Chapter 155 Fighting Thunder Again
"Uh, trouble, but fortunately the schedule is not very tight."
Xiang Chu was lying on the sofa with his head resting on Olivia's lap. Fortunately, there was a beautiful woman to comfort him when he came back. The team is in trouble.
It’s okay to blame your teammates, after all, people are different, and everyone’s abilities are also different.
If he hadn't got the system, he might still be watching the game in front of the TV. He doesn't have a big house or a beautiful girlfriend, so he doesn't complain, he's just a little upset.
It is useless to find George Karl for the time being, and it will cause conflicts between the two parties.
Just leave these troublesome matters to Jim Smith. Now that buddy is in a good mood, and he has two endorsements to discuss.
Huaguo plans to ask him to endorse a new type of smart phone, with a price of 600 million US dollars a year.
In addition, a car came to him, and he endorsed an off-road vehicle, which cost 1000 million US dollars in two years.
Xiang Chu's current Chinese fans have surpassed Jeremy Lin's. That off-road vehicle is to enter the Chinese market.
Xiang Chu also sighed, he didn't expect his commercial value to increase so quickly.
There are many other endorsements looking for him, but they haven't talked about it yet, and his attitude is to prefer to lack rather than to abuse.
After these two commercial endorsements are negotiated, Jim Smith can also earn a lot of money, and he will not persuade Xiang Chu to accept some messy endorsements. As a star image management is also very important.
In the next game, they have to face the strong enemy Thunder, even at home, it is not optimistic.
Many teams in the league are not perfect. After all, there is a salary cap limit. Some teams have many offensive points but are not strong, some teams have only a few strong points, and others are just role players.
The Thunder only have a few strong points, but they know who they will shoot, but it is difficult to limit them.
The Nuggets restricted Durant very well in the first quarter, and of course it was also related to the opponent's feel.
But Westbrook must have beaten Ty Lawson violently, which is also understandable. There are very few guards in the entire league who have not been violently beaten by Westbrook.
The Nuggets scored entirely on the inside, because Durant was not allowed, and they still took the lead in the middle.
But after Kevin Martin came up, the Thunder tied the score again.
"Come on everyone, this is our home game." Xiang Chu tried his best to encourage his teammates.
He can be upset, but the team leader can't hang his head down during the battle. If there is any problem, we can talk about it in training.
On the bench, Brewer stood up again, as long as someone stood up, no matter who it was, he could relieve Xiang Chu's pressure.
On the Thunder's side, Perkins didn't want to attack at all, and focused all his energy on defense.
Still, the three insiders took turns to play. This time they wanted to attack. Thabeet gave Collison a lot of time, but these insiders were not high enough. Xiang Chu quickly made them foul twice each.
In the second quarter, Durant also adjusted his offense and defense, causing several fouls by the Nuggets.
But they did not take the lead because the Nuggets performed well off the bench. In addition to Brewer, there were Chandler and old Miller. The Thunder only had Martin, and Martin was not as good as Harden.
They are now No. [-] in the Western Conference thanks to the fact that the stars are so good, the Thunder Twins are too difficult to limit, especially Durant, who is truly indiscriminate singles.
In the first half, everyone in the Nuggets scored, and half of the Thunder didn't score. Therefore, when the Nuggets' main outsiders were all 2 or 3 points, they ended up leading by 1 point.
"They are not invincible. They have no more ways to attack. Only we can unite. Victory belongs to us. Boys, I feel your determination. Go fight as much as you want."
Compared with the last time, the team's performance this time is not bad. George Karl is also working hard to maintain the fighting spirit of the players. He is also very eager for the team's record.
In the summer, he tried his best to suggest a gamble. Players have a contract period, and so does the coach. He hopes to lead the team to a good performance so that he can ask the team for a generous contract.
George Karl is not young anymore, and he has also coached the league for many years. He enjoys the feeling of commanding the team, and he does not want to retire.
In the third quarter, Gallinari's touch finally came.
Xiang Chu was in a happy mood and turned the tide in the paint. Perkins quickly fouled four times.
After Perkins went down, Xiang Chu did whatever he wanted, and the Nuggets' lead gradually expanded, reaching double digits at most.
They can gradually take the lead, and it has something to do with Westbrook's inaccuracy in this quarter. If the Gemini stars in the ring explode, Xiang Chu beats all of them inside so that it is useless to call him dad.
However, after Westbrook went down, Durant and Martin scored 2 points in the last 9 minutes, and the Nuggets' lead was only 2 points.
But they were still in the lead, and Xiang Chu carefully told his teammates to rotate, "Hold on, we can win."
This time Xiang Chu was not disappointed. Brewer went up and scored two consecutive three-pointers, and the Nuggets' lead expanded.
Xiang Chu was very happy, and told himself to hold on when he went up.
He has always been the most stable. At this time, even if the Nuggets' outside line is thin, as long as the ball can be passed to him, he can hold the victory.
The Thunder dispatched a decisive lineup early, and both Westbrook and Durant made various impacts to cause damage.
The Nuggets are here to stay the same, just to find a way to get the ball into Xiang Chu's hands, slow down the pace of the game and play inside.
Faried committed five breaks, and the Nuggets played one and four.
Xiang Chu has also fouled four times, but the Thunder's inside line has no offensive power, and he only fouled when he was assisting in defense. It is not difficult to control.
Entering the last 2 minutes, the Nuggets are still leading steadily.
The Thunder were forced to have no choice but to pile up three-pointers. At this time, the Nuggets' defensive strategy was obvious. Two points could be given, but three-pointers could not be shot.
It stands to reason that the Thunder could not come back at this time, but at 1 minute and 46 seconds, Durant made a strong three-pointer, which made everyone in the Nuggets feel tight.
Sometimes it's not a problem of defense, it's just that the opponent is too strong.
Then, the Nuggets double-teamed Durant, Durant scored Martin and also hit a three-pointer, and the situation became tense.
Entering the last 30 seconds, the Nuggets still lead by 1 point and have the ball.
The Thunder tried their best to prevent Xiang Chu from receiving the ball, and Ty Lawson finally made a strong outside shot.
He missed a shot, but Xiang Chu grabbed the offensive rebound again, and Perkins didn't care about it, and hugged him directly, paying for the sixth foul and not allowing Xiang Chu to force him directly.
Xiang Chu stood on the free throw line, withstood the pressure and made two free throws.
At this time, the Thunder only have one chance to attack. If they don't hit a three-pointer, they will lose with a high probability. The Nuggets must know how to defend.
George Karl replaced both Xiang Chu and Ty Lawson. The five players on the field can defend beyond the three-point line, and they are not short, so it is not easy for the opponent to make strong shots.
