The strongest basket king

Chapter 232
After the Nuggets beat the Hawks, they will fly to Phoenix to play against Dayang and welcome the team's first back-to-back.

The Suns started off well. Compared with last season, their offensive power, especially the outside attack power, has improved significantly.

It can be said that after Nash left and the team changed to a new head coach this season, the Suns are more like the Suns they used to be, and the offensive end is very smooth.

Apart from the arrival of Bledsoe and Gerald Green, they are mainly due to the growth of young players. Needless to say, Dragic, who was trained as the core, the Morris brothers are getting better and better.

The Morris brothers who wanted to compete with Xiang Chu at the beginning are now on the same team. The gap between them and Xiang Chu is already very huge, but it does not mean that they have not grown.

Xiang Chu's growth trajectory is at the superstar level, and they are the examples of the growth of ordinary players in the league.

The fifth position of the Suns is Plumlee, a young insider with good defense.

They hoped that Plumlee could restrict Xiang Chu a little, but it was only during the game that they realized that the two were not at the same level.

After Plumlee's two fouls were completely at a disadvantage, the Suns gave up the inside confrontation.

Their small lineups, whether it's Frye or the Morris Brothers, are pulled outside to play.

In this case, the sun and the eagle in front are the same thing.

The Nuggets had an advantage from the beginning, but the Suns also clung to the score relying on continuous three-pointers.

The Nuggets' defense is trying to change for the better, but sometimes the tacit understanding of the players is not enough, and there will be some problems with the defensive rotation.

The Suns' substitute Morris Brothers played too well, and now the Nuggets' striker is a bit weak.

But in this case, the Nuggets still lead, and this is still the case of their slow outside.

Fournier's starting performance was not bad, but the others didn't feel so good.

Apart from Xia Tian's respective states, it should be mainly a matter of rhythm.

The Nuggets require fast counterattacks, but when they are in position, they must cooperate with Xiang Chu to slowly find opportunities. Being able to be fast or slow is a requirement of top teams. Some veteran players have not been required to this level before.

However, the Nuggets' blockade of the outside team is quite good, which can be regarded as the initial achievement of defensive training.

Many of the opponent's outside shots are opportunities for tall players.

The rhythm of tall players shooting from the outside is different from that of short players. In addition, Xiang Chu will not really defend to the outside, so the opponent has some opportunities.

The tactic of pulling everything outside is actually a double-edged sword.

If the shot is missed, the Suns will basically not have the threat of offensive rebounds, and the defensive end will also suffer.

Now many big men in the league can shoot from the outside, but they have never been as stable as real outside players. The biggest feature of Xiang Chu is stability.

They fought against the Nuggets, and as long as there was fluctuation, they would be held down by the Nuggets.

All-or-nothing situations may appear in a basketball game, but it is impossible to be all-or-nothing for four quarters.

Abandoning inside defense and fighting offense is a bad strategy that cannot be prevented.

In the first half, the Suns barely bit the score by relying on outside attacks. Both sides were dissatisfied with this situation.

"I know you are tired when you come to the away game to play back to back, but it's not summer anymore, you have to show your skills on the court... Boys, I need you to throw the ball in." George Karl said seriously.

"The coach is right. We need to be more confident, because we are the top team in the West." Xiang Chu added full of momentum.

In the third quarter, Frye hit another three-pointer on the Suns side, and George Karl changed the lineup to one big and four small in just over two minutes.

This change turned on the switch of the Nuggets' offense. Fournier, Middleton, Dunleavy, and Belinelli hit three-pointers one after another, and the Nuggets' perimeter blossomed.

Under the threat of the three-point line, the Suns' defense hesitated, and Xiang Chu also got a lot of opportunities in the interior.

In this quarter, the Nuggets played their ideal offense. Xiang Chu scored 20 points in a single quarter, and the Nuggets scored 46 points in a single quarter.

After this quarter, the Nuggets directly left the Suns at 20+.

The Suns were completely confused. Although they also played an efficient offense in the last quarter, it was too late.

"We did it, everyone showed energy, this is what we need to see." George Karl had a smile on his face after the game.

"People who doubt us can take a look. This is the effect we want to achieve. We worked hard to introduce shooters in the summer because they can play shocking offense together with Xiang Chu."

After the game, Xiang Chu also spoke on social media, "I handle the inside, they handle the outside, winning the game is actually that simple."

A bit arrogant, but Xiang Chu has the qualifications.

Amidst the voices of doubt, the Nuggets started off very well. Many people have now realized that they were wrong.

His impact on the team's combat effectiveness can already be compared with James, who is in full swing in the league.

After playing back to back, at home in Denver, Xiang Jianzhong's family met Olivia's family for the first time.

Johnson's family didn't pay much attention to this, Xiang Jianzhong felt it necessary to see it.

They visited the restaurant run by Olivia together. The layout inside was simple and elegant. Both families were quite satisfied, and the money given to the designer was not in vain.

But they didn't eat there, and the seats are already reserved.

The two families didn't know that Xiang Chu's family had a better environment.

As restaurant owners, they asked the three chefs to cook a few more dishes and delivered them to their homes as soon as possible, taking care of the three tastes of the two families, and eating comfortably.

Both Xiang Jianzhong and Barney Johnson are serious people, and the atmosphere when they first met was just normal.

But after talking a lot, the two have a sense of identity with each other. At work, they have many similar views, which can narrow the distance between middle-aged and elderly men.

The two ladies chatted about fashion and beauty that had nothing to do with work, and they got along better from the beginning.

It's just that on the junior side, Alexander wanted to curry favor with Xibel, but he was despised.

"Young people have young minds and they take responsibility for their decisions, I think so," Mr Johnson said.

"Yes." Xiang Jianzhong responded seriously, "However, your daughter is very good, and Beth and I like her very much."

"Of course." The corners of Mr. Johnson's mouth curled up, unable to hide his pride, "I always tell them that they need to improve themselves so that they can control their own lives."

Seeing that the families of both sides get along harmoniously, Xiang Chu and Olivia feel relieved a lot.

Love is a matter for the two of them, but their marriage will be even better with the blessings of the elders, they are so greedy.
