Chapter 404 Duel of Kings
"It's really exciting. Overlord is so tough. The last loss was really a mistake."
"I don't really say that, Curry is also very strong, okay?"
"Nonsense, only shots so far from the basket, the Warriors' style of play can't be successful."
"Men should score in the confrontation, and dominating both offense and defense is the way to be a superstar."
When the Nuggets played against the Warriors, it was broadcast live across the United States, and similar discussions appeared in many places.
In many places in modern society, the younger generation no longer needs to worry about food and clothing. They have more spiritual pursuits, including supporting their favorite football stars to kill all directions.
In the third quarter, the Nuggets' defense against the Warriors was more targeted, and the efficiency of Curry and Thompson also dropped slightly.
However, Green seized the opportunity and hit two good shots, and the Warriors' overall offense did not change much.
But they still couldn't guard against Xiang Chu, and the match between the two sides was fierce and tense.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Warriors made adjustments. They played Bogut but did not replace the center. They decided to play their best small lineup in the second half.
Before the start of the game, the Warriors adjusted their tactics because of Xiang Chu, who has always been the nemesis of the small lineup.
But they changed their style of play and the score was still behind. During the intermission, the coaching staff had to show the best mode of the Warriors in the second half.
The restraint of the lineup also depends on the players and their performance. In fact, restraint is mutual.
As long as the three of them are separated and then increase their speed, they might be able to cancel Xiang Chu's card.
However, things are not as simple as they imagined.
Draymond Green performed very well when he assisted in the defense, but his height problem was completely exposed when the main defense was Xiang Chu. Xiang Chu directly hit two of these buddies and caused the opponent's fourth foul.
What to do, the Warriors' small lineup can play without Green, but the defense is useless.
Compared with ordinary big men, Xiang Chu is really special. His offensive efficiency is too high.
When other teams encounter such a situation, if the inside cannot keep scoring, the Warriors will control the rhythm.
But it's impossible for Xiang Chu. Even if the Warriors restrict him from receiving the ball, they can't protect the rebounds well.
With his personal strength, Xiang Chu would break the rhythm of the warriors.
The Warriors didn't choose to change, nor did they replace Green, they just went all out, and they couldn't win with the Nuggets in a normal lineup.
Most of the reason for killing the Nuggets last time was that the Nuggets themselves were out of order.
The key is that they can lose this game. In the current situation in the Western Conference, the number one in the Western Conference is really not that important. The key is who the opponent is.
The Nuggets must be the biggest enemy of the Warriors in the playoffs. Today they have to take a look at how strong the Nuggets are. Even if they lose this game, they have to take a closer look at the Nuggets.
Then when they meet in the playoffs, they will know how to fight.
Xiang Chu broke out with all his strength, and the Nuggets had a chance to lead to double digits, but the X factor also appeared on the Warriors' side. Their backup guard Livingston hit several good shots in a row.
The high-efficiency post-up of the guard was also unexpected by the Nuggets.
However, Xiang Chu did not rest for so long in the second half. Just when the Warriors had a chance to chase the score, Xiang Chu played to help the team control the situation again.
Only half a minute later, the Warriors also replaced Curry.
The performance of the Splash Brothers before, Thompson may have been slightly better, but at the end of the quarter, Curry showed a leadership temperament, with a murderous look on his face.
"Three-pointer, Curry hit another three-pointer, and he was at least two steps away from the three-point line."
"A wonderful breakthrough. Curry completed the score head-on. He not only can shoot three-pointers, but also has first-class guard skills."
"Curry's grasp of the timing is too good. His seemingly thin body hides great energy. Can the Warriors overtake the score at the last moment?"
"Xiang Chu didn't allow it, he dunked again under the basket."
"Xiang Chu has returned to the three-point line...It's unbelievable that he still has the ability to assist defense covering the three-second zone. His movement speed is faster than everyone imagined. His judgment is really accurate."
"Middleton hit a three-pointer! The Warriors shouldn't forget the others."
"Curry has scored 40 points. His performance in the first three quarters can only be said to be normal, but at the most critical time, he completely exploded and Knight was completely blown."
"2+1, Xiang Chu will score 40 points if he makes an additional penalty."
"The referee blows the whistle, Curry gets three free throws, and the Warriors still have a chance."
"The key offensive rebound, Xiang Chu got it all done in the same way, and there is not much time left for the Warriors."
"Oh, my God, Xiang Chu helped defend beyond the three-point line. He seemed to know that Curry would make a choice. Curry's ball was too difficult, and the Warriors fell short."
The game ended in a tense atmosphere. The Nuggets narrowly beat the Warriors by 4 points, taking the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference for the first time this season.
In this game, Curry scored 43+10, while Xiang Chu scored 42+20.
In the monster-like duel, Xiang Chu led the Nuggets to the last laugh.
Not just the key victory in the regular season, the two games against the Warriors, the Nuggets have a deeper understanding of them, and they will be more calm when they meet next time.
Xiang Chu said in an interview after the game: "They are an impressive team, and I am looking forward to the next matchup. With opponents like them, we will become stronger and stronger."
"The goal of the Nuggets this season? Hehe, we have never changed. Please ask something else. I can tell you that we are already preparing for the playoffs."
Curry said, "This is an incredible game. I felt great at the time. Give it another chance. I promise to hit that ball."
"We've been leading for a long time during the season, we also know there will be challenges, we have to accept things when they happen, and then we can win them back. This season, we have found the knack of winning, we have a post-season With the experience of the game, we will get better and better."
After the game, Xiang Chu knew that the attention of this game was greater than he imagined.
His popularity has risen rapidly, and now he is not far from the requirement to upgrade his magic skills.
The Nuggets have only temporarily become No. [-] in the Western Conference. They are not stable. Next, they must try their best to play every game well and store their status for the playoffs.
In addition, Olivia's due date is getting closer.
The two called Xibel over again. Since they came here to have fun, they must also have a share when they need help. With their own sister, Xiang Chu can prepare for the playoffs with peace of mind.
In the team, Nurkic has recovered well, and the Nuggets' replacement problem has improved a lot.
As the playoffs get closer, the situation in the league has once again undergone subtle changes.
The Nuggets hope that the Western Conference rankings will develop towards their expectations.
