Chapter 149 Good Schedule
For the Nuggets, the most threatening player for the Magic may be JJ Redick on the bench. The Nuggets' defensive habits cannot be changed with a few harsh words, and George Karl will definitely be blamed.
The Nuggets took the lead when they came up. They have weak links, but their overall strength is definitely stronger than the Magic.
They started off as a team, with a smooth offense until the Magic brought in JJ Redick just before the half quarter.
What is a weak link is knowing that the Magic will have to shoot a three-pointer when they are replaced, but they still can't guard against it.
The Magic scored four three-pointers in a row, and the Nuggets were so inexplicably behind.
In the second half of the quarter, Xiang Chu also gave up driving his teammates and beat Vucevic directly.
Xiang Chu really understands Kobe, and sometimes he really wants to solve the problem alone when he plays badly.
But Xiang Chu is different from Kobe, he will not get angry with himself, if he can't play, he will definitely pass the ball.
Fortunately, the Nuggets played well off the bench. After the old Miller and Brewer came up, they made consecutive hits, especially Brewer.
It's a pity that Brewer's weakness is also obvious, otherwise he would really be a good striker.
Except for JJ-Redick's strong scoring, the Magic's bench is scum in other aspects, and the Nuggets have no diarrhea.
When the main force came up, Xiang Chu continued to beat Vucevic violently.
Vucevic may be a little lighter than him now, and Xiang Chu can play as he pleases.
Vucevic is also very depressed. He would have been much happier this season.
In order to restrict Xiang Chu, he moved more and more, and fouls came.
The Magic also took a lot of shots outside this quarter, but the three-pointers are no longer so accurate.
Their three-pointers are not very good, JJ-Redick can be said to be a special case.
At the end of the half, Xiang Chu finally helped the team tie the score, but at the last moment Maurice Harkless made a mid-range shot, and the Nuggets were still temporarily behind by 2 points.
The Nuggets were also upset before playing the Magic, which is also a bit strange, and the collective feel of the outside line is not good.
George Karl is also very depressed. This is obviously an opportunity to improve his performance. It is a shame to struggle so much.
"Boys, have you forgotten how to play? Did you not sleep last night? Even if you did not sleep, you should cheer me up, or I will let him go home and get enough sleep."
"Be quick and kill them, this is the Pepsi Center, I need to see aggressiveness."
Some players still need to be whipped, and Ty Lawson performed much better in the third quarter.
The Nuggets took the lead again, but the lead was not sustainable.
JJ-Redick came up and hit two three-pointers. Xiang Chu now wants to hang up the team's defensive coach.
Is it difficult to defend the three-pointer? JJ-Redick doesn't have the ability to play with the ball.
Of course, Xiang Chu is also under the impression that the court is changing rapidly, and sometimes the opponent hesitates for half a second before making a shot. JJ-Redick still has a certain means to rely on three-pointers to make a living.
The Nuggets also tried to replace Fournier, and Fournier also hit a three-pointer, but George Karl was still not very satisfied with the rookie. His style was a little different from the rest of the Nuggets.
Xiang Chu's opinion is actually different. If Fournier is given more opportunities, he may be pleasantly surprised.
However, the team's current main guard will not move. During the substitute period, he needs to seize the few opportunities. His ability to seize opportunities is only average.
The key is the reason for the main position. Fournier's style may be able to match Xiang Chu, but Xiang Chu is resting most of the time when he plays.
At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets fell behind again.
George Karl was walking up and down the field, and if he was younger, he would have roared, and his poor health made him better.
He also played unsatisfactorily at the beginning of the last quarter. Xiang Chu played again after only a little more than 3 minutes of rest.
"Xiang Chu was very tough at the basket. Vucevic fouled again. He opened his hands with an innocent expression."
"Oh, Xiang Chu dunked inside again, just like his nickname, he is a bully."
"My God, Vucevic fouled for the fifth time. He can't stop Xiang Chu at all. Will the Magic make adjustments?"
The Magic can't make adjustments, they simply don't have a better choice.
Under Xiang Chu's strong performance, Gallinari and Iguodala also hit three-pointers from the outside. The score has caught up, and the Magic can only gamble.
Magic head coach Jacqui Vaughn was on the sidelines to teach Vucevic face-to-face, but at this time, I am afraid that no strategy will work, it depends on the players' hands getting harder.
The Nuggets missed an outside shot. Xiang Chu moved ahead of time and reached out to grab the offensive rebound. The Magic player hurried over to attack, Xiang Chu sent it to the side, and Faried rushed over to dunk.
This trick does not require too strong passing skills at all, it is completely practice makes perfect.
Xiang Chu and Farid cooperated with this move and contracted Xiang Chu's few assists.
The Magic's offense wasn't bad either. Nelson fouled Ty Lawson and made three free throws for a shot from beyond the three-point line.
This time Ty Lawson and Nelson can't help each other, but Xiang Chu has always had the final say in the interior. At 1:41, Vucevic committed six fouls. The Magic had no choice but to play. A small lineup was formed.
At this time, Iguodala didn't do anything else, just followed JJ-Redick.
It was not too late to make up for it. JJ Redick's two shots from beyond the three-point line were interfered, and the Nuggets took the opportunity to lead by 5 points.
Without Vucevic, the Magic's inside line can't even grab the backcourt.
The Nuggets can shoot with confidence from the outside, and Xiang Chu still has it in his hands if he misses the rebound.
In the last tens of seconds, the old Nuggets player Efflalo hit a three-pointer, and the Magic saw a glimmer of hope.
But time was running out, and after they committed a foul, they also realized the reality, and their fighting spirit dissipated like the wind.
29 points and 19 rebounds, this is how strong Xiang Chu is now.
Vucevic actually got a passing double-double, but with Xiang Chu's comparison, he looks too miserable.
After winning this game, the Nuggets are only half a game away from the fifth Warriors in the West, and a further step is just around the corner.
However, the Rockets are only one game away from them. They can't take it lightly.
"Guys, hurry up and practice three-pointers. Of course, this does not include me." Xiang Chu shouted on social media.
It's a joke, but I really hope that the Nuggets' three-pointers can be better.
As long as they are more accurate, other teams will not dare to shrink their defense at will, and it will be much easier for them to win the game.
During this period of time, the Nuggets have a good home game schedule. During training, George Karl also gave a death order. We must seize the opportunity to brush up the record and show the true strength of the team.
