The strongest basket king

Chapter 192

After the game, Xiang Chu immediately posted on social media to pray for Gallinari.

Gallinari's situation is not good, and Xiang Chu's joy of winning has been completely diluted.

The fans sent their blessings one after another, and Xiang Chuzhen hoped that he could bring good luck to Gallinari in the dark.

There are only six games left in the season. If Gallinari is seriously injured, it will have a great impact on the Nuggets' playoffs.

Now Ty Lawson is also recuperating, but Gallinari's absence is definitely more influential than Ty Lawson.

Gallinari is the most stable point on the perimeter of the Nuggets, and he is also the best perimeter player to partner with Xiang Chu.

If Gallinari can't make the playoffs, the Nuggets will degenerate from an X factor that can wrestle with any strong team in the West to an ordinary playoff team.

However, Xiang Chu's prayers did not help.

Soon, the news of further inspections came out. Gallinari tore his cruciate ligament and was reimbursed for the season.

"Damn it!" Xiang Chu swears immediately after hearing the news.

They have reached the final stage of this season, and their form has been fully developed. If they are lucky, they may even perform miracles in the playoffs, but the situation is not so good now.

Everyone's mood was affected during the team's training. It's a bit unacceptable to be hit by injuries after working hard this season.

Back home, Olivia also noticed something strange about her boyfriend.

She teased Xiang Chu twice but didn't get any response, so she got into Xiang Chu's arms angrily.

Xiang Chuzheng was a little annoyed, and suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, this girl really bit her.

"Why are you frustrated? You are an invincible overlord. Your fans will support you. They believe that you can win the game."

"What's more, there is me, no matter whether you win or lose the game, I will support you, big man."

This girl was also well versed in the method of adding carrots to a stick, and after biting, she kissed her twice.

With Wen Yu in his arms, Xiang Chu was angry and funny, and even a little moved.

Isn't it just encountering difficulties? It's no big deal, men shouldn't be cowardly.

If something happens to his teammates, he will play better.

There is no time to be depressed. In order to better prepare for the playoffs, he needs to make more preparations.

However, when he needed Olivia's enlightenment, he had to get it back.

Xiang Chu picked up the man directly, turned around and walked to the bedroom, um, I have to find it ten times.

On April 4, the Rockets, the seventh in the West, visited.

The Rockets definitely want to mention their record. The seventh place in the Western Conference is very difficult to face the Spurs or the Thunder. Relatively speaking, the Nuggets, Clippers, and Grizzlies will be better.

Especially the Nuggets, now the Nuggets' main lineup has two injuries, and the team that was the dark horse of the season a few days ago is now cast a shadow.

The Nuggets at this time have the best chance of winning.

However, Parsons also has a truce on the Rockets side, and the Rockets made a trade in the middle of the season, so the second-year Greg Smith is now the starter at the fourth position, and Patterson has been traded away before.

In fact, this Rockets team also plays first and fourth juniors more often, and getting an authentic starter at the fourth position is just a test.

Chandler is the starter for the Nuggets, and there are two fewer outside starters, which will definitely have an impact on the team.

However, the Nuggets played very well. Xiang Chu played like a beast in the interior, and Asik was a bit confused on the defensive end.

When Xiang Chu showed his strength on the inside, Iguodala and the old Miller on the outside also cooperated well.

There are still people in the Nuggets organization, and Miller Sr. and Iguodala are both good in this regard.

When Ty Lawson was there, on the contrary, his style conflicted with Xiang Chu's, because Ty Lawson often had to break through, but the old Miller didn't have that need.

The problem now is shooting. The Nuggets don't have the outside line that Gallinari can shoot.

After the Rockets realized that the problem was wrong, they immediately entered into adjustments.

Replace the inside line with someone who can pull out to shoot a three-pointer, instead of confronting Xiang Chu head-on.

In the second half of the first quarter, starting from Jeremy Lin and Garcia, the Rockets hit three-pointers in a row, and they hit 6 in the first quarter. They quickly overtook the score and gained a 10-point lead.

This three-point split, not to mention that the Nuggets are missing two main players, even if they have a complete facelift, they can't stand it.

George Karl also made adjustments. He let Xiang Chuduo rest for a while, and let Anthony Randolph, who had not played much before, play, and they also accelerated.

This change revived Chandler, who was not used to playing with the main lineup before. With the addition of Brewer and Fournier, the Nuggets began to chase points quickly.

To really run and play, the Nuggets are actually better athletic than the Rockets.

Of course, there is another key point. The Rockets are blooming a lot today, but their core Harden is not open.

The Rockets also have their troubles. Both players in the backcourt have to hold the ball. If one player plays well, it will affect the other. Jeremy Lin and Harden are not compatible, which can be regarded as their miscalculation in the summer.

When the Rockets didn't want to run with the Nuggets, Xiang Chu returned to the court.

The result was that they couldn't win even if they ran, and they were abused by Xiang Chu when they fought positional warfare.

The Rockets have no choice but to let a few insiders take turns to fight on the defensive end, and try to pull Xiang Chu out on the offensive end.

They still bet on three-pointers. Even if the Nuggets lost two main players, as long as Xiang Chu sits at the basket, they can only have a chance to win by relying on three-pointers.

It's just that the Nuggets' three-pointers are not bad. In the second quarter, their three-point shooting percentage surpassed that of the Rockets, so by the end of the first half, the Nuggets had already led by 8 points.

It is a wise choice for the Nuggets to activate Fournier, and the shooting ability of most European players is still guaranteed.

Facing an undefended team like the Rockets, the Nuggets exploded with all their offensive power.

"Our home court is still the strongest devil's home court in the league. Even if it is for the injured companion, we must stay here victoriously. Let us work together, come on!"

In the locker room, Xiang Chu took the initiative to gather everyone together to encourage him.

The two wounded ones happened to be the bosses of the two small groups of the team. Without the two of them, Xiang Chu's prestige in the locker room was even stronger, which was an unexpected gain.

The Rockets' defense also cooperated. After halftime indiscriminate bombing, the Nuggets swept away the haze.

So in the third quarter, the Rockets played the Nuggets more aggressively.

They just summed up the situation in the first half and planned to chase points in the third quarter, but they didn't expect the Nuggets players to be as fierce as taking medicine.

All kinds of impacts to the basket, and decisive outside shots, the Rockets couldn't stop them at all.

The score gap quickly reached double digits, and in the end it widened to 20 points, and the Rockets collapsed immediately.

All the people are soldiers, united as one, and the Nuggets, who hold the home court advantage and are desperate, cannot afford to be injured by the Rockets.
