Chapter 353 The Sixth Person
In the game against the Lakers, Lou Williams exploded and beat Nick Young.
Of course, although both of them are sixth men, they are not in the same position, they just play a bit similarly.
These singles players in the league have similar attributes, their defense is not up to standard, and they often lock the pass key.
If it is not used well, it will be harmful to the team. There are many such players in the league, but now only the Nuggets' Louis Williams and the Clippers' Crawford are more compatible with the team.
The Knicks' JR was only good for one season, and Nick Young was always close.
In fact, these players can only perform better in strong teams. The premise is that the coach must clearly tell them what to do, and they are willing to do so.
On the Cavaliers side, Waiters felt a little unwilling to obey.
Of course, Lou Williams is still good and can pass the ball, although timing issues make his point guard more like a shooting guard.
He's in the Nuggets, and George Karl will keep an eye on him at any moment to keep him from getting too high.
Because the only offensive core of the Nuggets is Xiang Chu, Williams does not need to assume too important a role.
When he was playing well, George Karl would give Xiang Chuduo a break.
The rest of the team's main players are not very good as a substitute, and Williams also makes up for this link. If he can be more stable, the Nuggets will be stronger.
Of course, if he performs too well, I don't know if the Nuggets can keep him next season.
For the Lakers, substitute player Wayne Ellington also performed well, but the Nuggets still led by more than 10 points before the intermission.
In the locker room, Kobe was also extremely upset. He didn't like losing too much.
In order to win, he can play without the ball, or give up a certain amount of possession. He is willing to do anything, but he has no patience. As long as the situation is not right, he will return to the mode of taking over the game.
But because of his body and age, he really can't do what he used to.
In the third quarter, Kobe did not continue to play hard, and the Lakers let Jeremy Lin play a pick-and-roll with the ball.
Jeremy Lin is also a player whose strength is not stable enough, but when he feels good with the ball, he is indeed a threat.
When Jeremy Lin hits again and again, the Lakers also have a tendency to chase points.
But in less than half a quarter, Ed Davis had made five fouls, and the Lakers still couldn't solve Xiang Chu.
It was already the limit for them to be able to attack against attack, and it was the same when Thackeray came up. Even if Thackeray was heavier, he was really not enough in front of Xiang Chu.
The Lakers' trend of chasing points also came to an abrupt end due to problems inside. Driven by Xiang Chu, Knight also played well on the outside. Jeremy Lin's weakness was that he couldn't lock up opponents on the outside.
When Williams and Chandler came up, the Nuggets' rotation lineup once again overwhelmed each other.
At the end of the quarter, Kobe turned on the singles mode again.
The Nuggets didn't flank, they used Chandler as the main defense and tried to force Kobe out.
With Kobe's current body, it may be difficult to attack Xiang Chu. Most of his shots are completed from the outside. Under such circumstances, his shooting percentage is not very high.
In the figure of Kobe's hard work, the Nuggets won four consecutive victories.
After the game, the head coach of the Lakers, Byron Scott, was still stubborn, saying that they were only affected by injuries, and when Nick Young's players adjusted their condition, they would definitely win.
His mentality is much better than D'Antoni's, but in Los Angeles, it is certain to be sprayed.
Jeremy Lin also has a deep understanding of this. He has stayed in New York where the situation is more serious, but he still has not adapted to this environment.
After the game, Jeremy Lin and Xiang Chu exchanged information for a long time.
For the players who are also Chinese, Xiang Chu also sincerely gave advice, let Jeremy Lin try to change his style, Jeremy Lin is also not short of money, it is better to build himself into a jigsaw puzzle of the championship team, and work hard on defense and off the ball.
And when you are on the court, you have to be aggressive and do what you want.
A dozen games have been played since the start of the new season, and the current situation in the league is somewhat unexpected.
Last season's top three in the Western Conference did not rank first in the Western Conference. The Thunder are not bad. The Nuggets and Spurs are not even the top four in the Western Conference.
Although there were many surprises at the beginning of the season, the situation in the West is indeed something that everyone did not expect.
Now the best results are the Warriors and Grizzlies. Among them, the combat power shown by the Warriors after changing coaches feels like the Nuggets last season.
There are more changes in the East. Now the Raptors have the best record. The Heat after James left and the Cavaliers he is currently in are not ranked for the time being.
The new All-Star voting will start soon, and Xiang Chu still hopes that the results will be better. By then, the All-Star voting will beat the crowd, and the popularity value can also be harvested.
Speaking of which, his popularity this season is rising faster than last season, and he plans to upgrade his magic skills after he has acquired all his magic skills. As his strength increases, the Nuggets' road to defending the title will become smoother.
Back in Denver, Olivia was not at home, and Xiang Chu was still a little uncomfortable. After making a video call, Olivia felt a little bit disgusted with him when he was tired.
Xiang Chu practiced strength for an hour in grief and indignation, and felt much more relaxed.
On November 11, the Bulls came to challenge.
The Bulls got Gasol at a relatively cheap price in the summer, upgraded the inside line, and with Rose's comeback, they are also full of ambitions this season.
The Bulls' record at the beginning is not top-notch, but it is also very good.
In particular, Butler improved well in the summer, increasing the strength of the Bulls' front line. Their rookie Mirotic is also an immediate combat power. After running in, he may have a chance to break out of the East.
The new season has not started long, but the outside world already believes that there may be changes in the East and West this season.
If the West is said to be a pack of heroes, the East is in chaos. Last season, one of the two strong teams lost its core and the other was injured. Other teams will definitely have a chance.
The Bulls have indeed shown their fighting power now. When they meet the Nuggets, they also want to try to beat the defending champion.
But their lineup is incomplete, and Noah is on a truce.
Without Noah, it will definitely be more difficult for the Bulls to face Xiang Chu, but Noah is not a pure meat shield, they will suffer when they meet the Nuggets at the fifth position.
The current strength of the Bulls is no longer Rose, although Rose is still quite strong.
They are now able to score from the front line, Butler plus Gasol, and Mirotic on the bench.
So as soon as the game started, the Nuggets suffered a strong impact at the third and fourth positions.
The Nuggets' outside line is relatively slow this time, and the Bulls have begun to take some advantage.
But in the paint, Xiang Chu played too comfortably. Gasol and the Bulls' starting center, rookie Ballstow, are both weak in strength. Have a great time.
