The strongest basket king

Chapter 372

In the third quarter, the Lakers' ability to bloom more points was limited.

Kobe's passing is still very sharp, but they have a lot fewer chances to make shots.

Except for Kobe, the starting lineup of the Lakers can only be said to be very ordinary players. They felt good in the first half and played an exceptionally sharp offense, but it is not that difficult to stop them.

The X factor can affect the game because it is unexpected. If you can perform at the same level with specificity, then you are really invincible.

Moreover, the Lakers' team style of play is actually not real, they rely on Kobe to initiate.

In this case, the Nuggets' defense is actually traceable, unlike a real weak team, I really don't know who will stand up.

The Nuggets slowly took the initiative, and it was the same when it came to the rotation period.

The Lakers' offensive methods are too simple, basically shooting from the outside, and even the offensive methods chosen by the inside players are similar.

The Lakers used to have a few insiders who were not good at getting anyone, but now they don't even have a reliable fifth position.

Not only Xiang Chu can hang them, but Mozgov and Nurkic can also hang them.

After the Lakers' weaknesses are fully exposed, they can no longer imagine what they did in the first half.

The score was tied in the third quarter, and the overtake was completed at the beginning of the final quarter.

The important thing is that the Nuggets did not completely rely on Xiang Chu at this time. Their rhythm has been maintained very well, gradually suppressing the Lakers on both offensive and defensive ends.

This is undoubtedly the atmosphere of a strong team and excellent tactical execution.

After Kobe played again in the fourth game, he finally couldn't bear it and started the personal scoring mode.

The Lakers also put Boozer and the main lineup together, and came up with the strongest offensive lineup.

Boozer's current defensive problems are obvious, but he still has some skills in offense, so the Nuggets chose Faried to stay on the court to defend.

As far as the Lakers' defensive strength is concerned, the Nuggets don't need to purely attack.

Kobe's current physical fitness is far from that of his peak, but his scoring experience is very rich, and he quickly fouled Fournier twice.

The Nuggets adjusted again and let Chandler defend.

When the game entered the last 3 minutes, Knight hit a three-pointer, then Xiang Chu blocked Boozer, and the Nuggets quickly countered Faried and scored a dunk.

After this wave, the Nuggets have already led by 9 points.

The Lakers, anxious to chase points, hit consecutive three-pointers. Their three-point shooting percentage was extremely high in the first half, but it plummeted in the second half. In the end, Kobe made two kills.

But the current upper limit of the Lakers is the same, except for Kobe, they can't make a move.

And Kobe's scoring efficiency has been far lower than before.

At 1 minute and 17 seconds, Xiang Chu scored an offensive rebound and the game was concluded.

Kobe scored a triple-double in this game, but there were 10 turnovers, and the years are aging.

But Lakers coach Byron Scott still praised Kobe, "I know Kobe can see everything in the game, so many times I let him make his own decisions. Ask them what they saw and what the specific situation was."

"He reacts to the defense, that's how great players play, and his shot selection the last two games has been really good, but he hasn't taken as many shots as we'd like."

To be honest, Xiang Chu was a little ashamed of this buddy's speech, and those who didn't know thought they had won.

George Karl also often praises him, but compared to this one, the realm is different.

It's no wonder that the outside world has always despised him, thinking that Scott just licked Kobe well to be able to sit firmly in the handsome position.

However, the Lakers are not capable of fighting right now, and it is correct to brag about Kobe.

Jeremy Lin, who has become a substitute, also praised Kobe in an interview. Xiang Chu expressed deep sympathy. He was still impressed when Jeremy Lin was popular. Sure enough, competitive sports strength is the foundation.

December ended perfectly, and the Nuggets' Western Conference rankings also rose to second.

The Grizzlies lack stamina, which has been proven in previous seasons, and now the only ones ahead of the Nuggets are the Warriors who have sprung up this season.

It was so difficult to get into the top four, and the Nuggets still had a little panic.

After all, the team has many young players and is not so confident, but now everyone's confidence is rising again.

The slogan of No. [-] in the West has also been raised, and everyone believes that the team is stronger than the Warriors.

In January, Olivia's stomach felt a little bigger. Xiang Chu took her to the hospital for an examination, and the condition was still very good.

But Xiang Chu was still a little worried, so he hired another professional servant.

The problems that can be solved with money are all small problems, and Xiang Chu feels that his mind has degenerated.

The first game in January is an away game against the Bulls, the fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The competition for the top four in the East is also very fierce. The records of the Raptors, Eagles, Wizards, and Bulls are very close.

Moreover, there is also a Cavaliers with the strongest lineup in the Eastern Conference in theory who is still running the team behind.

The Bulls now have the most complete lineup. Noah and Gasol seem to be able to fight Xiang Chu.

In addition, Jimmy Butler is playing better and better, and the Bulls also hope that the team can go further.

At the beginning of the game, Xiang Chu forced Noah to score, but the Bulls' mood did not fluctuate.

Although the Bulls are not a top team, they have rich experience in facing various strong teams.

They still played the most confident defense, and then let Gasol focus on the fourth position.

Now the entire league knows about the Nuggets' fourth position.

Now that Gallinari is still on truce, neither Chandler nor Faried are the best candidates to defend Gasol.

The rhythm of both sides is not fast, and the score is also rising. Xiang Chu's advantage is not enough to kill the Bulls in seconds.

Moreover, the Bulls' three-point ability has improved this season, which has also increased the difficulty of the Nuggets' defense.

However, they will not panic. They are actually very confident in the slow-paced game, but they just need a little patience.

Entering the rotation period, the two sides have changed their styles. The Bulls Brooks and Hinrich both feel good, and the Nuggets' Williams also has a good touch. Compared with the main lineup, both sides have a much higher scoring efficiency.

It is also because the rotations of both sides are speeding up, but this will not affect the main lineup. Only the stronger side can determine the rhythm. The lively play during the rotation period is actually a drop in level.

In the second quarter, Gasol had trouble on the offensive end.

Although the Nuggets seldom use them, they can still play the Twin Towers. The two insiders on their bench are not bad. It's just that Xiang Chu is very strong, which makes them a bit soy sauce.

As soon as the Nuggets play the Twin Towers, the Bulls' inside offense is abolished.

If Mozgov or Nurkic were stronger, the Nuggets could actually play the Twin Towers for a long time.

The Bulls immediately changed the direction of the main attack. Rose wanted to stand up, but his strength has really declined a lot now. The Bulls still rely on Butler on the outside.
