Chapter 399: Hot Hand Nuggets
Chapter 399: Hot Hand Nuggets
In the last quarter of the game with the Thunder, Jiang Yang and their main forces did not play, but even if they won the game like this, it was very easy, the Thunder scored 27 points in the final quarter, but the Raptors also scored 19 points, which was enough.
In the end, the Raptors won the game with a 105-93, 12-point advantage! Jiang Yang didn't play in the fourth quarter, only played three quarters, and scored a game-high 25 points, plus 10 rebounds, 15 assists, 2 blocks and 6 steals.
In addition to Jiang Yang, the Raptors also have six people scoring double-doubles, and a total of seven people in the team scoring double-doubles, which is really powerful.
Banjani scored 20 points, DeRozan scored 14 points, Andrei Kirilenko got 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and he was still very well-rounded, but he did quite well defensively today! Marc Gasol had 13 points and nine rebounds, Leandro Barbosa who came off the bench had 15 points, and Marcus Thorton had 11 points today.
On the Thunder side, a total of three people scored double-doubles, and three people scored 20, and the highest score was their bench, James Harden, who scored a team-high 23 points, and he was the only one who didn't shoot so many points, and Russell Westbrook, who was opposite Jiang Yang, although he also got 22 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, but look at his shooting percentage, 7 of 21 shots, such a shooting rate is enough to explain everything, when Jiang Yang was on the court, the first three quarters, He scored a total of eight points, and when Jiang Yang was not on the court in the last quarter, he began to go crazy, and got the remaining 14 points, and 27 points in the last quarter, many of which he scored! And Kevin Durant, the first brother of this Thunder team.
He scored a total of 20 points today, and his performance can only be described as poor, his shooting percentage was even lower than Westbrook's, and he only shot 6 of 21 in the whole game, and was prevented by Andrei Kirilenko as a fool!
Kirilenko is also light enough, except for a three-pointer who was sneaked by him at the beginning, none of the remaining five three-pointers scored! One of the three-pointers was forced down by Kirilenko, which is Kirilenko's strength.
Except for these three guys, no one in the entire Thunder team scored a double-double, and such a result is indeed miserable.
However, for the Raptors, this Western five company heard the first shot, and the fight was quite loud.
With the aftermath of a winning streak, the Raptors are back in Denver, ready to take on the Nuggets' challenge here!
The Nuggets are one of the more alternative teams in the league recently, and the current team is a bit similar to the Rockets.
That is, there is no All-Star level player, since the All-Star Game, the Nuggets replaced the Knicks half team with Anthony and Billups, and everyone originally thought that the Nuggets might go downhill.
After all, there is not even a main point of attack in their team now, but the performance of the Nuggets made everyone almost not break their glasses, and the performance of the Nuggets team has not changed for the worse because of the departure of Anthony and Billups, of course, it has not changed for the better! But they are still firmly rooted in the top eight positions in the West, which makes those who originally felt that they had hope to pull the Nuggets down, like rockets and the like, have to look up to the sky and sigh, this day can't be lived......
However, even if the Nuggets have a good result recently, no one would have believed before the game that the Raptors would lose the game.
Because in their opinion, the current Nuggets are not the opponent of the Raptors at all, but the Nuggets have taught them a lesson.
What is called, how bold people are, how prolific the land is, today's Nuggets team told everyone, what is the unsolvable hit rate! Today's Nuggets starting lineup is as follows, starting center Nene Hilario, this is the number one person in the Nuggets team now, power forward Kenyon Martin, small forward Danilo Gallinari, small forward Wilson Chandler, point guard Ty Lawson.
This lineup can be said to be tepid, facing the Raptors led by Jiang Yang, at least two levels or more.
After the game started, things went on like what Raptors fans thought, after the game started, although the Nuggets played very tenacious, but the Raptors still pressed the opponent to play, and with 5 minutes and 42 seconds left in the first quarter, the Raptors still led the opponent by three points at 18-15, but then ...... The Nuggets are going crazy! First, Ty Lawson, who was forced to twenty-four seconds by Jiang Yang, interfered with a three-point shot in front of Jiang Yang, but with his height of 1.80 meters.
Dry pulling? Jiang Yang went up and slapped the ball, three fingers rubbed the basketball, according to Jiang Yang's thoughts, the ball should be slapped away, but after it was unexpectedly raised by a piece, he continued to fly towards the basket.
This really scared Jiang Yang! This Ty Lawson's strength is really great, and something that frightened Jiang Yang even more then appeared, this basketball that was obviously shot up by Jiang Yang actually fell into the basket!
