"The Nuggets defended Xiang Chu very tightly. The ball was in Iguodala's hands, and Iguodala forced a shot... No, it was a pass. Xiang Chu turned over and shot after receiving the ball, and scored!"
"With only 11 seconds left in the game, Xiang Chu made a key shot."
"Lillard signaled to pull away, and the Blazers' rookie showed confidence and forced a shot... Unfortunately, it was only a little bit short, and the Nuggets defended the home court."
Xiang Chu's fans, whether they were at the scene, or in front of the TV or computer, all shouted happily.
Xiang Chu has become more and more proficient in mastering new technologies. It is hard to imagine that he will only shoot under the basket at the beginning of the season.
Olivia was at the scene, very excited, and now many fans have guessed their relationship, sitting there every home game, and there are various interactions, just the fans are too exaggerated.
But male talent and female appearance, everyone can only envy and hate.
After the game, George Karl was full of praise for Xiang Chu, who scored 32 points and 13 rebounds. More, I am like this, I play well, I praise what I should, and I am not stingy. However, after a practice, I really couldn't find any better compliments, so I said, 'Son, you are already inseparable to us. One is missing'."
Xiang Chu showed a sincere smile to the reporter, "Compared with big stars, I prefer to help the team win. As long as you are an athlete, you will understand how wonderful it is to win the game."
"I just want to give it my all. That's the way I play, heart and focus."
In the current situation in the West, the Thunder, Spurs, and Clippers are still the only ones, but the Grizzlies, who were in the same tier as them before, did not play well during this period and dropped their record.
If the Nuggets continue their winning streak, they have a good chance of entering the top four.
Xiang Chu actually doesn't have much ambition this season. If he can enter the top four in the Western Conference and gain the home court advantage in the playoffs, he will be very satisfied.
And the Nuggets are not afraid of a team with weak offensive power like the Grizzlies. If the situation in the Western Conference does not change significantly, playing the Grizzlies in the playoffs is a very good choice, and the characteristics are just restrained.
The All-Star Weekend hasn't started yet, but half of the game schedule is already over. It's normal for Xiang Chu to think about the playoffs.
After possessing the Iron-Blooded Titan skills, he did not leave any hidden dangers when he went all out on the field. Now he can put all his energy in the game, which feels good.
But the next day, the Nuggets are going to play back-to-back away games against the No. [-] Thunder in the Western Conference.
After the Thunder sent Harden away, the start was not very smooth, but now they are still sitting on the top spot in the Western Conference by virtue of the strength of the twin stars.
Their strength is indeed very strong. Kevin Martin is worse than Harden, but he is also very strong as a sixth man. With the growth of Ibaka, the strength of the Thunder is still in the league.
When encountering a meat shield like Perkins, it would be much easier for Xiang Chu to fight. Relying on the advantage of height, there is no need to fight all the time. He is still looking forward to this game.
But what he didn't expect was that the Nuggets encountered a scoring shortage on the outside line at the start.
Especially at position one, Ty Lawson faced Westbrook and was beaten 16:0.
Before Xiang Chu went, Ty Lawson turned out to be the core player of the Nuggets. It can only be said that the team is too empty.
Ty Lawson was exploded at this point, the key is that Gallinari didn't score a point against Durant.
Perkins didn't score, of course, but his lack of scoring had little effect on the Thunder.
The Thunder's two All-Star players are outsiders, but the team's lineup configuration for them is good, and it will not affect the performance of the two, but others cannot help them on the offensive end.
Xiang Chu scored in the main lineup of the Nuggets, and the Thunder had two. In the rotation lineup, the Nuggets still had no one to stand up, but Martin of the Thunder also played well.
This situation caused the Nuggets to fall behind by double digits in the first quarter.
There are still some reasons for the away game. The Nuggets players who ran back to back to the away game must be exhausted, but it is too bad to play like this.
If their goal is just to make the playoffs, this is fine.
But after the team traded in the summer, they just wanted to go further in the playoffs, and the state they wanted to be in was no longer available.
In fact, it is still a question of team building ideas. The Nuggets have not considered focusing on the inside before.
But even if Xiang Chu doesn't perform well, the Nuggets won't be able to improve much this season. It's evil to want to focus on the perimeter but not have a strong shot.
Maybe the Nuggets have no choice. They are not giants and cannot attract enough strong players to shoot.
This season, Xiang Chu also asked Jim Smith to communicate with the team. It is said that the team also tried to trade to better suit Xiang Chu's lineup, but without success.
George Karl tried a small lineup and it didn't open up the situation. The Thunder is a team with strong offense and defense, and they are not afraid of small lineups at all, especially the ancient small lineup like the Nuggets.
In the second quarter, only Xiang Chu scored, and the Nuggets still couldn't prevent the Thunder Twins and Martin.
The score gap has reached 20 points, and this is the first time Xiang Chu has played so aggrieved this season.
The Thunder's two insiders are black and tough. In order to limit him, Hashim Thabeet on the bench also played for a long time. Although Thabeet is a useless No. [-], he is taller than Xiang Chu and has a lot of weight. It is quite good for defense. trouble.
Xiang Chu continued to score after several black and hard turns. His teammates really performed poorly this time.
Xiang Chu's fans on the Internet have scolded others to death, but it has no effect on the game.
The point is, no matter how excited George Karl was during the halftime break, nothing changed for the team.
Xiang Chu scored 35 points and 13 rebounds in three quarters, but the team was defeated.
After the game, he was also very depressed. In an interview, he said seriously: "Even if it is back-to-back fatigue, we can't play like this. We have no fighting spirit on the court and let them do whatever they want."
Later he said on social media: "If you want to be successful, you have to overcome difficulties. Only a few people can overcome difficulties. I just want to be one of them."
On the training ground, Xiang Chu said to everyone: "Everyone, we are now in a critical period. It is just a playoff team or a chance to become a first-class team. It may be on our minds. We must be tough on ourselves. , I am not satisfied with my current position."
"Dude, you're exaggerating. You just lost back to back." Ty Lawson was a little upset.
Ty Lawson felt that he had already given in, but Xiang Chu was pretending more and more. Is it necessary?
"The team has to be more aggressive in order to get better."
"Don't I have the will to fight?"
Seeing that his disciples were about to quarrel, George Karl came over and said, "Practice hard for me."
