The strongest basket king

Chapter 270

"Griffin scored two points... and scored. Griffin did a good job this time."

"Xiang Chu crushed in, and the Clippers chose to flank. Hey... a step too late. The Clippers' defensive strategy today should be to reduce fouls. This time and the previous one, Jordan didn't play hard."

In the game between the Nuggets and the Clippers, the first quarter was a scoring battle between Xiang Chu and Griffin.

Both scored in double figures, and the scores of the two teams were also very close.

In the contest between the two teams' bench lineups, Crawford felt hot, beating Louis Williams.

To be precise, all of the Nuggets' bench teams didn't play well.

The Clippers took the lead at once, and Rivers clenched his fists on the sidelines. His strategy was still correct.

Focus on interference with Xiang Chu, retain enough flexibility to disrupt the rhythm of the Nuggets outside, they have a chance.

But Rivers didn't get complacent for long. After the main lineups of both sides played again, Xiang Chu still retained the efficiency of the first quarter, while Griffin's offense dropped slightly.

As the fourth position, Griffin has a wider attack range, but is not so stable.

Rivers gritted his teeth, gave instructions to the players on the field, and began to attack.

After the outside shooter loses rhythm, it is logical that they will not recover immediately. As a strong team, the defensive strategy is not static, but different choices are made based on the situation on the field.

But the Clippers were still wrong. After the Nuggets opened up outside, Knight and Middleton hit 4 consecutive three-pointers. The Nuggets caught up with the score and formed a lead.

This is the horror of the current Nuggets. If Xiang Chu is not flanked, Xiang Chu can kill a team.

During the intermission, seeing that the score was already behind, Rivers was also full of bitterness. After so much preparation before the game, he did not expect the Nuggets to solve it with a few hammers.

It still needs to shoot three-pointers. Griffin is not only about attacking, he also needs to support. Paul can't play, so he can only pin his hopes on Griffin.

In the collision between strong teams, strong players must stand up. The NBA is a league dominated by stars.

There is no need to change the Nuggets' strategy. Now the Clippers are trying to consume Griffin. If Griffin can't play an efficient game at the last moment, the Nuggets can win the opponent.

In the third quarter, it is obvious that the Clippers' defense has increased in intensity.

In the first half, Jordan, who was trying to control fouls, moved a lot more. When Jordan received his third foul, the Clippers increased the attack and began to rotate at the same time.

The Nuggets' defense against Redick today was successful because Paul couldn't play, and the shooter couldn't get the ball at the best time, so the threat was reduced by half.

Now the Clippers can only rely on Crawford's outside line, and he is indeed unpredictable at this point.

However, when Xiang Chu was there, the Nuggets' perimeter defense expanded greatly, and he couldn't make every ball a fairy ball, and his efficiency was not very high.

In the last few minutes of the third quarter, the Clippers played a small lineup, so their three-pointers finally blossomed, but Griffin, who came to the fifth position, was wilted.

So the gap between them and the Nuggets has not narrowed a bit.

On the contrary, when Xiang Chu left the field to take a break, they seized the opportunity. Jordan, who appeared again, showed a stronger fighting power than Mozgov, and had a good time.

The score was close and Xiang Chu was not in a hurry to play. He has a very good mentality now and believes that he can lead the team to bring out a good game at a critical moment.

Xiang Chu didn't play again until the Clippers replaced Griffin.

This time he played even more fiercely. He was like a wild beast in the paint. It was already the last quarter, so he didn't need to care about his physical strength anymore.

In less than 3 minutes, Jordan had committed five fouls.

Rivers was worried, whether to replace Jordan or not.

After thinking about it, he decided to make a substitution. He hoped that Ryan Hollins, who had been in the league for many years, could hold out for a few minutes.

But after he played, he realized that this was an extravagant hope. Hollins was too thin.

As soon as he played, the Nuggets' lead was about to expand, and Rivers quickly chose to pause. The score gap between the two teams at this time was less than double digits, and the Clippers still had a chance.

He simply let Griffin appear in the fifth position again, hoping to perform on the outside.

The Clippers' small lineup is okay, Redick and Barnes both hit three-pointers, but the trouble is that Griffin has also made five fouls.

The time has entered the last few minutes, Rivers gritted his teeth, and replaced Jordan again.

When the game time just entered within 3 minutes, Jordan made six fouls, Rivers looked excited and felt like he was going to hit the referee, that is to say, the referee was lenient and didn't give him a T.

Jordan was sent off, and now the Clippers can only rely on luck to come back, such as a three-pointer.

However, when the Nuggets hit a three-pointer, Knight and Middleton made a combo. At 1:21, the Nuggets led by 10 points.

The Clippers suddenly became a little chaotic. After Redick missed a three-pointer again, the Clippers lost the courage to continue fighting.

120:111, the Nuggets won nine consecutive victories.

Rivers was a little depressed after the game. He said: "We didn't implement the defense consistently. We must become a top defensive team. Sometimes we are lucky. We can solve the problem by attacking alone, but offense is not a panacea."

Xiang Chu said to the reporter calmly: "The time of the match does not seem to be long, but it is not short. This is the same as boxing. You must maintain enough patience, but when the opponent shows a flaw, you must have the ability to explode. To hit the nail on the head, I think we did a good job."

Every conversation between the strong teams in the Western Conference can attract the attention of many people. The Nuggets are much more popular this season than before.

The young people in the team were very proud, but under Xiang Chu's example, no one went astray.

Louis Williams did not play well in this game, which was expected. Xiang Chu talked to him again and asked him not to be under pressure. The Nuggets traded him not to let him fight the fire, but to The weak link in the lineup is upgraded, and the team will give him enough time.

Of course, Xiang Chu will continue to urge the opponent to integrate into the team during training, not just encouragement.

Xiang Chu is more disciplined in this aspect, so don't even try to be lazy in team training.

Now that the schedule is over halfway, the Nuggets are still No. [-] in the West, and Xiang Chu communicated with George Karl again.

There is not much pressure on their record this season, and injuries must be prevented.

George Karl couldn't laugh or cry when Xiang Chu repeatedly told him, "Xiang Chu, I have coached more than 1000 games. I know very well how to maintain the team's combat effectiveness. Don't worry."

Xiang Chu smiled slightly, "Of course, I just remind you that we have a chance this season."

Xiang Chu stroked the apex with his fingers, and George Carlton felt a heat in his heart.
