The strongest basket king

Chapter 245 Adversity
The Nuggets were bitten so tightly by the Cavaliers in back-to-back away games. When Xiang Chu went to rest, it was actually an opportunity for the Cavaliers.

But Waiters' continuous strikes did not cause any trouble for the Nuggets.

It was Knight who hit two goals while Irving was not on the court, and Middleton hit another three-pointer.

Seeing that the score gap was about to turn into double digits, the Cavaliers requested a timeout and replaced Irving.

The Nuggets chose to pinch Irving, and Irving chose to go it alone after the two teams failed to make a hit, but the effect was also not good. After the Nuggets changed their defensive strategy in the second half, Irving was affected.

Irving is already at the All-Star level, but he is still close to the level that can change the game.

After Xiang Chu played again, the Cavaliers lost the chance to win the game.

As he grabbed another offensive rebound and scored, the Nuggets' lead finally came to double digits.

After Irving hit the iron twice again, Chandler hit a three-pointer, and the game was concluded.

With nine consecutive victories, the outside world is no longer so surprised by the Nuggets' victory. Many teams envy the Nuggets for having so many players who can play.

At the beginning of the season, the team was injured and injured, and needed running-in. It was because of Xiang Chu's god-level performance that he came to the present, so the outside comments are changing at any time. What players need to do well is to work hard to improve Strength helps the team win.

However, no other team can copy the success of the Nuggets for the time being, because there is no second project.

But the combination of a strong team and a shooter has long been tested by the game, and the Heat are now following this path.

Without a team of this level, it is necessary to improve the quality of shooters. For example, the Warriors, the popular point is the backcourt two-gun mode, which is also a tried-and-tested team-building mode.

The other is the Spurs, relying on the team to give the team's shooters opportunities. Their model has high requirements for coaches, but not so much for players.

As for which way is better, the answer will always be given on the court.

As for which method to choose, it depends on the fate of each team. The management, coaches and players cannot decide, and the twisted melons on the court are not sweet.

The Nuggets' Eastern Conference road trip is definitely not easy. After a back-to-back, a day off is another back-to-back.

This is a back-to-back away game. The players have to fight not only the opponent, but also fatigue.

George Karl is also trying to control the playing time of players now, and he is also worried about injuries.

The better the team is, the more attention should be paid to this aspect. A team with poor performance will not care so much, unless the team has other plans.

The next match the Nuggets will face is the Celtics. After the Celtics sent away Garnett, Pierce, Terry and other veterans, they began to train new players with all their strength. They even changed their coaches.

In this way, their results will not be so good, especially Rondo was injured and unable to play.

The Celtics' starting center is second-year Jared Sullinger, who can play in the low post and pull out to shoot threes.

But he was not tall enough, so when he met Xiang Chu, he had to pull him out to shoot.

The head coach of the Celtics, Brad Stevens, is a coach invited by the university, and his style is also extremely team. Although the Celtics' results are not good, they are playing better than everyone expected.

At the beginning of the game, the Celtics' extremely rigorous cooperation made the Nuggets very uncomfortable. Except for Xiang Chu's overwhelming pressure on Salinger, other positions encountered trouble.

Especially the first and second positions, which directly make people beat up.

It's not just that there are problems with the defensive details, the Celtics also feel good at the start.

No one scored except Xiang Chu, and the score gap suddenly reached double digits.

It's normal for the Eastern Conference to lose an away game, but Xiang Chu doesn't want to give up so early.

"Everyone, move, are you willing to be beaten violently?" Xiang Chu shouted loudly to boost morale.

"Give me the ball and I will lead you to counterattack. The game has just begun."

Under his spur, the team's defense gradually tightened up.

George Karl also quickly adjusted the number of players, but it didn't feel like a few people were replaced first.

"It doesn't matter, defend well, I will take care of this." Xiang Chu said to everyone after a dunk.

He showed 120% of his strength on both ends of the offense and defense, and he hasn't worked so hard for a long time.

Regardless of whether the game wins or loses, he must set an example for others. When the team is in adversity, they must not compromise. If they want to become a team that shines in the playoffs, they must have a strong ability to resist pressure .

When Dunleavy played, the Nuggets finally had a three-pointer from the outside.

Xiang Chu stepped forward and clapped his teammates vigorously. If someone stood up, he would be able to infect more people.

After Dunleavy, Middleton also hit a shot, and the Nuggets' offense finally became normal.

Sullinger quickly fouled three times in order to defend Xiang Chu, and the Celtics' replacement center Victor Favillani could also pull out to shoot a three-pointer.

They are very active on the defensive end and confront fiercely, but they are not facing Xiang Chu on the offensive end.

Obviously, the Celtics have made sufficient preparations for the Nuggets.

In the second quarter, the Celtics' shooting percentage began to decline, and the Nuggets also took the opportunity to narrow the gap to single digits. When the opponent hit consecutive three-pointers in the first quarter, it seemed that the game was about to collapse. Now the Nuggets gradually mastered the rhythm .

The Celtics' cooperation is really good, and it is very smooth for a team that has entered the running-in period, but after a goal was scored from the outside, their defense was abruptly broken by Xiang Chu.

The NBA is a league of superstars, and no matter how good a team is, it can't trap a real beast.

At the last moment of the first half, Bradley hit the buzzer, and the Celtics' lead came to 10 points again.

"Cheer up, boys, are you tired after only a dozen games in the new season? You may have been too leisurely in the summer...but now, you won't even have time to be tired. I need you to play a team. A game that a strong team should have."

"You know, I will only give more opportunities to those who work hard. In this league, you must let more people notice you, so that you can get more salary. This is the experience of an elder .”

"So then you listen carefully, I will tell you what to do in the second half, and then you must do well." George Karl said with a serious expression.

Xiang Chu exchanged glances with George Karl, and he was willing to spend more time this time.

As long as he has the opportunity, he will help the team win the game.

The Celtics are not the kind of ruthless players who are difficult to deal with, they just need to adapt to the rhythm of dealing with them, and then destroy them with a strong matchup advantage.

In the third quarter, Fournier kicked off the offense with a three-pointer on the Nuggets side.

Then Xiang Chu hit 2+1, and Knight also hit, and the young Celtics suddenly panicked.
