The strongest basket king

Chapter 562

The Warriors' desperate play in the third quarter did not yield results, and there was no resistance in the fourth quarter. In the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets also experienced the joy of clocking out of get off work in three quarters.

After the game, Warriors coach Cole was a little annoyed. They lost too badly.

He yelled at reporters: "Okay, we got punched and kicked. What more do you want? Calm and smart? We got pretty ugly."

He also did not admit that a small lineup is a desperate way to play, "The Nuggets are the team that played more desperately tonight. They beat us on rebounds and floor balls. In terms of competitiveness, they won Us, they were hungrier, and they won some small fights."

After calming down a bit, he also said, "I didn't let everyone prepare for this game. We are not in the state mentally and physically. We deserve this result."

"I am very confident that in G4 we will go all out and play a very good performance."

After winning the game, George Karl resumed his strategizing posture again. He said with a smile: "The players are very eager to win. They worked very hard to achieve all our previous expectations and successfully won the game."

"We're not going to be satisfied. We don't just need a road win. We need a four-game series."

Those who lose do not admit defeat, and those who win are elated, but everyone's goal is the same.

The playoffs, the championship, and fewer and fewer teams can participate, which also represent the status of the league.

The Nuggets won a big away game, but the Cavaliers who also went to the away game lost the ball, which is a bit surprising.

Because the Raptors' performance was too weak before, many fans don't think they have the ability to put pressure on the Cavaliers.

As a result, the Cavaliers in the away game were well defended, Love was sluggish, and both DeRozan and Lowry played very well, especially DeRozan, who scored 30+ again.

Biyombo, who was reused because of Valanciunas' injury, grabbed 26 rebounds and had 4 blocks, which is an important reason for the Raptors' defensive success.

Biyombo performed very well in the playoffs this time, and he seized the opportunity. It can be said that his value has risen sharply.

The Cavaliers' insider problems were also criticized by others. If a Biyombo made them deflate, even if they won the championship, they would still be beaten to death by Xiang Chu.

After breaking the Warriors in the game, the Nuggets paid more attention to the weight of the inside line in training.

Of course, they also attached great importance to it, but they usually attack more reasonably, and they will let Xiang Chu open up at the end of the quarter.

Now facing a strong enemy like the Warriors, Xiang Chu has this ability, so the strategy must be slightly changed.

The same is true for Jokic. The inside advantage still needs to be used, even Nurkic and David West on the bench. The Nuggets are determined to smash the Warriors' inside.

If they make it difficult for the Warriors, they will not be able to freely show the small lineup that they are best at.

Of course, their move is also a double-edged sword, but Xiang Chu is so strong, mutual restraint may become pure restraint.

The playoffs are, after all, a battle for stars.

Both sides are actively fighting, but the Warriors are a little more nervous.

Challenge the defending champion, the opponent still has a very unreasonable inside line, the previous small defeat was fine, it shows that it is only a matter of details, losing so many in the game is a matter of strategy, do they have to give up the small lineup, that is really courting death.

But how to take advantage of it? Cole has lost a lot of hair in the past two days.

Regardless of the preparations of all parties, on May 5, the fourth game between the Nuggets and the Warriors will start.

As the two teams with the highest winning percentage in the regular season, the two sides still have enough confidence.

They still started the same way, as if whoever changes is admitting cowardly, but this is definitely the most sure way for the two teams.

The difference is that Xiang Chu is always better than the Splash Brothers.

The Splash Brothers didn't play better at home, but felt a kind of weakness after fighting too much.

They don't feel good, and the Nuggets will not let go of the opportunity.

In fact, it's not just Xiang Chu who can keep his hit rate when he goes to the basket, Gallinari is also consciously hitting it.

The Warriors' defense against Xiang Chu is tighter this time, so the Nuggets are all fierce.

Instead of rushing in, but rolling in and shooting, Gallinari is very good at this.

Of course, with Xiang Chu and Gallinari, plus Jokic's support, the other two points just need to run open on the outside.

The Nuggets took the lead smoothly, but it was not so easy to open the score.

The Warriors quickly replaced Iguodala, which still played a certain role.

The player Iguodala can sometimes play some very good balls. He can't be the core, but he is a good choice next to super players.

However, the Warriors are always at a disadvantage, and Coach Kerr also intends to use rotations to make adjustments to calm down Curry and Clay.

As an All-Star player, it must be quick to adjust, and it only takes a little time.

But this time the Nuggets are unwilling to cooperate with each other. They won this game is the match point. Although their substitute players are not bad, they are not the ones to adjust.

George Karl didn't give the rotation players much time, but took advantage of the opponent's main attack point to launch an offensive. If the Warriors wanted to adjust them, they would take the opportunity to kill the opponent.

Kerr also has a headache. This is the playoffs or the Western Conference Finals. It is normal for the Nuggets not to give time.

The point is that Xiang Chu, who is the core of the Nuggets, has great physical strength. Now this is no secret. Seeing Xiang Chu's power during the rotation period, Cole knew he couldn't wait.

When Curry plays again, he directly turns on the crazy shooting mode, regardless of the shooting rate.

A player of his level can also adjust on the court, but he needs to play a few more irons.

Regardless of Curry's shooting percentage, he is also the Nuggets' first defensive task, but more importantly, the Nuggets' onslaught cannot be stopped.

It's already the main force, how can it not be achieved.

In the case of over a dozen rebounds from the opponent at halftime, the Nuggets' lead has steadily risen to double digits. The Warriors really can't help it. Whether they play with a small lineup or not, they suffer from rebounds.

It's just that if you go inside, you can be a meat shield. If you don't go inside, you have a chance to score points outside. I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to encounter this situation.

What's more, Xiang Chu is not something that can be handled casually with a meat shield. This is a player who comes out every few years. When you meet him, you can only say that other players are unlucky. Like Jordan, others want to win the championship and wait for him to leave.

If Xiang Chu really succeeds in three consecutive championships, he will have the taste of Jordan.

At this time, the Warriors have no other choice but to resist, and can only believe that the Splash Brothers can create miracles.

The Nuggets are also united as one, they want to win the match point, and then win the Western Conference championship.
