The Clippers' defense at the second position is not good, and the third position is even weaker.

Barnes can still play, but he is not young now, not to mention that he is just a role player.

After Middleton adapted to the pace of the game, it became increasingly difficult for the Clippers to limit him.

Originally, the Clippers focused more on Gallinari, but now it seems that Middleton should not be underestimated.

The Nuggets only have one All-Star, but many of their players are above the level.

If the opponent is strong, they will not suffer too much. If the opponent is weak, they may burst out with all-star lethality.

Middleton beat Parsons in the first round, and it is really difficult for Barnes to limit him now.

The Nuggets played more and more strongly both inside and outside, and by the last moment of the third quarter, they were ahead of the score.

The Clippers have trouble saying that they have done everything they should do. The Nuggets' players are stronger, and there is nothing they can do.

Just like the Mavericks, they have to rely on low-probability things to gain an advantage. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Mavericks, they are indeed a little unable to hold on now.

"Griffin tried three points, hey, it was a little bit worse."

"The biggest problem with the Clippers now is that Jordan Jr. has been weakened too much against Xiang Chu."

"Rivers Jr. hit a three-pointer, maybe this is the Clippers' chance."

"Xiang Chu scored easily in the inside again. Are the Clippers really not considering pincer attacks?"

"Funier... made a three-pointer, and the Clippers had problems with their defense at the critical moment. Paul was a little unhappy. He was communicating with his teammates."

"Redick's quick move after getting screened again, but unfortunately... he didn't hit, he had no touch in the second quarter at all, but now the Clippers really need someone to score."

"With the cooperation between Knight and Xiang Chu, they performed air contact in front of the air contact team, and the Nuggets' offense is getting smoother and smoother now."

At 1 minute and 11 seconds, Xiang Chu once again caused a killing and walked to the free throw line.

After making both free throws, the Nuggets' lead had reached 10 points. Next, the Clippers failed again with a three-point attempt, and the game lost the suspense.

They allowed the main players to play to the last moment, but the results of the game were difficult to change.

George Carl said calmly after the game: "I think the team's defense is doing well. When the game is stalemate, it depends on who can implement the tactics stably until the end."

Xiang Chu said in a very official way: "For us, this is definitely a difficult victory. The Clippers are a resilient team, they are a tenacious team, and they will never give up."

He deliberately sent out some misleading signals. The strength of the two teams is similar, and the Clippers may have different situations if they do a little bit.

Rivers also said that the Nuggets did a good job of their stronger defense, especially in the second half.

“In that case, we didn’t make adjustments in time. It made the situation worse, which was very frustrating.”

In another matchup between the West, the Warriors defeated the Rockets with Curry and more stable performance.

In fact, many of the data of the two teams are similar, and it seems that the Rockets have hope of winning the game.

But at a critical moment, Curry performed much better than Harden.

Xiang Chu was a little disappointed with Howard's performance, and he did not pose any more threats to the Warriors' inside.

The existence that Xiang Chu had to look up to when he was in the alliance seemed to be no longer adapting to the pace of the alliance.

Seeing Howard's embarrassing attitude, Xiang Chu became more determined in the inside line, and he came to defend the glory of the No. 5 position.

There was a small unpopularity in the east, and the Cavaliers lost to the Bulls at home.

Ross played well against the Cavaliers, and Butler also defended against James, so the Cavaliers had lost the game with Irving scoring 30 points.

But thinking about Love's truce, this result seems normal.

The Knight, who was originally strong, is not sure who can enter the next round due to injury.

The Nuggets are more grateful that their injuries are stronger than those of the tiger. They are in good condition now.

They don't have time to care too much about other teams, and the second game starts on time.

At this stage, both sides have the belief of winning, and no one can be careless.

There is no major change in the competition between the Nuggets and the Clippers.

The starting points of both sides remain unchanged, and even the tactics of the start did not change. They all started from the strongest point.

The Clippers think that they failed just because of the details, and perhaps because they had no other way.

In terms of the Nuggets, there is no need to change at all. The leader on both sides of their offense and defense is Xiang Chu. Everyone knows that if you have the ability, you can take it out.

In the playoffs, there are no surprises in most of the time, and everyone is competing for hard power.

This time, the Nuggets beat the Clippers at the beginning, and Xiang Chu and Middleton interacted very actively at two points.

The Nuggets are just trying to catch the opponent's weak links, even if Gallinari and Xiang Chu interacted in the first round.

The Clippers felt the pressure from the beginning, but there were not many ways they could use, and the Nuggets' defense against Redick became increasingly tight.

The key is that Redick's ability is not beyond the scope of a shooter, and he cannot create opportunities by himself.

Soon, he seemed a little hasty in order to score and his hit rate could not be guaranteed.

And the Nuggets also gained the upper hand on this bench coach.

Rivers' teeth were almost bitten off on the sidelines. He had already made a lot of details after the game. He believed that the team could do better than on the court, but why did it perform worse.

It was really unfair to play at the Nuggets' home court, and he felt uncomfortable. Perhaps the proposal to put the playoffs in a neutral position was very good.

Sometimes changes are forced. When they are behind, Rivers tries to use Hawys to play the fifth position to open up space, allowing Paul to increase his personal offense.

There is an effect. Xiang Chu can defend himself, but there is no need. He has a greater role in assisting defense in the inside.

Hawyce hit a three-pointer and Paul also hit a three-pointer. The Clippers did gain something on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Hawyce hit Xiang Chu's main defense is a disaster.

His confrontation was too bad. Xiang Chu beat him like bullying middle school students again.

You can't have both offense and defense. Rivers felt so painful. Facing the Nuggets at the beginning, it was really hard to bear the rest of the time.

Players of Xiang Chu are cheating. In comparison, the Clippers' All-Star players have much smaller threats.

When the Clippers' offense started, Xiang Chu kept asking for a strong attack.

Off the field gives people an illusion, off the field, you cannot give the opponent a chance. Raising hope makes people desperate. This is the correct way to use the routine.

Of course, he can do this because the Clippers released a pure offensive lineup.
