The strongest basket king

Chapter 217 Another tiebreaker

In the sixth game between the Nuggets and the Spurs, the starting players of both sides were still the same players.

The two sides started in a familiar rhythm, but Splitter was replaced after his first foul.

Just over a minute into the game at this time, the Spurs almost changed the starting lineup directly.

Xiang Chu knew that this was the Spurs' home court, and he hadn't fully recovered from his fatigue, so he had to attack desperately. Only when the advantage was established at the beginning would they have a chance.

The change of the Spurs does not affect his offense at all. He just wants the Spurs to choose to attack. If two insiders keep attacking him, he must put his hope on the Nuggets' outsiders.

But in fact, the main players of the Nuggets have spent a relatively long time in the previous games, and it is too difficult to break out.

The Nuggets did lead for a while, but the situation still happened.

That is Manu Ginobili, the previous Parker broke out, this Manu Ginobili broke out.

Ginobili made a kill when he came up, then hit a three-pointer, and sent consecutive second passes.

Parker broke out to be a mid-range shot, but Ginobili's methods were unpredictable, and the entire Spurs were revitalized by him.

Xiang Chu tried his best, and the Spurs gradually took the lead.

He doesn't plan to rest this time, and he made an agreement with George Karl before the game.

They are in the lead by a large score, but their overall strength is actually weaker. They can only fight every game.

Xiang Chu played with a substitute lineup, and the Nuggets caught up with the score again.

However, Danny Green's three-pointer opened again, which is really hard to guard against.

In the first quarter, the Nuggets defended well against three-pointers. Only Ginobili and Leonard made hits, but when it came to the bench lineup, the defense was actually even worse.

Accidentally, Danny Green exploded. The key is that he made several shots in the first quarter with iron. It was unexpected that there are too many players who can shoot three-pointers for the Spurs. It is difficult to guard against him who doesn't want the ball.

If he keeps staring at him, he can never participate in the offense. The Spurs let him start mainly because of defense, but if he doesn't watch him for a while, he raises his hand and it's a three-pointer.

But Xiang Chu had some problems breathing at this time, and the fatigue really came too fast.

Before the game, he thought he could support at least three quarters, but he didn't expect some problems in the second quarter.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Spurs hadn't noticed, Xiang Chu attacked with a bit of self-hypnosis.

Duncan on the Spurs is also a little imaginary, and it is not yet possible to judge his state.

An old player like Duncan is getting better and better at defending the scale. Xiang Chu has no chance to make him kill him. When Split came up for a while, he was called for two fouls.

At the end of the second quarter, Manu Ginobili cheated a foul from outside the three-point line and made three free throws. Then Parker hit the buzzer and they led by 5 points.

When Xiang Chu returned to the locker room, he endured the discomfort and ate something to replenish his strength. He fought to the extreme in the first half and was still behind in the score. If he remained like this in the second half, the game would be difficult.

"If they are more aggressive and fight harder, they will not be able to hold on." Xiang Chu added after the head coach finished speaking.

Now it can only be a struggle. The Spurs players are older than them, or the opponent is really approaching the limit.

They lead by a big score, and the Nuggets' players are high-spirited, but the physical fatigue is also real.

The Nuggets had a rotation of 9 to 10 players in the previous round, and now they have a 7-man rotation. In fact, there are only 5 players left. Farid and Miller are playing less and less time. Mozgov Basically gone.

In addition to Xiang Chu, Iguodala and Ty Lawson all played more than 40 minutes. Chandler and Brewer also played a lot. The rest of the players are really bad for the Spurs. make.

It would be great if Gallinari hadn't been reimbursed, then they would really be worthwhile in the playoffs.

In the third quarter, the Spurs directly started the first and fourth juniors.

After one round, the Nuggets also changed their lineup. Faried couldn't beat Leonard at all. Before the playoffs, they didn't expect Leonard to be so strong.

After a half-time break, Xiang Chu also slowed down a bit. He attacked vigorously when he came up, and he was also worried that he would be unable to fight soon, so he wanted to take advantage of the opponent's lack of reaction.

The Nuggets caught up with the score twice, but both times the Spurs took the lead with a three-pointer.

For the Nuggets, this is a double oppression both physically and mentally.

In the middle of the third quarter, there was another situation, and Chandler fouled four times.

George Karl thought about it and didn't make a substitution for the time being. This is the time to fight, and he hopes that Chandler can still stand up.

Unexpectedly, he was blown for the fifth foul soon, and George Karl had no choice but to replace the old Miller as a double guard.

But the old Miller was run over by Parker and Ginobili in turn. The Spurs took the opportunity to gain a 7-point lead, and the Nuggets were suspended.

After the timeout, George Karl still played Faried. The old Miller had enough experience on the back line, but he really couldn't keep up with the two Spurs guards, and his height could only guard the guards.

It didn't get worse when Faried came on, but it didn't change either.

The Spurs entered the final quarter with a 7-point lead. Leonard hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and then went to the basket to create a foul by Xiang Chu.

Foul fatigue was in full swing, and the Spurs' lead had stretched to double digits after he missed two turnaround jumpers in the low post.

George Karl saw the problem too, but he wanted to gamble.

He put on a senior and a junior again. Chandler came up and made six fouls after 2 minutes. George Karl let Fournier, who hadn't played much in these games, play again, hoping for a miracle.

But it didn't. In the second half of the final quarter, Parker made consecutive mid-range shots, and the Nuggets' spirit was also blown away.

With more than a minute left, George Karl replaced Xiang Chu, the Nuggets conceded, and their game entered the tiebreaker.

After the game, Popovich was full of praise for Ginobili's explosion. He said: "The god of basketball is now on our side."

George Karl said that the players are a bit too tired. He said: "I don't want to discuss this game now. The most important thing now is the next game. We are looking forward to the game back at home. We will win when we return to Denver. victory."

Xiang Chu also answered the reporter's question. He actually scored 27 points and 13 rebounds in this game, and he is still the most powerful player on the basketball court.

"At this moment, it's an opportunity for both teams. You always want to win another game, or you're out. Or, we're only one game away, whether it's a tie-break or a tiebreaker. What, we are all ready," Xiang Chu said.

The tie-break sounds a bit scary, but there is nothing to think about. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it's a game, and what Xiang Chu has to do is to go all out on the field.
