The strongest basket king

Chapter 266 The best team
Aldridge set a personal scoring record, but the team still lost.

Seeing the opponent's fatigue and unwillingness, Xiang Chu was very grateful for the team's change this season. He also experienced this kind of helplessness. After all, basketball is not a game for one person.

"He is a very good player." Xiang Chu said in an interview after the game, "The Blazers are also a respectable opponent, but I'm sorry, we are stronger."

Trail Blazers coach Stotts can only sigh that the opponents they encountered are really strong.

After returning to Denver, there will be no rest time this time, and the challenge of the first Pacers in the East will be ushered in in two days.

The Pacers' lineup did not change in the summer. They were able to overwhelm the Heat and occupy the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference. A very important reason is the growth of the new core Paul George.

They are already a strong defensive team, and a strong defensive team is just like a strong offensive team. They are all stable abusers.

Defensive young masters and an All-Star who can support the team at critical moments can go a step further and become a strong team in the league. Otherwise, it will be difficult to become a strong team only by defense or offense.

They are still thinking about strengthening the lineup. After the Cavaliers sent Bynum back and was cut by the Bulls, they picked it up, hoping it could be a surprise.

But this is what they thought too much. Bynum played two games and said goodbye, and the $100 million was gone.

Seeing Bynum's situation, Xiang Chu was also a little bit sad.

Although this guy was a bit of a nonsense, at the time he felt that he was called a fake star at most. Now it seems that he may disappear from the league.

Therefore, if you want to eat the rice of the league and get a high salary, hard work and self-discipline are also necessary.

Facing the Nuggets, the Pacers are not afraid. They have Hibbert and David West inside. They believe they can cause trouble for Xiang Chu, and they also have a good defense against three points. They hope to win the away game victory.

The Pacers are indeed not weak, and their [-]nd, [-]rd, and [-]th positions may cause trouble for the Nuggets, but to limit Xiang Chu, Xiang Chu said that they are thinking too much.

Hibbert is a defensive insider and has enough height, but Xiang Chu is not the rookie who only knows how to play under the basket.

At the beginning of the game, Xiang Chu caused Hibbert's foul.

Pacers coach Vogel also felt a sudden, the situation does not seem to be as easy to deal with as he imagined.

The Pacers strengthened their defense, and their offensive end was also suppressed. For defensive teams that don't stand out from three-pointers, the Nuggets are handy in dealing with them.

They missed a few shots in the first few attacks, but the Nuggets also hit the outside line, and Middleton made a decisive shot.

To be honest, the Pacers' defense is still good, and Xiang Chu is also subject to certain restrictions.

It's nothing else, it's not easy for teammates to give him the ball, and it's not so easy for him to return the ball to the outside line.

As for Hibbert, Xiang Chu, who was slow in offense and defense, didn't care at all, but David West's defense was a little troublesome.

It's just that the Pacers' own offense is relatively poor, resulting in a slight drop in the Nuggets' scoring efficiency, but they still firmly hold the advantage.

The Pacers had no other way. Paul George played first, and David West also tried. After the effect was not good, Stephenson was played again.

The personal defense of the Nuggets' second position is worse, but Stephenson is the most effective.

When it comes to the rotation period, the Nuggets have an advantage again. Chandler is in a very good state, and Mozgov is also playing very well.

Against the Pacers backup center Mahinmi, Mozgov played very tough.

This is also the reason why Xiang Chu has already caused damage to the Pacers' inside line, and Mozgov can also get a bonus when he comes off the bench.

At the end of the first half, the Nuggets had a double-digit lead over the Pacers.

It can be said that the Pacers' opening strategy failed. They only slightly reduced the offensive efficiency of the Nuggets, but they paid for their sluggish offensive end.

During the intermission, Vogel made adjustments. He has led the Pacers well in the past few years and is also a high-level coach.

In the third quarter, the Pacers used Stephenson as a breakthrough point, not only allowing him to score, but also allowing him to organize. This had a miraculous effect, and the Pacers played a sharp attack.

This is on the one hand, and on the other hand is the recovery of David West's touch.

The Nuggets are afraid of a strong fourth position. David West is not tall enough, but his skills are still very solid. There are other reasons why the Nuggets can hold him down in the first half.

With the outbreak of these two points, coupled with Paul George's stable output, the Pacers once caught up with the score, but the Nuggets opened the score again during the rotation period.

Chandler came up feeling hot and completely crushed the opponent's bench lineup.

The Pacers were originally high-spirited, but the flameout during the rotation took their pressure down.

At the end of the quarter, the Pacers' offensive efficiency dropped again.

Moreover, within 2 minutes of Xiang Chu returning to the court, he beat Hibbert down.

After Hibbert made six fouls, Mahinmi also made six fouls soon, and the Pacers were forced to become a small lineup.

Without a center, the Pacers simply don't apply.

They are getting worse and worse, and the last few minutes have become garbage time.

The confrontation between the East and the West is not as intense as everyone imagined. Xiang Chu's dominance in the interior has exceeded the imagination of many teams.

They didn't know until the battle, that their defensive tactics were taken for granted.

Despite the loss, Pacers coach Vogel still praised the players' performance, "We won an ups and downs game through overtime last night. I am proud of the players' performance in back-to-back games. We must maintain this High level of rivalry."

The head coach can pour chicken soup, and Vogel is also a talent. He loses back to back without leaving any traces. It is worth learning from many head coaches in the league.

Chandler, who performed well in this game, was also interviewed. He said: "We have maintained a strong offensive throughout the game, and we have always maintained a good rotation. The Pacers are the strongest team in the Eastern Conference today, but we Winning with unity and execution. We can take on any team as long as we play at a real level."

Unknowingly, the Nuggets have won five consecutive victories.

But they don't have much obsession with the winning streak now, they are now No. [-] in the Western Conference, as long as they can continue to secure the throne, it doesn't matter how many games the winning streak has.

Next, they will also play back to back and go to the away game, but everyone is full of fighting spirit.

After all, they have already done all the best teams in the East and West, and the information of the Nuggets players has become more and more firm.

Chandler is being modest when he says they can take on any team, and privately, they're considered the best team this season.
