In the second half of the game, a miraculous thing happened. Compared with Xiang Chuduo's offensive methods, Iguodala and Gallinari hit 3 three-pointers within a minute of playing.
The two hit 6 three-pointers in this quarter. Not only was the Mavericks beaten, but Xiang Chu was also happy to play a supporting role.
The Nuggets' three-pointer is not easy, and he must give strong support.
The Mavericks had no power to resist, and by the end of the three quarters, the score gap between the two sides was about to reach 20 points.
At the beginning of the last quarter, the Mavericks recovered a little bit of the score, so Xiang Chu didn't directly clock in to get off work, but the protagonist of the game was still Gallinari. He hit consecutive shots again and hit 7 three-pointers in the game. The Nuggets made a total of 12 three-pointers. The score is also a season high.
George Karl was very embarrassing after the game, "We generally did a good job today, and the game lost suspense very early."
And Gallinari, who scored the highest score in his career, is very humble. He said that Nowitzki has always been the object of his imitation and learning. Today's performance like this is also from Nowitzki.
"He has been one of the best European players in the league. I have been learning the rhythm of his offense and shooting. From these games and videos, I found some patterns."
Nowitzki was a little disappointed with the game, "I was always a step slower today, it was obvious, my injury did not recover to the best state, to be honest, never in my career In this situation, it will take me a long time to find my status. But before the game, I have to fight, which I have no choice."
Carlisle said that he does not want Nowitzki to go all out now, and he prefers Nowitzki to recover his body neatly.
Xiang Chu, who scored 22 points and 15 rebounds, also attracted the attention of reporters, because his offensive performance was a little different from before, and he also contributed 4 assists.
"I have been working hard to practice various offensive methods. I want to become versatile so that I can make more contributions to the team. Therefore, you don't have to be surprised if anything happens in the future." Xiang Chu said mysteriously .
It can be said that Xiang Chu stole the limelight from his teammates. ESPN wrote, "The best-performing center this season has developed new skills. He is one of the league's best insiders who are good at learning."
Master Russell also came out to speak, "Xiang Chu is a very good young man. I have always been optimistic about him. Now the league has Love as an inside player who can maintain an efficient double-double. But compared to him, Xiang Chu, a young man who has inherited the old A generation of inside tradition."
"If he asks me for advice on defense, I'm more than happy to teach him."
Xiang Chu responded as soon as he heard the news, "Mr. Russell is my idol. I'm worrying about defense. I'm glad he is willing to give me advice."
In fact, he wanted to draw a magical skill similar to the old man's defensive methods, how could Xiang Chu not know about giving each other face.
Mr. Russell is old and may not be able to give direct guidance, but it is also very good to be able to listen to some Hall of Fame players to share some experience. With his own understanding and training with the peak template in the system, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Things off the court can't delay much effort, they have to go back to back to play the Grizzlies away.
The Grizzlies have not played the Nuggets twice, and this time they are full of energy.
They put up the most suffocating defense from the very beginning. Against Xiang Chu, they not only worked hard on the defensive end this time, but also attacked the black and white bears on the offensive end.
Faried is also enjoying this kind of treatment. The Grizzlies players seem to have a big enemy with them.
Xiang Chu, who has just acquired a new magic skill, is a little depressed, because Gasol is not inferior to him in height and weight, and body crushing turns out to be just a magic skill of abusing vegetables.
But Howard is not so tall, the next time I meet Howard, I will definitely call him Dad.
Beep, the whistle sounded, and Xiang Chu innocently opened his hands.
He was not defending the opponent's attack at all this time, but just a physical confrontation, and the referee called him a foul.
"Sir, my position blocking action is very clean." Xiang Chu explained to the referee.
The referee didn't listen at all, and Xiang Chu also knew that the referee would not change the verdict. He just protested, and he might hesitate the next time the referee blows. Of course, it might have the opposite effect.
The Grizzlies' defense was not ruthless, but the physical contact was too intense. At their home court, the referee would not blow the whistle easily. The confrontation between Xiang Chucai and Gasol Jr. became more and more fierce, and he was blown.
In this case, Xiang Chu still has some offensive efficiency, but it is difficult for the rest of the team to receive the ball in the right position.
Missing the Nuggets increased the breakthrough, which is what they are good at. Iguodala had to get two whistles, but this buddy only scored one free throw.
As an All-Star outside player, Iguodala's free throws are the worst in the team. Xiang Chu can't understand it. Is it difficult to score without defense? If you are not used to it, you should have a defender in front of you.
The Grizzlies' own offensive efficiency is also very poor, but it is still very easy for Randolph to play Faried. Faried fouled twice in a short period of time. It will be difficult for the Nuggets to play in a small lineup in this game. Moz Goff can come up as a meat shield.
Grizzlies substitute player Pondexter came up and hit the only three-pointer of the two teams in the first quarter, and the Grizzlies entered the second quarter with a 4-point lead.
In the second quarter, Brewer hit the Nuggets' only three-pointer in the first half, and they also tied the score with this three-pointer.
The Nuggets played back-to-back away games, and everyone was very tired when they were beaten by the Grizzlies' defense.
But the Grizzlies' own offensive efficiency is also very low. Gasol is almost playing with the attitude of dying with Xiang Chu. It doesn't matter whether he scores or not, as long as he kills Xiang Chu.
In the second quarter of the Grizzlies, Gay played almost all singles. He scored the highest score of the two teams in this quarter, but he was caught up by the Nuggets in terms of score. situation.
Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins has been trying to find ways to make the team's strongest outside scorer and the black and white bears a harmonious whole every season, but it is always a little bit worse, maybe it should be thought about There is a new way.
The two teams were tied in the first half, and neither scored more than 40 points. For a team with strong offense and weak defense like the Nuggets, it can only be played like this when they encounter the Grizzlies.
"I know you're tired, but just hang in there, the victory is ours, and then we can go back to Denver with the victors in our hands, come home and rest comfortably."
During the halftime break, George Karl also poured chicken soup on the players. Back-to-back away games and encounters with teams like the Grizzlies are really unfriendly schedules.
But this is the professional league, and only the players who can overcome the difficulties will become stronger.
