The strongest basket king

Chapter 187
"Honey, don't be too tired. I heard that it's not good to practice too hard." Olivia leaned half against the entrance of the fitness room, her voice was whiny.

Xiang Chu gave her a contemptuous look, "Why don't you come and practice together, isn't your life so good recently, your waist seems to have grown flesh."

Olivia suddenly frowned, "Big man, you are talking nonsense, you are a big bastard."

After all, Olivia was still very worried about her figure, so she immediately went to the big mirror to look left and right.

Xiang Chu was just talking casually, that Olivia can't be idle every day, and she doesn't get fat so easily.

He had to be vigilant, but he didn't expect that his body fat percentage would increase by a few points after he relaxed.

Now that he wants to use his magical skills, he must keep his body fat percentage below 9%, no, it's better to be safe and below 8%.

In this regard, he still admires Howard. Howard's body management is really good.

Xiang Chu is mainly because he was too thin before, and then he was in a hurry to gain weight. If he progresses step by step, there will be no problem.

The key to body management is perseverance, and it’s not a big problem if you don’t need a trainer to do it yourself.

What Xiang Chu needs a trainer for is comprehensive training, such as physical coordination. During the offseason, he will still hire a trainer to take care of it.

In the past few days, Xiang Chu has been training hard to control his body. After flying to the away game to play the Pelicans, he feels tired.

Chandler is available, but Ty Lawson is still resting.

Although Xiang Chu doubted that buddy's professional attitude, he still hoped that he would recover soon.

The Nuggets' point guard is really in short supply.

The Pelicans are now watching Davis grow up happily, and have no idea about the playoffs.

This should be an opportunity for the Nuggets to increase their winning streak, but they have been at a disadvantage from the beginning of this game.

The Nuggets were inaccurate from outside, and Xiang Chu felt a little tired, while the Pelicans hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, with 4 hits in the first quarter.

In fact, the gap between the two sides is not big when the main force is there. Although the Nuggets' perimeter is still unreliable, the Pelicans' offensive power is not very strong.

The turning point occurred in the rotation time, and the Pelicans' substitute hit 5 three-pointers.

When Xiang Chu came up again, the team was already behind by double digits.

At the end of halftime, the Nuggets were already 20 points behind, which was something they hadn't experienced in a long time.

The undrafted rookie Brian Roberts signed by the Pelicans sent 11 assists in the first half, and the Nuggets were crushed by the opponent in terms of shooting percentage.

The Pelicans still felt good in the second half, always hitting from beyond the three-point line.

George Karl didn't force it. The winning streak will always be ended. I didn't think it was the Pelicans before, but this end is also an acceptable choice.

After Xiang Chu scored a double-double, he was put down early, and the Nuggets surrendered.

This is an opportunity to perform as a substitute, but no one stands up to impress the head coach.

As long as you enter the NBA, there must be opportunities, but there are too few players who can seize the opportunities.

Before the opportunity comes, players must endure loneliness and train hard, and be ready at all times, but there are not many players who can do this.

The Pelicans hit 14 three-pointers, and their three-point shooting percentage was higher than the Nuggets' two-point shooting percentage.

"We played a terrible game, and the opponent was great." Xiang Chu said after the game. Find the open, they're better than us on both ends of the floor."

Pelicans guard Brian Roberts finally sent 18 assists. He started for the second time in his career and received media attention for the first time. He said happily: "It's crazy, many guys who have played for many years have never had so many assists. But first of all, let’s talk about teammates, if teammates miss shots, we can’t discuss this at all.”

In fact, everyone was relieved that the winning streak was ended, and finally they stopped thinking about the record, and then they can just concentrate on playing.

Xiang Chu will continue to lose fat and increase muscle. High-intensity training may have some impact on the present, but for a better playoffs, everything is worth it.

The Nuggets teammates were a little surprised by Xiang Chu's hard training.

This is the last moment of the season, and many players have accumulated a lot of fatigue. It can be said that it is rare to reach his level.

In fact, without the influence of magical skills, Xiang Chu would not be so exaggerated, but there is an opportunity to become better in front of him, and if he doesn't seize it, he will be considered lacking ambition.

"It's still young people who are amazing. If I practice like this, I will definitely get injured." Old Miller sighed.

Farid echoed, "It's only now that I realize that Xiang Chu's body is at the level of a beast. If I were a half-orc, he would be a full-fledged orc."

"I'm so handsome, how can I be a beastman." Xiang Chu said with contempt.

"Hehe, I'm still handsome." Farid said disdainfully.

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, can we be the Nuggets duo?"

Not to mention, Farid is actually a bit handsome under his rough appearance.

This period of time has earned enough attention, so even if they lose a game, the Nuggets are not depressed.

The next away game against the Spurs, Ty Lawson will come back, this is the game to test the true strength of this Nuggets.

The Spurs are still No. [-] in the league, but the previous loss caused the Thunder to catch up. It is too early to say who will belong to the No. [-] position in the Western Conference. It may not be possible to give a definite answer until the last moment.

What the Nuggets have to do now is to keep the third place in the West.

This is already amazing. They only competed with the Grizzlies for the fourth place in the Western Conference earlier, and they were still competing with the Warriors for the fifth place earlier. On the eve of the playoffs, the Nuggets can be said to have truly become a strong team.

In terms of overall strength this season, it depends on the Spurs.

The Spurs can be big or small, fast or slow, with veterans and outstanding young people. The only weak link may be that GDP is getting old, and they no longer have the absolute strength they once had.

Duncan can still fight, but his peak combat power cannot be maintained for the entire game, and he can only burst out for a short time.

But in this game, Duncan focused on attacking when he came up, and the Spurs also attached great importance to the outcome of the game.

Xiang Chu still didn't directly match up with Duncan. Even if a big guy like Duncan can't explode for as long as he was young, Xiang Chu still has to worry about fouls.

And unless the Spurs are playing a small lineup, they don't want Duncan to consume too much on Xiang Chu. Splitter can also be regarded as a tank-type center.

It's just that Split's height and weight are a little smaller, so it's hard to limit Xiang Chu.

But the Spurs are very experienced in defending big men, defending the ball, cutting off the connection between the inside and outside, and they have a lot of routines.
