Chapter 414 Top 8 in the West

Chapter 414

After defeating the Clippers, the Nuggets had three days to adjust, and of course Xiang Chu was with his wife and children.

Under the effect of dollars, the hospital's service is very good, but Olivia still doesn't like it.

Two days after the baby came out, Xiang Chu took Olivia back home, but within a week, the hospital would provide door-to-door service.

In fact, Olivia has good physical fitness and recovered really quickly.

When she was in the hospital, she was running around on the Internet, and Xiang Chu had to temporarily limit her online time.

So this guy was in a bad mood, and Xiang Chu basically became a servant when he was at home.

At this time, the privilege of pregnant women is still there. After a while, Xiang Chu plans to spank the big and small together to see who dares to torment.

Xiang Chu spent more time at home, but he still didn't let go of the training.

Think of a way to work harder now, and he will be able to do more in the future. He is very clear-headed.

In the last five games, they have to meet the Warriors once, and the Nuggets must maintain the No. [-] position in the Western Conference without excessive consumption.

That's right, they once again became the No. [-] in the Western Conference. After the Warriors lost to the Spurs, they lost to the Pelicans. The Nuggets also won once.

They won't mind being No. [-] in the West, but they won't go all out for it either.

Successfully defending their title in the playoffs is their pursuit this season. After a few days of adjustments, the Nuggets feel that they are in good shape.

At this time, it is the salted fish Lakers who came to Denver to challenge them. The Lakers have been unlucky since that big deal, and now they have nothing to desire.

They also don't have any good rookies to cultivate, but in line with the idea of ​​whether they have a date or not, they are all young people who are playing now, and there may be one or two valuable ones.

Although it's an away game, and it's still a group of young people who don't seem to have much talent, the Lakers started off very well, and the offensive end can be described as smooth and smooth.

However, their defensive end is also smooth, and there is no hindrance to the Nuggets.

Xiang Chu is a little surprised, why many weak teams can perform well when they encounter the Nuggets.

The life of clocking out of get off work after three quarters is also somewhat this season, but it seems to be a little less for a strong team of their level.

However, it is certain that a group of young people played chaotically, so it looked very lively, and the Lakers also scored a lot of points, but they were still behind when they looked at the scoreboard.

The Nuggets didn't have much of a lead, and the Lakers' bench performed very well.

It should be said that there is no obvious difference between their main force and substitute strength. These young people also want to express themselves, and some of them still need to find a job in the summer.

But the offensive continuity of the young Nuggets was obviously much worse than that of the Nuggets, so in the second quarter, the Nuggets became the leading side.

This is also something that can't be helped. They are not stable enough on the offensive end, but they are very stable on the defensive end, which is the level at the bottom of the league.

Not to mention Xiang Chu, the Nuggets have many players who can tear apart the opponent's defense.

The first half can probably be regarded as the two sides coming and going, if you don't look at the second half of the second quarter, the Nuggets have completely controlled the situation.

But in the third quarter, the Lakers couldn't resist at all. Enthusiasm alone is not enough in the NBA. Without good tactics and talent, the Lakers were defeated very quickly.

After three quarters, Xiang Chu enjoyed it again after clocking out of get off work. This feeling is still very good, especially when everyone is cheering at home.

Home fans don't care how good the game is, they're happy for their home team to win easily, especially since the Nuggets can take it easy a little bit before the playoffs.

It is easy to deal with a salty team like the Lakers, but not all the opponents of the Nuggets in the last few games are so easy.

The ranking of the Western Conference is still confusing. The top eight teams are not easy. The Nuggets still have no way of knowing who their opponents will be in the first round of the playoffs, so they have to play the previous games well.

There is no rest, unless the Warriors lose again unexpectedly.

However, George Karl will try his best to control the playing time of the main players. They need to keep the players from fatigue as much as possible while maintaining the record.

On April 4, the Mavericks came to Denver, and the Mavericks are now fixed in the eighth place in the West.

If their current record remains unchanged, the Mavericks may have to face the Nuggets.

To be honest, the Mavericks do not want to face the defending champion in the first round of the playoffs. The Nuggets are too strong. In contrast, the Warriors, who have not yet proved themselves in the playoffs, obviously feel easier to deal with.

In order not to face the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, the Mavericks felt that they had to win this round.

The Mavericks actually restrained the Nuggets to some extent, if Nowitzki was younger.

They have a meat shield, an offensive fourth position, a second position with the ball, and a rotation player like Stoudemire, but they seem to be a little bit worse in all aspects.

It is because of this that their record is not ideal.

It's a bit difficult to play a series, maybe they will have a chance in one game.

At the beginning of the game, Nowitzki showed his skills directly. He is now also a player who relies on short-term bursts to make a living.

Although Nowitzki is no longer at his peak, his type of fourth position can indeed play the Nuggets.

It's just that the Mavericks' defense is a bit weak, which Chandler can't save.

Including Knight and Fournier, all the players in the Nuggets felt good. The two sides immediately launched a scoring battle, but the Mavericks were not durable enough.

Nowitzki quickly languished after two hits, and the Nuggets took the opportunity to take advantage.

But the Mavericks guard Devin Harris, who came off the bench, performed very well. After he came up, the Mavericks' offensive power kept up.

And Barea, anyway, after entering the rotation, the Mavericks broke out with a strong combat effectiveness.

Bloom more, the Mavericks are very imposing this time.

After Xiang Chu went down, Stoudemire, who was signed by the Mavericks during the season, also broke out.

The Knicks laid him off because his salary was too high, not because he couldn't play at all, and the Mavericks can be regarded as claiming a combat power.

After the Mavericks took the lead again, the two sides went to the main lineup again.

The Mavericks' bench is blooming more, but the main lineup can only play Dirk Nowitzki. Monta Ellis is a bit hard for the time being, so the Nuggets catch up with the score again.

It can be said that the Mavericks achieved some goals, and they did catch them by surprise.

But the Nuggets were able to recover the score every time, and their confidence in winning slowly sank.

They have played better than expected, why can't they lead by a big score, can they really win.

During the intermission, the Mavericks, who were temporarily in the lead, felt confused.

And the Nuggets on that side have already started planning to blow the horn of charge.
