The strongest basket king

Chapter 122
Xiang Chu's 20 points and 15 rebounds are not as good as Love's statistics, but it is cool to win.

Fans on social media are all moved by him sacrificing statistics for the team's victory. Xiang Chu is overjoyed. Is the big double double also sacrificing statistics? This season he is very good.

On the contrary, the rebounds are very stable. It is estimated that Howard will test this aspect when he touches the Lakers.

In fact, how to play the Nuggets, the Timberwolves have given a model, but they can't make three-pointers. With a big meat shield on the inside and three-pointers on the outside, it is more difficult for the Nuggets to play.

Xiang Chu looked at the heat value, and it has already passed five thousand. When the next magic trick comes out, other teams will find that their targeted defensive tactics will become obsolete in a short time.

After the outside world has gotten used to his big double-double, the growth rate of popularity has slowed down. The popularity of the Nuggets is indeed a little less. It's not like some players on the team can make news even if they do anything.

It is necessary to prepare for the All-Star voting in advance. It is not easy to clearly incite the fans, but fortunately, Olivia can play and cause trouble.

Even if someone finds out about their relationship, it doesn't matter if his girlfriend thinks he's the best.

Xiang Chu is aiming at the starting position of the All-Stars in the Western Conference, and he must build momentum early. For example, passing on Warcraft just took advantage of the weaker Eastern Conference. In fact, the number one center is Xiang Chu and the like.

Now the Lakers are still struggling below the top eight in the Western Conference. Howard often plays like an ordinary blue-collar. He can only grab rebounds and block shots and has no chance to attack. I feel that the status of the team is not as good as Bynum before. The No. [-] center in the West is nothing.

Moreover, he draws two more magical skills, and it is no problem to directly remove the West and be called the first center.

What's more, the league lacks a center right now, and Bynum doesn't know when he will be able to come back. Who is the strongest center in the east? Is Chandler the top blue-collar? Who else is there in the west besides Howard and Xiang Chu? Bro Saul?

After being edited by Xiang Chu, Olivia's article boasting about Xiang Chu was posted on social media.

Xiang Chu is the strongest center in the West. If this was put on a month ago, others would die of laughter. Now Howard is playing a mess in the Lakers. Not only Xiang Chu's die-hard fans agree with this statement, but many neutral fans also quite support it.

On December 12, the Warriors rebelled against Denver.

The Warriors started this season really well, and their current ranking is just above the Nuggets.

Now this Warriors team has very strong offensive power, almost at the level of when Curry and Ellis played double guns in the backcourt, and the defense is better than that, and the results are normal.

When we met again, everyone started the same game, but the tactics were more targeted.

Ty Lawson stared at Curry. Last time he was blasted too badly, he must save face.

As for Ai Zeli, he tried his best to deal with Xiang Chu. Everyone knew about Xiang Chu's current situation. The way he used to deal with Warcraft could also be used against him. The efficiency depends on the players who implement it.

Ai Zeli still played well. Although he couldn't score a point in front of Xiang Chu, he didn't let Xiang Chu get what he wanted like last time.

But the Warriors are not a defensive team. They have to attack aggressively. Azeri limited Xiang Chu a little bit, but they were still behind in the score, so they quickly removed the pure fifth position and started to play a small lineup. .

For them, if Landry plays the fifth position, or the second-round pick Draymond Green sits inside, they can play the offense they want most. In short, it is two words, speed up.

After Aizeli went down, their inside defense was a bit worse, but the offense came out.

Curry didn't do Ty Lawson this time, but Klay Thompson and David Lee played very well, and Jarrett Jack, who came off the bench, also made consecutive hits.

Especially Klay Thompson, who made four three-pointers and the Nuggets didn't want them.

The opponent's three-pointer soared, and Xiang Chu's role was weakened a lot. If the Warriors' defense was stronger, the Nuggets would be really difficult to play, but now it is to see who can take the initiative more.

The Warriors played much better than last time, especially in the second quarter when they came off the bench and overtook the score.

By the time of the halftime break, they also maintained the lead.

The Nuggets' rotation is still affected by injuries. Among the several combat forces, only Brewer and Miller Sr. remain healthy, and the others are on and off, which is not good for the team's record.

Fortunately, this is the beginning of the season. If the team adjusts well now so that all the main forces can play in the playoffs, the Nuggets will not lose.

This time, we really need to emphasize rhythm and defense. The Warriors use a small lineup and don't need all players to score. If this continues, the Nuggets may really lose.

Rhythm, the Warriors also have a lot of players who can play. The easiest way to limit the small lineup is to slow down the rhythm. It just so happens that they have Xiang Chu, an inside killer, and they can slowly grind their positions.

If it was last season, the Nuggets could only compete with the Warriors in a small lineup. They didn't shoot so well, and they might end up losing the game.

But this season they have something to do, the situation is completely different.

In the second half, Xiang Chu played 2+1, and the team quickly overtook the score.

After the Nuggets deliberately slowed down the rhythm, the Warriors were very uncomfortable. They adjusted several times within a few minutes, but they failed to change the situation.

The Nuggets' rebounds are pressing the Warriors, and it is not so easy for the Warriors to dominate the rhythm.

They got up in the first half after Xiang Chu went down, and then the Nuggets wanted to combine speed and speed to quickly turn the score before the Warriors got a chance. Now that the Nuggets are playing steadily, the Warriors are not so easy to handle.

At this time, the core of the team usually needs to stand up and break the game, but Curry is not in a good state today.

Their inside line became that Landry completely gave up defense and then started to attack. But at this time, the Nuggets hold the lead and are not racing against them. It is not easy for the Warriors to chase points.

Under Xiang Chu's restraint, Iguodala hit two three-pointers, and the Nuggets also went from being 7 points behind to leading by 8 points.

Teams that rely purely on offense are prone to this situation, soaring unstoppably, if they don't score, they are easy to be hit by others.

But the Warriors have no other options. If they don't use the offensive lineup, they will not be able to recover from the score behind.

But the less defensive, the wider the score gap, and the Warriors entered a vicious circle.

In the last few minutes, Curry finally got the touch and hit two consecutive three-pointers.

But it's too late, and now he can only make the Warriors' loss less ugly.

The Nuggets finally won the opponent 104:93 and won three consecutive victories. Xiang Chu played only 30 minutes and scored 21 points and 12 rebounds, which was an unremarkable double-double.

This season, it was as easy for him to get a double-double as eating and drinking. While he was happy, he didn't relax at all. It was so cool to be arrogant on the court. Of course, he had to work harder to become stronger.
