The strongest basket king

Chapter 129

Xiang Chu was in a good mood when he was resting on the court, because the Nuggets' rotation players played well.

Mainly Brewer, he came up and hit consecutively, and even tied the score with Mozgov.

After Xiang Chu went up, he was still overwhelmed in the interior, and beat Hibbert and Mahinmi, the Pacers' two interiors, extremely sluggish.

"It's really too strong. Xiang Chu has been fully upgraded this season. I think he can win the Most Improved Player."

"Hibert should be too tough. Is he worried about fouling? He shouldn't let Xiang Chu get so many points."

"Xiang Chu dunked again. Hibbert stood behind him and didn't react at all. This is not a matchup at all. The Pacers must find a way."

The Pacers have no more options. It is not easy to deal with Xiang Chu's pincers, unless they pinch without the ball, but that is too exaggerated. They let David West bully Faried.

David West actually had a higher shooting percentage than Xiang Chu in the first half, but his offense was easier to destroy.

Because of the lead ahead, the Pacers did not adjust their tactics in time. At the end of the second quarter, the Nuggets went ahead by 1 point and entered the intermission.

The Pacers are also considering whether to restrict Xiang Chu, but after careful consideration, they still feel that it is much easier to strangle the Nuggets' perimeter.

In the third quarter, they still suppressed the Nuggets' perimeter.

Paul George performed bravely, and the Nuggets couldn't limit it at all.

However, the Nuggets also took care of the Pacers inside, including David West.

Then a very strange scene appeared on the court. The Pacers chased the Nuggets outside to play, and the Nuggets rubbed against the Pacers' inside.

Just like this, the two teams are still playing inextricably.

The score was always tied, and the scores of the two teams were tied seven or eight times in one quarter.

The variable is still in the rotation period. The Pacers' bench is really bad to a certain extent, and no one can stand up. On the Nuggets' side, Miller, Brewer and Mozgov are all playing well.

Sitting on the bench, you can see the team leading. Xiang Chu is in a very good mood.

He is happy even if the Internet says that he has a cancerous stone hammer. When the rotation is dominant, it is really much easier for their main players to play the game.

Xiang Chu rested for a full 5 minutes before coming up. The team will be more stable when he comes up.

They didn't lead much, always hovering at 4 points and 6 points, but the Pacers just couldn't catch up.

The rest of them are not reliable, only Paul George always has the advantage.

In the last 5 minutes, Paul George showed off his power and scored two consecutive three-pointers, which shocked the Nuggets into a cold sweat.

To be honest, they are all a bit psychologically shadowed about the three-pointer.

Fortunately, the old Miller, who stayed on the field instead of Faried, stabilized. He passed Xiang Chu to the basket in seconds, and hit two consecutive mid-range shots from the outside.

Three minutes later, the Nuggets stabilized their advantage again, and it was the Pacers' turn to worry.

They shot three-pointers in a row, but at this time the Nuggets also knew to block the three-point line.

If they are really good, there is nothing they can do, but unfortunately they are just ordinary people. George Hill hit three three-pointers, even if Paul George hit another three-pointer at the last moment, it would not help.

Time was running out, and the Nuggets firmly held the victory in their hands.

With 37 points and 15 rebounds, Xiang Chu let the Pacers know what cruelty is.

Pacers coach Frank Vogel said after the game, "It's my fault for losing the game. I should make adjustments. We let Xiang Chu score too many points in the paint."

George Karl was in a happy mood. He told reporters: "Xiang Chu is such a great player. As long as we give him the ball, he can handle everything."

Two days later, the Nuggets came to New York to play against the second-ranked Knicks in the East.

The Knicks are without Jeremy Lin and Stoudemire is injured again, but they are off to a better start than they were last year.

In the summer, they signed the veteran Kidd, traded back Raymond Felton, and completely shifted the offense to the perimeter.

However, they have Chandler with outstanding defense inside, and they can also compete with teams with inside.

The Knicks started directly with one big and four small, and Anthony was directly placed at the fourth position.

The Nuggets attacked the inside from the beginning, and Xiang Chu assisted Faried to complete the dunk.

Since Xiang Chu can interact with Howard, there is no need to worry too much about other insiders, so the Nuggets' tactics have clearly tilted towards the inside.

The Nuggets got off to a better start, but the Knicks got off the ground with a three-pointer.

Anthony played singles, and other outsiders waited for opportunities outside the three-point line. Chandler protected the inside, but the Nuggets were not easy to restrict. The key is that no one can match Anthony.

Anthony didn't feel good at the beginning, but he made consecutive kills and led the team to catch up with the score.

After Xiang Chu hit Chandler twice, the other party realized that something was wrong and immediately fought him hand to hand.

Chandler is not very heavy, but he has a thick frame and good strength. He does his best to defend regardless of offense, but he is actually more troublesome than Howard.

One of the reasons why Xiang Chu and Howard exploded before was that Howard also focused on offense.

Chandler didn't care about attacking, and Xiang Chu didn't feel so comfortable fighting.

However, under his suppression in the first quarter, the Nuggets still maintained the lead.

After he went down, Chandler also went down. The Knicks stopped playing center and started playing purely small lineups.

There is also an unreasonable nerve knife in their rotation, and that is JR-Smith.

The Knicks started this season well, which is also related to the state of JR-Smith. He is now the Knicks' second scoring point.

Teams that put strong scoring points on the bench are insidious. Xiang Chu has a deep memory in the Lakers last season.

This game is obviously troublesome. The old Nuggets Miller and Brewer both played well, but they didn't have as many points as JR-Smith. He scored 10 points when he came up, and the Knicks also led the score.

Xiang Chu played, and Chandler also played, and the two began to fight again.

Chandler is indeed experienced. After he found out that Xiang Chu's opponent was not directly grabbing a rebound, he immediately blocked him, which made Xiang Chu very uncomfortable.

But it's nothing like this on the basketball court, it's depressing to be deceived by acting skills.

Restrictions are mutual, Chandler actually pays better, the Knicks' inside scoring is basically abolished, and the Nuggets are slowly catching up.

But at the end of the second quarter, Anthony showed his super scorer ability.

Anthony first hit a three-pointer, and then made a three-point foul. With 6 points in a row, the Knicks also entered the intermission with a 3-point lead.

The Nuggets can actually accept this result, but how to limit the Knicks' strengths, they need to come up with countermeasures.

In many games this season, the Nuggets are really not inferior in strength, but that they are less prepared to deal with critical moments, or that they have not fully utilized their respective combat capabilities.
