The strongest basket king

Chapter 544 Adjusting Status

Most of the Pelicans play now are role players, but these players work very hard.

After the Nuggets stabilized, they were looking for opportunities, but the Pelicans still played well during the rotation.

Sophomores Fraser and Ennis both played well. Both of them were players who wandered around when no team was optimistic about their rookies, and they cherished the opportunity to play.

In addition, if Nurkic does not play back-to-back, the Pelicans' substitute insider Akinsa can also perform well.

With the efforts of all the players of the Pelicans, the two sides even entered the halftime break.

So even if the team gives up, the players on the field will not give up. The Nuggets must be more cautious.

In the first half, the team's coaching staff also observed the Pelicans players more carefully. They gave suggestions during the intermission, and George Karl made adjustments based on the coaching staff's analysis.

In fact, the old method is still given. Many situations seem to be different, but the safest method is the old method. It is often used because it is useful. If the results are not good, fans will despise it. No change will be made.

The Nuggets have done well, so George Karl is now a touted coach in the league.

If you don't want to overturn, the most important thing is to prevent three-pointers. Modern basketball three-pointers are synonymous with upsets.

The Nuggets are very good at blocking three-pointers. With targeted targets, their defensive strength has improved a lot.

In the third quarter, the Pelicans' offensive efficiency dropped rapidly.

The Nuggets are still as stable as ever, so they have smoothly become the leading party.

The Pelicans have no strong players on the offensive end, and there is no unified thinking when playing.

They played well in the first half. In the third quarter, they wanted to play tactics seriously and kill the Nuggets when they had the opportunity, but the effect was very poor, mainly because there was no one in the end.

After realizing that it was not possible, the Pelicans began to throw around outside the three-point line.

This result is better, and occasionally one can be thrown.

Just facing a strong team like the Nuggets, just hitting a three-pointer occasionally is not enough.

The Nuggets quickly took the lead, and then lingered for a long time around 10 points. It was not until the main lineup played again in the final quarter that they finally established a double-digit lead.

The Pelicans simply put up a small lineup in the last few minutes, just outside shooting.

The Nuggets didn't replace the twin towers either. In the playoffs, the Nuggets will definitely face a small lineup. If a small Pelican can't solve it, let alone the championship.

They're the stronger team, so adapt others to them.

Any opponent playing a small lineup in front of them, the Nuggets will explode and explode their inside.

A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Nuggets also won their opponents, drawing a successful end to the journey in March.

The number one in the Western Conference cannot be said to be stable yet, but they are indeed the dominant side.

On the first day of April, the Warriors lost to the Celtics. Don't let the record-breaking matter fade away. More attention from the outside world is on the Nuggets.

However, the Nuggets didn't intend to work hard in the last few games. They didn't ask for more, as long as they could keep the No. [-] in the Western Conference, other aspects follow the fate.

On Xiang Chu's social media, like Olivia, she also started posting about the little guy, not caring about outside voices at all.

He has adjusted to the best form, and he is always extra excited when it comes to the playoffs.

These days, Xiang Chu will help other players on the team to adjust their status, and will also discuss playoff strategies with George Karl. He has no time to deal with the media at all.

On April 4, the king came to visit.

The Kings couldn't make it to the playoffs, and their results were not particularly bad. There is no doubt that it was a season of failure.

Now the king is also trying to train newcomers, Cousins ​​​​this truce.

Their No. [-] starter is No. [-] pick Stein, and Rondo also truces because they are back-to-back.

The opponent doesn't intend to go all out, and the Nuggets are also in a good state of mind, as long as they don't overturn.

The team's requirement for players is that they should be relaxed rather than casual. The team will try their best to pay attention to the players' playing time, but everyone must concentrate on playing after playing.

These few games are to adjust the state, but also to practice tactics, and it is absolutely impossible to mess around.

After playing well before the playoffs, the team can enter the state as soon as it enters the playoffs.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings hit the iron for a while, and the Nuggets easily took the lead.

The Kings belong to the kind with strong offensive three-pointers and poor defense. Xiang Chu bullies the rookie in the interior, and the Nuggets can easily combine the inside and outside.

On the offensive end, the Kings are the same as when Cousins ​​was there, they all pull out and shoot.

If they don't work well, it will be easy for the Nuggets to control the situation on the court.

Without Cousins, the Nuggets can be said to be very easy inside, and the Kings are not without inside, and Koufos can also top it, but the offense will be weakened a lot.

The Kings played more casually, and the Nuggets also started training, giving the main players more rest time.

The Nuggets' bench lineup is also strong, especially a few young players, Powell, Josh Richardson, and Seth Curry are particularly daring to play.

Although the defense of these three is a bit bad except for Richardson, it is also a good thing to have offensive power.

They may not be able to play in the playoffs, but it will be a good thing that they have status in case of emergency.

The Nuggets gave the substitute players a lot of time in the first half, and the two sides also went back and forth. The Nuggets led by 7 points in the first half, and Xiang Chu was very happy.

Gay played in the third quarter, but the Nuggets still had a relatively large advantage.

The king's speechless defense is still very comfortable as an opponent, and he can easily play a smooth offense.

After Xiang Chu helped the team establish a certain advantage, he returned to the bench to watch the game.

The king's offense is still really good. After Gay, Collison showed off again in the final quarter.

Also because the opponent did not give up, the Nuggets' main lineup also played again in the last few minutes.

Xiang Chu directly made Stein six fouls off the field, which can be said to have helped the Nuggets win the game very strongly.

Xiang Chu told reporters after the game: "There is no doubt that our whole team is ready for the playoffs, and you can also see that they can all contribute to the team."

"So don't ask me about the regular season. My eyes are on the playoffs. I think I can't wait."

For other players, it may be a bit of a gimmick to say this, but Xiang Chu has long been clamoring for the playoffs and three consecutive championships, and the Nuggets' record in the regular season is really good. They have slapped a lot of media in the face, and now they say It doesn't make sense that they won't defend their title successfully.

If the players don't give some information, the media can only play freely. Anyway, they can't be expected to have integrity.

I don't care if I don't give it to Xiang Chu, he has already returned home to prepare for the little guy's birthday with Olivia, and it is much more interesting to witness his son's growth.
