Chapter 521 Equaling the Alliance Record

Chapter 521 Equaling the Alliance Record

In the final quarter, the Jazz replaced the main force ahead of time and planned to fight, and Hayward and Favors also played well.

But to chase points from the Nuggets, playing well is far from enough, so the opponent is still suppressed.

This kind of suppression lasted until the end of the game, and the Jazz didn't get a single chance from the beginning to the end.

In fact, the Nuggets only won by ten points, but that kind of control on the scene can make opponents desperate.

The Nuggets have achieved 32 consecutive victories, and more and more attention from the outside world. Before Xiang Chu said that he would strive to win the record if he won 32 consecutive victories.

Whether it is tied or surpassed, it will be big news, so even if Xiang Chu didn't say it, the media would not let them go.

The Nuggets played at home after one day of adjustment, and the team they were going to play against was the Bulls.

The Bulls' performance this season has been flat, obviously not meeting expectations.

One is that the defense has plummeted after changing the head coach, and the other is that the combination of Rose, Butler and Gasol has not been as successful as expected, especially Rose and Butler are still somewhat incompatible after more than a season.

In this game, Gasol is still on truce, and the Bulls' inside combination has also become two short men, Taj Gibson and second-year student Cameron Ballstow.

After Noah's state declined and he fell into injury troubles, the Bulls' inside line has never been rich.

Many of the insiders they chose are flexible, and there are no big centers, so it will be more difficult to encounter a team with two towers like the Nuggets.

However, their main attack point is on the outside, and it seems that they also have a chance to fight.

The Bulls are short on the inside and not very high on the outside. At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets began to suppress three strong points.

Needless to say, Xiang Chu, Gallinari and Middleton also have advantages on the offensive end.

Especially Gallinari, with his height and style of play, it is difficult for ordinary players to defend him. It is not as exaggerated as Durant, but it can basically be said to be this model.

Butler's defense is good, but his wingspan is not enough. It is not easy to interfere with Gallinari's shooting.

On the Bulls' side, it's basically a two-person play between Rose and Butler, and the other players are not strong offensively.

However, Rose's sense of scoring in the first position is not as strong as Butler's, and he always does all kinds of hard work.

If his body was still at its peak, it would be right to fight like this, but now his mind and body are not compatible.

To be honest, the Nuggets are willing to let Rose play like this, and they don't flank, they just paste it to consume.

If Rose comes in, Xiang Chu will definitely help defend immediately. The Nuggets just want to give him a chance to play singles without making him too efficient.

Under such circumstances, the Nuggets gradually took the lead.

Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg was a little anxious on the sidelines, and he guessed how much the Nuggets were planning.

But guess what it is, he needs Rose's offense, or else he will abolish Rose.

Knowing that it is a trap, you have to step into it. This is the helplessness of the Bulls this season. If the star can't play a stronger ability, the team will only lose.

And after entering the rotation, the performance of the Bulls' bench players is not as good as that of the Nuggets.

Xiang Chu's former teammate Deng Lewei didn't come here at all. He didn't play so comfortably in the Bulls and is now in the stage of injury truce.

But for a player of Dunleavy's age, there's nothing better than a lucrative contract.

The situation of the Bulls is getting worse and worse, but after the main lineup came up, they began to chase points desperately.

Rose and Butler may not be very compatible tactically, but both are the kind of players who are extremely resilient and willing to work hard.

The two started desperately in the second quarter and played very fiercely, causing the Nuggets to foul several times.

With their efforts, the Nuggets never opened up the score.

But at the end of the first half, Butler fell and was injured while chasing for a rebound.

For the Bulls, it can be said that the room leaked and it rained overnight, but that's how the stadium is. No one wants this to happen. Everyone wants to win.

The Nuggets led by 7 points in the first half, and both teams committed a lot of fouls.

If this continues, there may be a few penalties in the game, but the styles of the two teams are relatively aggressive, especially the Bulls. Although the defense has declined this season, they are still very aggressive.

But the Nuggets didn't care that much. It didn't matter if they sent two penalties. Luckily, Xiang Chu only had two fouls.

The Bulls are different. If they lose a few more combat power, this game will not be played.

In the third quarter, the Bulls still played very tough, and their young insider Ballstow quickly fouled five times.

On the offensive end, Rose is a bit difficult to support alone. The Nuggets still use the same method to deal with him. Rose is not so strong now. When the time comes, the Nuggets don't need to do more, and his own efficiency will drop.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Nuggets had already led by double digits.

But the resilience of the Bulls is still there, and their bench is showing off, especially Doug McDermott.

McDermott was still a rookie in the trade between the Nuggets and the Bulls. The young man has grown well in the new season, but he certainly has not reached the ideal level.

It’s still early to say who lost and who gained in the original transaction, but the Nuggets definitely don’t regret it, they got the players they needed, or two, and now Gary Harris and Nurkic are the team’s main rotation .

With the efforts of the Bulls' bench group, the score gap between the two sides came to single digits again.

The outcome of the game still depends on the final quarter, but the Nuggets definitely have a certain advantage.

McDermott didn't show much after the Nuggets' defense noticed him. The Bulls put him in the starting lineup, but it didn't help.

At the final decisive moment of the game, the Bulls became Rose's personal performance again.

Rose is a player who is very popular with fans. He has a good style of play and never gives up. However, the coach may have a love-hate relationship with him. His current style of play is too inefficient.

Especially in the last few minutes, the basket was almost smashed by Rose.

For the Nuggets, the twin towers of Xiang Chu and Jokic are shining. The Bulls have committed six fouls inside, and the substitute inside has also committed six fouls. The Nuggets' lead has reached double digits and continued to expand to 20+.

In stark contrast, all the fans who watched the live broadcast of the game felt that this is the huge difference between the championship team and the ordinary playoff team.

The five Nuggets scored in double figures, and Xiang Chu and Gallinari scored 70 points together. The Nuggets beat the Bulls with a strong offensive power and won their 33rd regular season winning streak.

After the game, Xiang Chu expressed his blessing to Butler in a very official way, and then chatted about whether he could create a new historical record, which made a group of media reporters itch.

But starting today, the Nuggets will make another addition to the history of the league.

They have already stood at the top of the regular season winning streak with the former Bulls, and it just so happens that they also defeated the Bulls this time.
