The strongest basket king

Chapter 279 Thinking
"Isaiah Thomas! Another three-pointer, a small guy with so much energy, it's hard to believe he can attack like this, he almost ignored the defense in front of him."

"Rudy Gay made a shot against the defense and hit it! Middleton is still a little tender."

"Can the king catch up to the score? If the Nuggets capsize in the gutter again... Oh, Xiang Chu's strong 2+1, he refuses to have accidents."

"Nate hit another three-pointer. The king's defense is really helpless. If they can't improve the efficiency of the defense, even a few more magic balls are useless."

In the third quarter, the King's outburst made the Nuggets a little worried, and then they were quickly beaten back.

The Nuggets played well on a few outside points, and the Kings couldn't defend them at all.

As long as there are outside points and Xiang Chu can dominate the game, the team has so many outside lines this season, and Xiang Chu's chances of dominating the game have also increased a lot, so they are now No. [-] in the West.

In the playoffs, George Karl will let him play more time, and the Nuggets will have fewer weak links. At that time, opponents want to use some X factors to beat them, I am afraid it will be difficult.

And even if there is one, it is impossible to repeat it again and again. On the stage of the playoffs, only the real strong can have the last laugh. This season's Nuggets are.

The King's explosive touch in the third quarter failed to reverse the situation, and that's it for this game.

In the final quarter, they had no fighting spirit, and the game ended smoothly.

Xiang Chu said in an interview after the game: "Athletes are also human beings. Everyone's state fluctuates sometimes, but it doesn't matter. We will help each other to make adjustments quickly. Now I can say that everything is for the playoffs."

Now that Xiang Chu speaks more and more with the aura of a star, he actually feels that he has not changed much. What may change is the team's performance and his status in the world. These are halo bonuses.

Now closely behind them is the Thunder, Westbrook has come back, they may be the most powerful contender for the first place in the Western Conference.

Durant also maintained his performance when leading the team alone, which is indeed worthy of respect.

His strength is really too strong. In the All-Stars, he can score from the outside as he likes. Xiang Chu just took advantage of the rebounds and grabbed the MVP.

In the regular season, the two are also contenders for the scoring table, and they are also strong contenders for the regular season MVP.

Xiang Chu is now No. [-] in both rebounds and blocked shots. If he works hard, he has a great chance of being No. [-] in scoring. After all, when Westbrook is back, Durant can't take so many shots.

The reporter was also very interested in this question. Xiang Chu responded: "I like the title of scoring champion, but I hope that the team's combat effectiveness is stable. My focus will be on the team's regular season results, and I will not compete with anyone. This title."

Xiang Chu has considered this issue a long time ago, and the fans also hope that he will get more glory, but he cares more about the team's playoff results than the scoring champion.

If it affects the team's playoff performance because of the need to score more points, it will definitely not be worthwhile.

In fact, it is also a coincidence. If in some years, his scoring average is more than enough to win the scoring champion, and it happens that Westbrook is injured on the Thunder side, and Durant is madly scoring points for the team's performance, then there will be a situation of competition between the two.

If Xiang Chu can be picked by the way, he also likes it. Now he has decided to focus on the team's performance.

The team's performance is not everything for performance, so it may be easier for him to directly score high points. He will give role players more opportunities to exercise. Xiang Chu has talked with George Karl several times.

Not just Lou Williams, of course this buddy is the key target. The Nuggets need a sixth man like him, as well as the team's shooters and young people. Some of them have no experience in the playoffs. The heart is cultivated.

This is not only done in the second half of the season, if the opponents in the first round of the playoffs are not strong, Xiang Chu will also give his teammates more opportunities to perform, all in order to go further in the playoffs.

Since he was lucky enough to get the system, Xiang Chu's goal is not just the maximum salary.

It would be embarrassing enough if you can't beat others by cheating.

Of course, they still can't lose the No. [-] position in the Western Conference. In the case of ensuring the team's ranking, the Nuggets will focus on lineup optimization.

Although George Karl is a little worried, it is actually absolutely no harm to the team.

The team is currently a few young people who are performing well. If they can go further, the Nuggets will not have to worry about it in the next few years.

You don't need to perform as well as Xiang Chu, just an ordinary All-Star level.

The next game for the Nuggets is against the Trail Blazers, who are the fourth in the Western Conference. If there is no super performance of the Nuggets, the Blazers will feel the biggest contrast this season.

The Blazers didn't show their immaturity until the All-Star season, and they couldn't continue to compete with the top three in the Western Conference in terms of record. However, there is still a long time in the regular season, and they still have a chance.

Aldridge has been absent in these few games, and Lillard has led the team to play a lot. The Blazers' lineup can be said to be two All-Star levels plus a few good players, but these two All-Star levels are relatively weak.

Without Aldridge, they play one big and four small, and they are also very sharp in bullying weak teams.

In fact, their previous lineup did not run into the best, and Aldridge was about to fall, but a few people in the team had to play fast to show their full strength.

The trouble in this is much more troublesome than the Nuggets optimizing the lineup. The complexity of a core and internal and external cores is completely different.

The way the Blazers deal with Xiang Chu is to defend against the ball. Their fifth position, Robin Lopez, is barely a meat shield. In fact, they are really good at defending. The No. [-] assist defense prevented Xiang Chu from receiving the ball.

It just so happens that the Nuggets' two forwards playing the [-]th position are not in good shape. The problem of this state may be because they still suffer physically when playing the [-]th position, but Farid's words can't prevent the outside line like Batum.

Unexpectedly, after the Nuggets have practiced team defense, the fourth position will become a weak link. Their fourth position is not strong enough, and others dare to let go on the offensive end to pinch Xiang Chu. Sometimes it is really troublesome.

The Blazers got off to a good start, and Lillard beat Knight.

The situation was better when the main players of the two sides played against each other. It can be said that there was a stalemate. After all, Xiang Chu had a relatively large advantage in rebounding.

But the opponent Morris Williams came up with two three-pointers, helping the Blazers gain the lead.

Fortunately, the Nuggets' bench performance was not bad. After the opponent first took advantage, Belinelli and Dunleavy also hit three-pointers.

Louis Williams' overall situation is so-so, but it is still possible to break through and score the ball. This is also more in line with the Nuggets' style of play.

Thus, the two teams began a scoring battle.
