Chapter 315: He Said Again

On November 12th, the Rockets defeated the Grizzlies at home who were still aiming to swing badly, without the black and white heroes in parallel history, only relying on Mayo, Tabitt, Guy, Conley's group of grizzlies is not a climate at all, especially OJ Mayo, as the same year as Totoro and 4 picks higher than him Grizzly new core, Totoro used a game of 43 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists to completely teach Mayo to be a person, this once said that he looked down on himself before the draft, and everyone may have forgotten what he said at the time, But Totoro, who doesn't have a big heart, said he can't forget it.

Of course, although Totoro broke the scoring guard this time to play against Mayo all the way, in fact, he also humiliated all the other cores of the Grizzlies in disguise, because in the statistics after the game, the Grizzlies' four rising stars scored only 1 point higher than Totoro, only 7 more rebounds than Totoro, and 1 less assist than Totoro.

On November 14, the Rockets rushed to Satramento and defeated the Kings 124-101, which was also an easy + hand-to-hand victory, since the Kings were destroyed once by the Lakers + referees in 02, the Satramento people seem to have not come out of the shadow at that time, missing the playoffs year after year, and the rookies selected are also more than one who, this time they used the list to select Evans, who is known as the rookie with the strongest combat power, the most mature mentality and the most core image, But the Kings' upstarts, who performed well in the NCAA and Summer League, didn't lead them out of the quagmire, and Evans' sharp breakaways, strong finishing ability under the basket, combined with his physical advantage in the NCAA, made it shine in the lower leagues.

But what the Kings management didn't expect was that although the advantages of this product were bright, there were only these two tricks over and over again, the mid-range shooting ability was almost equal to 0, and the three-point line projection ability was negative.

In the first three games, because other teams didn't know much about Evans' strengths and weaknesses, they also let the "new king" rely on the European step to cut down about 15 points per game, but in a battle with the Rockets, Totoro put two big steps to break through the means directly let Evans hang zero in the half, and in the second half, he relied on a few free throws that he cheated during the time he got off the court to score 4 points, and Totoro can be said to have completely disgraced this list.

On Nov. 16, the Rockets flew to Los Angeles after another day off, having won seven straight games of the season before that, and this eighth game is the ultimate test of their winning streak, as they will face their Los Angeles Lakers, who suffered from last year's playoffs.

Coincidentally, the Lakers are also a wave of 7 consecutive wins, and one of the two teams will end their winning streak in the next encounter, and the Lakers are the only team that has beaten themselves in the preseason so far, this year the Lakers have also made a bloody investment in order to target themselves, there is a superstar in the team, two all-stars, two quasi-all-stars, no one is the opponent of these aristocratic lords in terms of luxury, it is said that the salary cap of the Lakers this year is nearly 1100 million, And this year's salary cap is actually only about $5,700, and the bottom line of the luxury tax penalty is $69.92 million, more than 70 million this figure, and every extra dollar spent will be fined one dollar, and the Lakers directly exceed 30 million, which means that the old Buss will call another 30 million for nothing, if this money is enough for the Lakers to sign another top star in the league at the level of James.

But the Lakers are so arrogant, in fact, in the final analysis, even if Buss pays more luxury tax, he himself will earn it, it's just a matter of making more and making less, as long as the Lakers still have Staples Arena, as long as the Lakers are still the symbol of Los Angeles, they will never be bound by money, and I don't know how many aristocratic lords are willing to buy their accounts in the City of Angels.

"They beat us in the preseason, but that doesn't mean anything, we didn't have a good run-in at that time, and we had a bad game, they just relied on the help of Lady Luck to win the victory, believe me, as long as we don't play 5 to 8 on the road this time, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers he led will still have to experience the taste of last year's Western Conference Finals."

On the pre-game talk cannon Totoro has never lost to anyone, seeing the Los Angeles reporter make things difficult for himself, he immediately took out last year's Western Conference Final to talk about things, and the black whistle that the blind man could see in the fifth game was naturally brought up by Totoro and whipped the corpse, of course, the Lakers did not admit that they had colluded with the three referees who had been imprisoned in private, in fact, they did not do anything, all of this was what Xiao Hua meant, but neutral fans and Rockets fans did not believe their explanation at all.

"Hehe, according to what he said, I think he just took shit luck last year, the finals magic is too weak, this championship was given to them for nothing, if we enter the finals, we will also be last year's champion."

My Neighbor Totoro's words were naturally passed on by the reporter to Kobe's ears, and the boss was angry at that time, and he didn't hesitate to scold Totoro in the air.

"He's actually a villain who only relies on his talent and teammates, without Yao on the inside to help him draw attention, he wouldn't have what he has achieved now, you know, the person I've always wanted to work with the most is Yao Ming, his power in the penalty area is the same as O'Neal, you see what I created when I worked with O'Neal? A three-in-a-row dynasty, and now this guy is just relying on Yao! ”

At the same time, he felt unhappy after the volute spray, and he continued to say a few more words, but his mouth did not go through the brain at all, first of all, the language contained words attacking Totoro, and he was fined $10,000 by the alliance the next day, and secondly, he expressed his dissatisfaction with his teammates, Bynum, Odom and Gasol were also very unhappy in their hearts, and finally they belittled themselves, so he and O'Neal cooperated as a case, wouldn't it be a change of direction to express that his three consecutive championships were also obtained by holding the thigh of the big shark?

At this time, the Celtics, who missed the first opening game with the Rockets due to injury this year, immediately grinned when he heard this scene, and he told his familiar media that this is the way it is, Kobe Bryant finally said a human thing, he was holding his Uncle Shaq's thick legs to get the three consecutive championships!
