The Golden Invincible of Basketball

After playing for a month, the Pelicans' record is much better than expected, which excites both management and fans.

But beyond that, there is another good news.

Jokic has successfully reduced his weight from 133 kg to 120 kg last month!

He has reached the minimum weight required by the team!

The team originally thought that this process would take three to four months, but Jokic worked hard to prove that losing weight was enough for one month!

Although most of the fat was lost, only Jokic knows how much sweat and effort he has paid since then.

Although his weight loss plan will continue, for him, about 113 kilograms is the most suitable weight.

But now, he has obviously become more flexible on the court, especially on the defensive end, the idea that his body can keep up with his brain is no longer easy to be beaten.

After finishing the Spurs before, in order to protect Jokic, the Pelicans did not arrange Jokic to enter the game, Evans replaced his previous rotation position.

This kept Jokic long enough. During the training game, he was struggling and even gained the upper hand with Whiteside for some time.

His talent is really extraordinary.

Williams was also pleased to see this and put him on the next list of activations for the Nuggets.

When Jokic heard the news, there was a fierce flash in his eyes, it was like a beast in a trapped cage, and it finally felt like coming out!

On the last day of November, the Pelicans flew to Denver, where they will welcome the Nuggets.

Denver is the league's famous home on the plateau, with an average altitude of 1655 meters, making it the league's best.

Living in such a place may not feel particularly large.

However, if it is a high-intensity exercise on this, it will not be long before it will run out of energy, sweating like rain.

Occupying this position, the Nuggets have the highest home win rate in almost every season, which is also the origin of the "Devil's Home".

Take the Nuggets' most brilliant 2012-2013 season, they achieved the best 57-25 record in team history.

Their away record is 19 wins and 22 losses, but their home record is 38 wins and 3 losses!

The difference is incredible, but statistics are not fake.

No matter what period this team is in, it is not easy to take a victory from here.

Especially in winter, altitude sickness will be more obvious.

The Pelicans will be a tough battle.

And they definitely want to win this game.

Not only is the Warriors behind behind, but also because the two away games they played here last season lost, they need to correct their names.

Upon arrival in Denver, Williams arranged for adaptive training.

It can be seen from the training that the physical exertion of the team members is much better than before.

The Nuggets have spent most of their time in Denver and are used to their bodies, but for visiting teams like the Pelicans, this is what they need to overcome.

"Damn Denver, I hate it!"

After the training, Whiteside couldn't help cursing.

The teammates all laughed, and the words were not rough. Whiteside was calling them out.

Tang Tian also smiled at this time, this is a manifestation of the Pelicans team atmosphere.

After the training, the team members successively boarded the bus to return to the hotel.

Tang Tian found that Jokic didn't get in the car at this time, and asked Borrego to know that the guy stayed in the training hall for more training.

It seems that Jokic hasn't played for half a month, it's really a bit bad.

The next night, and the first day of December, the Pelicans and Nuggets played at the Denver Pepsi Center.

The attendance rate of the fans at the scene was around 70%.

Although the Nuggets are the home of the Devil, these two years after leaving Anthony, the stadium attendance has plummeted, generally only about 50%.

The extra 20% tonight is also related to the opponent's Pelicans.

Although many fans feel that the Pelicans' first record in the west is not stable for too long, the Pelicans are now the real league first.

Playing this strong team at home, many fans will buy it.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides have been released.

The Pelicans still have the regular lineup, with Holliday and Tang Tian outside, Ariza and Davis at the front, and Whiteside at the center.

On the Nuggets side, Ty Lawson and Afflalo on the perimeter, Wilson Chandler on the front line and Faried on the "orcs", center Mozgov.

George Carr brought the Nuggets to the pinnacle of team history in the 2012-2013 season, but after Iguodala left, Carr immediately left.

His successor is from the Lakers, Phil Jackson's former assistant coach Brian Shaw.

Shaw continued Carr's tactics, and the Nuggets are still the main offensive team basketball.

This team now has the highest average scoring for Aflaro, but only 14.3 points per game.

Except for him, Lawson averaged 13.9 points, Chandler averaged 13.2 points, Farrier was averaging 12 points, and bench substitute Gallinari averaged 11 points.

This score distribution seems to be very even, but because the team core is not established, resulting in poor results.

But even so, their home win rate this season is far better than away victory, they are determined to impact the playoffs, and every home will go all out.

As soon as the game began, Farrier jumped over Davis and won the opportunity for the Nuggets to take the lead.

As soon as Lawson came up, Chandler made a 3-pointer.

The Nuggets played very well at home and had a strong self-confidence.

Tang Tian's layup after the breakthrough also scored 2 points for the Pelicans.

The Nuggets had a hot start, and the Pelicans were stronger, and the two teams played equally.

The turn of the game came from the first quarter to 7 minutes, when the Pelicans players felt obvious problems.

The source of this problem is the altitude sickness. They feel that the basketball in their hands is obviously heavier than usual.

Under NBA-level confrontation, one thing is a lot, their offensive efficiency has dropped significantly.

Williams knew what was happening, and his approach was to advance into rotation.

At this time, the advantages of the Nuggets over the whole nation began to show ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Substitute Galinari, Nurkic, Randy Foye and others were clearly playing against the Pelicans.

After the first quarter, the Nuggets used the second half of the game to lead the Pelicans to a double-digit advantage 32 to 22.

The emergence of one thing is definitely caused by many factors. This game was a great experience for Tang Tian. The Nuggets have achieved the best record in team history that was impossible in the Anthony era in the 2012 ~ 2013 season.

It really depends on this highland home court, the whole people are soldiers, they lie on your main force, and then use the substitute to dry you.

In the second quarter, Williams replaced Jokic.

A veteran like Evans responded more to the plateau, breathing heavily after a few minutes of intense confrontation.

Jokic just stood up calmly when he heard Williams calling himself.

But from his eyes, he can feel that this guy is now a beast out of the cage.
