Chapter 164 Luck
"The Overlord is mighty, the Overlord hit again, so what about overtime, the Overlord is so young, he must continue to crush."
"Haha, the Nuggets have already led by 3 points, and the game is guaranteed."
"Damn it, it's so possible, how does it defend, how can the opponent shoot a three-pointer, defend the three-pointer and put two points."
"Before handing over the ball to the overlord, he hit again and again, and when he fainted, he knew he would hit the iron, and it was time for extra time."
A few fans of Xiang Chu gathered around the computer to watch the live broadcast, pointing Jiangshan very excited.
It's a pity in the overtime game. They were only half a minute away from victory, and they didn't expect something to go wrong at the critical moment.
Jeff Green hit a three-pointer at a critical moment. The Nuggets' defensive attention was actually mainly on Terry and Pierce. They did not expect them to hand the ball to Jeff Green.
In the second overtime, the Nuggets took the lead again.
This time they both led by 3 points before the last few seconds, only to be tied by a three-pointer by the Celtics.
George Karl was so angry that he replaced Xiang Chu to defend the three-pointer with all his strength, but Pierce made a strong shot.
The Nuggets' main lineup played more time than the opponent, and they were still back to back, and now they are almost tired.
In the third overtime, Xiang Chuxie defended against Terry who came in for a foul, only to realize that this was his sixth foul.
After Xiang Chu went down, Garnett scored 6 points in a row, and the Nuggets regretted losing.
In fact, Mozgov can't be blamed, and Xiang Chu may not be able to defend against it. Garnett still pulled out to shoot. It can only be said that the old guy is still stable at critical moments.
And Terry is also a hero that cannot be ignored. He beat Xiang Chu down and hit a three-pointer.
The Celtics had too many saviors this time, and the Nuggets didn't deserve to lose.
Rivers also highly appreciated the players after the game, "I'm really happy for the performance of the players. Both teams performed very well today, but in the end, we worked hard enough to win the game."
"Pearce is a great shooter, Terry has a big heart, Garnett is good at hitting clutch shots, I would love to share with you what I was doing, I was sitting there like other fans, thinking about God."
George Karl has some regrets, "They deserve respect."
In the third overtime, it is indeed a pity to lose.
But what's more troublesome is that Iguodala and Gallinari both suffered injuries.
George Karl regretted it a little. He just gave up at the time, but now he feels like he lost his wife and lost his army.
Fortunately, the injuries of both of them are not very serious, and they should be recuperated for a while and they will be fine.
The Nuggets' Eastern Conference road trip continues, with two main players injured, the team can only start Fournier and Brewer.
In this case, the burden on Ty Lawson and Xiang Chu will be even heavier.
In fact, the main lineup is okay to say, but Brewer will be greatly affected when he mentions the starting rotation period, because Chandler can't play either.
It's not that Chandler was injured again, he's still recovering, playing back to back and needing a rest.
Their opponent, the Raptors, has just entered a big deal and got Rudy Gay to enhance their strength.
Gay is a ruthless character among the quasi-All-Stars. In some respects, he even robbed some of the All-Stars. The Grizzlies traded him to focus on building an inside system for both black and white bears. In addition, he was a little disappointed in Gay and did not intend to continue spending money. , and worried that he would jump out of the contract next year, he simply chose to trade for some benefits.
After the Raptors got Gay, their offensive power improved. Gay and DeRozan beat the Nuggets players who were facing each other in the first quarter. Fournier and Brewer were also depressed. point.
The Raptors' rookie center Valanciunas is very active in defense, and Xiang Chu is of course teaching how to behave.
The other party also knew what he should do, and put all his energy on confronting Xiang Chu.
With Xiang Chu's stable output in the interior, the Nuggets did not fall behind too much. You must know that they were beaten to the point of being unable to take care of themselves at the beginning of the outside line.
Brewer has a good chance of winning against the substitutes of many teams, but the strength of directly facing the opponent is a bit worse.
During the rotation period, the Nuggets could only play players who hadn't played much before, and the point difference between the two sides once reached double digits, but after Xiang Chu came on the court, he stabilized the situation.
Ty Lawson, who became the only ball-holding point of the main force, found his touch in the second quarter and teamed up with Xiang Chu to chase points. By the time of the halftime break, they had narrowed the gap between the two sides to 2 points.
Although a few major rotations are missing, the Nuggets are not without opportunities.
The key is that while Xiang Chu is playing, someone on the outside must stand up.
Ty Lawson is a little nervous because of his height, and that's fine if he can hold on.
The Nuggets lacked a ball-holding point this time, and George Karl did not emphasize tactics too much during the intermission. The key is to hand the ball to a strong point.
Without Iguodala and Gallinari, it will be more difficult to pass the ball inside, but there will still be open opportunities outside. If the role players can seize the opportunity to throw the ball in, Xiang Chu's role as a containment is also very good for the team. helpful.
In the third quarter, the Nuggets' outside shooting rate really had a problem.
Brewer tried his best to limit Gay's point, but DeRozan still felt good.
Fournier didn't play for long because he couldn't guard DeRozan.
Jordan Hamilton didn't play well. George Karl finally chose his trusted double guards and let the old Miller partner with Ty Lawson. At least the old Miller had rich experience in the game.
When it came to the rotation period, the Nuggets were in trouble again. Fields, John Lucas III and Alan Anderson all played very well. Lucas Jr. and Alan Anderson hit 6 three-pointers together. The score opened up again.
Xiang Chu came up and teamed up with Ty Lawson to chase points again.
George Karl didn't dare to let them play for too long. If anyone on the team was injured, they would suffer. Their previous situation was getting better and better.
In the last 5 minutes of the game, the Nuggets narrowed the gap between the two sides to 5 points.
Then at the critical moment, the outside line repeatedly missed, and the combination of Ty Lawson and the old Miller was too short.
But they were still chasing points hard. In the last 3 minutes, they caught up with only 2 points. In 2 minutes, the score was tied. In the last 19 seconds, Xiang Chu grabbed an offensive rebound, causing the opponent to foul and make two free throws. gain the lead in.
However, the Nuggets still fell short in this game.
Rudy Gay, who had been playing iron in the second half, completed the lore at the last moment, and the Nuggets regrettably lost by 1 point.
After nine consecutive victories, not only the schedule, but also the Nuggets seemed to be a lot less lucky. They fought to the end of both games and were killed.
Their old problem this season, perimeter defense has always been a problem.
George Karl shouldn't just stare at familiar players, he needs to pay more attention to this aspect.
Xiang Chu also lamented on social media, "It's not bad to learn a lesson in the regular season, but in more critical games, we can't let the opponent win like that."
