The strongest basket king

Chapter 208
It was only the second game between the Nuggets and the Spurs, and it was impossible for Xiang Chu to play the entire game.

After he went down, the Nuggets let Iguodala lead the team, also to lock Ginobili.

In addition to offense during the rotation period, Ginobili's biggest role is organization. As he gets older and his scoring power decreases, organization becomes more important.

What Iguodala has to do is not let the opponent connect the team together.

The Spurs' defense is much better than that of the Lakers, and Iguodala can't contribute to the offensive end like in the first round, so he puts more energy on organization and defense, which is exactly what the Nuggets need him to do.

The arrangement of the Nuggets was very successful, and Ginobili did play well against Iguodala.

On the offensive end, Miller Sr. hit the mid-range shot very steadily.

The Nuggets took the lead again, and after only 2 minutes, Popovich couldn't wait any longer, and the Spurs took the lead in adjusting for the first time.

For the Nuggets, the Spurs are still very important, especially after the Thunder has a problem, the Nuggets may be the toughest opponent in the Western Conference playoffs, because Xiang Chu is stronger than expected.

If they can play two away games in a row, the tough Nuggets will lose heart.

The Spurs also have no choice but to take a gamble. If they entangle with the Nuggets for a long time, they will consume too much of the veteran Spurs, but the Spurs have a bigger goal.

In addition to Splitter, the other four main players played, plus Bonner, this is also an attacking lineup other than the Spurs' first and fourth juniors, and this lineup is higher than the pure first and fourth juniors.

With the Spurs making substitutions, the Nuggets must follow suit.

Xiang Chu was the one who played the longest in the game, so he had to work hard to bring out all his strength at this time.

The Spurs came up with this lineup, and Parker scored 5 points in a row.

Parker really can't help this point, and this buddy has also made a lot of three-pointers this season.

However, Xiang Chu immediately beat Duncan five times.

After Duncan went to rest, Xiang Chu immediately scored 6 points in a row. It wasn't just Duncan who was in foul trouble, Splitter and Bonner were the same. Among the Spurs' insiders, except for the short Dior, all five fouls.

On the spot, my God, my God sighed, Xiang Chu was really strong, and he destroyed the entire inside line of the Spurs by himself, not just suppressing like he did on the field, this time he was directly defeated.

The Spurs had no choice but to go to a smaller lineup, flanking Xiang Chu on the defensive end, and attempted a three-pointer on offense.

It's just that under the blockade of the Nuggets, they missed several consecutive three-pointers.

For the Nuggets, Iguodala and Chandler both scored successively. The Nuggets stabilized their lead and the Spurs chose to pause.

If they let Bonner play again, they will not be able to defend against Xiang Chu.

It's just that Bonner wasn't as accurate as he was on the court this time. Role players are like this and can't play stably.

Seeing that the Nuggets are going to take the opportunity to open up the score, the Spurs play Duncan again, and their lineup has become Duncan's five-player one and four juniors. The outside line plus Ginobili is their decisive lineup.

However, Duncan's state was a bit wrong in the second half. The increase in fouls was also due to the premature exertion in the first half.

At 1 minute and 21 seconds, Xiang Chu scored 2+1 from the basket, and Duncan left the field with six fouls.

After he hit the free throw, the Nuggets had already led by 9 points, and then Parker missed a three-pointer, and the game was sealed.

At home, the Nuggets pulled back a round and the score became 1:1.

Xiang Chu scored 31 points and 18 rebounds, blasting the Spurs inside.

After the game, George Karl praised his disciples, "I don't know what to say, he just has this kind of aggressiveness, he has full courage, he has a big heart, this is the second time he has played in the playoffs, these things You can't teach that, his aggressiveness is very important to us."

Popovich said with a cold face, "They played very well, that's what I think."

Xiang Chuben was not complacent because of this kind of performance. In the constant game simulation, he had foreseen his own performance, and he cared more about the outcome of the game.

He said calmly: "We seized the opportunity this time, but we still lost a home game. We have to go to San Antonio to get it back."

Regarding the rumors of internal strife, he completely denied, "We will discuss for victory, and then go all out in the game. This is what a team that chases points and wins should do."

In fact, they really have no infighting, Ty Lawson is just a little unprofessional.

At the same time, the Heat slaughtered the Bulls with 37 points. This game also proved that they have a big gap.

James broke out at the beginning of the game, and the Bulls couldn't stop it at first.

After James broke out, Ray Allen and Cole broke out on the Heat's bench, and the Bulls had no one to stand up. The Heat are better than the Nets.

If there is no accident in their duel, it depends on whether the Bulls can support them more.

Before going to the away game, all teams will have one more day to adjust their time.

The Nuggets mainly watched the video. The training was very simple. The confrontation with the Spurs was more costly than the first round. Now they are mainly recovering their physical condition.

Don't look at Xiang Chu fighting the Spurs inside one-on-four, his fatigue has also doubled.

The magical skill is easy to use, and there is nothing to say about the consumption of physical strength. If he hadn't accumulated a lot of physical strength after the first round, he would definitely not have such a glory.

Now I just don't know how the opponent will adjust when they go to the Spurs' home court.

Anyway, Xiang Chu conducted simulation training again. It is reasonable that the opponent's various methods were reflected in the simulation game, but the game cannot be handled by him alone. They should pay more attention to the Spurs' outside line.

And this time they will play first. In the second round, the Thunder team played first, and now they are replaced. That is to say, the adjustment for one more day will be put on the other team. group day.

The Nuggets are not afraid. They are younger than the Spurs, so they don't believe that the opponent's physical strength will be better.

Having said that, but the away game will still be affected.

Therefore, sometimes the player's willpower is very important in the playoffs.

Xiang Chu also worked hard to adjust his state after the exhaustion. As a professional athlete, everyone has their own method. Before warming up, Xiang Chu did a short-term strength training to make his body enter the competition state faster.

SBC Center, the auditorium is full of opponents' supporters.

Playing in the encirclement of the opponent is another experience, and now Xiang Chu is very comfortable with it.

The cheers from the fans make his blood boil, but the stares of his opponents also make him firm in his determination.

"Guys, we're second in the West, we're the better team, whether it's in Denver or not," George Karl said loudly.

Xiang Chu and his teammates rushed out of the locker room to meet new challenges.

In competitive sports, there is only one winner.
