Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

After the Rockets traded to Camby this season, they solved the problem of no one inside after Dayao was injured.

And with Camby as the main defense and Scola as the main offense, the Rockets played very well.

The current record temporarily ranks fifth in the West.

The overall level of the West this year is relatively high.

Except for the Lakers holding the top spot, from the No.2 Clippers to the No.7 Jazz, the difference in wins is no more than 3 games.

Therefore, the Rockets have the opportunity to rush to the second place in the West at any time.

Of course, it is also possible to be caught up by the sixth and seventh Nuggets and Jazz at any time.

Today they are facing the Clippers, the No. [-] team in the Western Conference. Naturally, they will go all out and strive for a victory.

Rockets coach Rick Adelman is bound to win today's game.

In his opinion, the records of the two teams are similar, and the natural strength gap is not big.

The Clippers were lucky to win a few more games because everyone didn't adapt to their style of play at the beginning of the season.

Now that their style of play has almost been figured out, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, the Clippers just finished an away game against the Spurs yesterday, and they came to Houston back-to-back today.

Add in Houston's Rockets Red home fans, and it's not just your usual passion.

Therefore, the right time, the right place, the harmony of people, and the rocket have all been taken.

But the Clippers are the same non-stick, what can he win?

Of course Yang Li knew this, but how could he easily admit defeat?

If it was another team, Yang Li might really just play it and let the players rest.

However, the opponent is the Rockets.

Their current general manager is the person Yang Li hates the most in the NBA, not one of them!

With Dayao absent and McGrady on the shelf, the Rockets can still rank fifth in the Western Conference.

Everyone said it was due to the operation of Xiaobai Fatty.

Especially Marcus Camby, who was traded from the Clippers.

This season, he averaged 10.8 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game.

It can be called the inside patron saint of the Houston Rockets.

After giving up Artest, Fatty Xiaobai signed Mike Miller with a price tag of 3 million in three years.

In this way, even without Yao Mai, the Rockets' lineup is very neat.

Take a look at the starting lineups of both sides:

c Serge Ibaka vs Marcus Camby

pf paul millsap vs luis scola

sf ron artest vs shawn battier

sg james harden vs mike miller

pg steph curry vs aaron brooks

The Clippers' lineup naturally needless to say, and the Rockets' lineup should not be underestimated.

Anyone who is familiar with the Rockets and NBA fans knows it.

Scola and Battier performed very well this year.

The point guard Brooks has improved significantly, winning the Most Improved Player of the season in one fell swoop.

Needless to say, Mike Miller is an outside shooter above the passing line.

Also on the Rockets bench are Carl Landry, Chuck Hayes, Chase Budinger, and...

Tracy McGrady.

Originally, even Yang Li thought that today would be a well-matched duel.

But after the game started, Yang Li realized that he was wrong.

Totally wrong!

Take a look at the Rockets' guard lineup.

Mike Miller is strong in offense and weak in defense, slow in defense and unable to keep up with others.

Aaron Brooks, who is only 1 meters tall, has a defensive ability... worrying.

As for Tracy McGrady, if he is at his peak, his defense will naturally be fine.

But now he has just recovered from a serious injury and is in poor condition.

Moreover, this year he has been put on the shelves by the Rockets.

He only played 7 minutes in each game, and the purpose was to test other teams without exposing his injury.

It can be said that the current Rockets have him 58, without him 40, there is no impact at all.

The entire game was too brutal.

To put it simply, the rocket completely built a platform for Curry to take off.

Not only the Clippers teammates helped Curry score, but even the Rockets actively cooperated.

In this game, the Clippers mainly focus on Curry, and there are mainly the following scoring methods:

Curry received a pass from Millsap and made a shot.

Curry received a pass from Harden and made a shot.

Curry singled Mike Miller for a field goal.

as well as......

Curry singled Aaron Brooks for a field goal.

The Rockets naturally refused to show weakness.

You have Curry and Harden, I also have Battier and Miller!

Although not as efficient as Curry and Harden, Battier and Miller combined for 10 3-pointers.

In addition to these two, Scola of the Rockets played this game like a duck to water.

To paraphrase the words of Mr. Zhang Weiping:

"It doesn't matter if it's Millsap or Ibaka, in front of Scola are the wooden stakes of two black sheep."

Scola's inside footsteps really made these two people completely stupid.

In this game, Scola alone scored 36 points!

Directly hit the masterpiece of Scola's career.

But who won this game in the end?

Of course the Clippers!

At the end of the game, the score was finally fixed on the Clippers 113:107 Rockets.

Curry's game was completely, completely crazy.

Except for the rest in the last 6 minutes of the second quarter, Curry played a full 42 minutes!

This game also broke the record for the longest playing time of his career.

Of course, compared with other records that Curry broke today, this record is not worth mentioning at all.

库里全场比赛45投22中，其中三分球28投12中，全场狂砍58分！

In the third quarter, he scored 8 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 30 points.

In one fell swoop, he broke several rookie scoring records of Jennings, and incidentally broke the records for the number of three-pointers made in a single quarter and the whole game!

Behind him are Ray Allen and Reggie Miller.

Although I didn't get 60 points today, this has reached the limit.

At the critical moment in the final stage of the fourth quarter, Curry made two free throws, allowing the Clippers to firmly maintain a 6-point lead.

So the Rockets gave up.

The opponent has given up, you can't hold the ball and rush up to the basket, can you?

Score points in garbage time, that's what dogs do!

What's more, the game has already been won.

Curry is not the kind of low-level guy who makes a series of disgusting operations for the sake of data.

Today's 58 points, plus yesterday's 44 points against the Spurs, Curry scored 102 points back to back!

This record directly ranks third in history.

The first two, one is Kobe Bryant's 110 points, and the other is Michael Jordan's 103 points!

In other words, it took Curry less than half a season to put his name together with the two best scorers in history!

Curry's performance today is much more shocking than the emergence of the Clippers.

For a time, the name Curry spread directly throughout the basketball world.

A new superstar has been born!
