The strongest basket king

Chapter 559
In the East, the battle between the Raptors and the Heat is in full swing.

In their sixth game, even though Lowry and DeRozan both went crazy, the Heat still won the home game.

Anything can happen in the game. In this game, the Raptors' role players who have always performed well did not perform well. On the Heat's side, Dragic played well and scored 30 points.

Dragic showed his power in front to help the Heat establish an advantage. In the crucial fourth quarter, Wade scored consecutively to help the team stabilize the victory. The Heat seemed to have found their magic weapon to win.

The tiebreaker of the second round of the playoffs still appeared on the Eastern battlefield.

In the West, this situation did not happen. Curry's comeback Cavaliers are stronger than the Spurs.

Speaking of it, it's just a hair's breadth, and the Nuggets have won the Thunder several times by a narrow margin.

With Curry's stable output, Draymond Green can focus more on defense, and Aldridge scored a lot less this time.

In other words, Aldridge himself didn't feel good in this game, and his fourth position is also a bit uncomfortable.

In fact, Duncan also scored some points desperately this time. Unfortunately, Curry and Clay are really strong. They are not ordinary backcourt double guns, and they are not just pitchers. Their combination is a super mode.

The tie-break between the Raptors and the Heat also attracted a lot of attention. At this time, it is a good opportunity for stars to increase their fans. Stars with key performances in key games will leave a deep impression on people.

According to their previous battles, everyone thought this would be a battle between dragons and tigers.

However, no, the Raptors played a crushing performance, Lowry and DeRozan continued to perform super, and the Raptors' starting five scored in double figures.

This time Wade was really locked up, and he had no chance to play at the critical moment.

Wade is no longer at his peak, and the current Heat really don't have enough strong stars.

If the Raptors had played more stably, the game between them would not have been a tie-break.

The semifinals on both sides are all over, and the decisive victory in the West is also the first to start.

Xiang Chu said in an interview before the game: "This is not the first time we have met in the playoffs. Maybe they have become stronger this season, but we will be the winners."

Whether it's the record in the regular season or the games between the two sides, it can be said that Xiang Chu's words are confirmed.

Curry said before the game, "We have become stronger, we are constantly improving, and it is time to go further."

On May 5, the Western Conference finals will be played at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets and Warriors are both the strongest lineups, and they have already played against each other in the regular season.

However, everyone will definitely be different in the playoffs. Only the strongest in the West can go to the finals.

The Nuggets' defense is very clear, which is to try their best to limit the Splash Brothers.

The opponent's purpose was also clear, a human shield and a defense striker to deal with Xiang Chu.

The defense of both sides did a good job in the first quarter, and the cores on both sides did not fully explode.

However, Barnes was unexpectedly accurate on the Warriors' side, which also caused the Nuggets to temporarily fall behind.

The X factor will always be a problem in the confrontation between the strong. It is impossible for the Nuggets to let Barnes hit him consecutively, which caused a chain reaction.

The Warriors have the scariest outside line in the entire league, but when they face the Nuggets, the inside line cannot provide any help, so even if there is an accident, it will not be easy for the Warriors to start the game.

The substitutes on both sides don't have many opportunities to play. The Western Conference Finals is likely to be more intense than the Finals, so the two teams are extra cautious.

The Warriors only get enough playing time as the strong point of the rotation, Iguodala, while the Nuggets have Jeremy Lin, who can actually be said to be the starter.

However, in order to limit the Splash Brothers, the Nuggets' backcourt players will still take turns to play, but they will defend desperately when they go up, and they will not show much on the offensive end.

Warriors head coach Cole is very happy to be able to lead the Nuggets. He has gained an advantage in the away game. He feels that the team needs to fight hard.

If they can win the away game, they have a chance to win the entire series.

The Warriors have actually been a bit shadowed facing the Nuggets, and there is nothing easier to boost morale than victory.

Without a 2-minute break, Curry, who played again, exploded with all his strength at the coach's signal.

Curry does not have a strong defense, but he can be at the same level as Xiang Chu and James, which shows that he is terrifying on the offensive end, no matter how he defends, it is useless. Whenever there is a gap, he will be a fatal three-pointer.

The key is not just three-pointers, but all his organization and ball handling are top-notch.

The Nuggets had to start double-teaming early, and at this time Clay broke out.

A pure terminator, under the cover of the Warriors without the ball, the Clays went to Curry to hit the ball, and the three-pointer was missed.

Horror, Xiang Chu can feel that the Warriors have indeed evolved in the Western Conference Finals.

The previous injury did not make Curry back down, but made him stronger. The experience of leading the team alone also made Clay more decisive.

In terms of comprehensive ability, the Warriors' guard double guns may be slightly inferior to the Thunder's double guns.

But when it comes to the combined combat power and practicality in the competition, the Splash Brothers are slightly better.

The method that the Nuggets used to deal with the Thunder and Youngsters was not completely applicable to the Splash Brothers.

However, consumption is always right, it's just that there is a little more double-teaming here.

You can let go of some points against the Thunder, and the same is true against the Warriors. Although the Warriors are more dangerous, there are sometimes trade-offs in the game.

When the defensive end fails, the offensive end makes up for it.

To be honest, the Warriors' strongest lineup is their small lineup. They are not as strong as the Thunder. Perhaps they can limit Xiang Chu to a certain extent in a short period of time, but it is impossible to maintain the efficiency of the first quarter throughout the game.

Not only does the offensive end require sufficient physical strength, but the defensive end is the same.

The Warriors' two fifth positions don't control fouls that well, and Draymond Green can't defend Xiang Chu at all. Xiang Chu is different from the so-called centers who have adapted to the times in other teams in the league.

The Nuggets let the twin towers hit the inside in the second quarter. Green focused more on Xiang Chu, so Jokic was also digging in. Xiang Chu is not afraid of crowding inside, but the Warriors.

So the Warriors can only let Iguodala help defend Xiang Chu, and Green tries his best to limit Jokic.

But in this case, the Warriors will also be slightly weaker on the offensive end. In the end, the Warriors chose to attack against attack.

As far as the first half is concerned, the Warriors succeeded, and the Nuggets tried their best, but they just didn't let the opponent's advantage reach double digits, but 9 points are almost the same.

There must be a change. During the intermission, Xiang Chu had made up his mind to go all out.

The Nuggets will change the rhythm and cooperate fully, preferring to make trouble and maintain the success rate.

Whether it is fighting defense or fighting offense, the Nuggets will not back down.
