The strongest basket king

Chapter 438 Only one fight with all your strength

Chapter 438

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Thompson didn't have a chance to make a phone call. Curry forced a three-pointer and missed. Green tried to make a shot but hit the iron.

The Warriors who were about to blow up ended hastily, but they still took the lead.

Cole looked serious, calculating the gains and losses. They still made money. The key is to keep it.

In order to let the Nuggets relax their vigilance, he let Curry and Thompson rest for a while.

In this case, the two will have plenty of physical strength until the final decisive moment.

However, he was more focused on buying time for the substitute players. He carefully studied the Nuggets' rotation and found that the Nuggets' use of Xiang Chu was often based on the threat of the opposing team.

If they brought up their strengths that quickly, the Nuggets would be on the mend.

On the contrary, the Nuggets would let Xiang Chuduo rest for a while, and Cole admitted that he was discouraged. He wanted Xiang Chuduo to rest for a while, and it was meaningless to consume Xiang Chuduo's physical strength.

However, the Warriors' bench performance was not as good as expected.

Nurkic is still a little nervous on the court, but mainly on the offensive end. He has done a good job on the defensive end and has a good defense ability. It is difficult for Iguodala with a substitute to perform well.

Kerr is also considered patient. Their bench lineup has more players who can hold the ball, and their coordination is much better than that of the Nuggets.

But after more than four minutes into the second quarter, he really couldn't wait any longer. The score did not widen, but narrowed the gap by 2 points. He could only replace the main player.

The Nuggets don't care about the Warriors' Xiao Jiujiu at all.

If the team is really in trouble, will they still watch the other side make substitutions before going to Xiang Chu?

The team is not in trouble, and it's okay to let Xiang Chuduo rest for a few minutes, and it can also paralyze the opponent by the way.

After the main force entered the field, it was Xiang Chu who scored first again.

And their tactics against Curry and Thompson still achieved good results.

Iguodala didn't take a shot at all, and Green was more confident, but he made two shots from outside the three-point line.

There may be a bit of luck, but the Nuggets' defensive strategy this time is indeed very successful.

Their small lineup didn't continue after playing for 3 minutes, and Cole honestly replaced Bogut.

But the situation was only a little better. They found that even if Bogut went out to cover Xiang Chu, he was able to follow him.

It wasn't that they couldn't get out before, but it was unnecessary. The Nuggets didn't worry about Bogut cutting in after covering.

Cole only felt sweat on his forehead. Didn't the Nuggets try their best before?

In the last few minutes of the first half, Cole was also struggling and didn't know what to do.

After the whistle blew at the end of the first half, he realized that the gap between the two sides was only 2 points.

What to do, the benefit of their small lineup is only eaten for only 1 minute.

Do you want to continue to use the regular lineup? If you think about it with your butt, you know that it is in the hands of the Nuggets.

With a regular lineup, the Nuggets will be very stable. The Warriors can't defend against rebounds and are suppressed. Even if the score is not opened for a while, they will not commit suicide slowly.

If you are betting on the hit rate, it is better to bet on a small lineup.

After entering the locker room, Cole also calmed down. Since the Nuggets are playing defense, they will have a good time.

They can take the initiative to find Xiang Chu, and go to Xiang Chu to make the Nuggets worry.

It would be a surprise if Xiang Chu could make too many fouls.

If they play a small lineup, even Green, who is on the inside, can break through, and Xiang Chu can just let whoever finds him.

If there is a chance, try to let Curry face up, so that Curry can suddenly shoot three-pointers, and see what the Nuggets do.

However, things are certainly not that simple.

At halftime, the Nuggets were also discussing the Warriors' small lineup.

This Nuggets has been discussed a lot before, because the Warriors used it a lot, that is, they didn't use it much in the first game against Shang Xiangchu, but the small lineup must be the opponent's killer.

Now no matter how long the opponent uses, the most important thing for the Nuggets to guard against is the small lineup.

With a normal lineup, the Warriors' fifth position is useless, and the Nuggets are really not worried.

"Draymond Green went inside...nice block, he didn't realize at all, he didn't get rid of Xiang Chu."

"Xiang Chu and Curry were facing each other, Curry made a gesture to rush in, Xiang Chu was unmoved at all, beautiful footsteps, Curry wobbled and then took a three-pointer step... Missed, was interfered by Xiang Chu, Xiang Chu's ability to defend perimeter players is definitely underestimated."

The Warriors quickly switched to a smaller lineup in the third quarter, but their plan didn't materialize.

Xiang Chu's single defense is better than expected, but he rarely faces Curry directly, because the Nuggets' defensive strategy is to pounce on Curry.

After he holds the ball to cover, two people will attack him, and after a delay, Xiang Chu will retreat to defend the other person.

If Curry can play the ball immediately, the Warriors may be able to get an open opportunity.

However, the Nuggets' strategy is to let others get offensive opportunities, and will not give Curry a good shot space. Treating threatening core players is a basic operation.

The Warriors also dealt with the Nuggets in the same way, and they also have limited restrictions.

However, in terms of the total number of pitchers, the Warriors are still inferior to the Nuggets, and Xiang Chu's rebounding advantage can make up for the team's lack of passing ability.

In other words, in the face of similar defensive situations, the core strength of both sides is still needed.

The Nuggets have a relatively big advantage. Xiang Chu's strength is not only on the offensive end, but Curry is lacking in this aspect.

However, in team games, some disadvantages can be covered up through tactics.

In theory, both sides are likely to win the game.

In terms of helpers, the Nuggets actually performed better this time.

Both sides tried their best to limit each other's core players, but Xiang Chu and Curry scored the most points.

The worst thing about the Warriors is the bench. When the two strong points are not there, their scoring ability is too poor.

It can't be said that the Warriors have no substitutes, but the game goes to the Western Conference Finals. Substitutes with obvious shortcomings or that do not meet the tactical requirements will not be on the bench. This is completely different from the regular season.

At the critical moment in the third quarter, Xiang Chu's inside strength kept the Nuggets in the lead.

Although the lead is not much, it is impossible to turn the score over if the Warriors can't explode.

Cole also thought of a lot of ways. Bogut came up intermittently, but soon fouled four times.

The Warriors want to play a game of high confrontation in a short period of time, but it is a pity that Bogut's current physical condition is completely uncertain, and it is easy to foul if the confrontation is stronger.

At the end of the third quarter, Curry missed a three-pointer against the defense, and the Nuggets entered the final quarter with a 4-point advantage.

If it's the regular season, let alone 4 points, even the 14-point Warriors don't pay attention.

But facing the Nuggets, not leading is pressure.

They have no other choice but to fight with all their strength, life and death will depend on fate and wealth.
