The strongest basket king

Chapter 386

Chapter 386

January started comfortably, but finally came to a dismal end.

There have been a lot of criticisms from the outside world, and others don't care about the reasons. Losing is a crime.

Moreover, even Nuggets fans are worried, and many people don't understand the matter of trading Chandler.

Compared with Mozgov's deal, Chandler's deal is definitely not profitable.

You must know that in the playoffs, Chandler played a greater role than Mozgov.

But for the Nuggets, this is a win-win deal, they will definitely not keep Chandler next season.

After playing these games, the Nuggets players can finally relax a little for two days.

If it's just training, it still consumes a lot less than playing games.

Olivia is in good health. Although she has a big belly, she didn't struggle too much.

It's just that when Xiang Chu was in Denver, Olivia must be clingy. In her words, she couldn't be bored alone.

Xiang Chu sometimes bullies and bullies her, pinching her face and so on, coaxing her back when she is really angry is considered a joy in life.

Xiang Chu likes such a simple life, and he will feel tired if it is too complicated.

Like training, it is actually a very monotonous thing, but he will not feel so tired.

When the time came to February, in fact, the Nuggets lost and did not widen the gap with the Warriors.

The Warriors also lost. In addition to losing to the Bulls, they also lost to the rebuilding Jazz.

With such a long season, any team will lose unexpectedly, just accept the lesson.

There are still two months left in the regular season, and then there will be the playoffs. It is unpredictable who will have the last laugh at that time.

With new players coming, Xiang Chu treated guests as usual.

Dudley is also a substitute in the Bucks, and there will certainly be no conflicts about starting. He is still happy to be able to join a strong team.

In addition, the team's injury situation has improved. Both Belinelli and Dunleavy are recovering well, and Belinelli is also ready to come back.

At the beginning of February, the Nuggets will play back-to-back away games again.

Their schedule this month is still relatively tight, but there is an All-Star Weekend to make adjustments in the middle, and Xiang Chu believes that the team will achieve good results.

On February 2, the Nuggets went to Philadelphia to play against the 3ers.

For the 76ers, it was another bad year. They have selected many rookies in the past two years and are still training.

And their rookies are not going smoothly. Last year's No. 6 pick Nerlens Noel can play, and this year's No. 3 pick Embiid has to recover from his injuries.

The 76ers are rebuilding anyway, and they are not in a hurry.

After a few years of poor performance, how can you find a few young talents? The NBA's draft system basically does not lose money if it is poor. This is why there are teams that do not work hard every season.

But they are the best basketball league in the world, there is really no way.

The strongest point of the 76ers now is the second-year McAway, but this buddy is also the type who is at the peak when he debuts. This season has not played as well as last season.

The 76ers even gave up Holiday, and it is estimated that McAway will stay in the 76ers for a long time.

It is not difficult to select a few rookies who can play, but to select the cornerstone of the team, it really needs some vision and luck. I don't know when the 76ers will rebuild.

At the beginning of the game, both sides played well on offense.

Although McAway's shooting is a bit eye-catching, his organizational skills are still good, and the 76ers can be said to be blooming more.

The 76ers' defense can be said to be much better than last season. Noll's defense is good, and Covington at the fourth position is also able to defend and shoot.

Their current problem is that they are not strong enough, and they are a little tender.

Like an insider, Xiang Chu's strength is not something that the young Noel can resist.

It only took half a quarter for Xiang Chu to let Noel commit two fouls to rest, while the opponent's substitute, Henry Sims, was a bit short.

The Nuggets led most of the quarter until Sixers substitute Hollis Thompson came on.

This buddy is also a sophomore, a relatively average [-]D player.

The Nuggets didn't notice him at all. They didn't expect him to hit 4 three-pointers in a row, scoring 100 points with a 19% shooting rate, and this year's rookie McDaniels also shot surprisingly well.

The 76ers went ahead and led by double digits, and the Nuggets were a little confused.

Is it so aggressive? Is this game going to end again?

Xiang Chu was also a little depressed. Their opponents who lost a few games really seemed to have cheated. It was too much for the X factor to say that it exploded.

"Attention, everyone must concentrate." Xiang Chu was also a little anxious during the intermission.

The other players were also a little ashamed. It was a shame that they were held down by a bad team.

In the second half, they said they couldn't do this anymore.

As soon as the third quarter started, Xiang Chu turned on the berserk mode and directly dunked Noel.

Middleton and Gallinari also showed momentum, complementing Xiang Chu on the outside, and the score gap between the two teams quickly narrowed to single digits.

In fact, it is indeed a bit of a coincidence that the 76ers played like this in the first half.

They don't have a strong scoring point at all, and McAway basically just distributes the ball.

After the substitute players Hollis Thompson and McDaniels who showed off in front were taken care of by the Nuggets, they couldn't continue to score points like chopping vegetables.

And the Nuggets' rotation lineup finally showed its strength. Needless to say, Williams, Dudley, who played for the Nuggets for the first time, also seamlessly connected with the team, hitting two consecutive goals.

A player of Dudley's style should have no problem integrating into the Nuggets' system.

In just one quarter, the Nuggets narrowed the score gap to only 4 points.

The Nuggets didn't use their physical strength to fight hard on the court. If they had to use their strength to deal with the 76ers, they would not be worthy of the title of defending champion.

At the end of the quarter, the comeback Belinelli also hit 2 three-pointers, and the Nuggets caught up with the score before Xiang Chu played.

After Xiang Chu came on the court, he once again took Noel in a low position, and the Nuggets took the lead.

The 76ers were very unwilling at this time. They thought they could beat the defending champion.

McAway started a personal offense, and the team also arranged for Covington to play the fourth position of the Nuggets.

It's just that their efficiency is not very high, and they are not considered offensive players.

But the tactics are still played out. As young people who have entered the NBA family, the 76ers players don't want to lose every game, they want to fight again.

Xiang Chu appreciates their hard work, but he will definitely take away the victory of the game.

At the last moment, McAway and Covington both shot consecutive three-pointers, while the Nuggets played steadily and used Xiang Chu's matchup advantage to help the team score points after doing a good job of defense.

At 1 minute and 44 seconds, Gallinari hit a three-pointer and the Nuggets led by 8 points.

As Xiang Chu blocked McAway's play, the victory was established.

The Nuggets may capsize in the gutter, but it is not a small ditch to have a chance. The 76ers are still a little tender.