Now Ty Lawson and the fans at Pepsi Center in Denver are crazy, they cheer loudly, this can be regarded as Jiang Yang!
And that's not the end of it...... In Jiang Yang's surprised gaze, the entire Nuggets team has become a mascot!
What is it called, RP trembled, God was afraid, Jiang Yang finally understood now! Just want the Nuggets to shoot, even if Jiang Yang really fanned the basketball away, the basketball will return to the hands of the Nuggets players.
And to stop them from shooting, it's simply impossible...... Nene Hilario grabbed the rebound inside and made a layup...... Kenyon Martin hits mid-range shot...... Al Harrington came off the bench and hit a three-pointer......
With more than five minutes left in the first quarter, the Nuggets miraculously scored a full 21 points! The Raptors only scored nine points, and at the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led the Raptors by a full nine points at home 36-27!
Such a score made the Raptors players stunned, as well as the referees and those who bet on the game......
"The Raptors are releasing water?" As soon as these words surfaced, they were snuffed out by these people, with Jiang Yang here, it is impossible for the Raptors to release water, everyone knows that Jiang Yang's temper is very strange, and very big, he will never allow his team or players to release water, it is estimated that if someone really releases water, Jiang Yang will discuss with Jay Tria as soon as possible, replace him, and then refrigerate until the end of the season, and then trade this guy away.
Jiang Yang will do this, so don't think that the All-Star Game is over and you will be safe when the trade window is closed.
Safety, that's only temporary! Jiang Yang's moodiness of this guy...... Who knows what demon moth he will come out of next time.
And Jiang Yang didn't play match-fixing, which can only prove that the luck of the Nuggets is too rebellious, and in the second quarter of the game, it's basically like this, as long as they shoot, they can score! The Raptors are playing well, but there is nothing they can do in front of them!
If you score one on your side, the opponent will score one, and the Raptors keep a 40% shooting rate amazing! And the opponent's hit rate is as high as more than 50%! At halftime, the Nuggets led the Raptors by as many as 16 points, 72-56.
Ty Lawson shot a total of six balls and hit five for a whopping seventeen! Chandler and two benches, Harrington and J.R. Smith scored 10, 11 and 10 points respectively, while the Raptors, although there were also three people who scored double-doubles, Jiang Yang, Banyani and DeRozan, but there was no way to restrain the Nuggets' offense, not that they didn't defend.
Now even if he is the host of ESPN on the sidelines, defensive master Jeff Van Gundy can't say much when he looks at the Raptors' defense, and after feeling that the opponent's hand is too good, the Raptors have strengthened their defense, with such defense, they can limit the score of a team with a normal feel to less than 90 points, but they have no way to face the current Nuggets.
It's not that the players don't work hard, it's not that the players aren't in place, it's not that the players are tired, it's not that the players don't care, everything is in extremely good condition, but they just can't hit the ball, and this kind of hitting rate is really helpless......
At the end of the first half, the Nuggets shot 26 of 49 shots in the game, with a shooting rate of 53.1%, which can already be regarded as inhuman, not to mention that in the case of Jiang Yang and their full defense, if they meet other teams, Jiang Yang is even wondering, will these guys score more than 100 in half the game...... Such a hit rate is too inexplicable.
After the start of the third quarter, the Raptors began to fight back after reorganizing their morale! Under Jiang Yang's leadership, the Raptors opened with a 10-0 attack wave, Jiang Yang hit two three-pointers, and Banyani and Marc Gasol hit mid-range shots to help the Raptors narrow the score to just six points, but Ty Lawson and Nene stood up again.
Ty Lawson played another magical scene, he wanted to forcibly break through to Jiang Yang for a layup, but Jiang Yang chased after him and slapped the basketball on the rebound, but maybe Jiang Yang's strength was a little too great, so after the basketball smashed on the rebound, it rebounded and fell off the rebound, and it happened to hit the head of Ty Lawson, who was hiding from Jiang Yang next to him! Ty Lawson was also stunned for a moment, his head was topped, just on the top of the basketball, and then Jiang Yang fell, and slowly flew towards the basket while holding the basket, and then fell directly into the basket, looking at the ball, not only Jiang Yang, everyone was dumbfounded, only Ty Lawson touched his head with a smirk, he felt that he could go to the field of football to develop, which is more difficult than the header in football, after all, there is a throwing line.
After landing on the ground, Jiang Yang patted his hand helplessly, and he also felt that he was really too much back today!
And Nene is basically the same, when he went to the basket, his body twisted into a twist in order to avoid Marc Gasol, but with such a casual throw, the basketball smashed on the neck of the basket, and it could be circled around the hoop three times before falling into the basket.
