Chapter 268: The death penalty
In the face of the fierce Totoro, the Zen master has nothing too good to do, whether it is conventional or unconventional means, he has used it, but he just can't get the other party, so that when sending little Wharton to go, the Zen master specially instructed the other party not to be able to prevent it, as long as it is not fouled and not injured, it can be seen how aggrieved the coach is when this part.
And the Rockets' home court has long become a sea of jubilation, Totoro has broken Jordan's all-time scoring record, and as a player who made the playoffs in his rookie season, he has played so far to average points per game, rebounds, blocks and steals are all the records of NBA players in NBA history who have entered the NBA in rookie games. In their eyes, Totoro is a god, not to mention Oden and Durant in the same period, but looking at the NBA, there are only a few rookies who can compete with Totoro, and Jordan, the god of basketball, is not in the second ranks.
Mr. Joe was in the NBA after four years of polishing in the NCAA, and Totoro entered after his freshman year, although Mr. Joe also led the team to the playoffs in the first year, but it took three years to pass the first round, and it took seven years to win the championship, but he Totoro rushed to the Western finals in the first year, and this pace is unimaginable for ordinary people.
On the CCTV commentary seat at the home of the Rockets, Master Reasonable has praised all the words that can praise Totoro, I really can't think of words, so I will say the previous words again, and now Master Reasonable has no regard for whether he is reasonable or not, My Neighbor Totoro's half-godlike performance has completely conquered this old Chinese man who loves basketball, and Master Reasonable even feels that even if Totoro chooses not to return to Chinese nationality in the end, his love for Totoro will not be reduced in any way, To be able to win so many honors on the court with a fluent Mandarin and yellow skin, Master Reason already feels that he has set a weather vane for Chinese basketball.
And My Neighbor Totoro conquered more than just Chinese commentators and audiences?
The reporters in charge of commentating the game, Van Gundy Jr. and Mark Jackson of ABC TV, went through all the NBA historical records and couldn't find a single statistic comparable to the current Totoro.
There are several conditions that must be met to get a high score, first of all, you must be the boss of the team, otherwise you may not have so many opportunities, secondly, you have to feel explosive, otherwise you will not be able to score so many goals, and finally you must have a variety of offensive methods, otherwise the opponent is likely to strangle you to death and not let you score.
And Totoro not only met the above three conditions, but also made a 100% hit rate, Van Gundy and Jackson no longer know what words to use to explain this miracle, they feel that any adjective is pale for this feat of Totoro, and now it is more appropriate to kneel on the ground and bow to him twice.
"Jeff, do you remember this question I asked you before? If you're still the head coach of the Rockets and have a chance to take charge of this team, what heights do you think you can take them? ”
Swallowing his saliva, Mark Jackson felt that the two of them were so stupid to look at it and it was not such a thing, the director had already yelled at himself in the headset just now, for the sake of his only source of income after retirement, the legendary defender who was the third in the history of the assist list casually found a topic and asked Van Gundy.
"Don't talk about Mark, I'm now thinking about resubmitting the job application report to the Rockets' top management, Adelman won't develop Totoro and use Yao at all, if the Rockets can still hire me, I dare to promise to create a dynasty for the Rockets in front of the live audience, I'm not kidding, I'm serious!"
Van Gundy's words shocked Mark Jackson and all the viewers who watched the live broadcast in front of the TV, I still remember that Jackson asked Van Bald a few months ago this question, but he didn't answer like that at the time, Jeff Van Gundy modestly said that he didn't have the idea of being a coach, and praised Adelman for doing a good job during this time, this is the correct attitude of a dumped coach, people live in this world to save face, he was unilaterally announced his dismissal by the Rockets in May 07, and now it hasn't been two years, A person who has a little pharmacy face would not say like a pug in such a short period of time that he will go back to find a job, isn't this looking for someone to slap him in the face? Why has he changed so much now?
