Chapter 983 Leading the Leaderboard
Of course, this game does not have any reference value, but from this game, many people realized that, regardless of the combat effectiveness of the Thunder and Warriors, the Thunder is currently better than the health of the players alone.
Of course, this does not mean that the Thunder will remain healthy until the end. There is no absolute in this.But from the perspective of probability, they are also more likely to be healthy.
After defeating the Warriors at home, the Thunder's record came to 15 wins and 2 losses, continuing to hold the league's first position.
During this period of time, the Thunder, even off the Rockets and Warriors, the two powerful western rivals, still holds the position of the biggest favorite to win the championship.And Xie Kai continued to lead the regular season MVP rankings.In terms of his current state and team record, according to this trend, although he has already had two consecutive matches, you really have to give him, otherwise it will cause huge controversy to anyone.
The NBA doesn't like a dominant player. They want to hold superstars, but it won't always be you.Strictly speaking, Xie Kai has never been favored by the league, and he has never enjoyed the so-called "superstar whistle" so far.Because he is Chinese and a man of yellow race, the league has no reason to favor you.
The league hopes that there will be people of all kinds, because more people pay attention to the NBA, which can make the cake of the NBA bigger.But after all, this is the American Professional Basketball League, not the World Basketball League. They can see whites and blacks ruling the league, but they don't want to see a yellow man ruling the league all the time.
So to some extent, Xie Kai is more difficult than Jordan in the process of striving to become the best in the league.
But no one cares about you, and the league will not admit who they praise. You have no evidence to say that the superstar whistle exists, because many judgments of referees are subjective, which is different from computer judgments.
On November 11, they narrowly beat the Hornets away and ushered in a 24-game winning streak.
On November 11, the Thunder will return to their home court to face the Nuggets back to back.
The Nuggets have played very well this season. They are currently ranked No. 4 in the Western Conference. They have a good momentum and a lot of stamina.With a record of 46 wins and 36 losses last season, they unfortunately ranked 9th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs, which is indeed a pity.
According to this momentum this season, the Nuggets will become very likely to return to the playoffs.
The Denver track and field team back then has now become a floor team. The Nuggets headed by Mr. Yue are not good at athletic ability, but they are more and more skilled, and the overall skin color of the lineup has also turned white. The style is quite different.
The last time the Nuggets made the playoffs was in the 2012-13 season. It has been 6 years now. In the past 6 years, they have not been completely bad, so there is no No. [-] pick, but through self-cultivation, I was stunned to discover the genius of Teacher Yue.Now they use the teacher as the cornerstone of the team to build a team with a unique style, which can be regarded as a different kind of scenery in the league.
In terms of strength on paper, the Thunder naturally have the absolute upper hand, but everyone knows that competitive sports don't just rely on strength on paper.Like the regular season, which is somewhat similar to encounters, the lower-ranked team upsets the upper-ranked team. Such things often happen.Not to mention that the Nuggets are not such a low-ranking team. With their state this season, they are expected to hit the top 4 in the Western Conference.
There are still many people who are optimistic about the Nuggets in this game, because the Thunder just went to Charlotte to play an away game, and they are exhausted, and there may be some problems with back-to-back physical fitness.
Attendance at the Ford Center is always full.Oklahoma City is not a metropolis like New York and Los Angeles, but because the Thunder's record in the past few seasons has been very good, and they have won two championship trophies in a row, the fans' enthusiasm for watching the game is beyond ordinary people's comprehension.
Not to mention that as long as Xie Kai is on the team, a lot of K honey is an important part of the scene.According to special statistics, K honey's ticket purchase rate is the highest among all star honeys!
In the past few seasons, when the Nuggets met the Thunder, their winning percentage was very low, even in the Devil's home court in Salt Lake City.Later, everyone also understood why the Devil's home game did not have much influence on the Thunder players, because many of these players had trained on the plateau in China.
China has the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau known as the "roof of the world", which is comparable to the plateau in Utah!
Some American fans have never seen the world, especially those who live in Denver and Salt Lake City. They think that this place is already a place with a super high altitude, how awesome it is, but in fact, they are just watching the sky from a well.
This game was broadcast live on Tencent, and Wang Meng and Su Qun were responsible for the commentary.
Wang Meng still had the smile of Little Thomas. Since Little Thomas was no longer awesome due to injury, he seemed to have kept a low profile a lot, maybe because he was afraid that others would use this stalk to make fun of him!
Su Qun still has a gentle appearance. As the first batch of basketball reporters in China, his status in the world is beyond doubt. He was once the editor-in-chief of "Basketball Pioneer".
In this game, the starting lineup of the Thunder team at home continued the previous lineup, which is still the Big Three + duck eggs + Patterson.Their lineup has not changed for a long time, and stability is also a must for a championship team.
The starting lineup of the Nuggets in the away game is: Center-Teacher Yue, Power Forward-Juanjo Hernangomez, Small Forward-Paul Millsap, Shooting Guard-Tory Clegg , Point guard - Jamal Murray.
The overall height of the Nuggets lineup is also tall, and the players are also quite big.They don't have 7-footers, but these players have size and are strong.
Wang Meng said with a smile: "Mr. Su, do you think Adams can limit appointments with teachers?"
Su Qun adjusted his glasses and said: "Jokic is hard to guard against because of his elusive passing, and he has good singles ability. It may not be limited by one person. This requires the efforts of the whole team."
Ask the teacher and Yadan to prepare the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
Nowadays, it is not surprising that foreign centers jump the ball in the middle circle, because the starting centers of many strong teams are also foreign players.
Just like Bogut of the Warriors before, the Duck of the Thunder, the teacher of the Nuggets, the white bear of the Raptors, etc.
The jump ball started, Duck jumped the ball and won the appointment with the teacher, and the game officially started.
Westbrook slowly dribbles across half court, guarded by young Nuggets guard Jamal Murray.
Murray is very young, only 21 years old this year. He graduated from the University of Kentucky and was selected by the Nuggets with the seventh overall pick in the 2016 draft.
2016-17赛季，穆雷代表掘金队出战82场常规赛比赛，场均得到9.9分、2.6个篮板和2.1次助攻，最终入选了年度最佳新秀二阵。
