The strongest basket king

Chapter 322 The Spurs' Choice
During the game, Popovich yelled from the sidelines, and rarely had an argument with Duncan.

But when facing the reporter, the old man temporarily regained his composure, "Xiang Chu is an excellent guy, his defense has affected our offense, that's it."

Regarding coming to the bench in advance, Popovich said directly: "I think the game is like that, they don't have to stay on the court."

Ginobili also said after the game: "If we don't play with enough intensity, if we don't play hard enough, if we don't play hard enough, we won't win the game here."

George Karl was full of praise in an interview, "I'm very happy, we played more aggressively, and all of us are ready for the game."

Xiang Chu still showed a proud attitude, "Why is the away game so good, man, I am no longer a rookie, home and away games are the same for me, what I have to do is to try my best to win every game and end this series as soon as possible match."

The comparison is a comparison, but the outcome of the two teams really has little to do with the home game.

Their fighting spirit has surpassed the restrictions of home and away games. In fact, Xiang Chu still admires the Spurs in this respect. After all, the Nuggets' home game is a little bit more difficult.

Playing games now, the coaching staff has to think more about the details, but the players can't care too much, and it's serious to work hard and work hard.

In the east, the Heat have won the match point, and it feels like they are getting easier every game.

In the fourth game, the Pacers barely resisted in the first half.

As soon as James showed off in the third quarter, the score gap between the two sides came to double digits.

A double-digit gap is almost a death sentence for a non-offensive team like the Pacers.

In the final quarter, the Heat firmly held the lead, and the game was just taken away.

It is worth noting that the Heat took the initiative to adjust the starting lineup after winning the previous game, playing Lewis, who has height and can shoot outside.

It stands to reason that the Heat should give up the inside to fight against Hibbert, but his performance is very disappointing.

Xiang Chu deduced it, and felt that if the Heat dared to deal with him like this, he would dunk the Heat's basket.

It can only be said that the Pacers are strong, but their weaknesses are also very obvious.

A break has been arranged in the previous schedule, so even if they return to the home court, they will play every other day until the two sides decide the winner.

It can be seen from the Spurs' home games that the physical strength of the Spurs players is not at their best.

In other words, they must increase the rotation to ensure the efficiency of the team.

With the current lineup, the Spurs are second only to the Nuggets in the regular season, and they rely on the performance of the whole team.

Before the Spurs wanted to compete with the Nuggets for the main force, they changed after they found out that they couldn't win.

The Nuggets are also conducting targeted training. The key is not to let the Spurs' rotation go crazy. If the opponent can only work hard, the Nuggets can handle it a lot.

At least Xiang Chu has figured out how much fuel Duncan still has.

The high efficiency of 20 points should be Duncan's limit, and the Nuggets can also influence through confrontation.

It is a very happy thing to have an absolute strength in the team. Xiang Chu has a thorough understanding of the Spurs' defense. Even if the opponent controls the foul, it is useless to him.

Of course, fouls are useless. For him to come, less than 80% of the free throws are already very useful.

The point is, the Spurs' meat shields are also limited.

In the fourth game between the Nuggets and the Spurs, the starters of both sides have not changed.

The Spurs' opening tactics have not changed, but their focus has been slightly adjusted.

Popovich still hopes that Parker can take on the heavy burden of offense so that Duncan can have the energy to help defend.

The Nuggets' defensive strategy, in fact, Parker's long two-pointer has a good chance to play, but Parker's state in this playoffs has not been very stable.

When the team reaches a critical moment, as the team's strong point, he must stabilize.

Otherwise, the team can't move forward, and Popovich can only trust a few old buddies.

No matter how good a tactic is, there must be an executor. It is already the stage of the Western Conference Finals. There are no such tricks, and the comparison is who can do it better.

The Spurs got off to a good start. Parker scored and scored to show the quality of a player who has won the FMVP. In addition, Leonard participated in the duo between Parker and Duncan.

The Nuggets started a little passively, and George Karl quickly called a timeout to adjust.

In fact, it is not difficult to see through, it is the focus of defense after the pick-and-roll.

At this time, it depends on the personal ability of the star. Parker's ability is not bad, but it is already at the level of being able to resist and cannot play. After the Nuggets reacted, they started chasing points with Xiang Chu as the core of the attack.

The Spurs immediately sacrificed Ginobili. The first two games were recruiting, but this time it didn't work.

Ginobili has this characteristic, and he has long been a representative of timelessness.

He is not effective at this point, and Danny Green is also a little wilted at that point. Speaking of which, their current strength is actually at the level of easy-to-use role players. It is impossible for the Spurs to rely on them to save their lives.

After this section, the Nuggets took the lead.

The Nuggets' outside line is not explosive, but there will be a three-pointer every once in a while.

The main lineup is like this, and so is the bench.

On the Spurs side, it was getting harder and harder to score, and Popovich looked very bad.

If the Spurs can't bring the fluency of offense, it will become more and more difficult.

Popovich simply used substitute players on a large scale, even replacing players who hadn't played much before.

Of course, it's just players who didn't play much against the Nuggets. Everyone in their lineup has been baptized in the playoffs.

Popovich has nothing to do now, he must find players who can perform on the perimeter.

Parker still hasn't taken on the heavy responsibility on the offensive end. Parker is the youngest in GDP, but because his previous style of play relied on speed, the threat after adjustment is far less than when it was at its peak. The Spurs are now a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Popovich knew very well that if they want to beat the Nuggets, they must activate all the role players and continue to fight for the main force. He has lost confidence.

How strong Xiang Chu is, the Spurs felt it last season, this season Xiang Chu is already stronger, the Spurs can only win by the whole, and that is gambling.

The Nuggets' rotation is not very good, but it is still slightly better than the Spurs. Unexpectedly, the most stable players in the playoffs are not a few shooters, but Lou Williams and Mozgov.

One is to be able to play singles, and the other is to be able to stand up a little under the basket with his height.

But the Nuggets' shooters, occasionally a three-pointer can make the Spurs frightened.

After Xiang Chu played again, he found that the team's lead was expanding, and immediately started the scoring mode.

If you have the opportunity, you have to do it hard. If you don't do it, wait for someone from the Spurs to stand up.

For a while, the Spurs were in a hurry on the defensive end.
