Josh Smith is in a difficult situation, and he has to choose between the Rockets and the 76ers as his next home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Rockets, one of the giants in the West, this season is their second season with Howard, the Rockets continue to improve, and are currently in the top four in the West in terms of record, along with the Warriors, Spurs, and Clippers.

The 76ers, the league's premier powerhouse, the defending champion, Anxi has made great progress again this season and began to dominate the league, many people exclaimed that Anxi is the contemporary Michael Jordan, obviously, the 76ers with Anxi are the biggest favorites for the championship in the league today, and joining the 76ers means that you are not far from the championship.

Just looking at this, it seems that Josh Smith should not hesitate any longer, although the Rockets' record is not much worse than that of the 76ers, but in terms of the pure strength of the team, the two teams are not a level team at all.

The 76ers are obviously stronger, if the 76ers are a championship-level team, then the Rockets can only be regarded as a first-line team in the league, and so far, they have not shown the temperament of a championship.

So, just looking at the strength of the team, Josh Smith should choose the 76ers.

But the Rockets have a Dwight Howard, Dwight Howard is Josh Smith's youngster, and when Josh Smith got married, Dwight Howard was even his best man, and the relationship between the two naturally goes without saying.

The Rockets are still some way from becoming a championship-caliber team, and if they want to achieve this distance, they will naturally need to bring in reinforcements.

Former Hawk King Josh Smith is obviously the strong reinforcement that the Rockets dream of, and some Rocket fans even imagined: if Josh Smith joins and finds his peak form, then the Rockets will form an interior no-fly zone composed of Josh Smith and Dwight Howard, and the two physical strongmen will disrupt the interior offense and defense of all teams, and the Rockets will rise to a championship-level team.

But all this is clearly a pipe dream.

Soon, the 76ers made an offer for Josh Smith, and now the biggest advantage of the 76ers is that they still have a huge salary space and can give a contract that is not small.

Therefore, when the 76ers directly offered a mid-class contract of 5 million a year, Josh Smith was slightly biased towards the 76ers, and no one would be unable to get along with the money.

The Rockets obviously couldn't open such a contract, they played the emotional card, and let Dwight Howard make a phone call to Josh Smith to catch up on the old days, and Dwight Howard even asked Josh Smith directly at the end of the call: "Josh, come and help me, we are good friends, we should create our era together!"

The outcome of the call was unclear to many people, except for some rough rumors, which were written in the newspaper by NBA reporters in Houston.

Sam Singki is worried that Josh Smith will choose the Rockets, and he feels that signing Josh Smith will definitely strengthen the team, especially the team's current weak interior line, which will definitely be a great reinforcement.

After thinking about it, Samsinki asked Anxi to call Josh Smith.

Player recruitment, this is the first time Anxi has participated in such a thing, he feels very fresh, and remembers an interesting story about player recruitment in the league, about LeBron James.

It is said that during LeBron James's time with the Heat, when he formed the Big Three, he was full of ambition, and when he needed role players to defect to him, he sent a message to a good veteran who called himself "Theking" (Emperor), which made the veteran cry and laugh.

Obviously, LeBron James put himself in a high position, and he seems to be looking down on the players he recruited, so the veteran did not choose to join the Heat because of LeBron James's attitude.

Anxi learned the lesson of LeBron James, and he called Josh Smith with a sincere attitude.

"Josh, we need you here, you know, championships aren't made up of one person, it's made up of all of us, and I want you to be one of us and help us defend our title. ”

These words were obviously very decent, and they held Josh Smith very high, and even lowered his posture, without mentioning a word of himself from beginning to end.

But in the next second, Josh Smith's words made An Xi choke.

"I'm sorry, Ann, but I've already made a decision, I've decided to join the Houston Rockets. ”

"Why?" Anxi is naturally very strange, is it difficult for Moral White Howard's phone to be so good, better than the championship, better than money, and better than himself?

Soon, Josh Smith gave an answer: "The Rockets promised me the main position, which you can't give me, I still believe in my own strength, so I choose the Rockets, I believe that with my joining, the Rockets can also join the championship race." ”

Josh Smith showed his incomparable confidence, and An Xi could only spread his hands helplessly, anyway, time will prove whether Josh Smith's final choice was correct.

However, media reporters began to laugh at the 76ers after learning the inside story of the Josh Smith battle.

"The 76ers lost the competition, and Josh Smith went to Houston!"

"Anxi phone is not as good as Warcraft, Josh Smith finally chose rockets!"

Even ESPN's expert reporter Henry Abbott pretended to analyze the problem of Anxi's attraction to free agents, he believed: "In terms of the ability to attract free agents and big-name players, Anxi should be far inferior to LeBron James, and socially, Anxi is far inferior to Zhan Huang." ”

"LeBron James can recruit Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, and Kevin Love can be recruited, while Anxi can't even negotiate a Josh Smith, which is obviously the social gap between the two......"

What are the serious consequences of such a disparity? Henry Albert also answered.

"In the long run, Anxi will lack good teammates, and his team will gradually lose competitiveness......

For Henry Abbott's analysis, An Xi could only sneer, anyway, time will tell.

For Josh Smith, Anxi has the same attitude, and time will prove that Josh Smith's choice is wrong.

Failing to recruit Josh Smith, the 76ers had to sign Brandon Davis from the Development League on a ten-day contract to alleviate the team's lack of inside.

The January game also continued, and after beating the Bucks, the 76ers rushed to Brooklyn to beat the Nets 109-88 on the road, making it a six-game winning streak.

On the other side, the Rockets who got Josh Smith fluctuated, they also played in New York, but at Madison Square Garden on the other side, and in the end they lost, losing to the New York Knicks, a heavy defeat, new signing Josh Smith got a lot of opportunities, but in the end he shot 2 of 11, only 5 points, and 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

The main position was obtained, but Josh Smith's performance was miserable.
