The strongest basket king

Chapter 209 Different endings
In the third game between the Nuggets and the Spurs, the Spurs let Duncan storm from the beginning.

This is what the Nuggets didn't expect. The opponent who played was because Duncan started to use too much force and couldn't stand it later, and they still did this.

Championship coach Popovich will not make low-level mistakes, it can only show that the Spurs care about it.

Whatever it is, what the Nuggets have to do now is try to limit the opponent's offense.

The Spurs' restrictions on Xiang Chu have not changed, and he has no way to do his best.

His stats in the first two games were good, but it wasn't that he was able to kill the Quartet at the beginning. It was an opportunity he finally found through incentive confrontation.

Faried can't defend against Duncan. Duncan is too good at using his advantages.

George Karl didn't let Xiang Chu go over to switch defenses, he hoped to consume Duncan first.

Faried can still play some role against the Spurs in the regular season, but his contribution will drop when the team can't make it to the playoffs. Try your best.

The Spurs' outside Parker was not very accurate, but Leonard stood up.

Leonard is usually low-key and doesn't feel it. It was only in the playoffs that he realized that this player has good physical fitness and good shooting. The Nuggets can score as long as they don't pay attention to him.

When the Spurs Duncan was attacking, the team's rhythm was slower. At this time, the Nuggets did not quickly enter the state from the outside, and the two teams were stalemate in a relatively slow rhythm.

In order not to consume too much energy needlessly, Xiang Chu wanted to play very concisely.

He shoots quickly when he has a chance, and passes out when he doesn't have a chance. He plays a bit like he can only attack at the basket, but his threat is no longer the same. Most of the power is on him.

This time the two teams adjusted at the same time, with the Spurs on Bonner and the Nuggets on Brewer.

By the time of the third game, the Nuggets actually already knew a lot about the big Spurs pitcher and would not let him easily have a chance to perform.

In the first quarter of the game, the Nuggets trailed by 2 points.

Xiang Chu played succinctly but still scored a little more than Duncan. The main reason was that he found a chance to force it. It was a bit unsolvable. If the Spurs hadn't thrown another three-pointer from the bench, they would still have a chance to lead.

The Spurs are great, but they still don't know which role player will break out.

This time it was Gary Neal, the three-pointer who showed his power during the rotation time.

Seeing that the Spurs were likely to open the score, Xiang Chu took a 3-minute break to play quickly.

Xiang Chu scored as soon as he came on the field, and Splitter didn't hold back.

He can't be blamed for this, the difference between Xiang Chu and other insiders is too great, and his previous experience is useless at all.

Xiang Chu scored from the inside, and Iguodala hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the Nuggets tied the score all at once.

The Spurs had no choice but to replace Duncan.

Duncan just rested for two minutes than Xiang Chuduo. For the old players who came up and played hard inside, they didn't have enough physical strength to recover.

But Duncan came up and fought hard again, this time facing Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu's matchup with Duncan can be said to be very experienced, and the popularity of the simulated game is not in vain.

It's just that players of Duncan's level can't be completely restricted even if they can't explode for a long time.

After Duncan came up, the score between the two sides was deadlocked again.

Splitter can only defend on the court, and the effect must be much worse than Duncan.

The Spurs have been finding a balance between offense and defense, because they have too many players who can play. Popovich is using various combinations, but the Nuggets are simpler here, and they don't have so many players who can play.

George Karl just figured out how to get the offense going and not let the opponent shoot too many threes.

But no matter how they defended, the Spurs regained momentum with their three-pointers in the second quarter.

The main reason is that the Spurs have too many pitchers, and their main lineup can defend the Nuggets very well. Some lineups have four or even five pitchers who can shoot three-pointers. It is difficult for the Nuggets to focus on the outside defense.

The Spurs were also troubled. They knew that killing Xiang Chu would be the end of the matter, but they couldn't.

"The game was very tense...Xiang Chu grabbed another offensive rebound, and Duncan could only watch Xiang Chu score."

"It's hard to imagine that Xiang Chucai is a second-year player, and he was a player who was not favored in the draft. The only thing the Spurs did better than playing today is to control fouls."

"Open ... Chandler hit, and the Nuggets tied the game at the end."

"Gary Neal, the buzzer ... also hit, the Spurs ended the first half with a 3-point lead."

Withstood, at the end of the first half, the Nuggets players breathed a sigh of relief.

During the rotation time, the Spurs have a tendency to be imposing. At this time, it is acceptable for them to be only 3 points behind.

"In the second half, we were stronger." George Karl encouraged the players.

Judging from the previous games, they are indeed the case, the Nuggets are more stable than the Spurs.

If Xiang Chu had a greater advantage in the interior in the second half, they would be more confident of winning the game.

It is difficult for the outside line to survive alone without the inside line, and the same is true for the Spurs' three-pointers.

In the third quarter, Duncan did not have the strength he had before. Xiang Chu felt that the opponent's muscles did not obey orders after a period of rest after breaking out. After all, Duncan was 36 years old.

However, the Spurs' defensive strength has not declined, and the defense against Xiang Chu is still tight.

Xiang Chu is not in a hurry at all, he just needs to wait for the opportunity to score. If the Spurs can't score inside, they will definitely gain the advantage gradually.

However, the plot did not develop in the direction he imagined.

Danny Green hit 2 consecutive three-pointers, which made the Nuggets extremely vigilant.

After the Spurs had a three-pointer, they hit the iron while the iron was hot and played one big and four small, and the Nuggets quickly followed up.

Duncan didn't go down to rest, he defended Xiang Chu again.

Xiang Chu was also polite, and took advantage of the opportunity to forcefully beat the opponent. This time Duncan only fouled once in the first half, and now the main defense Xiang Chu fouled twice, but he still did not reach the warning line.

Gary Neal is now being taken care of by the Nuggets, but Leonard hit another three-pointer.

After the GDP ability has weakened, the Spurs really combined the team style of play with the star style of play very well.

The same arrangement as last time, but the result is different.

After Duncan had problems on the offensive end, their outside line has risen again, and the Nuggets now don't know where to focus on defense.

It is really difficult to defend against death. The Nuggets are not a defensive team.

What Xiang Chu can do is to limit the opponent's inside scoring. He did it today, but the team's outside defense is really flawed.

After the two teams got close, they gradually pulled apart, and it was the Spurs at home who gradually took control of the situation.

What to do, we can only fight.

"Offense, offense, and rebounds are mine." Xiang Chu encouraged his teammates loudly.
