Chapter 266: The warrior who copied the rocket died five small
Da Yao only played about 6 minutes in the first quarter of the game, and he had already completely beaten Davis, the thick eyebrow brother, to autism.
The defensive end is completely unable to form an effective defense, and the offensive end can only float on the outside to shoot is also doomed to low offensive efficiency, after all, although the thick eyebrows in this period have the ability to shoot from a distance, but they are not so stable, and a random player who assists in defense can effectively reduce its shooting rate.
The above result led to the fact that in these 6 minutes, Da Yao shot 6 of 8 and 4 of 4 free throws, cutting 16 points and 4 rebounds, while Davis, the thick eyebrow brother, shot 2 of 6 and 1 of 2 free throws, and only got 5 points and 2 rebounds.
Anthony Davis, the company's No. 1 offensive core, is still the same, not to mention Kemba on the outside. Walker and Oladipo too.
In the first quarter of the game, the Charlotte Hornets, who were burned by the Rockets, scored 37:24 in a single quarter, and they fell behind by 13 points directly, what suspense can there be in the subsequent games?
At 114:89, the Rockets defeated the Charlotte Hornets by 25 points at home to win the first win of the regular season, and it also proved with this game that it will take a long time for the Hornets' Charlotte Triad to really stand up in the league.
The Rockets, who defeated the Hornets, immediately started a wave of winning streaks that Rockets fans have become accustomed to.
On November 1, the Rockets beat the Dallas Mavericks 113-105 at home.
The Mavericks spent a lot of money this summer to poach Chandler from the Rockets. Parsons, with the original team's dual-core Harden and Nowitzki, who took a salary cut to renew his contract, has made a qualitative leap in overall strength.
But this lineup also means that the team has almost no defense at all, although Harden is not as completely free as he is in the Rockets, but he is still regarded by Dallas as the cornerstone of the team, and gradually develops the problems of big-name players, only attacking and completely ignoring defense on the court, and lingering in nightclubs, although Dallas is slightly lower than Houston in Texas, it is also a well-known metropolis in the United States, and the lights are not inferior to Houston, which is enough to make Harden stink everywhere every day.
Nowitzki's own style of play is also typical of the offense and defense. Not to mention Parsons, there is defensive positivity, but the talent is much worse.
Since the departure of center Tyson Chandler, the Mavericks' overall defensive ability has been greatly weakened, even if the offensive ability is strong?
In this game, Harden once again experienced the sour feeling of being taken care of by Leonard and Butler, while Chandler. Parsons was personally marked by Wang Chao, and as for Nowitzki, the Rockets' defensive strategy was to let him shoot.
Nowitzki, who is 37 years old, although he can still stand on the NBA court because of his style of play, his scoring explosiveness and stability are not as good as before, and he is no longer the king of Novitzki.
And that was exactly what happened, with Nowitzki hitting 11 of 24 shots and finishing with 28 points and eight rebounds without being defended, but he couldn't recover.
Harden scored 20 points on 7-of-19 shooting with Leonard and Butler under siege. Parsons is even more miserable, as a teammate in the past three years of rookie time, he knows too well how terrifying Wang Chao's strength is, Leonard and Butler have to be hung up by Wang Chao almost every day in daily training, many times he will secretly rejoice, thanks to Wang Chao never asked him to fight bull with him by name, that kind of pure abuse experience he didn't want to experience once.
Unexpectedly, he had just left Team Rocket, and he actually met Wang Chao.
When he saw Wang Chao staring at him with a wicked smile on the field, Parsons couldn't help but blurt out.
"Boss, hit lightly, I'm afraid it hurts."
Wang Chao: "......"
Chandler. Parsons is nicknamed Gao Fu Handsome, 2.08 meters tall, and his appearance as a white man is definitely responsible for his appearance in the NBA, where all kinds of demons and monsters are rampant, and he is slightly worse than Wang Chao.
However, Wang Chao's orientation is normal, he and Miranda already have a lovely daughter, how can they be so good?
