The strongest basket king

Chapter 342 Three Wins in a Row

The Thunder without hands really worked hard. In the fourth quarter, three of them committed six fouls, and the eight-man rotation happened to be the last five players left.

But a game is a game. After taking the lead by three-pointers, the Nuggets didn't give their opponents another chance.

In the final quarter, the team blossomed more and beat the Thunder with a 13-point advantage.

Xiang Chu also said after the game: "I admire their fighting spirit, but we will take away the victory."

"Injuries are an athlete's worst enemy, and I sincerely hope there are fewer injuries in the league."

The Nuggets played home and away in the first few games. After winning the Thunder, they returned to Denver.

After Olivia became pregnant, Xiang Chu basically returned home as soon as possible. Extra training was also on his own basketball court. It was also his responsibility to spend more time with his wife.

For the exquisite taste, they hired a professional manager.

In fact, after the initial upsurge of the restaurant passed, the number of reservations decreased a lot. After winning the championship, there was another wave of growth, but it will certainly not last forever.

Need some marketing ideas now, unfortunately Olivia has run out of time.

The manager they hired will perfectly solve all this. They will launch a theme every month, and the guests who make an appointment will get souvenirs related to the theme.

It's not very expensive, but it looks very caring.

Of course, it mainly relies on Xiang Chu's popularity to attract customers, and he will also play tricks on the dishes.

The money earned in this area may not be as good as Xiang Chu's endorsement, but it is their first successful investment, which is very meaningful.

If Olivia has the energy to start a franchise in the future, she may not be able to make a lot of money.

On April 11, the king came to visit.

The Kings mainly cleared some contracts in the summer. This season, Cousins ​​​​started to get a big contract and the team had to pay even less salary.

The Kings can be regarded as building a team around Cousins, but it is true that they are not very willing to spend money.

The Nuggets are not very willing to pay, but they did not exchange a bunch of players for air like the Kings did.

Thomas Jr., who averaged 20+ per game last season, was sent away. Thomas Jr. was a member of the second-round counterattack, but his height made the Kings not interested in him. This is also a reality.

The king's current No. [-] position is Darren Collison, and the cost performance is still good in terms of price. He is cheaper than Thomas Jr. for the same small guard.

Without Thomas Jr., the Kings are now focusing on Cousins ​​and Gay.

All three of them averaged 20+ per game last season, but they couldn't win. This season the Kings started off okay, and Cousins ​​has grown again. I feel that it is worth cultivating.

However, Cousins ​​was abused by Xiang Chu at the beginning. He has a variety of strengths and skills, but these are of little use against Xiang Chu.

It's just that the overall performance of the Nuggets is still not good. The atmosphere of the Nuggets training these days is good. In comparison, the state of the players is a bit ups and downs.

Now the most stable Knight, players who can hold the ball are still better at adjusting. Middleton, who performed well some time ago, has no touch in these two games.

On the bench, Williams has yet to find his touch. Fortunately, he still has one hand to deal damage, and other shooters will depend entirely on their feel.

The Nuggets' substitute performance was not as good as that of the Kings, and the score was also caught up by the opponent.

If there is no big weapon like Xiang Chu, they really can't beat the king in this state.

At halftime, the two teams tied at 51:51.

The Nuggets started with Faried, but neither Faried nor Gallinari performed well.

The Kings started with two big men, and the Nuggets also operated normally.

However, since the start of the regular season, the team has found that the situation is not as optimistic as the preseason.

Gallinari estimates that it will take some time to recover, and the regular season is still much more intense than the preseason.

George Karl was serious, "We are the defending champions. This title is not for you to show off, but to encourage you to play at a sufficient level. The team cannot rely on Xiang Chuyi, do you understand?"

"I need players who play well and I'm just going to give some of you more chances."

George Karl got angry, and the players didn't dare to speak much.

In the end, it was Xiang Chu who stood up to drive the atmosphere, "The coach is also doing it for our own good. Playing well in the league is worth a lot, but please don't be too nervous. This is the Pepsi Center, and I will lead everyone to defend the victory."

"It's enough for everyone to play hard game by game and gradually find their best form."

What Xiang Chu said about leading the team was not a joke. At the beginning of the third quarter, he increased his intensity inside, taking turns to attack Cousins ​​and Jason Thompson.

At this time, Fournier finally came to the feeling and hit 2 consecutive three-pointers.

In this way, the Nuggets gained the lead.

The lineup configuration that was underestimated by many people a year ago has now been regarded as a template by many people. The Nuggets' scoring ability is not fake. A strong inside and a bunch of shooters can test any team that faces them.

On the King's side, Collison performed well, but the others were a bit substandard.

Especially Gay didn't play very well. Although the opponent Middleton didn't play well either, as a quasi-All-Star player, Gay should be stronger than the third grader. Gold takes advantage.

In the second half, the king's substitute was better. Landry, who has always been very active on the bench, has been wandering every year and now comes to the king's Sessions, as well as Israel's Jordan Casspi, who played well.

Fortunately, Chandler, who had not scored a point in front of the Nuggets, suddenly felt that the bench lineup did not suffer too much.

Then in order to protect the home court, Xiang Chu didn't rest for too long.

After all, neither Mozgov nor Nurkic showed much performance. Xiang Chu had enough rest in the first half, and in the crucial fourth quarter, he had to show off to win the game.

Can Xiang Chu win the game with more RBIs? The answer is yes.

Cousins, who is big and round, feels like a child in front of Xiang Chu. He played fadeaway shots against Xiang Chu. Unfortunately, he is not an accurate outside player. The big center is forced to play with high difficulty, and his hit rate is conceivable. Known.

But at the end of the quarter, Gay finally stood up.

When the time entered the last 5 minutes, the scores of the two teams did not open, and the Nuggets only took a slight lead.

Gay has a feeling at this time that there is indeed a certain threat to the Nuggets.

After he scored 5 points in a row, the Kings tied the score.

But then, Xiang Chu ended Gay's singles with two defensive caps.

Everyone knows that Gay can't pass the ball in singles, and Xiang Chu's judgment is very accurate.

Two excellent defenses, and another dunk and two free throws on the offensive end, Xiang Chu made the goddess of victory stand on the side of the Nuggets again.

At the last moment, the King chose to force a three-pointer a little brainlessly.

After two missed three-pointers, the game was over, and the Nuggets won three consecutive victories in the new season.
