The strongest basket king

Chapter 415 Final Adjustment

Chapter 415 Final Adjustment

The Nuggets are still in a backward position, why do they say they want to sound the horn of the charge.

Because the first half of an NBA game is the time to confirm the opponent's tactics and players' status, the strong teams that have already mastered the information have the opportunity to make waves in the third quarter.

The situation of the Mavericks is not much different from what the Nuggets imagined. The Nuggets also have some experience in how to deal with more blooming. The key is that they may not give the opponent's substitute too many opportunities to play.

They might be able to get a lot done before entering the rotation in the second half.

The strength of the Mavericks is that Nowitzki is a bit old, so the Nuggets took the initiative to attack in the third quarter.

Xiang Chu and Gallinari directly exploded. The current Gallinari may not be able to completely restrict Nowitzki, but Nowitzki can no longer restrain the quasi-all-star Gallinari.

The Nuggets scored a go-ahead and then expanded their lead. The Mavericks quickly fell into a passive position.

In order to seek a change, the Mavericks coach Carlisle also boldly sent in the edge insider Bernard James, but all attempts failed.

None of them can match Xiang Chu, not even Gallinari.

The Mavericks' weapon for making it to the playoffs is offense, not defense.

Their offensive burst in the first half did not achieve the expected advantage, and the situation changed.

Now they are not strong enough to resist, and they have not had a good relationship with Monta Ellis, a strong point on the outside.

Carlisle continued to deploy troops, and even took the risk of playing a small lineup.

Their role players did score some points, but it was a drop in the bucket.

Nowitzki's scoring efficiency has declined at this point. If they can't score outside, they will be swallowed up by the Nuggets. Now they feel that they are slowly failing, and there is no way to stop.

In the final quarter, Nowitzki gritted his teeth and hit a few more good shots, but the Mavericks' failure did not change.

Their defense is too poor for a strong team. They can't prevent the Nuggets' offense, and it is basically impossible to recover the score.

When the game entered the last 2 minutes, the Mavericks chose to give up.

Xiang Chu and Gallinari both scored 30+ in this game, and George Karl was also very happy after the game.

"There's no doubt that we're in playoff mode," he told reporters.

Not just the Nuggets, the Western Conference playoff teams are actually in the playoff mode, but whether the state is good or not depends on each team.

The Nuggets will play the last back-to-back next, first at home and then away.

Because the home court is the king who has no fighting spirit, the Nuggets finally chose to rest.

It is mainly because of the players who are worried about their physical condition, that is, those who have been injured. Xiang Chu is on the roster, but this time he will not start this time, which is just insurance.

Xiang Chu actually doesn't care about the starting record, which is also the result of his communication with the coaching staff.

If he can get the first place in the Western Conference, Xiang Chu doesn't mind playing one more game.

The Kings don't have Cousins, Gay, and even Collison doesn't play. In fact, the lineups of both sides are similar.

In the end, Xiang Chu sat on the bench and watched a game, but didn't really play.

Although there are some accusations from the outside world, Denver fans don't care. They hope to see the Nuggets who can do well in the playoffs.

Even if Xiang Chu, Gallinari, Knight and other players did not play, the Nuggets still easily defeated the Kings.

The mental state of the two teams is completely different.

And even if it is the strength of the team, the Nuggets are still stronger with half the team playing.

However, in back-to-back away games against the Clippers, the Nuggets will still play with all members, and the Clippers are the same. Not to mention that the ranking has not yet been determined, the training of the strong Western Conference teams before the playoffs must be treated well.

After all, every strong team in the Western Conference is likely to meet in the playoffs.

The Clippers, Rockets, Spurs, and Grizzlies are competing for the third to sixth spots in the West, so the Clippers will not only play with all their main players, but also work hard.

This time Crawford is back with full blood, and the Clippers also hope to win the game at home.

It's just that the Nuggets had a strong rotation before, which made them a little regretful.

At this time, they only want to win, and they don't think about any ghosts that are invincible.

At the beginning of the game, everyone was familiar with the routine. The Clippers were Griffin and Redick's main offense, but this time Paul distributed the ball more often, and Griffin didn't take care of the organization so much.

The Nuggets still cooperate with Xiang Chu on the offensive end at the third and fourth positions. In fact, Redick's defense is very average, but the Nuggets' second positions are all pitchers. If they want to attack aggressively, Middleton and Gallinari are stronger.

However, Knight and Fournier can score points if they have the opportunity. The Nuggets' starting lineup can be said to be very offensive, and they cannot play a single position.

Both teams are defensive but mainly offensive, so it is directly an offensive battle.

When everyone has physical strength and the hand feeling is not too bad, no one will be able to guard the other. After all, the rules of the basketball game are biased towards the offensive end.

But when it came to the rotation, it was the away Nuggets who took advantage.

The bench lineups of both sides are not bad, but they are much less stable than the main lineup.

There is no strong point to attract defensive attention, and scoring is no longer so easy.

In fact, neither side's bench lineup played very well, but they both have strong sixth men.

Lu Wei and Crawford have also faced off many times, each of which has its own outcome, but this time it is clear that Williams is better.

I don't know if Crawford hasn't fully recovered yet, anyway, he always feels less powerful when shooting.

Rivers also held back, did not replace the main players quickly, and gave time to the substitute players.

After all, although Williams is powerful, he is also alone. It is impossible to directly widen the gap too much, but it just puts the Nuggets in the leading position.

The opponent is not in a hurry, and the Nuggets are not in a hurry. They all value this game, but they will definitely not be desperate. The competition before the playoffs will have some scruples.

If there is a situation at this time, it would be stupid. After all, for a playoff team like theirs, the performance in the playoffs is the most important thing.

After the main players of both sides came on the field, their performances were still half-baked.

At halftime, the Nuggets also firmly gained the lead.

This situation is definitely beneficial to the Nuggets. If Crawford can't get back to his form in the second half, the chances of the Clippers winning the game are very small.

Rely on others to explode, please, if there are strong points, the mobile phone will definitely give priority to them, and the Clippers have several strong points, the Nuggets are too familiar with them, and their chances of bursting under targeted defense are no more than role players. More likely.

However, the game is not a game of probability.

Whoever can turn probability into victory is the successful team.

In the second half of the game, the Nuggets still have to concentrate, grasp the details, be cautious and bold, so that they can hold their destiny in their own hands.
