The strongest basket king

Chapter 136 Weird
"Duncan, Duncan forced Xiang Chu and caused the latter's foul."

"Oh! Duncan smashed the dunk with one hand. The old Duncan returned to the top tonight, and Xiang Chu ignited his blood."

Xiang Chu immediately popped out a word starting with F. The old guy was so fucking brutal when he erupted. He deserves to be the most powerful forward in the history of the league.

Xiang Chu was more excited, it was so frightening to be able to fight against such a ruthless character.

He still remembers watching the duel between Duncan and O'Neal in front of the TV at that time, which made him very yearning.

No idea, he also has this opportunity now.

Duncan is getting older, and he rarely plays the fifth position. There will not be many opportunities for them to confront each other. This must be cherished.

Xiang Chu no longer considered physical strength and fouls, and didn't even look at the score, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the duel with great players.

After catching the ball, turning around and dunking, Xiang Chu clenched his fist and roared.

Duncan's seriousness seems to have seen the big fat guy of the Lakers back then. There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was no old look on his body.

"Oh, my God, Duncan directly pressed Xiang Chu's dunk. Duncan still has great energy."

"After returning it, Xiang Chu leaped high and blocked Duncan's small hook. It was a wonderful inside duel."

For a few minutes, the entire court watched the battle between the two powerful insiders.

Suddenly Mills made another three-pointer, and his fourth three-pointer in a single quarter brought everyone back to reality.

George Karl requested a timeout, and the Spurs have gone from 15 points behind to only 5 points away.

After the timeout, Gallinari hit a three-pointer, and the Nuggets stabilized the situation.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack, and Duncan hit again. Duncan was definitely not old in this game.

The Nuggets offense handed the ball to Gallinari again, but this time the shot was blocked by Diao.

The Spurs counterattacked quickly, and Parker chased and shot a three-pointer. Ginobili often used this trick. Parker also hit it this time, and the score gap was only 3 points.

George Karl also became anxious on the sidelines. Will the young Nuggets be opponents of the old fritters like the Spurs at the critical moment.

"Give me the ball." On the court, Xiang Chu raised his right hand and demanded the ball loudly.

Iguodala stuffed the ball in, and Duncan wanted to block it again, but this time he was a little powerless.

Duncan fouled for the fourth time, three of which were on Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu made two free throws steadily, and when Duncan came back, he wanted to hit Xiang Chu forcefully again, but this time his strength was obviously weakened. Duncan fought for almost 10 minutes, and finally showed a little fatigue at this time.

Barely making a shot and missing, Xiang Chu took off the rebound and quickly handed it to Ty Lawson. The Nuggets quickly launched a counterattack, and Gallinari completed the final blow.

The gap of 3 has become 7 points. Even the experienced Spurs are a little frustrated at this time.

In the last 2 minutes of time, Duncan caused Xiang Chu to foul again, but he was unable to limit Xiang Chu on the defensive end.

Time is running out, and the Spurs no longer let Duncan attack, but bet on three points.

Danny Green misses, Mills misses, Ginobili misses.

At the end of the game, the Nuggets' perimeter defense finally did not disappoint.

The Spurs did not arrange foul tactics, only when there was no suspense in the last few seconds of the game, Duncan deliberately fouled.

He is probably also a little depressed, he has saved his strength for a long time and broke out once, but he has never been a rookie in the second grade.

But after the game, Duncan praised Xiang Chu, "A great guy, a great opponent, and he can't see fear in his eyes."

"There is nothing to regret about losing. We played badly at one point and we got into their rhythm, but we never gave up."

邓肯这场比赛拿下31分18篮板还有6次助攻5次盖帽，职业生涯突破23000分，球队主教练波波维奇接受采访时全部都是对这位老将的赞美。

"He can't do what he did when he was 24, but he's still the cornerstone of our defense."

"We were back-to-back in this game. I wanted him to truce, but he didn't look at me at all. He wanted to play."

"I couldn't be more proud of the team's efforts," Popovich said. "We asked the players to dig deep into their potential, and they did."

Then he laughed, "That young man Xiang Chu is a bit hateful, he took out our hearts."

Xiang Chu scored 29 points, 17 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots. He was even happier in the matchup with Duncan.

"You know, he is one of the best insiders in the history of the league. I am his fan. It is really a magical experience to be able to fight face to face on the court."

George Karl said, "Duncan is not only an excellent shot blocker, but also the best defensive big man I have ever seen in the history of basketball."

"We lost control of the pace of the game at the end of the game, but thank God we didn't lose the game."

George Karl also talked about the ups and downs of the team during this period, "This is the worst schedule I have ever encountered."

After defeating the Spurs, the young Nuggets are in a good mood.

Between practices, they stood together to discuss the form of the West.

"We should get out of the current situation as soon as possible. We can stand with the Thunder and the Spurs."

"That's right, even the Warriors have entered the top four in the Western Conference. How can we be better than them?"

In their view, the Warriors, who were still fat last year, and the Grizzlies, who are considered strong but not strong enough, are not as strong as their lineup, and they are at least at the level of the Clippers.

The Lakers of the four generals have an unexpectedly poor record, so everyone in the West should have a chance.

On the 20th, the Nuggets came to Portland to play against the ninth Trail Blazers in the West.

In this game, Aldridge, the first scoring point of the Blazers, was rested with a sprained ankle. The No. 30 rookie Joel Freeland replaced the starter, and the Blazers' inside grades dropped a lot.

Facing the remnant Trail Blazers, the Nuggets have a great advantage on the board.

But I didn't expect the Blazers to hit a three-pointer as soon as they came up, but the Nuggets' outside lines were all inaccurate.

Not just outside, it should be said that other than Xiang Chu, other players are sleepwalking.

The first 10 points of the team were all scored by Xiang Chu alone, and the Blazers gained a double-digit lead with just ordinary points.

George Karl began to adjust from more than four minutes, but it was useless to change a few lineups.

Xiang Chu could only score in the three-second zone, and so did the others. Except for breaking in and scoring, the Nuggets didn't even hit a single shot from outside. It felt like they were cursed.

Xiang Chu encountered such a situation for the first time, but as a professional athlete, as an excellent basketball player who aspires to become the leader of the team, Xiang Chu cannot be intimidated when encountering difficulties.

He loudly encouraged his teammates on the field, "Come on everyone, let's start with defense."
