The strongest basket king

Chapter 293 His Era
The Nuggets have always remembered the depression of last season and paid great attention to the physical condition of the players, but injuries still inevitably appeared.

In the game against the Thunder, Chandler, who defended Durant most of the time, was injured.

Fortunately, the injury is not serious, about a week or two rest on the line.

It's just that there are only three weeks before the playoffs, and the team is still a little worried about Chandler's state.

The luck of misfortune is that Jefferson feels good during this period, and he is still no problem in the top starting lineup.

But with another loss, the Nuggets need to have a sense of urgency while preventing injuries.

In the end, they will play an away game against the Spurs. If they lose to the opponent, No. [-] in the Western Conference will really have to change.

There was also a rare tension on the team's training ground.

Xiang Chu encouraged his teammates from time to time, "Don't worry, everyone. What we have to do now is to adjust our state. Everyone is not a rookie on the basketball court, so I know everyone will know how to do it. As for the game...we will win, I promise. "

Xiang Chu is not talking nonsense, he has already greeted George Karl, and he will play more against the Spurs.

Although George Karl is worried about Xiang Chu's health, he will definitely not be soft when he competes for the first place in the Western Conference. Xiang Chu has been putting pressure on the opponent inside, and the Nuggets will have a greater chance of winning.

The Spurs now have a neat lineup, and Leonard, who is in the same class as Xiang Chu, is playing better and better.

The Spurs are one of the few teams in the league that does not have a superstar but does a good job on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Of course, their superstars are just getting old, and short-term bursts are still possible. This is the difference between them and real civilian teams.

The Spurs haven't changed much from last season, and the Nuggets are very familiar with them.

In the game between the two teams, Xiang Chu took the lead in scoring, but Duncan immediately responded with color.

Duncan didn't stop playing this time, he opened and closed when he came up, and played Faried in consecutive singles.

Xiang Chu was also a little puzzled. Duncan is older this season, doesn't he care about the next game?

Duncan pressed Faried to fight, and Xiang Chu pressed Split to fight.

The outside Spurs Danny Green hit three-pointers in a row. His kind of shooter who doesn't need the ball and plays concisely is sometimes difficult to defend. This is also related to the Spurs' tactics. The running is much more complicated than that of the Nuggets.

Duncan's cover and support did not affect the offense. Speaking of overall, he was better than Xiang Chu.

And Leonard, Middleton suffered a disadvantage in the confrontation.

The Spurs played well, and the Nuggets also played well. Outside Knight and Middleton came up today, and Fournier also hit a three-pointer.

Many fans did not expect that the game between the Nuggets and the Spurs turned out to be a confrontation.

This is also the result of the Spurs' deliberate pursuit, otherwise they let Duncan focus more on the defensive end, and the offensive efficiency of both sides will be much lower.

During the rotation period, the Spurs performed slightly better, and Ginobili and Mills played very well.

Through comparison, it was discovered that Ginobili was the final state of the ball-holding point on the bench, and Williams looked much younger in front of him.

The 37-year-old Ginobili suppressed Williams by virtue of his rhythm and organizational skills.

However, Jefferson, who once played for the Spurs, performed well after playing, and did not let the Spurs take too much advantage.

After the main players of both sides played again, the Spurs did not exceed the Nuggets' understanding. Duncan's efficiency was the same as usual, and he seemed a little tired in the first quarter and the second quarter. After all, he was one year older than Ginobili.

This time the Spurs did not allow Duncan to defend Xiang Chu. After Splitter went down, they chose second-year student Aaron Baynes. Baynes and Splitter are the same type, although neither can defend Xiang Chu. But you can top it off.

At the end of the first half, the Spurs were slightly ahead, and the players they played played more comprehensively.

In fact, Xiang Chu is also very envious of the cooperation played by the Spurs. All the players they play have a chance.

It's just that the Spurs' tactics are not suitable for the Nuggets. They just have to take a look.

The Nuggets defended Parker well in the first half, at the expense of allowing Danny Green to hit a few goals, but they will not change their strategy in the second half. The most important thing is to be able to limit the opponent's strong point. Danny Green's point, They can tighten up if needed.

In the third quarter, a rested Duncan made a comeback, but it didn't last long.

The Spurs probably want this effect, and it would be nice to be the first to win.

Although this routine has been proven in the playoffs, the Nuggets lineup has changed a lot this season, and the Spurs probably took the opportunity to test it out.

It is conceivable that their end will definitely be another routine, and Popovich has many routines.

This season, Xiang Chu is much stronger than last season. After Duncan's attack was not so resolute, Xiang Chu played a few times very hard, and the points that the Spurs led suddenly disappeared.

The Spurs immediately changed their formation and changed to playing one big and four small, hoping to compete for a strong offense.

It's just that after they didn't have a point inside, the outside line was also affected. At the end of the third quarter, they still inevitably fell behind.

During the rotation period, the Spurs did not perform well in the first half, only Ginobili did not fluctuate.

For the Nuggets, the perimeter is getting better and better.

Xiang Chu hasn't played yet, and the Nuggets' lead is likely to expand.

After Xiang Chu came on the field, the Spurs felt like they were about to collapse. Popovich could only play double inside, allowing Duncan to show off at the fourth position.

Xiang Chu found that Duncan, an old man, had kept a good hand before, and he could still play hard in the final quarter. He seemed to have better physical strength than the playoffs. Maybe it had something to do with his lack of defense against Xiang Chu today.

Duncan hit consecutively, but Xiang Chu played better than him. Splitter, who had maintained a good foul before, finally couldn't hold back in the final quarter.

While the Spurs were struggling, Danny Green was injured.

The Spurs' outside line was Danny Green's good performance. As soon as this buddy went, they were obviously at a disadvantage. The Nuggets didn't give the opponent any more chances.

At 2 minutes and 33 seconds, Splitter made six fouls. After Xiang Chu made two free throws, the Nuggets' lead came to double digits. Then Leonard and Mills missed three-pointers, and the Nuggets accepted it. Contest.

这场比赛邓肯29分13篮板2次盖帽老当益壮，但项楚35分15篮板4次盖帽表明了现在已经是他的时代，马刺靠着邓肯爆发是无法击败他们的。

Xiang Chu also said after the game: "The Spurs are our respected opponents. They can create threats, but we won this game."

"No. [-] in the West? Both of our teams do have a chance, and there's no doubt we'll try to keep that spot."

The reporters were very excited and didn't know that they would report this way, because in two days, the Spurs will go to Denver, and the two teams will have another game.
