Chapter 197: Match-fixing
The Rockets won and the Trail Blazers lost without suspense, and this game made all fans know that the Trail Blazers obviously did not have the strength to compete with the nascent Rockets, and yesterday's victory was just a beautiful joke played by Lady Luck.
The rumors of the second match-fixing game were gradually broken by fans, the difference in strength between the two is not a grade at all, even if the Rockets are in bad shape, they will not lose to the Trail Blazers, and then think about the difference between the two teams that day, it is strange that there is no ghost in it.
However, those fans did not point the finger at Totoro and their Rockets, but aimed their firepower at the gambling company and the league's top management, according to their understanding, these things are only capable of being promoted by these bigwigs, the league is doing this to increase the ratings of the game, and the bookmaker is naked to make money, no matter what kind of game, as long as it is related to competition, these phenomena are inevitable, strong teams and weak teams always have 3 so one or two "upsets", and fans with a lot of experience know what is going on.
However, the players are innocent in their eyes, and they are also victims under the policies of those big guys, which makes David Stern and the owners of those bookmakers miserable, this is really not planned by them, but Totoro They talked to themselves, but they can't escape this black cauldron.
The Lakers are also warming up like the Rockets, Kobe Bryant is very much like Nowitzki in the last game, and he scored 54 points to give the Lakers a shame, and at the same time showed that even if he is in his 30s, he is still the one with the strongest scoring ability in the league, Pau Gasol also swept away the previous decline, although he still couldn't prevent the German tank, so that the opponent won 34 points and 9 boards, but he himself also cut 26 points, 12 boards and 8 assists, and the Spaniards at least let their data fill the losses caused by the Germans to the Lakers, This kind of offsetting approach has Lakers fans said it is acceptable.
However, he confirmed the fact that he was playing match-fixing in the last game, and if Gasol could produce a quasi-triple-double in the second game as he does now, they would not lose the second game, and those loyal Lakers fans would not have lost a wave of blood.
And I don't know if the German tank is too rebellious this year or Gasol's defense is too parallel, Lakers fans vaguely remember in last year's finals, Gasol's 33-year-old Garnett who specializes in defense has cut down an average of 23.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 assists per game.
Look at the 32-year-old Dek Nowitzki, the first round has only played a total of three games so far, but the old driver scored 110 points alone, an average of 38.4 points per game, this performance is absolutely historic, the German tank is like this and does not win, purely because the Mavericks are too vegetable, and the Lakers also have a Kobe Bryant, otherwise if they are changed to other teams in the playoffs, even Totoro himself does not dare to guarantee that they can beat their opponents under the premise that the Germans average 40 to 40 points per game.
Gasol himself is an undoubted All-Star, but his defense is always like always existing to fulfill those real superstars, who breaks out, and the volute has been a little unpleasant to his sister-in-law recently, logically speaking, the Lakers have three highs in the league, and the interior defense should be solid, judging from the current statistics, the Lakers no matter which team they play against, the proportion of points lost on the inside line is 50%-55%, and when it comes to the powerful inside, this proportion may reach about 70-80%, The shooting rate of interior players is more than 50%, which is not the result that Peter Pan wanted before, the reason why he wants to find a helper is to win a few more championships when he is still at his peak, but if the helpers he finds are soft sisters-in-law, or stupid Bynum, the Lakers are unlikely to win the championship.
The east is still a slaughter without suspense, if Nowitzki is a superstar who suddenly broke out in the west under the oppression of adversity this year, then the Zhan Huang in the east is a superstar who is crazy to go to the data in good times, in the face of the mediocre bobcat, Wallace, who was beaten into a lung atrophy by Bynum in the chest, can't stop the footsteps of the little emperor at all, and the final score difference between the two teams in three games is more than 15 points, James is a person who averages 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game with an average triple-double data.
Howard, the star of the Magic team, is also in a similar situation, Warcraft faces the Raptors with an average of 22.4 points and 15.6 rebounds per game for a big double-double, although the inside technology of this happy beast is still rough, and the scoring is basically by turning around to dunk, make up the basket and relay in the air, but the Warcraft at its peak is indeed a headache, with great muscle density and extremely perverted explosiveness, many times even if others know that Howard is going to turn around and dunk, there is no way to stop it, not to mention the Raptors' two weak chickens inside, in addition to Warcraft, Turkey Turkoglu also performed well in this year's playoffs, taking advantage of the huge destructive power of the peak Warcraft on the inside, the Turks have developed all their organizational talents in the playoffs, So far, he has averaged 17.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game, and now the Magic team's lineup is basically a trident, Turkoglou controls the team's ball allocation, point guard Nelson is responsible for charging, Warcraft Howard dominates the interior, Mr. Billion and Redick three-point line ambush, one as a fixed-point battery and the other as a mobile battery, in the face of the multi-faceted three-dimensional impact lineup of Big Van Gundy, many teams are helpless.
The first round of eight teams is over, followed by the second round of the battle between the four teams, the NBA's rhythm in the playoffs is so tight, if you want to rest, you must solve the opponent faster than the opponent, otherwise this is a physical test for some teams with an aging age structure.
That's what the Celtics and Spurs think, and the big three that are the cornerstone of their teams are all old men with an average age plus one plus more than 100 years old, so they need more time off than other teams.
The Jazz and Nets are not in their consideration, Yan Rivers and Popovich are both eyeing their opponents in the second round, the Green Shirts will face the Magic nine times out of ten if nothing else, and the Holy City will face the challenge of the Rockets, these two teams are not easy to do, and they are now a three-game win, a two-win and a loss, and it doesn't seem that they will be entangled for a long time, which requires them to win the game as soon as possible.