Really, in the face of such a hit rate, Jiang Yang and they can't even find a way to cry now, can they score such a goal?
At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets' score had exceeded 100, reaching 101 points, while the Raptors' score was only 85 points, still 16 points behind the opponent.
After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the Nuggets replaced the main lineup and let those benches play on the court, while the Raptors still let Banyani carry them on the court in order to chase points, but it turns out that the Nuggets' RP outbreak is not only their main force, there is such luck, they also have such luck, and it looks even more violent......
JR-Smith pulled, Jiang Yang's middle finger brushed it, but the ball still went in! Jiang Yang ...... After Harrington blocked and dismantled, he received the ball and was about to shoot three points, Jiang Yang slapped his head and face in the back, and directly cut the basketball off, but the basketball didn't move, and after bounced on the ground, it returned to Harrington's hand, and Harrington made a three-point shot! Jiang Yang ......
Jiang Yang can definitely be the most back-to-back day for himself and the Raptors today, chasing the score of the whole quarter, the Raptors are still 14 points behind the opponent when there are 2 minutes left in the game, it's not that the Raptors don't score high, it's not that they don't defend,
It's that they are useless even if they defend, the opponent can always score strange goals, as if watching an electric or cartoon, there will always be some magical big hands to help the Nuggets make those impossible goals possible.
After Jr-Smith rushed into the basket, he circled his arm three times before throwing the basketball out, not to mention wiping the rebound, flew directly into the air, and just when everyone felt that the ball was going out of bounds, the ball could still fall straight into the basket...... And this kind of magical and bizarre goal is just a microcosm of this game......
"Make no mistake!" Seeing that such a ball was also scored, Jiang Yang's face was bitter and resentful, and he was now helpless.
With two minutes left in the game, Jiang Yang was violent and used his excitement, but he appeared very sadly on the pass...... But even so, Jiang Yang also delivered four assists in just two minutes!
But the four assists in exchange for nine points (one three-pointer) can only narrow the opponent's score to five.
With Ty Lawson hitting a three-point shot in front of Jiang Yang again...... Jiang Yang knew that they were finished with this game!
Although Jiang Yang scored three points at the last moment, the game was over...... In this way, the Nuggets won the Raptors 133-128 and broke out a big upset, and in this way, the Raptors' seven-game winning streak was ended, and there was no chance to be terminated...... And Jiang Yang's today, the whole line broke out, after entering this month, Jiang Yang's score has not exceeded 33 points, and today's Jiang Yang's score once again makes people know that it is not nonsense that he is called the absolute scoring king.
With the team behind, Jiang Yang scored 13 points in the first quarter, 11 points in the second quarter, 12 points in the third quarter, and 15 points in the fourth quarter, for a total of 51 points! plus six rebounds, 17 assists, five blocks and five steals.
Again completed a 5x5 feat, continuing their magic, while also a 50+17 double-double, but even so, they still lost the game! The Raptors scored double-doubles for all five players, except for Jiang Yang, Banjani 14 points, DeRozan 11 points, Barbossa 10 points, and Mark Gasol 11 points, but even so, they still lost!
For the Nuggets, eight players scored in double figures, and Ty Lawson's Jiang Yang made three three-pointers in front of him...... He shot 8-of-10 from the field, almost as he shot anything, and scored a team-high 23 points, with Nene Hilario scoring 18 points, Wilson Chandler scoring 12 points, Kenyon Martin scoring 11 points, Danilo Gallinari scoring 11 points, Al Harrington scoring 15 points, Gary Forbes scoring 14 points, and J.R. Smith scoring 13 points!
Looking at such a score, not only the Raptors were helpless, but almost all of them and all teams were helpless......
Only Nuggets fans are still immersed in joy, and at the post-game press conference, even Nuggets coach George Carr had to admit that 'Lady Luck is with us', and the Raptors lost too much in today's game......
"Today's game was a joyful game that reminds me of the Harlem basketball team! No, the Harlem basketball team may not be able to do such a magical performance! Today's game can be directly selected into the NBA's top 100 funny classics without editing! Watching the game, Jeff Van Gundy of ESPN couldn't help but smile after the game.
At the end of this game, the Raptors were ended with a seven-game winning streak and ten losses, which basically missed the winning record set by the public team at the beginning, but it is estimated that it will not be a problem to create a winning record after entering the 21st century! Next to the Suns, Warriors and Clippers, if there is no accident, of course, it refers to an accident like today, if this is an accident like today, then the Raptors will win three in a row, this game is too depressing, the Raptors also need a punching bag, and the Suns, Warriors and Clippers, it seems that the Raptors are the Raptors' punching bag!
