The Nuggets finished fourth in the West with a 15-9 record against the Denver Nuggets last time they last played, and now they have a 19-17 record, winning just three games and losing eight games since their last win over the Kings.

The Nuggets also slipped from the 4th position in the West to the 9th in the West, and now the Oklahoma City Thunder is firmly in first place in the West with 28 wins and 7 losses, the Sacramento Kings are in second place in the West with 25 wins and 11 losses, and the San Antonio Spurs are in 3rd place in the West with 24 wins and 11 losses, followed by the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, and Memphis Grizzlies in 4th to 8th place in the West.

The Grizzlies, who are currently ranked 8th in the West, have a record of 20-15 at this time, and there is a slight gap with the Nuggets, but the strength of the Nuggets is undoubted, although the team's record has been poor for nearly a month, but the team's balanced staffing is still not something that can be taken lightly, and this Nuggets team definitely has the strength to make the playoffs.

The Sleep Train Arena was brightly lit in the evening, and the fans in the arena today pulled up a lot of banners in support of Cousins, this game was the youngest player in the whole team and the team's second leader Cousins first game after returning from injury, fans are looking forward to his return to relieve the pressure on Tyrek and lead the team to the playoffs with Tyreck.

"Good evening, audience! I'm Grant Grant, the sideline commentator for today's game. Napier, this is my partner Jerry. Raezz. Facing the Nuggets today, the team's interior core DeMarcus will usher in a comeback, and the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene is very high, it seems that everyone is looking forward to the return of DeMarcus! ”

"That's natural, Grant, DeMarcus's talent is clear to everyone, the skill is extremely comprehensive, he will definitely be the league's top super center in the future, this season is the second year of his career, he has shown the strength of the league's top five centers, in good conscience I think Dwight is now in the league. Howard's overall strength can stabilize DeMarcus, and this year's All-Star starter in the West, Andrew. Bynum played well, but I don't think he's necessarily better than DeMarcus......"

"Haha, Jerry, you have a high opinion of DeMarcus, but this is his second season, and his future is indeed limitless! Before the game, Coach Westphale had announced that his playing time would be limited for the protection of DeMarcus, but DeMarcus would still start the game, forming a starting five with Tyreck, Jimmy, Francisco and Jason. On the Nuggets side, Ty. Lawson, Aron. Afflaro, Danilo. Gallinari, Nene. Hilario, Timof. Mozgov will start, the Nuggets have had a poor record lately, and the momentum at the start of the season has been reduced, Jerry, do you think the Nuggets can realign themselves in March? ”

"Last season the Nuggets lost their top spot, super offensive player Cameron. Anthony, although this makes them no longer have superstars in the team, but it is precisely because of Anthony's departure that the team has a group of high-quality players, and the overall strength of the Nuggets team has not declined, which makes their lineup extremely deep, everyone can play, can play well, everyone has good athletic talent, the overall strength is very fierce, the core guard Tai. Lawson has also gradually shown star potential and has become the engine of this team. Although they had some difficulties in February, I believe they can still make the playoffs in the end. ”

"Alright, regardless of the Nuggets' record in the future, let's focus on this game, the starters are coming!"

With the adjustment of the lighting and sound effects of the whole court, the Kings starters appeared from the player tunnel in turn, Jimmy, Thompson, and Garcia ran out of the player tunnel, Cousins was about to play, Terry stopped him and said: "DeMarcus, you are the strongest center!" ”

Cousins grinned and punched Tyrek in the chest, and as the live DJ shouted Cousins' name, Cousins stepped onto the court to the frenzied cheers of the fans!

Cousins and Mozgov jumped in the middle circle, and the game officially began!

Mozgov jumped the ball and the Nuggets took the lead in attacking!

Lawson is commanding the front court with the ball, and the 1.8-meter-tall Lawson is an absolute short man in the NBA. After Billups left the Nuggets, Lawson secured the position of starting point guard, although his height is his biggest disadvantage, but he still has a strong offensive power with amazing speed and accurate shooting, and he is the most dangerous offensive point in the Nuggets team today.

The task of marking the opponent's offensive arrows is naturally handed over to Jimmy, although Tyrek's defensive ability is not bad, but as the offensive core of the Kings, he needs to stay on the offensive end, and the dirty work of grappling and consumption is still to be done by a bulldog-like character like Jimmy who specializes in defense.

Facing Lawson, who was 21 cm shorter than himself, Jimmy, who leaned over and put on a defensive posture, was as tall as Lawson who stood up straight and dribbled, and his body was almost a lap larger than Lawson, but Lawson lowered his body and suddenly started, relying on his short body to squeeze the tall Jimmy, and although Lawson was short, his speed was indeed the top in the league.

Thompson, who was on the inside, stepped forward to make up for the defense, and Lawson made a steady pull-up jump shot near the free throw line and hit!

Overbearing!

Rely purely on speed to complete the pass and hit the shot!

The Nuggets open the scoring!

Offense and defense transition, the Kings launched an offense, Tyrek held the ball in the front court, Cousins took the initiative to ask for the ball on the inside, Tyrek nodded to Cousins, hoisted the ball to Cousins, Cousins held the ball with his back, Mozgov used his tall and broad body to hold Cousins up, Cousins took two steps and then held the ball on his chest with both hands, his shoulders shook from side to side, and then turned his back to the right side to shake out the space, grabbed the middle, and got up directly and turned over to make a layup, but Nene on the other side jumped smartly and stopped in front of Cousins, Raw slap the ball off Cousins' hand!

The offense and defense are balanced, the body is extremely strong, the ball style is strong, the height is not high, but the mobility is good and the pace is fast, the only drawback is that there are more small injuries, the healthy Nene is a real inside beast, but he is the absolute strength of the Nuggets!

Under Nenne's assisted defense, Cousins was capped, the Nuggets controlled the ball in the backcourt, and got the opportunity to counterattack, the Kings Tyrek, Jimmy, and Garcia quickly retreated, but the Nuggets advanced faster and more fiercely, Gallinari gave the ball to Lawson, Lawson advanced quickly with the ball, Gallinari then immediately followed, and Lawson, Afflaro formed a three-person fast break, Lawson gave Gallinari at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, Gallinari quickly transferred the ball to Afflaro on the wing, Afflaro received the ball and shot, three-point shot! Hit!

The Nuggets lead 5-0! The Nuggets' team basketball, based on their super athletic talent, made the Kings feel the pressure as soon as the game started!
