Chinese magic

Chapter 175
This season is Ouyang's second season in the NBA, and he can also average 20+7 per game.If you look at the data alone, you may think that this is an inside player. After all, the average of nearly 7 rebounds per game is not the normal data that a guard should have.

Ouyang is such a weird All-Star who stands as a guard but hits the statistics of a center!It is also under the leadership of him and Ellis that the Golden State Warriors have a winning rate of more than 50% so far, and their record is already seventh in the Western Conference.

The regular season of the 2008-2009 season will be over in about a month, and whether they can enter the playoffs will depend on their performance in the remaining 16 games.

The current strength of the Warriors makes people feel unpredictable. They can play giant killers and become a stumbling block to those strong teams, and they can also lose to weak teams in shame. So even if the Warriors have an easy schedule and their opponents are not strong, they can fight. It's really hard to say what it will be like.

Today is the last game in March, and Ouyang, who was selected as the best of the week with James in the East, is warming up!They are going to face the visiting Nets. This is the first time the two teams have met this season. The last time was the one where Ouyang Ben was suspended!It is precisely because of the suspension that Ouyang also missed the opportunity to play against the UAE.

A few days was their last match of the season, and Ouyang looked very serious, just like meeting Dayao for the first time!Although the status of the UAE is not as high as that of Yao, it is a very exciting feeling to see a compatriot with the same skin in this league where there are many international friends.

"Brother Lian, we meet again!" This was one of the few times Ouyang greeted people on the field, unless it was talking trash.

"Ouyang, you played very well! I will do my best in a while!" Ah Lian's voice was very soft, and he spoke with a hometown accent.

"Then let's work hard!"

"come on"

The conversation between the two seemed very brief. In fact, neither of them was a person who took the initiative to talk and knew how to talk, so after a simple greeting, the two separated with high fives.

On the last day at the end of March, there were two games at the same time, and it was very interesting that four Chinese were playing derby!Here is the Golden State Warriors, and the Los Angeles Lakers challenge the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center in Texas has begun.

Ouyang vs. Ah Lian, Sun Yue vs. Dayao, the four Chinese players in the NBA started their confrontation on the same day.Over there, Sun Yue played to defend McGrady in the first quarter, and of course it was only a limitation of his best efforts.

The game in Houston started half an hour early, and the jump ball was just getting under way when they came off the bench in the second quarter.

Turiaf's jump ball has never won, at least this season.The starting lineup of the Nets is very average. Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons play the inside line. If they still have a big name, it is Devin Harris, who was selected as an All-Star this year.

The Blue Nets used to be brilliant, and they also reached the finals under the leadership of Jason Kidd, but now their situation is like a skyscraper that is collapsing a little bit.It's not obvious at first, but over time you suddenly realize that the Nets aren't the Nets anymore.

Last season, the Nets, who made it to the Finals twice, missed the playoffs for the first time since 2001, and they already lost cornerstones Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson.The original Nets troika has now all disappeared from the sight of Nets fans.

Although they struggled desperately in the first half of the season to keep their place in the playoffs, as the team suffered injury problems afterwards, they were getting farther and farther away from the playoffs.

In fact, the strong performance of the Nets at the beginning of the season came from the outstanding performance of two players-Devin Harris and Brook Lopez. At the beginning, the Nets management dug Harris from the Mavericks only because they lost their base on the back line. In the future, there will be no defenders that can be used in Germany, and Harris will only come to meet the urgent need.

Perhaps the Nets management themselves did not expect this young point guard to usher in a breakout season.He's good at making free throws, getting to the line about nine times a game, and he made the All-Star Game as the Nets' leading scorer.This is why they are still hovering on the edge of the playoffs.

Ah Lian is an excellent athletic insider. He is very uncomfortable with the high-intensity confrontation in the NBA. Ouyang feels that if he is in the Golden State Warriors, Ah Lian will definitely be able to give full play to his advantages in shooting accuracy, speed and footwork, but because he is behind him The Nets management doesn't know when they will let people go.

This season, the Nets' front line has always been the team's sore spot. Due to the lack of front line, the Nets have only won 27 games so far this season.People may be thinking: If the Nets hadn't traded Jefferson to the Bucks, what would have happened?

The Nets had to put their three best players on the shelf in order not to make their team lose money.According to reports, the Nets lost 2500 million US dollars last season. They have gradually reduced their expenses in all aspects. The only thing that has not been reduced is the salary of the players.So this season they already seem a little impatient to give away the big names in their hands.

