The strongest basket king

Chapter 228 Pressure
"Thomas Jr. hit a three-pointer. This is his second three-pointer. Does the King have a chance to overtake?"

"Dun Levy, Dun Levy hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc to give a counterattack."

"Fournier, Fournier also hit a three-pointer, and the Nuggets' outside touch has opened up."

Thomas Jr. was so fast that no one outside the Nuggets could keep up. He also gave the Nuggets a heartbeat.

But at the end of the quarter, the shooter on the Nuggets' side finally got it right.

Fournier, Dunleavy and Jefferson each made a hit, and the score was pulled apart at once.

With Xiang Chu on the inside, as long as there are three points on the outside, the average team can't do anything.

In the last 5 minutes, the Nuggets had extended their lead to double digits, and then Xiang Chu sent the Kings three insiders to graduate, and the game was concluded.

With 35 points and 17 rebounds, he led the team to victory strongly. This is Xiang Chu's answer in the first game.

The Denver local media exclaimed that Xiang Chu was an invincible beast, and the King's insiders couldn't even foul him.

The Nuggets have lost consecutive games in the preseason. This game can be regarded as a reassurance for the fans. Xiang Chu is so strong. With him, the team cannot fall into the dust.

But the Nuggets are indeed in trouble now, and Knight needs to recover for at least a week.

Chandler also suffered an injury, also need a week or two.

Trouble at the beginning of the season may be better than trouble in the playoffs, but the Nuggets feel that they have suffered some injury curse, and two more injuries in one game.

That's why Xiang Chu played so well, and there are still many people in the outside world who don't like them.

He said on social media: "It is always not easy for the team to run in, but everything is to make the team better. Don't say too much, everyone will look at the record after a while."

Soon he sent another message, "Hey, we seem to have got off to a good start."

His fans immediately followed, despising those who look down on them together.

No matter what, Xiang Chu led the team to win. He is not a data brush, and the Nuggets are not that weak.

Back home, Xiang Chu received a commercial from Jim Smith.

Before the start of the regular season, Jim Smith reached an agreement with the largest commercial endorsement resource in his hand.

The well-known sports drink in the United States costs 5000 million in ten years, and you can get this money as long as you play a certain number of games in the NBA every year.

Media advertisements and brochures have already been released, so Xiang Chu knew about it in advance.

The opponent originally wanted to sign him after the playoffs, but the details of the contract have not been negotiated. In the end, both sides gave way, and finally everything was settled before the start of the regular season.

After the restaurant opened, the response was good. The first batch of customers were fans of the two, who were selected through a lottery on social media, which was also publicity.

They chose to take the delicate route and now it seems good. The first wave of reservations has arrived many days later. The key is that Olivia, as a manager, is relatively relaxed and will not affect the home court to support Xiang Chu.

The Nuggets' first home game was the first day of November. Miller Sr. replaced the injured Knight in the starting lineup. Their opponent was the Trail Blazers.

The Blazers' summer operations were more practical. They traded for Robin Lopez and signed Maurice Williams, supplementing the two most missing parts of the team, the fifth position and the sixth man.

The Blazers are also a team obsessed with three-pointers, but they also have offensive power inside.

When the Nuggets came up, they focused their defensive attention on Lillard and Aldridge, the opponent's internal and external cores. Unexpectedly, Batum was overwhelmed when he came up, hitting 3 three-pointers and scoring 15 points in a single quarter.

But Xiang Chu also slapped Robin Lopez on the inside, and neither side could defend the other.

Compared with the first game, it is more obvious that the two strengths of the Blazers, Lillard and Aldridge correspond to the weakest link of the Nuggets, and the other two positions depend on each player's performance.

In the first quarter, Xiang Chu withstood the opponent's attack. When Xiang Chu went to rest in the second quarter, the Blazers led by double digits.

Mozgov's offense is still a bit worse, and the outside shooters don't feel very good. Only Middleton performed well during the rotation.

George Karl also frowned. If the shooters the team acquired in the summer didn't shoot, their summer signings would have been a failure.

In the second half, Matthews broke out again on the Blazers side, and the Nuggets had no one to guard against Lillard, so the score has been difficult to catch up.

At the end of the quarter, Aldridge stabilized the situation with consecutive singles, and the Nuggets lost their first game at home.

Xiang Chu beat the opponent's fifth position again, and scored 36 points and 18 rebounds to no avail.

Last season's home record was so good, but this season they lost at the start of the season, and criticism from the outside world came one after another.

The Nuggets' signing and trading in the summer were demoted to nothing, which is exactly how Xiang Chu hurt the team.

His style of play was also considered too backward and was hurting the team.

"No shooting, no good defensively, Denver would take such a player as a treasure."

"I don't understand why no team came in and challenged him, he's like air defense, I bet if he tried to help half court he'd be sent off."

"This is the true level of the Nuggets. They can win a game only when they encounter a bad opponent. The Blazers players are simply doing shooting practice."

"Injuries may be their only fig leaf. If I am the management, I will trade Xiang Chu."

Olivia was furious when she saw these remarks, and rolled up her sleeves to play again, bringing Xiang Chu's loyal fans and starting a mutual confrontation mode with the opponent.

Originally, she paid great attention to her image as a restaurant manager during this time, but now she can't help it.

Xiang Chu was fine, he had offended a lot of people on social media before, and it's normal for so many people to come out and attack him in a little bit of a situation.

But basically they are all booers, as long as he is not blind, he can see his performance.

There are definitely flaws, but he is definitely an irreplaceable member of the team.

In addition, this wave of online battles has slightly increased the speed of popularity.

The Nuggets lost consecutive games in the playoffs. Xiang Chu started the regular season with a large double-double and continued to beat the opposing players. With the endorsement news, his popularity reached [-] a few days later.

It happened that their third battle was four days later, and Xiang Chu could draw a new magical skill before again.

No matter what he will draw, he is looking forward to it, and every time he draws a magic skill, he will become stronger.

Now the team has some difficulties, and the running-in process will affect the record, which is the time for him to show his stronger strength.

Although the three templates he chose have their own characteristics, they are all offensive and defensive players in general, and they have no shortcomings together.

He has obtained five of the ten magical skills, what will happen next, Xiang Chu is looking forward to it.
