The strongest basket king

Chapter 443 Declaration

Chapter 443 Declaration

In the fifth game between the Nuggets and the Warriors, because the defense was tight at the beginning, neither side's shooting percentage was very good.

There is only one most stable player on both sides, and Xiang Chu is more stable, so the Nuggets are also in the leading position.

This went on for about a quarter before being broken by the rotation.

After the two sides gradually replaced the substitutes, the defensive intensity could not maintain the initial level.

First, Lu Wei and Faried on the Nuggets side showed their power, helping the team expand their lead to double digits.

In a critical situation, Clay hit consecutive three-pointers on the Warriors' side, which revived the Warriors' shots.

The Nuggets' three-point defense against the Warriors in the first quarter was exceptionally good, only Curry hit a fairy ball.

But in the second quarter, when their main lineup didn't play so much time, they made 5 shots in a few minutes, of which Clay made three consecutive shots.

Clay is not as comprehensive as Curry, but the burst points are not bad at all.

When the Nuggets rotated, they didn't continue the defense and gave the Warriors a chance.

The Warriors recovered the score, and the contest between the two teams became more intense.

After Xiang Chu played again, he was even more violent inside. His rebounds were in double figures before the end of the first half. The Warriors really had nothing to do about it.

They have used all kinds of methods to block people and block positions, but Xiang Chu not only has a very good sense of rebounding, but also completely blows them in physical confrontation. They really can't win.

There is no doubt that Xiang Chu is still the most influential player on the game.

The Warriors have two All-Stars, so they didn't collapse so quickly.

So when it came to halftime, the Nuggets took the lead. Although it was only a single-digit lead, the Nuggets have always been good at playing the second half. Leading is not only a matter of score, but also can give people pressure.

"We must maintain a high level for a long time, we can do it, as long as we focus a little more, win them, and then beat the Eastern Conference champion, no amount of fatigue is nothing."

"Brothers, let's go together!"

As soon as Xiang Chu returned to the locker room, he was encouraged. Although the Nuggets only had him as an All-Star, there were several quasi-All-Stars. They showed all their skills, and it was difficult for the Warriors to compete.

There can be no accidents, it is best not to waste the opportunity to defend the title, Xiang Chu is extremely serious.

After entering the third quarter, the tactics of both sides did not change in any way, just betting on whose hands were tougher.

Of course, the Warriors have always hoped to have a third point, and they gave Barnes a lot of opportunities.

It's a pity that Barnes is still a bit far behind the Splash Brothers. He is under much less defensive pressure, but his efficiency is low. Many times when he needs to hit, this buddy often disappoints.

Barnes' expectations for him in the first year were not low, but the third-year student has not made any significant progress in the past two years. Although it has something to do with the Warriors letting him play a supporting role, it also shows that his talent is better than that of Barnes. The two strong points of the team are quite different.

The Nuggets are the most stable on the field or Xiang Chu. The Warriors have been entangled with the big man this time. In fact, it may not play a big role, and the gains should be similar to the losses on the offensive end.

However, this method is relatively safe, even if you lose, it will not be too ugly.

The Nuggets still play as a team on the outside, the Warriors play regular facelifts, and Gallinari is not good at singles.

Their team style of play is actually to quickly play the ball to find an open space, and often someone will make a three-pointer unexpectedly.

The best performer in the third quarter was Knight. Curry consumed too much energy on the offensive end, so Knight seized the opportunity to play several times.

The Nuggets also gained more advantages because of the more stable performance of the players, and the leading score remained at more than 5 points.

Although the Warriors have a posture of doing whatever you want in the lineup, they still want to give it a try. If they can bring the game back to the home court again, the Nuggets may also have a change of heart.

Cole has no tricks now, so he can only use the main force. Curry and Clay basically don't end.

Their physical strength is not bad, but they are not so physical, especially Curry, if he plays for a long time, he will be even more unable to take care of the defensive end.

It's just that the Warriors have no other choice but to give it a go.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Barnes felt better. He is often on the weak side, and the Nuggets' defense often cannot guarantee the first interference.

In the Western Conference finals, Xiang Chu was not hypocritical, and only took a rest of more than a minute before playing again.

He didn't start the main attack immediately when he came on the field, but cooperated with Lu Wei, who had a decent touch.

The scary thing about Xiang Chu is that even if it is just a blue-collar style of play, it can contribute a lot to the team.

In the second half of the last quarter, the main force of the game was replaced. The Nuggets were full of energy and fighting spirit, and they overwhelmed the Warriors in terms of momentum.

At 4 minutes and 49 seconds, Xiang Chu hit the basket with a small hook, and the Nuggets' lead came to 11 points.

At this time, the Warriors can only hand the ball to Curry.

Barnes, who was playing well before, became a little timid. Except for Curry and Clay, only Green was the one who dared to shoot, but Green's shooting rate was indeed only average.

At this time, the Nuggets really dared to let Green shoot, anyway, just don't give the opponent two strong shots.

It's just that Green stopped shooting after two three-pointers, and the Warriors' ball began to feel a little lifeless.

Surrounded by Nuggets fans, no matter how much the regular season changes for the young Warriors, they can no longer hold on at this time.

The Nuggets are too strong, which seriously frustrated their confidence.

Curry managed to get a three-point free throw to stop the bleeding a little, but then he missed two strong three-pointers, and the Warriors' loss was inevitable.

Clay hit a three-pointer at the last moment, but it had no effect on the outcome.

In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Warriors 109:100, and the series advanced to the finals 4:1.

Becoming the Western Conference champion again, the entire Pepsi Center became a sea of ​​joy.

The Nuggets players went back to the locker room and opened the champagne. They were happy before going out for an interview.

Although they haven't won the championship yet, the Western Conference championship is also worthy of joy.

The defeated Warriors were a little resentful, but they still congratulated the Nuggets. Their lineup is very young, and their comeback next season is worth looking forward to.

George Karl was excited when he came out of the locker room, "If I win the second championship trophy, why not. A few years ago, I kept hearing people say that I am old and can't keep up with the trend. It's because I I didn’t get Jordan, I didn’t get OK or Duncan, now that I have Xiang Chu, you will understand that the trend is in my hands.”

Xiang Chu also smiled and said: "The opponent in the finals has been changed to the Cavaliers, but it is still the same man. I am ready to switch to James again and beat him."

"But this time, he is the challenger. I like the championship trophy very much, and I will not give it to him."
