Chapter 893 [Parallel Goods, Super Harden]
In the next game, the Suns lost to the Heat on the road, and the winning streak was ended.
The Heat relied on patchwork to strengthen the lineup, and the overall strength is not bad, and they are currently ranked fifth in the East.
Wade had 35 points, six rebounds and seven assists, Granger had 20 points and seven rebounds, and Odom also had 16 points, 11 rebounds and four assists.
The Heat's starting point guard was Mario Money, and Mayo was in charge of the sixth man with the bench, and he performed slightly better after having the ball in the second quarter. After Odom joined, the Heat players cooperated well and the ball moved quickly.
Riley not only brought in Granger and Odom to assist Wade, but also Louis Armondson and Jeron Collins, two defensive interior players, and signed backup point guard Ronnie Price on the outside.
The Heat's roster has changed a lot, mainly because O'Neal Jr. jumped out of contract, and if he chooses to execute the final year of his contract, the Heat will have to rebuild in 2010, and now the time has been brought forward.
O'Neal Jr., who joined the Hawks, made Nash miserable. Last season, he was healthy with the Heat and played good statistics, but the Hawks only played 20 games and were reimbursed for the season due to a knee injury.
No matter what the future holds, James can't go to the Heat, and Wade can go to him to play brother basketball.
Guo Xu participated in the Christmas game, playing at home against the Warriors, and the two sides played a high score of 142-127 in regular time.
The Warriors are not Robert's team yet, and owner Chris Cohan probably thinks he can play well in the new season and doesn't immediately sell all of his shares. If a good record proves that the combination of Kobe, Curry, and Rohr Deng is promising, the team can sell it for a higher price.
Unfortunately, the Warriors have once again let Kohan down, their overall offense is very good, they can pull out to shoot on the inside, and they can shoot on the outside, but the defense is a mess, with a 9-20 opening game.
The team's new head coach is "Little General" Avery Johnson, which is doomed to tragedy for the Warriors, and he brought over five sets of tactics from the Mavericks' period, that is, the 1-5 singles. The good news is that the Warriors aren't going to get any weaker because that's how Mike Woodson played before.
After Curry joined the Warriors, Barbosa could return to his familiar sixth man position, but the tactics were the same as last season, and the point guards dribbled over the half court to Kobe Bryant and opened up the opportunity.
The Warriors' biggest problem is Elton Brand, who averaged 13.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 32 minutes per game, shooting 46.3% from the field and 51.2% from the field.
Brand's badness can't be fully reflected in the statistics, his speed has become slower after two serious injuries, his blocking and pick-and-roll ability has become worse, and he can only resist people near the restricted area, and his short ability to control rebounds has also become average.
David Anderson's defense is not as good as Brand's, and Steven Hunter's athleticism has declined even more since returning from injury.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Turiaf joined the Warriors, although it was a pure defensive blue-collar team, at least he played well in the defensive restricted area. After signing Brand, the Warriors can't sign a great blue-collar big man, and the box defense has an Achilles' heel.
The Warriors win against teams with poor interior offense, and where the shooting hot zone is near the restricted area, the Warriors are basically a dead end, and the big man cuts and catches the ball after the cover, and they give up an average of 112 points per game.
Guo Xu didn't exert much effort in the Christmas game, and got 20 points and 24 assists. Xiao Si scored a game-high 45 points, eight rebounds and two assists, and Gasol Jr. also scored 22 points.
Kobe Bryant scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 60% from the field, but he couldn't win if he couldn't prevent it, and the opponent's shooting rate was higher than him.
In the post-game press conference, Bryant expressed strong dissatisfaction with the team's defense, and the cameraman gave Curry a death glare when he caught Bryant on the court.
Curry's defense in the rookie season was really not very good, and when he played against the Bucks, he was cut by fellow rookie Jennings for 51 points, and the two were in full position, and Curry was passed by the other party again and again.
Because of his unruly personality and street-style outstanding actions, Jennings was called "Iverson's successor". Curry was ridiculed as a "parallel trader", people said that comparing him with Guo Xu was an insult, he just shot well, he couldn't break through, the speed was not fast, and the defense was very similar to Guo Xu who released water.
Some experts pointed out that Curry was resisted before the season began, and Kobe Bryant did not talk to Curry in the locker room, giving the rookie an embarrassing start because Curry showed his reluctance to join the Warriors in the summer, just like looking down on Kobe.
There are also many people who spray Kobe Bryant on the Internet, questioning his ability to lead the team, thinking that he is a locker room cancer. Kobe Bryant didn't communicate when Bogut arrived with the Lakers, he and his teammates were nodding friends, smiling and saying hello, and the relationship would not be good enough to care about each other.
Someone else said that as long as he leaves, Curry and Rohr Deng are definitely not role players who don't average 15 points per game, and will immediately rise to become stars.
Curry's stats are much worse than Guo Xu's previous life, because he has to share the ball with his teammates.
Bryant averaged 27 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5 assists on 21.5 shots per game, shooting 45.6% from the field, 32.9% from three-point range and 81% from the free throw line.
Rohrdden averaged 12.1 shots per game and Brand averaged 11.5 shots per game...... Curry averaged 11.8 shots per game, averaging 14.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 33 minutes per game, shooting 46.8% from the field, 45.6% from three-point range and 88.5% from the free throw line.
While Curry's true shooting percentage is close to 60 percent and his scoring efficiency is higher than Kobe's 54.5 percent true shooting percentage, he's just a rookie and the coach can't possibly give him more shots.
Striking Curry is James Harden, the No. 4 rookie who is now leading the rookie list, and his luck exploded after joining the Kings, and he was directly established as the core of the perimeter.
Harden also played in the Christmas game against the Clippers, and he led the Kings to victory, opening the game 17-12 and returning to the playoffs.
Harden averaged 37.2 minutes per game, scoring 23.6 points, five rebounds and 5.2 assists while shooting 42.6 percent from the field and 36.2 percent from three-point range. His stats are X better than another James' rookie season, and he has locked up the Rookie of the Year award.
In an interview, the reporter asked Harden why he had such a long beard.
Harden replied: "This is the look Jason Guo helped me choose, he said that my appearance will be more domineering and better to grow a beard, and I will keep it for a year and a half, and it really works." ”
It's no wonder that he is effective, he is a bench player when he goes to the Thunder, the coach arranges tactics, and giving the ball is the key.
Harden throws three-pointers very hard, and he plays pick-and-roll tactics with Brook Lopez very well. Lopez has also improved significantly, with the ability to shoot mid-range shots after receiving the ball, cutting through the air after blocking and pick-and-roll, and using his body and feet to play singles in the low post.
Guo Xu's Jr. Jason Richardson is a swing at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, can catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, and occasionally can play fast breaks.
The unlucky one was Kevin Martin, who went off the bench as the sixth man, and the starting point guard was Benno Udri.
Udri is a heavy guard with excellent shooting, usually passing the ball after half court, waiting for an opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, rarely breaking through, only breaking through once when he is out of position, and his scoring efficiency is not low.
Curry is very envious of Harden, he believes that if he joins the Kings, he will not perform worse than Harden, but now he is saddled with the infamy of "defensive black hole". He's just a speed-defying guard, and his height can interfere with shooting, so it's okay for him and Kobe to deal with Korver and Morrow.
However, fans believe that Curry is a black hole because he looks like a schoolboy......
