The Nuggets are now third from bottom in the West, 15 wins shy of the Lakers, who are eighth in the West.

Their chances of qualifying for the playoffs are slim or, as is often the case with the national team, only theoretically.

However, they also didn't play as blatantly as the Timberwolves and 76ers.

Aside from trading Afraro and McGee, their core roster is basically still there.

The Pelicans just won against the Cavaliers, and the morale is high, and this game is a big win.

That night, the New Orleans arena was 70 percent occupied.

Despite the lack of strength of the opponents, the Pelicans' excellent record has given the stadium a high floor of attendance.

In addition to the godfather and Davis who were seen in the past, the fans also had My.Boy's.

Although McGee's strength is not strong in the league, he is not famous because of the five embarrassments.

It's not a good reputation, though.

After the opening ceremony and a brief warm-up, the game began immediately, with the starters from both sides coming on one after another.

The Nuggets were very serious about Will Barton, Afflalo was traded, and the coaching staff directly used him as a starting point guard.

In addition to him, Nurkic also became the starting five for the Nuggets because Mozgov was traded to the Cavaliers.

The rest of the positions are the same as last time they met, with Lawson, Wells Chandler and Faried "The Orc".

Whiteside jumped to beat Faried to kick off the game.

Tang Tian was caught in the opening game, and he distributed the ball to Davis, who made a jumper from a mid-range position on the baseline.

The ball was thrown off the rails and out of the basket.

However, at this moment, after hand-to-hand combat between Whiteside and Nurkic, he struggled to pick up the offensive rebound and scored directly on the dunk.

After dunking the ball in, he made a trademark "strong" celebration.

I could tell he was a little excited tonight.

Jokic's injury has damaged the Pelicans' strength, and the only good news is probably that Whiteside is no longer mentally burdened, and his recovery is even beyond his previous level.

The Nuggets' offense, Lawson burst through to Nurkic under the basket, and the latter's close-range shot was directly slapped off the court by Whiteside.

Whiteside shouted behind the block, looking genuinely excited.

His excitement was not unfounded.

The last time the two teams met was in early December, when Jokic made his regular-season debut against the Nuggets.

15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, this is Jokic's debut data, which is quite eye-catching.

Now that Nurkic is playing against Whiteside, he will definitely hold his breath and prove that Jokic can beat up opponents, and he can do the same.

The two teams were deadlocked for more than five minutes, and the Pelicans began to take the initiative on the court.

Nurkic is still a rookie after all, Whiteside is going all out, he is difficult to play, and the Pelicans have a clear advantage in overall strength.

By the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans had led the Nuggets by as many as 25 points, 90-65, and the final quarter became complete garbage time.

Whiteside scored 10 points, 13 boards, 5 blocks and 2 steals in the third quarter, and his performance was very eye-catching.

Before the end of the third quarter, Williams brooded on the sidelines.

Jokic can't play, Whiteside is playing so well, he has realized that the two can't coexist, and if Whiteside renews his contract next season, the coaching staff will face big problems.

In garbage time in the final quarter, both sides fielded bench players.

Eric Green and Thomas Robinson at the end of the bench on the Nuggets' side both got a chance to play.

On the Pelicans' side, McGee and Sherwed were also substituted.

As McGee walked to the sidelines, there was a burst of cheers.

The game has reached garbage time, and this is when McGee can catch their attention.

And it's a whole section of time.

The Nuggets came up to attack first, and Shevid broke through one by himself and didn't score.

McGee didn't touch the ball in this attack.

There was a stirring of fans on the sidelines.

Bench players rarely have the opportunity to play, and they must play more by themselves.

The Nuggets' offense, Robinson took the ball to the basket and beat McGee and turned the hook.

McGee saw the opportunity and shot directly to Robinson with a big hat.

The ball was fanned off the field.

The cheers at the scene burst into flames in an instant.

The ball cover is sturdy and ornamental.

From Whiteside in the starting line-up to Biyombo on the bench to McGee on the new arrival, all three are strong blockers.

The Pelicans are now very polite and have their valentines eating hot pot every night.

The Nuggets attack from the outside, and Green breaks through to the toss.

"Bang dang!"

The ball smashes into the back of the basket and bounces high along the edge.

However, McGee under the basket was a little distracted at this time and did not collect the rebound in the first place.

Robinson seized the opportunity and grabbed an offensive rebound.

McGee came to his senses.

Robinson doesn't believe in evil, and wants to buckle after confronting McKee this time.

However, he underestimated McGee's confrontation a little, and the ball he was going to dunk in this confrontation turned into a reluctant shot.

"Bang!"

Once again, the ball flew off the field.

The cheers of the fans at the scene could not be stopped.

This is McGee's second block in a round!

His talent is really not bad.

Fans holding "my.boy" on the sidelines struggled to shake signs in their hands.

The Pelicans eventually defended the shot, and on the offensive end, Dinwiddie took control of the ball and saw McGee cut from the free throw line and went straight to the basket.

McGee jumped, grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw it into the basket.

"Bang!"

The ball was smashed into the basket.

One minute on the court, two big hats and an empty catch, Robinson and McGee on the opposite side were completely out of position, and he was completely suppressed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

The fans cheered and cheered.

However, some fans wondered, in McGee's competitive state, would he be reduced to no one and couldn't play?

But soon, they knew the answer.

An offense from the Pelicans, the Nuggets defended very well.

With little offensive time left, Dinwiddie found an opportunity to stuff the ball to McGee under the basket.

Robinson behind him was struggling to defend, McGee didn't get up for the first time, he leaned on Robinson, holding the ball and preparing to pass it out again.

"Time! Time! ”

Dinwiddie reminded him loudly not far away.

McGee didn't seem to hear it, or thought Dinwiddie was asking for the ball, and went straight back to Dinwiddie.

Dinwiddie couldn't get enough time to catch the ball, the red light came on on the sideline, and the Pelicans' 24-second offense was violated.

The scene burst into laughter.

Williams couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this on the sidelines.

The members of the Pelicans also covered their faces and smiled bitterly, with a loveless expression.

At this time, the happiest probably belongs to O'Neill, and McGee's operation just now provided him with new material for the next five embarrassments.

PS: Ah! It's another day full of vitality, ask for a monthly pass!
