In this game, the Nuggets' overall shooting percentage is low, only 29.9% of the pit daddy, so how can this win.

McDyce was 7-of-20, Fortson was 4-of-12, Williams was 2-of-11, John Taylor was 3-of-9 and Billups was 2-of-6......

Of all the players, only two shot more than 40 percent, Ji Liang and Sticky, and Sticky only made one shot.

Ji Liang played a lot of time, reaching 39 minutes and 30 seconds, shooting 7 of 15, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws, with a total of 22 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists.

Due to his teammates' poor hand, his assists fell to a new low. Ironically, he grabbed 15 rebounds, including seven in the frontcourt, as his teammates turned into blacksmiths, which set a new career rebounding record.

From the beginning to the end of the game, the Rockets attached great importance to Chi Liang, not only with Pippen always following the defense, but also adopting a strict defense strategy. As soon as Ji Liang breaks through Pippen, Olajuwon or Barkley will immediately come to block it, because his teammates are not strong enough to convert passes into assists, which also makes Ji Liang's passing power greatly reduced.

However, compared to Chi Liang, Scottie Pippen was clearly limited, only 4 of 13 shots, only 13 points in the game, and four turnovers.

didn't get good data, and was suppressed by the rookie, which made Pi Erye feel very faceless, and after shaking hands with Chi Liang, he returned to the locker room early.

"Rookie, I have to say, you played great!"

At this moment, 'Flying Pig' Barkley took the initiative to come to Chi Liang, and from a close distance, Barkley and Chi Liang were close to a head apart, giving people the feeling that they were not 198 cm.

Barkley and Pippen don't have a good relationship, it's a well-known thing, they often fight when they are opponents, and even now that they are teammates, there are still conflicts.

After Pippen came to the Rockets, they quickly had a falling out, with Pippen criticizing Barkley for not being attentive enough to play and saying that Barkley's big ass was annoying.

Pippen's move undoubtedly disgusted Barkley, because the Rockets were able to sign Pippen, which has a lot to do with Barkley. Without Barkley taking the initiative to reduce his annual salary, the Rockets simply would not have had enough salary space.

"Charles, you're not bad, especially your back singles, which I remember vividly!"

In this game, the two have also fought a few times, Barkley's ass is too powerful, even if Chi Liang tries his best, he is still very uncomfortable.

At the same time, don't look at Barkley's shortness, his bench press is 180 kilograms, and his weight is also above Chi Liang, which is simply a miniature version of O'Neal.

However, compared to O'Neal, Barkley is more agile and bounces, and is simply a humanoid bulldozer.

After some exchange, the two exchanged contact information.

Not long after, D'Antoni took Ji Liang and McDice to the post-match press conference.

After the Rockets interviewed, a reporter from the New York Times asked, "Ji Liang, do you think you're adapting to the NBA game?"

Due to losing the game, Chi Liang was not in a very good mood, but in the face of an interview with reporters, he still had to cheer up.

"The NBA is more intense than the NCAA, but as you can see, I'm not inferior to any of them. But to be honest, I haven't fully adapted yet, it has to do with the schedule of the season, there is a race almost every two days, a lot of time spent on the plane or bus, and there are also very back-to-back or even back-to-back races, which can be exhausting and boring! However, I believe that as long as you persevere, all difficulties will be solved! ”

"What do you think was the main reason for the team's loss today?" At this time, USA Today's reporters began to ask questions.

"It's no secret that the Rockets are known for their defense, they're very strong defensively, it's very uncomfortable for us, it's not easy for us to score. In addition, we missed a lot of chances and didn't play to our strengths, so we didn't make many fast breaks in the game. I think we have to look at ourselves, identify problems and solve them so that we can be stronger! ”

This season, the Nuggets' tactical play has tended to be run-and-gun, and their first instinct after winning a backcourt rebound is to run forward, using their speed and impact to score quickly.

For the Nuggets' fast break, the Rockets are obviously on guard, not to mention that although their lineup is old, their movement speed is really not slow, which also caused the Nuggets to score only a pitiful 7 points through the fast break.

"There are a lot of reasons why the fast-break score is low, and the Rockets' targeting and defense are one thing, but ultimately it's up to us. There are still a lot of flaws in this team, we have to run faster, speed up the transition, move the ball more at the beginning of the attack, and finish the fast break as fast as we can, and I'm sure if we get it done, we'll be able to get it done! ”

In the face of reporters' inquiries, D'Antoni spoke eloquently, and the fast attack in his mouth was extremely close to running and shooting. However, the team's run-in is insufficient, and if it continues to speed up the transition between offense and defense, it will be difficult to ensure the shooting percentage.

"McDyes, you only made 7 of 20 shots today, what do you think about that?"

In order to get the big news, a reporter threw out a sharp topic, in this game, McDies got 23+9 data, but as an interior player, the shooting rate was only a pitiful 35%.

"Ahem, everyone has a bad hand, and today I felt cold and missed a lot of opportunities. Also, we've just gone through a rebuild, so there are definitely a lot of issues, but as the season progresses, I'm sure they'll all be resolved! ”

It's not the first time McDyce has been interviewed, and he's experienced in this area and hasn't shied away from the topic.

After the loss to the Rockets, the Nuggets began traveling to Salt Lake City to take on the Jazz on the road.

This time, they started a three-game road streak against the Rockets, Jazz and Spurs. It's definitely a tough road trip, one that doesn't go well and could well swallow the consequences of a three-game losing streak.

Just as the Nuggets were traveling to Salt Lake City, an important trade took place in the NBA.

The Lakers and Hornets made a deal to trade Eddie Jones and Ayton Ganbo for Hornets core Glen Rice, and the 'Lakers Big Three' began to take shape.

Compared to Jones, Glenn Rice is undoubtedly stronger, averaging 22.3 points per game last season, shooting 43.3% from three-point range, and is also an All-Star MVP.

For the Lakers, Glenn Rice is definitely an indispensable player, and when O'Neal focuses on interior offense and Kobe's outside line is not enough to fire the throat, Rice's three-point shot has become one of the team's important weapons.

With Glen Rice, the Lakers have made up for their shortcomings, and as long as they complete the run-in, they have a tendency to become the favorites to win the championship.
