The strongest basket king

Chapter 531

Chapter 531

The offensive end of the Mavericks suddenly became strong, and the Nuggets responded by staying the same.

Because their original defensive strategy is to block three-pointers, they just need better execution.

As for other aspects, the Nuggets have no problems on the offensive end, and Xiang Chu has been beating the opponent inside.

It's a pity that after entering the rotation, the Mavericks did not maintain that momentum, and their substitute performance was not bad, but it was just barely holding back, and it was not as good as the performance in the first half.

Carlisle is also welcome, the three relatively strong points on the field, Dirk Nowitzki, Chandler and Matthews, all played again without a few minutes of rest. The Mavericks also have ideas for this game.

In other words, at this point in the regular season, they have to fight every game.

But after Chandler took a break, he returned to the court completely without the previous accuracy.

Undoubtedly, his previous performance also had some elements of luck, but his own strength was unable to crush Gallinari.

After all, Gallinari is an All-Star, even if he is not the stronger group of All-Stars, he certainly does not lose to Chandler.

In the final quarter, the Mavericks quickly replaced the main lineup, but their lineup could not crush the Nuggets' rotation.

All players on a strong team will have the temperament of a strong team, and vice versa.

Tactical execution and the enthusiasm of the players still have a great impact on the game.

When the strongest lineup of the Nuggets is on the line, the Mavericks will be a little bit overwhelmed.

They were still behind. Carlisle gritted his teeth and played a small lineup again. Felton was with the other four main players of the Mavericks.

With Nowitzki as the axis, they began to pour the ball quickly from the outside.

As long as the opportunity came out, the five players they left on the court would not hesitate to shoot three-pointers.

The Mavericks' three-pointers this season do have something, and they pay more attention to this aspect than last season.

Nowitzki did not hit the bait three-pointer, but Deron, Matthews and Chandler all hit.

With a completely different three-point shooting percentage from the first half, the Mavericks really showed their strength at this time.

"Have a chance to win." Mavericks fans secretly clenched their fists, they saw hope.

The Nuggets didn't panic. They took Xiang Chu as the core of their attack and were as stable as Mount Tai on the offensive end.

How to put it, they did not achieve the ultimate defensive end, and the Nuggets are not a first-class defensive team.

They blocked the three-pointers very well in the first half, and now the Mavericks feel outside the three-point line, and it feels like the Nuggets are paying for their luck in the first half.

But on the offensive end, they firmly grasp the initiative, as long as the score keeps up, they will be invincible.

The game time is gradually passing, and the atmosphere on the court is becoming more and more tense. The fans in the American Airlines Center are a little afraid to watch. The pressure on the Nuggets is too great.

Time entered the last moment, 1 minute and 45 seconds, Deron made another three-pointer, and the score gap between the two sides was only 6 points. The Mavericks now need a successful defense.

Jokic received the ball at a high position, but was cut off by Matthews as soon as he turned around. The Mavericks counterattacked quickly. Matthews chased and hit a three-pointer, and the American Airlines Center burst into enthusiastic cheers.

George Karl requested a timeout, and Jokic bowed his head guiltily.

Xiang Chu patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will take care of it, just protect the ball next time."

With the boss's encouragement, Jojic's mood improved because he knew that Xiang Chu could really handle it.

Playing again, the Mavericks tried their best not to let Xiang Chu catch the ball, and Middleton missed the three-point line.

However, Xiang Chu took the rebound steadily, turned around and went straight to the basket for a complete dunk.

With 59 seconds into the game, the Nuggets led by 5 points and still took the initiative.

For the Mavericks' next attack, it took more than half of the time to find a chance for a three-pointer. Matthews chose to go in, but it was Xiang Chu's hat that greeted him.

Challenging Xiang Chu, it seems that he is crazy, thinking that with a little touch, he can do whatever he wants.

The Nuggets got the ball, and time was running out. The Mavericks pressed hard and chose to foul after failing to steal the ball.

Jeremy Lin stepped to the free throw line and made one of two free throws. Although he missed a goal, the Nuggets had a 6-point lead at this time and had stabilized.

The Mavericks pushed forward and Felton made a three-pointer. After missing, they chose to give up. Time was running out.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Nuggets won three consecutive victories. The key is that they will be at home for the next period of time, and there is no back-to-back, which is a good opportunity for adjustment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Nuggets can also formally formulate a playoff plan, but the players' mental state and style of play are moving closer to the requirements of the playoffs.

Now that the weather has gradually improved, Xiang Chu also built a play place for the little guy outside the house, like a small castle.

In fact, the little guy can't play it now, but he built it when he thought about it.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, Xiang Chu and Olivia will also take the little one around the yard.

The little guy can stand up with their hands now, and he can play by himself in a safe area after a while, but it will be more troublesome to take care of the little guy by then.

It was much easier for Xiang Chu and the others to hire a professional nanny with a high salary.

The little guy may be troublesome when he grows up, but it is also more interesting. When the family plays together, it feels great. Xiang Chu wants to have another good project after training.

But this can only be done at home, and I feel that the resentment of playing away is getting bigger and bigger.

Xiang Chu didn't pay much attention to the emotional life of other teammates. I don't know if anyone likes to play away games.

In the last battle in February, the Nuggets played against the Grizzlies at home.

The Grizzlies have had a good record during this period, and they are still relatively good at hard battles.

Although it is only sixth in the Western Conference, it is because the Western Conference teams are too strong.

The Grizzlies didn't have a complete lineup for this game. Gasol truce, and the Grizzlies started the game with veteran Chris Anderson, who was traded during the season.

The current lineup of the Grizzlies is somewhat different from before. In order to enhance the outside attack power, they sent away Jeff Green, but their core players have not changed, and the style of play has not changed. The Nuggets are still very familiar.

And without Gasol Jr., it is basically impossible for the Grizzlies to restrict Xiang Chu.

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies were grinding their rhythm, but the Nuggets didn't care. Xiang Chu directly showed amazing efficiency inside. As for Randolph, Jokic was enough for him, and it was impossible to affect Xiang Chu.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup is really too weak, especially when Conley's hands are average.

When it comes to the rotation period, with the performance of Qian Moss and new aid Stephenson, their situation is better.

But it's just to ease the aggressiveness of the Nuggets a little bit. When Xiang Chu comes up, the Grizzlies can't be the opponent of the Nuggets no matter what the rhythm is.