As a result, Parsons scored just seven points on 3-of-11 shooting, the worst of the Mavericks' starters.
The Rockets, who defeated the Mavericks, went on to win on the road against the Utah Jazz on Nov. 2, the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 4 and the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 5.
Since Wang Chao came to the Rockets, the Rockets have started the new season with consecutive wins in four seasons, and the shortest winning streak is 5 consecutive wins, and this time is no exception.
The Rockets, who have won five in a row, will face the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers in their home game on November 7.
Time has passed, the Lakers are no longer the giant team they were back then, the Super F4 combination fell apart, and Kobe Bryant's serious injury season was reimbursed, so that the Lakers had a record of only 21-61 last season, in the bottom of the league, but this record did not win them the first pick, only got a seventh pick, and then used it to select power forward Julius. Randall.
Randle is a pretty good player and has the potential to be an All-Star in the future, but he needs time to grow.
The Lakers' current main lineup, after a year, finally returned from injury. Bryant, the Lakers snatched Jeremy Lin from the Knicks at a high price, Carlos. Boozer, Jordan. Hill and Jordan, who was drafted in this year's second-round pick. Clarkson.
How can this lineup be combative?
The Rockets' six-game winning streak came easily.
Kobe Bryant, who returned from a serious injury, was in the same state as in the original history, and his competitive state was like a high platform diving and rapidly declining, but he did not have the consciousness that he was old and no longer one of the top scorers in the league, and the result was that Kobe Bryant would shoot crazy every game and then hit the iron frequently, resulting in some games that the Lakers could have won all lost.
Since the start of the regular season, including this game with the Rockets, the Lakers have not won a single game, and have successfully finished at the bottom of the league with a 0-6 record, with a clear goal, and went straight to the top pick in 2015.
It's just that if according to the original historical process, after a season of hard work, the Lakers finally only got a pick, selecting point guard D'Angelo. Russell missed the top Towns, but even if they selected Towns, the result would not change much, until James and Davis joined the Lakers in the future, this team has always been the bottom team.
The Rockets' first loss of the regular season came in Game 7 of the regular season, when the team traveled to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Before the game, Da Yao chose to suspend the game for the sake of prudence because he felt a slight discomfort in his ankle.
As a result, the Grizzlies' interior black-and-white duo, Mark. Gasol and Zach. Randolph dominated the game, leading his team to a 107-102 victory over the Rockets.
The arrival of the first loss did not discourage the Rockets as a team.
The Rockets, who had just lost the game, followed suit with a 121-104 home win over the Raptors two days later, and then started a new wave of winning streaks.
From November 13 to the end of November, the Rockets have a total of 11 opponents, in order of 76ers, Knicks, Nuggets, Celtics, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Hawks, Nets, Jazz and Spurs.
Among these opponents, only one team is the Spurs, which is considered to be the stronger team.
But in fact, the strength of the Atlanta Hawks should not be underestimated, Budenholzer's second season in charge of the Hawks, this team has made a qualitative leap compared to previous seasons, the team around Horford, Millsap, Jeff. Players such as Teague and Korver have developed a well-established tactical system, with a 60-22 record in the regular season, second in the league behind the 67-15 Warriors.
In the playoffs, the Hawks also showed the dominance that the first place in the East deserved, all the way to the Eastern Finals, although they were a little embarrassed on the stage of the Eastern Finals and were swept away by the James Remnant Cavaliers 4:0, but they also stepped into the Eastern Conference floor, one of the only four strong teams in the league.
It's just that neither the Hawks, who have completed their transformation and are very strong, nor the Spurs, who play the role of the inner twin towers, failed to stop the Rockets' winning streak, and they were all defeated by the Rockets' iron horses.
At the end of the November schedule, the Rockets won a hearty 11-game winning streak, bringing their overall record to 17-1.
The performance of the Rockets is surprising, Da Yao has such a strong dominance in the field when his average playing time has been reduced to less than 20 minutes per game, and Wang Chao, Leonard, and Butler's three outside players can be said to have contributed a lot.
