Chapter 170 Crow's Mouth
"Xiang Chu was unstoppable, Garnett fouled again, and the Celtics had to make a substitution within 5 minutes of the second half."
"Just like in the All-Stars, Garnett has been completely unable to resist the young Xiang Chu."
"The Nuggets easily overtook the score, and the Celtics fell into a scoring drought. They must have someone stand up."
The Nuggets' outside line is still strong, and Iguodala still hasn't scored a point, and he didn't even hit a free throw, but Gallinari still seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the Celtics' defensive attention all on Xiang Chu. Hit 2 three-pointers, helping the team completely determine the lead.
The Nuggets quickly led to double digits, but at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics relied on the bench to narrow the gap to single digits.
Jeff Green was like a godsend. He scored consecutively and almost helped the Celtics overtake the score.
George Karl quickly paused and replaced Xiang Chu in advance.
Xiang Chu went up and hit the basket twice to stabilize the situation, and the momentum of the Celtics stopped instantly.
The Celtics are used to playing a small lineup this season, but they were in a difficult situation when Xiang Chu came up. The traditional inside line was also abused, and the small lineup was even more abused. They couldn't solve this problem at all.
Last time they relied on various three-pointers to continue their lives, and this time they also wanted to, but in the last few minutes, their three-pointers didn't work.
Xiang Chu's biggest feature is his stability. Sometimes even if the ball doesn't go in, he still has a way to grab offensive rebounds. As long as the Celtics don't score in a few rounds, their previous efforts will be turned into water.
At 2 minutes and 38 seconds, Xiang Chu grabbed the offensive rebound again and scored the ball. The Nuggets led by 7 points. The Celtics had no choice but to switch to a purely small lineup for the last fight.
With Pierce's three-pointer missing, they had no choice but to accept the fact that the team failed.
After the game, Rivers didn't have the demeanor of the last time at all. He seemed very upset and accused the players of not trusting each other. On the contrary, George Karl was in high spirits.
"We played well, maybe we can win a championship."
This is the difference between winning and losing. Only by winning the game can you be graceful.
The reporter also asked about Xiang Chu's all-star status. Xiang Chu said with a smile: "That is in the past. What I want to do now is to help the team get a good ranking before the playoffs."
"Andre, Danilo and Wilson are all back healthy and ready to go."
Next, the Nuggets will play back-to-back away games. Before that, Xiang Chu will represent the team to participate in a charity event.
NBA players are also celebrities. It is necessary to organize some activities to give back to their supporters. In a mature business league, the image of players is very important.
"Hi, Overlord." As soon as he got out of the car, fans greeted him.
A big man like him is easy to be noticed as soon as he goes out.
Some fans are well-informed and have long known that the Nuggets players will come to do charity, so they rushed over.
Xiang Chu greeted the fans naturally, playing well means having confidence.
In fact, some time ago, Xiang Chu also held a small fan meeting for the advertisement. Some fans are very tough online, but now they are a little shy online.
Xiang Chu came out to engage in public welfare activities on behalf of the team, and the fans would not be too enthusiastic to cause interference.
He is also getting used to the life of becoming a star player, although it is a little inconvenient to go out with Olivia.
"Hey, Xiang, why are you so good." A cute little loli came over and asked.
Xiang Chu immediately showed a friendly smile, "Because I train hard, I will become powerful."
"Can we also become that powerful?" A group of children gathered around.
In the public welfare activities, there is a link of teaching children to play, and there are many children present.
Xiang Chu is a kind person. Of course, he should give the little ones some hope. He said solemnly: "Of course, as long as you work hard enough, you will become excellent. God is the fairest."
A group of little guys all fantasized about becoming powerful in the future, and giggled.
Participating in public welfare activities is also a bit tiring, but it is different from the tiredness of training. It is actually quite good to experience a different life, provided that you do it occasionally.
On February 2, the Nuggets played away against the Wizards.
After the All-Star break, the Wizards' lineup, which was devastated by illness, was sorted out.
They have no hope of the playoffs, but there are good young people in the team, the pair of Wall and Bill, the Nuggets have to be very careful.
In terms of inside, neither Nene nor Okafor will be Xiang Chu's opponent. Now it depends on whether the Nuggets' outside can play stably in the away game.
The Nuggets didn't start well. Bill and Webster each hit a three-pointer, and the Wizards quickly gained the advantage.
Iguodala and Gallinari were inaccurate, and it was difficult for Xiang Chu to fight against the entire team inside.
But Ty Lawson felt okay, and after realizing it, he joined forces with Xiang Chu to fight back.
As long as the team has an outside line to stand up, Xiang Chu is very used to it.
In the second half, the Nuggets finally caught up with the score steadily.
When the Wizards don't have a three-point shot, it's safer to be the Nuggets with a strong inside.
But after the bench lineup came up, the Wizards' AJ-Price hit another three-pointer. As the Nuggets made zero three-pointers, they still entered the second quarter with a backward attitude.
The Nuggets' main lineup played averagely, but the bench lineup played well.
AJ-Price hit 4 three-pointers and they all resisted. Chandler, Miller Sr. and Brewer all played at normal levels, helping the team keep biting the score.
On the contrary, the main force of the Wizards, who had a rest for a while, lost their continuous attack power. Except for Bill and Webster hitting three-pointers again, they did not make any achievements.
The Nuggets have a headache for three-pointers, but there are only three-pointers and not enough data.
At the last moment of the first half, Xiang Chu scored two consecutive offensive rebounds, which also helped the team enter the intermission with a leading attitude.
The opponent threw 8 three-pointers in the first two quarters. It seems that the Nuggets' defensive problems do not need to be emphasized again. The players are very clear.
In the third quarter, the Nuggets wanted to strengthen their perimeter defense, but a tragedy happened. Their defense was not completely protected, but their offense was still alive and kicking.
Only Xiang Chu scored for the entire quarter, but the Wizards scored more points, and the Nuggets fell behind by double digits.
Xiang Chu also had some doubts, whether he was a crow's mouth.
Whenever he said in front of reporters that the team was about to start, there would always be unexpected situations.
In the fourth quarter, the Wizards' substitute Ariza showed off again. When Xiang Chu played again, the team was already 20 points behind.
He has no choice but to continue his double-double record to find a little comfort, Xiang Chu can only complain a few words on social media.
After all, he was on the road, and he didn't have a girlfriend to comfort him.
