The Grizzlies' black and white pair of bears began to chase for a few points, but soon became weak.
One is that Randolph's style of play consumes a lot of energy. He is not young now and cannot maintain high efficiency for a long time. The other is that because of Xiang Chu's influence, Gasol is basically free on the offensive end.
And Xiang Chu's output is very stable, this situation became more obvious after Gasol made five fouls.
When the time entered the last few minutes, the Grizzlies could only bet on three points, and they couldn't fight inside.
They watched Xiang Chu grow up, and it is possible to deal with it in the future, but now it is very difficult to restrict.
Chalmers scored two three-pointers at the last moment, but it didn't mean much to the Grizzlies. In the end, the Nuggets still won the game with a 10-point advantage.
Breaking the team history record again, but this is not as exciting as when the record was first broken, unless a league record is broken.
The Nuggets haven't thought about it yet, they just want a better regular season ranking.
However, the Warriors have always ranked ahead of them without losing, and the Spurs are close behind, and they can't relax for a moment.
The three teams seem to be competing with each other, but the Nuggets still take advantage of each other.
The teams that have won the Nuggets are all in the back row, and the three teams are getting farther and farther away.
This year's All-Stars are very harmonious. Since Kobe wants to give face, it doesn't make sense for others to earn second place, and the war of words is much less.
On the contrary, the competition for rankings in the regular season is very fierce. If the east is pecking at each other, the west is really strong.
However, too many records of a small number of teams also shows one thing, that is, there are too many weak chickens, and many teams have given up this season before the All-Star Weekend.
In this case, the enthusiasm of fans in certain cities will drop sharply.
There are many sports events in the United States. If you don’t watch the NBA, there are other leagues. The league wants to change, but there is no way.
But this has nothing to do with the Nuggets. A good team record means high enthusiasm among fans.
The most difficult time of their schedule has passed, and the next period of time will be home, so happy.
This is especially true for a player like Xiang Chu who has made his home in Denver. He has made plans to live with his family for several weeks.
Make a date with your wife, and you can also teach the little guy to speak.
On the training ground, everyone was sweating profusely. Most of the current Nuggets are working hard.
Victory always makes people excited, and young rookies also want to get more opportunities.
Xiang Chu occasionally gives pointers to other players, and he is also full of bosses now.
Strong, doesn't like to play around, and won the trust of the head coach, which is Xiang Chu's image in the eyes of other players.
So although he is not considered a veteran, other people look at him completely differently.
Before the game, Xiang Chu would habitually communicate with George Karl very regularly.
The opponent in the first game back home is the Hornets, a fringe team in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Their biggest move in the summer was to trade to Batum. It's not bad to have a bad record now. After all, they were still some distance away from the playoffs last season.
Compared with last season, they are stronger on the offensive end, but weaker on the defensive end.
For other tactical changes, they have also become fond of throwing three-pointers. This has been the trend in recent years. There are fewer and fewer teams in the league that do not regard three-pointers as an important weapon.
The Nuggets also have experience dealing with this type of team. They are also good at three-pointers, but their three-pointers are only auxiliary. The Nuggets are strong inside.
The Hornets are now with Jefferson injured, and the starting five is Zeller.
Zeller is taller than Jefferson, but not heavy enough, so he has no resistance to Shang Xiangchu.
But their inside line is just a decoration, and the Hornets are an outside team after all.
Walker shoots from the outside, Batum shoots from the outside, and Marvin Williams at the [-]th also shoots from the outside.
They started with a confrontational posture, but the Nuggets could limit them a little, but they couldn't limit the Nuggets at all.
Both Xiang Chu and Gallinari played casually, and Middleton played okay.
The Hornets' current style of play is sure to be able to score. Their outside line is pulled outside. After Jefferson stops playing, they will not have such tactics as low post attack.
But their scoring efficiency is not as good as the Nuggets, and the Nuggets' lead is also steadily expanding.
Seeing that the Nuggets' lead has smoothly reached double digits, the Hornets' bench broke out.
Jeremy Lamb feels good, the insider Kaminsky pulled out and made a three-pointer, and the other insider Hawes did the same.
The Hornets' tactic this time is to shoot from the outside. Five people stand in a row outside.
In this way, as long as the opponent feels good, and Xiang Chu only needs to go, Jokic and Nurkic can't handle it.
So the double-digit lead was chased to single digits, but the Nuggets are still in the lead.
After all, when the main force plays again, they are the dominant side. The Hornets just let the players with good touch on the bench stay on the court. After all, the touch depends on the opponent's defense. kind of concept.
As far as wages are concerned, I don't know how many times the difference is, can there be no difference?
In fact, it is really not difficult to deal with the Hornets. The offense is combined inside and outside, and the three-pointer is paid attention to when defending.
Their strong point Kemba Walker was closely watched. In fact, most of the three-pointers were pulled out by the opponent's inside players.
It's not that the Nuggets can't defend against it, but it's not necessary most of the time.
As the defending champion, winning is still based on stability. If you encounter any team, you have to go all out. The long regular season is not easy to get through.
In the third quarter, the situation was completely controlled by the Nuggets.
To be honest, those goals of the Hornets are more or less luck, not so stable.
The Nuggets have their real abilities there. The Nuggets' three strengths, Xiang Chu, Gallinari and Middleton, the Hornets just can't guard against them.
The score advantage has reached double digits again, and it is still expanding.
This time, the Hornets' bench has lost the power of the first half. Once some X factors are exposed, they will not become a threat. Their set of insiders pulling out is not a difficult tactic, because the insiders they pull out are not top-notch. kind.
The final quarter of the game was uneventful, and Xiang Chu even got the chance to rest 2 minutes earlier.
However, after winning this game, the Nuggets' winning streak in the regular season has reached 20 games. This win has become the fourth in league history, tied with the Bucks in the 1970-71 season.
The Rockets' 32007-game winning streak in the previous No.08-22 season is not far away, and the team must have some ideas.
The winning streak in the regular season, to be honest, doesn't mean much, unless it's the first place.
But the stimulating effect is still there, the media is talking about it, and the fans and players are very encouraged.
