The strongest basket king

Chapter 436 Do Better

Chapter 436 Do Better

Curry has really upgraded this season, and he was just a more distinctive All-Star player before.

Now, he alone can withstand the Nuggets on the offensive end, at least on the offensive end, he is at the same level as Xiang Chu and James.

It's just that in the first game of the playoffs between the two teams, the Nuggets still had concerns and did not resolutely attack.

Now the score between the two teams is tight, and it will be a decisive battle at the end of the quarter, and Xiang Chu is already gearing up.

After entering the rotation in the second half, Livingston was not as good as in the first half. The Nuggets' solution is very simple, just change the forward player to defend.

Players like Livingston can play occasionally, but they cannot determine the trend of the game.

Once the Nuggets figured out the rotation issue, it was the Warriors' turn to get nervous.

It is easy to deal with Livingston, but it is impossible for the Warriors to completely deal with Lu Wei. No team in the entire league can really deal with a sixth man like Lu Wei, unless it is the main force.

The Warriors' solution is indeed the main force. Curry only rested for 2 minutes in the second half.

The Nuggets did not underestimate their opponents. Curry played and Xiang Chu was replaced.

In fact, in terms of physical strength, Xiang Chu may be better than outside players such as Curry.

After the playoffs reached the Western Conference Finals, there was no need for the Nuggets to hide. Even if Xiang Chu has good physical strength, a player like Chamberlain is not afraid of being known.

After Curry played, the Warriors' offense was much better.

Like Xiang Chu, he not only has strong offensive power, but also attracts defensive attention.

With such players on the court, other players can run out of opportunities more easily.

But the same is true for the Nuggets. Xiang Chu's scoring is more stable than Curry's. As long as he doesn't double-team, he will be sure to get the ball. If the Warriors double-team, the Nuggets will have a chance outside.

The state of the players in the playoffs is actually better than many times in the regular season, because there is enough time to adjust.

They may not perform well in the face of a strong defense, but when there is no defense in front of them, most players can still help the team stabilize.

"Move faster, as long as we grasp these few minutes, we will be able to win the game." Cole kept motivating the players.

Barnes received an assist from Iguodala and hit a three-pointer, and the Warriors once again overtook the score.

But then Middleton returned one, Gallinari also hit a three-pointer again, and the Nuggets took the lead again.

The repetition of the score This game has gone through many times, but in the final quarter, this makes people feel pressured.

Entering the last 5 minutes, the Nuggets led by 4 points.

The Warriors' defense is really good. It can only be said that Xiang Chu is too strong, and the Nuggets lead in rebounding.

At 3 minutes and 08 seconds, Curry made a three-pointer after a successful steal.

But then Xiang Chu scored 4 points in a row and sent Bogut a foul.

Bogut has only played for about [-] minutes, but now he can't keep up with Xiang Chu at all.

As far as Aizeli is concerned, Xiang Chu's defense is worse than Bogut's, and Cole is still struggling on the court.

Whether to stick to this lineup for a while and believe in the abilities of Curry and Thompson, or switch to a smaller lineup and conduct more outside offenses.

Draymond Green is very experienced defensive big man, but Xiang Chu is definitely different.

When Cole was struggling, Curry hit two consecutive 2-pointers, he was too flexible.

But at 1 minute and 36 seconds, the Warriors made a mistake when passing the ball to Thompson without the ball. Middleton made a successful steal. Gallinari received the ball and made two free throws.

Fighting hard, Cole called a timeout and put on a small lineup.

In the next Warriors offense, when Curry was about to cover, the Nuggets suddenly flanked. Iguodala received the ball and passed it to Thompson. The Nuggets were still defending, but Thompson also gained room to shoot.

The three-pointer was shot from a slightly off angle, and Xiang Chu protected the rebound.

Knight began to press time, and finally spent almost 24 seconds before making a shot.

The goal was not scored, but the time left for the Warriors is running out.

During their attack, Green pulled out, Xiang Chu didn't completely defend, but just put pressure on the opponent.

Green gritted his teeth and shot directly, but the movement was not so smooth. After hitting the iron, Xiang Chu turned around and took off the rebound.

The small lineup of the Warriors at the last moment did not work, mainly because there was too little time left for them.

The Nuggets once again controlled the rhythm. This time, Xiang Chu suddenly asked for a position at the basket in the last few seconds. Knight made a risky pass. Anyway, he was not sure about direct shooting.

The pass was a bit wide, but Xiang Chu scooped the ball with his long arm and hit the basket directly.

The ball missed, but Xiang Chu grabbed the rebound again.

The Warriors had no choice but to foul. Xiang Chu got to the free throw line and made two free throws. The Warriors had little chance.

Xiang Chu's free throws have actually improved a little this season, but it's not obvious that he has more free throws.

In the playoffs, he was more focused, and his free throws were a few points higher than in the regular season.

Therefore, if the Warriors fouled him, he would also be awarded points.

With only ten seconds left, Curry made a hit with the ball, but after the Warriors fouled again, Knight also made two free throws. Curry missed another shot and the game ended.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets made a good start at home and beat the Warriors.

The two teams have been inseparable for so long in this game, but in the end it can still be seen that the Nuggets should be more stable in strength and have a more mature tactical grasp.

"We didn't end the game, and we didn't perform well enough at the last moment." Cole said after the game.

"The main responsibility lies with me. I was hesitating and didn't let the team play the strongest combat effectiveness."

"The Nuggets are a very strong opponent. Although I have only finished one game, I have realized that if I want to beat them, I have to cut off my retreat."

Curry said in an interview: "We have the ability to win the game, we just have some inexperience, but this problem has not been a problem since then."

George Karl said, "The Warriors gave us challenges. It was difficult for us to get rid of them for most of the game, but I am glad that we have very good players, so we can do better at critical moments."

"Also, it's not our limit, we'll get better."

Xiang Chu said sternly to the reporter: "We let Curry hit too many three-pointers. If our goal is to defend the title, we must do better. The game was once out of control. I don't like this feeling. We want Do more preparations to make sure we can get the next victory."

Both Xiang Chu and Curry scored 35 points in this game, showing a star temperament that is obviously different from others.

Although they are not matchup players, their game has made many fans excited, and the next game of the Western Conference Finals is worth looking forward to.

During the Nuggets' training, Xiang Chu also put forward higher demands on other players.

They must do better, because no accidents are allowed on the road to defending the title.
