Chapter 809: Obsolete?

Actually, after Barkley switched to the Raptors, the Raptors now have a good record, and the Raptors have Vince in the Raptors. Carter and Tracy. McGrady, the two talented rookie players, and Antonio. Davis, a tough center, just lacks a leader-level player, and Barkley's exchange to the Raptors just fills this gap and naturally becomes the leader of the Raptors. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The current NBA league has seen a trend of being strong in the West and weak in the East, and most of the teams in the East are not as good as the teams in the West, which also makes the competition in the East less fierce, and the Raptors currently have a record of 15 wins and 11 losses, which is already ranked fourth in the East.

Of course, Barkley's tactical status in the Raptors is still very high, the coach gave him enough balls to let him play his big ass singles, and his statistics are also very good, getting a double-double of fifteen plus eleven, it should be said that he should be satisfied at this age, but because at the end of his career, his pursuit is different, he wants a championship, and the Raptors obviously can't meet his wish.

Seeing that the current Rockets are ranked first in the league and have become the favorites to win the championship, Barkley is certainly not very comfortable, and he thinks that if he stays with the Rockets, he may be able to get a championship ring.

For all these reasons, Barkley is full of hatred for the Rockets, and he made it clear early this season that he must go all out in the game against the Rockets, pull the Rockets off the horse, and let the Rockets understand how stupid it is to trade him.

It just so happens that the Rockets are not doing well now, with three big players in the team out of the line, and their physical condition is not very good, and Barkley also wants to take advantage of your illness to kill you.

After the start of this game, the smell of gunpowder is also quite strong, Barkley played quite tough against the old boss, in fact, there is no longer a teammate on the court that Barkley was familiar with last season, Olajuwon and Mobley, who started last season, were injured and absent, and now the field is full of strangers, and the opponent against him has been replaced by Ben. Wallace.

Defending Ding Hongxing was McGrady, a later superstar who was still a sophomore at the time, and his role with the Raptors was still a defensive striker, and the team valued his ability to defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position.

Of course, McGrady's heart is very high now, he doesn't think that he is worse than Ding Hongxing, he took the initiative to ask Ying to defend Ding Hongxing, he feels that he can defend Ding Hongxing.

Of course, he is not the only one who thinks like this, many people think that they can prevent Ding Hongxing, but no one has done it, so far, Ding Hongxing's score has not been below thirty points.

This game is no exception, Ding Hongxing came up on Maddie's head and threw a sudden shot, in just half a quarter of the game, he scored fifteen points, although Barkley's success rate of back play is not low, but after all, the pace is slow, and they can't withstand the Rockets' ten thousand arrows, and they are more than ten points behind in six minutes of the game.

There's no way, the game between the Raptors and the Rockets is not in the same rhythm, and the traditional rhythm of them is more suitable for playing with those slow-paced teams in the East, but when they meet the fast-paced Rockets, they are a little unbearable, and they catch up with the Rockets' three-point hand today, so the point difference has become like this.

The Raptors called a timeout, and after the timeout, they began to focus on wrapping Ding Hongxing, trying to stop his offense, but in this way, their outside defense was wide open, and Ding Hongxing passed the ball out as soon as it was an empty three-point opportunity, and today's Rockets pitchers were also very competitive, their open three-point shooting rate was quite high, and by the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had made seven three-pointers, cut down 42 points, and led the Raptors by 19 points.

The Raptors are a little helpless, and now they are playing with the Rockets, either to defend Ding Hongxing alone, and let Ding Hongxing cut super high scores alone, or to wrap Ding Hongxing, limit his personal attack, and bet that the other players of the Rockets feel bad, in the first quarter, they have used both defensive strategies, but the effect is not good, the feel of the whole Rocket team today is not very good, but it is normal, for the Rockets, the normal feel is enough.

Barkley is also helpless, the Rockets are stronger than he imagined, this is still in the case of the Rockets lacking three big players, if the Rockets have a full lineup, he really can't imagine how strong the Rockets will be, but unfortunately, such a strong Rockets team, he can't be in it, fighting for his first championship ring.

As soon as he thought of this, he was furious, why couldn't Team Rocket tolerate him? In terms of status and statistics, he can't compare to the two Wallaces of the Rockets, right?

After the start of the second quarter, Barkley rested for a few minutes, and saw that the point difference had been widened by the Rockets to more than 20 points, he couldn't sit still, he put on the game again, and frequently asked for the ball to play, today he was ruthless, but although his singles success rate is not low, after all, it is not as good as the Rockets in offensive firepower, and the point difference is still not narrowing, but there is a trend of getting bigger and bigger.

By the end of the third quarter, the game margin had widened to 33 points, although Barkley's personal performance was still good, cutting 24 points and 13 rebounds, but the game had been spent, completely into garbage time, Barkley, Carter, McGrady, Davis and other main players were also replaced, and the Raptors admitted defeat.

Barkley sat on the bench, and the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became, had times really changed? The star of his era, the most used is the back single, which is the most effective tactic, didn't his big ass single once stand alone in the world? Why doesn't it work now?

The Rockets have won two consecutive championships, isn't their most effective weapon also the big dream Olajuwon's back-to-back singles? How did it become such a tactical style of play now? The proportion of back-to-back singles is almost negligible in the Rockets, and the Rockets rely on Ding Hongxing's breakthrough to carry out individual attacks, or create open shooting opportunities for the outside, and then create opponents' mistakes or missed shots in defense, seizing the opportunity to play a fast break counterattack.

In Barkley's view, this kind of basketball philosophy is not orthodox, but an evil crooked, but the Rockets have relied on such a tactical style of play to get today's good results, which makes Barkley a little confused and disdainful, but more likely to be lost, is an old guy like him going to be outdated?
