Chapter 144: The Culprit

The Rockets players naturally had to do it after reading these reports, Yao Ming, who doesn't like to be competitive very much, is fine, but those thin-faced black players are very bad.

My Neighbor Totoro has now become the absolute core of the team, but the teammates under the Rockets are not necessarily so of one heart and one mind in their hearts, and they loyally assist in assisting, they always have some whimsical little ninety-nine in their hearts, not to mention that Totoro was not very friendly when he "recovered" Artest and Brooks at the beginning, and Xiao Heidou, a player destined to break up with the Rockets, let it be said that the beast is obedient to Totoro, which is probably not the opinion of a person with an IQ.

On the surface, the performance of a group of harmony, this is a compulsory homework that every NBA team will do, but no team has a good internal atmosphere, and the current Green Shirts seem to be the Big Three humility to each other, but it was later revealed that the relationship between Ray Allen and Rondo and Pierce is very poor, and the future Warriors dynasty looks like they love each other in the game and are very willing to share the ball, but the Grim Reaper Durant and the cute god Curry, Buddha Thomson and Curry are still exposed to various discords.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention the NBA, a gold cave with fame and fortune, maybe you can lose millions of dollars by making a concession, and let others earn millions of dollars, and you can still be friends when this kind of thing happens? I'm afraid that no matter how good the relationship is, it will be stiff.

Therefore, after Totoro was banned, the beast Artest smelled an opportunity, as long as he could get a beautiful statistic and lead the team to three consecutive wins in the three games that Totoro was not around, his status on the Rockets team would rise at least one notch, so during the period when the Rockets lost two in a row, he frantically plundered the shots of other teammates to increase his aggressiveness, and the Rockets would lose to those two weak teams and the beast's abnormality.

21 shots from 73 shots, this is Artest's answer after two games, it turns out that he is no longer the beast of the Kings or even the Pacers, and now he relies on his body to play with defense, but if he forces the attack, he can only take the Rockets to the pit together........

In Totoro's final game before his comeback, the Rockets moved to the Toyota Center to host the Toronto Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors have always been the league's best team, even if they drafted Chris Bosh before All-Star in the '03 draft, the Raptors still haven't changed the fate of years of weakness.

Take a look at the Raptors' starting five tigers, center Banjani from Italy is the champion of the 06 draft, Chris Bosh is stable and can contribute an average of 20+10 per game, and small forward Jason Capono is the champion of the new three-point competition, Shooting guard T.J. Ford is the fastest in the league with Allen Iverson and playmaker Calderon is a long-established and consistent veteran in Europe, and these are all high-profile players coming together, and the Raptors should be a strong contender for the championship on paper.

But this is not the case.

Banjani has proven himself to be a parallel commodity in less than three years, the Dragons' outside-based style of play can only stabilize his own statistics, but it does not help the team in any way, Capono is just a fixed battery, Tj. Ford has completely lost his spirituality after a major injury, Calderon is Paul, who has been weakened by two or three times, and if he is not equipped with the right players, he will not play a role at all.

is such a team, it is whoever wins, unless it is a rookie team like the Nets, Timberwolves, and Kings, it is difficult for rookies to peck each other to win, and other pseudo-strong teams that encounter a little bit are to accept the fate of defeat.

"The Rockets are a strong team, and it's unlikely that we'll take the win away from the Toyota Center."

"Yao is a very dominant centre-forward and we can't limit his scoring."

At the pregame press conference, the Raptors' main big man Bosh and head coach Deyi. Triano said very low-key, saying that they were unlikely to win the Houston Rockets, and that they had weakened their momentum before they even started.

'We're going to hold on to our home stadium and I know we've gone out of our way in the first two games, but I want to say that today we've got our form back and we're going to get a good win at home!'

'We've adjusted it so things don't happen again, a lot has happened in the last few games, and it's not a thing of the past.

On the other hand, Artest and Adelman showed a completely different spirit from the two people of the Raptors, and they vowed that the Rockets would win this game, and the Raptors didn't have to worry about anything.

Then, 20,000 Rockets fans witnessed their team being abused by the Raptors at the Toyota Center.

In this game, Artest really played as he said before the game, facing Capono, who was like a bamboo pole and a soft dog, the beast finally went on a killing spree, scoring a career-high 42 points in the game, almost winning half of the Rockets' games.

But why did the Rockets lose miserably in this game? Because opposite Bosh also scored 39 points, Banjani 12 points and 6 boards, T.J. Ford 21 points, Calderon 13 points and 13 assists.

The Raptors are only Cappano alone, but the Rockets are only Artest alone, how can the Rockets win such a matchup?

Then I have to ask why the whole team of Rockets is out of order? It wasn't because the heating wasn't on or the whole team didn't wash their hands, the problem was with Artest, who looked the best in the game.

Artest scored 42 points, but it took more than 40 shots, and the shooting percentage of 40 seemed to be passable, but he grabbed all his teammates' shots from the beginning.

Hold the ball by yourself, don't score, others pass the ball to him, he doesn't score, anyway, today's basketball is in his hands is a meat bun to beat the dog, there is no return, other players are doing back and forth running foil, the ball holding time is short, it's okay, once the time is long, how can the other teammates of the Rockets be in good shape?
