Chapter 612: Death Scythe

Jokic has so far scored 8 points and 1 assist. Of all the Nuggets' current points, he himself scored 80% of them, and then assisted 20%, all related to him.
As for the Lakers, Xu Xuan has already scored in double figures with 10 points and 2 assists.
Both core players performed very well.
And the better Jokic's performance, the more dissatisfied Nurkic, who has been sitting on the sidelines and immersed in boredom.
This position originally belonged to him, but it is now snatched by Jokic. Sooner or later, he will take this position back!
Now in the team, the two have not communicated because of this matter, and Nurkic is also very well informed. He also heard that the Nuggets executives have to do nothing but choose one of two.
But now, from most signs, it can be seen that he should be the abandoned person...
It's sad. Strictly speaking, this is not what Nurkic wants. He thinks that he is also a talented person, with a core body, but in the end there is no core life...
Blame God and others.
The game continues.
Let’s say Jokic scored 5 points in a row, helping the Nuggets to make the difference from 5 to 12 all the way to 10 to 12, only two points away.
Frank and the Lakers fans here are also starting to pay attention to this fat-looking big man.
The scoring ability is very strong, the overall situation is very good, not to mention outside shooting, high post is also a good hand...This is simply the standard portrayal of the center in the future era.
Frank secretly thought about it for a while off the court. In this game, he has been alert to Jokic, such as using Randall to defend, but the effect is not very good. Randall has speed, but he is not tall, Jokic Qi's official data is clearly only two centimeters higher than Randall, but in fact it is half a head higher.
There is no limit at all.
But at this moment, Frank couldn't think of any other good way, only to see how the situation went on.
The Lakers offense.
Xu Xuan held the ball for halftime.
Defense against Mudiay outside the three-point line.
Wrong step.
Xu Xuan dribbled for a while, let go of the ball, and pulled away.
Mudiay stood ready.
Bang bang bang!
Xu Xuan kept dribbling the ball down the crotch without looking at the basket. He stared at Mudiay with a pair of eyes. Suddenly, after a crotch dribble, Xu Xuan got up with the ball and Mudiah quickly rushed forward, Xu Xuan was not afraid. The angle of the shot is not adjusted--
"Huh!"
Score another goal!
Still three points!
"Tsk tsk! This doesn't make sense? If you don't prevent me from getting in, you can still get in. No matter if you guard against me, none of the goals I should score has fallen." Su Junyang tutted.
Duan Ran also said: "This is just picking up the death sickle and starting to wave it, no matter what the mess, you will win by scoring!"
The Nuggets offense.
Jokic organized the frontcourt, Gallinari received the ball from the bottom corner, and Ingram jumped over. Gallinari did not make a shot and continued to score. Mudiae took a three-pointer in the left corner, Mudiae made a 3-pointer
"Huh!"
Did not enter.
Mudiay is a 15-year rookie and was selected by the Nuggets with the seventh overall pick in the first round. He played well last season, averaging 12.8 points, 5.5 assists, and 3.4 rebounds.
The shooting percentage is 36.4% and the three-point shooting percentage is 31.9%, which is pretty good.
For a rookie who just entered the league, this data is not good, but it can't be said to be bad.
This guy has excellent physical conditions, athletic ability and vision. His first step is extremely fast, and he has a strong ability to attack the basket. He is very threatening in the fast break and can also find teammates well. Good at using variable speed to get rid of opponents, passing the ball is very creative. The ability to control the pick-and-roll is good, and both the left and right hands show a certain degree of finishing ability. He is a tall and sporty point guard who is outstanding in terms of explosiveness, speed and jumping ability.
If you can practice three-pointers again, maybe this guy will really have a future. This is not nonsense. From his data, you can see that the shooting rate is low, and the three-point shooting rate is also a bit low.
If he can stabilize his shooting percentage at 38% to 39%, and keep his three-point shooting percentage above 35%, this guy is really a good outside player.
However, just when everyone thought the guy who was selected with the seventh overall pick had a promising future, the data suddenly began to decline this season.
