Chapter Ninety-Eight: The West is Strong and the East is Weak
"Oh, I just found out about this, it's their own business, but I also want to say to that Chinese rookie, hey, brother, you've just joined the NBA family, don't do anything too much, you still have a long time in the league."
LeBron James, who had just led the team to slaughter the Bucks, replied when asked by a reporter about this question, although his words were not intense, but his tone was as impolite as an older brother educating his younger brother.
The domineering words that My Neighbor Totoro said to Terry during the game have long been translated by the lip readers, and now almost all fans who like to watch the excitement know what happened between My Neighbor Totoro and Terry.
"Terry isn't a match for Totoro, it's obvious to look like, but I still think he's crazy."
Wade's Heat had just lost to the Hawks, so the Flash seemed unhappy and used more direct words.
"Because he's always going to have better opponents than him, and it's rude for us to educate newcomers in a game that we don't say, 'Hey, man, I'm going to score twice as many points as you.'"
Well, the Flash directly ignored Terry's insulting words, I don't know if the people of the United States like to take things out of context like this.
"Well, I don't have anything to say, he should do it, the status of a basketball player is all based on himself, for example, me."
Of course, not all black athletes criticize Totoro like Gorillas or the Flash, and Kobe Bryant just led the Lakers to a victory over the Celtics at Staples Arena, which is considered to have gotten back a little interest from last season's Finals, so the boss looks in a good mood.
And even if the boss is in a mediocre mood, it is his style of doing things to defeat all enemies head-on like a man, otherwise he wouldn't have played tricks on the soon-to-be-retired Joe gang leader in the All-Star Game.........
The Rockets had a day off in Dallas, and the next day they immediately flew to Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.
Originally, the Wizards were a very competitive team, and they had three muskets composed of General Arenas and Antoine Jamison and Caron Butler, supplemented by Nick Young, McGee, and Darius. Sangella, DeSean. Stevenson's young talent or talent list should be the playoff team in the East.
But that's the case, sometimes the beautiful surface is actually as fragile as a bubble that bursts at the touch of a button, the general who was exposed to drug abuse collapsed, Darius was destroyed by injuries, Nick Young, McGee and Stevenson were also proven through a few games that they just have a problem player with a negative IQ, Butler was sold to the Mavericks, and now the Wizards are only supported by an aging Jamieson, and the team's record is naturally counted backwards in the league.
However, the Rockets inexplicably overturned in this must-win game.
The NBA is such a magical team, the actual gap between some teams and some teams does exist, but there are always a few games every season in which weak teams can defeat strong teams, and it is not the referee's whistle, it is purely the explosion of the whole team's character today.
The Wizards are such a situation tonight, the No. 0 agent who has lost the ability to break through is accurate in three-point shooting today, and he scored 15 points on 5 of 5 shots in the first half, Jamison is also old and strong, how to shoot when he is against Randolph on the inside, Nick Young showed a little style of the singles king in the future, McGee also frequently performed air relays and violent dunks on the inside line of the Rockets, and the Rockets were stunned by the Wizards' firepower as soon as they came on the court, and they actually trailed the Wizards by 16 points at halftime.
Of course, there can be such a disparity in the score, and the opponent's feeling is one reason, and the other reason is that the whole Rocket team feels cold.
The away fatigue that piled up finally broke out in this game, Yao Ming They really didn't feel tired, but when they shot, they were always a little bit bit accurate, and the Rockets only hit 18 of the team's 51 shots in the first half, which can no longer be described as miserable.
In the second half, the Rockets players' feelings began to recover, Totoro seized on the opponent's laxity and scored four three-pointers in a row, Yao Ming also began to show the power of the league's No. 1 center in the West, and the Rockets successfully closed the gap to four points before the fourth quarter under the leadership of two Chinese.
But the Wizards who played the state today really can't be limited, if the players on the team have divine help, then it's really how to shoot, how to have, once Totoro hit the Wizards' basketball to the middle line, Arenas returned to the half court to pick up the ball, and there were only 3 seconds left in the offensive time, and the general's three-point shot from his own three-point line could hit the board into the Rockets' basket, which made the Rockets players how to defend?
In the end, the Rockets reaped their fifth loss since the start of the season, and the two wins and three losses in the last five games have caused the Rockets to fall to 7th place in the West, and they are about to fall out of the echelon of the playoffs.
How fierce is the competition for a playoff spot in the West, 12 years ago, the NBA pattern has always been strong in the West and weak in the East, the top 10 teams in the West all have a winning rate of more than 50%, and only the Cavaliers in the East, the Celtics and the Magic have a win rate of more than 50, the Hornets in the tenth place in the West can be the fourth in the East when they go to the East, and the Celtics, who are third in the East, can't even enter the playoffs when they come to the West, what else can be said about such a strange situation?
And since the end of the Bulls dynasty, the NBA championship has been in the bag of the West in recent years, counting the Celtics last year, the Pistons and the Heat in the East have won a championship, and the other championships have been wrapped up in the West, this pattern has also made NBA President David Stern very helpless, but he has no way to change anything.......
Maybe the only way is to wait until next year's season is over, let a few superstars in the east integrate, and start the superstar huddle mode to compete with these strong teams in the west.
