hall of fame small forward

Chapter 79
Of course, the Rockets have won consecutive games in recent games. Although it has something to do with the addition of Totoro, it still relies more on the performance of old players and a little bit of luck.

The little giant in 09 is the kind of person who can take advantage of the center no matter which team he meets, even if some teams use Hall of Fame-level power forwards to defend the little giant, such as Garnett, Duncan, Gaso Like me, Yao Ming can also do not suffer, which is very important.

Zach Randolph, who came to Houston, didn't know whether he left the nightclub in New York or was influenced by Yao Ming's red revolutionary ideology. Change, Rotten Tofu now has a little shadow of the fearsome black bear in the later generations. Although he is not an opponent of the All-Star insider, at least he will not suffer when he meets him. But it's about to explode.

Finally, there is a substitute lineup that performs no worse than the main force. If the main force can't beat them, they can fill in the holes. If the main force can beat them, they can continue to widen the point difference.

With such a strong configuration to rely on, the pressure on the rookie Totoro will naturally be much less. If Rose or Durant replaces Totoro, these two potential superstars will not do worse than Totoro.

The Rockets can maintain a stable winning percentage against weak teams. They can achieve 64 points against ordinary teams. They can fight against stronger teams, but they are still at a disadvantage against top teams.

Yao Ming was restricted by Gasol, Bynum and Randolph exploded each other, Totoro's role dropped sharply under the team restrictions, but Kobe still killed all directions under Battier's close defense.

If it wasn't for Brooks' rare feat, throwing two consecutive three-pointers on the head of the old fish whose movement speed is appalling, the Rockets may be behind by double digits in the first quarter.
At 21:28, the Rockets were rarely restricted on the offensive end. Totoro had 7 points and 3 rebounds, Yao Ming had 4 points and 4 rebounds, Brooks had 6 points, Randolph had 2 points, Artest had 2 points, and David Lee had 1 point .

For the Lakers, due to Gasol's exchange with the little giant, they only got a dismal 3 points and 4 rebounds, Bynum 4 points, Ariza 3 points, Fisher 2 points, but Kobe is amazing, He scored 13 points in the first quarter and broke the Rockets' defense by himself.

In the second half, Adelman asked the main players to rest off the court, and prepared to use the Rockets' slightly advantaged substitute lineup to chase points, but Zen Master seemed to have expected this, and did not let Peter Pan rest at the beginning of the second quarter. Directly let him and Odom form a half-main half-substitute mixed lineup against the Rockets' pure substitute lineup, the old coach's face suddenly turned black.

However, Adelman did not immediately call for a timeout to adjust the lineup. The Rockets' bench lineup is not a real bench lineup, but more like two similar lineups using each other. Today, through McGrady's deal and Scola and Landry In the transaction between the Rockets, the Rockets traded a group of unknown powerful players and potential rookies, and also traded New York's first-round pick in 09 and the Grizzlies' first-round pick, plus two of their own. For the draft pick, Houston can select a total of 09 players in 4. It can be said that it not only strengthens the present, but also invests in the future
Ashuai made a gesture on the sidelines, and Artest and Lowry immediately adjusted the defensive players to switch to Kobe.

The Beast never thought he was worse than Kobe, so in the first round Artest greeted him with all his teeth and claws, trying to block Kobe with his body.

"Hey, I heard that outsiders call you the Black Mamba, but it is absolutely impossible for you to bite me, and you can never score on my head."

The boss laughed directly when he heard the words. He originally wanted to play the ball for Odom and let Lama play Lowry in singles to find confidence, but seeing Artest talk trash to himself, Kobe immediately changed his decision. .

"Hey man who are you? You know I'm never in the habit of talking to nobody."

"I'm an unknown character, are you kidding me?"

"Aren't you an unknown junior? Aren't you a substitute?"

The words of the volute directly left Artest speechless. What he said was not rubbish but the truth. The Rockets are the only ones who can get the boss's eyes. The rookie Totoro is half of them. Kobe usually doesn't pay much attention
The angry Artest increased his body movements, but it didn't work for the volute at all. For players with outstanding ball skills like Kobe, his brutal defensive skills can only make it easier for him Just score.

The boss held the ball with his back and turned his back spiritually after seeing Artest stepping forward, and the beast lost its position in an instant.

Kobe, who entered the inside line, waited for Artest, who was chasing behind him, and then deliberately used a body contact with the opponent to get the ball into the basket from the other side, and played a 2+1 skillfully.

"Why, do you still feel that you are not a small role?"

After scoring the goal, Peter Pan gave the beast a cold look and spoke trash, which directly ignited Artest's fiery temper.

"Hey, what did you bastard say?"

Beast went up and pushed Kobe cursingly, but Kobe raised his hands, turned his head and walked to the side without paying attention.

"Boy, don't go!"

Seeing the opponent's expression of indifference to him, Artest naturally wanted to continue to catch up with the theory, but David Lee, Gasol Jr. and the three referees on the field stopped the beast.

"beep!"

A whistle sounded. In addition to the shooting foul on Kobe just now, the referee Javey added another first-degree malicious foul on Artest. If Artest was just cursing at the beginning, the referee would not have given such a heavy penalty, but he It's a bit too much if you want to chase after them all backing away. Do you really think that these referees don't exist?

Adelman directly angrily replaced Artest with Novak, who had been abandoned by the team. This round, the beast did not play any role, and let the opponent make three free throws. With the 2 points already scored and the possession of the ball, they almost lost to grandma's house. If Volute hits a three-pointer after making all three free throws, it will directly score 8 points in two offensive rounds. just a little too much
