hall of fame small forward

Chapter 307
In the game where the Rockets won 33 consecutive victories, they played against the Spurs, the second most popular team in the league. Originally, the second place in the Western Conference should belong to the Lakers with a more luxurious lineup. The mistake I made was that there were five people on the team who needed the ball, Kobe and Bynum needed the ball to attack, Gasol and Davis needed the basketball to organize, but there was only one ball, and finally the Lakers are now gradually Divided into two factions, no one in the team accepts the other. The ending of both losers not only caused the data of the four of them to decline seriously, but also deeply hurt the team's record. If you want to say which team is the most disappointing this year , I am afraid that the Magic in the East can compete with the Lakers for this title.

The start was fierce, Xia Tian spent a lot of money, paid a very high luxury tax to form a team lineup, locked up the salary space to prepare for the last wave, but after the opening wave of winning streaks, their respective problems were exposed, and then plummeted. The so-called higher expectations The greater the disappointment, now the Lakers fans are not only disappointed with the home team, but they are always arrogant, and they are picked up by other fans from time to time. The biggest characteristic of Lakers fans is that they shout loudly before the start of the game The Lakers championship, who are other fans not messing with them?

Compared with the bluffing and flashy, the Holy City is still firmly old and strong. The older the stone Buddha is, the more stable it is. The frustrated star power forward who has begun to decline has unexpectedly rejuvenated his second spring. The data of 19.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game has brought him back to the top of the league's first-line power forward. Jamison's case shows us I personally demonstrated what is called "moving the dead and moving the tree". A good coach and a good system are really important. Popovich coached the Spurs for four championships in 14 years, except in 96. Outside the game, the Spurs have been regular visitors to the playoffs almost every year for the next 13 years, and they have never lost a first-round series, and their regular season record has never dropped below 50 wins. This record is beyond the reach of other teams. No matter what kind of player, no matter how cancerous or old they are in other teams, they seem to be able to start a new life after they switch to Zhugeweiqi's team. This is also an incredible phenomenon.

If you only talk about this season, the Rockets are undoubtedly the strongest team in the league. In terms of comparison, the Rockets are equivalent to the upstarts who have suddenly risen in the past two years, while the Spurs are a low-key nobleman with accumulated historical background. The myth of the Spurs cannot be broken by the Rockets in the past two years, unless the Rockets can come to three Consecutive championships create a dynasty, otherwise, when most people talk about Texas basketball, they generally refer to the Spurs.

However, even though the Spurs have achieved a luxurious record of 33 wins and 28 losses in the first 5 games, they still don't have much to do with the Rockets. These old men could suppress the Rockets in the playoffs last year, but with their age this year. One year older, and the Rockets' young players are one year older, the gap in strength between the two sides is even more obvious. The Spurs may be able to rely on their own experience to win against other ordinary teams, but this set It doesn't work against the Rockets at all. They just use their youth and talent to destroy you head-on. They didn't discuss with you at all during the process. After two quarters, those who didn't even discuss will win you by 20 points. The Spurs collective members also There was only a whimper and a sigh.

It’s just that after the 33-game winning streak, the progress of the Rockets came to an abrupt end. In the 34th game, they faced the underdogs in the Western Conference, but the league’s deputy squad leader lost the game with a score of 87:104 in the away game, which shattered the field. Expert glasses.

Since the Rockets defeated the Spurs, those experts agreed that the Rockets will increase their winning streak to about 37 games, because the Rockets will not encounter back-to-back games in the following games, and secondly, there will be no playoffs without one of the top 8 in the East and West. The team, experts believe that the probability of the Rockets capsized is extremely small. According to the performance of the Rockets since the beginning of the season, some experts even began to discuss the possibility of the Rockets winning all 82 regular season games this season. Yes, but who knew that Rocket would hit him in the face so badly?Just now they won the second place in the Western Conference without bloodshed to create a historical record, and then they can simply lose to the penultimate second in the Western Conference. Is there any team in this world that can play like this?Are you shameless?

However, the Rockets' loss was unexpected, but it is also reasonable. The Rockets are not gods. Other teams want them to lose, so the Rockets need to devote more attention to each game than other teams. Coupled with the pressure of breaking records, the entire Rockets are actually surrounded by a team. The invisible mountain was suppressed.

When traveling a hundred miles and a half to ninety, the last moment is always the most difficult, especially after they have walked a hundred miles, they will relax instantly when they have achieved their goal, and the string in their heads will be broken in an instant , In the game against the Clippers, the Big Three of the Rockets played a total of 65 minutes, but contributed 46 irons together. The number of digits, he didn't let himself score in double figures consecutively, but Griffin, the No. 18 pick of the Clippers who was not reimbursed, was domineering. For the first time, Totoro became the background board of the five best balls.

In normal times, Totoro would definitely try his best to seek revenge from Griffin and let him know what a stupid thing he had done, but the current Totoro seems to be unable to muster such energy anymore. If you deduct one, you can deduct one. If you can make the game go to waste earlier so that you can go down and rest, even if the opponent wants to deduct ten, it is not impossible to discuss.
