The strongest basket king

Chapter 218 I just want to lie down
The Nuggets are about to enter the tiebreaker with the Spurs, but the game between the Knicks and the Pacers stopped in Game [-].

Anthony scored 39 points and still lost to the full-strength Pacers. The Pacers not only returned to George Hill, but their No. [-] Lance Stephenson also played the best game in the series.

In fact, the Knicks were carried by Anthony in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Anthony's physical strength declined and he couldn't bear it anymore. The Knicks were suddenly killed in the last 4 minutes.

The so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands is the same thing, and the same is true of Durant in front.

Without a suitable helper, it is too difficult to go further in a highly targeted game like the playoffs.

The results of the three groups in the Eastern and Western semifinals have already appeared, and now all eyes are on the Nuggets and Spurs.

This time, Olivia did not sit in the reserved seat in the front area, but held a sign with a group of Xiang Chu fans and cheered.

"Honey, you are absolutely the best." Olivia's eyes were extremely firm.

"Be careful not to get hurt, I'm proud of you." Xiang Jianzhong wanted to say a lot, but when he came to Xiang Chu, he just stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said simply.

Xiang Chu entered the Pepsi Center with everyone, and the cheers of the fans were still hot.

When he got to the court, he just played, and he said to the others: "Come on, just like every home game we have done before, let's play the best basketball. I like basketball."

This time the Nuggets and Spurs chose to change their formations at the same time, and they all started with one big and four small ones.

In the seventh game, there is no need to hide anything, whether it is a slanted sword or a desperate move, both sides must win, and they don't want the leeway and buffer in front of them.

Xiang Chu won the jump ball and then took the lead with a mid-range shot.

The Spurs' lineup of one big and four small will often play outside, but this time they did the opposite, and Duncan stormed up.

This seems to be similar to the initial contest between the two teams, but it seems to be different.

Duncan was extremely efficient in this game, no matter how he played.

George Karl asked Xiang Chu on the sidelines if he wanted to replace Duncan first, but Xiang Chu refused.

He is not very good defensively, but he is indeed the best in defending Duncan in the entire team, mainly in terms of consumption. Others cannot give Duncan as much confrontation.

Don't look at Duncan returning to the top as soon as he comes up, but Xiang Chu is sure that if Duncan keeps playing like this for the second half, he won't need to go up, and he won't be able to keep up.

And on the defensive end, Duncan can't guard him alone.

In the final decisive battle, the game started with the mutual explosion of the new powerful insider and the old powerful insider. The neutral audience enjoyed watching it very much, but the fans of the two teams were very worried.

Duncan's physical strength is far from what it used to be, but Xiang Chu's physical strength may also have problems because of the fighting ahead.

The other players on the two teams, Parker and Ginobili on the Spurs side, did not have explosive performances, but Leonard played very well, and it was difficult to limit the Nuggets with Duncan inside and outside.

For the Nuggets, none of the players stood out, but they did not lose the chain. They all seized some opportunities from the outside, and the two sides struggled to the extreme from the first quarter.

Xiang Chu didn't plan to take a break, so how could he think so much about the playoffs.

However, Duncan still needs a rest. Duncan rested for 4 minutes in the first half.

But throughout the first half, Duncan almost showed his peak skills.

He scored 26 points in the first half, the highest in the game. Xiang Chu only scored 19 points under the better defense of the Spurs. Duncan really worked hard.

But in terms of score, the Spurs will lead by 1 point if Duncan spells it that way.

Xiang Chu could already feel that if Duncan's body cooled down during the halftime break, it would be impossible for him to explode again in the second half.

They wanted to seize the opportunity, but his physical fatigue also came up.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the home court, he still has not fully recovered from his fatigue. He must grit his teeth and persevere, so as not to let his opponents notice or worry his teammates.

His hunch was correct. By the third quarter, Duncan was a lot sluggish, and his only shots were outside shots.

But Parker stood up. Parker was so good that Ginobili didn't perform at all in the first half, but in the third quarter, Parker continued to break through and cause damage. Ginobili hit a three-pointer as soon as he took a shot.

If the Spurs' GDP can break out to peak strength in the four quarters, then the loss will be admitted.

But they can't let the opponent explode at will. Xiang Chu's efficiency is also a little bit lower, but he can still score in the paint. He controlled the foul when defending Duncan. Now the Spurs are constantly attacking the basket. .

In order to defend Parker and Ginobili, several people outside the team also received fouls, but for the time being, no one will be in trouble because of fouls. What they need is persistence.

Ty Lawson and Iguodala on the Nuggets side are also trying to create damage. Even Iguodala's free throws were a lot more accurate this time, and both sides showed all their abilities.

At the end of the third quarter, Gary Neal hit a three-pointer, and the Nuggets finally tied the score by 3 points.

Xiang Chu was a little worried at this time. At the beginning of the last quarter, when he felt the most tired, the most terrifying attack method of the Spurs appeared.

The Spurs only rotated 7 people this time, and kept 4 main players most of the time. Xiang Chu's advantage of staying on the court is actually not that great.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Parker, Leonard and Danny Green all hit three-pointers.

The score gap widened all of a sudden, and Xiang Chu felt that his legs were full of lead, his chest was burning, and his physical strength was completely unable to keep up.

He was flanked by Duncan, who couldn't participate in the offense at all, but was still trying to defend him.

The Spurs are really similar to their strategy against them at the beginning, only this time they worked harder, and at the critical moment, when Duncan couldn't score, their three-pointer appeared, and other players stood up.

After the Spurs made a wave of three-pointers, the Nuggets actually panicked. Xiang Chu's efficiency dropped again at this time, and the outside line didn't know whether to try a three-pointer or break through to cause damage.

In the last few minutes, they had no choice but to try for three points.

The Spurs will certainly not watch them try, the miracle did not happen, the Nuggets' three-pointers are not good.

With Xiang Chu's two free throws at the last moment, the game ended, and the Spurs won the tiebreaker 98:92 and entered the Western Conference Finals.

The Spurs were victors, they cheered and they jumped for joy.

Popovich was proud of the spring breeze. He expressed respect to the Nuggets in the face of reporters, "They know that such opportunities do not always exist, so they are full of desire."

Xiang Chu didn't accept the interview and went straight to the locker room.

He wasn't overly sad or had any other emotions, he just felt tired, really tired, and he wanted to lie down right away.
