There was no doubt that Big McGee easily jumped over Lopez to earn the Nuggets the right to the tee.

Andre Miller plays the ball and organizes the attack. Miller at his peak relied on his strong body to bully weaker opponents, and he could do well whether it was a strong burst or a pass behind a back.

But not now, as he gets older, his physical fitness has declined greatly, and he has met Yang Yi, whose physical fitness is even stronger than his peak. So all Miller can do is organise the team's offense.

Before head coach Carl said, if you can make a fat man's foul, try to make it, if you can beat the fat man, the Nuggets' winning rate will be greatly improved.

This was a nice thing to say before the game, but when he really met Yang Yi, Miller realized that Yang Yi was no longer the little guy who relied on three points to run rampant in the Pepsi Center Arena, and he was too far away from breaking through or making fouls.

When it comes to fouling, the fat man is indeed the strongest among rookies, and his own invention of true and false thunder has made many players in the league miserable. And now that you wear super sneakers, your mobility has been greatly improved, and it's no longer possible for anyone to burst out if they want to.

Miller was defended by the fat man's close defense with the ball, and the decline in his physical fitness made him feel a little powerless when he was on the fat man, and it was difficult to take a step forward.

There was no way, Miller had to pass the ball out, and he ran with the fat man without the ball.

The ball came to Iguodala after several passes. Iguodala is now the titular boss of the Nuggets, and after receiving a pass from Gallinari, he didn't immediately think about breaking through, but looked at the position of his teammates on the court.

Speaking of which, Iguodala is undoubtedly a team player, preferring teamwork to working alone, although he is the strongest on the court except for Yang Yi.

Bang dang!

When Iguodala used the ball to attract the attention of the Hornets, Wilson Chandler shook off Aminu and ran back inside to get on the back and get on top of Iguodala's pass.

"Focused, they're not as easy to deal with as you think." Williams shouted loudly from the sidelines.

While a goal scored by the Nuggets is nothing, it undoubtedly exposes the weakness of the Hornets' slow entry into form. Especially Aminu, Chandler was successful in the slam dunk, so he hurried over slowly. Obviously, Chandler's counter-run left him completely unable to keep up.

Chandler and Iguodala are players that head coach Williams has told them before the start of the game that they have to defend with all their might. Iguodala needless to say, just Chandler. Chandler is aggressive on the defensive end, with nimble footwork, accurate mid-range shots, and good three-point shooting, and is one of the players the Hornets must look for.

In fact, Aminu didn't want to defend, his movement speed was not slower than Chandler's, but the exhaustion of his body seriously slowed down his speed, making him look like he was half a beat slower.

But this is not only Aminu alone, in the next game, except for Yang Yi, who has one more day of rest, can go all out, the other players are more or less numb. They wanted to work hard, but they couldn't make it hard, and they were slow to move the Nuggets players.

Bang dang!

Beep!

Just as Big McGee dunked the ball into the basket, the referee's whistle blew at the same time. It turned out that when McGee dunked, Lopez reached out for the block. But he was half a beat slower to react before hitting McGee's arm after Big McGee dunked the ball into the basket, giving McGee a chance to hit a three-pointer.

"Alas, the squad is still too weak, there are no injuries yet, if there are injuries, let alone a winning streak, it would be good if there was no losing streak." Looking at the performance of his players on the field, Williams couldn't help but shake his head.

While the team has reached a staggering seventeen-game winning streak after the win over the Lakers, the current Nuggets are undoubtedly in their way. If you can't pass the Nuggets, the momentum of the Hornets will definitely plummet, and then I'm afraid there will be another wave of consecutive defeats.

Fortunately, Yang Yi's performance was good, and he naturally still performed strong under the strict defense of the Nuggets, and he was omnipotent in and out of the shots, which blocked the Nuggets' attacks.

At halftime, the Nuggets led the Hornets by eight points, 54:46.

Yang Yi performed very well, scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the half, and his performance can be described as all-round. But his teammates were not in good shape and couldn't keep up with the pace of the Nuggets.

Gordon, the team's second leader, had a particularly bad performance today, as the fat man passed him eight balls, and he missed the shot himself, scoring just seven points on 3-of-13 shooting at halftime.

In the away locker room, the Hornets are resting in their chairs. Sweat flowed down my body like water, and even if I wiped it with a towel, it flowed all over my body after a while. Yang Yi is no exception, although he has super boots, he is the most tired player for the Hornets, and George Karl's unrelenting tactics have caused him to consume a lot of physical energy.

"Let's rest, Fred, you let the masseur come in and help them relax their muscles." Williams waved to the team's strength and conditioning coach, Fred Vinson, and motioned for him to let the masseur in.

There was a bit of dreary in the locker room, and no one could have imagined that they would encounter a crisis today, and the opponent was still a strong Nuggets.

Everyone lay or sit quietly, except for the masseur who made a noise during the massage.

Yang Yi lay on the chair with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep, and when his teammates did not give him strength, his physical consumption was much more than he imagined. Now the masseur is trying his best to help him relax his muscles, but he wants to wait for whether to go into the system and buy a bottle of physical recovery potion, otherwise he may not be able to run halfway through the third quarter.

The atmosphere here is dreary, but the home locker room is full of joy. Eight points ahead of the Hornets at halftime, which was pretty good.

"George, the wasps aren't as hard to deal with as you think! Except for The One, who is not bad, the other Hornets players are too scummy. Cory Brewer said with a smile as he sat in his chair.

"Hey, Corey, don't say that, you're a bad character! If the ONE recurs to the level that we did last time, we're done. Big McGee stroked Brewer's head and said with some concern.

"That's right, ONE's powerful scoring ability is not to be underestimated. Not to mention whether he can burst out of his previous scoring ability, even if he only bursts out half, it is enough for us to drink a pot. Iguodala, who has always disliked speaking, also participated in the discussion.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the team was good, head coach George Karl did not interrupt the discussion of his players, but listened to their discussion while laying out the next tactics with the tactical coach.

Judging from the performance in the first half, there is a good chance that the Nuggets will win if they continue to play like this. But for some reason, Carl was always a little uneasy.

The biggest variable Yang Yi has not yet been solved, and this game cannot be conclusive.

Everything can only be clear after solving the fat man!
