The strongest basket king

Chapter 448

Chapter 448

The Cavaliers suffered another injury. After the Nuggets won two home games, the outside world was almost one-sided.

ESPN also stated that there is a big gap between the current Cavaliers and the Nuggets. The probability of the Nuggets defending the title has reached [-]%, and they may even sweep the Cavaliers.

The voices of the online knight supporters are also much quieter, and Olivia has been having a blast these two days.

However, some people think that the Nuggets won by force. If the Cavaliers hadn't suffered injuries, they would be the stronger side.

Of course, this kind of voice is relatively small. After all, the regular season record of the Cavaliers is not as good as that of the Heat last season.

"What do they know? I predicted the Nuggets' victory a long time ago, a 4-0 sweep, without any problems." Olivia looked complacent as if the others didn't understand the game.

"The match is not over yet, so that you don't get slapped in the face, I have to work harder, but I can't guarantee this kind of thing." Xiang Chu couldn't help but say.

"You have to promise, you have to!" Olivia adjusted to an unreasonable mode, "Son, do you think so?"

When his wife asked for help, Xiang Chu would definitely surrender. Before going to the away game, he also spent some time with them.

Denver is not far from Cleveland, and it is still shorter than Miami.

"I think we can build a dynasty. I asked everyone, and basically everyone will stay." Farid couldn't help being excited.

"Let's take down the game first." Xiang Chu responded softly.

It is definitely impossible for everyone to stay, but Xiang Chu is still optimistic about the future of the team.

"Xiang, don't worry, we will not take it lightly, and we will definitely win the game."

Xiang Chu is more calm, but he also feels that the game is basically stable, and the current lineup of the Cavaliers is too injured.

Going to the away game, the two teams only adjusted for one day, which is beneficial to the Nuggets, but it is a bit tired from the exhaustion, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the excitement during the finals.

Playing away to the Nuggets is just a simple suitability training, and the physical strength must be kept on the court.

The same is true during the regular season, so in order to improve quickly, players must add some material themselves.

Irving can't play, and the Cavaliers still start with Matthew Dellavedova.

With this lineup, the Nuggets don't even need to predict what the opponent's tactics will be.

Without Irving, James has to attack the organization. When JR is not on the court, all the balls are in James' hands, and the Nuggets' defense is also targeted.

In a single-core team, no matter how powerful the stars are, it is easy to be targeted.

Xiang Chu is also easy to target, but his teammates are much better, and there are several quasi-All-Stars.

And as an insider, Xiang Chu doesn't need to hold the ball, so it's not so easy to target to some extent.

Back at home, the Cavaliers look high-spirited, but in fact their efficiency is not higher than the away game.

James' shooting is not so good, and it is getting more and more difficult for Mozgov to defend against Xiangchu.

Xiang Chu has played a lot of simulated games these days, and basically he will react as soon as he gets the ball. Mozgov is like a big wooden stake in front of him, and he still can't hit his big wooden stake.

The Cavaliers also had no choice, they even tried to use Perkins.

Perkins was claimed by the Cavaliers in the middle of the season, and they signed Perkins, who is usually ineffective, for special moments in the playoffs.

Now is a special moment. Speaking of which, Perkins also has experience in defending Xiang Chu.

If it weren't for Perkins' current poor state, the Cavaliers must have tried in the first two games, and now they are dead horses as living horse doctors.

However, Perkins is really useless now, and there is no threat to Xiang Chu at all.

After only trying for 3 minutes, Blatter chose to substitute, preferring to play a small lineup with Thompson on top.

The Cavaliers are now adopting flexible tactics, using whichever lineup plays well.

It's just that there are not many of them, and there are only so many changes, so James still needs to stand up.

James still wanted to drive his teammates before, after all, he scored crazy points in the first two games and still lost.

Now it seems that if he doesn't score crazy points, the team will lose faster.

In the second quarter, James showed off his power, and he was strong in the middle distance.

The Nuggets Middleton, Gallinari, Aminu, and Dudley took turns to consume. On the surface, no one can pose a threat to James, but the Nuggets believe that James is not iron.

Xiang Chu will be tired if he has cheats. James consumes more than Xiang Chu. Even if he can't make him too tired to run, if he can reduce his shooting rate by [-]-[-]%, the Nuggets will definitely win.

James is also a little depressed. Xiang Chu can't play as he wants in the paint.

Moreover, the Nuggets' consumption tactics are not static. When James feels good, the Nuggets will flank for a few minutes, disrupting the opponent's rhythm.

At the end of the first half, James once again scored the most gorgeous statistics on the court, but the team fell behind again.

This makes people feel powerless. I thought it would be better to return to the home court, but there is a gap in the strength of the two teams.

"Everyone did a good job, this is the rhythm." Back in the locker room, Xiang Chu encouraged his teammates.

Although the game process has changed slightly, the situation at halftime is actually the same.

The Cavaliers currently have too few changes in personnel and tactics. As long as the Nuggets themselves have no problems, they will have an advantage.

James is indeed capable, which is the main reason why they didn't lead much in the first half.

But as long as this momentum is maintained, the Nuggets can kill each other again.

In the Cavaliers' locker room, Blatter quickly draws tactics on the tactical board.

As an academic coach, he has many routines, but he doesn't know if he can perform them well.

Three points, this is the weapon that the Cavaliers have always relied on, but this series did not play out.

Even a layman can see that if they want to make a comeback now, the outside line must be opened.

Now the key is how to open it. It is easy for James to break through and score the ball, but the Nuggets will not give them a chance easily.

Blatter knows at least a hundred ways how to make three-pointers, but he only hopes that one or two can help the team.

"We have to keep running and pulling, and we can't just stand inside. If we can score some good goals inside, Xiang Chu will have scruples when he assists in defense."

Blatter asked other players to move purposefully when James moved, and Xiang Chu's wide range of assistance defense sometimes meant that there would be gaps behind him.

As soon as the third quarter came up, James and Thompson came to cooperate. James sent the ball inside and Thompson took advantage of the opportunity to dunk.

While that's asking a lot from a passer, James has the means.

It's just that before they were happy, they found that Xiang Chu reacted faster than they thought, and James broke in and jumped to pass the ball, which was not so useful.

For players with their height and long arms, the pass inside is too small. Xiang Chu can intercept it, or turn around and send a big cap.
