Chapter 143 Reception
In the second half, the Nuggets' outside firepower finally recovered. Gallinari hit a three-pointer when he came up, and Iguodala felt much better.
On the contrary, Gay's hand feeling on the Grizzlies' side declined, and the Nuggets took the lead in an instant.
The situation is a bit bad, and the Grizzlies' outside line is even more obvious.
Xiang Chu didn't know whether they were different from other teams and liked to challenge the difficulty, or the Grizzlies' perimeter forced them to have no choice but to play against Xiang Chu in various ways.
Whether it is Gasol Jr. or Randolph, the effect of forcing Xiang Chu is not high.
Xiang Chu's defense is mediocre, but his weight and confrontation are there. It's easy to pull out and shoot. He is really not good at singles in his position.
In the first half, the Grizzlies played hard inside and only caused Xiang Chu to foul twice, so Xiang Chu is not worried. His current defense is to learn from Gasol and will not take off blindly.
However, in this quarter, the referee blew his fouls in two consecutive confrontations.
At 3 minutes and 28 seconds into the third quarter, Xiang Chu fouled for the fifth time and had to leave the game early to rest.
He didn't expect this kind of thing at all. He was called for three fouls in this quarter, and only two of his five fouls were shooting fouls.
George Karl was very angry and protested loudly to the referee, but to no avail.
The referee didn't give him a technical foul to save face. George Karl just expressed his attitude that he should make a substitution. He actually regretted that the substitution was late, and he should have replaced Xiang Chu when he fouled four times.
No matter how well Xiang Chu played, he was only a sophomore, and the referee didn't give him face.
Mozgov came up and played without success, and the Nuggets still kept their lead in this quarter.
Entering the final quarter, the Nuggets intend to try a small lineup and use it to attack the Grizzlies.
But this time it was self-defeating. Not long after, Faried also received his fifth foul. The Nuggets didn't rush in at all.
After careful consideration, George Karl replaced Xiang Chu in the normal rotation time.
If you call another foul, you will be sent off. The referee will be more cautious this time.
Xiang Chu went up with an offensive rebound, and then dunked and abused the basket.
He was also very upset in his heart, and it was fine to call him a foul, and now he is going to fight it out.
Xiang Chu not only scored on the court, but also had a strong rebounding ability. The situation of the Nuggets was different in an instant.
They recovered the score and took the lead again. At this time, the Grizzlies could only rely on outside players to withstand it.
The Grizzlies' perimeter players were really competitive at this time. First, substitute player Wayne Ellington hit a three-pointer, and then Gay hit a few singles.
The stalemate between the two sides lasted until the last few minutes, but when it was almost the last 3 minutes, Xiang Chu's thugs defended six fouls.
The Nuggets still led by 2 points when he left the field, but the Grizzlies immediately settled the battle.
At the critical moment, all the outsiders hit the iron. Only Faried, who committed five offenses, and Mozgov, who came off the bench, scored 2 points respectively. Ty Lawson, the outside core, only scored 3 points, which made people sigh.
With 19 points and 15 rebounds, Xiang Chu, who left the field early, handed over the best answer sheet of the team. The performance of the Nuggets' starting outside line is not as good as Brewer's substitute, and it is normal to lose.
George Karl was aggrieved after the game, "If it is normal for Xiang Chu to be sent off, several players from the Grizzlies should also be sent off."
Xiang Chu said on social media, "I need to study the rules of the league."
His words aroused discussion among many fans. People who didn't like him ridiculed him, saying that his routines had been seen through by others. If he was lucky, he would talk about new offensive methods. If he didn't think so, he would blame the referee.
The fans who like him are louder. They get angry when they watch the game. Xiang Chu is also an All-Star player. It’s fine if he doesn’t have a star whistle. Countless times.
Xiang Chu didn't mention the referee at all, and the officials didn't say anything, but George Karl was fined.
Xiang Chu immediately expressed his willingness to pay the fine for the head coach. His salary is not high now, but there is still money to pay the fine.
He became famous this season, and there are actually a lot of commercial endorsements being talked about.
It's just that the price hasn't fully risen yet. After discussing with Xiang Chu, Jim Smith and Xiang Chu decided to wait until he officially enters the All-Star, and the endorsement price should increase a little bit more.
After a while, Xiang Chu may be richer than many players who have received tens of millions of contracts.
In today's information society, it's good to be high-profile. Some players play well, but they don't have any endorsement contracts. When Xiang Chu played soy sauce last season, many businessmen contacted him.
After returning to Denver, Xiang Chu still has another arduous task, which is to welcome Olivia's family.
The other party was unwilling to live in Xiang Chu's house, and even planned to take Olivia to celebrate the New Year alone, but Olivia still persuaded the family, of course, the girl's family may just be arrogant.
It's not easy to raise a daughter. I didn't expect this guy to fall into the arms of a man across the country and didn't want to go back. Old Johnson felt very ashamed.
For the sake of future happiness, Xiang Chu certainly doesn't mind lowering his profile to please his sister's family.
Picking up someone at the airport in person is a must. Olivia’s father, Barney Johnson, is fat in his middle age, and he looks at Xiang Chu with unfriendly eyes. Olivia’s mother, Ms. Sierra, is a round, middle-aged beauty , with a much better attitude than Mr. Barney.
"You're my sister's boyfriend, so you're just average handsome." Olivia's younger sister, Hibel, was very lively, and her words were familiar.
Olivia is like his father. Mr. Barney must have been a handsome guy before he gained weight. Xibel looks like his mother and is also very beautiful, but he is about 10 centimeters shorter than Olivia.
Xiang Chu took the family to his home, and the home had already arranged everything for the New Year in accordance with Canadian customs, including the best ingredients.
In this regard, Xiang Chu has no pressure. Xiang Jianzhong also celebrates the New Year's Day according to the customs of Irene's hometown, and celebrates the Spring Festival according to the customs of China. There is no conflict at all, and Xiang Chu is more inclusive.
Xiang Chu bought a big house, promising and polite, even the old Johnson deliberately put on airs, and changed his attitude after eating together.
The daughter is determined, so what can I do if I don't change my attitude? Fortunately, Xiang Chu is a sensible young man, and there is no need for them to start a backup plan for disciplining their daughter.
Xiang Chu's star status has played a positive role, otherwise Xiang Chu is Chinese, everyone has different concepts and customs, and the Johnson family will be very worried.
Young people are the quickest to get acquainted with each other directly, and Hiber has already spoken out, asking when they had a baby.
Overall, this meeting was a success. Xiang Chu still has to play a game, and then Olivia will play around with her family. If they are far away, they won’t care so much about their daughter’s boyfriend. .
When Xiang Chu went out, the old Johnson asked him why he didn't play for the Raptors. This must be someone who doesn't understand the game.