Wang Chao averaged 27 points, 10.5 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game in 18 games, which is still the standard triple-double per game, but compared with the previous two seasons, the data has declined slightly.
The decline in personal data does not mean that Wang Chao's competitive level has declined, but that he has allocated more balls to Leonard and Butler and others.
This is a matter of time, as I said earlier, the existence of Wang Chao will inevitably affect the performance of the players around him.
But this season's situation is slightly different, Da Yao's state has declined, and Wang Chao is destined to rely more on the strength of Leonard and Butler, after all, the two opponents this season, the Cavaliers and the Warriors are not easy to mess with, Wang Chao doesn't want to be available when he really needs his teammates to help in the playoffs, so in the regular season, he should give the two as many opportunities as possible to perform, build their self-confidence, and exercise their performance and combat effectiveness in actual games.
The result of appropriate decentralization is a slight decline in Wang Chao's average data per game, but in exchange for Leonard and Butler's data explosion.
In these 18 games, Leonard averaged 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 48.5% from the field and 38.6% from three-point range.
Butler also averaged 18.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, shooting 46.1% from the field and a slightly worse three-point shooting percentage than Leonard, only 34.7%.
The eye-catching play of the two swingmen made up for the loss of Da Yao's declining form, making the Rockets' offensive firepower as strong as ever, and one of the key factors for the team to win 17-1.
The strength of the Rockets can't help but make the media in the league sigh.
"The Rockets are always full of talent, and it seems that there is always talent that can emerge, and this is the capital that has been able to win two championships in the past three years!"
However, with an average triple-double of 27+10+10 and a record of 17 wins and 1 loss, Wang Chao was not selected as the Western Player of the Month in November.
The Western Conference player who won this award was Stephen of the Warriors. Curry, his average data per game is actually mediocre, 25.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists, if measured by the standards of other players, it belongs to a very good level, but it is obviously much inferior to Wang Chao's data.
But another blessing for Curry is the team's record.
The Warriors had a 15-1 record in 16 games until the end of November, and although they were below the 17-1 Rockets due to the number of games played, they lost just one game like the Rockets.
The team's results were comparable, and although the statistical performance was slightly inferior to Wang Chao, the league still chose to award the award to Curry.
As I said before, neither the local fans of the United States nor the league officials actually want to see the status quo of Wang Chao's family dominating and completely monopolizing all the honors in the NBA.
Last season, Wang Chao did not miss the Player of the Month award once, because his statistics were like a dimensionality reduction blow compared to anyone.
It can't be compared with the team's record, and it can't be compared with personal data, even if the league is unwilling to let Wang Chao win a second year.
But Curry and the Warriors successfully broke Wang's monopoly with the Warriors, and even if his stats are still not as good as Wang's, Curry's Player of the Month award doesn't seem as far-fetched as other Western Conference players.
And if the Rockets, whose lineup has shrunk greatly, surprised many people to be as tough as ever in the regular season, then the rise of the Warriors in the new season has really fallen through the glasses of a large group of fans.
No one expected that the previously unknown Warriors would suddenly get up without warning.
During the 15-1 schedule, the Warriors faced many strong teams including the Clippers, Spurs, Cavaliers, etc., but they all won the game.
New coach Steve Brown. Kerr has brought a lot of tactical changes to this team, the most obvious of which is the marginalization of Cousins' interior play.
Although he has a potential star who is expected to become the league's No. 1 center in the future, in order to implement a small-ball lineup with Curry as the core, Kerr still cut Cousins' playing time and tactical position, and vigorously supported Drummond, who sat on the cold bench last season. Green.
The results are outstanding.
The Warriors landed in the league at the beginning of the fifth year, and successfully replicated the super offensive ability of the Rockets' super five forward lineup last season, and Cousins also has a bit of the feeling of the Rockets' big Yao in the playoffs.
Such a combination of configurations similar to the Rockets' lineup has been a great success on the court.