"Adelman will not grasp the timing of using Yao, will not reasonably allocate Yao's playing time, and cannot accurately position Yao, and the Rockets can play this stage this season completely by virtue of the player's personal ability, and it has nothing to do with him as a coach."
Seeing that his partner couldn't continue, Van Gundy simply started the performance by talking to himself.
And the Princeton system he has always admired is not suitable for the current Rockets, Totoro is indeed a big man who can pass the ball, but he is better at his pressing defense, look at the other components of the Rockets, Battier, Iguodala, David Lee, each of them is a player who is qualified to compete for the best defensive team, believe me, if you give me this Rockets team, I will definitely build them into an iron-blooded team, what is the playoffs fighting for? Isn't it defense? If I were still coaching this Rockets team, I would say that none of the teams we met in the playoffs would average more than 100 points per game, and that's a sure thing. ”
Van Gundy is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue, anyway, he said what he said before, and now he will not say anything that makes people feel amazing, but other fans think that Fan Bald's words do have a little bit of truth, everyone knows that he is a coach known for his excellent defense, if he really hands over the Rockets to him, maybe the other teams on the front line can really prevent other teams from taking care of themselves.
It's just that he is now speaking as a commentator, especially as the former head coach of the Rockets, it is very inappropriate to say these words, many melon eaters have prepared the bench and melon seeds to look forward to what will happen after the game, Adelman can't be unaware of Van Gundy's remarks after the game, and it is still very exciting for the two to tear up in the air at that time.
The commentary seat over there is still blowing, Totoro's great performance is not over, after the substitution, Totoro singled Wharton Jr. and lost two balls in a row, losing his 100-shot shooting rate, but it didn't make the Lakers players and fans happy for too long, Totoro, who adjusted his state in time, hit a three-point shot and two mid-range shots on Wharton's head one after another, and the Lakers' point difference that was not close to the score was even wider, and at the end of the first quarter, Totoro fought the whole game, with an astonishing 15 shots, but it contributed an astonishing 13 goals, and then counted free throws, My Neighbor Totoro scored 38 points in the first quarter and put Cameron on the ground. Anthony and George the Iceman. Gervin's single-quarter scoring record has risen by five points, and everyone in the Lakers who he played alone exploded, so how can they play in such a state of rebellion?
At the beginning of the second quarter, the situation was still one-sided, Totoro was replaced by Adelman to rest, but Yao Ming, who only played half a quarter, began to show his might again, and a physically energetic Da Yao was also incomprehensible, a small hook hand here, another mid-range shot over there, all the inside lines opposite Yao Ming felt that the other party was standing on the balcony on the second floor to shoot, as long as Da Yao received the ball, it was a score.
The two Chinese of the Rockets are you singing and I appeared, the scoring climax did not stop at the moment, halfway through the second quarter, when Totoro came on the court, the little giant alone scored 13 points and 5 rebounds, and the score gap between the Lakers and the Rockets also came to 12 points.
But what made the Lakers players even more desperate was that after a half-quarter of rest, Totoro's hand did not cool down, but he regained his physical strength and began to charge at the beginning of the game, relying on his strong physique and wind-like speed to continue to tear the Lakers' defense, and the Lakers, who were almost in foul danger, were rushed by Totoro within a few minutes.
In the end, Kobe Bryant really couldn't stand it, and stopped Totoro with a malicious foul, the first thing that Rockets players with a few years of experience thought of was not to rush up to help fight, but to quickly form a circle to wrap Totoro in it, they were not afraid that Totoro was wronged, but worried that he would accidentally beat Kobe Bryant, after all, Totoro's punch is not something ordinary NBA players can bear, right?
The referee looked back at the video, and finally showed a second-degree malicious foul and punished Kobe, and in the face of boos from the audience, Kobe angrily dropped his elbow pads and walked into the players' tunnel, and at the same time announced the death sentence of the Lakers in this game.
