The strongest basket king

Chapter 134 New Year is approaching
On December 12, the Nuggets came to Sacramento, and the Western Conference teams were still relatively close.

The Kings are one of the few teams that has become fattened before the start of the season.

They didn't work hard in the summer either, they just muddled through, presumably they wanted to wait for the rookies to rise up, and while waiting, they could get a good lottery.

Several teams in the league often use this trick. Anyway, the NBA does not have a relegation system.

There are benefits to playing poorly, so why not do it, this is very different from the top football leagues in the world, but if you want to earn better, you still need to win.

The Kings still have a few scoring points, all of which are mainly young people. Now the strongest point is Cousins.

But their strengths are not particularly strong, but their defense is very bad, and it is normal to lose a lot.

Xiang Chu has long wanted to compete with Cousins. Among the young insiders, Cousins ​​has strength and excellent skills. This kind of comprehensive insider, Bynum has not appeared this season, and only Cousins ​​is left.

However, Cousins' defense is not very good, with many fouls and many mistakes, his advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

Xiang Chu is not the head coach of the Kings, so he doesn't care about Cousins' shortcomings. He just wants to play a good game.

You must know that playing against various types of centers is necessary for self-improvement.

Xiang Chu took the lead again, catching the ball inside and completing a dunk.

Looking back, Cousins ​​also hit one, but that was all for Cousins ​​in the first quarter. In the fierce confrontation, Cousins ​​was completely at a disadvantage in consecutive strikes.

On the other hand, Jason Thompson at the [-]th position relied on his height to beat Faried a few times. Faried is also a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages, and he will often encounter this situation when playing the [-]th position at his height.

However, the king's other positions do not take advantage. Gallinari and Xiang Chu, one inside and one outside, directly blow up the king's defense. To be precise, they have no defense.

Xiang Chu was very excited at first, but after confronting Cousins ​​for a while, he became less excited.

After all, he is still a man who can interact with Howard, a young center with a very good evaluation, in front of him, he is at the level of a young center, and he is already at the All-Star level, or a relatively strong one at the All-Star level.

The King's offense is still good, and there are Thomas Jr. and others on the bench.

It's just that their two strong points, Cousins ​​and Evans, both met their opponents today, and their defense is like nothing, and the score gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

Xiang Chu found that teams like the Kings didn't seem to have the spirit of resistance. Anyway, they played calmly and had no special emotions about the expansion of the score.

As for the Nuggets, in addition to the main force, the substitute Jordan Hamilton also scored double digits in the three-point half. .

The Nuggets won by nearly 20 points at halftime, and they haven't played such an easy game for a long time.

In the third quarter, Cousins ​​sent a ruthless single to Xiang Chu in the interior, and also made Xiang Chu get some points for two fouls, but Xiang Chu scored more points than him, and the score gap quickly reached 30 points, and the game entered garbage time.

The Kings played well in garbage time, mainly because Thomas Jr. showed his prowess, but it is useless for a player with a 30-point gap to play well.

With 28 points and 12 rebounds, Xiang Chu's data in less than 30 minutes, he never thought it would be so easy before. It's not fun to have opponents without fighting spirit, but it's still very cool to win.

After the game, George Karl couldn't help pretending. He talked to reporters: "Defense pushed us to play in the right way."

Then the King's score of 97 points is not too low, George Karl is just smacking.

Kings coach Keith Smart said bitterly, "Tonight...it's like a horror story."

It is also customary for Xiang Chu to be interviewed now. He said directly: "It feels like they are not prepared at all."

He can't imagine that a young center like Cousins ​​doesn't have enough determination to win. He played too easily today, which is completely different from his previous high scores.

Xiang Chu's mind was quickly drawn away from this game, and he was more thinking about the next game. The Nuggets returned to the home court to welcome the Spurs' visit.

The Spurs are now third in the Western Conference, but they feel that they will be harder to play than the Grizzlies. Now the Spurs have completely become a three-point team.

Back in Denver, Xiang Chu Olivia went out for a long time.

Professional players are really busy. Fortunately, there is an offseason, otherwise I really don't have much time to spend with my girlfriend.

"My family wants me to go back for the holidays." Olivia said suddenly.

"It's time to go back and spend time with your family. You have been here for a while. When I have time, I will go to Canada to visit your family." Xiang Chu answered with a perfect score.

He didn't ask about any holidays, anyway, Christmas and New Year were coming soon.

Olivia's mouth pouted suddenly, "You despise me, don't you?"

Xiang Chu was surprised and didn't know what he said wrong. Fortunately, Olivia is not a hypocritical girl, and immediately said: "I rejected them, they seem to be coming."

"Your family wants to come over?" Xiang Chu was still a little confused.

"Yeah, they know that I have a boyfriend, and they want to come and see, especially that guy Xibel, she must have encouraged the family to come here." Olivia snorted.

Xibel is Olivia's younger sister. Well, that's not the point. After Xiang Chu realized it, he felt very nervous, even more nervous than playing in the playoffs.

Is it time to buy a house in advance? Jim Smith has investigated it clearly in the past few months. The real estate market in Denver is not bad. In the past two years, many people have come to invest and buy a house here. Can be sold at a good price.

Anyway, let Jim Smith pay attention to it first. Xiang Chu also has some money now, but he didn't plan to spend it so quickly before, and spend it when he wants to spend more. He can also buy a better house in one go.

"Why, you don't want to." Seeing that Xiang Chu was silent, Olivia said fiercely.

But the girl's eyes were also a little worried, and she took the initiative to say that she was also very nervous.

Seeing that his girlfriend was pretending, Xiang Chu immediately smiled and hugged her, "Of course not, then I must treat your family well. They can come and stay for a few more days, and you can take them to travel around. , I bear the cost."

"Am I talking about expenses? I can also make money, okay?"

Olivia gave Xiang Chu a sideways look, and then smiled sweetly.

She hugged Xiang Chu's waist with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Big man, I'm a little hungry, let's go back and cook a big meal by ourselves, shall we?"

Xiang Chu laughed loudly, "Of course it's no problem, watch me show my skills and feed you, a greedy cat."
