The strongest basket king

Chapter 561 Surprise
In the second game between the Nuggets and the Warriors, everyone played very fiercely in the first half, and there was no winner.

As far as star performance is concerned, Xiang Chu is the best, but the Warriors have exploded again. Iguodala is not strong enough to attack now, but as a support, he is also a superb 3D, and he can hit some shots when he feels good.

In the third quarter, there was an unexpected situation, and it can't be said to be too unexpected, but the Nuggets didn't expect Curry to be able to go crazy under their targeted defense.

After thinking about it, other teams also thought that they had made arrangements, or that they would not be able to show their power if they flanked Xiang Chu. In fact, they did not imagine Xiang Chu's real power. Now the Nuggets have done the same thing.

Curry scored 17 points in a single quarter, which strongly helped the Warriors gain the lead.

It was a little late for Xiang Chu to show his strength in the final quarter. It was better to be behind by a few points in the first half. The chances of being opened in the third quarter were much less. Of course, if the score was opened in the final quarter, it would be hopeless.

During the rotation period, Iguodala still played well, and Speights also hit a three-pointer from the outside.

After all, the Warriors changed a little bit and started Speights to continue targeting Jokic at the fourth position.

In the final quarter, the Nuggets tried hard to chase points, but they were still a little bit short. The Warriors narrowly beat the Nuggets away to get back a victory.

Curry was once again sought after by Warriors fans, winning the Nuggets away, which is definitely an undoubted strength.

Curry's powerful scoring explosiveness is also hard to guard against.

Xiang Chu is a powerful fighter, if it is unstoppable, Curry is an assassin, killed in an instant.

After the game, George Karl was a little depressed. After all, he hadn't felt the taste of losing at home for a long time. He said: "For a few minutes, our defense against Curry was a little lax. In that area, we need to do better. Curry faced every possible defense ... Of course sometimes your defense will have a blind spot."

Xiang Chu also expressed his appreciation for Curry, "We used almost all defensive tricks against Curry, but he can still find scoring opportunities. I will definitely respond in the next game."

In fact, he also scored 40+ in this game, but if he exerted his strength earlier, the final result may be different. He still didn't pay enough attention to it. His constant victories made him think too much of himself. Losing at this time is not Bad thing, but they can't afford to lose again.

Cole said in an interview: "There are always some places where you think we can do better. No matter what we did in the second game and what adjustments we made, the essence of winning is actually that we cherish every moment more. It's the bout, which we didn't do in Game [-]."

The Nuggets' loss at home also added a lot of variables to the Western Conference Finals.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Cavaliers still crushed their opponents in Game [-].

The offense of the Cavaliers is only one aspect. The key is that their defense is very solid. The Raptors did not score 90 points in the two games, which can be said to be severely restricted.

The Raptors are completely despised now, and many fans think they have been swept away.

In fact, after each game, the fans' evaluations will be different. They praise if they play well, and scold them if they play poorly. Except for a few hardcore fans, most fans are very realistic creatures.

On May 5, the Nuggets, who had adjusted for three days, came to Golden State.

The opponent's home court must be more difficult to play, but everyone in the Nuggets is ready
The Warriors fought fiercely on the Nuggets' territory, and now it's their turn to show their determination. At the Oakland Arena, they must fight harder than the Warriors.

They want to win three consecutive championships and not fall in the civil war in the West.

The two sides started with the same tactics. The tactics are for winning the game, not for novelty. What the two teams do is to maximize their own advantages, just to see which side is more able to seize the opportunity.

As for things like opportunities, it is more likely that there will be a star's super performance to seize them.

The performances of the two teams in the first quarter were similar. The Splash Brothers scored for the Warriors, and Xiang Chu scored for the Nuggets with a few other points, but this time it was a little different.

That is, no one expected Xiang Chu to explode as soon as he came up, as if he didn't care about his physical strength at all.

It was too late for the Warriors to react and make targeted arrangements, and the Nuggets had already taken the lead.

But this is not the point. During the next rotation period, Jeremy Lin felt very good, but none of the Warriors' bench players stood up. To be honest, the Warriors relied too much on the two core three-pointers.

It's not a problem in general, but when the two of them don't feel so good, the team's offense will be troublesome.

In the second quarter, the Splash Brothers wanted to recover the score, but the shot was accidentally missed.

They were in a hurry, and Xiang Chu took the lead to disrupt the warrior's arrangement.

After Curry and Clay hit the iron consecutively, the Nuggets' lead came to double digits, and by the time of the intermission, it had reached 20+.

At this time, the Nuggets had already led by 20 rebounds.

The Warriors are a bit too proud of getting an away game. This is not just Xiang Chu's explosion, but the Nuggets showed a crushing comprehensive ability.

For example, the Twin Towers in the second quarter would make the Warriors cry, but the Warriors' use of one big, four small or even small lineups in order to chase points did not work. Instead, Jokic also played inside.

Playing a small lineup against the Nuggets is a double-edged sword, and the Warriors didn't play well.

It can be said that it was a misjudgment. Based on their experience, they felt that they had to lead the Nuggets in the first half, so that they would be too impatient.

Of course, the root cause is the touch of the Splash Brothers, which shows the difference between inside and outside lines.

The outside line may explode points, or it may hit more irons. Xiang Chu can only be steady and strong.

Whatever the reason for the problem, the Nuggets seized the opportunity.

During the intermission, Xiang Chu also expressed his attitude. The ducks with their mouths full could not fly. In the second half, they slowed down their rhythm and firmly held the victory.

Because they have a lot of advantages inside, they are not afraid to bring themselves in if they play a slow pace.

In the third quarter, the Warriors broke the boat and directly took out a small lineup, which was directly counterattack.

Therefore, the arrangement of the Nuggets during the halftime break was not realized. If the opponent played a counter attack, then the counter attack was fine. After all, the Nuggets are not a defensive team, but an offensive team.

This time Curry and Clay were not soft-handed, and they still showed their true skills outside the three-point line in the face of tight defense.

The Nuggets also continued to explode the opponent's rebounds, doing whatever they wanted inside.

The result is that neutral fans get to see their favorite point-breaking game, which is still pretty good regardless of the fact that the Nuggets are already ahead by that much.

Everyone seems to be playing very well, but the Warriors are only happy for a moment, and more often they are depressed.

This is the case for the team behind. Although they are also playing very lively, in fact, both teams score high. The score gap between the two teams has not narrowed at all, and has slightly expanded. After all, the rebounder has more opportunities to attack.
