Chapter 315
Hearing the cheers of the fans beside him, and the beautiful faces cheering for him not far from the sidelines, Xiang Chu's fighting spirit became even more high-spirited.
Although he said that home and away games are the same, in fact, it is still a lot better at home.
The game is coming to an end, he is not interested in going to Los Angeles, Xiang Chu is ready.
The Clippers have no other way now, they just want to be able to do better in details, and win by surprise, which is basically impossible for a strong team like them.
The tactics of both sides have no solution. The Clippers focused on Griffin at the beginning, and the Nuggets let Xiang Chu play.
Basketball is a team game, but there is definitely a focus on the offensive end.
In fact, the Clippers were more efficient in the first quarter, and the Nuggets players were a little too excited.
It doesn't matter that Xiang Chu is excited when he hits the basket, but the players on the outside are too excited and their hands are not so far away.
George Karl also has a wealth of experience in this regard, but he can't sit still. On the one hand, he adjusted through substitutions, and on the other hand, he yelled on the field to get the players' attention.
Sometimes everything can be done by relying on a star, and Xiang Chu is such a star.
The Clippers are going all out to defend him now, and they are cautious. Jordan has not participated in the offense at all, and he has played 120% on the defensive end, doing his best to be a meat shield without fouling.
The Clippers may have worked hard in this regard, and when Glenn Davis came up, he also only confronted and did not foul.
In order to limit Xiang Chu, they kept two big men on top almost all the time.
In this case, their outside substitutes actually lost playing time.
The Clippers admit it, and they will rely on details to win this time, because other methods have been tried, and Crawford's bench can't save the team.
The team's mood stabilized during the rotation period, and the old Miller, who didn't play much, played a miraculous effect.
An old family is like a treasure. The old Miller didn't play much this season, and it was the same in the playoffs. However, when the team's perimeter was a little out of order, the old Miller came up very steadily and scored 4 points in a row.
This kind of calm is worthy of George Karl's trust.
The Nuggets only needed an introduction at this time. Old Miller set an example, and the situation on the outside of the team gradually became normal.
Of course, the most important thing is Xiang Chu's score.
The Clippers did a good job of defending today, but mainly in terms of reducing fouls and competing for rebounds. In fact, the control of Xiang Chu's scoring was not better than before.
The reason why they fouled before was because they couldn't prevent them. Of course, they couldn't prevent them if they didn't foul now.
Their goal is still consumption. In the first few games, the Clippers had already fouled too much on the inside and let Xiang Chu do whatever he wanted. Rivers felt that if they could have the inside to deal with Xiang Chu at the end of the game, they would have a chance to win the game.
Of course, there is no way around this. Although we have played a few games, the topic of how to restrain Xiang Chu is still not thoroughly studied.
By halftime, the Clippers had only 2 points of lead accumulated in the first quarter.
The lead obtained by relying on the opponent's outside problems is indeed unsafe.
But after all, it was still leading, and Jordan's fouls in the first half were well controlled, only three times.
Rivers encouraged the players, "We have moved in the right direction, as long as we keep going, we will usher in victory."
In the Nuggets' locker room, Xiang Chu bumped fists with his teammates, "I trust you."
Concentrating on winning the game, and then quietly waiting for the next opponent, Xiang Chu can't wait, and he will go further on the road to the playoffs.
In the third quarter, Xiang Chu continued to fire, but the Clippers were in trouble.
Xiang Chu expanded the defense range on the defensive end and gave Griffin two caps.
The Clippers have Griffin not playing well, and the Nuggets' defense is easy to do. If they have the ability to block the three-point line, they will rush in and hit the basket.
The Clippers always keep two insiders to limit Xiang Chu on the court, which means that it is much easier to block their outsiders.
If other teams dare to let the fourth position go out to block the outside line, Paul's passing will teach him how to behave.
But for the Nuggets, Xiang Chu sits under the basket, and it seems that there is an open space inside. In fact, Xiang Chu can leap up and cover the sky with his hands as long as he takes a step. Maybe he can't succeed every time, but the Clippers players already have a shadow in their hearts. .
After halfway through the third quarter, the Nuggets undoubtedly overtook the score.
Rivers is in a dilemma, whether to continue to restrict Xiang Chu or add an outside firepower.
Xiang Chu must be the key to the Nuggets, but why is he not tired?
Xiang Chu is indeed young, but it's impossible for him to have such good physical strength. The Spurs exhausted him last season, so why didn't it work when it was their turn.
The point difference is less than 10 points, and you can still give it a try.
Rivers thought he was going crazy, but he couldn't help it, if it was just a close call.
Strengthen the defensive strength in the last quarter. If Xiang Chu can be restrained, he is confident that the gap within 10 points will be less than [-] points.
Anyway, there is no other way, Crawford's touch is just average, Rivers didn't give more chances, if he wants to defeat Rejection, he must defeat Xiang Chu, that's the only way.
This event also increased playing time, and George Karl was nervous when he was not on the court. This is the trouble that the team does not have another top card.
However, he didn't show fatigue as Rivers hoped.
After obtaining the magic skill, unless the Clippers can pull the Nuggets into two overtimes, Xiang Chu doesn't worry about his physical strength at all.
In the final quarter, Paul took on the heavy responsibility of offense, and both Jordan and Griffin focused on Xiang Chu, and their actions began to increase.
They didn't believe that Xiang Chu was a superman, he didn't have foul trouble, and he could exert his strength in the fourth quarter.
However, it didn't take long for Xiang Chu to dunk in front of Griffin, and Griffin didn't hold back.
Seeing that Xiang Chu's score has reached 40, Jordan and Griffin are both confused.
How is it possible, is this person in front of him a monster? They can't feel any decline in Xiang Chu's hand-to-hand combat for so long, and feel even more powerful.
Paul's performance this time is considered perfect, and he has been using two long points to keep the Clippers alive. Knight has fouled 5 times and was completely suppressed by Paul again.
However, the Nuggets still lead the score.
The time left for the Clippers is getting less and less, but Redick missed several hits at critical moments.
Griffin already had some problems with his physical strength. He became more and more depressed and moved more and more. He was the first to be punished for fouling more than Jordan.
Rivers' face turned green, and Paul only felt a deep powerlessness at this time.
There was no way, Rivers simply replaced Jordan as well, without the inside line, and completely put his hope outside the three-point line.
However, the Nuggets didn't care at all. The four of them blocked the three-point line, and Xiang Chu took care of the entire three-second zone alone, so he came if he had the ability.
