The strongest basket king

Chapter 485

Chapter 485

Although Jokic is young, he has also played in professional leagues in China. He has few turnovers and has a big heart.

He was naturally a little nervous after being suppressed in these two games, but Xiang Chu's encouragement was just right.

The team has a big star named Xiang Chu, so what is he worried about, he just follows his big brother.

In the second quarter, it was not so easy for Gasol to beat Jokic. After correcting his mentality, Jokic's young and strong advantage was reflected.

Gasol is not afraid of confrontation, but it is certain that his efficiency will decrease under confrontation.

And the Bulls still have two uncles, so they will definitely not let him play the third point all the time.

How should I put it, neither of the Bulls' two strong outside shots is particularly good, especially Rose, who can be said to be a blacksmith now, but has a Mamba spirit and never accepts his fate.

So after Gasol calmed down in the second quarter, Xiang Chu led his team to catch up with the score.

Whether it's inside or outside, the Nuggets are more accurate, the difference is just some personal confrontation.

Facing a strong team like the Nuggets, the Bulls had an advantage in the first quarter, and Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg was also very happy, but he was so depressed that he was abruptly lost in the second quarter.

He must solve the problem of integration between Rose and Butler, otherwise he will be kicked out like his predecessor.

During the intermission, Hoiberg also held back his temper and patiently analyzed the tactics with the players, asking the players to play more teamwork.

As a result, as soon as the third quarter came up, Rose and Butler had a meaningless singles.

With the way the two play, it's no wonder that there are rumors of the two fighting for the boss.

For a while, the Bulls were very inefficient on the offensive end, and the Nuggets were not polite, and quickly took the lead.

Even if the Nuggets change their lineup, their biggest feature is stability, and they will perform if their opponents are unstable.

The Bulls want to make adjustments through lineup rotation, but unfortunately their bench lineup is not strong.

The Bulls' strengths are all in the starting lineup, maybe they should also consider changing, as the hidden dangers are too great now.

It's just that the start was good, and the team was holding back their energy to hit the record, so they didn't expect to go so far.

The Bulls are different from the Nuggets. They are not the defending champions. They just want to listen to everything they win. In fact, as long as they go further in the playoffs, the management will be very satisfied.

Hoiberg lost his temper during the timeout, and the Bulls played more reasonably in the final quarter.

The Nuggets are not a team that can be done on defense alone, and their defense is not that strong this season.

Under the scheduling of the head coach, Gasol got more shots.

He is indeed the most stable of the Bulls. Rose and Butler often go in, and Xiang Chu guards the three-second zone. It is really not easy to challenge successfully.

After the Bulls' offensive efficiency improved, the game felt suspenseful again.

In fact, it was just an illusion. After Xiang Chu played again, he immediately firmly controlled the situation on the field.

The Bulls have no shortage of insiders, but they don't have enough weight, and they can't bear the pain at all.

Jokic's transfer station can simply hand the ball to Xiang Chu, and the Bulls' inside line has nothing to do.

And it's impossible for them to double-team. After all, the Nuggets' outside line is not fake, and Jokic also has three-point ability.

From this point of view, Jokic is really suitable for Xiang Chu. After playing the Twin Towers, Xiang Chu doesn't need to go out to catch the ball at all, and the game is much easier to play.

The game entered the last 5 minutes, and the Bulls did not chase the score.

He didn't catch up in the last 3 minutes, and Rose and Butler missed three-pointers.

The Bulls now need two people to shoot, but they are not very accurate outside.

So after a struggle for the Bulls, they could only accept the fate of losing at home.

Although it is said that the west is strong and the east is weak, generally the western teams will not take advantage of the east, but a strong team like the Nuggets is different. They are a problem for opponents in any stadium.

After the game, Hoiberg also said that they could not solve the Nuggets' inside line, so they lost the game.

When the Nuggets were still fighting in the East, the All-Star voting also began.

As usual, Xiang Chu is very popular, and Jeremy Lin, Middleton, and Gallinari on the team also received a lot of votes.

However, there will be no battle for the top vote in this All-Star session. In the last season of the superstar Kobe, many fans around the world voted for Kobe.

Xiang Chu didn't pay much attention to the All-Star matter, only Olivia liked to show off.

The Nuggets still have back-to-back away games, and they will go to Toronto next, but it is not easy.

The Raptors retained the main lineup in the summer and signed Carroll to supplement the striker. This season is also worth looking forward to.

Of course, the main thing is that their backcourt double guns Lowry and DeRozan are still improving.

The Raptors have a truce in Valanciunas, and the fifth position has become the meat shield Biyombo signed in the summer.

The other No. [-] is Scola, who was also signed in the summer. From this point of view, their lineup has also changed a lot, which is similar to the situation of the Nuggets.

The Raptors are now in a two-gun mode, and the Nuggets are quite familiar with this mode.

Compared with the twin towers, the double gun is a more common mode in the league, after all, there are more outside players.

As long as they don't explode three-pointers, the Nuggets won't worry that outside players can kill them. They also have experience in defense.

Facing similar teams, they all demanded themselves with the intensity of defending the Warriors.

At the beginning of the game, Xiang Chu, Middleton and Gallinari played well at three points.

The Raptors' defense is actually good, but the absence of the starting center still affects them. Biyombo is a qualified tank, but he is too short in front of Xiang Chu.

Facing the aging Scola, Jokic also has some advantages.

The Raptors had to quickly switch to the team's third center, sophomore Lucas Noqueira, and Patrick Patterson, who was more defensively minded, at the four.

The Raptors' bench lineup is also very average, but there are still a few players available.

The backup guard Corey Joseph signed in the summer and the former starter Terrence Ross are both good. Although the Nuggets have an advantage when they come up, they still can't kill the opponent all at once.

Of course, the more important thing is DeRozan. DeRozan's mid-range is still very good, and he also maintains a slight advantage in the confrontation with Middleton.

However, the Nuggets are getting better and better now, and the Raptors can only make them resist for a little longer by relying on normal bench and core performance.

The Nuggets have been playing steadily to expand their score advantage. By the end of the first half, their lead had reached double digits.

During the halftime break, the strategy of the Nuggets was also very simple.

The offensive performance of the Raptors team is obvious. It is not difficult for them to target them. What they have to do in the second half is not to give the opponent a chance to comeback.
