Chapter 178: Silver-Haired Beauty
Roy has always been one of the players Totoro admires in his heart, whether it was when he was just a fan as Wu Fan in his previous life or when he played in the NBA in this life, he respected this Saint Seiya very much.
There is no messy news off the court, no alcohol, no drugs, no prostitution, I don't know, but at least I don't prostitute myself like a lama until my body collapses, I usually train hard, although I am not cruel, but I am born with a leadership temperament, have a big heart and dare to take responsibility, which determines that his achievements in the NBA will definitely not be bad.
It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, like the fate of most tragic geniuses, the owner of the Rose Garden Arena has not had time to bloom, and it withered first because of injuries, but Roy did not give up his basketball career like Auden the Great, even if he can no longer compete in the NBA as a player, Roy still uses the new identity of coach to restart his basketball dream, the NBA is a big dye vat of fame and fortune, and 90% of the players in it are playing basketball for dollars and fame, There are very few people who play basketball purely because of it, and Roy is one of them, and while you can't say he's not in it for money at all, but at least not all for it, and that's enough.
The bench stage is the weak part of the Trail Blazers, because they have been the league's fish belly team for a long time in recent years, the Portlanders have not attracted many powerful role players in the league to join, and the high-pick draft picks have been used by them to cobble together the main team, and the bench is naturally weak into a dog.
Look at the Rockets' bench Gasol Jr. and David Lee, Lowry and Battier, these are all players who can be the main force outside, David Lee has been famous for a long time, and Gasol Jr., a rookie, has proven to the world that he is a dusty pearl, and he can brush up 8+6 in a limited 15 minutes, which is second to many rookies in the first round.
Lowry's growth is also obvious, maybe the average of 7+4 data per game can't see anything, but as long as there is a small steel cannon, the Rockets bench lineup will never lack vitality, Lowry's offensive ability and breakthrough ability are at least the league's starting level, and now with Calderon, the master of control, in the team, Lowry is also slowly learning these abilities of ball allocation, his potential is obvious! Not to mention the last Battier, the president is a championship puzzle everywhere he goes, and his defensive skills and awareness are worth learning from everyone in the NBA.
Don't say how much the Grizzlies regret it now, people often say that the Grizzlies are the trumpet of the Lakers, and when people used Gasol Jr. + Kwame Brown and some cash to exchange their big Gasol, in fact, this is not the case, the Grizzlies should be the trumpet of the Rockets.
Lowry, Battier, Gasol Jr., and Randolph, who they were originally prepared to accept, almost 1/4 of the Rockets' teammates were all from the Grizzlies, and the price paid was only Rudy Gay, Scola and Landry.
Battier may not be enough to replace Rudy Gay alone, but Scola and Landry can't replace any of the three of the Rockets, Landry and Scola walked out of the Rockets as if they were a different person, the Divine Bird is no longer a musket on the bench, and Scola's flowing style of play is also incompatible with the Grizzlies' hand-to-hand combat, and now the data of the two has shrunk by 30% compared to when they were with the Rockets.
So before the second quarter bench battle began to last 2 minutes, the Grizzlies were choked by the Rockets' bench bandits, and the score that began to be anxious was stretched to 8 points.
Adelman was in no hurry to change his starting line-up here, he wanted to see where the current combat power of this group of substitutes was, and then a surprising scene happened.
After playing like this for a few more minutes, the Rockets' bench not only did not lose points, but Gasol Jr. and David Lee forced the Trail Blazers interior to score two more points, completely pulling the difference between the two teams to double digits.
Needless to say, David Lee's abilities, A white man with a white interior line of less than 2.05 meters can gain a firm foothold in the league, and get an annual salary of nearly 10 million How much other ability is needed to support it, Trail Blazers fans have seen David Lee with his superhuman rebounding sense of smell in advance to card the main position, stuck Aldridge who is far taller than himself and has long arms to grab the rebound, and then rely on the opponent to wipe the board to score the basketball, this Trail Blazers fans will endure, after all, Black Ade is also a sophomore, and David Lee is a third-grader, but what the hell is that No. 31 rookie Makgasol who threw two moving hooks in a row under the defense of their home Auden the Great?
