The strongest basket king

Chapter 110
In the second half, the 76ers' defense against Xiang Chu was more targeted. They not only pushed him out, but also tried their best to prevent him from receiving the ball.

The Nuggets' outside touch is still not good, Ty Lawson is still a little short, he is better at breaking through the ball, and the technique of adjusting the inside line needs to be strengthened.

Seeing that the gap in the score was widening, George Karl also made a decisive decision, playing Wilson Chandler with Faried and playing one and four.

Farid and Xiang Chu partnering inside is actually not the best combination. Farid needs space to rush up, while Xiang Chu needs to be in the low post, and the two cannot open up space for each other.

But there is no conflict. Faried's physical strength and impact type four position can be partnered with most insiders. He can defend without occupying the low post. When there are no more options, his partner Xiang Chu is also good.

Now the main reason is that the outside line cannot be opened, and the ball cannot be passed in at the most suitable time.

After the formation change, Xiang Chu had a lot more space around him, and his operation became much better.

The most important thing is that Xiang Chu is tough enough to get offensive rebounds in a row, and the 76ers can't stop them.

They have no good solution, there is really no one inside.

It seems that going to Hawes is the best way. After the Nuggets caught up with the score, the 76ers chose to make a substitution.

Hawes also tried to interfere with Xiang Chu. He did not try to squeeze the position with Xiang Chu, but covered it with his long arms, trying to interfere after Xiang Chu received the ball.

The 76ers came up with this trick during the halftime break because they had no experience in fighting Xiang Chu. This kind of insider who only has height and lack of confrontation ability can't interfere with the inside tyrant's skills at all.

Xiang Chu tied the score before taking a rest. The advantage is huge, and so is the physical exertion.

While gaining weight, physical strength is also one of the difficulties that must be overcome.

During the rotation period, the Nuggets couldn't keep up, and the 76ers' Nick Young showed off.

Xiang Chu is also a little depressed. I remember that when they played against each other last season, the Nuggets' substitutes were okay.

Corey Brewer felt great in the preseason, but this one was so-so.

It may be that the 76ers have a better rotation. They have three scoring points on the bench, and the Nuggets Gallinari is still a little tight without playing.

At the end of the quarter, Ty Lawson finally felt better, and Xiang Chu also had a good rest for a few minutes.

When Xiang Chu came on the field, the team was still 3 points behind, and it was time for the real decision.

Both sides are mixed lineups, the Nuggets left Andre Miller on the court, Iguodala topped the position of power forward, and also played Fournier, a major and a minor.

The 76ers also kept Hawes and Dorell White, who had a good touch, on the court and went all out to win.

The small lineup of the Nuggets is actually a bit nondescript, and the ability to open space is actually mediocre. Fournier is kept on the court because he has a good shot, and the others are not very stable.

In fact, the team has been experimenting with the lineup during this period of time. If Xiang Chu is really the core, the tactics will have to be changed a lot.

But facing the 76ers is still no problem. No matter what, the 76ers have no one on the inside who can match Xiang Chu, and they dare not attack rashly.

Xiang Chu hit 2 points when he came up, but Holiday immediately hit 2+1. The 76ers guard can be said to be ranked first in the East.

Then Ty Lawson also hit two points, but Ty Lawson was blocked when he attacked again. Fortunately, Xiang Chu caught the ball quickly and gave Iguodala a dunk.

"Hang inside." George Karl also gave instructions from the sidelines at this time.

In the case of one big and four small, it is relatively easy to really hang up. After all, Ty Lawson, Andre Miller and Iguodala all have good passing skills on the court.

Entering the last 3 minutes, Holiday hit two more points.

Xiang Chu frowned. The Nuggets' defensive habits are really bad. Holiday is not Kobe, so he couldn't defend against it with the star style of play.

Xiang Chu slightly interfered with Hawes' three-pointer with his long arm one step away, turned around and got the rebound, and went to the frontcourt to score another ball. Fournier got a chance, but unfortunately missed.

But under the surprised eyes of the fans in the Wells Fargo Center Arena, Xiang Chu grabbed the offensive rebound and made up the ball.

The two sides tied, and in exchange the 76ers made another shot from the outside.

In fact, Xiang Chu's defensive ability is average, but no one inside the 76ers attacks all outside. Jason Richardson missed a three-pointer, and the Nuggets finally ushered in a chance to overtake.

Xiang Chu wanted the ball when he was in position, Hawes couldn't squeeze and went around to defend, Ty Lawson passed the ball to Iguodala, Iguodala blocked behind, Xiang Chu dunked the ball, Hawes didn't There is no way.

84:82, the Nuggets took the lead.

Xiang Chu's ball also stopped the opponent directly. After re-entering the field, Richardson received Holiday's pass and made a hit.

When it was the Nuggets' turn to attack, the 76ers were almost ready to flank Xiang Chu at any time, and Andre Miller took the opportunity to hit.

After the Nuggets defended the next ball, Xiang Chu attracted the attention of the defense, and Ty Lawson broke through to create a kill.

Although it was only two free throws and one hit, there was not much time left for the 76ers. They had to choose a three-pointer or a quick two-pointer.

Ten seconds later, Holiday missed a three-pointer and the Nuggets got off to a good start.

Xiang Chu scored a double-double with 32 points and 19 rebounds, setting career highs in scoring and rebounding.

Facing the reporters after the game, Xiang Chu also had a smile on his face, "The Nuggets are a great team, and we are working hard to win. I am very happy."

George Karl is also very happy, "I know he can, and Xiang Chu will bring good changes to the team. The team's goal this season is very clear, which is to go further in the playoffs."

Raging the 76ers inside, Xiang Chu's fans were all happy and crazy, and there were pieces of overlords on the Internet.

Xiang Chu also updated social media, saying that this is just the beginning.

Although the 76ers are weak inside, but with such data, Xiang Chu has already shown that the All-Star is not a dream, and those who laughed at him no longer have such confidence.

On the same day, the Big Four of the Lakers appeared and were rubbed on the ground by the Blazers.

The media marveled, "The Lakers sent away an inside beast, but they still couldn't reap the victory."

It is normal for the new season to need running-in, and these eye-catching reports did not cause a lot of trouble. After all, Howard also performed very well. The main reason for the loss was that Nash was blown away by rookie Lillard.

But it's okay to turn it into a small topic, Xiang Chu smiled and said nothing as the popularity increased.

After coming to the Nuggets, the rate of improvement in popularity has actually slowed down. He performed well in the preseason, but he didn't receive as much attention as he did in Los Angeles. He doesn't mind getting more popular.

When he really becomes an All-Star, I believe that even in Denver, he can attract the attention of the public.

Xiang Chu is full of confidence. He wants to become stronger, win the victory, and gain attention.
