Chapter 156: Occasional Stumble
On the 30th, just as Wade was glad that they had left this small highland town that was even having trouble breathing, they flew to the second stop of the six-company trip to the west, Denver, Colorado.
"There is as much gold in Pikes Peak as water in the mountains or as much sand in the riverbed as water washes out," and in 1858 a small bag of gold was discovered here, and the local newspaper used this sentence to spread the news, and a large number of people flocked to the area, thus creating the current state of Colorado and the city of Denver.
Denver is the capital and largest city of Colorado and the highest city in the United States, with an average altitude of 1,600 meters, almost a mile high, which is why Denver is also known as the "High City".
Nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is a city that is forever blessed with blue skies and white clouds. The sun shines 300 days a year. Here, all activities can be open-air.
Denver's Pepsi Center is the highest arena in the NBA, and the Bobcats players are tired from two consecutive Devils' home courts.
Because looking at the entire Bobcats, except for Sabonis, who was recovering from an injury and did not come with the team, the other players were fringe players in the previous team, and this was the first time they experienced the hardships of continuous plateau fighting.
At the Pepsi Center Arena, Hu Qingniu saw a lot of jerseys wearing the No. 31 Milicic jersey. Hu Qingniu can't help but sigh that he inadvertently saved Milicic's career, and now Milicic has become the savior of the Nuggets team, and is deeply loved by the citizens of Denver.
Before the game, Hu Qingniu felt a hint of something bad, his players looked tired, and the most serious thing was Wade. It always seems that there is some hypoxia, and Wade always reports that his head is a little dizzy, and it seems that he has altitude sickness. It is normal for children growing up on the plains to have a slight reaction to the sudden arrival at the plateau, especially after strenuous exercise, when the brain will be deprived of oxygen.
Looking at the sluggish Wade, Hu Qingniu was also helpless, and after 10 minutes on the field, Hu Qingniu replaced him, because Wade was really not like him on the court, and he did not receive the particles in 10 minutes, and sent 6 fine irons.
This game is destined to be a battle for Milicic's proof, the home advantage is infinitely magnified, and Milicic is laughing and confiscating the rebounds while the Bobcats are playing like crazy. As soon as the game ended, Hu Qingniu found out that Milicic scored 22 points and 30 rebounds in this game, and 26 rebounds in the backcourt alone.
Milicic should be most grateful to Tekoglu, a projection forward who contributed 13 rebounds alone, yes, Tekoglu's thick-eyed 15 shots were only 2 of 2, and he didn't take advantage of Wade's chance to go down at all, and played the worst game of the season. The shooter is like this, when you shoot on time, you want to worship God, and when you hit the iron continuously, you want to kill him. But the way, the shooter only shoots on the court, and if he doesn't shoot, he has no contribution to do.
In such a game, the performance of the Bobcats was embarrassing, so embarrassing that Hu Qingniu didn't want to show his face.
After the game, the Bobcats team name followed with a score of 67 points, you read that right, 67 points, of which Dazhi scored 19 points, Alston 12 points, and no one else made a double. On the contrary, when it comes to striking iron, Turkoglu has 13 pieces of refined iron, and Brother Wallace has 11 pieces of refined iron, which is insignificant compared to Wade's 6 pieces of fine iron.
In the disastrous battle, the Bobcats lost the slow-paced iron battle by 11 points by 67 points: 78 points.
Compared to Milicic's 30 rebounds, Evans suffered a loss of fewer rebounds in the backcourt and only got 22. In addition, Dazhi's 15 rebounds are actually not lost by the Bobcats, but the shooting is too iron, the players' state is too poor, and the lack of physical strength leads to this ugly loss.
In just the second game of 6 consecutive away games, the team shrank like this, which Hu Qingniu never expected.
This game also caused a sensation in the NBA, and the 30+ rebounds data are all from the last century. Milicic used this game to make a name for himself all over the world, and his rookie 30+ rebounds were enough to make people remember his name.
Hu Qingniu was a proverb, and he also lamented before the game that he had inadvertently changed Milicic's career, but he didn't expect that after a game, Hu Qingniu's Bobcats team gave him another big gift. Is this Milicic on it or how to drop, pick me Hu Qingniu, and eat big households? The landlord's family has no surplus food!
Hu Qingniu only vaguely remembers that the last time he rebounded 30+ should have been in 96.
On November 2, 96, Barkley, who moved to the Rockets, scored 20 points and 33 rebounds against his old club Phoenix Suns. In the same year, Uncle Mu Tombo also scored 16+31 data.
To be able to compete with these famous legends in history, Milicic is enough for him to brag about.
Hu asked you to leave Denver in a hurry, because they were about to leave Phoenix, the third stop of the West 6 Fleet.
Phoenix, also known as Phoenix, is located in the Arizona desert on the west coast of the United States and is the largest state capital in the United States. Surrounded by desert, this city is not what it would see, and is the fifth largest city in the United States after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston.
Phoenix has the highest average annual temperature of any major city in the United States, with an average of 89 days a year in temperatures above 38 degrees Celsius, almost all of which are spent from June to September. Only some cities near the Persian Gulf, such as Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, have an average annual temperature that exceeds Phoenix.
It's the hottest city in the whole of America, but it's also the most welcoming, and the whole city is like the name of the NBA team here, the Phoenix Suns.
Before the 21st century, there were only two Suns that everyone was familiar with: one is Charles Barkley, who is currently known as the NBA commentator "Flying Pig", who has been in Phoenix for four seasons, and the other, Kevin Johnson, will be the mayor of Sacramento in the future, the first black mayor in the history of Sacramento.
The only one who can really be used as a business card for Phoenix is Nash, but now this business card is still on the way. Nash will only return to Phoenix after this season because Cuban does not renew his contract.
Since the '90s, the Suns have had a tradition of emphasizing playmaking guards, with Kevin Johnson coming off the bench at the time of Kidd and Nash being the second.
