The strongest basket king

Chapter 235 Character Changes
After playing the Timberwolves, the Nuggets went to Houston to play back-to-back non-stop.

This summer, one of the two most watched teams has the Rockets.

There is only one reason, and that is Howard. Howard has attracted attention in the summer for two consecutive years.

Howard, who had a stalemate with the Lakers, directly signed the Rockets naked without paying any price. In contrast, the Lakers, who were hurt by Howard last season, seemed to be taken advantage of.

This is the front line that paid a big price for the All-Star players. Several major players in that transaction, Howard and Iguodala, chose to leave, and Bynum belonged to the 76ers.

Although the title of No. [-] center belongs to Xiang Chu, Howard is still a rare and powerful insider. Last season, he and the Lakers delayed the other, depending on their respective performances.

The Rockets started the new season pretty well, not as good as the Nuggets, but better than they were last season.

Howard came over, and Asik, who the Rockets dug over last season, naturally sat on the bench.

In addition, in order to match the team's outside core Harden's style of play, Jeremy Lin was sent to the bench.

The Rockets belong to the type that thinks people are ugly, but the players have no choice. They can only control their own destiny if they perform better.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets defended both Harden and Howard well.

But what I didn't expect was that Parsons broke out when he came up, no matter how he hit two or three points. With his performance in double figures in a single quarter, the Nuggets were in a backward position.

Perhaps because of the back-to-back relationship, the Nuggets' three-point shooting rate was very poor. Only Dunleavy made a hit in the first half.

During the rotation period, Jeremy Lin showed his power and blasted the old Miller, and Motaiyunas also beat Mozgov.

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

This is the first time in the new season that their substitute lineup has never fought against each other.

In the third quarter, Xiang Chu showed his prowess. He first made Howard five fouls, and then beat Motaiyunas, who came off the bench, five fouls.

The Rockets didn't want the fifth position in the last 2 minutes and played a small lineup.

But with Xiang Chu playing like this, the Rockets are leading.

After guarding against Parsons, Beverly hit a three-pointer, and Casspi came off the bench. The Rockets are really all soldiers.

Moreover, Motiejunas and Terrence Jones also hit three-pointers when they pulled to the outside line. The Rockets were too accurate.

Howard played again in the final quarter, and George Karl even took foul tactics when Xiang Chu was resting.

When Howard made all six free throws, the Nuggets understood that today's Rockets are too wicked.

Howard claimed to have practiced hard in the summer, but the free throws before this game were still a mess, and he broke out on the Nuggets.

He himself is also very happy. He was aggrieved when he played against the Nuggets last season.

However, being too arrogant also has hidden dangers. After Xiang Chu played again, Howard graduated with six offenses. He relied on the Nuggets' hacking tactics to score in double figures. The gap with Xiang Chu is very intuitive.

To be honest, Howard is not very suitable for the Rockets. The Lakers want to speed up, and the Rockets are the same.

His main reason is that he has a relatively large psychological gap. In the Magic, he is the boss and the core. When it comes to the Lakers, life is not smooth, and he will not have the same treatment as before when he comes to the Rockets.

The big ball market and the small ball market sometimes depend on choices, not all players can conquer the big ball market.

Xiang Chu scored 42 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks back to back, so the team still lost, so sometimes there is no way, the Nuggets do not have another All-Star player.

Maybe he scored 50 points and the team can win the game, so he has to continue to get better.

Xiang Chu missed Pau Gasol again. After comparison, he found that it was convenient to feed a big center like him, a player with tall arms and long arms. The twin-tower tactic is not very popular now, but it was romantic when he watched the game.

As long as there is a loss, all kinds of remarks that are not good for the team will come out.

"He's good, but so what. In Denver he can't lead the team to a better result than last season. The start doesn't mean anything. They don't have enough background to continue. George Karl can do it. Tired Xiang Chu to death."

Many people agree with this kind of remarks. Maybe some people don’t like them, and some people are just messing up the water. Many teams want a player like Xiang Chu. Although the Nuggets are unlikely to let him go, try It's not going to happen.

If the relationship between Xiang Chu and the Nuggets deteriorates, maybe something will happen.

Xiang Chu really didn't have time to pay attention to these, his enthusiasm was all on training.

Last season he did more personal training, this season he focused on leading everyone.

"Yes, push forward, don't care about being passed, I will be behind."

"Xiang Chu, you did a good job, but the defense does not depend on one or two people. Gentlemen, you need to maintain your focus. When there is an open space, someone will fill it, and then his position will be filled by someone behind. By analogy, the stadium It’s only that big, as long as we work hard enough, the opponent won’t have a comfortable shot.”

Defense is mainly focus and habit, or the general defense of All-Star players can't handle it, but the average team can rely on team defense to handle it, even if there is no single-defense master in this team.

There are teams in the league with single-defense masters and more than one team is still bad at defending, and there are also teams that don't have an outstanding personal defender, but can make a good defense.

Now the Nuggets' offense is as simple as possible, so they will have the opportunity to catch more defenses.

George Karl didn't think so, but who made Xiang Chu the ace? The idea of ​​the team boss often has a greater impact on the team than the coach.

After putting more energy into the team, Xiang Chu spent more time at home with his fiancée.

Apart from playing games to relax, the two of them also had many topics about their careers. The restaurant was originally opened according to the two's ideas, and Olivia also knew more and more about basketball.

She's a celebrity on social media, and a lot of it is about basketball.

After managing the restaurant, she can no longer accept most of the small advertisements, because she is of the same type, but compared with that income, the restaurant has a much better prospect.

After operating for a period of time, I knew that the restaurant made a lot of money completely relying on the fans of the two.

And based on the reaction during this period, everyone is quite satisfied with the food and service of the restaurant.

Olivia will also sort out customer feedback and make adjustments based on actual conditions.

Xiang Chu is not very proficient in business, but he understands that the first element of catering is delicious food, and the other is cleanliness, so he asked Olivia to grasp the key points, and rely on their fame to make a fortune, not to mention, Stable money is certain.

They choose catering because the first investment should be based on stability.
