Chapter 378: No. 1 in the West

The Nuggets continue to win streak, but the team's health has also gone wrong, and Belinelli is also on the verge.

The Nuggets have now started Gary Harris, and it can be said that all the players signed have been on the market.

Fortunately, the team's main players are better for the time being, and Gallinari has also trained with the team.

Fortunately, no major injuries were caused. Gallinari's physical condition needed to be adjusted because he had not played for a year.

Back at home, the team immediately had to play back-to-back, and the opponent was the weakest Timberwolves in the West.

Because of the back-to-back relationship, the Nuggets' start was not very good.

The Timberwolve Wiggins was crazy, neither Middleton nor Chandler could limit it.

At this time, the Nuggets had to go to three front lines and play intensity with the opponent.

Even back to back, they are defending champions that cannot be defeated casually.

In fact, the Nuggets still have the advantage on the tactical level, but Wiggins is in full swing.

After his efficiency slightly decreased, the situation on the field changed.

After the two sides entered the rotation, the situation became obvious, and Williams broke out in an unreasonable pattern.

The Nuggets quickly caught up with the score, and in the second quarter, Wiggins, who was under key control, had fewer opportunities, and the Timberwolves could only use Sadies Young to play their No. 4 position.

Diss Yang is a very mature player, playing steadily, but he will not explode.

At this time, the Timberwolves' young inside player Gorji Ji'ang had been beaten by Xiang Chu. Ji'ang had the ability to block, but he could not perform it in the confrontation.

After Dis Young put more energy into the offense, the Timberwolves' defense had problems.

It is difficult to have both offense and defense, not only many players, but also the same goes for the team.

However, after the Timberwolves' defense declined, the offense did not keep up. Except for Wiggins, other Timberwolves' offensive talent was weaker.

Wiggins is also a rookie and cannot perform well under the care of the Nuggets.

Therefore, when the Timberwolves had the advantage in the first quarter, they became the backward side in the second quarter.

In fact, there are still some opportunities in this Timberwolves, because many players from the Nuggets are not in shape because of back-to-back.

Maybe back-to-back is just part of the reason. The real situation is that the players are in a period of exhaustion, and this is why the team is constantly injured during this period.

Not only the Nuggets, but many teams do this, and it will be basically good after the All-Stars pass.

At that time, we will train new players and prepare for the playoffs. Many players in the league will be accustomed to this process.

During the halftime break, George Carl made arrangements for Wiggins. He is indeed the player who poses the greatest threat to the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are not very ahead of the game now, and if the other party is crazy, it is possible to make a mistake.

The Timberwolves also clarified the tactics during the intermission, which was the front-line attack.

The Nuggets' back line also has weak links, but the Timberwolves' back line is too weak.

The Nuggets' strategy of dealing with the front line or taking turns to defend, including Xiang Chu's defense.

The Timberwolves are not strong in three-pointers, and they don’t have that many concerns, just win the game at the lowest cost.

Of course, if the opponent really breaks out, they will also use pincer defense.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Timberwolves attacked at the third and fourth positions. Due to injuries, the Nuggets have fewer players playing now, and they are a little unstoppable.

Therefore, Xiang Chu strengthened the attack on the inside, and soon Ji'ang had already committed four fouls.

However, the Timberwolves don't have a good inside rotation at all now.

They even sent Radulica, who was soy sauce, but it was useless at all.

However, the Timberwolves' performance was already very good. They relied on the attack from the front line to bite the score.

But in the rotation period, the Nuggets began to open the score again.

Zach Lavine also played well, but she was still a little tender as a rookie.

The Timberwolves are very uncomfortable with team defense. The Nuggets are not hitting high on the outside, otherwise they would have won the game long ago.

In the last moment, Timberwolves veteran Morris Williams showed his strength and made continuous hits from the outside.

But at this time, the Timberwolves had been hit by Xiang Chu in the inside. When the opponent attacked him, Chandler scored 2 three-pointers from the outside, interrupting the Timberwolves' fantasy of chasing points.

The Nuggets won 12 consecutive victories, and they will face off against the Western Conference No. 1 Warriors.

If the Nuggets win the Warriors, they can be ranked first in the West.

So the reporter had no interest in their defeat of the Timberwolves, and just asked them about their understanding of the Warriors.

The Warriors didn't have this popularity before, so victory can bring everything.

The first collision between the two sides in the season was when the Nuggets went to Golden State to play away.

Xiang Chu also took the opportunity to go back to Xiang Jianzhong's house. Alexander let himself go in college. Xiang Jianzhong has been worrying about his son during this period.

In fact, it’s nothing. Under Xiang Jianzhong’s strict education, Alexander was able to graduate from university, and finding another job will stabilize.

That kid just likes to pick up girls, and life will be very comfortable if he doesn't make a few children.

This is also the normal trajectory of middle-class families like them. Xiang Chu is cheating after all.

Every time Xiang Chu comes over, he mainly chats with Xiang Jianzhong. This family atmosphere is very good occasionally.

The Warriors' players have not changed this season. They exploded after changing coaches and starting players. Cole has become famous directly in the coaching circle.

Kerr worked with Xiang Chu in the rookie game, and he was also very envious of the Nuggets having a player like Xiang Chu.

Before the game started, the coaches of both sides even blew each other up.

But after entering the game, both sides made arrangements to the extreme.

Cole carefully studied Xiang Chu, so he came up with the double protection of Bogut and Draymond Green.

The two of them did not participate in the offense at all and were wholeheartedly restricting Xiang Chu, which was actually inconsistent with the Warriors' usual game style.

In order to target the Nuggets, Col made a special arrangement.

The Warriors are not only as good as before, but their defense is also online this season.

In fact, the Nuggets have been keeping a close eye on the two strong points of Curry and Thompson, but their performance proves that there is a big difference between them and ordinary shooters.

In the first quarter, each of the Nuggets hit a three-pointer from four outsiders, but that's all, and it's not as good as Curry and Thompson.

The Nuggets' defense is not bad, and their offensive efficiency is slightly inferior to the Warriors.

After entering the rotation, Iguodala defended Williams with a tight defense, and Justin Holiday became a surprise player, making two consecutive three-pointers.

While Xiang Chu was resting below, the Warriors' lead expanded to double digits.

It was only then that the Nuggets realized that they underestimated the Warriors' desire to win. They felt that they were ready, but that was only aimed at the Warriors last season, not the current number one in the West.
