Chapter 520 Adaptability
Xiang Chu's statement just now is relatively low-key, but his fans are not low-key at all.
Olivia has long posted her winning streak on social media, bragging every time she wins.
During this period of time, Xiang Chu's fans were also looking at the sky, extremely proud.
But he is so strong, fans who don't want to see him have been feeling uncomfortable.
Jim Smith also organized several fan activities while digging new seedlings. Although Xiang Chu was not present, he still did a good job in general.
Under such circumstances, Xiang Chu only needs to play the game, and the heat value will grow faster and faster.
Xiang Chu was very happy when the little guy finally called him dad. He thought about learning to call him dad before the little guy learned to call mom, but he gave up because he was often away from home.
Although it was a little bit late, when hearing the little guy's slurred voice, Xiang Chu's insider was still extremely happy, and the feeling in it was not for outsiders.
Their son speaks relatively early and is probably smarter, admitting the excellent IQ of the two.
This is not a joke, my parents are relatively good college students, although what I am doing now seems to have nothing to do with my major in college.
On February 2, the Nuggets went out again and came to the Life Smart Home Arena, which is also known as the home of the Devil.
The Jazz's record this season is similar to last season. Obviously, the team and young players have encountered some bottlenecks.
If they are not good enough in the West, it will be difficult for them to enter the playoffs.
But at home, no matter which team they face, they want to compete for victory.
You know, the Jazz still have the top defense in the league, they just have poorer offensive ability.
In many games, they lost at the last moment, and they need a real star.
The Jazz's starting lineup did not change in this game, but the defense really went all out.
Sparing no effort to defend, the Nuggets blocked three-pointers when they received the ball from the outside, and the inside receivers shrank.
The point is, if they work hard, they have the strength. If the Nuggets players go in, even Gallinari won't be able to get cheap.
The Jazz's two insiders Rudy Gobert and Derek Favors are both very strong in defense. Maybe one of them can't reach the level of Xiang Chu, but if they are two, they can also achieve the effect of Xiang Chu, creating a no-fly district.
Moreover, Xiang Chu would be in danger if they flanked each other. As long as the back resisted, another person would come over and restrict Xiang Chu's shots. After all, Xiang Chu's shots were not completely unstoppable.
It's just that the Jazz's desperate defense consumes a lot of energy, which will lead to a lack of energy on the offensive end, and it may be difficult to persist until the end of the game.
But they are duty-bound. They showed their attitude when they played, playoff mode, and fight to the end.
Both teams entered the state slowly in the first quarter, and it was Favors who played the best for the Jazz.
Slow pace, all kinds of physical confrontation, oppressive defense, every ball is not easy in this situation.
The Jazz try to score in a simpler way, hoping to consume the dead Nuggets.
However, the Nuggets' scoring methods have always been more stable. Xiang Chu and Gallinari proved the value of the All-Stars. They are more stable than others in their respective positions.
Regardless of the fact that Gallinari is the first All-Star selected by Xiang Chuguang, in fact, he is quite strong in all aspects, and he is the kind of player with outstanding comprehensive abilities.
It's just that he is not top-notch in all aspects, so it was difficult to shine in the past.
Now that he is partnering with Xiang Chu, sometimes when Xiang Chu has problems, Gallinari can play to his fullest.
What can stop him now is that his body is a little fragile, which is also related to his style of play. He is not a pure shooter, and he is more aggressive in breakthrough and defense.
The Nuggets are also paying great attention to Gallinari's body now, and will resolve any situation as soon as possible.
With Xiang Chu there, there is no need for him to stay on the field all the time, so that most of his injury problems can definitely be solved, and the rest is his own attention.
Under the performance of more stable core players, the Nuggets gradually took the lead, and the time has entered the rotation period, and this time the Nuggets obviously played better than the opponent.
Burks was injured and rested, Jeremy Lin suppressed Burke again, and the Nuggets' lead was expanding.
It's just that the pace of the two teams is relatively slow, and the Nuggets' lead has also increased relatively slowly.
But there is no doubt that they have been in control of the situation on the court. When the main lineups of both sides play again, it will be Xiang Chu and Gallinari's time again.
Hayward was really suppressed by Gallinari in the first half. This should not be the full strength of this buddy.
At the end of the first half, Xiang Chu received a pass from Jokic and dunked and scored, helping the team extend the lead to 10 points. score.
The Jazz didn't say they played poorly in the first half. They were extremely united on both ends of the offense and defense, but their scoring ability was a bit poor.
Hayward and Hood are relatively strong, and it may also be related to their two strong points of defending the Nuggets' perimeter.
As for the inside line, it goes without saying that Gobert is the life of a pure blue-collar in front of Xiang Chu, or the kind who looks very embarrassed and can't play at all.
During the intermission, Jazz coach Quinn Schneider frowned, because he really couldn't find a way to beat the Nuggets. The gap between them was too far, and the key was that their positions were almost restrained.
The overall ability of the Nuggets team is too strong, and they can adapt to fast and slow rhythms. Whether they use a small lineup or a regular lineup, they can't take advantage of them.
However, they should also play better. It's not that they don't have a little attack power.
In the third quarter, Hayward strengthened his personal offense, and he stood up when the team was in crisis.
When he really broke out, he was no worse than Gallinari, and even stronger in some aspects.
For example, under fierce confrontation, Gallinari's physical strength gradually failed to keep up with the opponent.
Among white players, Hayward's physical fitness is very good.
He is getting better and better at this point, but it doesn't mean that he can overwhelm the Nuggets without the Jazz. In fact, the situation of the Jazz has not changed from the first half, except that the scoring points are slightly different.
They are still very weak on the offensive end. Hayward is not the aggressive type. It is too difficult for him to help the Jazz chase points when both sides are slow.
What's more, the Jazz's bench players didn't perform at all in the second half and were crushed by the Nuggets' bench lineup.
After Nurkic's comeback, the Nuggets' rotation lineup can be said to be relatively perfect. There is no such explosive scoring type, but they often play a taste of starting for an ordinary team. Players in each position perform their duties. The team's bench lineup is much more organized.
In this case, the Jazz has a tendency to collapse.
