Chapter 361
When the All-Star vote was reached, Olivia could no longer sit still.
Xiang Chu knew very well that even if he was not sure, Olivia would secretly cause trouble. He simply set a time. Olivia only carried out some command activities and did not follow others to fight online.
"Don't worry, husband, I will be honest." Olivia said pitifully.
Xiang Chucai didn't believe it, but he would have been in Denver more often during this period and would supervise it personally.
He also canvassed votes for his teammates again. The team's performance was the result of everyone's efforts. He could not take any benefits, but he certainly could not guarantee that his teammates could become the All-Star.
In comparison, the competition in the West is much more intense.
Of course, he just paid a little attention and did not focus on this.
The only thing the Nuggets should do now is to play well and rank in the top four in the Western Conference.
On December 10, the Heat visited Pepsi Center.
The Heat's starter is actually less than James compared to last season.
However, James' combat power can be said to be half as good as the starter, and they do not have a stable substitute like Ray Allen.
So even if they signed Lore Deng and Danny Granger to add to the small forward position, their strength has also declined a lot from last season.
But unexpectedly, they couldn't even keep a 50% winning rate.
They initially tried to continue the tactics of last season, but now they have been released. When they face the Nuggets, they chose to go to center and release Bosh.
Their starting fifth position is Justin Hamilton. This guy has nothing outstanding in the inside, mainly because he has a three-point shooting range.
Although he suffered a great loss in Xiang Chu's hands, the Heat was a bit infatuated.
Of course, Xiang Chu gave back to the other party, using inside offense and rebounding to teach the other party to be a good person.
The Heat's main attack was Bosh and Lore Deng. Wade didn't feel very good in this game, and he only got a shot when he rushed in from the inside.
Hamilton quickly couldn't hold on in the inside, and the Heat immediately replaced veteran Haslem.
Haslem has no advantage in front of Xiang Chu, and he feels that the Heat are a little sick and eager to seek medical treatment.
The Nuggets' outside line is also a bit slow to heat up, but Xiang Chu still has a certain advantage.
But Farid didn't play, and their defense problems at the fourth position were even more obvious. The Heat's substitute forward Sean Williams also played well from the game.
But the substitute lineup is still better. Chandler and Dunleavy play well, and the Nuggets' leading advantage is also expanding step by step.
After Xiang Chu returned to the court again, the Heat were suppressed and breathless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wade used his personal ability to play a few goals, which did not make the Heat fall too much behind in the first half.
But they were indeed restricted by the Nuggets, and both sides were very familiar opponents. Even if the Nuggets do not have full firepower on the offensive end, their defense is very good.
The Heat knew that limiting Xiang Chu would have a chance, but they couldn't do it.
"We still have the ability to win the game." Heat coach Spoelstra said loudly during the break.
"Sometimes it seems more difficult, but I believe everyone can overcome it."
Successful coaches will give chicken soup, and Spoelstra is no exception, but the Heat really can't keep up with this game because they are playing back-to-back.
Spoelstra hopes that Bosh can have more offenses in the second half, and the league knows where the Nuggets’ weakest link is.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Bosh made a firm move, but unfortunately he failed to hit the three-pointer.
The Heat felt even more tired after taking a break, and all of them had problems with their hit percentages.
The Nuggets will not let this time go. Taking advantage of the opponent's lack of physical strength, Xiang Chu grabbed frontcourt rebounds and led the team to make efficient attacks.
The Nuggets' lead has expanded to double digits, and then it has reached 20.
The final quarter soon entered garbage time, and both sides sent a substitute lineup.
The substitute lineup is also stronger, and there is nothing to say, but the Heat's basic center Whiteside, who has performed a bit brighter this season, has scored, blocked, and rebounded in just a few minutes. Mozgov was a little confused.
This was just a small episode, and the Nuggets won the game smoothly.
Wade was very unhappy after the game. The Heat did not perform well and he was under too much pressure this season.
He sprayed the schedule directly, "The second game in Denver is the worst back-to-back game in all the league schedules, and the league should cancel such a schedule."
Xiang Chu smiled after learning Wade's complaint: "I think all back-to-back can be cancelled, but the league did not do this, so we can only win."
Their back-to-back plays well for the time being and are qualified to play this comparison.
In fact, the Nuggets will also play back-to-back next time. Of course, they are definitely not as tiring as the second game in Denver. They have high altitude and terrifying strength.
They faced their competitors in the West in the next few games, and Xiang Chu also spoke during training, saying that they must make the other party look good.
The strong teams in the West are usually more stable against ordinary teams, so it is better to overtake directly.
The Nuggets are also ready to go, and everyone believes that they are the best.
Farid recovered well from his injury and could come back early, but Garlinari felt a little uncomfortable, so the team decided to let him rest.
The Nuggets' No. 4 position is empty, but it is also a problem if there is no team or two.
Chandler took the initiative to find George Carl at this time, hoping to play the main force.
He was in good shape during this period, so it was fine to let him replace the main player, but when Garlinari came back, the team still tended to Garlinari.
Neither of them are rookies, and their skills have been set. When they are in a stable state, Gallinari is going to be stronger, and Gallinari's style is more suitable for the team.
Chandler's meaning is definitely not just a few starting games. His performance is better than some main players during this period, so he has more thoughts in his mind.
When he came back after being injured, he lost his main player. Gallinari was injured for a year and the team was still given the main player. He felt a knot in this different treatment.
But in many cases, competitive sports are like this, and humanity must be ranked behind strength.
Everyone knows his situation, and it's nothing to say about it now.
Farid also had some ideas, but he was a young man after all, so he didn't mind too much, otherwise the atmosphere of participating in the team would definitely be affected.
Xiang Chu doesn't care about this, his request for everyone is that no one can lose the chain in the next Western Civil War. If anyone doesn't focus on the game, his team boss is not fake.
