Chapter 373 Popular Players
The Bulls' adjustment was a little slower. Although Butler helped the team stabilize the situation, the Nuggets had already taken the initiative at this time.
Xiang Chu got a double-double in the first half and scored 21 in the last moment of the second quarter. The Nuggets' lead also reached 10 points.
The Bulls have good overall strength, and with defense, they can defeat many teams.
But facing the Nuggets is not that simple, and their tactics have problems from the inside to the outside.
The Bulls didn't seem very determined whether to beat Rose or Butler.
Rose still has a very tactical position in the Bulls, but his strength has indeed declined.
He can still break through, but the Nuggets have always had big players in the inside and he can only shoot from outside, and his shooting is not a strong point.
Hibert had no choice, he was not good at offense.
During the halftime break, he still emphasized the tactics, but still did not determine the core of the offensive, which almost meant that the stars came in turn.
In addition to Ross and Butler, Grand Gasol can also play if he has the chance.
In terms of the Nuggets, their tactics are much clearer, and they will still play in the double towers in the second half.
With two inside players, outside players will focus more on shooting.
The style of playing may be more single, but this is not a problem for the Nuggets, they have strong rebounds.
They all play with the double towers, but the Bulls can only defend passively.
Noah, who has weak All-Star strength, not only does not have the chance to score, but he can't even grab the rebound.
This is Xiang Chu's strength. Noah's inside line, which has obvious shortcomings, is no longer threatening to him.
But the Bulls played well in the third quarter, but Butler broke out.
Butler allowed Middleton and Chandler to commit five fouls and hit both on the bench.
He took action, and this quarter was even more powerful than Xiang Chu.
The Nuggets' forward line is not bad, but they will still suffer when they meet All-Star players. Butler has obviously evolved to the All-Star level this season.
Without Garlinari, it still has too much flaws. Middleton's strength is a little bit short of it, and Chandler is too mediocre.
At the last moment of the third quarter, Butler made a strong three-pointer and the Bulls took the lead.
After Xiang Chu came down to rest, he took the initiative to discuss with George Carl.
If Butler is so amazing in the last quarter, he will let the fourth position assist in defense and attack, and he will watch the three-second zone.
During the rotation period, the bulls did not take advantage.
Williams and Farid's pick-and-roll were not restricted by the other party at all.
The Bulls' substitute insider Ty Gibson is not bad, but they choose to speed up with a small defender and are destined to be unable to control Williams.
Among the sixth players in the league, Louis Williams is definitely the top leader.
However, the competition of the rotation lineup cannot determine the final outcome. The Nuggets' rotation lineup also has the disadvantage of weak defense, and most of the time it is impossible to make a final decision.
In the fourth quarter, Butler did not go down to rest.
George Carl did not immediately return Xiang Chu, but Butler did not have this deterrent power.
The Nuggets immediately chose to attack, while other Bulls teams did not perform well on the offensive end.
Three minutes later, Butler left the court for a break, and Rose came up to lead the team.
When Xiang Chu was not here, Ross' threat was still greater, and his breakthrough was fine to deal with the general inside.
After Rose came up, he scored 4 points, and it was Xiang Chu's playing time.
The Nuggets were in the lead again before Ross came on the court, but now they are one point behind.
After Xiang Chu came up, he turned over and jumped, and sent out an internal pass to help the Nuggets win the lead again.
At this time, the Bulls also changed back to the strongest lineup, and the two sides began the final battle.
Butler was more concerned about the Nuggets, but the Bulls' balls were all in Rose's hands in the last few minutes.
The Nuggets did not attack each other, but kept forcing the opponent to challenge the difficulty.
There is Xiang Chuzai inside, and Knight is not afraid of one of the strongest defenders in the league.
"Ross... made a three-pointer, Ross never made a three-pointer before, but he was absolutely reliable at the critical moment."
"It's Rose again, throwing, he still has the ability to play absolutely."
"What a pity. The Bull almost defended 24 seconds. Xiang Chu is really amazing."
"The Bulls have to protect the rebounds, they have lost three backcourt rebounds in just a short time."
"I didn't expect that the Nuggets' double tower tactics are so powerful. I feel that Xiang Chu is more like a power forward on the offensive end, and his singles ability is really too strong."
"The Bulls asked Butler to attack...They were empty on the outside, Fournier! Fournier made a three-pointer."
"Ross stopped urgently and took action... It's a pity that he didn't hit it."
"Ross doesn't care about his physical condition. He plays very firmly. If the shooting percentage is higher, the Bulls will definitely have a chance."
"Funnier made his second three-pointer in the last quarter, and the Bulls paid the price for their gambling defense."
The Bulls had no choice. They were not weak inside, but no one could defend Xiang Chu.
The key is that the Nuggets have a second taller person in the inside line. The inside line can pass through Xiang Chu, and the outside line can pass through Xiang Chu.
The Bulls have poor shooting from the outside, so they don't have many choices.
In the last minute, the Bulls replaced Noah and took a gamble with Brooks.
But this substitution did not play any role, and the Nuggets did not give the opponent a chance to take a three-pointer.
As Xiang Chu scored in the inside again, there was no suspense in the game.
Rose made the most shots in this game, but his shooting percentage was the lowest among players.
Ross was questioned about shooting too many shots before, but he still doesn't care about outside comments.
"I will definitely take those opportunities that I can make a shot when I normally make a shot. I don't care what others say, they can't control the way I play."
Ross was very domineering in the face of reporters, but he was no longer the player with strong strength and unlimited potential.
Without the support of strength, his personality will not become his plus point.
Xiang Chu sighed a little, but fortunately he did not encounter any injuries. He has been considering the matter of upgrading his magic skills. What is the priority to upgrade to the best advantage of him.
Now he prefers iron-blooded heroes and unlimited energy, and health is the most important thing for athletes.
Like Ross, he has clearly experienced the feeling of being in the field. It is too cruel if he wants to change his injuries, but if he doesn't change, it will be difficult to survive in this cruel league.
Xiang Chu would consider this because he would soon be able to draw the last magic skill.
After collecting the top ten magical skills, he will definitely make his magical skills stronger and stronger.
After winning the Bulls, the results of the All-Stars shooting second round have also come out.
Xiang Chu got his wish and became the vote king of this round, but James' vote king was very close to him.
In addition, the difference between Curry and Davis's vote king and the two of them is not very big.
