The strongest basket king

Chapter 230 Team Status
Without Xiang Chu on the court, the Nuggets can't beat the Spurs at all.

With Chandler out, the Nuggets lack a rotation player who can stand when Xiang Chu is off the court.

Now they have a lot of players on the bench who can play, but most of them can't create their own scoring ability.

This is the problem of the running-in period. How to play and which players will play during the rotation period are still uncertain.

Of course, injuries have a great impact. Knight, Chandler, Gallinari, the Nuggets can be said to be absent at two, three or four points now, and it is not bad to be able to compete with the Spurs like this.

But just being able to withstand the Spurs for more than three quarters is not what Xiang Chu pursues, he just wants to win.

George Karl couldn't sit still, he looked at Xiang Chu, who nodded slightly.

Originally, Xiang Chu didn't plan to fight too hard at the beginning of the season, who caused the team to have more accidental injuries.

The outside world doesn't care about your actual difficulties. Losing the game and all kinds of accusations will make the players lose heart.

As a team that wants to make a difference in the playoffs, as the core of an ambitious team, Xiang Chu does not allow this to happen.

"The Nuggets replaced Xiang Chu in advance, and the Spurs also quickly replaced Splitter."

"Today, the Spurs' defensive scale was well grasped. Both Splitter and Duncan had only two fouls."

"Oh, sorry, it's the third foul for Splitter."

When Xiang Chu came on the field, he gave Split a big blow. He almost squeezed in with people on his back and caused damage.

Originally, the Spurs were about to start, and the Nuggets fans panicked, but as soon as Xiang Chu went up, they felt that they had a backbone and that the team had stabilized.

At this time, the team was playing a junior and a junior. Among the substitute players, Middleton and Dunleavy, who were in relatively good condition, were on the court, and Jefferson played at the fourth position.

The Spurs didn't pinch Xiang Chuqiang to play, they pinched the outside line and shot decisively, Xiang Chu tried his best to grab the rebound.

The Spurs Diaw hit another three-pointer, and their offensive is still fierce.

But there is something to be said, the Nuggets did not collapse, Middleton hit two points from the outside, Jefferson came in from the bottom line and caused damage, the old Miller hit two points, and the score was tightly biting.

The Spurs had no choice but to change, and Duncan replaced Splitter to defend Xiang Chu.

However, they did not expect that Xiang Chu caused Duncan's fouls three times in a row, and Duncan made five fouls.

The Nuggets' lead came to 5 points, and the game time was only the last 4 minutes.

When the Spurs needed someone to score, Ginobili made a difficult two-pointer, and Parker also hit the iconic mid-range shot.

But when they saw hope, Xiang Chu got another offensive rebound and scored the ball.

Their final defense is really good, but Xiang Chu can grab offensive rebounds, what should they do.

In the last 3 minutes, both sides made several mistakes.

And it's all passing. The Nuggets are purely because the players are not familiar enough, while the Spurs are largely because Xiang Chu blocked the three-second zone.

At 2 minutes and 23 seconds, Leonard hit, and the Nuggets only led by 2 points again.

At 1 minute and 40 seconds, Xiang Chu attracted the defense, Jefferson went inside, and Duncan committed 6 fouls.

A bit of a surprise, but the Spurs are taking that risk by keeping five fouled players on the court.

As soon as Duncan went, the Spurs were a little vain. After Leonard missed from outside the three-point line, Ginobili hit the inside and was blocked by Xiang Chu, and the score gap became 6 points again.

The Spurs gave up resistance after missing a three-pointer again, and the Nuggets won.

After killing the team that entered the finals last season, who would dare to say that their combat effectiveness is not good enough.

Xiang Chu is not only arrogant on social media, but also on the court.

He said in an interview with reporters after the game: "Some people always like to criticize us with imaginary things. They don't even know how hard I practiced in the summer."

"If you discover my new ability in a certain game, please don't be surprised, because I have been improving, and I also believe that our team will be one of the best teams in the league after we get used to it."

Xiang Chu's performance can be said to be black and black. No matter how well the Spurs are arranged, they are also destroyed by him. Popovich misses the young Duncan very much at this time.

However, people who don't like the Nuggets still don't buy it. They don't think that Xiang Chu's heroic performance can continue forever.

If the Nuggets rely too much on Xiang Chu, they won't be able to go too far.

But the comments from the outside world belong to the outside world, and the atmosphere inside the Nuggets is getting better and better.

Xiang Chu gave everyone a sense of security, whether it was teammates or the coaching staff.

With strong players, others can play more easily. This season's signings are all in line with Xiang Chu's style of play, and their running-in should be faster than last season.

Defensively, they expect to build a good team defense.

Xiang Chu's performance in assisting defense has been greatly improved, which is much less troublesome for the defensive coach.

Their current strategy is to block the outside line and force the opponent in, and then Xiang Chu can effectively interfere inside.

Mozgov's help defense is mediocre, but he also has height and can influence the opponent. It has nothing to do with Faried's more fouls. With Xiang Chu, that's what they do.

The team should train well, it is the defensive rotation on the perimeter, not limited to pick-and-roll defense.

The development of basketball tactics has become more and more complicated, and young people are also very receptive. Some simple tactics can be combined in ever-changing ways. A good team defense must be able to maintain the correct choice in the face of any tactics.

The existence of Xiang Chu can make things a lot easier. This is the role of super players.

Of course, the team's small lineup cannot be abolished. More and more teams in the league are starting to use small lineups. They must match up, and sometimes they need some surprises.

"Relax, your performance has given the management confidence, the team is still trying to make a deal... We must at least find a good point to hold the ball, and it is best to better organize the offense when you are resting, the playoffs Before that, we had to keep everyone healthy." George Karl said as he walked up to Xiang Chu during the training break.

"A more reliable third point guard, I know exactly what kind of configuration the team should have."

"Maybe it should be the second point guard. Andre is very good, but his age cannot support him to enter high-intensity games continuously." Xiang Chu sighed.

"Maybe we should look again, Andre's body has been maintained well." George Karl said.

George Karl still has some feelings for his disciples who have cooperated for a long time.

Xiang Chu also talked about the old Miller's problem casually. The team needs this kind of veteran.

Now the team's biggest problem is the ball-holding point, and the other is passing. The problem of passing the ball is much more difficult to solve. Xiang Chu hopes that the management can quickly find a qualified ball-holding point.

Of course, it's possible that Gallinari would be better off coming back.
