Chapter 243 Easily crushed
In the Nuggets' match against the Nets, Farid returned to the starting lineup.
They are still trying to start the first and fourth small starts, and the Nets are also in a double-in-one configuration, so the team still uses the previous lineup.
At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets' starting lineup was not touched, and Joe Johnson, who was singles from Fournier, had a high shooting percentage.
The opponent used Lopez to face Xiang Chu, Garnett assisted in defense, and there must be room for the Nuggets on the outside, but Knight and Jefferson felt bad.
George Carl had a little headache about this. Knight's starting lineup cannot be replaced, and Jefferson's role is mainly not scoring. As a veteran who has played in the Finals, his experience, he and the defense and passing teams need it.
As for Fournier, it seems that no one can make a difference now, so it is better to choose the players for the team.
Joe Johnson's shooting percentage at the opening was scary, and the Nuggets responded quickly and began to make substitutions before this quarter.
After the team made adjustments, there was no immediate effect.
The situation did not change until both sides were on a large number of substitutes.
Old Miller also felt bad today, but when he was adjusting the ball on the outside, he opened the outside.
Belinelli and Middleton made consecutive hits, and Chandler and Dunleavy also scored three points later.
In this way, the Nuggets, who were originally behind by almost 10 points, had already surpassed the opponent and led by double digits by the second quarter.
Three-pointers are so terrible. Xiang Chu never thought that the team's three-pointers would become so ruthless at the beginning of the season.
With the touch of the outside, George Carl will be much easier to adjust the lineup.
If you have three points, you can relax other aspects. Players who can enter the league can last at least halftime, and it is normal for players who specialize in shooting to be stable throughout the game.
So the Nuggets usually just put the substitute on the court and know who should give more opportunities in this game.
As for the chance of three-pointers, there must be one. If you have the ability, don’t attack Xiang Chu to defend against him. Xiang Chu can beat his opponent alone. The powerful inside line is so arrogant.
In fact, Howard, the first striker, has not achieved this level before. His offensive methods are too single, and he can make many teams afraid, let alone Xiang Chu.
Although this is his first coach, Kidd, the Nets' new coach, is a very thoughtful person and is good at tactics when he was a player.
During the intermission, he also made demands on many details.
In the third quarter, they wanted to copy the advantages of the first quarter and then make the details better, not giving the Nuggets a chance to adjust.
However, what they didn't expect was that Knight had opened up.
Knight's body has recovered almost the same, but he hasn't played at the beginning of the season. Now he needs to integrate into the team, so he still has strength.
Deron did not play, and the Nets released his three-pointer. After adjusting in the second half, he made consecutive hits.
Then there was nothing else. The Nuggets suddenly expanded their lead to more than 20 points and had a trend of continuous expansion.
In this way, the fourth quarter turned into garbage time, and Xiang Chu finally enjoyed the treatment of clocking in and getting off work in the third quarter this season.
Of course, his double pair has not yet broken.
The team is definitely the most important thing to win, but why not do it if you can keep the record by the way.
He is now the first player in a row to double-double for active players, and he wants to see how far he can finally do it.
It is easy to win eight consecutive games, and the Nuggets' away trip is now quite good. They can play like this away game, and the shadow of the 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 Carl also had some exchanges after checking in the hotel.
They have good results now, so both of them must have a clear idea of how the team will continue.
"Actually, Wilson has told me twice. He actually wants to return to the starting position." George Carl smiled.
Xiang Chu gave George Carl a angrily glance. The old man liked to deliberately talk about some topics. He had already thought about how Chandler would arrange it on purpose.
"There is not much to discuss. I will also talk to him. Old man, the key now is to improve the team's weak links, as well as defense and stability issues."
Chandler used to play the sixth man because of many minor injuries. Now, he is not strong enough in the organizational ability of the No. 1 position. Xiang Chu needs a second point to pass the ball to him, and Chandler happens to be not good at this.
In fact, there are many players who want to become the main player. Do players like Belinelle and Dunleavy have no ideas? But some people will not be the team's long-term plan for the time being.
If there are rookies to play in teams like the Nuggets, they are their favorite.
Because they can sign first, they can't stop the players who sign outside if they want to leave. Iguodala ahead is an example, and the small ball market cannot afford to be injured.
Therefore, the management also hopes to give players such as Fournier and Middleton opportunities. In fact, the management had requirements last season, but George Carl did not give face to renew his contract. Anyway, the players in Xiang Chu's rookie stage did not perform very well.
This season, the situation of alliance with Xiang Chu in private 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 thought Knight and Fournier were players who needed to be trained, but now Middleton's performance has added choices to them.
However, the team's point of holding the ball has not changed. In addition, the high-end requirement is that people who are better at passing the ball to Xiang Chu. Xiang Chu can grab the frontcourt rebounds, but it is not as easy as scoring after catching the ball.
If you can't get the ball holding point on the outside, you can trade a player of the Grand Gasol type to form a double tower with Xiang Chu, and Xiang Chu is also very happy.
Unfortunately, the Lakers have to go through several seasons of trading rumors due to injury this season, and it is difficult for Gasol to match the current contract of the Nuggets, otherwise they will have any ideas.
The conversation between Xiang Chu and George Carl is not actually a question of who plays the main player. The current situation of the team and the discussion of some details of the tactics are the main contents of their transactions.
Now most of the Nuggets' tactics are for Xiang Chu, the core, and he must have a need to discuss it. If his previous relationship with the head coach might have to be brief, but there is no need to worry too much now.
Fortunately, George Carl is also a bachelor. He is a serious and respectful person on the surface, but the two have reached a deal before, so he can also keep his face.
It’s all for victory and interests, and what’s the problem with establishing a good relationship with the team’s core? It’s no different from pleasing the management.
