The strongest basket king

Chapter 378 First in the West
The Nuggets continued their winning streak, but the team's health also had some problems, and Belinelli also had to truce.

The Nuggets have now started Gary Harris, and it can be said that all the players signed are on.

Fortunately, several main players of the team are doing well for the time being, and Gallinari has also been training with the team.

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries in the misfortune. Gallinari also needed to adjust his physical condition because he had not played for a year.

Back at home, the team will immediately play back-to-back against the Timberwolves, the weakest team in the Western Conference.

Because of the back-to-back relationship, the Nuggets didn't start very well.

The Timberwolves Wiggins is crazy at this point, and neither Middleton nor Chandler can restrain it.

At this time, the Nuggets had to play three front lines and play strength with each other.

Even if it is back to back, they are also the defending champions who cannot be defeated casually.

In fact, at the tactical level, the Nuggets still have the advantage, but Wiggins is in a bursting state.

After his efficiency dropped slightly, the situation on the field changed.

After the two sides entered the rotation, the situation became obvious, and Williams broke out in an unreasonable mode again.

The Nuggets quickly caught up with the score, but in the second quarter, Wiggins, who was heavily marked, lost a lot of opportunities. The Timberwolves could only use Thaddeus Young to play their fourth position.

Diss Young is a very mature player, playing steadily, but not explosive.

At this time, the Timberwolves' young insider Gorgui Dieng has been blown away by Xiang Chu. Jiang has the ability to block shots, but he can't use it at all under confrontation.

After Des Young put more energy on offense, the Timberwolves' defense had problems.

Offense and defense are difficult to have at the same time, not only for many players, but also for the team.

It's just that after the Timberwolves' defense declined, the offense did not keep up. Except for Wiggins, the offensive talents of the Timberwolves' other players were weaker.

And Wiggins is also a rookie, unable to fully play under the care of the Nuggets.

Therefore, when the Timberwolves had an advantage in the first quarter, the Timberwolves became the lagging party in the second quarter.

In fact, the Timberwolves still have some chances in this game. The Nuggets are out of form because many players are back to back.

Maybe the back-to-back is only part of the reason. The real situation is that the players have reached the exhaustion period. This is also the reason for the constant minor injuries in the team during this period.

Not just the Nuggets, but many teams are like this, and it will be fine after the All-Stars.

When the time comes to train newcomers, prepare for the playoffs, and prepare for the playoffs, the bodies of many players in the league are also used to this process.

During the intermission, George Karl still made arrangements for Wiggins. He is indeed the player who is the biggest threat to the Nuggets in this Timberwolves team.

The Nuggets are not much ahead now, and if the opponent goes crazy again, they may overturn.

The Timberwolves also clarified their tactics during the intermission, that is, the forward attack.

The Nuggets' back line also has weak links, but the Timberwolves' back line is too weak.

The Nuggets still take turns defending against the strikers, and there is Xiang Chu's defense in it.

The Timberwolves are not strong in three-pointers, and they don't have so many concerns, just win the game with the smallest cost.

Of course, if the opponent really broke out, they would also adopt flanking defense.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Timberwolves attacked in the third and fourth positions. Affected by injuries, the Nuggets now have fewer players and some cannot resist.

Therefore, Xiang Chu stepped up his inside attack, and soon Gion had fouled four times.

However, the Timberwolves don't have a good inside rotation at all.

They even sent Radulica with soy sauce, but it didn't help at all.

However, the Timberwolves' performance is already very good. They rely on the attack of the front line to bite the score abruptly.

But when it came to the rotation period, the Nuggets began to open the score again.

Zach LaVine also played well, but as a rookie, he was still a little tender.

The young Timberwolves are very uncomfortable with team defense, and the Nuggets just don't have a high outside shooting percentage, otherwise the game would have been won.

At the last moment, Timberwolves veteran Maurice Williams showed off his power and made consecutive hits from the outside.

But at this time, the Timberwolves had been beaten inside by Xiang Chu. When the opponent pinched him, Chandler hit 2 three-pointers from the outside, interrupting the Timberwolves' fantasy of chasing points.

The Nuggets have won 12 consecutive victories, and they will usher in a showdown with the No. [-] Warriors in the West.

If the Nuggets win the Warriors, they can be No. [-] in the Western Conference.

So the reporter was not interested in them beating the Timberwolves, but just asked them what they knew about the Warriors.

The Warriors didn't have this enthusiasm before, so victory can bring everything.

The first collision between the two sides this season was when the Nuggets went to Golden State to play an away game.

Xiang Chu also took the opportunity to go back to Xiang Jianzhong's house. That boy Alexander was letting himself go in college, and Xiang Jianzhong was worrying about his son during this time.

In fact, it was nothing. Under Xiang Jianzhong's strict education, Alexander was able to graduate from university, and then he found a job and stabilized.

That kid just likes to pick up girls, as long as he doesn't make a few children, life will be very comfortable.

This is also the normal trajectory of a middle-class family like theirs. After all, Xiang Chu is cheating.

Every time Xiang Chu comes here, he mainly chats with Xiang Jianzhong. This kind of family atmosphere is a very good experience occasionally.

The Warriors have not changed their players this season, and they exploded after changing coaches and starters. Cole has directly become famous in the coaching circle.

Cole worked with Xiang Chu when he was still in the rookie game. He is also very envious of the Nuggets having a player like Xiang Chu.

Before the game started, the coaches of the two sides even boasted to each other commercially.

But after entering the game, the two sides are aiming at the extreme arrangement.

Cole has carefully studied Xiang Chu, so it came up with the double protection of Bogut and Draymond Green.

The two insiders didn't participate in the offense at all, and they wholeheartedly restricted Xiang Chu. This is actually inconsistent with the Warriors' usual game style.

In order to target the Nuggets, Cole made a special arrangement.

Not only is the Warriors as good offensively as ever, their defense is also online this season.

In fact, the Nuggets have been keeping a close eye on the two strong points of Curry and Thompson, but their performance proves that they are very different from ordinary shooters.

In the first quarter, one of the Nuggets' four outsiders hit a three-pointer, but that's all, and the sum is not as good as Curry and Thompson.

The Nuggets' defense is not bad, but their offensive efficiency is slightly inferior to that of the Warriors.

After entering the rotation, Iguodala guarded Williams strictly, and Justin Holiday became a surprise player, scoring two three-pointers in a row.

When Xiang Chu rested below, the Warriors' lead expanded to double digits.

At this time, the Nuggets realized that they underestimated the Warriors' desire to win. They felt that they were ready, but that was only for the Warriors last season, not the current No. [-] in the Western Conference.
