Chapter 308 Against the Nuggets

After the game in March, the Rockets finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And their ranking also accidentally ranked first in the Western Conference from the beginning of the season, and once again stood at the top of the Western Conference.

And their competitiveness is also completely recognized by people, such as good luck, good schedule, etc., basically do not appear on them, and they are all praised.

So when April comes, while everyone is paying attention to the Rockets, they are also very interested in various league awards and the upcoming playoffs.

But these didn't have much impact on Qin Tao and the others. After all, the game would continue.

At the beginning of April, the momentum of the Rockets was very fierce.

The first is the opening game of this month. Although the Magic played very tenaciously, at least the Rockets have entered the melting pot. After a lot of hammering, the Rockets finally had the last laugh.

Then No. 3 ran into the underdog Kings, No. 5 won the Trail Blazers, and was ready to meet the Nuggets who came to challenge No. 6.

The current Nuggets have long lost the stigma of Iverson and Anthony, and are dominated by Andre Iguodala, half-orc Faried, and old demon Andre Miller.

And it is such a team that seems to have no superstars, but it played a very good game this season.

They are ranked fourth in the Western Conference after the Spurs.

Seven o'clock sharp.

This decisive battle between No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the West not only has the treatment of being broadcast live in the United States, but also becomes a game that a large number of fans and experts pay attention to.

Without him.

After the Rockets won the Spurs, gave the Clippers a loss to the fifth in the West, and won the Grizzlies, which is temporarily ranked sixth, the Nuggets are one of the Western powerhouses that have never played against them .

nowadays.

They were finally able to compete with teams that had never played against each other in the West. Not to mention the expectations of the outside world, even they were full of fighting spirit.

In the locker room.

Rarely, the Rockets lost their laughing and joking, and added a very solemn atmosphere.

They packed up their equipment one by one, silently making all preparations for this tough battle.

The moment has finally arrived.

When they trotted into the Toyota Center one after another, the fans from the stands exploded first, cheering and yelling endlessly, as if they were going to knock down the roof.

Compared with the treatment of the Rockets, the Nuggets are obviously not as popular.

As the warm-up began, the entire arena became noisy.

commentary bit.

Jeff Van Gundy and Clyde Drexler, two famous Rockets who have no sense of presence recently, have prepared for this game early and have already started their performances.

Through one of them cheering and shaking their burdens, the two of them sang together, and they almost made the Rockets this year's championship.

However, as professional commentators, their professionalism cannot be one-sided. With an in-depth analysis from point to point, they can conclude that the Rockets are slightly better.

With their opening remarks, the fans present and the audience in front of the TV are looking forward to it even more.

After all, a unilateral massacre would feel great at first, but in the end it was still boring.

The game finally begins.

The Rockets' lineup is very stable, and they are still the same.

The Nuggets need to combine young and old, which looks more balanced.

Center position.

Because JaVale McGee's recent performance is not stable, George Karl did not let him start, but kept the low-key and conscientious Costa Koufos on the court.

Needless to say, the power forward candidate, since Kenneth Faried showed a brutal side, he only took one season to sit on the team's starting lineup.

The small forward is very comprehensive. He is at the peak of his pressure. Wilson Chandler, known as the CBA star, can be ranked first in this position now.

Not to mention the shooting guard, since leaving the 76ers, Iguodala's performance has not dropped too much, and it is even stronger than before.

The Nuggets have a discerning eye in the selection of point guards, and it is Andre Miller, who is known as the king of civilians together with Billups.

In Miller's career, although he gave the impression of roaming several teams, no one has ever underestimated his ability.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be called one of the purest point guards.

Looking at Andre Miller, Qin Tao couldn't help yearning.

When Miller entered the league, although the pure enthusiasm of the 90s has fallen, his playing style is definitely one of the representatives of that period.

With Qin Tao's physical fitness and ability, he would think from time to time, if what he traveled through was not the 21st century, but the passionate and rough 90s, and faced countless legends, what a joy it would be.

pity.

The matter of time travel is nonsense.

Game start.

Compared with a floor player like Asik, Costa Koufus' physical fitness has always been underestimated.

So during the jump ball, when Koufos easily got the ball, there were some exclamations in the arena.

Andre Miller caught the ball and advanced, and the others followed suit and pressed in.

Compared with some other veteran academic coaches, the style of the coach George Karl is undoubtedly more flexible and changeable.

of course.

Some people may say that he is quite stubborn, but no matter how stubborn he is, what he once led the Sonics to do is an honor that countless coaches envy.

Defensive counterattack, pick-and-roll cuts.

This is the flexibility of George Karl. He did not blindly follow positional warfare, but chose to be safe and changeable.

But on offense, in addition to pick-and-roll air cuts, he is also very practical for stars. As long as you have the ball in your hand, you can play, and others have to make the ball for you.

So after the collision between Iguodala and Parsons, Miller gave him the ball immediately.

After taking the ball.

Iguodala displayed his proficient breakthrough technique. Although the speed is not fast, his strong body still makes Parsons uncomfortable.

coming!

With the help of his teammates' cover, Iguodala was much more ferocious than a few years later. He didn't stop at all, and rushed to the inside with the ball.

Faried and Koufus were quite strong, and they did not give Asik and Motel a chance to defend. Harden and the others were a little far away, and in the end they could only watch Iguodala easily show off his strength to smash Huashan.

They showed off at the beginning of the game, which made the Nuggets quite imposing, and everyone cheered excitedly for their boss.

Although the Rockets were upset and McHale was a little irritable, all in all they were calm.

But Qin Tao, who was sitting off the court, was a little worried. At least judging from the spirit of the two teams, the Nuggets were obviously stronger.
