The strongest basket king

Chapter 549 Combat strength is not victory
The third game between the Nuggets and the Grizzlies will be played at the FedEx Arena, the home of the Grizzlies. This is also the best chance for the Grizzlies to win the next game.

In the first away game of the playoffs, many teams cannot adapt quickly, and the Nuggets will definitely be affected.

The Grizzlies also adjusted the main lineup again, putting Tony Allen on the starting lineup.

They are now gathering good teams together and trying hard once.

The Grizzlies had a completely different start this time. The offensive tactics were changed. Randolph didn't play more aggressively, but more often served as a target to attract the Nuggets' defensive attention and create opportunities for his teammates.

To be honest, the Grizzlies' offense is very organized this time, but the hit rate is not too high.

It is not so easy for a team to change tactics, and team offense does not require individual abilities.

So the Nuggets gradually took the lead. Although the scene was a little different, the plot still developed towards the routine of the previous two games.

However, the Grizzlies' bench lineup is very tenacious, and Stephenson, Monford and Green all played well.

But their offense was traded for a weakened defense. In order to play out on the offensive end, the Grizzlies no longer insisted on double insiders, and sometimes even used a purely small lineup.

In this case, they must be more threatening on the offensive end, but the Nuggets also scored more points due to weak defense, in fact, the situation is still the same.

However, judging from the score in the first half, it still played a little role.

At least at the end of the first half, the Grizzlies were only behind by single digits, which was better than the previous two games.

"We are better than our opponents, but as a championship-seeking team, our attitude is also better than the opponent's. This is my experience in winning consecutive championships." Xiang Chu said to everyone.

In the playoffs, you must not develop the habit of playing casually. Bad habits will kill you at critical moments.

Xiang Chu is stronger than the previous two seasons, but the team still has weak links. To succeed in three consecutive championships, it must be the best.

They were lucky in the first round, but it will be harder to play later.

The whole world is watching them, and their opponents have studied and analyzed them a lot.

This season, their lineup changes and play style have made many teams adapt for a long time, but their opponents in the playoffs must know their weaknesses.

That is to say, the Grizzlies are too weak, otherwise the Nuggets would not be so easy now.

If you can't do your best in the face of the Grizzlies, the opponents behind will make them suffer.

In the third quarter, the Grizzlies launched a fierce attack, and Randolph, who had no singles before, made another shot.

This is the offense that the Grizzlies are most used to and with the greatest certainty. Jokic, this is indeed the first time he has touched the playoffs, and the Grizzlies are not wrong to do so.

Moreover, Barnes and Carter also played their respective advantages in this quarter.

As veterans, they also understand that this is their last chance and they must cooperate with Randolph.

With Xiang Chu present, the Nuggets reacted quickly. Xiang Chu directly commanded the field and gradually stabilized the situation by relying on the advantage of the inside line, preventing the opponent from catching up with the score.

"I was taken aback, but if you have a bully, you are stable. The rest of the Nuggets should hold their thighs."

"The Grizzlies are still not good. The gap between the teams in the West this season is too big."

"The real test is in the back. It is not easy to break through in the west. The Cavaliers are still comfortable."

"Hmph, in front of the Overlord, other teams are like chickens and dogs, and the dynasty and hegemony are nothing."

The game process was relatively easy, and many fans also communicated freely on the Internet.

This is the way of watching football now. The Internet has brought fans all over the world closer.

There are often big battles, but this timely communication is more important.

But on the court, Xiang Chu focused all his attention on the game. Under his command, the Nuggets played better and better, and the Grizzlies couldn't hold on anymore.

Sure enough, a group of old guys from the Grizzlies went all out in the third quarter and then there was a problem with their physical strength in the final quarter.

The Nuggets remained steady and soon gained a double-digit lead.

After the Grizzlies barely missed a three-pointer from outside, the game also ended with the Nuggets winning the match point.

After the game, George Karl also gave the opponent face, saying: "I want to give them a lot of praise. They played with goals and showed their pride and mentality in 48 minutes. I think their The game plan was great and they were even better than before in terms of effort, so I thought it was a good game."

Of course, praising Xiang Chu is more essential. George Karl triumphantly told reporters: "His performance today is incredible. Although I am used to it, I still feel the need to speak out. He made us change from a good team to Became a great team."

Jogel said, "I think our players did their best, but the victory slipped away from us at the end. However, I am really proud of the team's efforts and performance throughout the game."

It looks like it is affirming the efforts of the Grizzlies players, but everyone knows the meaning of the expression, the Grizzlies have no chance at all.

In the third game between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers, the Blazers pulled back a game.

The two sides fell into a defensive battle, and neither scored more than 20 points.

The two sides were deadlocked until the last quarter. In the minutes of deciding the outcome, the Blazers' double guns Lillard and McCrum performed better than the Spurs players.

Leonard and Aldridge actually performed at the last moment. It can only be said that the Blazers have a touch.

In the East, the Raptors beat the Pacers again, leading the series 2:1.

Compared with the Raptors, the Pacers rely too much on Paul George on the offensive end.

If Paul George didn't perform super well, the Pacers would not be able to handle the offensive end. They don't have a strong enough second point, which is why the Pacers' record in the regular season is not good enough.

After the Raptors changed their formation and achieved two consecutive victories, the next step is to see how the Pacers respond.

The Cavaliers are the second team to get the match point after the Nuggets. The Pistons have really tried their best. Their lineup is really inferior. The Pistons have a weak All-Star and two quasi-All-Stars. The Cavaliers have three All-Stars. , one of which is the top presence in the league.

The Pistons are also fighting hard in this game. The gap between the Cavaliers and the Cavaliers is only a little bit in each quarter, but the combination is a loss. .

In the game between the Warriors in the West and the Mavericks, the Warriors unexpectedly lost a game and failed to get the match point.

Weak teams are fighting hard at home, and the Mavericks are a successful example.

Their undrafted pick, Major, unexpectedly played well, and the inside is a relatively weak link for the Warriors. The Mavericks finally narrowly beat their opponents by fighting inside, rebounding and defending.

The performance of the Warriors in the regular season completely crushed the Mavericks, and they did not expect to overturn. This also tells all the teams in the playoffs that the strength of the team is not equal to the final victory. To have the last laugh, you must put in your best efforts.
