Chapter 476 Price
The Spurs' bench lineup is better so they can compete with the Nuggets.
In fact, although the Spurs' main lineup also performed well, their performance was not as good as the Nuggets Twin Towers.
Jokic was surprisingly good against Aldridge, not only can pass the ball, but he also showed scoring ability.
Aldridge was restricted. Although it may be related to the opponent's state, this is the first time that the Nuggets have faced Aldridge.
The Spurs sent Splitter away in order to sign Alder, and now there is no inside line on the bench that is suitable for fighting against the Nuggets twin towers.
However, in the first half, the Spurs still carried on abruptly, mainly relying on their offensive power from the outside.
Duncan's defense is also not bad, especially in assist defense, he still has experience, but he is not very good against the Nuggets.
During the intermission, both sides were seriously summing up the gains and losses of the first half.
The difference is that there is no way to solve the problem inside the Spurs, they can only find ways to alleviate it.
As for the Nuggets, there were still some problems with the cooperation of the two towers in the first half. It was the first time that they had cooperated for so long in an official game, and the whole team served this combination.
The main reason is that Jokic didn't adapt very well, and an assistant coach in the locker room explained the situation to him.
The basketball IQ of the well-coordinated players is good, and Jokic is the same. He quickly recognized some problems and was sure to do better in the second half.
In the third quarter, the Spurs still focused on Parker and Leonard, but did not give up on Aldridge.
It's just that Aldridge's singles is really not very efficient, and he is not the type who must play singles. He pays more attention to the team. This is the key to Aldridge's ability to quickly integrate into the Spurs.
Compared with the first half, the Spurs were much jerky on the offensive end.
The Nuggets' targeted defense worked, but the opponent also did a good job.
The Spurs knew that there would not be much gain from Xiang Chu, so they focused on Jokic.
Jokic will be flanked as soon as he takes the ball in a high position. If he doesn't play the ball immediately, he may make a mistake.
In this case, it is difficult to pass the ball to Xiang Chu's hands smoothly, and there were several mistakes at the beginning.
George Karl requested a timeout in time, and the Nuggets also changed their style of play. They played with Jokic as the axis, and Xiang Chu became a pure end point. If he couldn't get the ball, he would find a way to grab the offensive rebound .
With Xiang Chu's simpler style of play, the Nuggets reduced their turnovers.
If Jokic doesn't think about tactics, he can better play his characteristics.
Can pass the ball, can attack, and Xiang Chu is behind him to support him in other aspects.
The effect is certainly not as good as in the first half. After all, Xiang Chu is the only player in the league, and the tactics with him as the core are the most efficient.
But now the team can't play a more tacit cooperation. This kind of Xiang Chu's ability to break away from tactics also makes the Spurs very headache.
They seem to have an advantage, and the team cooperates more tacitly, but the score just can't be opened.
"This is too exaggerated. He doesn't need tactical support at all. There is really a human body that can train to this level."
"The real monster, there are always some people who can get God's favor, but talent alone is not enough. Basketball is not that simple."
The Spurs' bench whispered, and they were also shocked by Xiang Chu.
Not enough, they are still lucky, thinking that the team can beat the opponent.
You know, the Nuggets are playing back-to-back away games, and the lineup looks relatively unfamiliar during the running-in period.
In the third quarter, both sides still have nothing to do with each other.
However, Duncan on the Spurs side can no longer keep up physically, and Diaw has a relatively big flaw in defense.
In the second half, Mills lost the touch he had before, and the Spurs' rotation was not very strong. Because of Ginobili's truce, the Nuggets' defense could try to lock Mills.
The aging lineup is not only a problem of combat power, but also injuries. Whether the Spurs can rely on Aldridge to return to the ranks of the top teams in the West is still uncertain.
The rotation lineup is not playing well, and the two teams are not in a hurry. The game will soon enter the decisive moment.
In fact, it is the Spurs who want the main force to rest longer, although it is the Nuggets who play back to back.
It is good to be young and strong, so the Nuggets took the lead in replacing Xiang Chu.
The Spurs first replaced Duncan as a meat shield, and they wanted Aldridge to rest for a while.
Although Adelaide's previous performance was not amazing, the Spurs still believe in his performance at critical moments.
However, it is obvious that the Spurs overestimated themselves by only playing Duncan. Now Duncan is squeezed by Xiang Chu and can't even get rebounds, let alone scoring things.
After Xiang Chu scored 4 points in a row, the Spurs chose to pause, and then replaced all the main players.
At the beginning of the last quarter, the Spurs led, but now it has been replaced by the Nuggets.
After the game started again, Leonard went in with the ball and Gallinari was directly passed.
Facing Xiang Chu, Leonard rushed over with a facial expression.
The other party wanted to buckle, Xiang Chu smiled slightly, and almost pushed Leonard over with a big hat.
Leonard's physical skills are good, but the explosive victory is too obvious, and Xiang Chu is almost on the sidelines.
"In the eighth cap, Xiang Chu might hit a triple-double today."
Xiang Chucai noticed that he had already achieved a triple-double when the commentator's exclamation sounded.
At the beginning of the inside duel, Xiang Chu gave the opponent a few big blocks, and he created a new high in blocks this time.
The audience watching the live broadcast was also very excited. The Nuggets vs. Spurs is also a strong matchup in the league, and many people are paying attention.
"The Overlord is getting stronger, I can feel it."
"It's just a matter of feeling. We all just look at it directly. Overlord is improving every year. It's really scary."
"The Spurs can't bear it anymore. The Spurs have given up too many excellent role players. The small ball market just can't bear the money."
"The Nuggets are also reluctant to spend money. The difference is that the GDP is old, and Xiang Chu is still in full swing."
The Spurs' main lineup is not strong for three-pointers, so they plan to use Leonard and Aldridge hard.
But Leonard only hit one goal, and then he got a big cap from Xiang Chujokic.
The Nuggets Twin Towers completely blocked the three-second zone, and it was hard for them to kill each other inside.
But they can't defend against the Nuggets with a small lineup, so there's nothing they can do.
The ball was handed over to Aldridge, and Aldridge turned around and moved sideways, pulled up and shot. With his height and backward lean, almost no one can stop him.
But almost, not absolutely, Xiang Chu's defense arrived in time, and it was a big hat.
In the ninth cap, if the Spurs still play like this, Xiang Chu's triple-double is not a dream.
But the Spurs also went all out at this time, and continued to hand over Aldridge to shoot in the low post. This is the price to pay for erecting a new core.