But the NBA is such a magical place, today the two old teams aiming to win on the road all lost the game, the Spurs were killed by the Jazz is a bit surprising, but it is also expected, because the Jazz was originally a strong team of regular visitors to the playoffs, at home, the Spurs can use their more experienced and more mature tactical system to defeat the Jazz who only know how to rely on muscle defense, but when it comes to the road, the referee estimates the home court advantage of the Jazz, but it is necessary to turn a blind eye to the small actions of the Jazz players.
Boozer hung behind Duncan throughout the game, as long as Shi Buddha received the ball, the anti-bone boy would go up and down, either pinching people's buttocks or pinching people's waists and eyes, and the good-tempered Duncan was tireless, and the French sports car Parker was even more unlucky, in the first quarter, when he made a layup, he was knocked to the ground by Deron Williams, who was taller and stronger than him, and covered his feet naked for a long time without getting up, and finally was carried down by the team's medical staff on a stretcher. This game was never played again.
DeLong only paid the price for a technical foul once, and the old man Popovich immediately quit and stood on the sideline and roared at the referee. Weeks immediately sent Bobo off mercilessly with two yellow cards, and the Spurs lost their engine and coach in the first quarter.
However, the people of the Holy City are not so easy to bully, Shi Buddha and Ginobili stepped up at the beginning of the second quarter, four times with their backs to attack Boozer, and the last time they carried the other party to complete the dunk into a wonderful two-and-one, and the Pampas Eagles hit three points from the outside, and the two worked together to erase the team's 10-point deficit in one go.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Jazz team saw that the situation was not right, and immediately made a bad move, the Argentine demon knife was deliberately put down by Kirilenko in a serpentine break, although Mano's injury was not large, and he was able to go off the court independently, but the Spurs lost another big man in this game.
Such an obvious foul, the referee still only gave AK47 a technical foul, Spurs fans dare not speak, the Holy City today do not know how many players smashed their own televisions, but no matter how angry they are, they can't change the outcome of this game.
The assistant coach of the Spurs was finally worried that the only remaining and most important cornerstone of the GDP would fall again, so he cautiously replaced Duncan, which was considered to be an early abandonment of the game.
After the game, the Spurs issued a strong protest to the league, and after the game, this Toja was also suspended by the league, but the Spurs still lost, quietly leading the Jazz with a 2:1 advantage.
The NBA once again fell into verbal criticism, if the Rockets were in poor shape in that game, and the Lakers lost that game because Dick Nowitzki was too rebellious, then the Spurs' loss was the hand of a complete referee, and the very inconsistent refereeing scale on both sides of him determined the game, and the NBA has always advocated that the player should be the one who dominates the game, but the third game between the Spurs and the Jazz clearly violated this bottom line.
David Stern has been busy recently, this situation is definitely not what he wants to see, and the Spurs and Jazz's punishment in this game is definitely not instructed by him, this is obviously someone who wants to get himself down, and it should be someone at the top of the league, because in this way, no matter who does it, the first to be unlucky is always the mask of his league, and if he is forced to step down, who will be the most instructive, the answer is self-evident.
Speaking of this turmoil, the initiator is actually Totoro himself, but he never imagined that a little butterfly of his own could cause such a big turmoil, this situation is definitely not what he wants to see, according to his conscience, David Stern's godfather is not bad for him in all aspects, compared to Xiao Hua, who discriminates against the Chinese, Totoro wants to let his godfather be in charge of the alliance for a longer time.
But who knows that he just wants to make a little extra money with his teammates, and someone with a heart takes the opportunity to make trouble and deliberately stretches out his hand in the back to make this matter bigger.
But this is also an open and secret battle between their top management, not to mention that Totoro has just risen this season, even James and Kobe, who are still famous, will not speak out or participate in these things, players are always players, even if you are as strong as Jordan, you can't participate in the battle between management.
If the Spurs' loss is a victim of the league's high-level struggle, then the Green Shirts' loss is destiny, and in today's battle with the Nets, the Nets' Yi Jianlian, Harris and Lopez, the East Big Three, played a famous battle, and the three of them combined to score 74 points and kill last season's defending champion by 3 points.
The Green Arrows were the worst of the three, shooting 6-of-12 in the whole game, cutting 18 points and 6 rebounds, although this data is not outstanding, but considering that the defense of him is the historic PF Garnett, and the Wolves only scored 24 points and 10 rebounds, the UAE can be rated 9.5 points in this game.
Harris still beat Rondo, scoring 40 points alone, tearing the entire Green Shirts defense to pieces,
Although Lopez is a first-grader, he relied on his height and long arms, excellent skills, and excellent psychological quality, and he forced 16 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists on the heads of the big baby Davis and Perkins, which made this first-grader famous all of a sudden.
There are even statements on the market that Lopez is actually a rookie at the same level as Totoro, but this is not surprising, the NBA is such a place, a good game can make people famous overnight, there are countless examples of this, not to mention that he cut off the head of the green shirts in the playoffs, it is simply golden.
Pierce was still steady, with 26 points and 5 rebounds, and Ray Allen also scored 19 points on 4-of-4 three-pointers, but in the final stage, Yi Jianlian made a three-pointer, Harris made a quick layup and Lopez made a key block to seal the win for the Nets, and the Little Big Three won the Big Three head-on for the first time!
