"How is it during this time? Are you still used to it in the team?" Xiang Chu asked.
Before going to the away game, Jeremy Lin came to Xiang Chu's house as a guest, and the two also planned to communicate.
Jeremy Lin was in a good mood after winning the game, "Very good, I feel that my confidence in the game has completely returned, and my physical condition is also improving."
"It is still in the running-in stage, and we will get better and better in the future." Xiang Chu said with a smile, "Your role in the team may become better, or it may not change. I can't guarantee this."
"But one thing I can guarantee is that next summer you'll be paid what you're worth."
"No, Xiang Chu, you know I don't care about this." Jeremy Lin said hastily, "I like basketball, I just need a good platform to achieve my wish, making money is not my pursuit."
"This is not a conflict." Xiang Chu said, he still disagrees with Jeremy Lin's views.
Many of Jeremy Lin's ideas are somewhat idealistic, and Xiang Chu feels that he is a bit confused about reality.
He said: "There is no conflict between ideals and making money. This is a measure of the value of players by the league. Good players can get more salaries. This is a win-win situation and is fair to the league."
"In the same way, good players will get more attention, which is also fair. When we join the big family of the league, we must learn to respect the rules of the game."
"Of course, what our players have to do is to play well and be less disturbed."
"In Denver, you don't have to worry about other issues, let's work hard together."
In the end, the host and guest must have a good time, Jeremy Lin is not a lot of people, even if we can't become close friends, but it is no problem to become good teammates.
The Nuggets will play three away games next, including back-to-back away games, or two consecutive away games, which will not be easy.
On November 11, the Nuggets came to Phoenix.
The Sun spent some money in the summer, but the effect was only mediocre, and the start of the new season was neither good nor bad.
Not too bad for them, but not very competitive in the West.
The Suns are now also in the backcourt two-gun mode, but Dragic has become Knight.
Another thing the Suns should pay attention to is the bench. They also have good players in the rotation, but all the players are attacking from the outside, and the inside players are often pulled out. Although Chandler was introduced, they are still a pure outside team.
After the Nuggets played well, they kept suppressing the opponent for half a quarter.
But the team's outside line quickly had problems. Perhaps because of the back-to-back reasons, the team's outside line was all off-point, and they missed a few open three-pointers in the first quarter.
The Suns didn't have a good defense at first. After they noticed the abnormality of the Nuggets, they began to pinch Xiang Chu.
After the Suns have Chandler as a meat shield, the effect of flanking is still reflected.
At the end of the first quarter, Bledsoe scored 2 three-pointers in a row, and the Suns' lead came to double digits.
During the rotation time, the Suns continued to show off.New aid Teletovic, second-year student TJ-Warren, and this year's No. 13 pick, Devin Booker, all feel hot.
The Nuggets fell behind by 20 points in a short period of time, which was completely out of line with their previous performance.
It's not just the Nuggets who are a bit confused, but the sun is also a little bit confused. Are they so good?
After the team's main players played, they still couldn't feel the touch at all. Xiang Chu even grabbed a few offensive rebounds, but it just kept the score from continuing to open.
Worst half of the season since the start of the new season, and by halftime all players were in a bad mood.
In this situation, George Karl is not easy to scold. In the third quarter, the Nuggets finally became a lot more normal.
At the beginning, the Suns still desperately pinched Xiang Chu, and then found that the Nuggets made a three-pointer from the outside. They quickly adjusted their defensive strategy, but the effect was not good.
It's just that the Nuggets didn't recover many points, and the Suns' backcourt still played well in the third quarter.
In the first half of the Suns, Bledsoe played well, and Knight was almost in a downturn with his old teammates.
But in the third quarter, Knight came alive and completely suppressed Jeremy Lin.
Knight's defense is good, but Jeremy Lin is more difficult to deal with.
Jeremy Lin's strength, if not the core style of play, is actually not as good as a player like Knight.
The past two years of wandering have proved that Jeremy Lin is not yet capable of being an All-Star. There were many accidental factors in Linsanity at that time.
The Nuggets are playing better and better, but the hole in front is too big, it can only be said that they regained their form too late.
In the end, the Nuggets still lost the away game.
After the game, George Karl said: "The previous winning streak covered up some of the team's problems. We are still a team that is still running in. There is no excuse for losing."
Xiang Chu also said: "As a professional player, it is normal to lose and win. The important thing is that we have discovered the problems and then become better."
Knight half-jokingly said: "It feels great to win those guys... Well, they must be a little tired in back-to-back away games. With Xiang Chu, I believe the Nuggets will run in quickly."
"I also hope that the Suns can enter the playoffs and then play a series with them."
Losing is indeed acceptable, but the same mistakes cannot be made.
In addition to playing back-to-back away games, the previous winning streak also made the players too relaxed.
After the Suns, the Nuggets will play back-to-back away games, and George Karl makes the players ready.
It has not been a month since the start of the new season. The players' physical strength is not bad, but the rhythm is a bit problematic.
Having physical strength but fast consumption is the characteristic of the beginning of the season, and then in the middle of the season, if there is a problem with physical strength, it will also be consumed quickly, which is a stage where people are easily injured. By the end of the season, everyone will get used to it. The physical strength is not particularly good but it will not be consumed so quickly.
The team wants the players to be affected as little as possible, and their means of adjustment is scientific training.
Three days later, the Nuggets embarked on an away trip again. At this time, the players' condition had been adjusted well.
Their opponent this time is the Pelicans, who are at the bottom of the Western Conference. The Pelicans are competing with the Lakers for the bottom one. The two teams can be said to have entered a fever pitch.
Logically speaking, the Pelicans shouldn't be playing like this. They actually made significant progress last season.
They were willing to spend money in the summer, and the contract extension was not very ambiguous. Now Holiday and Davis are both here, but the team just can't stop the losing streak.
Facing the Nuggets, they even started with a small lineup, which feels like they are trying to die.
The Pelicans have changed coaches this season, and they started off like this, which makes people suspect that they have changed a bad coach.
Of course it was a joke. The Pelicans management invited Gentry to improve the offense. This buddy was also good at playing small lineups in the Suns, but now it seems that the offense has not improved much, but the team's defensive ability has dropped significantly.
I don't know if it was the pain of the running-in period, but their grades are a mess now.
The opponent continued to seek death with a small lineup, and Xiang Chu was not polite, and went up to teach him how to behave.
