Chapter 255: The Era of Betrayal
This is an era of carrying the pot, and every moment, someone is carrying the pot.
The Bulls' defeat in Philadelphia didn't affect their record, and they are still in first place in the East.
The 76ers relied on this game to temporarily overtake the Heat and become third in the East!
The Magic, who was second in the East, relied on the outburst of Carter Sr. to win the opponent in the first game of Howard's absence, temporarily maintaining the second lead in the East.
And the Heat, who were originally third in the East, unexpectedly lost in the first game after the All-Star!
Yes, the Heat lost, and in the first game after the All-Star break, the Heat actually lost! And it wasn't the strong team that lost, but the Warriors, who were tenth in the West!
James, Wade and Bosh all scored 20+, but the rest of the team was sleepwalking...... So it's normal for the Heat to lose.
This game is okay for Bosh, because he doesn't have to take the blame for this game.
Bosh had his best performance of the season, hitting 10 of 12 shots, 25 points from the free-throw line, and then 10 rebounds!
It's fair to say that Bosh has done everything he can.
At the same time, Wade also had 21 points, James 26 points, and the three of them combined to score 72 points!
That's a good statistic, but think about the Heat, the whole team only scored 99 points...... It's really a pit that you don't want to want, and it's comparable to the Bulls who lost to the 76ers.
The Warriors' Ellis played even more of his prestige in this game, he shot 14 of 23 from the field, including 8 of 12 three-pointers, and scored a total of 46 points from the free throw line!
That's right, it's 46 points, Ellis has become Rose, and after Han Miao, the third person who can cut 45+ in the face of the Heat Big Three this season!
On the other hand, on the Heat side, Wade is 8 of 19, James is 10 of 25, to be honest, compared with the high efficiency of Bosh's game, the two of them are real pits, and if there is a pot in this game, they need to be carried by the two of them.
But this is impossible, now is the honeymoon period of the Heat Big Three, even if James and Wade play poorly, the two of them will not be sprayed, and it will always be Bosh who is behind it, if it weren't for Bosh's good performance today, it is estimated that he would be criticized by the population.
Curry of the Warriors is also good today, this future super three-pointer, is still a thin little doll, but in this game, he actually scored 7 three-pointers! And several of them were shot at the critical moment when the Heat was chasing points, which shows the destructive power of this person.
So after the game, even if they knew that the loss today was because James and Wade performed too poorly, the media didn't dare to say anything, so they could only find someone to take the blame.
But Bosh unexpectedly played well, which caught the media off guard, oh yes, why did this "backstabber" who has been behind him for most of the season suddenly open up?
Bosh didn't play according to the routine this time, which embarrassed the media, praise him, the team lost, let him take the blame, he is the strongest, what should everyone do? Bosh, you're embarrassing us media!
In the end, no one could carry the pot, and the media could only criticize the coach and substitutes in order to ensure the gimmick.
But who doesn't know that the Heat has almost accompanied Ben out of the Big Three in order to make up the Big Three, where is there anyone on the bench? Even if there were people, one James and one Wade, the two of them combined for 44 shots, and Bosh took another 12 shots, so how did this make other people play? They also want the ball, but some of the main players are playing too high, indulging in shots and not passing, so that the Heat's benches don't have many opportunities to play.
And Heat head coach Spo, a fool can see that he is almost a puppet coach, what else can he carry?
However, the ranking of the East has not changed much, the top eight is the third and fourth exchanges, and the latter is more stable.
It's different in the west, because the records of many teams are entangled with each other, and they may be so far behind each other by 0.5 wins or 1 win, which makes everyone very helpless.
In this year's Western Conference playoff spots, Texas took three at once, the Mavericks first, the Spurs third, and the Rockets fourth.
Needless to say, the Mavericks and Spurs have been strong at this time, especially the Mavericks, who are at the peak of Nowitzki, and there are Kidd, Chandler, Terry and other powerful veterans, you must know that the Mavericks are the championship of this season in history! And the Spurs, needless to say, the Spurs with GDP have never missed the playoffs, and as long as GDP and Popovich are there, the Spurs will always have the ability to compete for the championship.
The Lakers were also able to retain the second place because they were not affected by the serious wave of injuries in the original history, of course, they and the Spurs have 0.5 wins, the ranking is very unstable, the Spurs can surpass at any time, and it is said that Kobe Bryant also has some physical problems, probably in order to adjust, and will be absent for a period of time next.
A lot of viewers were surprised, wait a minute, what the hell? Why can the Rockets be fourth? When they started the game, wasn't Yao Ming the only one?
Yes, the original season in history was abandoned early this season, but this year is different, first of all, Han Miao gave Yao Ming a hanging, so that Yao Ming was injury-free and reached the real peak, Yao Ming became a super center with an average of "26 + 10" per game, and this season the hammer explosion league is unbeatable on all interior lines, it seems that this year can be selected for a team, and even have the opportunity to snatch MVP and best defensive player.
What is the most terrible thing, maybe because Yao Ming has become the current No. 1 center, there has been a dramatic change in history, the former Nuggets in the West, after first exchanging Anthony for half of the Knicks' young talents in this life, actually turned around and traded Billups as well!!
That's right, it's a deal, and it's a rocket!
The scariest thing is that the deal looks very unequal!
Lowry for Billups alone! It's really puzzling that the Nuggets are selling cheaply, you must know that the current Lowry and Billups are not at the same level at all! Why is it just one for one?
When Han Miao saw the news, his heart almost chilled, Mom, wouldn't the uniform team of the Nuggets also be mixed with a certain crossing character, right? Lowry is indeed a future All-Star embryo, but even at Lowry's peak later, Han Miao didn't think he could trade for Billups alone, the Nuggets trade is really incomprehensible, could it be that this is a complete push to rebuild?
I heard that after the Nuggets traded last night, the fans almost demolished the arena, and the uniform team didn't want to do it, right? This is a rebellion!
The Nuggets uniform team is also very helpless, and can only fire a few people to make people angry, these expelled uniform teams are also not good, people sit at home, the pot comes from the sky, they obviously did not participate in this transaction, but they lost their jobs, and can only sigh that the world is impermanent.
But the Rockets are happy, healthy Yao Ming + Billups at the end of the peak, the power of this combination is terrible to think about, the Rockets All-Star is also two consecutive wins, Billups and Yao Ming are a perfect fit!
Alexander, who has always been slashed to death, is finally generous this time!
If Billups is willing to renew his contract with the Rockets after the end of his contract (the last year of the year), Alexander promises to offer a big contract with an annual salary of no less than 15 million and a time limit of no less than 4 years!
Well, the guarantee of 60 million for 4 years is indeed very good for Alexander, who was killed.
I hope he can do what he says, otherwise, in this era of backstabbing, I don't know who will come out to take the blame for him......
