Chapter 103: The Dominance of the Inner and Outer Lines
The Magic team is not a team that is so easy to give up, in fact, the Magic team is also a strong team in the East, even if the East is weak, the Magic team will not be hung by the Rockets, they can play five or five when they meet the Lakers who have defeated the Rockets twice, and they can also beat when they meet last year's defending champions, and now they are suppressed by the Rockets in all directions, it can only be said that the Rockets This lineup is born to restrain the Magic.
Howard will not suffer from anyone, but when he encounters Da Yao, he is really weak, he can't get into the offensive end, and the defensive end is completely blown up, and he can't beat the other party on offense and defense, the signature players on the bright side of the Magic team have been educated, and what will the remaining little brother use to win?
Of the Magic and Rockets' starting five, Nils may be the only one who has the advantage.
This year and next year are also the best times for Nils, with three of the Magic's starting five reaching their peak this year, so it's no wonder they've historically been able to break through from the East this year to meet the Lakers in the Finals.
But Nils, no matter how peak he is, is at best an All-Star at the bottom, and although he has some outside shooting ability and a strong body, he has not performed well when he encounters teams with solid interior lines.
Today, his original general outside feel suddenly became excellent, in the second quarter of the three-point shot 2 of 3, the middle shot also shot 4 of 5, one person scored 14 points alone to lead the team to close the point difference, but no matter how accurate the outside line is, he does not have the splash brothers of later generations, after all, this is not the job he depends on to survive, and when the second quarter is about to end, when Nelson thought of breaking through to the inside line to continue scoring points for the team, Totoro told the other party with a top plate hat that was almost a flat head frame, I have no way to sanction you if you are a wave of outside shots, But coming to the inside line is really looking for death, so let's go to the outside line to be sober again.
The Magic team relied on the play of the guard line to hang the point difference, but the Rockets have used a strong interior line to maintain the point difference, and now the center in the league is a little withered, but as long as there is an inside killer like Yao Ming or O'Neal, the small ball era will never come.
Curry and Thomson are already historical shooters, and Curry has taken fast three-pointers and ultra-long-distance three-pointers to the extreme, but has Curry ever pulled his three-point shooting percentage above 50?
It's like saying that the most powerful Warriors in the future and the Lakers during the three-game championship period play a series, the Warriors will indeed have a few explosions, how to shoot three-point shots, how to win one or two games, but can they win the entire series?
Green is now the best defensive player, but no one who is a little more sane thinks that only 2.01 meters, 230 pounds can defend against O'Neal, who has 2.16 meters and 300 pounds, has a flexible pace on the inside, is full of energy and can dunk flat frames, three-point shots are always better to defend than two-point shots, let's put it this way, Curry has had a small probability of missing 10 three-point shots on nights, but O'Neal never has this kind of night when he was playing, all he has to do is always to bounce off the opponent with his strength, and then jump up and smash the basket.
Therefore, even if Nelson's three-point accuracy is not good today, it is impossible for him to steal a victory from Houston with the Magic, Yao Ming keeps telling the other party with a stable turnaround jumper and a shooting rate of nearly 6 percent, the Rockets have labor and management, and I have no solution!
In the first half, Totoro gave fans a powerful dunk and a beautiful hot pot, this kind of morale-damaging work is always something that the little giants are not good at, but Da Yao is good at non-stop consistent scoring, and he has reached his peak since the 05-06 season. His season shooting percentage has never fallen below 50%, and his overall career shooting percentage is also above 50%, Yao Ming has always given people the feeling that as long as he shoots, this goal can be scored, and in fact he can really throw the ball in.
Now the strategy of the Rockets is that the newly emerged, sharp-edged Totoro is responsible for charging into battle to rob the house, and the little giant is responsible for the cornerstone of the team, although now due to the advantage of age, or maybe a certain nationality relationship, the Rockets are more inclined to Totoro in terms of attitude, but Totoro does not rely on this to earn a victory or defeat with the little giant in the team commander.
Whoever is the boss is his own person anyway, as long as it is not those black people who are in charge.
At 100:83, the Magic, a team that lives on defense, was hit with triple-digit points, Yao Ming contributed 32 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the game, and Totoro had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, missing a triple-double with 2 assists.
On the Magic side, Howard sleepwalked 5 of 14 shots and only scored 13 points and 8 boards including free throws, Mr. Billion 10 points and 3 boards, Turkoglu and Niles performed well, one scored 19 points, and the other scored 23 points, but the Magic team scored double-doubles for these four people, and the Rockets who scored double-doubles in the face of 6 people are naturally not opponents.
With the highlight performance of these games, the little giant beat Kobe Paul to win the Western Conference Player of the Week with an average of 28.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, and the rookie of the week is still the cyst of Totoro, he broke the NBA record with the youngest 30 points this week, who else can this honor be awarded to him?
With Totoro winning the Rookie of the Week for the third time in a row, this month's Rookie of the Month naturally can't run out of his palm, and now no one has compared Westbrook and LeFou, a rookie player like Love, and the performance of several people in three weeks has already said it all.
"With the Houstown rookie putting on an All-Star performance, can he replace Maddie as the new god of the Rockets?" - The Houston Times.
"The No. 6 pick has another amazing stat, maybe he can match the top spot, and Alexander is the biggest winner this season." - Los Angeles Times.
"The world of the Chinese?" ーESPN。
"The strongest rookie in history may come to naught, think about last year's No. 7 rookie and No. 31 rookie, the Chinese cannot stand the test of time."
But this world is like this, when someone sings praises for you, someone will always come out and step on you, Yahoo Sports is such a pioneer, earlier when Yao Ming debuted, Yahoo Sports also looked down on the little giant, it seems that this newspaper just likes to get along with the Chinese, who knows why?
