The strongest basket king

Chapter 165

Chapter 165

Most people are used to Xiang Chu's appearance, and there are still some players who interact with him and like him.

Xiang Chu will also interact with other people, popularity is only one aspect, the circle of the league is so small, maybe they will play together in the future.

Before the All-Star break, the Nuggets will also play an away game in the Eastern Conference against the new Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Nets.

The Nets have kept Brook Lopez healthy this season, traded Joe Johnson in the summer, signed Blanche, and their combat power has improved a lot.

At the same time, the Nets are also a big three-pointer, and the Nuggets must prepare in advance.

Chandler started for the Nuggets this time, and Fournier was dropped because of defensive problems.

In fact, Xiang Chu felt that Fournier played well. In the previous game, he hit all the open shots outside the three-point line. In fact, as long as he is given more opportunities to familiarize himself with the field, he should be able to match him.

It's a pity that there are several players on the team's shooting guard line, and George Karl is simply unwilling to give him so many opportunities.

The performance of many players after changing teams is surprising, it is a matter of opportunity.

If Xiang Chu was still in the Lakers, he would definitely be suppressed by Howard, how could he have the current status in the arena.

At the beginning of the game, both sides were a little bit hard, and when everyone was hard, Xiang Chu's role was obvious.

Brook Lopez is much better offensively than his younger brother, and can play in front of Xiang Chu, but his efficiency is not as high as Xiang Chu.

The Nets are still stronger on the perimeter. Deron's truce, but CJ-Watson, who replaced him, performed well.

The Nets scored 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, and only Fournier, who came off the bench, made one for the Nuggets.

In this case, the Nuggets also took the lead. It can only be said that Xiang Chu's efficiency is invincible.

In the second quarter, the Nets' outside line became sharper, and they hit 5 more three-pointers.

Although Ty Lawson also came to feel the Nets, but it is not as good as the opponent's full bloom.

Now that the Nets are understaffed and the bench is much weaker, Xiang Chu's situation will be bad if he goes to the team.

Moreover, Lopez has also made progress in restricting Xiang Chu. Lopez's chassis is relatively stable. Although his low-post defense against Xiang Chu is not effective, he always pesters Xiang Chu to let his teammates grab rebounds when grabbing rebounds. This is a good move.

On the offensive end, he also played a few times. His skills are really solid, and Xiang Chu can't completely limit them.

With a high shooting percentage, the Nets scored 39 points in the second quarter, leading the Nuggets by 5 points before the intermission.

George Karl frowned, he really couldn't do anything about the three-point defense.

With 9 three-pointers at halftime, who can stand it? Without Iguodala and Gallinari, especially Gallinari as an attack point, the Nuggets have a lot less ways to play. Xiang Chu and Ty Lawson both Being marked by the opponent.

If they want to change the situation in the second half, they must increase their strength on both ends of the offense and defense.

However, in the third quarter, Joe Johnson showed his prowess and teamed up with CJ Watson to score 22 points. The Nuggets allowed the opponent to hit 5 shots from beyond the three-point line.

The Nuggets' trailing score also reached double digits, and the outside line was blasted to pieces, which was impossible to play.

Xiang Chu couldn't turn the tide in the final quarter, and the Nuggets lost another game before the All-Star weekend.

It's just that Xiang Chu also had a "mileage sorrow". He surpassed Love and became the player with the most consecutive double-doubles in active service.

As for league history, Chamberlain, one of his templates, has more than 200 consecutive games, and he is still far behind.

This record is one of the few records that is biased towards the inside. Rebounds are much better than assists.

But those who scolded Xiang Chu for his stats are all sunspots. Xiang Chu's efficiency in the interior this season is really incredible, and many of his rebounds are offensive rebounds.

He just can't directly rely on support to drive his teammates now, and the opportunities for his teammates in the paint have greatly increased.

The biggest problem for the Nuggets now is perimeter defense and shooting stability, which Xiang Chu can't help.

In terms of assisting defense, he has to work hard to improve. Faried's high-level assisting defense is a bit embarrassing, so Xiang Chu still has to sit at the basket.

If he helps defend and practice, the Nuggets' defense will be better, and their winning percentage will be improved to a higher level.

I'm a little upset about losing, but it's the All-Star Weekend soon, and I need to relax.

After all, after the All-Stars, he will go all out to hit the playoffs. Xiang Chu's team status this season is different, so he naturally needs to take on more responsibilities and play a leading role.

This year's All-Stars are in Houston, Xiang Chu naturally paid for Xiang Jianzhong's family to come and play.

It was not easy for Xiang Jianzhong to accept the invitation every time, but now Xiang Chu rarely had time to go back to them, so he agreed.

Different from the last time, besides bringing an extra Olivia this time, Xiang Chu also brought Xibel who came from Canada. He didn’t mind entertaining Olivia’s family, but Mr. Johnson refused. Thin.

"Brother-in-law, you will be reimbursed if I go shopping, but I am penniless." Xibel obviously has a different personality from his father, and he is more affectionate when he comes here.

"Reimbursement, reimbursement." Xiang Chu will never be fussy when he should be generous.

"Reimbursement for your size, I know you took money from your family." Olivia's eyes were full of contempt.

Xibel didn't care at all, "No, sister. Brother-in-law has such a high salary, why are you so stingy?"

"I'm not stingy. I'll pay for what you want. Don't bother him." Olivia said helplessly.

She also saved some money while studying here, making money from social media is much easier than when she was working in Los Angeles.

"It's okay, we're all family anyway, so we'll buy some gifts for our uncles and aunts," Xiang Chu said generously.

Olivia gave him a sideways glance, "Who is a family with you."

Olivia has a lot more principles than Xibel, and she was reluctant to spend Xiang Chu's money, so she dragged Xibel away. Xiang Chu was going to prepare for the All-Star Weekend, but there was nothing wrong with hanging around with the two girls.

This time we will play the rookie game and the main game, so there are more things to do.

Xiang Chu and Faried are in different teams. The two teams in the rookie game are formed in the same way as last year. Both were picked by O'Neal and Barkley, and Xiang Chu is in O'Neal's lineup.

They have Irving, Lillard, Klay Thompson, and Walker who are definitely good outsiders. Xiang Chu really wants to try what it feels like to cooperate with a group of you than outsiders.

"Dude, you won't grab the best player today, right?" Someone joked when he appeared on the practice field.

"Why don't you let me forget this time." Farid also laughed.

Farid just followed up and said that he didn't actually have any ideas.

Unlike last season, Xiang Chu's status in the arena is completely different. His current opponents are not these young people, so the grievances of last season have not been found for a long time.

Xiang Chu also discovered a problem. He is indeed not at the same level as these young people now.
