The strongest basket king

Chapter 382 The Spoiler

The Nuggets were killed by the Wizards last time, but that situation was also a bit special.

The opponent came to their home court, and the Nuggets must not let that happen again.

The Wizards' starting lineup was stronger than last time, and Nene had a truce, and they could better limit Xiang Chu with Nene.

The start of the game between the two sides was a confrontation. The Wizards Wall and Bill had two shots in the backcourt. The Nuggets Xiang Chu, Knight and Middleton formed a very stable offensive triangle.

Because of Xiang Chu, the Nuggets attacked more fiercely.

The Wizards also quickly dispatched troops, and then used the bench lineup to open a gap at the Nuggets' fourth position.

Nene still put more energy on the defense, and did not go straight to the theme like Humphries and Kevin Seraphim.

There is no doubt that the Wizards still have the highest scoring efficiency at the [-]th position of the Nuggets.

The Nuggets really can't underestimate their opponents. The Wizards feel that this season is not much different from last season, but some details are handled better.

They have always been able to think of ways on the offensive end, and they have obviously done their homework. Many tactics are aimed at the weak links of the Nuggets.

However, Xiang Chu's strength was not given in vain.

Gortat's main defense quickly failed, mainly due to fouls. The Wizards let Nene go to the fifth position to defend, but soon fell into foul trouble.

In fact, both of them were a bit underweight, and it was too exhausting to carry the neck.

They were able to attack originally, but they couldn't take care of it because of the high consumption on the defensive end.

The outside world was also shocked by Xiang Chu's offensive power.

Fans can't see where he has improved at all, but it always feels great to see him abuse all kinds of insiders.

"A center forward should play like an overlord. It's really hard to watch if it's so soft."

"The fifth position of the Wizards looks fierce, but in the end they only pull out to shoot. The current atmosphere in the league is really bad, but fortunately there are bullies."

"Small ball is obviously not talented enough. If other teams also have insiders like Overlord, will they still miss small ball?"

"League celebrities have said that the Warriors' style of play is not good in the playoffs, and the critical moment still depends on the Overlord."

The fans watched the excitement. As professionals, Western teams have long been thinking about how to deal with Xiang Chu, and some Eastern teams have also begun to act.

Just like when O'Neal was at his peak, other teams in the league had to put up meat shields, good insiders had to gain weight, and a strong player could influence the direction of the league.

It has been a few years since the meat shield is worthless, and now we have to deal with Xiang Chu, this kind of player will definitely appreciate in value, and they all have to thank Xiang Chu.

The Wizards Humphries played very well. Humphries is not strong, but he is playing against the fourth position who is shorter than him, so he can give full play to his strength.

In addition to Humphries, Pierce also showed his strength in the second quarter. As a veteran, he can still seize some opportunities on the front line.

The Wizards are just like last time, each player took turns to play, which brought a lot of trouble to the Nuggets defense.

But this time the Nuggets have maintained the lead, even if the lead is not much, but the control is different.

A team like the Wizards was able to upset many times in the last playoffs because of their multi-point blooming characteristics, but this characteristic is not easy to use at critical moments of the game.

If they can't gain an advantage before the final quarter, they will not be so easy to play against strong teams.

The Nuggets played too poorly last time, and now they have not allowed the Wizards to overtake the score, and the possibility of winning the game is increasing.

A team with more blooming points can stand out at the last moment. This time the Nuggets' offense has kept up. Even if the Wizards can always rely on tactical cooperation to bite the score, Xiang Chu can crush them in the end.

In the first half, the Wizards had three fouls on both insides.

By the third quarter, the two couldn't stand it anymore. Three fouls were different from four fouls, and four fouls were different from five fouls.

By the third quarter, the Wizards were already relying on Wall and Pierce to forcefully continue their lives.

The Nuggets didn't lead by much, but the Wizards felt like they couldn't hold on.

Maybe it's the halo of a strong team, even ordinary fans watching the live broadcast have this feeling.

At the end of the third quarter, Gortat made five fouls, and soon after the fourth quarter, Nene also committed five fouls. The Wizards couldn't stand it anymore.

Humphries' efficiency dropped in the second half, and the Nuggets had a tendency to open the score.

Wizards coach Whitman requested a timeout, and he can only pin his hopes on Wall and Bill at this time.

Xiang Chu will expand the defense area at the end of the quarter. It is too difficult to score inside. They are stronger outside. At this time, even if they generally have three-pointers, they have to make bold shots.

However, some things really can't be forced.

Wall and Bill really can't get tough at the critical moment, especially Wall, as an All-Star starter, his offensive ability is really not enough.

The Eastern Conference has also withered stars in recent years. Perhaps a player like him is suitable for team basketball, but if the team does not have a few scoring killers, it will not be easy for the Wizards to go further.

Gortat didn't play in the fourth quarter due to foul problems. Of course, his defense was worse than Nene's. Humphries performed well, and the Wizards planned to let Nene play the fifth position all the time.

It's just that Xiang Chu's consent is needed to make it to the end. Just five minutes into the game, Nene was sent off for another foul.

Then Middleton hit another three-pointer, and the Nuggets' lead came to double digits.

At 3 minutes and 14 seconds, Xiang Chu capped Humphries.

At 2 minutes and 27 seconds, Rasoul Butler missed a three-pointer. In the next Wizards offense, Wall made a shot from outside the three-point line. The game basically had no suspense.

The Wizards persisted until the end, but the game was definitely lost.

Everyone can attack and sometimes no one can score. If they reach the playoffs, this offensive ability will definitely be targeted. Relying on the performance of role players is no different from gambling luck.

After playing the Wizards, the life of the Nuggets is not so easy.

They are about to go to the away game to play back to back, back to back to rest for a day and back to back away.

Xiang Chu asked Olivia to be obedient at home, and then flew to Los Angeles with the team.

It must not be that easy to play the Clippers back-to-back away games.

Both the Clippers and Rockets now want to squeeze into the top four of the four games, and they are also playing very hard.

A team of their level happens to have the strength to become a spoiler.

There are star players, role players and obvious weaknesses, and they will do their best against a team like the Nuggets.

The Nuggets also want to win now. The more intense the competition in the West, the more different the No. [-] in the West will be from No. [-] in the West. After all, the Pepsi Center is the home of the league's famous devils.
