The strongest basket king

Chapter 381 Hell Difficulty

Chandler and Gallinari are also old acquaintances. They came from New York together, and there must be no conflict between the two.

Chandler is even more upset about Fournier and Middleton, two young people, why should he be a substitute.

This is actually related to Xiang Chu. If there is no Xiang Chu as the inside core, Chandler can start, but now the team needs players with more pure functions to cooperate with Xiang Chu.

In addition, Chandler belongs to the lottery that has been scratched, and there are no surprises.

The players that the team wants to keep in the summer, Chandler has to be in the back.

He is versatile, but he is proficient in none of them.

Now it can be said that the conflict broke out in advance. Xiang Chu invited Chandler to have a drink. As long as it does not affect the team's record, he has no objection to the players fighting for their interests.

Chandler also said that he will definitely not mess around on the court, but he will definitely ask the team for an explanation.

On Jan. 1, when the Celtics visited, the Nuggets still started Gallinari.

Gallinari's previous truce was not due to surgical injuries. The team has determined that his previous injuries have recovered. As a quasi-All-Star player, he is also one of the people the team wants to keep.

The Celtics had a very unsatisfactory start. They traded Rondo out and completely rebuilt.

The core players who once won the championship have now been completely dealt with.

The business league is not just talk, the team will only pay attention to the value of the players, so in many cases, the interests of the players and the team are not consistent.

The Celtics are also playing as a team now. Their head coach Stevens basically helped them with the college style. There are coaches who have done this before, but they have not been very successful.

Facing the Nuggets, the Celtics used two short insiders, Bass and Sullinger.

Both of them can pull out to shoot, and they are very powerful, but this strength is not enough for Xiang Chu.

After several years of training, Xiang Chu's strength is still strong even if he does not use it, definitely exceeding the average level of the same position, and now he is moving towards the top level.

The Celtics pulled out the inside and hit two goals, but they were also beaten a bit by Xiang Chu.

They will soon be able to replace only the tall Tyler Zeller, but Taylor Zeller will not be able to fight.

The Celtics' style is not to entangle the insiders. When they encounter a team with insiders, they can only make some sacrifices.

The main reason is that the offensive performance of their two outsiders, Bradley and Turner, was only average, so the Nuggets quickly gained the lead.

The substitutes on both sides played a little messy. For the Nuggets, Williams and Chandler took the singles shot. Chandler said that it would not affect the game, but it seemed that he was still a little eager to prove himself.

The Celtics' better role players are all inside, and the inside Nuggets are relatively strong. Mozgov is gone, but Nurkic is also good, and they can't take advantage.

So even if Turner hit a few good shots in the second quarter, the Nuggets have always been in control of the situation.

There are also many teams in the league that don't play stars. The main reason is that there are not many stars who can support the scene, and the team plays well and can enter the playoffs at a low cost.

It's just that such a team is difficult to compete against a star of Xiang Chu's level.

The current problem of the Nuggets is still a small injury. There were too many players before and the coaches picked it up. Unexpectedly, it feels a bit insufficient now.

Some players were originally just filling in for vacancies, but now they want to increase their playing time, which also needs to be adjusted.

Although some performances were not very good, the Nuggets still led by 10 points in the first half.

Team strength and confidence are not the same, and the Nuggets are not struggling to play most teams in the league.

If their goal is not to defend the title, the current state can be said to be very good.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets encountered a challenge.

Bradley came to the touch and hit several goals in a row. If it is not a surprise for him, Jae Crowder's outbreak is unexpected.

Jae Crowder scored the highest score in a single quarter with a 100% shooting rate, and the contrast between the two sides has thus narrowed.

The outbreak of the X factor is the most helpless. The Nuggets will not focus on defensive points at all.

When the opponent starts to score, they will think it is a special case, and when they react, the score will be a little hurt.

However, this kind of inability to hold the ball can definitely be limited after targeted defense.

The current problem for the Celtics is that there are too few points capable of singles. They can get opportunities by relying on various screen cooperation, but sometimes they are easy to be cut off.

If they want to perform this season, they must trade.

But their biggest problem in this game is the inside line. Salinger made four fouls in the third quarter, and Zeller's rebounding ability is really poor. If someone hadn't exploded, they would definitely kneel.

After entering the rotation, everyone is still in the same boat, but regardless of whether Xiang Chu is on the court or not, the Nuggets' rebounding ability is very good.

When Xiang Chu went off to rest, the Nuggets also stabilized their lead.

After he played again, Sullinger committed six fouls in a few minutes, and the Nuggets' lead once again came to double digits.

The Celtics Bradley stood up again. He hit consecutive three-pointers and once again helped the team narrow the score gap to single digits.

But game time has dwindled, and that's about all Bradley can do.

The Nuggets finally left Faried at the fourth position on the court. He and Xiang Chu dunked with an offensive rebound, which completely shattered the Celtics' hope of chasing points.

After Bradley forcibly missed another shot, the Celtics did not force it. After the Nuggets returned to the home court, they started the winning streak again.

The Nuggets now have to wait for a chance to catch up with the Warriors and become No. [-] in the West, but the Trail Blazers have lost streak, and their No. [-] in the West is getting more and more stable.

The Warriors and the Nuggets are in the first place in the West now. As for the other two positions in the top four, it is really hard to see who can secure the position. There are six teams behind with very close records.

There was also such a fierce competition in the Western Conference last season, but at that time it was the top three in the West, and now there are only two top teams, but there are a few teams that are also very threatening.

The situation in the East has changed even more. The Raptors, who performed well in the past, have become mediocre, but the Eagles, who have been indifferent since the beginning, have been winning streak and are now the only one in the East.

The Cavaliers are still struggling, and they have been ridiculed by the media during this period.

James did not do well in the late stage of the All-Star voting game, and it is estimated that he was also dragged down by the record.

Now there are several teams in the Eastern Conference with very close records, and the Wizards temporarily occupy the second place in the Eastern Conference.

On November 11, the Wizards came to Denver.

The Wizards are playing better and better now, and the Nuggets must pay attention to it, but no matter what team comes to Denver, it will be hell difficult to take away the victory. This is by no means bragging.
