Chapter 513: Grizzly Bear's Decline (2/5, Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Dwayne Wade had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals on 5-of-15 shooting, and in this game, Wade didn't score a single mid-range shot, and all five of his field goals were scored from close range, including two violent dunks, and free throws were all hard to beat.
"In this game, Dwyane Wade didn't show his mid-range shooting, but Dwayne Wade showed his athleticism and top-notch finishing ability under the basket."
"If the follow-up development of the shot, Dwayne Wade is destined to be waterless."
After the game, Hoop Sports analyzed the performance of the two rookies of the match.
Dacomilisic came off the bench because of a wave of outbursts late in the first quarter, and he had 12 points, nine rebounds and two assists on 5-of-14 shooting, and Tanhualang seemed to have found his place.
"But in this game, Dakomilisic still has a lot of problems, he doesn't play well and his shooting is not very consistent."
"This game is a direct confrontation between Bangyan and Tanhua, and in the duel, Dwyane Wade already has a certain amount of improvisation, and his breakthrough and basket scoring can already contribute, on the other hand, Daco Milicic, he still has a long way to go."
……
On October 30, in addition to Wade and Daco Milicic making their official NBA debuts, other key rookies also made their debuts.
In the Cavaliers vs. Kings game, LeBron James made his debut, the chosen son is the chosen son, he directly cut 25 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals in this game, and his performance was the best rookie in the class of 03.
The Raptors faced the Spurs in the first game, and Carmelo Anthony shot 4 of 15 in the first game, playing crazy iron, only scoring 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
In the Bucks' first game against the Timberwolves, Chris Bosh made his debut off the bench and scored 11 points and 4 rebounds on 5-of-8 shooting.
The Heat faced the Wizards in the first game, but T.J. Ford was unable to play due to injury, and the Bulls' Kirksingridge also did not play.
The Clippers' Chris Carman played six minutes, scoring two points, two rebounds and one block on 1-of-1 shooting.
The performance of the players with the first few picks in the lottery gives the impression that the rookies in the draft year are nothing more than that, with LeBron James being the true chosen one, and Dwayne Wade being the second.
Judging from the data of the debuts of the major rookie players, there is no problem with the selection of the Rockets, and Dwayne Wade is the second best rookie in this draft.
In fact, there has been a lot less debate about Wade after the preseason and after this game, and the vast majority of media, pundits and commentators in North America believe that Johi has once again shown his hawk eye and found the best rookie player other than LeBron James.
……
The game on October 30 has come to an end, and all the NBA teams have already staged their new season debuts.
The Rockets' defeat of the Nuggets is not important news, except for the Celestial Empire, the media in North America has not paid much attention.
The Lakers' 109-93 win over the Mavericks was the focus of the opener, and as many basketball commentators said, the Mavericks, who were heavily recruited in the summer, seemed to have a luxurious lineup, but when they really played, they couldn't compare to the Lakers' triumvirate combination.
This game is proof of that.
The Spurs beat the Raptors, the Kings beat the Cavaliers, and the Timberwolves beat the Bucks didn't get much attention either.
However, the Celtics were upset, defeating the Grizzlies by 93-91, 2 points in the opening game, and shocked the chicken feathers.
For Hubbie Brown, last season's Black Seven was enough of a failure, and he didn't expect that in the new season, failures would follow.
In fact, the grizzly bear's current predicament was also something Qiao Hai had thought of a long time ago.
After he left the Grizzlies, the decline of the Grizzlies in the past two seasons was inevitable, because Qiao Hai left the Grizzlies with a very luxurious lineup, and in terms of Michael Haesley's character, the result of refusing to pay the luxury tax is that the luxury roster left by Qiao Hai must continue to be lost.
But the loss of the luxury roster has only brought a slight decline, and Qiao Hai believes that in two or three seasons, the Grizzlies will usher in a wave of significant decline.
Here's the reason – Tracy McGrady's downturn is coming.
Injuries are one of the reasons, although Qiao Hai used the injury card to solve the aftermath of Maddie's back injury, but in addition to the back injury, Maddie has injuries in other positions.
For example, the left knee injury that really caused Maddie to slip seriously in his previous life.
Qiao Hai guessed that Maddie at this time must also have a little injury.
In addition to the injuries, the bigger issue is Maddie's fighting spirit.
Qiao Hai's two consecutive championships and two consecutive FMVPs, as well as the regular season MVP trophy after Qiao Hai left, have made Maddie a little satisfied with the present.
In his previous life, Maddy also had a fighting spirit problem, and the former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy in his previous life also criticized Maddie in public for not training.
Adding up the two, Maddie's decline is inevitable.
Of course, in addition to Maddy's decline, the unreasonable configuration of the Grizzlies roster is also one of the reasons, and Jerry West's desire to sign James Posey in the summer is actually a trial.
If James Posey can be signed for an average annual price of 5 million, then Jerry West's next move will follow.
Aside from Maddie and roughly, the Grizzlies have no players who are not for sale.
But because he failed to sign James Posey and the plan was broken, Jerry West is still having a headache about how the Grizzlies' seemingly luxurious roster should be transformed.
……
After the Rockets played the Nuggets at home and got their first win of the season.
On Nov. 1, the Rockets faced the Grizzlies at home.
This game was supposed to be the highlight of the round, but before the game, the Grizzlies announced that Maddie would miss the game after being out for a week due to a left calf strain.
Maddie was suspended, and the attention of this game was suddenly a lot lower.
Hubby Brown's Grizzlies have always relied heavily on Maddie, which is also a tactical failure for Hubby Brown, and in this game, without Maddie, the Grizzlies struggled very much.
Qiao Hai made a special arrangement for the Grizzlies, and through defensive contraction, he directly abolished several of the Grizzlies' interior strengths, and the Grizzlies became Billups' lone tree.
On the Rockets' side, Yao Ming is still a point that is difficult for opponents to solve, shooting 12 of 16 in this game, cutting 29 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, scoring the highest in the game.
Gary Payton had 19 points and four assists, and Dwyane Wade was still adjusting to the intensity of the regular season, taking fewer shots in this game, shooting 6-of-11 from the field, and only one from the distance of 6-of-6 shooting, finishing with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
Compared to the previous game, Wade no longer struggles with his mid-to-long-range shooting, and the most important thing is to play excellent and reasonable statistics first.
Ron Artest, who played soy sauce in the opening game, also broke out in this game, scoring 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Relying on the excellent performance of the foursome, the Rockets defeated the Grizzlies 91-79 and won two consecutive games in the opening game.
