Chapter 126 Competitive Sports Cuisine Is Original Sin

Being late and being blocked by his teammates, the Rockets' defensive pressure was immediately reduced a lot, and even Billups played on the offensive end many times.

Relying on the pick-and-roll cooperation with Yao Ming, Billups quickly scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, which connected the team's offense very well.

By the fourth quarter, the Warriors' offense still hadn't improved much. The players were still playing wildly, and the late players with the highest scoring efficiency basically couldn't catch the ball.

Pippen was extremely proud in the studio, and kept mocking him for being late and incapable of leading a team, and not qualified to be a real core.

Van Gundy has a lot of opinions on the Warriors' locker room issue, thinking that the Warriors' players have delayed a real super scorer.

In the end, the Rockets beat the Warriors 108:83 at home by 25 points.

Late, who was expected to be high, got 23 points, 1 rebound and 0 assists - all his points came from the first half. As long as fans who have watched the live broadcast of this game know, Late basically never received the ball in the second half. , just playing soy sauce on the pitch.

In the post-match press conference, Nelson was very relaxed, saying that the team is still in the running-in period, and the Rockets were the championship champions last season after all. Yao Ming's deterrence in the penalty area cannot be ignored. It is very difficult for the Warriors to defeat the Rockets. These are all arguments discussed in advance with Late.

A reporter asked about the atmosphere in the Warriors locker room: "Dear Mr. Nelson, we noticed that today he was late and rarely received passes from his teammates. It seems that the relationship between him and his teammates has not been handled well. Is this today? The key to the Warriors' loss?"

Old Nelson is so old-fashioned, and he said in a high-sounding way: "No, I think the atmosphere in our team's locker room is very good, and everyone has no conflicts. It's just that I have some problems in tactical arrangements. Trust our team. It will be on the right track soon. Harrington and Jackson are not in good form today, but this is normal. After all, the season has just started, and they have not yet fully entered the state. We still have a long time, one or two games There is no need to worry about winning or losing."

He kept saying that the outcome of one or two games is not critical, but he mentioned the status of Jackson and Harrington at every turn, which obviously meant something.

The reporter asked Late again: "Excuse me late, today you had a great touch and scored 23 points in only halftime. Why did you hardly take any shots in the second half?"

Late shrugged: "The coach has already said this problem. It is the team's tactical arrangement. The Rockets have a very complete defensive system. They have a very tight mark on me, which makes it very difficult for me to score. So we must start from Breaking the Rockets’ defensive system in other places, so that I can get easier scoring opportunities. It’s just because our teammates are not in good condition, our tactical goal has not been achieved, please don’t think too much, there is no conflict between us.”

Believe you are a ghost, scored 16 points in 23 minutes in the first half, and the defense is still tight?
Jackson and Harrington had nothing to say on the side. Although they defeated late in the locker room, their performance on the court today could not convince the fans.

The Rockets are very supportive of lateness, and Tom Thibodeau is very face-saving: "Lady has now mastered the technique of breaking through with the ball, which makes it more difficult for us to defend him. In fact, not long after the opening, Chauncey (Billow) Puth) asked me to double-team late, I didn't agree with him, and it paid the price, late scored 23 points in only the first half. Fortunately, we took the lead in the second half, and In the end, he won the game, but I believe that late this season will definitely become the best scorer in the league, and he has the opportunity to compete for the scoring champion this season."

Yao Ming also said: "No one knows lateness better than me. We basically trained together this summer. His ability to break through with the ball has grown from scratch. I have also witnessed it with my own eyes. He used to be with me. When I was on the team, he was my most trustworthy teammate. Now that I am an opponent, he has become the most difficult super scorer to defend. All this is really like a nightmare, but fortunately today we got With victory, today I can go back and have good dreams."

Regarding the reporter's question about whether there is a problem in the Warriors locker room, Yao Ming chose to talk about him: "He just joined the Warriors late, and he is not familiar with his new teammates. Everyone's cooperation is not tacit. Inevitably, I believe that as long as they are given some time, they will adjust."

The media reporters are all monkey-like characters. Although they failed to get a definite answer, this does not prevent them from using their brains. At worst, they should use more question marks, such as "guess" and "suspect" when reporting news.

The day after the game between the Rockets and the Warriors, there were a lot of news media reporting that there might be a huge problem with the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room.

