Chapter 116 The Warrior and the Big Heart
With 4 minutes left in the game, the Nuggets temporarily led by 8 points.

Seeing that the winner was in his hands, George Karl sat on the bench, ready to welcome another victory.

At this time, someone from the Pistons stepped forward.

Although he has changed to No. 1 jersey, he is still the unyielding digital man No. 3 in his bones, the answer to the challenge to the powerful OK combination like Don Quixote!
Allen Iverson!
His performance in this game was mediocre. There was only a period of highlights in the second quarter, and Billups focused on marking the rest of the time.

Never underestimate the heart of a warrior.

Within 2 minutes, Iverson scored a 2+1, and let the poor JR directly foul six times, leave the field sadly, and made a long shot from beyond the three-point line.

With a difference of 8 points, only 2 points remained in an instant, and the morale-boosting Pistons began to launch a counterattack. For a while, the situation on the field became thrilling.

At this moment, No. 7 of the Nuggets ruthlessly tore into pieces the script of the Jedi's counterattack that seemed to have been predetermined.

You only know Iverson's nickname is Answer, do you know what my nickname is?

With two consecutive long shots one step outside the three-point line, Billups ruthlessly strangled the Pistons' counterattack just now in its infancy.

Killing everything is the greatest respect for one's old club!

At the last moment, the Pistons still wanted to struggle. They adopted foul tactics, but Billups' free throws were surprisingly stable as usual.

Billups, who silently handed over the stage to Anthony and Li Ran after coming to the Nuggets, finally showed his fangs in this game.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Billups walked towards the field silently amidst the cheers of the fans.

After all, the team he fought today has brought him a new life in his career, allowing him to win honors here that many superstars can only dream of in his lifetime.

When was the last time the Nuggets lost?
This goes back to December 12th, when they lost to the Spurs, where all members of GDP showed their strength.

Since then, the Nuggets have played a full 18 games.

In other words, before they knew it, the Nuggets ushered in another 18-game winning streak.

这个连胜记录，在现在的NBA可以排到第四位, 仅次于当年湖人的33连胜，去年马赛克刚刚创造的22连胜以及遥远的70-71赛季由贾巴尔和大O罗伯特森联手创造的20连胜。

And, their record looks set to continue.

Their opponent in the next game is the Mavericks led by the German king.

Gerald Green was injured after only 18 minutes, and Kidd Sr., Jason Terry, Nowitzki and the Nuggets fought fiercely.

Even though the German king felt hot in this game, he made 25 of 16 free throws, made all 12 free throws, and scored 44 points and 14 rebounds.

However, 14 of his 12 rebounds are backcourt rebounds.

George Karl seemed to have tasted the sweetness. This time, he pushed Li Ran to the fourth position again, to face Nowitzki.

But Nuo Tianwang's golden rooster is independent, even Li Ran can't do anything about it. He can't defend at all.

His touch in this game was so good that it exploded.

Moreover, JR's game was really scary. He successfully became a war criminal and made the Nuggets equal to 4 vs 6 on the court.

首发出场的JR全场14投仅1中！没有罚球，也不是三分，33分钟时间狂砍2分5篮板7助攻4失误。

It is true that the ghost knife in the attribute of the nerve knife is fully drawn.

The hit rate is 7.1, and the true hit rate is 7.1%.

To put it bluntly, if the Mavericks win this game, at the celebration banquet after the game, if JR does not come, no one in the Mavericks will dare to move their chopsticks.

Although he couldn't guard Nuo Tianwang, Li Ran still had other ways to help the team.

In this game, he and Birdman Anderson directly grabbed the Mavericks' rebounds.

Anderson scored a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

Li Ran was even more scary.

21 points and 20 rebounds, double 20!

Among the 20 rebounds, there are 8 offensive rebounds!
The total number of rebounds, the Mavericks 47, and the Nuggets grabbed a full 58!
The Nuggets fought this victory tenaciously and proudly left Texas with their 19th consecutive victory.

It seems that God doesn't want the Nuggets to live so comfortably. After returning to Denver, O'Neal suffered from leg discomfort and was sidelined for a week. Szczerbiak accidentally fell and sprained his foot while taking a shower at home.

All of a sudden, plus Anthony, who is still recovering from injury, the Nuggets have three important players missing.

Szczerbiak is second only to JR's important scoring point on the bench this season.

George Karl could only take the remnants of the formation to meet the sun that came for revenge.

Li Ran set a new record for playing time in his career. He only rested for 3 minutes and played 45 minutes. Together with Billups who played 41 minutes, he shot down the sun.

27分17篮板，26分5篮板7助攻。

However, this wave of winning streak for the Nuggets came to an end.

Back to back, go to Orlando to challenge the Magic.

Even Li Ran, who had used the recovery potion, couldn't restore his state to full, let alone Billups who had been fighting Nash for a whole game.

The two played very sluggishly in Orlando.

And the Magic has entered a full body state. They are waiting for work in this game, and the outside shooters are all feeling hot.

For a one-star team like the Magic, as long as they feel good, there is no team that cannot win.

Turkoglu was 16 of 9, Rashard Lewis was 12 of 8, and Jameer Nelson was 15 of 9. In addition, Howard, who made waves in the interior without O'Neal, grabbed 20 rebounds. . .

In this match, Li Ran's rare breakthrough failed.

After all, the happy beast on the opposite side is now at its peak, and all three blocks in the game were given to Li Ran.

His touch is not good either, scoring only 18 points in the game.

Billups was even worse, 10 points.

Although JR recovered and scored a team-high 26 points, except for the three of them, the Nuggets, known for their offensive points, have no players who scored in double figures.

The Nuggets lost 18 points to the Magic on the road, ending their 20-game winning streak.

However, after losing this game, the whole Nuggets team did not have any depressed atmosphere. The pressure of playing with a winning streak was too great. Even the grumpy George Karl only comforted the players after the game.

After returning from Orlando, with only one day off, the Nuggets went to Texas again to challenge Mosaic, one of the top three in Texas.

O'Neal still couldn't play, and Yao Ming beat them again.

The Eastern Giants played 39 minutes and scored 35 points and 16 rebounds. In the end, they scored a game-winning goal to help the team narrowly beat the Nuggets by two points.

George Karl frowned as he watched Yao Ming unscrupulously ravage the Brazilian center and Anderson inside.

The plan to strengthen the team's interior will be accelerated.
