Chapter 496

Leonard's performance throughout the game was not particularly obvious. He didn't score as much as Jojic in the final quarter, but at the last moment he showed the temperament of a leading player, hitting a mid-range shot at the buzzer and dragging the score into overtime.

"We still underestimated each other, and we can't give each other another chance," Xiang Chu said.

"We have to limit them, give them stronger confrontation, and then hit shots on offense." George Karl said loudly.

In fact, they still have some problems with their defense at the last moment. In the past, Parker or Ginobili made shots at the last moment, but now they have to adapt to the style of Leonard Nuggets.

Had they put Leonard first, the game might have been over before.

Before playing, Xiang Chu hugged Jokic's shoulders and communicated in a low voice. He needed Jokic to find a way to push his fellow villagers away, so that Xiang Chu would not have much resistance to rebounding.

In overtime, the Nuggets got the chance to attack first, and then Xiang Chu didn't go to the low post immediately.

It was Jokic who went to the low post first, and the Spurs were a little confused, and then Jokic played directly in the low post.

He missed, and Xiang Chu had already bypassed Boban to grab an offensive rebound and hit it.

In the next Spurs offense, Parker scored Leonard. Leonard took a step forward from the side and was about to dunk, but was directly shot off by Xiang Chu who retreated.

Xiang Chu just followed Boban to the top of the arc, and Leonard went in after receiving the ball. Unexpectedly, Xiang Chu retreated so quickly, but Leonard jumped into the air but had no other choice.

In the Nuggets' offense, Jokic once again went to the low post to ask for the ball, and this time he hit it.

This is the power of the Twin Towers. Not only can Jokic pass the ball, he can also play inside.

Aldridge also asked for the ball in the low post, but he missed it, and then it was Xiang Chu's turn to go to the low post in the Nuggets' offense. The Spurs were about to intercept the pass, and Xiang Chu came up to catch the ball again. Jokic It gave him an off-ball screen.

Aldridge switched defenses, but was directly squeezed away by Xiang Chu's Overlord Spear and hit.

The Nuggets led by 6 points at the start of overtime, and the situation suddenly turned against the Spurs.

Next, Aldridge hit once, and Leonard missed another shot.

Leonard is still far from being a powerful All-Star. After defending, he is not as sharp on the offensive end.

When the Spurs were dizzy by the Twin Towers, Middleton scored a three-pointer to seal the victory.

If the two sides in the previous game were still fighting wits and courage, the overtime game was completely dominated by the Nuggets.

The Twin Towers showed more possibilities in front of them, and it also caused problems for all teams in the league.

You know, Xiang Chu and Jojic scored 62 points this time, which team in the league can withstand the inside.

The point is that Aldridge is also an All-Star insider. Although he is partial to offense, he can't stand it at all, which means that most teams in the league are about to die, and some teams are already preparing to replenish their tanks.

Xiang Chu once again encouraged Jokic on social media, calling him a championship-level inside partner.

This also made Jokic a little popular, and the All-Star votes were much higher.

At this time, the attention of the outside world is also all focused on the Nuggets, because they are going to play back-to-back away games against the Thunder.

Consecutive battles against the two major teams in the West may be able to establish the top four in the West.

Moreover, the outside attention of the Thunder is greater than that of the Spurs. Westbrook and Durant have returned with full blood. Everyone wants to know whether the Thunder is still a strong team in the league.

Although they are now fourth in the Western Conference, no one dares to underestimate them, and the Thunder and Thunder are also very popular.

The Thunder are really strong in the new season. In fact, looking at the team data, they are not much different from the Warriors.

With Kanter and Waiters, their rotation also has enough offensive power.

There is a gap between their current record and the Warriors, and it is more a matter of details and running-in.

I don't know if they can get better, but they have the potential.

In the first match of the season, the Nuggets were also beaten badly. Now it is back-to-back away games, and they have one less person. It feels like there is not much suspense, but this kind of thing is hard to say.

The Nuggets have changed a lot since the beginning of the season. Of course, the Thunder's overall internal strength may be stronger than the Spurs. This game is worth seeing.

The Thunder played so many players this season that the coach had to spare some players.

Their new head coach, Donovan, doesn't give many opportunities to role players. It's not clear at this time how high the Thunder can reach this season, and they can also be said to be still running in.

The Thunder's starting lineup is the same as at the beginning of the season, but the Nuggets have just changed to the same set.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides were in an offensive battle. The Nuggets Xiang Chu, Middleton, Gary Harris, Thunder Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka and others all felt very good.

The Thunder focused more on the inside. Ibaka did have an advantage over Jokic, but Xiang Chu still beat Adams violently. The Nuggets are not only strong inside, but they are not soft on the outside when the opponent focuses on the inside. Gary Harris has settled in.

And Jokic's scoring was affected when facing Ibaka, and his pass transfer station still did a good job.

In addition, defending Ibaka is also a bit troublesome. Ibaka must move faster, and Xiang Chu keeps reminding Jokic what to pay attention to.

After finally finding a suitable inside partner, Xiang Chu will definitely take care of it.

With the help of Xiang Chu, Jokic's adaptation to the NBA field has also improved rapidly.

The key to the Nuggets' game is defense. The Thunder's defense is not bad, but like the Warriors, their strongest is offense, which is much better than the Spurs.

Fortunately for Ibaka, Westbrook and Durant are really difficult to deal with. The general defense doesn't work against them. They are both outstanding players among the All-Star players. It is often their touch that can beat them.

Westbrook's hand feels good this time, which is bad news for the Nuggets.

The Nuggets' No. [-] position is a bit weak, and they seem particularly helpless when they meet Westbrook. Westbrook's explosive power and strength beat McConnell and Jeremy Lin with ease.

This is not a question of defensive skills, just like when Xiang Chu beat Adams, Adams' defensive skills were useless even if he had enough defensive skills, and he crushed unreasonably.

Under normal circumstances, only Durant can do this, but Westbrook with touch is also at this level.

Compared with the Spurs game, Xiang Chu felt that the opponent had a stronger fighting spirit and was more aggressive.

What should I do in this situation, I can only eat cold salad, and the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

So Xiang Chu fired all his firepower in the first quarter, and he would not show mercy to anyone who stood in front of him.

The Thunder's four insiders played in turn, but as long as Xiang Chu received the ball in the right position, everything would be in vain.
