After a hasty road trip to the Cavaliers, the Nuggets, who are sixth in the West, returned home to face the challenge of the fourth-placed Green Army in the East during a two-game winning streak.
In the Nuggets, Jokic + Aaron Gordon are in hot form, and the team has home advantage in this campaign, and head coach Malone is also lining up to try to lead the team to defend the home.
On the other hand, on the side of the Green Army, the double probe flower Tatum + Jaylen Brown is in the sky, and the Green Army will also be ready to go on the road, and the sword will win 3 consecutive games!
However, after four quarters of playing, with a wave of 24-4 scoring climax, the green army, which was dominated by the guests, comprehensively suppressed the Nuggets in the first half, achieving a huge advantage of as many as 25 points.
Although after returning from the second half, the third saver Ketch + Hyland + Rivers Jr. felt hot and led the Nuggets to play several waves of counter-attack and successfully bit the score.
But helplessly in the final final battle, Tatum + Gwe continued to exert force, the Green Army has maintained a 20-point difference, and the Nuggets can't chase the points, only to lose.
In the end, the Green Army, which was full of enthusiasm, also won 124-104 against the Nuggets on the road, which was worth the trip to win 3 consecutive wins at the same time, but also gave the opponent Nuggets 2 consecutive defeats!
Rushing to the away game in this game, the Green Army continued the fiery state during the winning streak, playing a team performance of 4 people scoring in double figures, and winning a 20-point victory.
In the case of smart + Lowe + Gway and other main players, each performing their duties, the two aces Tatum + Jaylen Brown, and the play of tiger general Pu Richard on the bench are particularly critical!
In this game, Tatum was full of firepower, starting 31 minutes, shooting 11 three-pointers from 17 from the middle and outside the line, and bombed a game-high 30 points, plus 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 10 points in the single quarter of the final quarter not only provided the Green Army with a powerful outside firepower, but also completely took over the game almost single-handedly!
More importantly, after scoring 6 three-pointers in this campaign, Tatum's career three-point shooting total in the Green Army also officially surpassed Ray Allen and rose to the third place in team history, which can be said to have set a brilliant personal record!
In addition, as another scorer in the Green Army, the recent hot jaylen Brown played, also contributed.
This battle Jaylen Brown ushered in the outbreak, shooting 3 three-pointers on 12-of-19 shooting, delivering a 30+6+1 outstanding performance, and once became a difficult existence for the Nuggets to solve!
Of course, the Green Army was able to beat the Nuggets in this game, and the performance of Pu Richard on the bench also played a crucial role.
In this game, Pred richard was ordered to come off the bench for 19 minutes, shooting 6 of 6 three-pointers, 5 shooting 5 shots, not to mention, and contributing 17 points + 2 rebounds + 3 assists + 1 steal efficient performance.
At the same time, the whole game, Pritchard personally has not made a mistake, it can be said that at both ends of the attack and defense, with excellent personal performance, successfully affected the trend of the game!
On the other hand, on the side of the Nuggets, the team collapsed in this game at both ends of the attack and defense, and finally swallowed the 20-point rout + 2 consecutive losing game performance, which obviously made the home fans a little difficult to accept.
More critically, for the Nuggets, after losing to the Green Army in this game and suffering 2 consecutive defeats, the Nuggets' regular season record has also come to 42 wins and 30 losses, and has been officially overtaken by the Timberwolves in the rankings, falling to the seventh place in the West and entering the play-off zone!
Obviously, as the team's home star, I have to say that Jokic can adjust his state in time, lead the team out of adversity, and avoid the play-off area in the next few fixtures, which will undoubtedly face great challenges and tests!
