Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 855: [Odds of winning, season surprise]

In Guo Xu's previous life, LeBron James of the Cavaliers won the MVP in the regular season in 2009 and achieved the best record in the league with 66 wins.

In this life, James has already won an MVP, and it is difficult for him to lead the team this season. If it is only the first place in the East, there will be huge controversy for James to win the award. The judges can say that the Sun Stars form a group. Is n’t the Cavaliers?

After Mo Williams joined, the Cavaliers formed an offensive trident, not the Big Three but suspected of having a group, their total salary this season reached 91 million US dollars, second only to 96 million Knicks ranked second in the league, last season Fourth place.

Looking at the Suns, two top salaries and one middle class, the rest are low-paid players, with a total salary of $ 51 million. Roy was selected to the Western Conference All-Star last season, but it was the rookie the Suns selected to train.

In terms of salary comparison between the two teams, the Cavaliers can't get the best record to give MVP to James, he must be the president's father.

The other team in the East that may have the best record is the Celtics. The Big Three teamed up to share the ball. Each player averaged less than 15 shots per game, and the score of 20 points will not be higher.

Yao Ming didn't shoot many shots on the Rockets. He didn't gain as much weight as he did in his previous life. He averaged less than 35 minutes of playing time. This season is only 33 minutes. Playing style, Yao Ming maintains a good health, but his data is not very good, averaging about 20 points per game.

Yao Ming ’s weakness has always been physical fitness. His body is destined to consume more than others. He played the finals last season and played the Olympics in summer. With such a high-intensity game, Guo Xu feels that he is lucky if he is not injured this season. . The Rockets coaching staff apparently thought of this too, strictly controlling his playing time.

This season Guo Xu does have a good chance of getting MVP. As long as his statistics are almost the same as last season, the league must consider the ideas of 6 billion fans.

ESPN live streamed the game, and the narrators were former Rockets coaches Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson.

Before the start of the game, Jackson teased Van Gundy about the fact that he couldn't coach the Rockets in the first round.

Van Gundy has been a narrator for three years, watching more fast-paced games and admits that he had a problem with his coaching ideas. "Yao Ming is in a good shape now. It will be difficult to keep up with the rhythm if heavier. Jason Guo changed the NBA, and the insiders are now starting to pull out threes. What do you think of Mark?

"If I enter the league 20 years later, I should be more relaxed." Jackson sighed.

Jackson is a famous point guard in the NBA. He entered the league in 1987 and scored 13.6 points and 10.6 assists in his rookie season. He was elected as the best rookie as a second-round rookie. He was still able to practice a three-point point guard, but it was not popular in that era to shoot three-pointers, so he made fewer shots.

Even in a time when he was n’t fit for his style of play, Jackson ’s career was very successful, with 10,334 assists in the regular season, ranking third in NBA history. Currently, only Stockton and Kidd are ahead of him. . He averaged eight assists in the regular season and ranked 17th in history.

After the players from both sides played, Guo Xu and Yao Ming greeted a few words in Chinese, first salute first. The core of the two teams is not the kind of people who rely on staring people to show their desire to win, so they rarely get angry when they play against each other.

Gasol Jr. started again today, and the other four are Guo Xu, Morrow, Roy and Stoudemire.

Against high centers, flesh shield is an indispensable choice. The Sun chose Gasol Jr. to replace Valecho forbidden zone. He can put Yao Ming out of the penalty area, and if Stoudemire plays center, his height and weight are too bad.

Rockets starter: Billups, Afraro, Prince, Scola, Yao Ming.

Yao Ming won the ball and the game began.

Billups received the ball and passed the half, Yao Ming pulled out of the middle to play a pick-and-roll. Guo Xu quickly responded and then evaded the cover to pursue the defense. Billups took the left pass to the middle.

Stoudemire went out and interfered with the shot in front of Yao Ming, while Gasol Jr. defended near the penalty area. This two-tower hybrid defense was specially arranged by Thibodeau to give play to their respective strengths.

Yao Ming didn't have a chance to shoot easily and scored the goal to Prince on the right.

Prince has a height advantage against Roy. If he singles, the Sun's defensive pressure will be reduced a lot. He belongs to any city, the kind of person who has no tricks, and defends the strong attacking weak player.

Prince's desire to attack has not been strong, taking a one-step pass to Scola.

Scola took the ball and crossed the face frame, but failed to pass Little Gasol. He leaned back and turned to the middle of the road. The movement was very smooth, but Little Gasol did not jump or lost his position, and raised his arms. interference.

Scola's right-hand throw to avoid the block and the ball missed.

The meat shield center can block interference in front of the opponent, which is their advantage. Gasol Jr. has encountered a lot of footsteps in Europe. Scola is also a technique developed in Europe. He has encountered opponents.

Stoudemire grabbed a rebound and launched a counterattack. Guo Xu led the ball towards Billups. The center of gravity was very low. When he quickly collided, he reversed the speed and broke through. Billups defended against the loss of snacks, and the retracement speed was slow. If he withdrew too late, Guo Xu could stop and grab a three-pointer.

Guo Xu rushed to the inside after rushing, before Yao Ming ran back to the basket and made a three-step layup. 2 to 0.

Van Gundy sighed: "His speed is too fast, the backcourt is a few seconds into the basket, Billups can't defend alone."

Jackson said: "As long as Jason wants to score, no one else can defend."

The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming went to the right and asked for the ball to pick up Gasol, who was pushed outside the penalty area.

Don't look at Gasol Jr., in fact, he is an excellent immediate combat force. His game experience is much richer than that of Jordan, which can make up for the lack of athletic ability to a certain extent. D'Antoni will send him when he needs anti-stars. He needs to strengthen his rebounding and fast break before considering Jordan.

His strength is not small, but the explosive force is poor, it does not matter if he does not jump on the defensive end. He leans on 216CM height and the 230CM wingspan can still interfere with the shot.

Compared with Pau Gasol, Yao Ming's 220CM Tyrannosaurus Reach is a tragedy.

Yao Ming leaned back twice and couldn't move. He turned to the bottom line and missed a jumper. Gasol Jr.'s defense was in place and almost interfered personally. Gasol Jr. can't block, Yao Ming can score by feeling ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ This time, he didn't grasp the handle well, and the distance from the basket is a bit far away.

This is where the value of Gasol Jr. lies. There is a clear gap between Yao Ming's mid-range shooting and two-point shooting from close range.

Gasol Jr. scored a rebound and it was easier to find his teammates without jumping and turned to Roy not far away.

Roy launched a fast break with only one step and was blocked by Avraluo, unable to advance quickly, Guo Xubai ran away.

Avraluo is a surprise for the Rockets this season. He is very defensive and has a better three-point ability than Sefolosha. He can average 1.4 goals per game and has a 40.9% shooting rate.

When Aflaro, Billups and Yao Ming form a triangle on the strong side, it is difficult for opponents to trap the low post. Last season they could empty one of Prince and Safrosha to trap Yao Ming. Neither COSCO's investment is good enough.

Old Nielsen prefers to fight offense. Last season, in order to strengthen the offensive outside line, he spent a lot of time playing double guards, and Sefolosha played less time. Afflalo has made progress this season. The Rockets began to consider trading out Sefolosha after the end of the season. It is difficult for him to stay and renew.
