The strongest basket king

Chapter 243
In the Nuggets' game against the Nets, Faried returned to the starting lineup.

They are still trying to start with one big and four small ones. The Nets also have a double inside configuration, so the team still uses the previous lineup.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets' starting outside line had no touch, and the Nets' Joe Johnson singles Fournier's shooting rate was very high.

The opponent used Lopez to support Xiang Chu and Garnett to help defend. The Nuggets must have space outside, but Knight and Jefferson didn't feel good.

George Karl has a little headache at this point. Knight's starting lineup cannot be changed, and Jefferson's role is not mainly for scoring. As a veteran who has played in the finals, his experience, he and the defensive and passing teams are need.

As for Fournier, it seems that there is not much difference between anyone now, it is better than the players selected for the team.

Joe Johnson's shooting percentage in the opening game was scary, and the Nuggets responded quickly, and began to make substitutions and adjustments before this quarter.

After the team made adjustments, there was no immediate effect.

The situation did not change until both sides had a large number of substitute players.

The old Miller also didn't feel good today, but when he deployed the ball from the outside, the outside line opened.

Belinelli and Middleton hit consecutively, and Chandler and Dunleavy also made three-pointers later.

In this way, the Nuggets, who were behind by almost 10 points, had already surpassed their opponents and led by double digits in the second quarter.

The three-pointer is really terrible. Xiang Chu didn't expect the team's three-pointer to become so ruthless at the beginning of the season.

With the touch on the outside, it is much easier for George Karl to adjust the lineup.

If there are three points, other aspects can be relaxed. For players who can enter the league, the touch can last at least half the time, and it is normal for players who specialize in shooting to be stable throughout the game.

Therefore, the Nuggets generally only need to put the substitutes on the court for a while, and they will know who should be given more opportunities in this game.

As for the chance of three points, there must be. If you have the ability, don't flank Xiang Chu to help defend. Xiang Chu can blow up the opponent by himself. A powerful insider is so arrogant.

In fact, Howard, the number one center, didn't do this at all before. His offensive methods are too simple, and he can make many teams fearful, let alone Xiang Chu.

Although Kidd, the new coach of the Nets, is coaching for the first time, he is a very thoughtful person. He was good at tactics when he was a player.

During the intermission, he also asked for many details.

In the third quarter, they wanted to replicate the advantages they had in the first quarter, and then make the details better, without giving the Nuggets a chance to adjust.

However, what they didn't expect was that Knight opened this up.

Knight has almost recovered physically now. In fact, he didn't play at the beginning of the season. Now he needs to integrate into the team. He still has strength.

Deron didn't play, and the Nets released his three-pointers. After adjusting in the second half, he made consecutive hits.

Then there was nothing. Then, the Nuggets suddenly expanded their lead to more than 20 points, and there was a trend of continuous expansion.

In this way, the fourth quarter became garbage time, and Xiang Chu finally enjoyed the treatment of clocking out of get off work in three quarters this season.

Of course, his double-double has not been broken.

The team's winning is definitely the most important thing, but if you can keep the record by the way, why not do it.

He is now the No.1 active player with consecutive double-doubles, and he wants to see how far he can go in the end.

Eight consecutive victories are easy, and the Nuggets' road trip feels pretty good now. They can play like this on the road, and the shadow of a strong team has become deeper and deeper.

Next, they will fly directly to Cleveland to play back-to-back away games. Xiang Chu and George Karl also had some exchanges after checking into the hotel.

They are doing well now, how the team will continue, both of them must have a firm mind.

"In fact, Wilson told me twice that he actually wants to return to the starting position." George Karl laughed.

Xiang Chu gave George Karl an angry look. This old man likes to talk about things on purpose. He has already thought about how Chandler will arrange it.

"There is not much to discuss. I will also talk to him, old man. Now the key is to improve the weak links of the team, as well as defense and stability issues."

Before Chandler played the sixth man, it was due to a lot of minor injuries. Now, the organizational ability of the first position is not strong enough. Xiang Chu needs a second point to pass the ball to him, and Chandler is just not good at this.

In fact, there are still many players who want to become the main force. Players like Belinelli and Dunleavy have no ideas, but some people will not be the team's long-term plan for the time being.

For a team like the Nuggets, if there are rookies who can play, they are their favorites.

Because they can sign first, they can't stop the players signed from outside if they want to leave. Iguodala was an example before, and the small ball market can't afford to hurt.

Therefore, the management also hopes to give opportunities to players like Fournier and Middleton. In fact, the management had a request last season. It’s just that George Karl didn’t give face in order to renew the contract. Anyway, the rookie players other than Xiang Chu didn’t perform very well. outstanding.

This season's private alliance with Xiang Chu is different. Xiang Chu needs some newcomers who have grown up with him, because it is too difficult for the Nuggets to sign big-name stars from outside.

At first they felt that Knight and Fournier were players who needed to focus on training, but now Middleton's performance has added options to them.

But the team's need for ball-holding points has not changed. In addition, the high-end requirements are people who are better at passing the ball to Xiang Chu. Xiang Chu can grab offensive rebounds, but it is not easy to score easily after receiving the ball.

If you can't get an outside ball-holding point, you can trade a big Gasol-type player to form a twin tower with Xiang Chu, Xiang Chu is also very happy.

It's a pity that the Lakers have to go through several seasons of trading rumors for Gasol this season due to injuries, and it is difficult for the Nuggets to match Gasol's current contract, otherwise they would really have an idea.

The conversation between Xiang Chu and George Karl is not actually a question of who will play the main force. The current situation of the team and the discussion of some details of the tactics are the main content of their transaction.

Most of the Nuggets' tactics now serve the core of Xiang Chu. He must have a need for discussion. If the relationship between him and the head coach before may only be tasted, but there is no need to worry too much now.

Fortunately, George Karl is also relatively bachelor. On the surface, he is a serious and dignified person, but the two have reached a deal before, and he can also lower his dignity.

It's all for victory and profit. What's the problem with building a good relationship with the core of the team? It's no different from pleasing the management.

Besides, he is not the only coach who pleases the core of the team, he is only in private, some coaches lick it openly, Xiang Chu usually pays attention to saving face.