Some media even said that after joining the Warriors late, because of insufficient qualifications, they could not hold back the team's locker room. The old Warriors players headed by Stephen Jackson were not convinced that they were late and became the team's boss.

Seeing such news reports, the most worrying thing is undoubtedly the Warriors fans.

I thought that with the most terrifying three-point shooter in the league, the team I supported would rise immediately.

As a result, there was another conflict in the locker room. I'm afraid the team's record won't improve this season.

The results of the media investigation are quite surprising. There are only a few fans who support the late arrival. They are not optimistic that the late arrival can regain control of the Warriors locker room. , has guessed something.

At this time of internal and external troubles, if Harrington and Jackson can lead the team to victory, they will definitely be able to consolidate their status in the locker room.

But their strength is obviously not up to this level. In the following games, the Warriors lost consecutively to the Kings, Raptors, Supersonics, and Jazz. It should be possible to beat these teams.

On November 2006, 11, the Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers in an upset - this year's Trail Blazers have a lot of rookies and are a completely rebuilt team. In the first six rounds, they only won one game , This game against the Warriors is their second victory.

Late played steadily in this game, scoring 25 points in the half, helping the team gain a 14-point lead in the first half.

In the second half, after Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington and others came on the field, the team's lead was slowly wiped out by the Blazers. The lateness was still the same as in the previous games, basically unable to receive the ball, and unable to provide the team with Steady firepower.

After the game, the local fans in Auckland were blown away!
After the third round of the game, some careful fans have discovered that the Warriors' substitutions have a certain pattern, and they will be more late in the first half with Grant Hill, Roy and Milicic.

After the second half, it was the turn of Jackson, Harrington and others to perform.

In competitive sports, cooking is the original sin, especially when there is a very clear contrast, this original sin is greatly magnified.

Jackson and Harrington became clowns, and they were at the forefront of the most unpopular player selection held by the Oakland media recently.

The problem of contradictions in the Warriors' locker room has long been exposed by the media. Jackson took the lead in being late, and some media broke the news.

This led to a sharp decline in their support in the hearts of local fans. Coupled with the poor record of the team, they often led their teammates to take the lead at halftime late, and then Jackson and Harrington output the score, which eventually led to The Warriors lost, making some radical Oakland fans even make radical moves.

At the press conference at the end of the game against the Trail Blazers, fans broke into the room, threw shoes at Jackson and Harrington, and yelled at them to get out.

Although the radical fan was finally invited out by the security, but the embarrassment of Harrington and Jackson was still captured by the media.

Facing the verbal criticism from the media and the unscrupulous abuse from the fans, Harrington and Jackson were under great psychological pressure.

The first one who couldn't bear it was Murphy. In the team's daily training on the second day after the end with the Trail Blazers, Murphy clearly showed conflicts with Jackson and Harrington.

Although it is not clear that he is on the late side, at least he has begun to lean toward neutrality.

There are also fans on the Internet discussing this wave of internal strife in the Warriors. Some people cited the data comparison between Late and Harrington Jackson.

Late was extremely efficient in the first half, averaging 14-15 shots per game, and was able to score 25+.

This is just the scoring average in the first half. If it is converted into the whole game, he can even score 50+ in a row?

Although this is just a guess that cannot be verified, it undoubtedly greatly stimulated the fans of the Warriors.

The team's management couldn't sit still, and went to talk to old Nelson, asking him to give more ball rights to the late players.

Old Nelson immediately announced his intention to be late, and after some hesitation, the management chose to accept the late proposal.

On November 11th, the Warriors challenged the Pistons away. This was the No. 14 team in the league in the regular season last season, and its strength is not weak at all!

At noon on the day when the game started, McGrady, as the host, invited Late to have a meal together, but the guy didn't give the money and ran away after eating.

In order to avenge McGrady's revenge, he was late and scored 53 points in a single game, leading the Warriors to easily defeat the Pistons 123:89.

The Warriors can play so easily, relying entirely on late perfect play.

With his precise three-pointers, the Pistons had to expand their defense, and his European step breakthrough combined with three-pointers made it impossible for the Pistons to limit him. They had to double-team him, so other Warriors players They can often get easy shots. They made 23 of 14 three-pointers in this game.
