hold on. He also made two kills, but both made two free throws.
The Nuggets quickly overtook the score, and the Pistons were not slow to react, and immediately focused their offense on the outside.
Sophomore Pope played well, but the Pistons still couldn't keep up with the Nuggets until Augustin showed off on the bench.
The Nuggets stared at Meeks this time, but they didn't expect another backup guard on the other side to show off.
Augustin hit 2 consecutive three-pointers to help the Pistons stabilize the situation, making them feel that they still have a chance to win the Nuggets.
Any team is interested in winning the championship team, even if it is a bad team, it will seriously fight against the Nuggets in order to cultivate rookies, let alone the Pistons are not considered a bad team.
However, the Pistons' outburst was also temporary. After the Nuggets' defensive attention passed, the situation returned to normal.
So at the beginning of the final quarter, the Nuggets once again took the initiative on the court.
At this time, the head coach of the Pistons, Stan Van Gundy, was very entangled, what kind of decisive lineup should be used at the last moment.
Drummond's defense was better, but he was completely suppressed by Xiang Chu. Not only could he not score, but he couldn't even grab a few rebounds. He could no longer see the effect on the court.
But without him defending Xiang Chu, can the Pistons' defense hold up?
In the end, the Nuggets helped them make a choice.
After Xiang Chu played, he and Gallinari scored 10 points together. Seeing that the score was about to be completely opened, Van Gundy chose an offensive lineup of one big and four small, with Monroe on the inside.
But this lineup did not help them chase points. Meeks and Caron Butler all missed the three-point line. Instead, the Nuggets hit a three-pointer again.
When the time entered the last minute, the Nuggets' lead reached double digits, and the Pistons also felt that the general situation was over.
They still chose to struggle and made two foul tactics. After Knight scored all the free throws, the Nuggets calmly won the game.
The Pistons won all three away games, but the Warriors lost to the Eagles during the Eastern Expedition. The gap between the two sides is only half a game. Xiang Chu can't wait to meet the Warriors again.
According to this form, they and the Warriors may be locked in the top two in the Western Conference. If the Warriors also have this kind of fighting power in the playoffs, they will eventually meet.
The next game should be regarded as a preview of the playoffs.
Back in Denver, Xiang Chu was going to stare at Olivia again.
Olivia is already planning a trip to New York, and the All-Star Weekend is getting closer.
This guy's belly is getting bigger and bigger, Xiang Chu's plan is to let her stay at home obediently.
So, he saw a miracle.
"No, no, I don't want..." Are you afraid that the big belly woman is rolling on the sofa.
Xiang Chu really wanted to photograph her, but in the end he compromised. It seems that this time he has to spend more money, as long as his wife is happy.
