The strongest basket king

Chapter 350

Chapter 350

Everyone knows that a combination of stars is a shortcut to becoming a strong team, but only a big football market has the charm of attracting stars, and they are not worried about selling tickets and spending money.

The Cavaliers are an outlier. They got Irving through the draft, and then James came back, which also strengthened Love's confidence in coming over.

Their fate with James also depends on the draft, so many teams in the league are doing badly in order to rebuild. If the draft does not consider vision, doing badly is an easy way to rebuild.

The Spurs have been a strong team in the Western Conference for so many years because of the power of the draft. They are a model of success in this regard, and the Lakers have always been impatient with rookies. It is a typical operation that can only become a strong team by trading directly.

If the Nuggets were to rise before, they could only rely on picking a good rookie, but now they can't say that they succeeded by trading, because Xiang Chu was also a rookie when he came here, and they were really lucky.

If Xiang Chu became famous, they would definitely not be able to get him.

In the same way, it is almost impossible for them to get another All-Star, unless one of the rookies is cultivated.

Xiang Chu will not overestimate his recruiting ability, even James is so difficult to recruit stars in a small ball market, let alone him.

Even if his popularity is high, the league is actually a somewhat xenophobic place. As a European, Nowitzki has difficulty recruiting all-star teammates. As a Chinese, Xiang Chu will also be the same, not to mention the Chinese plus a small ball market.

Therefore, the Nuggets' team building method is destined not to come directly to the All-Stars.

It's useless for them to be envious now. They still have to find a way to kill the star combination team during the game.

During the intermission, George Karl analyzed the situation in the first half very seriously, and gave very detailed opinions on both offense and defense.

Xiang Chu also gave suggestions. The problem for the Cavaliers now is that the stars have not been fully integrated. They may break out separately, and the possibility of breaking out together is low.

In this case, the Nuggets have time to react and prepare countermeasures.

This is also the reason why they are not as threatening as the Knicks before the three-point bloom. In the second half, the Nuggets will have to make a fuss about cutting off the opponent's strong points.

In fact, as long as the Nuggets don't fall behind too much in the first half, the Nuggets can control the field well in the second half.

Xiang Chu can be said to be the most stable player in the league. After the two sides got familiar with each other in the first half, the Nuggets can deal with many situations with Xiang Chu.

This time they still lead by 1 point, the situation is much easier.

And the Nuggets are actually not afraid of back-to-back physical problems. They have enough people to play, and Xiang Chu has good physical strength. Their key is to defend well when the outside feel is not good.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers gave Irving more opportunities to hold the ball.

This is also no way, Irving's off-ball efficiency will drop a lot, so the Cavaliers are now James and Irving taking turns holding the ball, plus Waiters, the head coach is also groping.

To be honest, Irving played well with the ball in the second half.

Although the Cavaliers' Big Three didn't break out, they were still scoring steadily. Compared with the first half, the team feeling of playing in turns was much better. It would be perfect if there was no comparison with the Nuggets.

The Cavaliers' offensive efficiency has not decreased, but the Nuggets have improved.

The Big Three also have the trouble of the Big Three, that is, they can't use their strength in one place when they don't get along well.

Unlike the Nuggets, who let Xiang Chu play, the four perimeters cooperated, and the score rose steadily.

The Nuggets did not widen the score, but from the scene, they have gradually gained the advantage.

When it came to the rotation period, someone from the Nuggets stood up again, and that was Chandler.

However, Waiters on the Cavaliers side has also found a touch. Both sides have shown their strength on the offensive end, and the situation has not changed much when they are playing against the main players.

The Cavaliers are the ones who are anxious first, but they are at home, but they are the one behind.

James played first, let Irving, who had been on the court, rest for a while, and then gradually changed the lineup to a more offensive lineup, that is, James went to the fourth position.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is still relatively normal, but the lineup gets smaller towards the end.

Both Marion and Varejao were replaced, and James can be said to have gradually played from the second position to the fourth position.

Their lineup feels pretty strong, but three of them play with the ball, and together they can't play such a high efficiency.

Especially for Waiters, the ball will basically not go out when it is in his hands.

With James playing the fourth position, the Nuggets are actually not that worried.

He is more comprehensive than Anthony at the [-]th position, rebounds and defends better, and can organize offenses, but the Nuggets are not afraid of such a comprehensive player, but can hardly limit Anthony's direct shooting.

So when the two sides changed to the final lineup, the Cavaliers not only failed to catch up with the score as expected, but also missed a few three-pointers, and the Nuggets had a bigger advantage.

Entering the last 5 minutes, the Nuggets' lead came to double digits.

After the Cavaliers paused, the situation improved slightly. In fact, it was not a solution. It gave Waiters, who had a good touch, more opportunities to shoot, but definitely did not give him more time to play with the ball.

This strategy is good, and Irving does not have Waiters' top iron.

It's just a little late. Of course, the more important thing is that they can't guard against Xiang Chu at all.

Playing a small lineup in front of Xiang Chu has always been very risky. As long as you can't play an explosive offense, you can only lose. It's just that the Cavaliers don't have enough good tanks, and they can only choose to take risks in terms of score, so they Losing is also a matter of course.

James was heartbroken after the game, "Every game we should put our backs on the high wall, I think we seem to feel good after a wave of three consecutive victories, but in fact, we have never been so far this season. Never really performed well."

"The Nuggets played harder and were hungry to win, so they won."

Cavaliers head coach Blatter also said frankly: "To be honest, we didn't deal with the ball with the right mentality at all. The problem on the defensive end started before the game, which is disappointing. Every ball must go all out. If Anyone who doesn't know this, better find out now."

The Nuggets won two games in this Eastern Conference road trip, which is an acceptable result.

The point is that the outside world's accusations against the Nuggets have become accusations against the Cavaliers, and they have relaxed a lot.

Xiang Chu pretended to say: "This is a fast-paced era, but I also hope that everyone will be patient. The regular season is still very long. Teams that aim at the playoffs will consider many issues. It is very difficult to have some small troubles before that." normal."

"However, I promise you that the Nuggets will be the last team because I will be stronger."
