hall of fame small forward

Chapter 282 You will always have to pay back

However, the Trail Blazers still lost the game in the end. Although they had a great time playing against the Rockets, the group of fledgling youths did not realize that although everyone played fast breaks, the rhythm of the fast breaks was always with the Rockets. There were only 6 turnovers in the whole game, but the Blazers made 20 turnovers in the whole game. The Blazers gradually found that the point difference between themselves and the Rockets was getting bigger and bigger. When they wanted to recover However, he found that the rhythm could not be regained, so he could only accept the defeat in this kind of refreshment.

Many NBA teams want to win, they try to bring the game into the rhythm of their own team, which will make them play more comfortably, but this is not the case for a team like the Rockets. They don't have a clear rhythm this season, but they can win no matter what rhythm the team enters, which is a bit explosive.

The current Rockets can win against opponents on offense, and can also win by defending alone. They can bombard others quickly, and take positions with others slowly. They are pick-and-roll tactics, triangle offense, Princeton system, and small ball tactics. The Rockets seem to make opponents see no weakness except at the power forward position, and their two power forwards this year are both rookies with good potential and enthusiasm. If they can grow up after the baptism of the season, then this rocket will undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

In this game, Totoro scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. Paul scored 23 points and 15 assists. The other players basically scored in double figures. The Rockets once again won the game with a multi-person team basketball. victory.

On November 11, the Rockets went to Golden State to challenge the Warriors away, and after sending away the first bearded Baron Davis, the Warriors have made it clear that Alice, who has performed well in the past two seasons, will be the core of the team's team building. , but Totoro knows that Alice has been at her peak in the past few years. Since Curry and Thompson squeezed Alice out after playing, this sudden and good point guard can no longer find his current star feeling , Displaced in various teams, sometimes even the rotation lineup can't be squeezed in.

But those are things for the future. Now Alice can still firmly suppress Curry, who is still a rookie. The Black Eight Miracle successfully pulled down the league's number one Mavericks, but this group of Golden State gangsters really lost a lot of things after losing their beards. The added Maggette did not have Baron David With the gangster spirit in Adams, the Warriors have been in the lottery for many years since the Black Eight, and it is undoubtedly too difficult for them to defeat the Rockets with these existing people.

As soon as the game started, Totoro received a wonderful pass from Paul and played a difficult cross step + step back in front of Marshal Ma, and was directly swayed by Corey Maggette, who only relied on fouls to maintain his 20+ points. On the ground, he relaxed his ape arm and scored two points to give the Warriors a blow.

And what's even more terrible is that this is obviously the Oracle Arena of the Warriors, but after Totoro made this beautiful offense, these Golden State fans not only did not help them boo Totoro, but 1/3 of the fans cheered. Applause for Totoro, this kind of thing that gets cheers from fans in an away game is really rare in the NBA, except for a man named Kobe Bryant, but the volute is also relying on decades of hard work And his picturesque offensive skills have established a huge fan base all over the world. Although Totoro is in a hot state now, to be honest, he can’t reach the popularity of Peter Pan. The rebellion of Golden State fans has nothing to do with him, but It's because they are tired of their home team's endless losses, and they are deliberately demonstrating there now.
It's just that the Warriors didn't surrender. Although the Rockets are the number one defending champion, the Warriors also played well. Curry, who just completed his debut, performed impressively in the first quarter today. The quick three-pointer succeeded in stealing chickens in front of the unsuspecting Paul. In the first quarter, he scored 5 points on 4 of 12 three-pointers. You must know that Meng Shen only scored 17 points in a game the day before yesterday.

Paul couldn't help but look at the baby-faced player he was facing. In all fairness, the queen bee didn't take Curry seriously at first. He is the number one point guard in the league. A rookie who emerges, a superstar also has the dignity of a superstar. If he goes all out against Curry, even if he teaches the opponent a lesson, he will be gossiped by others after the game.

But this little guy is really good enough. Since he missed the first three-pointer, the next two three-pointers were all with the help of a screen to get rid of himself and then shot quickly, and Curry seemed to be happy. The fourth three-pointer The point actually didn't call the pick-and-roll, but he bukkake in front of himself, and it really went in!Paul immediately felt hot on his face. He was going to be blown up by an unknown point guard in the first quarter?
Coupled with Alice's superb mid-range, the Warriors not only did not lose to the Rockets in momentum in the first quarter, but even slightly led by 3 points in the score. The Warriors and the Rockets actually had a slight advantage in the first quarter. Entering the second quarter with a slight advantage of 34 to 31.

But soon, the queen bee, who decided to get serious, let Curry know what the gap between the NBA and the NCAA is. He hardly called a cover on the offensive end. He often used a violent crossover to pass the elementary school students after halftime. Then he attacked the basket. Today, Chris Paul played nothing like his traditional guard style. He was even more volute than Kobe. 13 committed the game, this gap in absolute strength made Curry take off his braces and shook his head depressed.

It's not that he can't keep up with Paul's speed, nor can he see through Paul's change of direction, but the physical fitness of the two is too far apart. Although Curry, who is 1 meters tall, is nearly half a head taller than Paul, but He just can't guard against the queen bee who hasn't removed half of the meniscus. Often, as long as Chris Paul takes half a step ahead, he will be completely squeezed behind by the opponent's strong body, and Paul has a lot of small movements but It wasn't so obvious. Curry only felt that his back and chest were bruised and purple after the game, but the referee didn't call the foul but instead sentenced him to several fouls, which made the elementary school student feel helpless.