Without a big name, the team's record will naturally not improve, but these factors will determine the fate of head coach Lawrence Frank, because the general manager of the team, Rod Thorne, is not satisfied with his performance, but Frank's contract expires The 2010-2011 season is guaranteed, and the Nets certainly don't want to replace him and pay two people at the same time.

The originally luxurious lineup was disintegrated for the sake of money, but the fans would not be willing to spend money to buy tickets if the record did not improve, so the general manager Thorne has always considered the team's management issues.

After playing around with the team, the team lost its combat effectiveness.So the general manager felt that there were many personal problems in the team that he needed to explore, starting with the defensive end.In fact, before last season, the Nets under the command of Frank, the defense has been doing well.

The Nets did a good job of defending the opponent's two-pointers. They contracted the defense and controlled the opponent's field goal percentage to around the league average of 48.5%.But it is because of this that the Nets made the players hit a lot of three-pointers.

On offense, thanks to the presence of a super guard like Kidd last season, the Nets can rank above the league average in offensive efficiency, even if their field goal percentage is only 24th.But the team is losing money and its record is declining. Thorne needs a scapegoat.

In fact, during the offseason, the Nets also proposed to get Ouyang, so that it would be easier to make money with the combination with China Yi, but Wang Qin rejected it.

Due to economic constraints, the Nets not only drastically reduced assistant coaches and scouts, but also threw away the only big contract in the team.Although their cap space is abundant now, they can further reduce expenses through other transactions.

It can be said that they have hardly completed any major transactions, and they chose to keep Javi Hayes, because he will only be paid $200 million in the new season.

As a rookie, Terrence Williams deserves attention.He was so good in his four years at the University of Louisville, and with the Nets' lack of quality on the front line, Williams is likely to get the ball in his rookie season like Lopez did last year.
team reuse.

It is worth mentioning that Marcus Williams, who had been at odds with Ouyang in the Warriors from the very beginning, was a deal completed between the Warriors and the Nets.The price the Warriors paid was only two or two second-round picks.So Williams needs to stay with Warriors until 2012

So Nelson told Ouyang and the others during the team training camp the night before the game that today's game is open because the Nets don't have any outstanding strengths.

Of course, Ouyang also knows the old saying that there are no underdogs in the NBA.For the Nets, Nelson told them that they can play with confidence, but he also mentioned that this team is the only advantage, and that is the depth of his bench.

Because the team does not have any outstanding big names, they have hoarded a lot of players with similar technical characteristics, which means that their substitutes are actually not much weaker than the main players.

On the bench is Alston, the streetball king who was traded from the Rockets after the All-Star Game.Alston's defense and ball handling can make up for his convulsive shooting.There is another Dooling that should not be ignored, he can play both positions in the backcourt at the same time
Every team has its own characteristics, this is a sentence that Ouyang has always kept in mind!Of course, the Nets are only slightly unique, after all, their striker problem is really serious.

Of course, the UAE, which has become stronger this season, may bring unexpected surprises to the team.This is the team that the Nets have always been brilliant, and it is also the team that the UAE now represents.

The game begins!The Arab League helped the Nets get the first offensive right. After Harris was selected as an All-Star, his firepower became more and more fierce. Holding the ball, he rushed to the Warriors' half court, and the Warriors' defense was similar to that of the Nets. , Harris scored a very easy basket.

The defenses on both sides don't matter who they are. Just now Harris used his speed to hit one of the Warriors' side, but Ellis here also directly dribbled the ball and made a half-stop!
"The two are fighting?"

This is what many fans think, of course they also like this kind of game that highlights individual heroism!So the fans in Oakland immediately cheered Ellis and yelled "Blow him up!"

Ellis' offense is good, but Harris is a player who can score 20+ points per game this season. Although it has something to do with his right to fire freely, he was selected as an All-Star after all, and he dared to challenge Ellis on the field. Fossen guy.

So under the voice of the fans, the battle between the two completely escalated, and they directly took over all the offensive rights of the team!And while beating, the mouth is still chattering.

This is how the entire first half was spent. The two didn't rest for a minute, and both used more than half of their team's shots.

The two guys who seemed to have revenge for killing their father felt that they were playing well by the end of the first half and hit a lot of balls!But looking up at the integrator, it was a 45:45 tie, and no one took advantage.But the Warriors still have a super sophomore who didn't play, and what about the Nets?
