Chapter 334: What is a Hall of Fame Supergiant

The NBA is the place where miracles are born, but the reason why miracles are called miracles is because this is something that will happen with a very small probability, and the probability of happening does not mean that it will happen.

112-98, 120-101, 102-84, 99-93, the Rockets took away the series with four clean wins, in addition to the first two games of the scoring battle, the last two games in the Denver home in a plateau environment, the smart Houstonians played defense with the Denver guys, and although the melon and the answer still combined to contribute 64 points and 71 points in the next two games, the two of them occupied 75% of the team's ball possession and shots, and the shooting rate was only about 35%, They accounted for three-quarters of the team's scoring but limited the performance of the other three players in the room, and the rest of the Diggers players were like they were coming to the playoffs to practice and run back, and the offensive end only had to disperse and cheer and cheer, and they were spectators who had special VIP tickets to watch the two supergiants play individual singles.

The individual can never defeat the collective, and the star basketball can never beat the system basketball, this tune has been proven many times in the history of the NBA, Chamberlain in ancient times, and then Ewing in the Knicks, Kobe Bryant in the single-core period of the Lakers, and the big power of the Thunder team behind, the superstar dominance of the ball usage rate can indeed brush out a point of data that others worship, and it can also be smooth sailing in the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs when the bayonet is red, it is mostly the tragic fate of a round of tours, What's more, now the Diggers have two big guys who can only play with the ball, not to mention that this year they are facing the Rockets, who are the first in the regular season, even if they meet other giants in the West, most of them are eliminated.

And the most disappointing thing is not the showdown between Carmelo Anthony and Totoro.

Melon has always been known for its strong scoring ability and many scoring methods, from his rookie season to be able to cut 30+ to become the third youngest 30+ player in NBA history to now, Anthony's offensive ability has been talked about, and although his defensive ability is urgent, it is not bad to the point of being miserable, and in the playoffs, with the correct attitude, Anthony can still contribute defensive ability higher than the league's benchmark value, this year's social melon is only 26 years old, logically speaking, he is still in his prime, Anthony was very unhappy to see the sudden rise of Totoro, and the two had a verbal fight between the media in a day or two, and others were looking forward to the conversation between one of the strongest small forwards in the league.

But the script doesn't go the way people think it is!

Four series down, My Neighbor Totoro averaged 27.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 3.2 blocks, 2.3 steals and 1.4 turnovers per game, and Anthony averaged 29.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.9 steals and 3.5 turnovers per game.

He can't break through Totoro at all, in the past, he used his big forward physique to hit the opponent's back to the advantage of being in front of Totoro who can also play the No. 4 position, there is no footwork to break through, no tonnage to hit the back, what Anthony can do is to use the difficult step-back dry pull-up jump shot again and again to score, although Anthony's hand Totoro really can't cover it, but he has been allowed to shoot such a difficult shot, where can Anthony's shooting rate be high?

In contrast, Totoro keeps using his impact to create opportunities for his teammates, as long as his teammates feel good or have a chance, Totoro is definitely the first priority to let his teammates score first, in the first three games Totoro played on the offensive end and did not have a sense of existence, with an average of only about 20 points per game, But the assists soared to 14.3, he almost broke through the pass, and occasionally he clocked out and went off work to rest when he shot two baskets, but in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets, who were cornered, broke out with extremely high defensive intensity, and everyone in the Rockets, including Paul, was restricted from scoring normally, and the battle Totoro stood up at the right time, slashing 56 points and 14 boards in the whole game, but only 4 assists were recorded, he stood up when others felt abnormal, and he started scoring when the team needed him to score, Totoro helped the Rockets survive the most critical period, and he explained to Anthony and Iverson what it means to be a superstar!

Anthony of the fourth station was directly hit by Totoro's emotional explosion, after Totoro broke through him to complete a dunk, he felt that he was jealous and humiliated by the social brother who was now on the ground where Totoro landed, and after being dodged by the witty Totoro, Anthony also wanted to take the initiative to step forward and continue to violate Totoro, melon is not yet a social melon in the New York period, but even so, Anthony is also a master of things, and Totoro, who was tireless, pushed the other party away, Anthony took the opportunity to rush over and fight, was separated by his teammates and the referee.

"You bastard, haven't you been arrogant since you joined the alliance? Are you scared now? If it's not convenient now, we can make an appointment after this game, and I'm going to teach you a good lesson! ”

The referee gave Melon a second-degree malicious foul, but before being taken away from the scene by the security guards, Melon still spewed trash words at Totoro.

But Totoro's reaction to Anthony's provocation was indifference.

This is the experience of him becoming more and more mature, of course, this is also because of his own level, now he thinks that he and Anthony are not players at the same level at all, just like a rich man is called by a poor man outside, will that rich man really roll up his sleeves to see the poor man? If the poor are not excessive, he can be a dog barking, and if the poor get an inch, he can also hit 110, so why bother to see him in general? If he wants to do it now, the referee will give him a malicious foul without saying a word, and the fine is not a matter for a star of their level, but the ban is a blood loss.

Anyway, Melon has been eliminated by himself, and he will be banned from the regular season next season, but he still has to play the second round of the series, so is it not worth the loss to be dragged to death by Anthony? My Neighbor Totoro said he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
