The resilience of the Blazers this season is indeed worthy of respect. In the case of a major change in the lineup, their players quickly twisted into one rope and fought for victory.
The Trail Blazers and Nuggets fought until the last 2 minutes, and after the two main insiders committed six offenses, the score they insisted on collapsed helplessly.
They earned respect with their performance, but the victory belongs to the Nuggets.
Another back-to-back winning streak, and a new Nuggets record 17-game winning streak.
George Karl said proudly after the game: "I knew they could do it. They have unparalleled strength. I am very glad that I can be the coach of this group of young people."
The Nuggets' style of play has changed this season, but it looks more like a strong team in the league.
Middleton and Gallinari accounted for a larger proportion, a bit like the Big Three. In addition, the emergence of Joji's strange army made people feel like seeing the super twin towers again.
The point is, with the exception of Gallinari, the others are young enough that the Nuggets are not just a few years of threat.
Xia Tian thought that their lineup would be silent for two seasons, but they were still very strong.
The players who left also performed well, but they didn't have the feeling of a championship puzzle at all.
The Nuggets have an invincible team because of Xiang Chu. They are really lucky.
How lucky they are, how unlucky the Lakers are, it is estimated that they will be remembered for a lifetime.
Although the Nuggets played away games after that, there were two days to adjust. Xiang Chu left the time outside of training for his family.
Starting a family is completely different from being single, and there will be concerns in my heart.
During this period of time, the competition was too intensive, and Xiang Chu recalled the comfort at home many times during the period.
"It's a new record. Your fans are so excited. You should really organize a few fan events."
Xiang Chu is at home, Olivia is very excited, but there is a problem with the direction.
Xiang Chu was a little speechless, "Let Jim organize it. He must have no time. Aren't you preparing for investment? Why do you still have so much time to spend on the Internet?"
"Who am I? I've already prepared it, okay? Now, as long as I find a suitable project, I'll show you my strength." Olivia said triumphantly.
Xiang Chu hugged her with one hand, "Okay, but let me see your strength in another aspect first."
Olivia giggled, and the two got bored together immediately.
The little one had fun in the safe "playground" surrounded by the fence, and grew up healthily.
And there is good news from the Nuggets that Nurkic can finally come back.
If Nurkic can play, the Nuggets' inside line will be perfect, and Xiang Chu and Jokic can also take a little more rest every game.
It is good for the Nuggets to play three rebounds inside, and other teams can only be aggrieved in this regard.
The time came to January 1, and the Nuggets went to an away game against the Timberwolves.
Minnesota's insider Pekovic has also returned, but the Timberwolves, who focus on training newcomers, no longer have the position of the former main insider.
Pekovic was completely ruined by injuries, otherwise his career in the NBA would have been much better.
Nurkic on the Nuggets also has a tendency to be a glass man, and the team is also very careful.
However, Nurkic is younger and lighter, so paying more attention should not be a big problem.
The inside weight is indeed a dangerous aspect. Although Jokic is a little fat, he is much lighter than Nurkic. Nurkic belongs to the kind with a big skeleton.
Heavy players are prone to injury if they don't have a strong enough body support. As a big center, Xiang Chu is actually not very heavy. In addition, he pays great attention to maintenance in this area and has cheats.
In the first quarter, the Nuggets have a huge advantage inside, and the Timberwolves are also good inside. Their current strength is Downs at the fifth position, but they can't play against Xiang Chu at all.
As for Wiggins, he was heavily guarded by the Nuggets when he came up.
And they didn't feel very good at the beginning, but Rubio stole two three-pointers while the defense didn't pay attention.
Rubio's shooting has been bad, and the three-pointer is not good. The Nuggets really didn't pay attention to this aspect.
But some players can always be accurate occasionally, and there is nothing they can do when they encounter them. Just keep an eye on them.
Rubio is a relatively comprehensive player, but it is not difficult to keep an eye on his shots. Every player has areas that he is not good at. To do a good job in defense, you only need to be targeted.
Of course, his sneak attack is just to keep the Timberwolves from being beaten.
The Nuggets are still ahead in terms of score. The Nuggets have too much restrictions on the Timberwolves. Xiang Chu directly strangled one of their strengths.
After entering the rotation, the Timberwolves did a good job. Pekovic was also an insider with a level of tens of millions before, and he wanted to perform well when he came back. When Xiang Chu was not on the court, he also had an advantage in weight inside.
On the Nuggets side, Nurkic also wanted to perform after playing. Jokic became the starter when he was new. Nurkic still has some ideas. If he wasn't injured, maybe the opportunity would be his.
He wants the team to see his strength, so he played harder when he came up.
Both played well, but Nurkic was a little anxious and not as efficient as the other.
But Nurkic also has his own advantage, that is, protecting the frame, he gave the opponent a big cap.
In terms of offense, Jeremy Lin's performance is also good. With Harris, West, Ingles and others, the Nuggets' bench lineup now has enough confidence.
The key is that their performance can be seamlessly connected with the Nuggets' main lineup.
After Xiang Chu played in the second quarter, the Nuggets completely suppressed the Timberwolves on the offensive end.
The Nuggets have twin towers inside, Middleton and Gallinari outside, and the Timberwolves are now playing well with Wiggins.
It's not a team at all. The Nuggets were met by the Timberwolves for the first time in the new season with a full lineup.
But the Timberwolves' defense is still relatively stable. They barely got beaten by slowing down the rhythm.
But the Nuggets must have a solid lead, and they led by 8 points at halftime.
8 points is not much in the NBA, mainly because the Timberwolves are completely suppressed on the scene, which is very ugly.
Maybe they played so hard because they wanted to show off the defending champion.
But the difference in strength is the difference in strength. By the third quarter, the opponent couldn't hold back.
The key to the Timberwolves is that their strengths cannot stand up and score. Although Prince and Martin both had short-lived performances, the stable performance of the Nuggets made their performance submerged in the game.
The Nuggets' lead has calmly reached double digits and continues to expand.
At the end of the quarter, the Timberwolves still had no one to stand up and score.
After half a quarter, the Nuggets' lead has reached 20+, and the game has entered garbage time. The Nuggets easily created a new winning streak.
