After losing the opening game, the team then flew to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.

This season, Kidd began to enter his peak period. In the opening game, Kidd scored 15 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds in a quasi-triple double-digit data.

Compared with the Suns, the Nuggets are stronger in the inside. Although Criverde Robinson of the Suns is excellent enough, they still have a big gap with McDace.

As for the Suns center Luke Longley, although he has 218 cm and was once the main center of the Bulls dynasty, since he was traded to the Suns, he has felt that he is not accommodating.

Perhaps it was because of his performance in the last game, or perhaps because of Stich's poor form, Billups was valued by D'Antoni, and he eventually replaced Stich and became the team's starting shooting guard.

On the other hand, the Suns sent center Luke Longley, power forward Clifford Robinson, small forward Tom Gugliotta, shooting guard Rex Chapman and point guard Jason Kidd.

This season, with the strength of the Nuggets, it is difficult to win too many games, so we naturally have to grasp every game well.

D'Antoni just became the head coach and naturally doesn't want the team to have a bad record, otherwise he may lose his job.

After the game started, the Suns began to take the initiative on the field. Under Kidd's leadership, they beat the Nuggets 7 points in the first quarter.

In the middle of the second quarter, McDace began to exert force and scored seven points in a row, helping the team to get into the score.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. This time, the Nuggets' substitute dropped the chain and was replaced by Billups, Stic's condition was obviously affected and his performance was not good on the court.

Stich was fine, but Williams performed worse, scored two points from one of five shots, and was even more sieve by his opponent.

Due to the lack of substitutes, the Suns took the lead with a score of 59-51 by the end of the half.

After the start of the third quarter, the Nuggets chased forward, but never reversed the decline, and the Suns still took the initiative.

In the fourth minute of the third quarter, D'Antoni could no longer bear Williams' poor performance. He was fed up with Williams's weakness on the offensive end and his terrible defense.

After hesitating for a moment, D'Antoni asked Foxson to continue to rest, and then called the name of the pond.

In fact, D'Antoni was not at ease with Chihsung, but Chihsung was the first round pick after all. In addition, he was a hard training and a first-hand basket, which may be helpful to the team.

In order to avoid Ikegami being too urgent and eager to show himself, D'Antoni began to remind: "Ikegami, remember to defend well. If there is an opportunity, don't hesitate and shoot as soon as possible!"

"Yes, coach!"

Chi Shang responded and began to walk towards the field.

"Man, is that a yellow man?"

Seeing Ikegami appearing on the court, a fan sitting in the front row was full of doubts.

From a historical perspective, Chi Shang is the second yellow race to join the NBA. It has been decades since the first yellow race to play.

"Yes, he should be a yellow man!"

"I have never seen a yellow man who can play basketball before. I feel like the Nuggets are giving us points!"

"That's not a good thing, haha!"

...

Amid the discussions of Suns fans, Chisukami stood on the court, his teammates were Lafrenz, McDyce, Washington and Billups, who were controlled by Billups.

At this time, Billups passed the half with the ball, and Lafrenz ran out of the open with his flexible steps.

As he gets older and tall, Luke Longley's role in defensive end gradually declines, making it difficult to keep up with Lafrenz's pace.

Without hesitation, Billups passed the ball to Lafrenz.

Lafrenz wanted to shoot, and the Suns' substitute small forward Morris hurriedly threw the pool and rushed towards Lafrenz.

Without forcibly shooting, Lafrenz retracted the basketball and passed the ball to Chi Shang.

Before Morris could return, he jumped high on the pool outside the three-point line, stretched his figure and threw the ball towards the basket.

Brush ~

The basketball is hollowed out into the net, which is also the first time that Chikami scored in the regular season.

68:61

After shooting this goal, the original double-digit score difference was still seven points left.

The pressure brought by double-digit and single-digit numbers is obviously different, and at least the Nuggets players breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good vote!"

"You passed it on!"

Before the Suns serve, Ikegami and Lafrenz raised their right hand and clapped each other.

Soon, Kidd passed the half and started organizing the team's offense.

With Longley's pick-and-roll, Kidd easily avoided Billups and began to use the ball to attack the penalty area.

McDace is closest to the point, so he hurriedly left Robinson behind to help defend Kidd.

Before McDace could step forward, Kidd passed the ball accurately to Robinson.

Without hesitation, Robinson jumped up and wanted to have a double-handed dunk.

At this moment, Chisaka appeared in front of Robinson. While jumping up, he slapped his right hand hard on the basketball.

In the air, Robinson's arms veins swelled up and he wanted to force a dunk, but what shocked him was that the power of Chi Shang was not only not weaker than him, but was still above him, and he finally raided the basketball on the rebound.

When the basketball fell, Robinson wanted to grab the offensive rebound, but was stuck behind by the pool. No matter how hard he exerted, he could not squeeze it away.

Chi Shang gently eased his ape's arms and easily grabbed the defensive rebound.

"nice shot!"

D'Antoni stood up. He didn't expect that Chi Shang, who had just been on the court, would play a role in the offense and defense.

This steady posture does not feel like a rookie, but rather like an old football player.

After taking the rebound on the Chiang, he saw that there was no chance of a fast break, so he passed the ball to Billups.

After halftime, the pool moved to the bottom corner, opening up low space for McDais.

After discovering that there was no chance, Billups passed the ball to Mike Days.

Among the Nuggets players, McDyce is also the most favorable scoring point in positional battles.

Facing Robinson's defense, Mike Des played extremely easily and once again forced the opponent to take advantage of the opponent at the low post.

Soon, McDyce used his flexible steps to successfully break through Robinson and jumped to shoot before Longley assisted in defense.

However, he was not very lucky. The basketball failed to hit the outside edge of the basket and bounced towards the pool.

Morris wanted to fight and started to entangle with Chishang. However, Chishang's feet seemed to be rooted on the ground. No matter how hard Morris used, he could not push Chishang away. In the end, Chishang grabbed the offensive rebound.

At this time, Ikesaka raised his hands and made a shooting posture.
Chapter completed!
