Chapter 519 The record is approaching

Returning to the home court again, Xiang Chu is very happy. Although there are many away games during this period, there will be some home games in between, and the situation will be much better.

The Nuggets are getting closer and closer to the first consecutive winning streak in the league's regular season history, and they have been exposed to the spotlight recently, no less than the exposure rate of several big cities.

Xiang Chu is very familiar with this situation, and also talked with the younger brothers, telling them how to deal with it.

A team with a high winning rate will have a good atmosphere, and young players will always learn how to face the disturbances from the outside world. Xiang Chu just tries to make them avoid detours.

The most important thing for the team is to pay attention to injuries. Their lineup is very strong, but injuries can destroy everything.

In this regard, Xiang Chu pays special attention even if he has cheats. If he is so strong, he will be too depressed if he is injured.

A strong body can allow players to reduce the chance of injury, Xiang Chu is a two-pronged approach.

When the Nuggets returned to play at home, it was already February, and no matter what they did, time always passed quickly.

In the first game in February, the Nuggets will face the real Eastern powerhouse Raptors, who are now second in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors don't look like a championship, but their team with Lowry and DeRozan as the core is getting more and more stable in the East, and Valanciunas is also a good iron triangle.

The Raptors now have two All-Stars, and it's okay if there are more players in the tank and three-pointers.

Why do they have such a record that they are not like a championship, because these configurations of them are all low-end, and they played well in the regular season in the Eastern Conference. It is hard to imagine their appearance.

The Nuggets twin towers showed their strength at the beginning of the game. Valanciunas is not bad, but the confrontation is almost meaningless. As for the Raptors' No. [-] Scola this season, the defense is even more difficult.

Xiang Chu and Jokic didn't encounter too much trouble at all, and they just went straight to the inside.

The Raptors' trick is to pull out inside. Scola hit a three-pointer, but compared to the point lost on the defensive end, a three-pointer didn't stop bleeding at all.

Therefore, what the Raptors can play now is double shots in the backcourt.

However, Lowry's state is not very good. Lowry is the kind of guard with relatively good overall ability and good scoring ability, but mainly he can only abuse food, and he played very average against the Nuggets.

DeRozan's side is okay, and he has back and forth with Middleton, but this buddy belongs to the type that can't kill people.

This buddy is superstitious about mid-range and doesn't shoot three-pointers at all, even if he can hit Middleton a few times, it doesn't matter.

The Nuggets have a strong inside advantage this season. Apart from Xiang Chu, Jokic and Nurkic are both good. If they want to beat their team, they must open three-pointers from the outside, so the Raptors want to rely on DeRozan to play The world is basically impossible.

During the rotation time, the performance of the Raptors was neither good nor bad, but the Nuggets' substitute group who returned to the home court performed well.

The main force in front is only slightly behind. Now that the gap between the two teams continues to widen, the Raptors are a little nervous.

Now any team is interested in beating the Nuggets, especially the strong teams in the East and West, which will have a good response to the morale improvement of the team.

Moreover, the battle between strong teams is also a test of the lineup.

There is no such thing as a strategy that only likes to abuse food and give up when encountering a strong team, but it is extremely rare.

The team's performance is very important, but in the final analysis, the fans still have to buy it. If it is not for the poor performance, the team owner will not allow the team to admit defeat, which will affect the team's value.

Therefore, the main force of the Raptors played very hard after they came back. For example, they went all out on the defensive end and then fought rounds. Valanciunas and Biyombo at the fifth position worked very hard, although the effect was not particularly good.

But on the offensive end, the Raptors really have some problems. Their good record is mainly due to their better combination of offense and defense. On the offensive end alone, they are actually not as good as many teams.

The point they are most confident about now is DeRozan. The Nuggets' defense has disrupted many of the opponent's tactical coordination, so the second quarter is basically looking for opportunities for DeRozan to play singles.

DeRozan's performance did not disappoint the coach's trust, but the Raptors could not rely on DeRozan's performance in double figures in a single quarter to narrow the gap in the score. By the end of the first half, the Nuggets had already led by double digits.

"Good job, it's cool to be in our territory."

"Haha, the boss is right. It's cool to be in our own territory, but we can also win away games."

"Because we're the best team, we have to remember that anytime we're on the field, we're going to be focused."

"Don't worry boss, we will do well..."

During the intermission, the Raptors were dead, but the Nuggets were very happy.

Can strength bring happiness, of course, victory is happiness, and losing will not have a good atmosphere.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets still had the same defensive strategy. The Raptors had already formulated a strategy at halftime, but they found that they couldn't do anything in the game.

Lowry was too tough this time, and the inside line was abolished by the Nuggets. Raptors coach Dwayne Casey felt too difficult.

In the end, the Raptors' offense became DeRozan's singles.

DeRozan's efficiency is still the same, neither high nor low, and he alone cannot lead the team to chase points.

The Nuggets can kill the Raptors just by showing off their two insiders.

The score gap continued to widen. When the Nuggets' advantage came to 20+, the Raptors gave up.

Coach Casey couldn't bear the weakness of the main lineup on the offensive end, so he simply replaced them all.

It's just that the Raptors' bench lineup is also weak, so the game has become garbage time.

Xiang Chu and Jojic scored 51 points in three quarters and clocked in happily.

Harris also played well after the substitute lineup came on the court. Several young people Josh Richardson, Norman Powell, and TJ McConnell all scored, including the fringe man Seth Curry also hit a three-pointer .

The Nuggets have won so many games in a row, and there is really not much garbage time in the whole quarter. These young people are also suffocated, and they try their best to perform on the court.

They are all very hard-working young players, and after playing, everyone except Powell played as a team. They basically played the team's tactics during practice. Xiang Chu thinks that after a year of experience, they should be able to compete with them next season. Like his predecessor Gary Harris, he has been greatly improved.

The Nuggets also successfully won 31 consecutive victories, which is really not far from the first consecutive record of 33 consecutive victories.

Xiang Chu also said in an interview: "Yes, I have said several times that I don't care about the winning streak, but if we still win the next game, we will definitely hit the record."

"Any record in the league is an honor worth looking forward to. It's just that the team has a long-term team building goal and will not deliberately pursue it. But if there is a chance, all the players of the team will go all out to keep the honor for the team."
