The strongest basket king

Chapter 229 No-fly zone

"They suffered injuries, which definitely affected their strength...Of course, they are still difficult opponents, but it is different from last year's playoffs." Parker said in an interview before the game.

"Xiang Chu is a very good player, but we know how to deal with him. The Nuggets' defense can't withstand our impact. We have become stronger this season."

The Spurs narrowly lost in the finals last season, and this season is also ambitious, but their lineup has not changed in the summer, just minor repairs.

Except that GDP is one year older, their lineup is also perfect.

The Nuggets' summer operation has been criticized by the outside world. In fact, half of them have no choice but to leave Iguodala and Gallinari is injured. Now they are either veterans or rookies on the outside. Can Xiang Chu be against the sky?

Maybe, the home fans are still enthusiastic, and Xiang Chu is also in a good mood.

He pulled out a magical skill that he had expected, but still made him very excited.

[No-fly zone: In my domain, I am the supreme ruler.In the three-second zone, the host will have an extremely keen sense of blocking, and there is a high probability of increasing the success rate of blocking. 】

[This skill is an all-star level active skill. The speed and bounce of the host have some influence on the skill and can be upgraded. 】

[Upgrade conditions: Use the skill 90 times in the official competition, the heat value is [-] points, and the vertical bounce reaches [-]cm or more. 】

No one knows that Xiang Chu's strength has improved, but after the Nuggets lost the game, they signed a short contract with free agent Chris Duhon to temporarily relieve the pressure on the No. [-] position.

The Spurs' lineup remained unchanged from last season. At the beginning of the game, they got the opportunity to attack first, and they first used the pick-and-roll of Parker and Duncan.

After the pick-and-roll, Miller Sr. and Faried blocked Parker directly, Parker split the ball, and Duncan caught the ball and started to make a throw.

The timing of the two was good. If Xiang Chu went up to help defend before, he would either be slow or easy to foul, but this time it was completely different.

As if he had seen the opponent's movements in a simulated game, he prepared to judge the timing of Duncan's shot, and then started that shot, which was a bit like an explosion like an inside tyrant, without that kind of exaggeration, and it was easier to control.

As soon as Duncan left the ball, he was slapped hard by Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu's eyes were fierce, and he clenched his fists heavily. The magical skills are the same as in practice, and the magical skills he possesses will affect each other, making his defense more perfect.

When he came back, Xiang Chu made a 2+1, and the crowd cheered thunderously.

For Xiang Chu, the fans are willing to support the Nuggets crazily. Xiang Chu's basketball is really in line with the aesthetics of violence, which makes people excited.

Attacking again, the Spurs shrunk their defense, and Jefferson hit a shot from the outside, directly stopping the Spurs.

Popovich replaced Mills as a double guard, bluntly strengthening the outside attack.

Mills hit a three-pointer when he came up, but the Spurs didn't get a chance to counterattack.

Xiang Chu blocked Duncan and Parker again in the next few minutes. Not to mention Splitter, who was facing him, did not dare to move, and the Spurs did not dare to kill inside.

The Spurs are not a team that relies purely on the perimeter. They are a bit restrained in front of Xiang Chu, and the Nuggets have a very solid lead.

Ginobili didn't believe in evil after playing, and was blocked by Xiang Chu twice in a row.

Xiang Chu is not famous for blocking shots. Now that he blocks 5 shots in a single quarter, Popovich is scolding his mother on the sidelines.

In fact, the Nuggets' outside performance is still not good, but relying on Xiang Chu's performance, they have always suppressed the Spurs.

"It's unbelievable. Xiang Chu is a fighter today, and he is countering the voices criticizing him for not defending well."

"The Spurs can't get inside at all now, they're in big trouble."

With Xiang Chu's help defense all over the three-second zone, the Nuggets' outside line can be safely defended, and the Spurs' offensive end suddenly became struggling.

When Xiang Chu went down, they planned to fight back, but the Nuggets players had already lost their confidence by Xiang Chu.

Although not everyone performed well, it was enough for a team with Xiang Chu.

In the second quarter, Jefferson and Dunleavy hit another three-pointer, and Miller Sr. also hit a three-pointer. The Nuggets' lead was further expanded.

They once led to double digits, and the Spurs narrowed the gap between the two sides to single digits only after Bonner hit a three-pointer at the end of the first half.

Xiang Chu's performance made George Karl a little excited, "I knew you could do it, it's great."

"Guys, what is this place? This is Denver. No one can play wild here. It's said that our strength has declined. Shit. We need to let everyone know that we are stronger."

With Xiang Chu's dominance at both ends of the offense and defense today, it is much easier for the head coach to arrange tactics.

On the Spurs side, Popovich was lecturing, and he was very dissatisfied with the team's performance today.

In fact, he didn't consider that Xiang Chu's ability to assist defense had improved so much.

If Xiang Chu can suppress both offensive and defensive ends, the Spurs' ball will be difficult to play.

But Popovich has seen a strong inside line, that is, Duncan is old.

"We need to move the ball quickly. They are a team that is still running in. The coordination is simple and rusty. As long as we can play out what we have in training, we can easily find opportunities."

Popovich took the tactical board, drew a few strokes, grasped the key points, and sorted out the situation in the first half. No matter how strong Xiang Chu is, the Nuggets in front of him are also full of flaws.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Spurs showed their heritage as a traditional strong team in the West.

Well, in fact, several major Spurs players in GDP have too deep understanding of Popovich's tactics, and they can change as they say.

They no longer deliberately troubled Xiang Chu, nor did they deliberately hide from him.

Covering, running, and passing, the Spurs played out their tactics, and the Nuggets' defensive system suddenly couldn't keep up.

But it's easier said than done. Even if the Spurs play better, it's hard for them to solve Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu's strength has increased compared to last season. Even if the team does not have a good passer, he can still get the ball most of the time with his strong confrontation ability.

The Spurs chased a little bit, but at the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets still had a 6-point lead.

By this time, both sides were a little nervous.

The Spurs can't play better, except for the three-pointer, but now the Nuggets' targeted defense is a bit impossible. It only depends on whether they can seize the opportunity during the rotation.

As for the Nuggets, if Xiang Chu can't win the game after reaching this level, it means that their summer operation really failed.

When Xiang Chu went to rest, the Spurs' small lineup showed their strength, and Mills scored 5 points in a row. In less than 2 minutes, the Nuggets' lead was only 2 points left, and the alarm sounded.
