Chapter 573: Why don't I break another record?
Denver.
Historically, the city was one of the key cities of the Gold Rush.
At that time, I don't know how many people left their homes, so they came here with a shovel, hoping to make a fortune here.
On the gold rush road, there are many people who have fallen, but it still can't stop people's enthusiasm.
Not only Americans, but later, people from all over the world came to Denver and wanted to fight it, and gradually, a city was formed here.
Therefore, the Denver basketball team was named the Nuggets to commemorate the time when the city was founded.
The Nuggets had a good record last season, third in the West, and after sending away their star Carmelo Anthony for many years, relying on a group of young talents to get to that point, it is indeed not easy, and it is admirable.
Veteran coach George Carroll also made a fortune last season with many opponents winning the best coach award, the only pity is that in the playoffs, there are no players like Dingshen in the team, so he has to go out early.
There haven't been much personnel changes for the Nuggets this year, and it seems that these youngsters want to learn from the original Thunder and rely on their own ability to bring the team into a Western Conference powerhouse.
It's good to have this heart, but to be honest, it's too difficult for the Nuggets to replicate the miracle of the Thunder, and it's important to note that the Nuggets' young talent is far inferior to the Thunder.
Look at the first three drafts of the Thunder: Durant, Westbrook, Harden, these three will be superstars in the future, and this talent potential is quite perverted.
Looking at the talent on the Nuggets' side, Gallinari, Chandler, Lawson, may be counted as McGee who has no brains, but these four people, even if McGee suddenly has a brain and has fully grown, their ceiling is just first-class players, while the lower limit on the Thunder's side is first-class, and the ceiling is a top-level supergiant! This simply can't be compared!
It is equivalent to saying that the Nuggets have all kinds of championship puzzles for championship-level teams, and the Thunder have the core of championship-level teams!
And there are three of them at once! It's too extravagant and wasteful.
No, although Harden has been sent away now, the Thunder still has big and small kings, relying on these two aces, the Thunder is still the top team in the West!
But the Nuggets can't, the strength of the Nuggets is that they have a lot of young people, and these young people are very good, and in the case of not particularly high quality, the Nuggets rely on quantity! Punched the master to death, not to mention that the Nuggets are still a bunch of guys who mess with punches.
Moreover, these people from the Nuggets, although they also have talent, they are just good.
Relying on these people alone, it will be difficult for the Nuggets to go further.
The Nuggets' training gym.
"Boom!"
Faried dunked it and hung on the basket for a while.
"Tsk, the opponent at night is not easy, are you sure, Kenneth?" Lawson was practicing the two-man tie with Faried, and the empty dunk was very impressive.
"Nope." Faried is very direct, he really has no confidence, the opponent is Duncan, the number one forward in history, although Duncan is old, but his prestige is still there, and from the point of view of his figure, Faried blocks Duncan, well, it is indeed not very reliable.
"The king of thirty consecutive wins, the defending champion! I still feel a bit stressed. Lawson is also not easy, although he sometimes seems to be a bit nervous, but in the face of the pressure brought by the Spurs, Lawson is also very cautious, especially during the Spurs' 30-game winning streak, the Nuggets also lost one game to the Spurs, that game is so unforgettable, Lawson now can't forget the state of being beaten into a "sleepwalking" at that time.
"Boom!"
There was another earth-shattering dunk, McGee stretched out his long arm and hung on the basket on the other side, this guy was said to have no brains and really didn't wronged him, he likes to dunk every day when he trains, and never practices anything else.
And, ah, McGee, this guy, is still injured, and when he wasn't injured, he dunked two balls at the same time in the slam dunk contest.
Although it is a little worse than before, McGee's bounce or something, he will definitely not lose to Little Jordan, who is mixing under Paul, and even looking at the reaction speed, McGee is a little faster.
This guy's matchup with Whiteside tonight is the highlight, and the difference between the two styles is that there is no brain-free center head-to-head confrontation, and whoever wins is likely to win.
Probably the most tired one tonight is Wilson Chandler, and it is Qin Yan who has to defend!
This is a big test for Chandler, fortunately, the Nuggets still have Fournier, Foye and others can come up at any time to supplement in this position, one person can't stop it, then the wheel war, more than people, the Nuggets are not afraid of this.
"Anyway, don't make it too easy for them at night." Gallinari now vaguely feels like a big boss, but it's not obvious, the Nuggets are actually in a state where there is no boss now, so everyone chats like buddies, and the atmosphere is still very good.
"Denver!"
"Come on!!"
……
Denver Airport.
......As soon as he got off the plane, Qin Yan couldn't help but shiver, it was really cold, and coupled with the thin air on the plateau, this location must be a big problem for the Spurs' players.
"It's so cold, I won't feel like this tonight." Ginobili also rubbed his hands and followed Qin Yan to get off the plane.
"What are you worried about? Okay, I'll finish your share for you today. "Qin Yan and Ginobili met, just now on the plane, Ginobili and he have reached an agreement in private, although Ginobili is on the game list tonight, but will not play, because this altitude sickness is really difficult for older people to overcome.
And what Qin Yan has to do is to take Ginobili's score together!
"You say, how about I break my own scoring record tonight?" After grinding into the team's chartered bus, Qin Yan and Ginobili continued to sit together and chat.
"Your records?" Ginobili thought for a moment, "What, you want to score 60+ here today?" ”
"Don't take your share together, I feel a little sorry for myself if I don't get a little more points." Qin Yan stretched his waist, in fact, Denver track and field ...... Phew, he likes the Nuggets' style of play very much, because if Qin Yan fights against them, Qin Yan is sure to win by the way with 60+.
"You are free, the coach will score if he has no opinion, if you can, you can break the team's scoring record by the way." Ginobili waved his hand and said don't ask him about this kind of thing, as long as the coach agrees, Qin Yan has the ability to break the record, which is a good thing.
“70+?” Qin Yan thought about it for a while, if it was really possible, he could also consider it, after all, once he scored 70+ and won, he was the youngest Mr. 70 points in history! (If you lose with 70 points, hehe, it's a bit of a thing.) )
Nice, quite attractive!
Qin Yan pondered, or I'll break another record......
