The strongest basket king

Chapter 195 Increase Difficulty
"Big man, be careful, I'm always worried about your injury when watching the game." Olivia swayed back and forth in Xiang Chu's arms with a rare pure coquettishness.

The Nuggets are still fighting in the last few games, and there are indeed some hidden dangers.

But should they continue to fight? There is hope ahead, and opponents are urging behind. They must fight now.

They don't have the confidence of the Spurs, and they don't care about the ranking at all.

It is also because the Spurs had good results before, and they can keep their home court advantage no matter how they wave, but the Nuggets can't.

Continuous injuries to players have cast a shadow over the Nuggets' prospects for the playoffs, but George Karl still hopes that everyone will work hard and pour a lot of chicken soup every day.

Some people say that he did it for his own contract extension. There may be some reasons for this, but more of it is because he can pick an easier opponent in the first round.

As the coach of Qiansheng, George Karl has a wealth of experience in the playoffs, but there are not many good results, so he is a little worried.

The more injuries there are, the more worried about the results, and the more likely the players will be injured if they are worried about the results. This may become a vicious circle. Fortunately, there are only two games left in the regular season.

"Brothers, we have no regrets this season and won the last two games together." Xiang Chu said to others during training.

He is also going all out. This season has been fighting for this time, and the team has suffered injuries. If he retreats, he may be careful, but he will be depressed to death.

In the penultimate game, the Nuggets challenged the Bucks away.

Unlike the Nuggets, the Bucks' loss or win now has no effect on their playoffs.

If the current position in the West remains unchanged, the most likely opponent for the Nuggets is the Warriors, but the Bucks can be used as an imaginary opponent. The Bucks and Warriors are both outside teams. Although the tactics are not exactly the same, they both like to shoot three-pointers.

The Nuggets started the game like a rainbow, and they played against the Bucks.

The Bucks' backcourt duo Ellis and Jennings didn't start well, and the Nuggets' lead soon came to double digits.

Just when everyone thought that the Bucks had no fighting spirit and the game would be one-sided, something changed on the court.

Chandler and Fournier are now the main players. The main players are very sharp, but the offensive power of the substitute lineup has weakened.

On the Bucks side, JJ-Redick and Dunleavy hit 3 three-pointers when they came up, and the score gap between the two sides narrowed all of a sudden.

The Bucks traded JJ-Redick in the middle of the season, which is a big upgrade to their rotation lineup. The Nuggets regret not taking the lead. Shooters like JJ-Redick and Xiang Chu must be very good.

Brewer didn't feel good this time, and when the Nuggets had no substitutes to score, the Bucks were only 3 points away from the score gap.

And the Nuggets' main lineup didn't feel as good after a break. The Nuggets' outside line has ups and downs, and it's normal for this to happen.

But for the Bucks, Ellis regained his touch and kept hitting two and three points. Xiang Chu blasted the Bucks inside, but he couldn't help the team open the score again.

At halftime, they still only led by 3 points.

"They have no position to fight with us at all. As long as we play resolutely and aggressively, they naturally dare not press too hard." George Karl and the players said.

"Aggression, do you know, don't be afraid of fouls, you guys are much stronger than those outsiders."

The main scoring points of the Bucks are indeed small arms and legs compared with the Nuggets. George Karl has a villainous personality, and he never hides it.

You must know that before his throat got sick, cursing should be one of the best among the coaches.

An outside team like the Bucks is well aware of its advantages, and will not entangle Xiang Chu inside.

Their insides can also be pulled out to shoot, anyway, they are shooting from the outside.

They didn't feel good in the first quarter. Now that they have adjusted, the Nuggets can't open the score for a while.

Xiang Chu was also a little depressed. Did they overestimate their own strength before? It took so much effort to beat a buck.

This is the consequence of losing Gallinari, and the Nuggets couldn't stand up and play on several other outside lines.

Of course, with Xiang Chu on the inside, their score advantage is slowly expanding.

It's just that when the rotation period came, Xiang Chu's lead was gone as soon as Xiang Chu went down.

The Bucks' substitutes are all good at three-pointers, which is very restrained for the Nuggets.

You must know that JJ-Redick cheated the Nuggets before he came to the Bucks. In the second half of the rotation, he hit 3 consecutive three-pointers. Go-ahead.

George Karl made a quick substitution, there was nothing to say, he wanted to win.

Whether it is the team's interests or his own interests, it is necessary to have a record.

After Xiang Chu came on the field, he grabbed an offensive rebound, and the Nuggets quickly took the lead again.

Due to injuries and other reasons, the Bucks are now a pure outside team. The existence of Xiang Chu is difficult for them, and they can only adopt a strategy of hurting each other.

But the difficulty of scoring inside is completely different from outside. If they can't keep up with Xiang Chu's shooting rate, it is impossible to beat the Nuggets.

Monta Ellis felt hot and scored 10 points in half a quarter. This is also an important reason why the Bucks are now able to form a confrontation with the Nuggets. He and Redick shot the Nuggets' outside headache.

Time entered the last 4 minutes, Monta Ellis hit a three-pointer again, and the Bucks took the lead again.

As a strong team in the league, the Nuggets are still stable at this time.

They were not impatient, and took advantage of the Bucks' mentality of wanting to kill them all at once, and completed two beautiful defenses. Xiang Chu and Ty Lawson hit each, and the Nuggets took the lead again.

But then Redick made another three-pointer, and with Ty Lawson also making a mistake, Monta Ellis hit again, and it was the Bucks' turn to lead again.

The two sides took the lead alternately, making the last few minutes of the game extremely intense.

At the critical moment, Xiang Chu scored 6 points in a row, and the Bucks fans were afraid to watch.

They exhausted all methods, and the two insiders who were responsible for defending Xiang Chu had committed six fouls, and there were only 21 seconds left in the time.

The Nuggets led by 3 points, and the team once again had time to defend the three-pointer.

Similar scenes have appeared many times this season. They have succeeded and failed, and they are all impressive.

This time they must be defending Monta Ellis and Redick for two points. They have scored 9 three-pointers in front of them.

The Bucks sent the ball to Monta Ellis. Ellis didn't waste time to attack directly. He chose a strong shot from outside the three-point line.

Fournier rushed over, but what he didn't expect was that the referee's whistle sounded and the ball fell into the basket.

3+1, with a three-point lead, people actually played 3+1. The Nuggets really made it more difficult for themselves.
