The strongest basket king

Chapter 543
Xiang Chu is going to play an away game, and Olivia is already arranging the celebration place for the little guy's first birthday at home.

There are still a few days left, and the little guy is still ignorant, Olivia is just what I want to commemorate.

In the early stage of investment management, there are not so many things to do, mainly because she doesn't have so many things to do, and those trivial things don't need her to do, in fact, it still depends on the performance after a few months.

This guy is always full of energy at the beginning, and after a few days, he returns to the essence of salted fish.

This is the trouble of doing a good job as a deputy. Her income from playing social media is very stable.

The first back-to-back away game is the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies are in a very poor state during this time.

They have already lost three games in a row, mainly due to various injuries.

However, they are still in sixth place in the Western Conference. They had a chance to hit fifth in the Western Conference, but it would be nice to be able to keep this position now.

The Grizzlies' core players, Black and White Shuangxiong and Conley, now only Randolph is left.

Such misery is also related to the Grizzlies' style of play. High-intensity confrontation may not be a problem when players are young, but repeated injuries may occur when they are older.

Because there was no one, the Grizzlies signed Farmar, who hadn't played before, to save him.

In their current starting lineup, no one can score except for Randolph, but the bench is better, with Stephenson, Carter and others.

As the Nuggets expected before the game, the Grizzlies' tactic is to find a way to let Randolph singles.

Not to mention that the Nuggets have been staring at Randolph, even if the ball is successfully passed to Randolph, his current singles efficiency is very average.

And the Grizzlies' veteran birdman Anderson at the fifth position has no obstacles to Xiang Chu at all.

The Nuggets took the lead smoothly, and they didn't care about the slow pace of the Grizzlies.

It is more difficult for weak teams to come back at a slow pace, and the Nuggets are very cooperative with the Grizzlies' meekness.

It was a bit of a surprise that the Grizzlies had an X factor off the bench, with sophomore JaMichael Green playing well, which kept the Nuggets from taking a bigger lead anytime soon.

But after the main players of both sides played again, the Grizzlies were once again in an awkward position.

Their current offense is really poor, and their defense has also declined due to injuries. Although Farmar broke out and hit 2 three-pointers, the Nuggets still lead steadily to double digits.

The Grizzlies have been really miserable during this time, and they actually have a lot of requirements for the stability of the lineup.

Randolph is old, and without Gasol Jr. inside, the Grizzlies simply can't go on.

During the halftime break, the Nuggets were relatively relaxed. While replenishing their food, they studied how to play in the second half. They mainly focused on Randolph, and the Grizzlies didn't have too many choices.

Others may explode, but the slow pace of the Grizzlies, no matter who explodes the Nuggets can react, it is basically impossible for the opponent to come back.

The Grizzlies actually want to win, they are very unwilling, if not for the injury, they would not be so miserable this season.

Randolph is almost desperate, but he can't get the Nuggets with just a hard chisel.

The score gap is still widening, but the Grizzlies are really tenacious, and they played a successful climax during the rotation.

Carter, Stevens, and the undrafted pick Monford, this group of substitute players played a wave of offense and the Nuggets also felt the danger. Less than 3 minutes into the final quarter, the Nuggets also replaced the main players one after another.

The Nuggets will not work hard for a regular season, but they are not allowed to win and walk away.

After Xiang Chu played, the Grizzlies' point-chasing journey was over.

Coach Jogel gritted his teeth and let Randolph be the best, hoping that the outside line can continue to maintain his touch.

But the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Xiang Chu can expand the outside line of the Nuggets on the court, and it is impossible to maintain a high shooting rate.

The point is, the Grizzlies are not a team that relies on role players to explode, they don't play like that.

Time entered the last 5 minutes, and the Grizzlies could only let the old Carter play with the ball.

Carter's state is okay for old players, but it is impossible to rely on him to reverse the game.

Moreover, Randolph can't guard Xiang Chu at all, and the Nuggets are very stable on the offensive end.

When the game entered the last 2 minutes, the score gap between the two teams had not yet narrowed, and the Grizzlies even pulled Randolph out to shoot a three-pointer.

Randolph did hit a three-pointer, but it didn't have much impact on the outcome of the game.

The Nuggets finally won the game by 8 points. The Grizzlies persisted to the end and deserve respect, but the victory belongs to the Nuggets.

Seeing the depression of the Grizzlies now is also a wake-up call for the Nuggets.

The athlete's body will definitely not be worth the loss in the end. The Grizzlies have been thunderous and rainy these years, which is also the case. Their tactics need to be more flexible.

The Nuggets' second back-to-back away game is New Orleans, which is quite far from Denver.

Olivia looked very happy with the little guy in the phone video, and intentionally teased the video.

Seeing the appearance of his family, Xiang Chu also felt very happy, and it was more exciting to practice strength in the hotel.

The Pelicans have a bad record this season. You must know that they didn't have a bad plan at the beginning, and they didn't have rookies to train. Davis is already an All-Star and not a rookie.

But due to injuries, they missed the playoffs early on.

Of course, after changing the head coach, their defense is too weak is also the main reason.

Davis' defense is good, and the Pelicans' defense can be as talented as a bad team.

If they don't find a way to improve their defense, then this team will not achieve very good results in the future, and it is impossible not to work hard to become better in the West.

The five strengths of the Pelicans in this game, Davis, Holiday, Anderson, Gordon, and Evans are all truce, which probably means giving up the season.

Anyway, if the team can't make it to the playoffs, then the strength of the team should simply take a good rest.

No matter what other teams think, what the Nuggets have to do is to play the game seriously.

You can't take it lightly because the opponent's lineup is not complete. Sometimes it is easier for all role players to overturn, because you don't know the details of the opponent, and it is difficult to be targeted in defense.

The Nuggets encountered such a situation in the first quarter. The Pelicans outside Tony Douglas had a hot start, and Luke Babbitt at the fourth position also made consecutive hits from outside the three-point line.

The Nuggets were led by the opponent at once, and they were a little caught off guard.

Fortunately, as a strong team, the Nuggets adjusted quickly because they have an absolute advantage inside.

In fact, the Pelicans still have a meat shield. Asik is the starter, and Perkins and Akinsa are on the bench. It is estimated that the Pelicans also considered having enough insiders in the West, but they did not expect that they would not be able to make the top eight.

The Nuggets first changed the rhythm to stabilize the form, and then waited until the Pelicans' wave of touches passed before resolutely counterattacking, and the game was still in their hands.