It was obvious that the opponent pushed him secretly first, and Curry was sure that the referee saw it, but the referee didn't blow the whistle, and obviously he didn't use much strength on the offensive end, but the queen bee was in the end, and the referee blew himself a belt The ball hit someone. Fortunately, this is still the home court of the Warriors. Mengshen really doubts whether the three referees were unilaterally bought by the queen bee, so they made such an unfair penalty.

However, the fact is that no matter how depressed Curry is, it is useless. Totoro also fell into a foul crisis at the beginning of the regular season last year. After all, the NCAA and the NBA are two levels of leagues. Some small moves will be blown in college leagues. , But in the eyes of NBA referees, it is a normal confrontation. The two different penalty scales require rookies to adapt quickly. In addition, sometimes stars do have their own unique star whistle. The income of the referee is adjusted according to the income of the entire NBA league, while the income of the NBA league depends on those stars to determine the level. Treat every player fairly and fairly. Who doesn't want to have more money in their pockets every day?
The Warriors' slight lead disappeared in an instant. Head coach Don Neal had called a timeout before that, but he still couldn't effectively restrain the fiery Paul. Seeing that the game was going to take a while, Neal had no choice but to waste another timeout. Specially formulated a tactic of double-teaming the queen bee with the ball and the other three blocking his passing route, but on the other side, Adelman seemed to have the ability to predict the future. After this timeout, he actually replaced Paul, who was in hot form, to rest , and changed hands to replace Totoro, the Warriors players on the field suddenly became dazed.

Can a tactic that effectively limits Paul work against the Totoro?The answer is obvious. Totoro and Paul are not the same type of players at all. The queen bee is small but nimble, and a solid technical player, while Totoro is tall and fast, and is a serious player. An experienced physical player, although Paul has occasional scoring bursts, he is still a traditional point guard who puts the team first. Although Totoro makes a few subtle passes from time to time, he The essence is still a Hall of Fame small forward who kills opponents with his own scoring.

Corey Maggette, an all-star player, is obviously not the opponent of Totoro. After being shot twice by Totoro, he was dunked twice by Totoro after breaking through the penalty area. Donnell no longer wants to bark in 5 minutes. The third one paused. He stood on the sidelines and signaled with his eyes to the Warriors players to double-team the Totoro, but the effect of their double-teaming was not satisfactory.

Meeting two people is no different for Totoro from one person. The advantages of height and speed allow him to face any double-team. As long as he is not in the dead corner, he can still double-team the short guard If he chooses a jump shot, he can pass two of them one by one when he encounters a tall center double-teaming. When the Warriors send three people up, the cunning Totoro will hide in the corner by himself and signal his teammates to pull away. A large-scale transfer of the ball led to a partial 4-on-2 situation. Anyway, no matter how the Warriors double-teamed the Totoro, they would have a way to get the data. Donnell and the Warriors are also convinced of this point.

Totoro is undoubtedly a more incomprehensible player than Paul. The Spurs, Lakers and Magic have already proved it with their own failures in last year's playoffs. You must not use double-team tactics against players like Totoro, except to pray that he will Apart from the cold night, Jordan's rule is the most effective method for Totoro. No matter how awesome Totoro is, I will resolutely use a defensive blue-collar player to consume Totoro, while the other four Keep an eye on his teammates and let him score alone. This will not only consume Totoro’s stamina but also cut off the connection between him and other teammates. If he is in a state of explosive state and can kill five of himself alone, he can only be considered amazing. , But once his state declines for a certain period of time, other teams will have a chance to beat the Rockets.

But that kind of situation is only limited to the premise that only Totoro was a reliable starting point for holding the ball last year. Today, the Rockets have added a queen bee who is also threatening. This tactic obviously doesn’t work when the two are on the court at the same time. As for how to defeat the current Rockets, the coaches of the other 28 teams in the league have not yet had a good solution. Before this game, only the Lakers defeated the Rockets once in the preseason, but the Lakers have The five "giants" composed of Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Kobe and Baron Davis, they won the Rockets by relying on the absolute excellence of their stars, without any technical content in it, other coaches Tell the manager that they can't learn this way.

At the end of halftime, the Warriors fell behind the Rockets by 23 points. I am afraid that friends who just turned on the TV can hardly imagine that the Warriors can still lead the Rockets by 3 points at the end of the first quarter. The Rockets blasted a wave of 42 to 16 in a single quarter. super attack wave.

The Warriors still did not give up in the third quarter. It is not unreasonable for this Warriors to become the Cosmic Warriors through the draft in the next few years. Although the abilities of players such as Curry, Thompson, and Green are equally important, the traditional temperament of a team is also indispensable. As a part of it, the Warriors have acquired a temperament of not admitting defeat no matter how they fight since the Black Eight.

Captain Jackson and Vladimir Radmanovich became the surprise soldiers of the Warriors in this quarter. They seized the slack state after the Rockets took a big lead. One rushed to the inside to cause damage, and the other kept Unexpectedly, the two teamed up and led the Warriors to play a wave of 35 to 25 attacks in the third quarter, shrinking the point difference back to 13 points. In the third quarter, Jackson There was also Yan Kou in front of Totoro after a breakthrough. Totoro, who was somewhat careless, did not expect that the Warriors still had the will to fight in this situation. When he found Jackson rushing over, he had no time to take off and block the shot. Although he was witty enough to hold his body in time and get out of the way, but from the side angle, the chinchilla was still being ridden by Jackson
Now it's Totoro's turn to feel the heat on his face. Ever since his debut, he has always been the only one who has the blood cap in front of others. I didn't expect that I was humiliated by a star who is about to expire today. , so he can bear it?
