Chapter 384 Shooting yourself in the foot

"Little Jordan made a mistake, Xiang Chu made a successful steal, a rare scene."

"We just got the data of Xiang Chu's physical test, but obviously he has improved a lot. His running speed is not at all like a big man with 2 meters 16."

"Nate, the key goal, he made this shot without making a sound."

"The game has entered the last minute. Do the Clippers still have a chance? The referee blew his whistle and signaled three free throws. Middleton was very helpless. Crawford got three free throws. The Clippers still have hope."

"The Clippers flanked Xiang Chu, Chandler! Chandler also hit the CIC."

"The Clippers brought in Redick after a timeout, and they were obviously going to shoot threes."

"There are 11 seconds left in the game, and there are only 9 seconds left in the game... 7 seconds, the Clippers still didn't get a shot... What's the matter, the Nuggets seem to have taken the initiative to foul."

"With five seconds left, the Nuggets gave the Clippers two free throws, probably George Karl, they had a three-point lead, and they didn't want Crawford to take a three-pointer. "

"As long as the free throw is made, the Clippers still have a chance to foul immediately... It is incredible that Crawford, who made all the shots in front, missed a free throw."

"The Clippers fouled on Gallinari, and the Nuggets are now leading by 2 points. Gallinari only needs to make one free throw to ensure that he will not be killed by the opponent... Gallinari made two free throws! He is also a big heart player."

"Falling behind by 4 points, the Clippers must shoot as quickly as possible. Crawford caught the ball and immediately shot a three-pointer... Oh, it was still a little short. The game was over, and the Nuggets won the game in a thrilling manner."

Everyone has discovered that the Nuggets are not weak at all back-to-back.

As for Xiang Chu's monster-like strength, the outside world has already adapted.

After Xiang Chu returned to the hotel after playing, he still had to make video calls with his wife. The time depended on his wife's mood. Sometimes Olivia fell asleep while dragging herself.

Before putting it on, Xiang Chu directly despised it. It would be better to do exercises together in video.

Now the pregnant wife is the biggest, and Xiang Chu dare not complain, otherwise he won't be able to comfort her in another city if she has big mood swings.

He is very satisfied with this kind of life, although he is full of energy in training, if he goes out to play late at night like some players, he will not be able to handle it.

In fact, there is nothing to say, everyone's life situation is different.

But if someone on the team affects the state of the game, Xiang Chu will definitely talk about it.

In the Nuggets, his words are very useful.

Xiang Chu also felt a little tired because he was going to play back-to-back away games one day, not to mention the others.

On January 1, the Nuggets came to New Orleans.

The Pelicans, the Suns, and the Thunder are all working hard for the top eight in the Western Conference.

If the Pelicans are all healthy, they may also have the strength of the playoffs, but their injuries have been constant, and Holiday has been injured again.

It's really a pity for Holiday. I thought he would grow into an All-Star regular before, but I didn't expect that he would have physical problems after coming to the Pelicans.

So things like injuries are really uncertain. Many people in their class thought that Curry would suffer from constant injuries under the intensity of the NBA. As a result, Curry is in a very good condition now, and there are many fans who have excellent results in leading the team.

For the current Pelicans, Davis is completely in charge, and both offensive and defensive ends are the team's strongest point.

With Asik as a meat shield, Davis can also devote more energy to the offensive end.

The Pelicans now also have Evans and Gordon on the outside, and Anderson on the bench, and their strength is not too weak. It's just that there are too many strong teams in the West, so they didn't make it into the top eight.

At the beginning of the game, the Pelicans can be said to be in a mess. Gordon kept hitting the iron on the outside. He missed a ball but made consecutive shots. Even the Pelicans' tactics were disrupted.

Miraculously, their head coach replaced Evans, who performed better.

I don't know what the opponent is worried about, but Davis must have the best offensive effect. He should play more resolutely.

Asik's meat shield is really not very qualified, and it didn't cause much trouble to Xiang Chu at all.

After the Nuggets Williams came off the bench, a wave of high-efficiency singles directly helped the team expand its lead to double digits.

Of course, the Nuggets maintained the lead at the beginning, and they exploded after the rotation came on the field.

The main players played in the second quarter. Under the pressure of losing points, Davis played more resolutely and well than in the first quarter, and the score gap between the two sides did not continue to widen.

Davis is definitely a problem for the Nuggets, and the Pelicans' preparations are obviously not enough.

The Pelicans' three-pointer is not particularly accurate, so during the intermission, the Nuggets decided to assist Davis in the second half, and the team's third position will execute it.

Anyway, Xiang Chu was sitting at the basket, and Davis didn't dare to come in.

If the opponent plays a small lineup and uses Davis to play five, Xiang Chu doesn't mind letting them know what it means to defend the gate. Xiang Chu can even switch defenses at the third position, let alone the fourth position.

In the third quarter, the efficiency of Davis, who was targeted, really dropped.

Gallinari actually has the height to defend the fourth position. If there are teammates to help defend, he is still stable in most fourth positions in the league.

This is one of the reasons why the team let him start, the rest of the Nuggets are too short.

But after Davis had a problem with this point, the Pelicans Evans exploded at this point.

Evans leads the guard, his body is very dominant, and it is really difficult to guard when the shot is accurate.

The key point is that he didn't expect him to explode suddenly, after all, he is the master who peaked after his debut and then regressed year by year.

Relying on Evans' performance in double figures in a single quarter, the Pelicans chased the score to only single digits.

But they still face a difficult choice now, that is, Asik's defensive Xiangchu is not very successful, whether to start a pure offensive lineup.

After all, their goal is also to win. The current lineup is likely to be ugly without losing, but they can't win.

There is nothing wrong with betting that a weak team wins a strong team. It's just nine out of ten bets.

The Pelicans replaced Anderson again and let him partner with Davis inside, hoping that he can open up the offensive end.

However, it is not difficult for Gallinari to limit Anderson. When he does not appear as an X factor, but when the team needs him to score from the outside, it is difficult for him to get easy shots.

Instead, the Pelicans put Davis in the fifth position, and he had problems on both offense and defense.

In front of Xiang Chu, Davis weighed too little.

When the Pelicans realized that their offensive lineup would eventually be the result of being unable to attack and defend, the situation was irreparable. The Nuggets held a double-digit lead and Xiang Chu, a big killer, and did better defensively. good.

The Pelicans are tantamount to shooting themselves in the foot, completely cutting off the possibility of winning the game.
