The strongest basket king

Chapter 113
40+16, Xiang Chu had another large double-double, scoring continued to create new career highs, but unfortunately the team lost two games in a row.

The Nuggets' three-point difference has reached a certain level, which makes people feel a little resentful.

If they also have a few good shooters on the outside, they can win both games.

You must know that with Xiang Chu inside, the outside pitchers will definitely have a chance.

The Nuggets had a tight schedule at the beginning of the season, and it was back to back after two days of rest.

Xiang Chu now has a girlfriend and likes home games even more.

Olivia is usually at school, and Xiang Chu will be together when he comes back. The two people's current lifestyle is also simple.

"I'm so pissed that you lost the game after playing so well. Those guys couldn't make any open shots. If I were the coach, I would make them reflect on themselves." Olivia said bitterly.

She also knew that her current status was inconvenient to scold Xiang Chu's teammates on social media, but she couldn't help it at home.

"You're right, it would be great if you were the coach." Xiang Chu smiled and hugged his girlfriend in his arms.

He is a person who is good at learning, and he will definitely not be so stupid as to seriously reason with his girlfriend.

Olivia's model figure is tall in the eyes of ordinary people, but she looks petite next to Xiang Chu, and Xiang Chu's strength can easily lift her up.

He found that strength training is not only helpful for playing, but also very convenient in life.

The Nuggets' first home game this season is against the Pistons. The Pistons have an inside line. Monroe, who played together in the rookie game before, and Drummond, the No. 9 pick this year.

However, the Pistons are really fishy. They also signed rookies in the summer to deal with the garbage contract, and did not increase their combat power. They mainly relied on two rookie players, Monroe and Brandon Knight, for scoring.

Xiang Chu's jump ball has also improved this season, and the Nuggets have the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

The ball was passed to Xiang Chu, but it was not yet in the area where he could activate his skills. Xiang Chu made a gesture to play singles, and then loosened the ball to the side. Faried caught the ball and dunked straight away, causing cheers from the Pepsi Center fans.

Xiang Chu's coping ability is very average, but he is quite proficient in passing the ball hand-to-hand, or grabbing a rebound and passing it to the outside line. It should be no problem to get about three assists per game.

Of course, this trick is not so easy to use, the Pistons are relatively big.

Xiang Chu really wanted to have a good discussion with Monroe. When Monroe first entered the league, the media also blew it up.

However, the Pistons first launched an attack from the outside, and Stuckey took most of the shots. Stuckey is the kind of scorer with average scoring ability, but he is very confident.

Of course, he has a height advantage against Ty Lawson. Ty Lawson is too short, and many guards can at least interact with him.

Relying on the advantage of the inside line, the Nuggets quickly opened the score to 10 points, but were caught up by the opponent for most of the rotation period.

The Nuggets' sixth man is Chandler, but he has been in poor form since the beginning of the season.

It stands to reason that he has good abilities, but he may still be slightly resistant to playing as a substitute.

This is a problem that George Karl needs to solve. Anyway, Xiang Chu is fine, and Mozgov has no idea of ​​competing for the starting lineup.

The Pistons' two rookies this year can perform well, and Drummond feels quite stable.

The Pistons once relied on the bench lineup to control the situation, but after the main force came on the field, their inside line was abused again, and Monroe's defense was really mediocre.

By the end of halftime, the Nuggets easily led by another 7 points.

The Pistons don't have that kind of three-pointer, and Xiang Chu won't worry so much even when he sits on the bench to rest.

As long as the main force comes up, they will firmly suppress the opponent. The Nuggets have regained the feeling of a strong team. They are also a strong team in the Western Conference, okay?

During the intermission, Pistons head coach Lawrence Frank was very dissatisfied, "Greg, you must attack decisively and cause damage. Xiang Chu is still a sophomore. Are you afraid?"

Frank saw it clearly, the Nuggets Xiangchu is too strong, if he can be beaten down, the team has the possibility of winning the game.

Xiang Chu is strong at the basket and rebounds, but his defense is only average. They can start from this aspect.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pistons hung inside. Monroe still had a good offense, and Xiang Chu couldn't completely limit it.

Xiang Chu's current defense is good for hand-to-hand players, and technical players can indeed beat him.

It's just that Monroe can't guard him, the key is that he has too much advantage in rebounding.

Last season, some rebounds could not be grabbed due to physical fitness. After possessing the skills of a fierce fighter, Xiang Chu's ability to control rebounds can be said to be a step up.

Even if Monroe succeeds in several attacks, the Nuggets still lead firmly.

In the final quarter, Xiang Chu and Monroe went to rest at the same time, and the Pistons fell into a scoring drought for a while.

Seeing that the team's score advantage has expanded to double digits, Xiang Chu is in a very good mood.

The Nuggets' bench is still a bit strong, and as long as they get used to it, the average team can suppress it.

At that time, he can save more physical strength and put it in the decisive moment, helping the team go further in the playoffs.

As for whether he can enter the playoffs, Xiang Chu is full of confidence.

Seeing that the Pistons were about to collapse, they quickly paused and replaced Jerebko's partner Monroe. The inside line was pulled out and no longer entangled with Xiang Chu. An offensive rebound stabilized the situation.

Entering the last 2 minutes, the gap between the two sides is still more than 10 points. The Pistons can only accept the ending of failure. This is also their four-game losing streak at the beginning of the season.

It's okay for them to lose four games. The key is that some teams that claim to dominate the league have also lost four games. If the Pistons gave them a warm, the Lakers would be miserable.

Although there are running-in problems, the fact that the Big Four have been losing has surprised everyone.

And it can be seen that Kobe is obviously a little anxious. When he is anxious, he doesn't care if Howard is the number one center.

Xiang Chu has also been paying attention to the news of the Lakers, including the reason why Nash was injured after two games, but in the final analysis, Mike Brown will not adjust the balance between the inside and outside.

Otherwise, with Kobe and Howard, they should win. Give Xiang Chu a Kobe, and he won't let the Lakers lose consecutively.

Regardless of his former club's affairs, Xiang Chu won another large double-double of 34+18 this time.

Not only Denver, but the entire league was shaken. The performance in four games can't explain everything, but it can already explain most of the problems. He is now the best insider in the entire league.

ESPN also reported, "Xiang Chu's progress is unbelievable, he is born to be a good inside seedling."

The Los Angeles Times also missed Xiang Chu, "The Lakers may have made a wrong decision."

The Denver Post even said directly, "Denver once again has an All-Star player. The summer deal shows the determination of the management. It is time for the Nuggets to go further."