So far, the average score is less than double digits per game, and the shooting percentage has not improved, but has fallen.
This is a problem.
Why is your rookie called rookie?
Why does the league have a term called "Rookie Protection Period"?
That is to give you time to adapt and improve yourself. As a result, not only did you fail to improve, but you also fell. What does this mean?
It shows that you have limited talents and abilities, and it is not worth the investment.
Of course it’s too early to say this, but how long can the patience of the Nuggets management last?
Who doesn't know...
Zubac accepted the rebound and the Lakers counterattacked.
frontcourt.
Xu Xuan handed the ball to Wesley Johnson and helped him make a pick and roll by the way.
Speaking of Wesley Johnson, he is also a player of the same type as Mudiay who drives high and goes low.
This guy is the fourth overall pick in the first round in 10 years, and the overall pick is definitely high, but so far he hasn't played anything.
The rookie averaged 9 points per game, but last season, he averaged only 6 points per game.
His status in the Lakers is not high, he can only play as a backup for a group of guards, or Frank uses him as the second position of the defensive lineup.
One thing to say is that this guy's defensive ability is better than Russell and others, which is why Frank used him as a starter when Nick Young and Barnes were away.
But this is the shot... With the sound of "boom", Xu Xuan couldn't help but shook his head. It's not that you won't be given a chance, but you can't grasp it yourself.
But Xu Xuan still didn’t say anything. Turning his head, he quickly cut off Mudia’s pass to Jokic. The Lakers went down quickly and gave it to Johnson. He hesitated, as if he wanted to shoot from the outside, but nothing. Sure, came to the basket, and finally scored a layup.
Xu Xuan slapped him in the past.
How to put it, if the ball is placed on Ingram, or Russell made a three-pointer, but Johnson chose a cautious layup.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, this is the most stringent style of play. It's just that this kind of safe play is not much for the Lakers today.
10 to 17, the point difference returned to 7 points again.
"Xu Xuan connects the entire team." Duan Ran said.
"Have you noticed that Xu Xuan is very familiar with the habits of every teammate, and can make the best adjustments based on their habits. That's why he can join the Lakers alone and integrate quickly."
"In ancient times, Liu Biao went to Jingzhou alone, but now Xu Xuan goes to the Lakers alone, which looks a lot like him." Su Junyang smiled.
The game continues.
Gallinari on the Nuggets side used a pick-and-roll to get another chance, and the opportunity to move one step to the open space-
"Huh!"
This ball is there.
The Italian gun may be empty, but it is impossible to empty every time.
13 to 17.
At this moment, Frank called a timeout.
This is a regular timeout, and the two teams began to change.
The Lakers replaced Russell and Lu Wei, Xu Xuan went off, and Wesley Johnson also went off.
Larry Nance Jr. played inside, and Zubac also played.
On the contrary, Mike Malone on the Nuggets thought about it carefully, but he didn't remove Jokic, obviously he wanted to keep playing.
"It's only been 7 minutes, and Xu Xuan is over. It's really easy." Duan Ran shook his head.
The main reason is that the Lakers have always maintained their lead, with 7 points at first and 7 points later. The Nuggets have a hard time chasing.
The second team continued to play for a while.
It wasn't until the last minute and 51 seconds that Mike Malone blew the whistle in his mouth and replaced Jokic and Nurkic.
But in the second quarter, Nurkic hadn't played a few minutes before he was replaced.
Xu Xuan looked at the time, and there were 6 minutes and 18 seconds left in the second quarter. That is to say, adding 1 minute and 51 seconds in the first quarter, Nurkic played a total of 7 minutes and 33 seconds.
Not much, but not much.
However, Mike Malone never thought of putting Nurkic and Jokic on the court at the same time.
You must know that the attributes of these two people can actually be matched. After all, Jokic's style of play, he can go to the fourth position to play the organization forward, the same role as Green, and you can give the fifth position to Nurkic.
It's just that, some things are not just talkative, it depends on the specific situation.
Xu Xuan followed Jokic in the second half of the second quarter.
