The strongest basket king

Chapter 534 Various Influences

Chapter 534 Various Influences

The Nuggets now have a wave of home games, and then a wave of away games. Fortunately, they will recover in the first few games of the playoffs.

On the training ground, everyone is sweating profusely. The younger the team, the more passionate the young people are.

A few veterans are also full of enthusiasm. After all, they are here for the championship, and it will be a loss if they don't get it.

With the winning streak this season, everyone has seen Xiang Chu's strength. His dominance is even more exaggerated than that of O'Neal, and many people believe that the three consecutive championships can be achieved.

Xiang Chu himself is also adjusting. It feels like his deterrent power in the interior has not changed, but in fact he has also made changes based on his teammates. Xiang Chu has invested enough energy to make the team stronger.

On March 3, the Mavericks visited.

Now the fringe teams in the western part of the playoffs are also starting to work hard, otherwise they may really be blocked from the top eight.

The attitude of the Nuggets must be to treat them equally and kill them all.

The Mavericks have a solid lineup now, but they really have problems on the offensive end. The Nuggets' outside line has become shorter, and the Mavericks can only attack Nowitzki.

The Nuggets' twin towers are still playing very well, even if the outside efficiency is slightly lower.

It was only half a quarter, and the Nuggets were about to lead to double digits. Fortunately, the Mavericks' bench was strong enough. David Lee and Barea stabilized and helped the team stabilize the situation.

The head coach of the Mavericks, Carlisle, is a relatively good coach, but he is also the kind of coach who rarely surprises people. At that time, when the Mavericks won the championship, it was Nowitzki who gave the surprise.

The Mavericks' several substitutes do have their own characteristics, but after the main lineups of both sides returned to the court, the Mavericks were unable to catch up on the offensive end, wasting the good performance of the rotation lineup.

The Mavericks belong to a strange team. They say he is stingy and they often give big contracts, but many times big contracts are given to the wrong people. If Nowitzki has a good temper, they may be even worse.

Nowitzki can still bully Jokic in the first half, and when his physical strength declines in the second half, Jokic can bully him in turn. more and more favorable.

At the end of the first half, Jeremy Lin hit a three-pointer, and the Nuggets also gained a 10-point lead.

This is just a normal operation, but their normal performance makes the Mavericks very depressed. There are now five teams in the West competing for the last three positions in the playoffs. If they lose one game, they will fall behind.

The Nuggets are missing two major rotations at this time, and they can't play, and they can't perform even if they enter the playoffs.

Of course, meals have to be eaten bite by bite, and their goal now is to enter the playoffs.

Pachulia fouled three times in just a short time, and the Mavericks planned to change in the second half.

The Nuggets are not afraid of the small lineup and the entire league knows it, but the Mavericks have no choice. If they want to win, they can only rely on the small lineup to bet.

Even if Xiang Chu's footsteps are fast enough, Jokic can't, they have to bet on the shooting percentage from the outside.

In the third quarter, the Mavericks' strategy can be said to be successful. With a small lineup, Matthews and Parsons both played better than in the first half, but Nowitzki's efficiency still dropped.

In fact, speaking of speed, Nowitzki is also very slow now, and he can't keep up with the team's rhythm.

Let Nowitzki go to the fifth position when defending, basically delivering food.

It doesn't work without Nowitzki. In fact, David Lee's defense on the bench is not good at all.

The Mavericks completely blocked the game on offense. Although there were some minor problems in the third quarter, they still did a good job overall.

The team's bench lineup also played well, and of course it didn't have the performance of the first half.

The Nuggets still pay more attention to David Lee. Now this buddy's strength has declined, but it's okay to be a spoiler.

The key to the game still depends on the final quarter. The Nuggets have always maintained the lead but did not open the score.

As soon as Xiang Chu came up, it gave people a different feeling. The Nuggets players were more confident, while the opponent was full of pressure, and the spirit alone fell into a disadvantage.

Nowitzki's output has been affected. The high salaries of the two teams, Matthews and Chandler, are unreliable. They don't know when they can play.

In this case, someone from the Mavericks stood up again, and that was Deron, who did not perform well in front.

The Mavericks actually have a lot of players who can play, but they are not at the All-Star level, and Carlisle has no way to perfectly blend so many players together, so their performance often depends on the sky.

When the game entered the last 3 minutes, Deron gave the Mavericks life with three consecutive three-pointers.

They really have a chance at this time, and the score gap is only 5 points.

But then Xiang Chu scored 4 points in a row, which completely extinguished the courage of the Mavericks players.

The Nuggets had more than 20 more rebounds in the game. This is the aftermath of the Mavericks' small lineup.

The Mavericks' outside shooting rate in the second half was really good, but they couldn't bear the Nuggets' second offense.

Xiang Chu and Jokic fought in the penalty area, and the Mavericks couldn't squeeze in, so they still grabbed rebounds.

In the end, the Nuggets won the game by 9 points, and they have won 7 consecutive victories.

After the game, Carlisle also said that the loss was his reason, and he used the wrong tactics.

The tactics may be wrong, but the plight of the Mavericks is real. The offensive end is weak, and the team's two highest-paid players are in a mess. They might as well give the money to the old driver.

Now the outside world is saying that the Nuggets have a chance to hit 72 wins, and some players are also very moved.

Xiang Chu once again stated to everyone that their goal is the championship, and everything else is trivial.

Gallinari's injury is a little more troublesome than expected, and Xiang Chu doesn't want any more trouble for the team.

Fortunately, he and George Karl have the same opinion in the team, and the team will definitely not mess around.

However, it is also good for the media to always talk about it. Xiang Chu thinks that he may upgrade another magic skill before the playoffs.

He is ready, if the output of his teammates is not enough, he will explode to double the scoring ability.

In fact, many times this season he will play back, mainly to let his teammates participate.

Especially Jokic, this buddy grows fast, and it will be easier for the team to reach the playoffs.

This is also related to the future development of the team. Xiang Chu is not the kind of person who only sees the people in front of him.

And he didn't need to prove anything with statistics, Xiang Chu's position in the alliance was already unbreakable.

The commercial endorsements outside are also getting better and better. The sneakers are selling well and the price is also very good. Next, they can cross borders or something.

As for creating a big family business with the money he earned, Olivia is already trying it now, and he will still have a long time to peak, so there is no need to rush in this regard.

He must achieve the three consecutive championships, and he has established a dynasty.
