The strongest basket king

Chapter 262 Scoring Ability
Xiang Chu returned to San Francisco again and met Xiang Jianzhong and his wife.

Alexander went to a university in a foreign country, and now he is having a hot fight with a chick, so he has no time to watch Xiang Chu play.

Xiang Chu came to play an away game and met his family by the way. The Warriors' performance has improved a lot during this time.

In any case, the Warriors have strengthened their strength in the summer. They may still be far from the top teams in the West, but they will certainly not have a problem occupying a playoff spot.

The Warriors can be said to be one of the strongest perimeter teams in the league. Playing against them is also a good opportunity to test the Nuggets' perimeter defense.

It is very important to win the regular season, but for a strong team like the Nuggets, it is also very important to meet a good practice opponent. This has the same effect as playing a warm-up game before a football match.

It is easy to win the fish belly, but it does not help much to improve the team's strength.

But in fact, for the Nuggets, the most difficult point for the Warriors to deal with is David Lee.

It's not that David Lee is strong enough, it's because of pure positional restraint.

In addition to the Nuggets' current defense, it is more difficult to limit the second and fourth positions with strong singles ability.

The Warriors are strong outside, but their starting lineup is quite satisfactory, with Bogut as a meat shield.

The Nuggets directly used one big and four small ones. Faried was beaten by David Lee every time, so it didn't make sense for him to start.

Klay Thompson hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the game, and then Chandler for the Nuggets also hit a three-pointer, and the two sides launched a soaring point battle.

The Warriors' two outside shooters are very good at running, and their ability to create scoring opportunities is obviously much better than the Nuggets' shooters.

Coupled with the strength of David Lee, the Warriors are indeed very strong on the offensive end.

Compared with the Warriors' various screens and off-ball running, the Nuggets are much simpler on the offensive end.

But their simplicity is due to Xiang Chu's strength. As long as Xiang Chu has the ball in his hands, he can force one-on-one. He can give outside players a lot of shooting space.

Their offensive power has improved a lot during this period, and one very important reason is that Knight has completely recovered from the previous injuries, and the outside line has become more and more accurate.

Knight can play with the ball, and may not be as good as Curry on the opposite side, but it is enough for the Nuggets.

In the first quarter of the game, the Nuggets started four outside shots. Knight, Fournier and Chandler all scored three-pointers. The Warriors scored 30+, but the Nuggets took the lead.

Bogut has entered the defensive line and won the block leader. His annual salary of tens of millions is due to defense, but it is too difficult for him to restrict Xiang Chu.

Bogut was helpless because his height and weight were crushed.

That is to say, he can't figure it out, so there will be a situation where the Warriors get high scores from the outside and they are still behind.

On the bench lineup, neither side played very well.

Neither Belinelli nor Dunleavy found a chance, but Jefferson hit a three-pointer.

If Jefferson adjusts his state, it will be helpful to the Nuggets.

After all, Chandler is just an end point, and Jefferson can still pass the ball to Xiang Chu. Overall, Jefferson is suitable for starting, but if his offensive help is too small, he can only play less.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets remained efficient, and the Warriors' defense was just average.

The Warriors' offensive efficiency has dropped a bit, mainly because Xiang Chu found an opportunity to risk David and Lee.

David Lee was so happy to bully the Nuggets' No. [-] position. He didn't expect Xiang Chu's defense to be so strong. He obviously had a chance to make a shot, but Xiang Chu suddenly came from the side and sent a block.

The Nuggets once led to double digits. Before the end of the first half, the Warriors' substitute Draymond Green sent a three-pointer to help the team stay in the single digits.

The Nuggets have nothing to criticize on the offensive end in these few games, but the defensive end can get better.

During the halftime break, George Karl also shared some details summarized by the coaching staff.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets improved their off-ball defense, and Klay Thompson did not score as easily as in the first half.

However, it is not so easy to limit Curry. Curry's skills are more comprehensive, and his breakthrough and passing with the ball are above the standard, but his shooting conceals more of his advantages.

The Warriors have also improved the details on the defensive end. Both sides have done a good job, but the Nuggets have the existence of this inside giant.

To be honest, Bogut defended well, but Xiang Chu's ability was too strong.

Seeing that the gap in the game reached double digits again, the Warriors didn't care, and once again changed to a smaller lineup, letting David Lee or Draymond Green play the fifth position.

It doesn't matter if you can't stand it, Xiang Chu takes the ball and pinches.

The Nuggets' three-pointers are so good, why many teams still choose to flank Xiang Chu, there is no way.

You can also bet on the outside line that the role players will not enter or flank Xiang Chu, that is really the end of the game.

The Warriors performed well on the offensive end after the change of formation. Barnes, who came off the bench, hit 2 three-pointers, but the score gap was still fixed at 10 points.

At the end of the quarter, the Warriors increased their three-point shots. It would be meaningless for them to take risks with a small lineup without shooting three-pointers.

But the Nuggets' defensive tactics have not changed, just try not to give three-pointers, so the Warriors are not so efficient outside the three-point line.

On the contrary, David Lee played very well in the interior. He singled Mozgov in a row. Mozgov, who performed well in the front, committed six fouls within a few minutes of the last quarter.

However, when he saw Xiang Chu replaced, David Lee suddenly felt that he had done something wrong, why should he beat down a guy who could be dealt with.

As soon as Xiang Chu came up, the Warriors' defense was completely messed up.

Curry made consecutive three-pointers, but only hit two. The score between the two sides has been hovering around 2 points. As time passed, the Warriors felt that their chances were getting smaller and smaller.

In the last few minutes, the Warriors really wanted to win. They even came up with Draymond Green on defense and David Lee on offense.

As far as singles are concerned, David Lee is still the most efficient when playing players other than Xiang Chu.

But no matter how good they did in this area, it was useless. After Xiang Chu made a single hit and then grabbed an offensive rebound and dunk to help the team maintain the score advantage, the Warriors finally despaired.

In the end, the Warriors missed three-pointers several times in a row, and the result of the game was finalized.

The opponent tried their best, but failed to send the Nuggets losing streak.

This is the gap between a strong team and an ordinary strong team. Without accidents, there is an insurmountable obstacle between the two sides just relying on tactics and performance.

The Nuggets scored 124 points in this game. This is the fourth game with more than 120 points in this period.

The outside world was surprised at first, but then they got used to it. The Nuggets are still number one in the West, and Xiang Chu is so fierce. It seems that no matter how well they play, it is not big news.
