The strongest basket king

Chapter 527 Continue to Victory
Kobe hugged each player, and the fans chanted Kobe's name.

Although Kobe will definitely not get the MVP in this game, he is more beautiful than the MVP now.

Many players also lamented that if they can get this kind of treatment at the end of their careers, their careers will be perfect.

And Xiang Chu understands that Kobe definitely hopes to leave with victories and championships, but the strength of the Lakers does not allow it, so Kobe can only settle for the next best thing.

The West won the game without any suspense. This time Xiang Chu did not deliberately pursue the MVP, but his strength did not allow it. His 30+20 data is very conspicuous, so he won the All-Star MVP award again and again.

With two days left after the All-Star Weekend, Xiang Chu and his family spent another day in Toronto.

After the regular season started again, the Nuggets suddenly became No. [-] in the Western Conference.

Unhappy that Lillard, who was not selected as an All-Star, showed his power, scored 51 points and led the team to beat the Warriors, directly dragging the Warriors from the No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

Xiang Chu, who got the news before the game, said with a smile: "The Blazers are good. If they continue to maintain, they will definitely have a chance to enter the playoffs."

The Blazers are now one of the fringe teams in the Western Conference playoffs. They lost four generals this season, and they still have a chance to enter the playoffs without doing badly, which is really admirable.

Of course, admiration is one aspect. If they really enter the playoffs, they will definitely be one of the opponents that other teams want to face.

The Nuggets' first game after the All-Star Game is an away game against the Kings. The Kings' current results are not good, but this game still attracts more attention, because the Nuggets' winning streak continues.

The King's operation in the summer was not bad, introducing Rondo and grabbing a few practical players, such as Belinelli.

But their record is not much better because the Kings have no shortage of offensive firepower, Cousins ​​​​continues to improve, and Gay is also the best among the quasi-All-Stars, but their defense is really bad to a certain extent.

Cousins ​​actually has defensive capital, but really has no defensive awareness.

Looking at the players' personal abilities, their defense shouldn't be so bad, it's the reason why they don't pay attention.

If the Nuggets' defense is as bad as the king's, Xiang Chu will definitely go crazy.

For a team, good core players are very important, even more important than the coach. Cousins ​​is obviously not a qualified leader.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams fought against each other. Rondo and Gay played well on the King's side, and so did Cousins.

Rondo's passing ability is very good, which is why he can become an All-Star several times even if he is not strong in scoring. With his presence, Cousins ​​​​also has the opportunity to score in front of Xiang Chu.

Of course, the most fundamental thing is that Cousins ​​​​has evolved to the All-Star level on the offensive end.

The Kings started off well, but the Nuggets also played well. Xiang Chu and Gallinari can be said to be twin stars shining, and Middleton is not far behind. The Kings' defensive habits are indeed very bad.

However, Cousins ​​wanted to take Xiang Chu by force, and he was blocked. The few shots Cousins ​​hit were all shots from outside after the pick-and-roll.

Cousins ​​has good strength and weight, but he is also a representative of new technical insiders. If he wants to win or lose at the basket, he is far behind Xiang Chuzhen.

The substitutes on both sides also performed well. The Kings Collison was already well adapted to the position of the sixth man, and their No. [-] pick inside player Stein also performed well.

The Kings also signed Koufos in the summer and got some big men hoping to achieve success in the West, but the reality is that it is not that easy.

For the Nuggets, a veteran like David West has a lot of energy after a few days of rest, and Dudley also played very well. The offense of the two teams has not changed because of entering the rotation time.

Judging by the opponent's game posture, they still plan to charge now. After all, they also have a chance to enter the playoffs in theory, but if they don't get the desired results after a few games, they may give up.

This is also the common idea of ​​players with poor grades but a few hopeful players. After another month, teams with no hope for the playoffs will focus all their energy on training new players.

In the second quarter, the king's trio, Rondo, Gay and Cousins ​​still feel so good that there is nothing to say.

It doesn't matter if Gay hits a three-pointer, but Cousins ​​and Rondo also hit it, which shows that the situation is not very good.

Xiang Chu also felt that he had to change his strategy. Even if Cousins ​​pulled out after the pick-and-roll, he couldn't let him shoot.

Of course, he didn't change the defense alone, because he followed Rondo and rushed in for a layup. They must be defending the pick-and-roll substitution. Xiang Chu's defense against Rondo is actually no problem at all.

Because of the opponent's outburst, the Nuggets have also become a backward party.

They didn't actually think about continuing to update the winning streak, but they wouldn't just lose casually.

During the intermission, the Nuggets changed their defensive strategy.

In fact, Cousins ​​​​forget it. Rondo's three-point accuracy is the key. The Nuggets, a guard with poor shooting like Rondo, originally only defended him from breakthroughs and passes, but now they also have to defend against three-pointers.

The king's style of play will be inward, so Xiang Chu will still not go out, but if Cousins ​​goes to the three-point line, the Nuggets will immediately have players to defend him.

In the past few years, the Nuggets have been led by Xiang Chu on the offensive end, and the team's defense is the real progress.

Not to mention the league's top level, the Nuggets' current team defense must be above average. It is difficult for opponents without super scorers to break through their blockade.

After the targeted defense was strengthened in the third quarter, the King's offense came down.

The Kings are good on the offensive end, but they are not the kind that are particularly strong in three-pointers. They broke out in the first half.

Among their offensive points, Gay is the one with strong shooting ability, but Gay's characteristic is that his efficiency is not high, otherwise he would be an All-Star player.

After being unable to steal chickens from the outside, Cousins ​​once again felt Xiang Chu's dominance.

This buddy got a few slaps on the head and two big hats, and then he was completely honest.

Of course, this has something to do with his singles level. Cousins ​​just started and squeezed in. It would be strange if he didn't squeeze or get capped. The weak center level in the league really misled him.

Every time he fights with Xiang Chu, it will wake him up again, and now he can bully the weak.

After the Kings couldn't play an efficient offense, they returned to the underdogs, and the Nuggets also overtook the score.

It's not just the main lineup that the Kings are starting to strike, but their bench lineup as well.

The situation in the first half made them obsessed with the three-pointer, but the result was that the iron sound continued.

In the end, only Rondo stood up and scored. Compared with others, Rondo's experience and rhythm are really good.

But Rondo wasn't a scorer, so the Kings withered.

At 1 minute and 46 seconds, Xiang Chu hit 2+1, and the Nuggets' lead came to double digits, and they won the away game.
