The strongest basket king

Chapter 269 Debut
The Nuggets defended Lowry and DeRozan very tightly, but did not expect that the Raptors would have another player to stand up.

Terrence Ross made consecutive hits and scored in double figures in a single quarter, helping the Raptors temporarily take the lead.

It was temporary because the Nuggets fought back quickly.

Chandler was not in good shape this time, but Knight and Fournier played well. After the Raptors chose to pinch Xiang Chu, the Nuggets showed their shooting ability from the outside.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Louis Williams came on the field, and the home fans cheered him enthusiastically.

This buddy needs to get used to the Nuggets' tactical system, but he is a very daring type.

In his debut, he didn't feel depressed after receiving the ball, and started playing singles directly.

Insufficient defensive ability, good singles ability, passing ability but no big picture, he is very familiar with this type of guard Xiang Chu, because he has been cheated by them in the past two years, including this buddy's game.

Both advantages and disadvantages are very good. The Nuggets gave him 10 minutes of performance time in the first half.

The shooting percentage was a bit poor, but he hit a three-pointer and caused a kill, and he made a breakthrough and passed the ball once.

The Nuggets chose Lou Williams, naturally not to let him do something he is not good at, as long as he can score with the ball.

If he can quickly integrate into the team, George Karl hopes that he can lead the bench.

Chandler also gave this right before, but Chandler doesn't belong to that type, and Faried's style is also difficult to bring in. Louis Williams has this ability, it depends on whether he can match the Nuggets tactics.

In fact, it is only half of the rotation time, because Xiang Chu will also play with the shooter on the bench for a period of time.

Back on the court, in fact, the Nuggets lost the score when Louis Williams was on the court, but he can't be blamed for it. The Raptors' bench played really well.

John Salmons, Tyler Hansbrough and Patrick Patterson all played very well, but there was an accident in it, they felt too good.

After Xiang Chu waited for the starting lineup, the situation on the field changed immediately.

This is Xiang Chu's strength. He can dominate the offensive and defensive ends in the interior, and can also influence the opponent's exterior. By the way, he can create open shooting opportunities for the team's exterior.

What is a superstar is that one person can change the game. Only a very few people in the league can do it.

At the center position, the last one was O'Neal, and Howard is not at all.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied, but the Raptors had committed three fouls on both inside lines.

In the second half, both teams made adjustments. The Nuggets paid more attention to the overall defense and did not give the Raptors role players a chance, but the Raptors increased their singles.

DeRozan's singles efficiency is not bad, but the Raptors' overall offense is not that good, and the Nuggets' offense has not played smoothly inside.

The rhythm of both sides has actually slowed down, and they are using the strengths of both sides to grind and fight.

The scores of the two teams were entangled for most of the quarter. When it came to the rotation period, this time it was the Nuggets who took advantage.

The outbreak of the Raptors' substitute players in the first half was actually a bit unexpected. The Nuggets had already noticed in the second half, and it would be difficult for those players to continue to perform.

On the Nuggets side, the real combat effectiveness of the players is obviously stronger.

The Raptors' defense is not bad. The Nuggets' three-point rain did not appear, but the three-pointer still appeared.

The Nuggets gradually took the initiative. Their own offense is one aspect, but also because after the Raptors' Lowry and DeRozan rested, suddenly no one scored.

Louis Williams is also trying to integrate with the team when he plays again. He used his speed breakthrough to send two good assists, adding a touch to his debut.

The Raptors are in a critical situation, and they replaced the main force ahead of schedule.

However, the Nuggets also made adjustments. They let Chandler go to the second position to defend DeRozan, and Middleton and Faried played forward.

In the lead, they strengthened their defense to slow down the pace, and played slowly with Xiang Chu's inside advantage.

This trick made the opponent very uncomfortable. DeRozan felt a different defensive intensity. After hitting a few irons, the Nuggets took the opportunity to stabilize their lead.

In the last few minutes, the Raptors tried a three-pointer, but under the targeted defense of the Nuggets, they only made one of five shots. When the time came, they could only obediently send the victory to the Nuggets.

After the game, George Karl commented on Louis Williams' performance. He said: "I can be sure that he is the piece of the puzzle we need. He can score and pass the ball. He made the team better. .”

Xiang Chu is also very satisfied. As far as holding the ball, the new buddies really have nothing to say.

What they have to do now is to try their best to help their opponents integrate into the team's tactics.

On the offensive end, Louis Williams can play at his own pace when Xiang Chu is not there. When Xiang Chu is there, the Nuggets' tactics are also very simple and he should be able to adapt.

The key is the defensive system. The Nuggets' defensive system this season is still a bit unique.

Starting in February, he was also at home. Taking advantage of this time, Xiang Chu led Louis Williams all the way on the training ground, trying his best to help him adapt to the team's style of play.

This kind of identification with the players is more than eating and drinking. Louis Williams quickly became familiar with everyone.

The days without games passed quickly. On February 2, the Clippers visited.

The Clippers are now fifth in the West, and the Rockets are also biting tightly behind them.

They have a good lineup this season, but the results did not meet expectations, and the fans also made some mistakes. It is not without reason that Paul's All-Star voting is not as good as Curry.

In addition to the super popular stars, team performance and personal data will affect the status of players in the hearts of fans.

Paul missed this game due to injury, but the Nuggets must not take it lightly.

In fact, Paul's threat to the Nuggets is not that great, and the Nuggets are more worried about Griffin, Redick and Crawford.

Griffin and Redick are facing the weak link of the Nuggets, and Crawford is the type that explodes and cannot be controlled. Of course, the Nuggets now have a similar one.

After all, Louis Williams and the team still need time to run in, and George Karl can't put the treasure on him. To win the Clippers, you must defend the three-pointer and deal with Griffin well.

With Griffin's explosive power, the Nuggets will definitely let Faried start. Although Faried can't guard against him, the consumption is no problem.

Regarding the aspect of hard work, Faried is still very popular with the head coach.

Sure enough, at the start of the game, Griffin launched a fierce attack, and Faried was no opponent at all.

Moreover, they defended Xiang Chu better, and the Nuggets felt the danger.
