I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 241 Still Strong
While the Nuggets played against the Phoenix Suns, the Houston Rockets rounded out their 17th regular-season game with an away win against the Los Angeles Clippers led by Kobe Bryant.

Although this is not a game against the Lakers, there are still many Lakers fans who came to the scene. These people held signs and booed Kobe. The torn Kobe No. 8 jersey was exposed in an attempt to influence Kobe's game.

But their behavior inspired Kobe's fighting spirit instead. After a stormy offensive wave, the Clippers players felt that they had suffered an indiscriminate disaster. It was obviously the Lakers fans and Kobe's business. Why did they suffer in the end? It is us, you are enough!
After clocking out after three quarters, Kobe told all the fans present with his strength that Kobe is a well-deserved superstar, and he can do better without O'Neal.

At the end of the game, 103 to 90, the Rockets easily defeated the Clippers who were beaten to the point of no fighting intention. Kobe played 32 minutes and scored 42 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in three quarters!The very comprehensive play has once again confirmed the correct choice of President Su, and Kobe is the core choice that does his part.

Since the Houston Rockets ushered in Kobe Bryant, their record has gradually improved. In this month, they have achieved a record of 10 wins and 7 losses, with a winning percentage of 58.8%, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. 7 losses, to 3 wins and 4 losses in the last 10 games, this is a process of progress.

All Rockets players believe that their team will get better and better. There are many young players among them, and the team has experienced a big change. Last year's championship lineup was dismantled. It will take some time to get used to it. .

In these games that have ended, Kobe is the best player. Although he is the unique core leader of the Rockets, he does not hold all the ball in his own hands. Except for individual games, he prefers to play with his teammates. Cooperate.

This can be seen from his statistics. Although he also averaged 31.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.9 assists and 2 steals per game, and only 3.8 turnovers per game, these turnovers were nearly 10 times per game. The assists are not high, not to mention that the tacit understanding among the teammates is not enough. After the tacit understanding gradually improves in the future, it will become less and less. Presumably, after their running-in is over, it will give other teams an eye-catching shock. .

Although Dayao did not play the expected dominance at the beginning of the season, but with the help of Olajuwon and Ewing, he has made rapid progress. Being questioned, it only took 15 games to become a qualified starter.

With the help of Billups, Dayao's offense is easier and less labor-intensive. Artest can help Dayao defend some opponents who were missed because of his slow turn. His progress is faster than in previous lives. Barker in this life Li would not bet against Dayao to kiss his ass, because he had been taught by Su Yi how good Yao was, and after being tricked too many times, Barkley had already believed in Su Yi's judgment, so he did not He hesitated and chose to support Dayao.

Dayao also lived up to his love. He played at his own level in only 15 games. He averaged 26 minutes of playing time per game, and he could get 10.2 points and 8 rebounds.

This is just the beginning, and he will improve in the future. He is only 132 kg now. At D'Antoni's request, he needs to increase his weight to 140 kg. This is not an ordinary fat gain. D'Antoni's request is to increase muscle mass , It is a long process to reduce the body fat rate from 10% to 8%, and it may take several months, but presumably under the guidance of a dedicated physical trainer and nutritionist, his physical fitness will have a certain improvement. quality improvement.

After getting rid of the big enemy of the Phoenix Suns, the Nuggets' small-ball tactics slowly got on the right track, and their tacit cooperation gradually improved. This requires games and more training to hone their skills.

After this game, the Nuggets went through two more games. The first game was against the New York Knicks. After letting go of Ewing, he really turned into a belly. Not everyone can climb out of the big hole of the Knicks, at least their current leaders Alan Houston and Sprewell can't.

108 to 88, the Nuggets won without bloodshed, and it only took more than half of the time to establish the outcome of the game. Marion was the player who played the best. He played 31 minutes, shot 15 times and hit 7 goals, including three-pointers. 8 of 5, scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 3 turnovers. In this game, Marion strengthened his offense with the ball. Since his passing is not excellent, he is more likely to be spotted by opponents The passing route, so compared to his 4 assists, he has 3 turnovers.

But this flaw has no effect on the victory. Coach D'Antoni is even very satisfied with what Marion is doing now. He also hopes that Marion can strengthen the accuracy of breaking through the ball, so that his team will improve a lot. .

Stoudemire's performance is also very good. As a first-round rookie this year, he is under great pressure. The Nuggets fans have high hopes for him. The team targeted defense. In this situation, he struggled very much, but as a very talented player, he did not give up just because he was targeted. He was training his mid-range shooting all the time. From inside to the outside of the penalty area, he has to practice an extra [-] shots every day, and now there are some effects.

He played 35 minutes in this game. Without deliberately attacking the basket, he made a total of 11 shots and hit 6 of them. Although his shots were not as good as Marion, he also scored 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. With 1 steal and 2 blocks, the Knicks' weak and old insiders really couldn't resist his indiscriminate bombing.

The Nuggets also have another player who performed very well. This person is not Su Yi. James Posey, a good brother brought by Su Yi from the Rockets, finally had a good chance to perform well. He scored in this game. In the guard position, he played 35 minutes and contributed 20 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His three-pointers also performed well today, and 5 of 2 shots were still within the qualifying line.

Due to the ease of the game, Su Yi deliberately reduced the possession of the ball in this game. He handed over the possession of the ball to Marion and Posey, which also gave them a high degree of enthusiasm. The result was also very gratifying. The Nuggets The team beat the opponent.

Because Su Yi had fewer opportunities to hold the ball, he only scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, but this did not affect his good mood. As long as he can win, as long as he can help his teammates, it doesn't matter. He urgently needs With the help of his teammates, after all, the previous consecutive losses made him feel very uncomfortable, and it also made him feel bad. Finally, everything is better now, and he, Su Yi, is still the unstoppable finalist MVP is still extremely strong.
