Xiang Chu is a little regretful that he did not meet the Spurs this time in the playoffs.

The Clippers are not weak either, but they are still a little bit short. Now that he is on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, he feels more excited.

After all, it is a team from his hometown, and he did not expect the Warriors to rise so quickly before.

The little grudge between Xiang Chu and the Warriors was advanced again before the game, but this was no longer the main voice.

His current achievements, Curry's performance this season, and the showdown of strong teams are the most attractive.

The starting lineup of both sides has not changed, and the Western Conference Finals has finally become a showdown of the new generation.

But strictly speaking, Xiang Chu and Curry are not considered new players in the league, but their players are not growing that fast.

For fans, they are indeed the fresh blood of the league.

Fans who have always followed Xiang Chu feel that they are witnessing an era.

If Xiang Chu could defeat James twice, does it mean that he could drive James off the throne in advance? However, Xiang Chu will now defeat a powerful challenger first.

The Warriors completely gave up the inside offense at the beginning, Bogut's meat shield and Draymond Green assisted in defense, and the approach to Xiang Chu was very obvious.

Their offensive end is Curry and Thompson, with only two attacking, but they are strong enough.

The Warriors have a lot of cover in their tactics, which is better than the Clippers.

Curry and Thompson can catch the ball and shoot, and either of them is better than Redick.

Moreover, Curry can also play with the ball, which poses a great threat to the Nuggets' defense.

However, they didn't get a lead at Pepsi Center, just because the Nuggets attacked more.

The Nuggets will not give up on the attack end. If they want to lock Xiang Chu, the others will be very decisive, especially the two forwards, Middleton and Garlinari, which also threatened the Warriors a lot.

Barnes and Middleton are in the same class and have a higher starting point, but now they are no match for Middleton at all.

The Nuggets' forward line did not give people a strong impression, and they would be defeated when they encountered the powerful fourth position.

However, although the Warriors' fourth position is not weak, they are more of a supportive position on the offensive end. Gallinari will be more physically energetic on the offensive end.

This situation was not expected by the Warriors. The Nuggets' outside line often slowed down, and the Warriors also wanted to take a gamble. If they blocked Xiang Chu and gained a lead, they would definitely implement this tactic to the end.

Now I feel that the attack power is a bit insufficient, so should I hire a small lineup?

Warriors head coach Kerr is also very confused. He understands how powerful Xiang Chu is.

However, they are behind now and must change and try all kinds of methods.

For the Warriors, the failure of the first game is not scary. It is mainly to understand the Nuggets' background and then win the series in a targeted manner.

The playoffs are different from the regular season. The previous games are not very good, so you need to re-evaluate them.

Kerr's first move is to play David Lee, and David Lee plays soybean this time, but the Nuggets are not good at defending the attacking fourth position, and he has performed well against the Nuggets before.

But soon after I changed it, Cole understood that David Lee could not count on him now.

First, my condition has declined, and second, the Nuggets' defense is much stronger in the playoffs. David Lee is a bit helpful on the field, which means the offensive end. The gains may not be able to withstand his defensive end problem.

The Warriors changed their words again and changed to Azeri to make a meat shield.

Bogut's flesh shield is OK, but his physical strength is not as good as Jordan. Even if he can control the foul, he will not be able to hit Xiang Chu for such a long time.

The Warriors still have to try a small lineup, but they don’t go directly, so they play one, one, four, and four.

The Warriors are still rotating more players now, but many people cannot play a greater role in the Nuggets.

For example, Iguodala can do anything in the organization's defense, but it's normal in front of the Nuggets. The Nuggets have no absolute core on the outside to let him guard it. Instead, the shortcomings of the offensive end have been amplified.

But they also had a surprise, that is Livingston.

The Nuggets' Round's lineup has average personal defense ability, and Livingston directly hits the back and becomes the number one firepower point on the Warriors' bench.

A tall defender like Livingston, who plays well with the outside line is like a misalignment.

The key is that the outside lines on the Nuggets' bench are not strong enough, which makes this guy have a glory.

Relying on the performance of the substitute lineup, the Warriors caught up with the score, but they were just showing off their power during the rotation time. After the Nuggets' main player came up, it was no turn for an outside player to be arrogant at the low post.

Xiang Chu's bounce was not to an exaggerated level, but his lateral movement speed was not slow and his judgment was accurate, so he could control a large area in the inside line.

He can't control the Warriors playing tactics outside the three-point line, but if they play inside, he will tell the other party whose territory it is.

So after the main force came back, the Nuggets stabilized the situation again.

In the first game, everyone was not yet at the point of competing for the main force. The Warriors were testing, and the Nuggets were the same.

The main players of both sides had enough rest in the first half. At the end of the half, the Nuggets entered the halftime with a 2-point advantage.

As long as the score is not big, it is not a big deal, and the second half is the key.

Now it seems that it is not necessary to deal with Curry to the point of being attacked, and it is easier to stare at others.

Also, the opponent's small lineup didn't play for long in the first half. Xiang Chu and George Carl agreed that as long as the opponent dared to let Green play the No. 5 position, the Nuggets would try their best to feed the ball inside.

Xiang Chu will beat this kid, and on the defensive end, the Nuggets should be more cautious at that time and must not let the opponent score three points.

If the Warriors scored and the score was widened to double digits at once, it would be difficult to recover even if the Nuggets had a great advantage in the inside.

After all, the Warriors do not have meat shields. They have two meat shields and are relatively well prepared in all aspects.

In the third quarter, the defense of both sides was more targeted, the scene looked a little dull, and no one could break the score in a short time.

Warriors head coach Cole couldn't help but think about working on the small lineup, and kept having a flesh shield on the court, looking for opportunities without being arrogant or impatient.

We must be cautious when facing the Nuggets. Now the two teams score similarly, and no one will change their playing style randomly.

The Nuggets' forward line has been restricted to a certain extent, and the Warriors' defense is still good.

However, Xiang Chu is too strong, and the Nuggets will still have opportunities on the outside, but it is not reflected in one or two players, and Xiang Chu can score by seizing the opportunity.

The Warriors mainly rely on Curry on the offensive end. Thompson's shooting is not worse than Curry, but he does not have the ability to hold the ball and play. After the Nuggets strengthened their off-ball marking, he has much less chance.

Under the tangled score, the stability of both sides' offense and defense.

The Warriors are indeed much better than the Clippers, and Xiang Chu is also prepared to work hard. In the final quarter, he will always decide the winner.
