The strongest basket king

Chapter 510

The Nuggets are also in a little trouble now, that is, Nurkic's injury is a bit repeated. In order to eliminate hidden dangers, the team decided to let him rest a few more games.

Although it is easier for a team with him to create a winning streak, the Nuggets' goal is not the regular season and they will not take risks.

Fortunately, the team's veteran David West is relatively strong, and the Nuggets will not be too miserable inside.

The Pacers didn't know what to consider, and faced the Nuggets with a small lineup, Paul George played at the fourth position.

It may be that the inside line is not an opponent, so the sword is slanted.

The situation in the game was as expected, Paul George played Jokic outside.

Of course, the Nuggets can also be replaced by one big and four small, but it is not necessary.

Because the Pacers play like this is to attack, and they can't defend people in the second, third and fourth positions except for Paul George, especially Gallinari, whose offensive effect is no worse than Paul George.

The key is that the Nuggets have Xiang Chu to guard in, and the Pacers lineup can only be bullied.

The Pacers can overestimate their own rebounding strength. Xiang Chu and Jokic almost took the rebounds. The Pacers frequently lost rebounds in the backcourt. Even if they made good offensive shots, the Nuggets led the score.

The fault tolerance rate of playing the Nuggets in this way is really too high, and the Pacers' inside line is a cash machine.

And Paul George is not a super scorer, the Nuggets can bear the balls he hits Jokic.

So after half a quarter, the Pacers replaced their backup center Turner.

Although it is said to be a substitute insider, Turner is a rookie and did not start so quickly. His efficiency is already higher than that of the other center of the team, Mahinmi.

As the game entered the rotation time, the Pacers played better and better.

Turner performed well, especially after Xiang Chu went down, the flaws of Nurkic's inability to play can be revealed.

In addition, CJ-Myers and this year's second-round pick Joe Young also feel very good.

The most likely to shine in the rotation lineup are defenders with good touch. They have more opportunities to have the ball in their hands, and they will often become the X factor of the game.

The Nuggets do not have Nurkic, and there are many players who can play on the bench, but unlike last season, most of the Nuggets' bench this season is mainly stable. They will not be particularly depressed, and they will rarely explode. .

Last season, the Nuggets' bench sometimes shot deadly three-pointers. Maybe Lu Wei hit deadly, or they could all be compared. This season is a completely different style.

So they can have an advantage if the opponent does not perform well, but they will have some problems if the opponent performs beyond the level.

The team is now under the halo of winning streak. Although George Karl hopes to continue the glory, he understands the risks involved and will increase the team rotation if he has the opportunity. The playing time of Xiang Chu and Jokic has been slightly reduced.

During the rotation period, the Pacers have a slight advantage, but it will not have a big impact on the Nuggets.

Just when their main force returned to the field and prepared to harvest, the situation changed.

In addition to Paul George, Monta Ellis suddenly broke out.

Paul George is actually left by the Nuggets on their own initiative, making him addicted to singles, and he can’t kill anyone anyway, but Ellis broke out continuously, hitting all kinds of mid-range three-pointers, and scoring in double figures in a single quarter is a bit of a hit The rhythm of the Nuggets is messed up.

The Pacers also successfully overtook and held the lead before the end of the first half.

They were led by 6 points at halftime, and it was still at home. The Nuggets players felt that this kind of thing hadn't happened in a while, and everyone was gearing up during the halftime break.

The winning streak must have a strong effect, and the team's fighting spirit is extremely strong.

Therefore, the coach saved the link of pouring chicken soup, and directly pointed out the shortcomings of the first half, hoping to reverse the situation through targeted defense and offense in the second half.

Regardless of Paul George's point, the Pacers must block other points.

Xiang Chu and Jokic's rest time should also be staggered, trying not to give the opponent's rookie center a chance.

In fact, Jokic is also a rookie, but it feels different just to become famous with the defending champion.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets' defense has improved a lot, and the entire Pacers, that is, Paul George, can attack. This is the result of the Nuggets' deliberate indulgence.

If Jokic plays the fourth position, he has to get used to such things.

Now at home, the Nuggets' players are still relatively strong, at least more than their opponents.

When the Pacers' offense was blocked, the Nuggets also quickly overtook the score.

Is 6 points a lot? There are not many in the NBA, but not all teams can easily surpass them.

It just so happens that the Nuggets are one of those teams with a strong offense.

The Pacers no longer insist on a small lineup and replaced them with double insiders. However, the fourth position can still shoot three-pointers. Jokic, a weak link in outside defense, cannot give up.

But this adjustment did not work as expected. Paul George was not so easy to play against Gallinari, and it was not so easy for Solomon Hill to play Jokic.

Turner was pretty good, but that was after Xiang Chu went down to rest.

When Xiang Chu was around, Turner was like a younger brother, unable to attack and defend.

Of course, young people don't need to be too discouraged. Most of the insiders in the league now face Xiang Chu like this, which makes people feel very sympathetic.

Xiang Chu said that this is still not enough. Now the players are all thinking about omnipotence, but the most important thing is not doing their best. Invincible is really lonely.

The Nuggets regained the lead in the third quarter, but the advantage was not big enough, and the opponent still had a chance.

But at the beginning of the last quarter, Jeremy Lin and Gary Harris made consecutive hits, especially Gary Harris. This young man attacked very decisively when he felt good.

Maybe they can also have a double gun in the backcourt during the rotation period, Xiang Chu thought below.

The teammates are strong, and Xiang Chu can rest for a while. In fact, Turner of the Pacers also played very well at this time, and the Nuggets were not able to open the score.

But this is enough, the current Pacers simply can't stop the twin towers on the offensive end.

After Xiang Chu played again, he was completely reaping the game.

The Pacers are really unstoppable, they can only rely on the singles ability of Paul George and Monta Ellis, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

However, no, both of them have mediocre efficiency in the last quarter.

The Nuggets have a stable output, gradually expanding their lead to double digits and reaping the game.

As a result, the league's regular season winning streak list has been updated again.

Pacers coach Vogel was very depressed after the game. They had a chance, "Look at the data sheet, you can say that we are not that bad on the defensive end, but there are many performances that caused us to lose."

"We don't take pride in one defense, we don't defend, we don't beat anybody."