Oden tried to use his rough back hitting technique to attack Gasol Jr., but at 280 pounds, he couldn't squeeze the equally strong and bear-like Mark Gasol, but he was younger and healthier than Yao Ming, and Gasol Jr., who was more skilled than Oden, could use his back body technique to move Gasol Jr., which was really unacceptable to a group of Trail Blazers fans.
Their emperor is the champion of 07, and the Rockets are looking for second-hand goods from the fifth rookie in the second round of the Grizzlies, even if Oden has been injured, but he is also the champion, there is an old saying that the phoenix with falling hair is not as good as a chicken, but little Gasol looks like a little chicken no matter how he looks at it.
Take a look at the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan, this brother is the authentic No. 2 pick, in addition to rebounding, he will dunk, he will foul and leave the court after less than 10 minutes in a game, and no one will walk in violation of the rules when no one defends the empty basket, this is the strength of a real second-round show big center.........
Look at Gasol Jr. and then look at Randolph, Clippers fans can't say it, Gasol Jr. participated in the draft last year and entered the NBA this year, saying that last year's second-round draft pick of the Clippers was far ahead of the Lakers, why didn't they choose this little guy but chose NC Jordan?
The main team of the Rockets almost rested until the middle of the second quarter before playing, unlike the Trail Blazers who played again because the situation was out of control, the Rockets were purely because the bench had played long enough, and from the last 4 minutes of the first quarter to now, the benches were about to play on the court for 10 minutes.
There are times when there is such a strange scene in the NBA team, the main players lose points on the court, and the substitute players earn points on the court, or the general team is the main team fighting for points on the court, and the substitutes lose points on the court, but it is rare for a team to earn points on the court like the rockets, such a team lineup has no weaknesses, the main starters are so strong, how can others deal with them?
Roy still insists on fighting on the court, although he can shoot everything inside and outside, although he wants to rely on his own to help his teammates improve their condition, but the Rockets are dealing with him with a laissez-faire attitude, I know that either of the two Battier or Iguodala can't guard against you, but you can't prevent nine, you can score if you want to score, we can score a game at a normal pace, can you score more than 100 points alone?
Even if Roy has the nickname of Saint Seiya, he is also a human being, even if he still has the ability and fighting spirit, his physical strength does not allow him to fight the team on his shoulders for a whole game, Iguodala is good Sean Battier is not a paper paste, one has a body and the other has experience, even a real black mamba can't bear the two people taking turns to greet each other, not to mention the yellow mamba who can't compete with Kobe Bryant now?
"Smack!"
A crisp slap resounded through the center of the Rose Garden, and Roy managed to break through Iguodala, but this time his speed was a little slower, and the arc of the layup was also a little lower, and Totoro slapped the horse from the side and jumped high, fanning the Saint Seiya basketball out of the bottom line neatly.
The referee is embarrassed to give Totoro a foul, Totoro is waiting for the opponent's basketball to shoot and then cover, and his body is dozens of centimeters away from Roy, even if the referee wants to blow the home whistle, he can't blow it, can't blow Totoro block foul, right?
This block is very aggressive, and at the same time, it also wants to completely destroy the desire of the Trail Blazers players to play, they worked hard for a whole game, but they still fell behind from the beginning to the tail, they wanted to lock Yao Ming and Totoro in this game, but in the end, not only the little giant and Totoro played as scheduled, and with the bench also fully blossomed, they can hold on to the open Rockets until now they are awesome.
75:55, McMillan directly replaced all the main forces in the third quarter to announce his surrender, and at the same time, the old coach is also reconsidering the new opponent in the playoffs, it seems that they can't beat it, yesterday they were able to beat the Lakers at home, but today they have no power to fight back against the Rockets, it is not easy to determine who is strong and who is weak in these two teams, but at least the Rockets are more restrained than the Lakers in the lineup.
