Legend of Tomorrow

The Suns lost to the Heat in the next game away from home, ending their winning streak. [ＷＷ.SuiMе

The Heat have strengthened their lineup by patchwork, and their overall strength is not bad. They are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Wade scored 5 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, Granger had 20 points and 7 rebounds, and Odom also had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Heat's point guard is Mario Chalmers, and Mayo is responsible for being the sixth man and leading the bench. After gaining possession of the ball in the second quarter, his performance was slightly better. After Odom joined, the Heat players cooperated well and the ball moved very quickly.

Riley not only introduced Granger and Odom to assist Wade, but also two defensive insiders, Louis Amundson and Jaylon Collins, and signed backup point guard Ronny Price on the outside.

The Heat's lineup has changed a lot, mainly because O'Neal Jr. jumped out of his contract. If he chooses to execute the last year of his contract, the Heat will have to rebuild in 2010, and now the time has been advanced.

O'Neal Jr., who joined the Hawks, made Nash miserable. He maintained good health with the Heat last season and produced good statistics. However, the Hawks only played 20 games before being reimbursed for the season due to a knee injury.

No matter how the future develops, James will not be able to go to the Heat, but Wade can join him to play brother basketball.

Guo Xu participated in the Christmas game against the Warriors at home. The two sides scored a high score of 142 to 127 in regular time.

The Warriors are not Robert's team yet. Owner Chris Cohan probably thought they could have a good record in the new season, so he didn't immediately sell all his shares. If a good record proves that the combination of Kobe, Curry, and Luol Deng is promising, the team can sell it for a higher price.

Unfortunately, the Warriors once again let Cohan down. Their overall offense is very powerful. They can pull out from the inside to shoot and can shoot from the outside. However, the defense is a mess, starting with 9 wins and 20 losses.

The team's new head coach is Little General Avery Johnson, which doomed the Warriors to tragedy. He brought over five sets of tactics from the Mavericks period, which were singles at positions 1-5. The good news is that the Warriors won't be any weaker because of this, because Mike Woodson has played like this before.

After Curry joined the Warriors, Barbosa could return to his familiar sixth man position, but the tactics were the same as last season. He couldn't perform well. The point guard dribbled the ball across the court and passed it to Kobe, opening up the opportunity. of.

The biggest problem for the Warriors is Elton Brand, who averaged 2 minutes per game, scored 16 points, 66 rebounds, 14 assists, 11 steals and 11 blocks, with a field goal percentage of 46 and a true shooting percentage of 512.

Brand's badness cannot be fully reflected in the data.

After two serious injuries, his speed became slower, his ability to defend pick-and-rolls became worse, and he could only resist people near the penalty area, and his ability to control rebounds became average due to his short stature.

David Anderson's defense is not as good as Brand's, and Steven Hunter's athletic ability has declined even more after returning from injury.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Turiaf joined the Warriors. Although he was a pure defensive blue-collar player, he at least played well in the defensive penalty area. After signing Brand, the Warriors can no longer sign an outstanding blue-collar big man, and their defense in the penalty area has a fatal weakness.

The Warriors win against teams that are bad at attacking in the paint. If the shooting hot spot is near the penalty area, the Warriors are basically in a dead end. After the big man cuts through the screen to catch the ball, they lose an average of 112 points per game.

Guo Xu didn't exert much effort in the Christmas game and scored 20 points and 24 assists. Stoudemire scored a game-high 45 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, while Gasol also scored 22 points.

Kobe scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 60, but he couldn't win if he couldn't guard against it. The opponent's shooting percentage was higher than his.

At the post-game press conference, Kobe expressed strong dissatisfaction with the team's defense. The cameraman captured Kobe giving Curry the death glare on the court.

Curry's defense in his rookie season was really not very good. When he played against the Bucks, he was scored 51 points by fellow rookie Jennings. The two faced off throughout the game, and Curry was passed by the opponent time and time again.

Because of his unruly personality and street-style extraordinary moves, Jennings was born out of nowhere and was called Iverson's successor. Curry was ridiculed as a parallel import prospect. People said that comparing him to Guo Xu was an insult. He only shot well, but could not break through, was not fast, and his defense was very similar to Guo Xu's unrestrained.

Some experts pointed out that Curry encountered resistance before the season even started. Kobe refused to talk to Curry in the locker room, giving the newbie an embarrassing start. The reason was that Curry expressed his unwillingness to join the Warriors in the summer. Like looking down on Kobe.

There are also many people who troll Kobe on the Internet, questioning his ability to lead the team and thinking that he is a cancer in the locker room. Kobe didn't communicate with Bogut when he came to the Lakers. He and his teammates were just acquaintances who just smiled and said hello. The relationship was not good enough to care about each other.

Some people are criticizing Kobe and saying that as soon as he leaves, Curry and Luol Deng will definitely not be role players who average less than 15 points per game, but will immediately rise to become stars.

Curry's statistics are much worse than Guo Xu's previous life, because he has to share the ball with his teammates.

Kobe averaged 215 shots per game, scoring 27 points, 54 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 456 from the field, 29 from three-point range, and 81 from the free throw line.

Luol Deng averaged 121 shots per game, Brand averaged 115 shots per game... Curry averaged 118 shots per game, all by grabbing, averaging 147 points, 41 rebounds and 52 assists in minutes per game, with a field goal percentage of 468. The three-point shooting percentage was 456 and the free throw percentage was 885.

Although Curry's true shooting percentage is close to 60 and his scoring efficiency is higher than Kobe's true shooting percentage of 545, he is only a rookie and the coach cannot give him more shots.

In stark contrast to Curry, James Harden, the No. 4 rookie currently leading the rookie list, has been extremely lucky since joining the Kings and was immediately established as the core outside line.

Harden also participated in the Christmas Day game, against the Clippers. He led the Kings to victory, starting with 17 wins and 12, and returned to the playoffs.

Harden averaged 72 minutes per game, scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds and 52 assists, shooting 426 from the field and 62 from the three-point range. His statistics are better than the rookie season of another James, and he has already locked up the best rookie.

During the interview, the reporter asked Harden why he had such a long beard.

Harden replied: This is the look that Jason Guo helped me choose. He said that growing a beard would make me more domineering and play better because of my appearance. I kept it for a year and a half, and it really worked.

It's strange that it's effective. When he went to the Thunder, he was a bench player. The coach arranged tactics and gave the ball the key.

Harden throws three-pointers very vigorously, and he is also very good in pick-and-roll tactics with Brook Lopez. Lopez has also made significant progress. He can make mid-range shots after receiving the ball, can make air cuts after pick-and-rolls, and can also use his body and footsteps in the low post to play singles.

Guo Xu's junior, Jason Richardson, swings at the 4th position. He can catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, and can occasionally play fast breaks.

The unlucky one is Kevin Martin, who is the sixth man to lead the bench, and the point guard is Benno Udrih.

Udrih is a heavy defender with excellent shooting. He usually passes the ball after passing half the court and waits for opportunities to catch and shoot. He rarely breaks through and only breaks out once when he is out of position. His scoring efficiency is not low.

Curry is very envious of Harden. He believes that if he joins the Kings, his performance will not be worse than Harden, but now he is burdened with the reputation of a defensive black hole. He is only at a disadvantage against speedy guards, and his height can interfere with shooting. It would be okay to swap him with Kobe to deal with Korver and Moreau.

However, fans all believe that Curry is a black hole because he looks like a primary school student...
