With the home team in front and the visitors behind, the final process was uneventful, and in the end, the Nuggets won the victory.

Rushing~

After the victory, Nuggets fans thundered with joy and began to celebrate.

Among the Grizzlies players, Raheem had a terrible performance, finishing with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 5-of-15 shooting and 8-of-9 free throws under McDyce's tight defense.

For an interior lineman, shooting only 33 percent from the field can only be described as extremely bad.

Compared to Rahim, Mike Biby has performed better, with a double-double of 15 points and 10 assists.

However, the Grizzlies' best performance was not Bibby, but Masenberg, who contributed 27 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks in 24 minutes, completely suppressing the limelight of other players.

On the other side, the Nuggets' best performance was McDyes, who was also the best player of the game, playing a total of 41 minutes, shooting 16-of-25 from the field, 14-of-18 from the free-throw line, and scoring 46 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocks, including 8 full-court rebounds.

There is no doubt that it was a big double-double, and the 46 points in it were also a career-high for McDyes.

McDyce's outburst also gave Chi Liang a lot of assists, who played a total of 36 minutes and achieved excellent statistics of 21 points, 20 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block.

At the same time, this is also the first time that Chi Liang has achieved 20+20 data, and 20 assists have also set a new record for Ji Liang's career assists.

The most important thing is that after this game, Ji Liang's average assists per game successfully overtook Kidd and temporarily ranked first in the assist list.

As for the steal list, there is no change for the time being, but it has also narrowed the gap with the first place.

On the way back to the locker room, Chi Liang asked Billups suspiciously, "Chaunse, don't you think Antonio is particularly excited today?" It's like being doped! ”

Giving Chi Liang a strange look, Billups opened his mouth to explain: "Your news is too closed, before the start of this game, the league announced the best player of the week last week, Antonio was successfully selected, and this is the first time he won the player of the week!"

"No wonder!"

Ji Liang was a little speechless, and at the same time full of envy, except for breaking two records, he didn't have any awards.

Generally speaking, winning an award on match day is bound to motivate a player's form, and the effect depends on the player.

If it is the peak Jordan, even if he wins the best of the week, I am afraid that there will be no waves.

Look at the current McDyes, who has not yet been selected as an All-Star, and the only honor is the best rookie team, the gold content is extremely low, and he can't take it at all, and this time he became the player of the week, which naturally greatly stimulated his state.

After returning to the locker room, everyone got the news and they surrounded McDyce and congratulated him.

It wasn't long before D'Antoni arrived in the dressing room and took McDyce to the post-match press conference.

On this day, McDies won the Player of the Week, and on the same day, he scored 46 points and 19 rebounds.

If nothing else, McDyce's fame is bound to grow dramatically, and he is recognized as a top power forward.

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Ji Liang jogged back to his apartment to rest, and as it was getting late, he was going to visit Lafrenz again tomorrow.

"I wonder how his injuries are doing?"

Lying on the bed, Chi Liang couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and the scene when Lafrentz was injured came to his mind, judging from his expression, this time he was afraid that the injury was not light.

After a few months of getting along, the two of them are rookies in the same class, and there is no competition, so they naturally become friends, and they usually take care of each other to avoid being bullied by the 'old birds' in the team.

Now it's a good thing, Lafrenz is injured, and the injury is not light, and the season reimbursement is possible.

Van Exel's ban, and now the absence of Lafrenz, has led to a serious weakening of the Nuggets' strength, which has a great impact on the record.

The next morning, Ji Liang went to Denver Hospital, which has a cooperative relationship with the Nuggets and often treats the injuries of Nuggets players.

After arriving at the ward, Chi Liang saw Lafrentz, who was lying on the bed with the physiotherapist hired for him by the team, relaxing his muscles for Lafrentz.

In addition, Chi Liang also saw D'Antoni, who looked ugly at this time, which was likely related to the diagnosis.

When Chi Liang came in, Lafrentz opened his eyes, and his expression was very ugly.

Seeing that it was Chi Liang who came in, Lafrentz's demeanor eased a lot, and he barely smiled, perhaps because he was in a bad mood, but he just nodded and didn't talk to Chi Liang.

At D'Antoni's suggestion, Chi Liang sat on the sofa next to him and asked softly, "Coach, how is Reeve?"

"It's a bit bad, judging from the diagnosis, Reeve has a bare fracture of his right foot, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to write it off this season!"

D'Antoni sighed softly, Lafrentz was injured and made him feel bad, and his absence would certainly have a detrimental effect on the Nuggets.

At the same time, Lafrentz was also the focus of the Nuggets' training, but in less than a month, he was hit hard, and the time of his comeback will not be determined until after surgery.

After a fracture or tendon rupture, it usually takes three months to be intact. Even if there is no major problem, it should be taken care of for at least a month before you can be active properly, and at least three months before you can fully recover.

The problem is, this is a shortened season, and even if Lafrentz recovers smoothly, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the remaining games.

After knowing about Lafrentz's injury, Chi Liang came to the bedside, looked at the silent Lafrentz, and said softly: "Reeve, everyone will encounter setbacks in their lives, and this is also a test for us. As a professional player, everyone has encountered injuries, but life needs to be honed, do not lose hope due to adversity, I hope you can overcome the disease as soon as possible and return to team training! ”

With Chi Liang's encouragement, Lafrentz's eyelids moved, more or less changed, and began to change for the better.

"Chi Liang, thank you!"

Lafrentz's expression eased a lot, and he finally spoke, which was also his first word to Chi Liang.

"Remember to get some rest, I hope to see you in the training gym soon!"

"Definitely!"

As he spoke, Chi Liang stretched out his hand, and Lafrenz reacted and raised his right hand to palm Chi Liang.

Syllable~

With a crisp sound, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the ward was obviously much better.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then saw the nurse come to the ward, and Chi Liang left the hospital with D'Antoni without any more thoughts.