The two sides played very fiercely in the second quarter. It is indeed the same as Mike Malone said. The Lakers’ play is very extreme. I just want to use my super star ability to beat you offensively. I never thought about it. To guard against you, I can't guard against it, so I will attack you.
If you lose the offense, then you really lose. I have nothing to say if you want to win.
This style of play generally appears in the Big Three and Big Four teams. Why? Because they can attack more people and have high offensive efficiency, while single-core teams like the Lakers play this way. The method is entirely due to Xu Xuan's unreasonableness. For another person, even Harden, at this time, it is estimated that he will have to be hammered to pieces...
Harden's offense is not fierce?
Harden's passing is not clever?
It's just that he isn't as stable as Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan is too stable.
......
At the end of the first half, the two teams tied 66 to 66!
It's incredible, mainly in the second half of the second quarter. The Nuggets' offensive was very fierce. Combined with the previous one, they scored 40 points in a single quarter and evened the score in one fell swoop.
Mike Malone encouraged the players in the locker room. From being behind at the beginning to now leading, it is enough to show that his tactical play is no problem.
So he is also very excited now. This game is now in this situation, as long as the two teams have a win rate of 50-50.
After all, as long as the Lakers get more points, as long as you get the same as them, how can they lead?
What Mike Malone thought actually made sense.
Speaking of which the Lakers have lost so few games so far, most of them have been on the offensive end. Xu Xuan showed that unmatched offensive rhythm, but if you are like him, breaking the tank, anyway, I will follow It's hard to say who can win in the posture of your life going to the end.
Again, this Laker started with offense, and generally such a team will not be too stable, because there is a reason for the ups and downs of the hand.
This is why, many media have only ranked the Lakers in the second-tier sequence of winning this season.
In the playoffs, teams that do not defend well will suffer a lot!
......
The third quarter began.
On the Nuggets side, Mike Malone still didn't play Nurkic, and used Jokic to play a full quarter.
As for Nurkic, Mike Malone still didn't mean to play with him after Jokic went off the field at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Instead, he used Faried to play five.
This is not considering Nurkic as part of the team at all...
Xu Xuan looked on coldly, seeing clearly.
The Nuggets don’t know who made this decision. Anyway, it’s quite stupid...Although you are going to trade people, it's not that the ball won't be played, right?
Besides, Nurkic is still a very strong big man. At the beginning of this season, the Nuggets undoubtedly gave high hopes to these two insiders. Coach Malone also once discharged the two white big men inside. The twin tower tactics. But what is not understandable is that there is always no chemical reaction between these two white centers. First, the two started together, then Nurkic started, and then Jokic started—the Nuggets tried the combination of the two.
So far, Jokic has averaged 23.1 points, 10.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists, while Nurkic has only 6.2 points and 4.1 rebounds.
There is a gap in this ratio.
This is why the Nuggets are now tempted to trade Nurkic away, and they are not even allowed to play the ball.
In the third quarter, the Nuggets were still only offensive.
For Jokic personally, he is also the kind of player who is strong and weak, so he is a good offensive player~EbookFREE.me~ The defensive end is still worse than Embiid, Towns, etc. A little bit.
The two teams were full of enthusiasm and played a whole quarter. By the end of the third quarter, Jokic was a little unable to hold it.
His stamina is a bit weak, mainly because he has not rested since the second quarter.
But Xu Xuan didn't have his troubles. Not only that, he kept on rest in the fourth quarter, and he just went on the court!
Jokic looked at Xu Xuan enviously from the sidelines, he also yearned for Xu Xuan's physical stamina.
Before he could rest for a long time, Jokic was replaced by Mike Malone in a hurry. Now the Nuggets are on the scene with Jokic’s substitute Murray Gemini. Jokic puts more energy to save energy. It's all on the organizational side, and Murray is shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Nuggets offensive.
He was also up for grabs, hitting four consecutive three-pointers from the outside, he just helped the team to bite the score, Murray's performance directly looked at the Nuggets bench here all jumped, and the ESPN commentary on the scene was even more straightforward. The combination of Hu Murray and Jokic has a limitless future.
