The strongest basket king

Chapter 563 For Victory
In the Warriors' locker room, the team doctor is asking about the situation beside Curry. His body is not at the most comfortable time.

But that's what it's like to be a professional athlete, battling injuries and then playing at a high level.

Even Xiang Chu, who was cheating, was not without injuries at all, some inflammation and muscle damage were unavoidable.

The difference between the inside line and the outside line is that the inside line usually affects the explosive power, and the outside line is the touch.

In the third quarter, Curry still felt a little bad, either because his body couldn't keep up, or because he was uncoordinated.

In the fierce confrontation, many shots are just a little bit worse.

Just when the Nuggets were trying to further open the score, Clay suddenly broke out.

There is always no warning for Clay's outbreak. Maybe he is still hitting the iron in front, and suddenly he can advance against the defense, and once he advances, it will be a series.

Compared with Curry, Clay is more like a burst player on the offensive end.

Both sides know the characteristics of this player. The Nuggets began to defend in a targeted manner, and the Warriors were also creating shooting opportunities for Clay.

In this quarter, because of Clay's explosion, the Warriors chased a little bit, and the Nuggets' plan also came to nothing, but their previous lead is still there, and they still have an advantage in the score.

The point is that Clay fouled for the fourth time, and because of the foul, his outburst could not continue.

After all, the Nuggets are not a defensive team. Gallinari, Middleton and even Jeremy Lin can cause damage on the outside. The Warriors want to chase points, not just offense.

Therefore, even if Cole wanted to fuck the core, he still had to rotate because of necessity.

But the Warriors' rotation is really bad, and they can pretend to compete against a weak team, but they can't compare to the previous Thunder when they encounter a strong team like the Nuggets.

It is difficult for their sixth man to lead the team alone, and now it becomes an Achilles' heel when they need to chase points.

The Warriors could only quickly replace the strongest lineup again, but what they didn't expect was that just such an interruption, Clay's super touch was gone.

At the same time, Middleton hit three goals in a row, and the gap between the two teams widened again.

Clay's touch has declined, but the Nuggets will not be confused, and the Splash Brothers are still their key targets.

The focus of the Nuggets is not to play games. When the star is in good condition, he can hit the defense, but it is not so easy under normal circumstances.

It is not easy to stare at the two, and the rest of the Warriors will have a chance to make a move.

However, neither Green nor Iguodala is allowed in this game. As for Barnes, this buddy does not have the confidence to make a move.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Warriors hadn't found a chance to chase points, and the players on the court were a little discouraged.

In the last 3 minutes, Cole on the sidelines also chose to give up. The Nuggets are too stable, and there is no point in trying hard. It is better to save energy and fight for the next game.

Cole has also followed Popovich, which is somewhat similar to Popovich in this respect, and he will not do useless work.

In the end, the Nuggets beat the Warriors again and successfully won the match point.

After the game, Cole answered a reporter's question about Curry's status, "He is not injured, he is recovering from a knee injury, he just experienced a bad night, such things will happen."

"I think we competed tonight, but we didn't play very smart."

"The Nuggets are playing better than us right now, we have to deal with it, it's as simple as that."

Obviously, Cole thinks they still have a chance. Maybe he is holding on. After all, losing is not a big deal, but face is a big deal.

In the East, the Cavaliers lost another game.

The Raptors once again limited Love, but that's not the point, what matters is that they played offense.

Lowry and DeRozan scored 67 points together, showing true All-Star strength.

There is no doubt that there is a problem with the defense that the Cavaliers are proud of, and the performance of the Raptors also made the fans forget the previous evaluation of them, and the suspense of this series has also greatly increased.

Now there are only two groups of games left, and a few teams are receiving a lot of attention.

If you have a bad mentality, you will be easily influenced by the outside world. A ruthless character like Xiang Chu doesn't pay much attention to outside comments now, and the team has the same requirements for other players.

When it came time to return to Denver to play the game, Olivia was very happy and could broadcast it live.

The G5 game also came on time. In fact, the two teams have studied each other for a season and played a few more games. It can be said that they are very familiar with each other.

The play style of the two teams requires the core to play, and there is not much room for adjustment.

Sometimes the victory or defeat depends on whether the stars over there can explode more, and everyone knows it well.

So the opening is still the same routine, already the fifth time.

Curry and Clay's shooting percentages are not high, but they are fine in the case of strict defense.

What the Warriors did well this time was their defense against Xiang Chu. They really went all out and gave up their small lineup, determined to limit Xiang Chu's efficiency.

They did it very thoroughly, and as for the outside opportunities, they had a lot more opportunities than before.

It may be a little different from what was expected, the Nuggets' outside line did not immediately seize the opportunity.

So the contest in the first quarter didn't look like a fight between gods, it felt like chickens pecking at each other, and the scores were not very neat.

It's just that even if the Warriors always maintain a meat shield inside and Bogut tries to avoid foul trouble, it is still difficult to completely solve the problem of rebounding. They can't grab Xiang Chu and Jokic no matter what.

In this case, the Warriors are still at a disadvantage, and they must maintain a higher shooting percentage from the outside.

The difference from before is that there may not be more continuous outbreaks.

This kind of war warrior who is more inclined to defense is also awkward, but they are already standing on the edge of the cliff. No matter whether the current strategy can be used twice, they have to win one game first.

In the first quarter, when both sides were a little out of rhythm, the score was evenly matched.

It's just that the Warriors' bench lineup can't do so well, and it's useless for them to slow down the pace, so the strategy adopted by the Warriors is to use the main force and do it directly.

I don't mind playing against the Nuggets this way. In fact, they have more experience fighting defense.

Now it depends on who will break out first, or which side will be unable to withstand it first and reveal more flaws.

The duel with limited defense can also be said to be exhausting. The Warriors are indeed playing with fire and forced by the Nuggets.

But if they have a chance to win a round and return to the home court, the result may be different.

Of course the Nuggets didn't want to give them a chance, Xiang Chu just played on the court anyway.

And when Jokic went down, Xiang Chu also played with Nurkic to maintain the rebounding advantage on the court at any time. He is too scary in the low post, and many people may have overlooked it. Very powerful.

The Warriors took the initiative to seek change, and naturally there would be no problems in the first half. They may not know how much the consumption is. The victory will definitely be determined in the second half. Both sides are ready.
