The strongest basket king

Chapter 179 Key Matches
"Hey, Xiang, we need to talk, I can take on more offensive responsibilities now." On the training ground, Ty Lawson spoke briskly.

Xiang Chu smiled slightly: "Then you should go to the coach. My position is very simple. As long as it helps the team win, I will support it."

"That's for sure." Ty Lawson is full of confidence. "That's for sure. In the playoffs, only inside offense is not enough."

Xiang Chu didn't say much. In fact, he is also happy that Ty Lawson can perform better. He doesn't care about a little bit of statistics. He hopes that the team can go further in the playoffs.

But if Ty Lawson can't do it, don't mess with the tactics.

Xiang Chu currently has the best tactical position in the team, but Ty Lawson is relatively more popular.

Soon he just concentrates on training and won't play with other people.

This is actually not a problem. It is still a matter of the length of time in the team. No matter how high the tactical status of Xiang Chu is, he is still a sophomore who has only been here for one season.

Xiang Chu has nothing to worry about. George Karl is a senior coach, so he shouldn't have done anything.

Sure enough, Ty Lawson, who went to see the coach, was not as excited as before.

Now the team is going strong.There wouldn't really be any fights for power and profit, at most it would be just a little bit uncomfortable, Xiang Chu was too enviable.

On March 3, the Nuggets ushered in New York's challenge at home.

The Knicks have a good record this season, mainly due to Anthony's steady outbreak and JR-Smith's unreasonable offense in the rotation.

Moreover, after Mike Woodson became the team's head coach, he also did a good job of defending.

Tyson Chandler is the Nuggets inside defensive champion, he also has enough height, but facing Xiang Chu, he can't play the usual level.

Chandler's weight is not enough, Xiang Chu wants to develop more and more heavy inside, this is not his area of ​​expertise, of course he can barely become a meat shield, he still has strength.

What the Knicks really want to compete with the Nuggets is offense, and they are also big three-pointers.

After Gallinari's return, he will be of great help to the Nuggets, because he can also defend, and he can use his height to interfere with Anthony. Although it cannot be completely restricted, it can lower the opponent's efficiency.

Anthony didn't feel very good in the first quarter, but he took a lot of shots, causing the Knicks to be overwhelmed by the Nuggets in the score.

In fact, the Knicks, Lakers, and Thunder are all supported by the team's strong individual scoring, and the reason why the records of several teams are different is mainly because the Lakers' defense can't keep up.

Seeing that the Nuggets' lead may expand, the Knicks are also dispatching troops. They hope to use the rotation to regain the disadvantage.

With JR-Smith in, the Knicks' rotation has been strong.

But what they didn't expect was that JR-Smith didn't play Chandler of the Nuggets this time.

After Wilson Chandler came up, he suppressed the opponent on both ends of the offense and defense, or JR-Smith was not in good condition.

The Knicks' offense has indeed been a bit problematic these days. After all, they are playing away games in the West. Their team's offense relies too much on two strong points. Before they came to Denver, they had just been humiliated by the Warriors.

Relying on the play of the rotation lineup, the Nuggets' lead has reached double digits.

After switching to the main lineup, Anthony wanted to solve the problem through singles.

This was originally the safest way for the Knicks to score, but Gallinari's defense was in place today. Under Anthony's continuous strikes, the score gap in doubles quickly came to 20+.

This is something that no one thought of. The Nuggets can prepare for a hard fight before the game.

In fact, the Knicks' style of play restrained the Nuggets slightly, and the Nuggets have always done a good job in restricting their outside strength. I didn't expect the battle to end so quickly.

In the second half, the Knicks simply started with a small lineup, regardless of Xiang Chu.

There are too few teams in the league to defend Xiang Chu inside, but to pull out the inside, most teams in the league now have this configuration.

I don't know when it started, but inside players are better at squatting on the outside.

It's just that when the Nuggets themselves have no problems, this counter-offensive tactic doesn't have much effect on them. The Nuggets are already strong in offense.

Xiang Chu was replaced after hitting double figures on the basketball court, and the game quickly became garbage time. The current Nuggets feel unstoppable.

Ten consecutive victories, still so neat.

Xiang Chu was also in a happy mood when answering the reporter's question, "I said earlier that we are a very strong team."

"The winning streak will end, and more importantly, we have found the key to winning."

"Our form will definitely carry over to the playoffs, but we have to focus on the present first."

On the same day, the Grizzlies defeated the Clippers, and the rankings from third to fifth in the West may change soon. In the last month of the season, whoever capsizes in the gutter will have a great impact.

Of course, the Nuggets will face the Grizzlies directly, and they will drop to fifth if they lose.

The teams that have given up the season are all fishing, and their playoff teams are much more tired.

The Nuggets are at home, and they rarely conduct targeted training during training. Generally, this kind of situation will only appear in the playoffs. Now we must be more cautious for the Western Conference rankings.

The Grizzlies traded Rudy Gay, once the number one scoring point, and completely became an inside offensive team. Of course, they also have Conley on the outside.

The Nuggets' lineup is actually slightly restrained against the Grizzlies. Unless the Grizzlies can beat Xiang Chu again, it will be really difficult for them to come to Denver.

What the Nuggets have to do is actually simpler, otherwise the opponent's outside line will be able to perform at a super level.

The Grizzlies are the strongest shield in the West, but their offense may offset their defensive advantages.

On the day of the game, Xiang Chu's supporters came to the stadium early.

On the square outside the stadium, there are also fans wearing jerseys and holding banners.

Not to mention the countless fans watching the live broadcast, they like to watch Xiang Chu play, and hope that he can win the key matchup.

There are only a dozen games left, and the ranking competition at this time is likely to make the final result.

Xiang Chu was interviewed before the game. His expression was relaxed, "I'm not afraid of fouls. This is what they should worry about. The three-second zone is my kingdom."

Bawang can also be understood as a lord in American culture. Xiang Chu's answer is very domineering.

The League is not a place that advocates modesty. Xiang Chu's answer will naturally arouse many people's rebuttals, but if he dare not even talk about it, more people will despise him.

On March 3th, at the Pepsi Center, the two teams faced off.

It is not just the fans of both sides who are paying attention to the game. In the final stage of the regular season, every collision between the Western Conference teams may affect the playoff pattern.

And the Nuggets, they just want to win.
