The strongest basket king

Chapter 542 Distinguish primary and secondary
Crawford is a good sixth man. He is not a superstar. Once he is amazing, it is already the limit.

The Clippers still encountered the problem of weak offense in overtime. After Crawford failed to turn the tide, the Nuggets won the game steadily.

39 points, 23 rebounds and 7 blocks. Looking at Xiang Chu's data, you can see why the Clippers have taken the lead in this game and why they haven't won yet. The Nuggets are as high as they are.

After the Clippers, the Nuggets will go to Denver, because there will be back-to-back games against the Mavericks the next day.

The Mavericks have also been suffering from minor injuries during this period. They lost a few games and dropped to tenth in the Western Conference. However, the gap between sixth and tenth in the Western Conference is not big, and they still have hope.

Mavericks this Deron and Parsons are truce, but they still have to desperately.

In order to deal with the Nuggets, they changed the lineup, Pachulia replaced the starter, and the inside became the second-year Dwight Powell who can pull out and shoot.

The Mavericks are also a gamble, and if they can't defend the inside line, they just attack directly.

Many teams have already proved that this trick is useless for the Nuggets, but there will always be teams that are lucky. Everyone is trying to win, and there is no way.

If there is a big center who can fight against Xiang Chu, the Mavericks will definitely not make such a bad move.

The Mavericks have absorbed the experience of the Clippers this time, and let Nowitzki play singles without coming up, but play team basketball, and the ball is constantly passing on the outside to find opportunities.

The Mavericks also played well at the start. In fact, many role players in the league are also good, but they are not as efficient as the stars, so they don't have so many opportunities.

Give them a chance, and some will grab it, at least a lot of them can shoot well when they're physically active.

Of course, the Mavericks' team offense is not as sharp as the Clippers before. It is abnormal for the Clippers to explode. The Mavericks are relatively normal. The offensive end can only keep up with the Nuggets' rhythm.

The Mavericks' interior defense is worse, and it is not bad to be able to keep up with the Nuggets' offensive rhythm.

Of course, they let the physical Nowitzki singles can also reap this effect.

Now they are playing team offense, I am afraid they want to see the effect, so that Nowitzki can save his energy and have a chance to reap the game.

Nurkic rested back to back, and the Nuggets' bench lineup was a little tight.

Although there are many players they can use, they are basically outside players, and there are no big men who can help defend inside.

The Mavericks' bench lineup came up quickly, and Barea and Harris, two old opponents, played very well.

Especially Barea, this little guy is very good at seizing opportunities, and he will play well against the previous teams almost every time. In fact, the Nuggets' defense has also noticed him. It can only be said that this buddy is really good.

The Mavericks overtook the score during the rotation period, and their goal was achieved.

However, the Mavericks are a little weak on the offensive end. If the Clippers are a little weak offensively, the Mavericks are even more so. In many cases, Nowitzki, a veteran singles, is needed to explain the problem.

It's a pity that Nowitzki was suddenly asked to play a single in the second quarter, and Nowitzki didn't feel like it.

He is no longer the Nuo Tianwang who can score as soon as he gets the ball in his hand at his peak. When his touch is almost adjusted, the first half time is up.

The Nuggets once again took the lead, and their offensive stability is unmatched by the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' weak inside defense gave the Nuggets enough confidence.

In the first half, the gap between the two teams was actually not that big. The Nuggets only led the opponent by 4 points. Of course, the Mavericks had foul troubles from the main force to the substitute.

Nowitzki did not, but the current Nuo Tian Wang can only be regarded as a mascot on the defensive end. It is completely impossible for him to top Xiang Chu, after all, he is not the same type as Old Stone Buddha.

The Mavericks let Nowitzki play singles at the beginning of the third quarter, but they didn't expect Nowitzki to be really useless in this game.

In the middle of the game, Carlisle asked the team to change to team play, but it still didn't work.

The Nuggets took the opportunity to expand their lead. Seeing that the Mavericks were about to collapse, they replaced the starting rookie Justin Anderson to stabilize the situation.

This is also what the Nuggets did not expect. This buddy's previous performance was soy sauce.

Then the Mavericks put on Barea and finally stabilized.

The Nuggets' lead has already reached double digits, and now they have chased them to single digits.

However, their inside defense has collapsed. Fortunately, Pachulia is a substitute and can be used as a human shield when replaced.

For the Mavericks' bench, Barea still performed well in the second half, and he was still following the main lineup.

For the Nuggets, Josh Richardson played well again. Xiang Chu has not yet played, and the Nuggets' lead has returned to double digits.

Josh Richardson is really a surprise during this period. This young man feels stable, able to defend and shoot. He thought he would have to practice for a year, but now it seems that he can use it boldly.

The situation was critical, and the Mavericks couldn't sit still after playing for more than a minute in the final quarter.

They once again used the strongest offensive lineup. Powell, who had been fouled four times, played again and hit two shots. But when the main force of the Nuggets came on the field, the Mavericks' offensive stopped again.

The Mavericks are not tall enough on the field, not only Xiang Chu, but also Middleton.

After Middleton and Gary Harris both hit three-pointers from the outside, the Mavericks collapsed a bit.

In the last 2 minutes, the score gap between the two sides was still so large that the Mavericks were almost throwing three-pointers indiscriminately.

Except for one of Barea's throws, everyone else hit the iron, and the victory of the game was also won by the Nuggets.

In the end, this game is also the epitome of the strength of the western team. The gap between the Mavericks, a marginal player in the playoffs, and the top western teams is too great.

After the game, the reporter asked Xiang Chu what he thought of the Bulls' record of 72 wins, but Xiang Chu had no opinion.

Now it seems that both the Nuggets and the Warriors have a chance to break this record.

But in the last few games, the teams will adjust for the playoffs, and they will encounter teams that are desperately trying to rank in the playoffs. To be honest, it is difficult to achieve, and Xiang Chu does not want the team to spend time on this.

"To be honest, we have achieved similar glory this season, maybe the regular season win record is better, but we still prefer the championship, 72 wins or what is not our goal."

What the Nuggets need has already been emphasized countless times. It would be good if the regular season is successful, but they will not spend more energy. You must know that they will definitely accompany Gallinari to adapt to the state in the last few games.

The Warriors may need to be stronger, but they are also more difficult. Breaking records is not easy. Other teams in the league are not willing to play supporting roles, even for teams that have no chance of playing in the playoffs.

The Nuggets are now going to wrap up March, which is also the last back-to-back away game of the season.
