The Spurs lost, they lost to the Thunder. The Thunder has basically withdrawn from the battle for the No. 1 in the Western Conference, and they have successfully pulled the Spurs down.

Xiang Chu was still a little happy as a Nuggets player. Without the Spurs following closely, the team's last few games could be much easier.

They have one more away game in the future, and the schedule before the playoffs is not easy. How to maintain the players' good form depends on the team to adjust it themselves.

The Nuggets' final teams are all Western Conference playoff-level teams, and none of them are easy to deal with. George Carl's plan is to increase rotation as much as possible.

What players can use in the playoffs? The bench also needs to be used with light-hearted methods.

On April 4, the Nuggets went away to play against the Grizzlies.

The Nuggets are trying to restrain the Grizzlies, but it is not easy to play hand-to-hand combat with the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies also lost the ball when they came on the court. Now is the time to fight hard, and they play very roughly when they come up.

Gasol also tried to force Xiang Chu to kill.

This was one of the ways to deal with Xiang Chu last season, but few people have done so now.

Because she couldn't do it, Xiang Chu was strong enough in the three-second zone, and those who wanted to fight were basically humiliating, not to mention that Gasol was not that strong on the offensive end.

Gasol, a little boy, didn't beat Xiang Chu very much, and after being hit by another shot, he realized that the team's tactics were a bit overthinking, and Xiang Chu was already at a completely different level.

However, someone stood up from the outside of the Grizzlies, last time it was Courtney Lee, and this time it was Prince.

Moreover, the Grizzlies did well on the defensive end, and they gained some advantages in the quarter.

But this advantage did not last long. After the substitute player continued to play 6, the Nuggets had an absolute advantage.

The Grizzlies don’t have good substitutes, which is their biggest obstacle to becoming a team.

The Black and White Two Bears are not players with very good endurance. No one can score on their bench. It is really a loss to meet a strong team like the Nuggets.

The Nuggets have the benefits of Williams, and he is able to score with the ball most of the time.

And there will always be someone to swing the shooters on their bench, and this is Dunleavy.

Knight also played very well in the second quarter, so the Nuggets played better and better after the score was reversed. If Randolph hadn't played two games in the last moment, the Grizzlies would have fallen behind double digits in the first half.

During the halftime break, Grizzlies coach Dave Joggle also looked serious.

Their pressure is really great now. If they can't even enter the playoffs, the head coach will probably become a scapegoat with poor performance.

If they want to win the Nuggets now, they must fight on the offensive end, and it is useless to rely on defense alone.

If the offensive end is to start, the outside line must be opened. It is impossible to beat the Nuggets with the black and white bear chisel.

The Grizzlies changed in the third quarter and replaced Mike Miller.

They also had no choice, the team did not have any three-pointers.

However, their execution ability is very strong, and Conley is also good. Conley started to attack in the second half, and the Grizzlies' offense on the outside was much better than in the first half.

Knight was still slightly at a loss when he was fully committed, but the Nuggets were better overall.

In the third quarter, it can be said that the two sides were going back and forth under tight defense, and the score gap between the two sides did not continue to expand and it was not so easy to narrow.

At this time, it depends on who can seize the opportunity in the stalemate. The Nuggets are never afraid of trying their best to fight their opponents. They have Xiang Chu and are full of confidence.

Even if Xiang Chu has no power for the time being, the weak links of the Grizzlies themselves are inevitable.

There was no one on their bench. In order to have a chance to win the game, the Grizzlies fucked the black and white bears hard this time, and the two of them didn't have much rest in the second half.

However, sometimes players don’t say they can stay on it just by wanting to stay on it.

Just halfway through the final quarter, Gasol Jr. had already committed five fouls.

But the other party knew that if they were substituted, they would be like this in this game, so Jogel took the risk and let Gasol stay on it.

Two minutes later, the careful little Gasol was still killed by Xiang Chu, and Liu committed the crime.

After he got off the game, the Grizzlies were a little unable to hold on. Even though Conley hit a row in the last moment, the Nuggets took the opportunity to expand their lead to double digits.

This time they were at home, the result of the game was exactly the same.

The Nuggets' strength is almost two levels higher than the Grizzlies.

And now, even fans who don’t like Xiang Chu must admit that the Nuggets have the strength of a strong team, and ordinary playoff teams are not their opponents at all.

Many of Xiang Chu's fans are discussing his big hit in the playoffs.

Xiang Chu has never been afraid in the playoffs. This season, the Nuggets have built a lineup around him. Although they are a little young, they are very worth looking forward to.

Two days later, Xiang Chu came to Houston with the team.

After the Rockets' performance is definitely better than last season after they have Howard, although it is not much better.

After Howard came to the West, he was not just suppressed by Xiang Chu. He now gave people the feeling that he was only at an ordinary All-Star level and had no strength to control the outcome of the game.

The Rockets are now stable in the playoffs, but there is almost no hope for home court advantage.

Howard's playing style is actually a bit similar to Xiang Chu. He doesn't care much about tactics like cover, just sit inside, but he doesn't have the strength of Xiang Chu, and he can only be small in front of Kobe, and he doesn't have the status of Harden when he comes to the Rockets.

However, Howard will not play in this game. He is now recovering from injuries, so there is no big problem, just to adjust his state for the playoffs.

If Howard doesn't go, the Rockets naturally ask Asik to come up to make a meat shield.

The Rockets have also been a little chaotic this season. Jeremy Lin fell out of favor and played as a substitute for most of the season. Now Beverly is going to recover from his injury and prepare for the playoffs, and Jeremy Lin is on the way again.

The Rockets are teams with strong offense and weak defense, but after the start of this game, the two teams did not go very smoothly on the offensive end.

It was purely because of the touch problem that both sides did not make three-pointers on the outside.

In this case, the Nuggets naturally gained the advantage by Xiang Chu's performance.

It was not until the rotation that Rockets substitute guard Isaiah Canan opened for the team outside the three-point line.

Although it is related to the player's touch, Xiang Chu is also quite satisfied with the team's defense at the beginning.

With Xiang Chu's stable scoring point, the Nuggets' Day took the lead in the score.

In the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Harden and Jeremy Lin felt at the same time. The Rockets' offensive end was full of flowers. Fournier also felt at the Nuggets. He echoed Xiang Chu's inside and outside, and the Nuggets also made a smooth attack.
