The strongest basket king

Chapter 197

The playoffs are different from the regular season. It is not very clear to the fans what the difference is. They only know that the most exciting time of the season is coming.

In the west, the Spurs and Warriors are the first to play.

The two teams launched an offensive battle, and the Spurs, who played dead at the end of the season, came alive.

Curry scored 44 points, but in the end it was Ginobili's three-pointer.

It is worth mentioning that the Spurs hit more three-pointers than the Warriors. The styles of the two teams also illustrate the changes in the current league teams, with more and more three-pointers.

Judging from this match, the gap between the two sides is not that big, it all depends on who is more accurate.

The Warriors have grown too fast. There are only two weak teams in the Western Conference this season. It is necessary for the Nuggets to make efforts at the last moment to become the second in the Western Conference.

In another game in the West, the Clippers beat the Grizzlies at home.

The Clippers team had an accident at the end of this season. Their boss was ordered by the league to sell the team because of racially discriminatory remarks. At that time, the Clippers, whose record was already a bit unstable, were affected, but they finally kept their home court advantage in the playoffs. .

This time they completely win on the bench, the Grizzlies' bench is too weak, and the Clippers have Crawford, Barnes and Bledsoe.

However, the Grizzlies team is a bit slow and full of resilience, and the outcome of a game can't explain anything.

In the east, the Knicks and the Celtics had a defensive battle. Relying on Anthony's 36-point unsolvable performance, the Knicks reversed their opponents in the final quarter and won the game.

The Celtics had no one to score in the fourth quarter. Pierce and Garnett were really old.

No one in their rotation can match JR-Smith, and it is normal to lose.

In the game between the Nets and the Bulls, the Nets won the Bulls by relying on more points.

The problem with the Bulls is that their scoring ability is worrying, but they are also a team with great resilience. If the Nets can't handle their entanglement after a few games, it is still unclear who the two teams will be able to enter the next round.

On April 4, it was finally the turn of the Nuggets to play.

Xiang Chu was full of arrogance in the interview before the game, "It is obvious who can win the game. If you don't understand, you can check our home results."

Howard is also full of momentum, "I know how to win games in the playoffs."

The verbal battle before the game is insignificant, and the key to who can win the game depends on the performance in the game.

The Nuggets did not change their lineup because of the twin towers, and they are still one big and four small.

The Lakers play double guards, with Nash partnering with Blake, and Artest at the third position.

Howard won the jumper and Nash hit a shot off a Gasol screen.

Howard was triumphant, "Boy, I said it, the playoffs are completely different, you still need to learn."

It's a pity that this buddy always speaks too early. Xiang Chu then hit the low post twice in a row, but Howard's counterattack was ironclad.

It gives people the impression that Xiang Chu's skills are already stronger than Howard's.

Fans who are familiar with each matchup between the two are also lamented. At the beginning, Xiang Chu didn't show any skills on the offensive end, except for dunks and putbacks.

Xiang Chu also had an absolute advantage in rebounding, causing Howard to quickly become a pure blue-collar. When grabbing rebounds, he pushed Xiang Chu out and let Gasol grab them.

"Why, is that all you have? The playoffs are different, are you even weaker?"

Under Xiang Chu's provocation, Howard couldn't help but want to block the shot and fouled.

D'Antoni was in a hurry and shouted at Howard from time to time on the court.

The Nuggets want to block Howard, and the Lakers also want to deal with Xiang Chu. The Nuggets' perimeter is as slow as ever.

Fournier may have been nervous for the first time in the playoffs, and missed both open shots.

But generally speaking, the Nuggets are a little better, and the Lakers' outside line is also a mess. Nash can't do it after scoring one in the opening game.

Insider Xiang Chu had the advantage again, and Gasol scored, but their lineup of the twin towers couldn't keep up with the Nuggets. Twice, Xiang Chu got the rebound and handed it to his teammates to counterattack. The Nuggets shot slowly. , but the counterattack was good, and they also took the lead.

"Niubi, Bawang didn't worry about being a substitute for the Lakers last season. This is his second playoff game. I knew he would not lose the chain."

"Don't look at me like that. If I become a fan in the future, it won't matter. The Nuggets don't play the Rockets. I support both teams."

"It's really cool. I was worried that the Overlord would not go so smoothly against the monsters this time. I will review it. The Overlord is mighty."

Xiang Chu beat Warcraft in the first quarter, and gained another wave of fans in Huaguo.

The Huaguo side of the Nuggets game has less fans, and the fan base there still has great potential to be tapped.

The Nuggets now have two rotation players who have become the main force, but when it comes to the bench, they still have the advantage. The Lakers' bench is really not enough.

The game continued to expand, reaching double digits.

The Warcraft who played again was finally furious, and confronted Xiang Chu head-on at all costs.

Unlike the Nuggets, the Lakers have a good passing point, not Nash, but Gasol's high pass inside.

The Nuggets have nothing to match up with Gasol now, and his passing is difficult to be interfered with.

Xiang Chu is also very envious. If the Nuggets also have a player like Gasol, he might be able to win the scoring champion. The gap between him and the scoring champion Anthony is only 3 points per game.

It's not that Gasol's passing ability is better than Nash's, but it's not so easy to pass from the outside to the inside. It's much easier to have a big man as a transfer station.

With Howard's full strength, the Lakers narrowed the score gap between the two teams to single digits. Xiang Chu also paid the price of two fouls, but Howard has fouled three times.

After playing several times in a row, Howard also stiffened up, and his elbow was raised inadvertently.

"Boy, you are not arrogant, you are nothing."

"Guys who are behind in the score, you may win if you brag."

Xiang Chu suffocated Howard to death with a single sentence, and Howard thought he was sick to talk trash to Xiang Chu.

Leading by 7 points at halftime, this is still the performance of the Nuggets' outside line. Xiang Chu is still quite satisfied.

George Karl was also quite satisfied. The Nuggets didn't let the Lakers play a bombardment rhythm in the first half, nor did they let them hit any shots from the outside.

"Guys, this is Denver, just fuck 'em, don't worry, that's what the playoffs are about, we're fighting."

"Yes, we are going to win a victory today." Xiang Chu echoed, "I will take care of Howard, and you will take care of the rest. We will win this game."

"Come on, come on!" All the Nuggets players shouted slogans and walked outside.

In the second half, the owners of this stadium will still be them.
