Jokic scored 17+6+5 in 5 shots! The Raptors four young masters scored 47 points, and the Nuggets four new players perfectly adapted to the team

On October 7, the NBA preseason continued, and the Raptors faced the challenge of the Nuggets at home. Before this game, the Nuggets had played a preseason game. Although the core players performed well, the overall performance of the new players was not satisfactory. They got 4 new rotation players in the offseason, so the team also wanted to get in as soon as possible in the playoffs. Next, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the players' performance.

Match Review:

The first quarter starts Cameron Johnson and Jokic scored 5 points together to open the situation. Ingram and Barrett led the team to a 8-2 climax and overtake their opponents. Jokic made both free throws, and Barrett responded with three-pointer. After that, the game entered the Nuggets time. Braun and Murray led the team to a 14-1 offensive climax and directly established a double-digit lead. After that, the Raptors failed to make a decent counterattack. After the first quarter, the Raptors were 8 points behind.

Abakki and Mobo scored 5 points in the second quarter to help the Raptors narrow the score difference. Bruce Brown and Strauser led the team to a 8-0 climax and expanded the lead again. Ingram scored 4 points in a row to respond. Seeing that the opponent was about to take off, Jokic started his personal mode. He kept killing in the inside and scored 10 points in a single quarter to help the Nuggets withstand the opponent's counterattack. At the end of the quarter, Dick hit a three-pointer, and Cameron Johnson scored a counterattack, helping the Nuggets still lead by 8 points to end the first half.

Change of sides and scored two points to help the Raptors narrow the gap. Jokic obviously wanted to close the game. He scored 2+1. Then Jokic assisted Braun to make a three-pointer. Driven by Jokic, the Nuggets' climax directly expanded the lead to 14 points. After that, the Nuggets' core ended, which also allowed the Raptors to seize the opportunity. Mamu and Shelder scored one after another to help the Raptors chase to only 1 point. At the end of the quarter, Bruce Brown led the Nuggets to re-establish a 6-point lead and ended the third quarter.

The two sides were still in a very stalemate in the final quarter. In the last 3 minutes, Martine scored a score in the inside and the Raptors overtook 3 points. Holmes tied with three points and then Bates made both free throws. Then Holmes made another three-pointer, completely killing the suspense of the game. In the end, the Nuggets narrowly defeated the Raptors 112-106.

The four Raptors are difficult to be compatible

There are still many fans looking forward to the Raptors in the new season. After all, they won Ingram last season, and with Quickley, Barrett and Barnes, they have four All-Stars or potential All-Star players. It is not an exaggeration to say that the four Raptors are wingers, but most of them are wing players, so their playing styles are also conflicting, and the ball rights are not enough. Barrett and Ingram performed well in this game.

Ingram made 6 of 12 shots and scored 19 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, Barrett made 7 of 12 shots and scored 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but the other two core players either have few ball rights or are in poor condition, so they performed averagely. Quickley made 3 of 6 shots and scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, and Barnes made 0 of 6 shots and scored 1 point, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Even if they performed well, it is estimated that the ball rights will be difficult to allocate. This is Barnes' team, but Barnes' scoring ability is obviously not as good as Ingram.

The Raptors have considered this issue before. They plan to send Barrett away. To be honest, Barrett's ability is not lower than Barnes and Quickley. The main reason why he has not fully proved himself in the past few years is that he has never had an absolute core position. During the period when Barnes was injured last season, the cooperation between Barrett and Poulter was impressive. If the Raptors really want to trade him, I think a rebuilding team like the Nets can try to win him and build a team around him.

The Nuggets' four new players made efforts

The new players did not adapt to their position in the last game. They performed well in this game. Cameron Johnson made 4 of 6 shots in the game, 1 of 3 three-pointers and scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. He counterattacked a lot in this game. He was able to replace Porter Jr., and the defensive end helped the team more. Valan made 2 of 4 shots and scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Valan was still a paddle. If he was allowed to open his fire, most substitutes in the league would not be able to bear it.

Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown also began to show their value. Hardaway Jr. made 2 of 7 shots and scored 7 points and 2 rebounds. Although it is still very inefficient, as long as he comes on the court, the opponent will not dare to let him go and be able to open up the space. Bruce Brown scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the whole game. This is the Nuggets's championship puzzle. With him, he can not only help the substitute, but also partner with the starter and do a good job in defensive work on the wings.

Their core performance was also good in this game. Jokic scored 5 of 5 shots in the game, scoring 17 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. He scored 14 points in 4 of 5 shots in the last preseason. He made a total of 10 shots so far. This is an NBA-level game and deserves the title of the No. 1 player in the league. Braun showed the level of a top-notch guy in this game. He made 8 of 8 shots in this game, scoring 19 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Murray, the second in command of the team, scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