Seeing this, Adelman replaced his main players, and at the same time, the old coach will also be a man, and after the replacement, it is not the second team of the Rockets, but usually only the number of people in the 15-man squad, but there is no playing time at all Development League players, the Rockets and the Trail Blazers have no mortal enemies, at this time, of course, let the other party lose a little decently, but if it is the Jazz standing opposite today, then they will be miserable, the Rockets will not give up if they don't win him by forty or fifty points, causing a massacre, Sleep them have already made a difference in last year's playoffs?
After taking the Trail Blazers lightly, the Rockets will go to Oklahoma for the fourth time to play against the Thunder there, this is the Rockets' fourth away game, and consecutive away games are also a test of the physical strength of the Rockets, 2,3., April is the last three months that the NBA team wants, and the second half of the season in these months, but also a little before the playoffs, I don't know if there is a curse, this is the time when the NBA players are most injured.
If the team that is consistent with the playoffs is unfortunate enough to win the lottery, then they will be tragic, if the injury is critical, that player will definitely not make the playoffs, and there are many examples of teams being eliminated in the playoffs because of the loss of a big player, and the Rockets say they don't want to be this kind of unlucky guy.
So in this game, Adelman decisively let Yao Ming's group of main players take a break, and he didn't even let Yao Ming and them go to Oklahoma, but let them go back to Houston to rest in Portland.
Doing so will definitely incur a fine from the alliance, if it were Alexander, who had previously picked the door, Adelman would not be dismissed by Alexander, but he would not be able to escape from the hanging, but now that the head is a wealthy Chinese, Adelman will not have such worries.
Anyway, they said that they wanted to ensure the attendance and safety of the little giant, and he was acting in strict accordance with the will of the upper leadership, and he couldn't punish himself.
The final score was 102:110, the pure substitute Rockets lost by 8 points, and also ended their 7-game winning streak, although Durant who scored 34 points in the game won the game with the team, but he was not happy at all when he faced media reporters, originally he prepared for this game for a long time in order to defeat Totoro, but who knew that the game didn't even see the shadow of the other party, this kind of pain of a fist hitting the air really has nowhere to tell people, that damn Adelman!
The old man said in his heart that he didn't carry this pot, in fact, he wanted to bring Totoro in his heart, but the cunning Totoro shamelessly refused his request, maybe he had foreseen in advance that if Yao Ming was missing, he would definitely be targeted by the Thunder team, anyway, Totoro just refused to come over, Adelman's heart was also desperate, and he didn't want to end the rocket's winning streak like this.
My Neighbor Totoro is in such a hurry to go back to Houston, the first is that he also wants to take a break, although it is the body that the system opens, but it is quite difficult to finish a game, why doesn't he take a break with this kind of open and honest reason?
The second point is that she made an appointment to meet with Ivy's classmate today, although Totoro thinks that a lady like Ivy should not have gone to school, and she should hire a private teacher to learn knowledge, so where does the classmate say this?
But the blonde sister said that her classmate was a girl, and she was still a beauty, and Totoro's IQ began to plummet, and she didn't think much about the identity of the other party.
Walking into the high-end luxury French restaurant in Houston, a beautiful woman with long silver-white shawl hair, wearing a black dress, and stepping on a black sky-high suddenly entered My Neighbor Totoro's sight.
Even if it is a Westerner, there are very few people with silver-white hair, which is also a manifestation of aristocratic blood in the West, and it is definitely a blessing to be able to obtain a silver-haired wife.
My neighbor totoro didn't make an appointment with the blonde sister's classmates to meet at that seat, but my neighbor totoro felt that he had found the right person at first glance.
Didn't Ivy say that this classmate of hers was a beauty? Judging from the aesthetics of her way-finding method, it should be that this person didn't run away.
