Chapter 128 Boos from the home fans

After a day off, the Nuggets began to head to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs away.

Because Chi Liang did not go with the team during the suspension period, but continued to stay in Denver City. While training with England, he occasionally went to the Rivers Boxing Gym to practice boxing.

This peak Spurs team is currently ranked second in the league. The two tower combination they have forms the most terrifying existence in the league.

When the lineup is complete, the Nuggets may still have some strength, but now lacking four players, he is naturally far from a match for the Spurs.

So after the game began, the Spurs had the upper hand from the beginning, and they always suppressed the Nuggets. No matter how hard the Nuggets tried, they were unable to stop them from scoring.

On the defensive end, the Nuggets have a very difficult time trying to score, and they often have to spend a lot of effort to get a shot.

In addition, compared with the previous game, McDace was in poor form and his efficiency was greatly lost under the defense of Duncan and Robinson.

By the end of the game, the Spurs scored in double digits and easily won the victory.

After losing the game, the Nuggets returned to Denver, this time playing against the Spurs at home.

Even if it was changed to home court, the Nuggets still had no strength to fight back against the powerful Spurs.

This time, McDace recovered and broke into Duncan, but in the end, his fists were hard to beat four hands and he did not escape the fate of being pressed on the ground by the Spurs' double towers.

McDace was puzzled. He believed that he could not limit the opponent's score when he was playing 55 with Duncan. However, he did not have a good helper and often finally broke through Duncan and faced Robinson's assisted defense.

After losing to the Spurs in a row, the Nuggets' morale was low, giving people the feeling of being a bottom team.

After three consecutive losses, the Nuggets rushed to Dallas overnight to challenge the Mavericks back to back away.

Before challenging the Mavericks, the Nuggets finally received good news. Van Exel successfully lifted the ban, which undoubtedly improved the overall strength of the Nuggets.

Compared with the Nuggets, the Mavericks have a worse record, but they are in a good lineup and their strength is even better than the current Nuggets.

In addition, back-to-back factors must be considered. Nuggets will be inadequate in physical fitness and may affect their condition.

From the beginning of the game, the Nuggets were suppressed by the Mavericks. In the first two minutes, they even fell into a scoring drought, and all their shots were missed.

Compared with the Nuggets, the Mavericks are more efficient than the Nuggets. By the time the Nuggets broke the scoring drought, they had already led the double-digit advantage.

The most speechless thing is that the Mavericks core Michael Finley began to explode. His touch was very hot, breakthrough, fast break, and three-pointers seemed to be omnipotent. Neither Williams nor John Taylor were able to stop Finley from scoring and let the other party ask for it.

By the end of the game, Michael Finley scored 43 points and 6 assists, winning the Mavericks.

After four consecutive losses, the Nuggets returned to home again, facing the Wizards back to back.

Yes, it’s so miserable to look back and forth!

This is also the second time the Nuggets have welcomed back-to-back viewing, but unlike last time, this time, the Nuggets are afraid that there will be more misfortunes and there is a high possibility that all of them will be defeated.

Although the record is not as strong as the Nuggets, the Wizards are very strong. Just look at their lineup. They have 'Rocks' Mickey Richmond and Juwan Howard.

Speaking of Mickey Richmond, perhaps not many fans are familiar with this name, but he is one of the best scorers in NBA history and is as famous as Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Chamberlain, Jabbar and others. He has become a player who averaged more than 21 points per game in the first 10 years of his career.

The great thing about Richmond is that he can continue to move forward after encountering difficulties and make a great career. All negative emotions cannot hinder him from moving forward. This professional spirit and discipline qualities allow him to achieve something and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future.

As for Zhu Wan Howard, he was the leader among the five Michigan tigers back then, and was also called "Uncle Huo Er". However, the one who is most talked about is his billion-dollar contract.

Although Zhu Wan Howard's performance has been getting worse every year after signing a contract of 100 million yuan, he is still in the ranks of top power forwards.

In terms of overall strength, Juwan Howard may be slightly inferior to McDace, but it is not much different.

After this game, Chi Liang is about to usher in his period of lifting the ban, but now he still has to sit on the bench.

Even though Chi Liang wanted to play, he could only wear casual clothes before the ban was lifted, watching his teammates start a battle against the Wizards at Pepsi Center.

There is no doubt that no player will like to sit on the sidelines and watch his teammates play, which makes him feel helpless, and it seems that winning or losing has nothing to do with him.

But he is eager to lead the team to victory, rather than watching the game boringly on the bench.

Unlike the previous game, the Nuggets' generals' feel has been restored and maintained a high hit rate.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky and met the Wizards, which were also hot-skinned.

In the first half, the two teams were in a stalemate stage, and they saw that the scores of both sides were constantly intertwined, and no one could do anything to each other.

However, during the third quarter, due to the "sequelae" of back-to-back viewing, the Nuggets encountered a physical crisis and began to gain the upper hand by the Wizards.

McDys wanted to turn the tide and successfully beat Howard in a low post, but the Wizards' Richmond obviously would not see the loss of advantage and use crazy scoring to curb the Nuggets' momentum.

In the subsequent process, no matter how hard the Nuggets tried, they were unable to reverse the decline. In the end, the Wizards had the last laugh.

After losing this game, the Denver Nuggets suffered a five-game losing streak, temporarily ranked tenth in the league.

Hoosh~

After the game, perhaps because of the recent team's poor record, the Pepsi Center's booing sounded at one point.

Even though only a few fans booed, the Nuggets' players still felt ache. They could only lower their heads and return to the locker room in a deep mood.

At this moment, the retired jersey floating in the stadium seemed to be affected and trembled gently in the breeze.

Some time ago, the Nuggets storm caused a youth storm. They repeatedly defeated the strong team, and seemed to be invincible. Strong teams including the Jazz, Lakers, and even the Spurs became the victims of the Nuggets.

However, after the fight, the Nuggets ushered in the longest losing streak of their season, and worst of all, they seemed to have lost their spirits.
