The strongest basket king

Chapter 108 Season Objectives
Under the watchful eyes of the home fans, Xiang Chu showed his power at the beginning.

Compared with the previous two teams, the Warriors' defense is scum, especially inside.

Their main lineup is that Curry and Klay Thompson can play. The outside line of the two is too accurate. The Nuggets sometimes have bad defensive habits. Individual defense is often not a big problem, and the overall defense needs to be improved. Create some sparks.

It can be said that Curry and Thompson are supporting the Warriors in this game, and the Nuggets are leading the game.

At the last moment, the Nuggets replaced the main force, and Xiang Chu grabbed offensive rebounds to kill the game. In front of the Warriors' rookie insider, there is really no difference between Xiang Chu and Howard.

In more than 20 minutes of playing time, Xiang Chu scored 20 points and 18 rebounds, and the home fans were hooked.

Xiang Chu's offensive methods are not much different from those in the playoffs in the past few months, but they are more domineering. Xiang Chu's fans think that the Lakers did not make good use of him, and some media also followed suit and reported.

Mike Brown took the blame again after a few months, and even some Lakers fans thought that if Xiang Chu was given more opportunities, they could go further.

This kind of thing can't be said, it can only be proved by results.

The Lakers played a mess in the preseason, but they are still very optimistic. When Howard comes back, their Big Four lineup will definitely sweep the entire league, and then they will be proud.

Xiang Chu said with a smile in an interview on this matter: "It is a wonderful experience to be in the Lakers. Of course, their management will always make some strange initiatives. I hope the Nuggets' management will do better."

The status of the team is different, and Xiang Chu's speech is different. The rest of the Nuggets are outside. He is also the core of the team's inside. He must be stronger.

Players and teams are concerned about cooperation, but sometimes they also have to compete, and the right to speak is very important.

When he was in the Lakers, Kobe set an example and told Xiang Chu what to do.

Although Kobe did not do some things last season, the team's status is still ranked first.

That is to say, there are some signs of his decline in combat power. When he was younger, the Lakers management had to show more face, and the big deal in the summer also showed that the team was still willing to coax Kobe.

This aspect is definitely the place that other team leaders are most envious of, and Xiang Chu must gradually follow Kobe.

Because he will always get stronger, he has enough confidence.

If the Nuggets don't respect him enough, he believes that many teams will be willing to offer a maximum salary in two years.

In the fourth game of the preseason, the Nuggets played away against the Trail Blazers. Ty Lawson and Xiang Chu took turns, and their winning streak ended.

But they have also gained something. Although the No. 20 pick in the NBA still needs to be improved in many areas this year, he also showed his advantages. His flexibility and shooting are good. Maybe he can become a card in the rotation. .

The Nuggets are the devil's home game, so in less official preseason games, they mostly play away games.

Fortunately, they were all played in the west, otherwise it would be quite a toss.

"You have to show your desire for victory on the offensive end and be aggressive." George Karl strictly demanded on the sidelines of the training field.

"It's the same on the defensive end. There must be no fear on the court. No matter who is in front of you, there has never been a superstar. Everyone is equal on the court."

George Karl's voice is low, which makes people uncomfortable. It is said that he was roaring earlier, but now he has changed due to physical reasons.

The team still made the playoffs after Anthony left, and George Karl was clearly satisfied with his control.

The fifth game was against the Thunder, and they were all old acquaintances.

There is no change in the Thunder lineup, summer is just some small additions.

No one knows that the Thunder's management is planning a big deal. After all, they reached the finals last season. As the young people grow further, they have a chance to win.

The Thunder's inside line is actually not too strong, but it is very troublesome. Their main attack points are outside, and the Nuggets are difficult to defend.

Even Iguodala, who has entered the best defensive team, can't do much when facing Durant.

In a way, Durant is a very difficult type to defend, because he mainly shoots with his height and long arms. Nuo Tianwang has relied on this trick for many years, and Durant is a big outside line with better physical fitness.

However, Xiang Chu still has an advantage in the interior, not to mention beating Perkins. After all, this buddy is a meat shield, but it is still right to have the advantage.

But Farid is at a disadvantage against Ibaka. The two are similar types, and Ibaka is taller and more shapely.

And the Thunder's outside line is not only the three players who feel good, Cook and Reggie Jackson also played very well.

For the Nuggets, Ty Lawson and Gallinari scored from the outside.

Gallinari is also a big outsider. His style of play is somewhat similar to Durant, but his physical fitness is not as good.

Durant hit consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game, and the Nuggets have been chasing points.

Xiang Chu is now a lot better than last season, but his style of play still consumes a lot and it is difficult to burst points.

The main reason is that the lineup is still running in, and the way the team gives the ball to the inside should be more comfortable. He will definitely communicate with the head coach on this point.

In the third quarter, Xiang Chu fought hard and finally tied the score.

He played the Thunder very hard because he wanted to try the Thunder's strongest strength because of the playoffs.

It's a pity that when the lineup was rotated, Harden led the team to open the score again.

It is impossible to play the main force in the preseason. Although Xiang Chu played well this time, he has not yet reached the point of a showdown with the Thunder.

In the last few minutes of playing, the score has been difficult to recover.

The Nuggets are not the Lakers, and they don't have Kobe's scoring explosion. The team's outside lines have their own weaknesses.

Ty Lawson's long-range shot is not stable enough and too short, Gallinari is a little weaker in confrontation, Iguodala is stronger in comprehensiveness and defense, and lacks offensive ability, so in the end the gap is less than 10 points, the Nuggets Life and death did not catch up.

Xiang Chu didn't play, and this was his first loss with his new club.

It must be a bit reconciled, but the preseason is when problems are exposed.

He has to remember that he is not in the Lakers now. As his strength improves, he must become a key scoring point for the team, and sometimes he must play a little more selfishly.

Although George Karl said he likes his selflessness when talking with him, his goal is not to become a blue-collar star, but to become an All-Star.

In Denver, where there is no media focus, Xiang Chu will rely on his absolute strength to return to everyone's attention.

"This season, All-Star." Xiang Chu said on social media.

Heizi, who had been silent for a while, couldn't help but rant, did this buddy go crazy after playing a few preseason games? Could it be because of lack of oxygen in the plateau?

Xiang Chu watched these things jump out, with a cold smile on his face.
