Chapter 247
The 76ers' young players panicked and there was a problem with their shooting choices. Their outside shooting percentage had been very good before.
The Nuggets seized the opportunity, Knight and Middleton also made three-pointers, and their lead suddenly reached double-digit numbers.
After taking the lead too much, the Nuggets have completely controlled the game.
The 76ers now have no backbone, and they have no idea how to play after the score gap has grown.
Their trusted head coach Brett Brown did not make any adjustments, and the game soon disappeared without any suspense. In the end, when the Nuggets had already scored most of the main players, Jordan Hamilton made another three-pointer, which was considered a whip.
Xiang Chu only played for more than 30 minutes and scored 31 points, with 16 rebounds and 5 blocks, which was another shocking data, but everyone was already used to it.
The Nuggets won eleven consecutive victories, and their only last away game in the East was left.
I played two away games back-to-back in the East. Although I fought, many players had some problems with their physical condition, which was really tiring.
At the beginning of the season, most players were prone to physical strength not keeping up due to changes in their lives. Now is the first time that their physical strength is in crisis. They have encountered a bad schedule again, and it is already very good that no one was injured.
The training scheduled by the Nuggets now is very simple, mainly to let them adjust their state.
"Everyone insist on it. After this game, we can go back to Denver to make adjustments for two days." Xiang Chu said to everyone while waiting for the game.
"To be honest, I miss the food in Denver a little, haha." Farid smiled optimistically.
Although his starting lineup is a bit dangerous, he is one of the most optimistic people on the team.
In fact, when fighting against the Wizards, the Nuggets used the starter of one, one, four, and Farid became a substitute.
The Wizards didn't start particularly well this season, so they were wandering around the top eight, but compared to previous years, they have been very good this time.
They didn't have any amazing moves in the summer, their performance changes were completely the growth of Wall and Bill, and they had renewed Wall's contract in advance.
In fact, the Nuggets management also talked with Xiang Chu about the issue of early renewal. They were willing to give generous conditions. Jim Smith was tempted, but Xiang Chu was not in a hurry.
He is not worried that accidents will become a laughing stock. He is confident that the opponent will give him better after the season is over. It is not just the issue of maximum salary or no maximum salary, but also more details.
This game of Bills' absence from the Wizards is good news for the Nuggets, who have weak single defense scores at the No. 2 position, but their offense was constipated again at the beginning of the game.
Not only others, Xiang Chu felt a little tired. He still exerted his strength in these games, but more of the fatigue caused were planes and buses.
Xiang Chu signaled everyone to stay calm, "Brandon, watch Wall well, I believe you can."
As a newly emerging young defender in the East, Wall is not that easy to solve, but the Nuggets only need Knight to cause some trouble for the opponent. Their overall strength is stronger than the opponent, and this is not a one-on-one challenge.
The Nuggets are getting slower into the form, and Wall has made consecutive hits from the outside.
But in the end of the first quarter, Knight also made a three-pointer, and Middleton, who started for the second time, also made a three-pointer.
After Chandler and Dunleavy came on the court, it was time for the Nuggets to launch a big counterattack.
Their performance is much better than the Wizards' substitute. Webster, who renewed the contract in the summer, did not fully support the strength of the rotation period.
The Nuggets have completely suppressed their opponents in the second quarter, and the Wizards can only rely on Wall's personal ability to support them.
The team's substitute player played well, so Xiang Chu only had two more minutes of rest.
This is really good. You don’t need to overdraw and force yourself to the end. In fact, he is ready to fight in this game, and then return to the home court and then slowly adjust.
Now that his teammates stood up, he was very happy.
This is the style of a strong team. If he needs to support himself, problems will easily occur at critical moments.
Before the end of the first half, Ariza scored several good goals, and the Wizards finally locked the score gap between the two sides at 9 points, not turning it into a double digit.
George Carl was also very happy that the team played like this, and he praised the whole team again.
"We are playing more and more teams. We are already a real whole, a whole that other teams cannot defeat. You are doing very well. I have no more to say. You are great."
Xiang Chu was double-teamed in the first half, and the data was the worst among several games, but he also felt very good.
"You know, staying in a hotel is not that comfortable, and I'm a little tired, so I took them down in one go. I can't wait to go to Denver."
His words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere in the locker room was particularly relaxed.
In the third quarter, the wizards still chose to attack Xiang Chu.
It gives people the feeling that you can lose the game, but Xiang Chu must definitely lock it.
However, it was a little bit short of them to completely lock Xiang Chu. Their center Gotat assisted defense is OK, and the single defense is completely below level. If it weren't for Trevo Booker's assisted defense, Xiang Chu would have beaten the opponent long ago.
And even if you may catch the ball on the offensive end, Xiang Chu can help the team, whether it is rebounding or assisting defense.
After Xiang Chu repeatedly blocked Wall and Ariza, the Wizards' offense completely stopped.
As for Gott, he was blocked twice in the first half, and now he has been unable to survive.
The Nuggets started to have some irony on the outside, but after both sides had difficulty scoring, they still came out first.
Middleton hit a three-pointer again, and this guy shot decisively. In addition, the defensive side had a good wingspan and had difficulty interfering with each other, so he grew so fast in the Nuggets.
The Nuggets have already started scoring, but the Wizards' scoring drought has not been lifted.
In this case, the Nuggets successfully expanded their lead to double digits.
It will be difficult for the Wizards to chase back again because no one scored points.
The Nuggets had greater restrictions on Wall in the second half, and it was difficult for the rest of their team to stand up.
When Wall was strictly guarded, Ariza hit two three-pointers, but after constantly hitting irons.
By the end of the quarter, the Wizards were still working hard, but their chances of reversing the game are no longer great.
On the Nuggets side, there are ten players in rotation, and everyone plays very easily.
Both Chandler and Dunleavy played well, but Xiang Chu played less after winning the double-double. In the last three minutes, the Nuggets' main players clocked in and got off work.
Xiang Chu only scored 21 points and 12 rebounds in this game. The data that is good for others is just ordinary for him, but the team easily won.
Of course, he also had the credit for seven blocks.
During the away trip to the East, the Nuggets finally achieved six consecutive victories, and their total winning streak also reached twelve games, leading the way in the new season.
