The strongest basket king

Chapter 256 Strong Team
"It's not unacceptable to encounter failure, which also allows us to discover more problems. This is something that must be solved in the growth of a strong team. George and I have already talked about it. We are all glad that we are still far away from the playoffs." Xiang Chu said calmly to the reporter.

Some fans in the team blamed themselves and thought they didn't play well.

Xiang Chu was a little upset when he was on the court, but he figured it out after returning to the locker room and taking a shower.

He said to everyone: "We did not do enough in these two games, but it is not a problem of one or two people. We are a big family and we should not blame anyone. What we have to do is to work hard to win the game back, and then Tell everyone we're the best."

As the team leader, Xiang Chu wants to comfort his teammates, and then lead them to become stronger.

Of course, he will let Jim Smith communicate with the team again.

In any case, the Nuggets must get a ball-handling point before the deadline of the trading day.

Back in Denver, the Nuggets have another game in December against the second-best Heat in the Eastern Conference.

As the defending champion, the Heat are guaranteed on both offense and defense. This is also a test for the Nuggets.

However, the Heat's defense on the inside is not strong, which can be said to be their only weakness.

The Heat chose a small lineup to start this game. Bosh played the fifth position, so they chose to attack.

This is also a bit helpless, the Heat do not have a qualified center.

The Nuggets are also the starters of the first and fourth juniors. The Heat have Battier at the fourth position, and Faried is useless.

James scored first at the start of the game, and it was difficult for the Nuggets to limit the opponent.

Of course, Xiang Chu will do a good job in defense and help defend James and Wade.

Regarding Bosh, Xiang Chu will not go out easily, and the Nuggets' perimeter defense rotation will also be tested.

Of course, it's not like he won't go out at all, it depends on the timing.

Anyway, it was impossible for Bosh to guard him in the paint, and Xiang Chu started scoring smoothly.

The Heat are very good at restricting the outside line, but on the inside side, even restricting the pass is not so easy.

Restricting the pass also requires the inside to block in front of Xiang Chu. It is relatively difficult for the Heat to do well, and their rebounding is much worse.

In the first quarter, James did not force his way in, and he also hit two goals from beyond the three-point line.

Another thing is about Battier. The Nuggets' defense is still not that good. Sometimes when they defend Bosh, Battier gets a chance and his three-pointers are very accurate.

The Heat have two breakthrough players, James and Wade. If Xiang Chu does not follow, it is not just a matter of speed. Although the Nuggets did not prevent the Heat from scoring, it is indeed much more difficult for the Heat to get in.

Neither side could defend the other, and their performances on the field were evenly matched.

However, when the game entered the rotation, the Nuggets had a slight upper hand.

The Heat defended every shooter of the Nuggets very well. Chandler and Faried helped the Nuggets score. The two can play inside. The Heat's inside line is also a well-known weak link.

It's just the regular season, but the Heat clearly want to win.

They are already a high-profile team, and the Nuggets have also gained more attention this season.

The Nuggets definitely don't want to continue their losing streak when they return home, while the Heat hope to win the Western Conference team to prove that they are still the best team in the league.

Seeing that the team fell behind, James also quickly returned to the court.

The Nuggets' defensive strategy has not changed. As long as James breaks in, Xiang Chu will help defend immediately, but he can get a certain amount of space outside the three-point line.

This is contrary to the current defensive strategy of the Nuggets, but a superstar like James can enjoy different treatment.

James tried a three-point shot again, but he didn't feel so good after a break.

This is also in the Nuggets' calculations, James' outside touch is not stable.

In this case, it was Wade who stood up, and a few long two points helped the Heat stabilize the situation.

For the Nuggets, Xiang Chu was still unstoppable, and Knight also supported the outside line.

Facing the Heat, it is difficult to have a shot if you can't play with the ball, so the Nuggets' outside shooters are limited, but Knight is different. The Nuggets' expectation of him is that he can become the team's outside core.

For him, it may be difficult now, but he is definitely a player above the level, better than the Heat's No. [-] position.

With a huge inside advantage and blocked a three-pointer, the Nuggets took the lead in the first half.

Xiang Chu found that sometimes it would be easier to play against a strong team like the Heat with both offense and defense, because they had no accidents and knew exactly who to pinch at any stage.

The previous losing streak of the Nuggets was actually due to unexpected factors.

However, facing a strong team like the Heat, we must pay special attention in the second half.

They have three All-Star players, as well as a shooter like Ray Allen. If there is a problem, the Heat will definitely adjust. If they take it lightly, they may lose.

You must know that the Nuggets are only leading by single digits when the rebounds are twice that of the opponent. If there is a slight mistake next, the situation will definitely be different.

"We have to run more actively to stretch the space. We must seize the opportunity. A strong team like the Heat is our real competitor. Boys, there are not many opportunities to play against them. We must take advantage of this experience. "

George Karl is also more cautious. The Nuggets' outside line is indeed restricted to death, and the Heat definitely did not play their strongest combat power.

At the beginning of the third quarter, James showed his power, and he played more resolutely.

Bosh is no longer obsessed with three-pointers, and his aggressiveness is obviously stronger than in the first half.

In terms of defense, the Heat have also done better, and Knight is also targeting this point.

But Xiang Chu's opponent still had nothing to do about it, or they chose to let Xiang Chu come, mainly to kill all three points of the Nuggets.

Xiang Chu showed a smile, since he didn't show any more to him, he was going to destroy him severely.

"The Heat lost the rebound again. Bosh tried to block people but failed. Xiang Chu was so cruel. Before the end of the third quarter, he scored 30 points."

"Xiang Chu again, Bosh opened his hands to signal the referee, but the referee said it was a shooting foul."

"Haslem only came up for 2 minutes and was replaced. He suffered too much in front of Xiang Chu. The key is that when he plays, Xiang Chu will not have any scruples on the defensive end."

With James playing efficiently, Xiang Chu relied on one ball after another inside to firmly stabilize the lead.

The change occurred in the final quarter. When Xiang Chu went to rest, Ray Allen and Beasley played threateningly.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets maintained a 6-point lead, and within 3 minutes, the lead was gone.

George Carlton couldn't sit still, and Xiang Chu also decided to play.
