Chapter 998 Coquettish Schedule, Against the Mavericks
But no matter how good Brooks is, he is not the player who can decide the outcome of the game. With the Yao Mai combination and the new aid Artest pulling their hips together, it is impossible for the Rockets to have a chance to win at Staples. And Brooks has a lot of water in these 20 points. After all, the Lakers are very loose on his defense. Whether it is Fisher or Farmar, they are all relaxed and basically do not regard him as a big threat. In the end, the garbage time was still on the court, so the Rockets, the only player who reached 20, can only be regarded as a psychological comfort.
After the game, Ji Feng was even asked by the funny media about Brooks' prospects as a rookie.
"Uh... The performance is not bad, but the NBA can't be decided by a game. He still needs to continue to work hard." Ji Feng said it was very perfunctory. He even thought that the reporter had nothing to ask before choosing to ask. Brooks.
To be fair, this guy played like that. He scored 20 points, but threw 17 times, made only 38% of his shots, and made only one 3-pointer. These points are all piled up by the number of shots, if not The Rockets' main force is really too strong. Where can I get him to vote like this.
All Ji Feng didn't care about this guy at all. He always felt that Brooks was destined to lead the CBA, maybe one day he would become a famous legend.
And this 37-point fiasco also created the biggest point difference in a single game since the start of the new season. It is conceivable how huge this game was for Rockets fans.
After the game, the Houston media criticized the Rockets' big three who played super bad in this game, especially McGrady, who scored three points, and became the target of media criticism again. Disappointed star first.
Under such a fiasco, Dayao lost the mood to have dinner with Ji Feng. The two of them simply said hello after the game, and the entire Rockets left Los Angeles overnight.
Compared with the Rockets, the Lakers are really in a hot state now. They started with five consecutive victories and dominated the league table. Ji Feng scored 30+ data in three quarters again, which made all fans happy. Ji Feng also created a personal best. With the record of 30+ consecutive games, and Ji Feng continues to occupy the top position in the scoring list, CCTV has started to do programs again, and began to calculate how many consecutive games Ji Feng can get 30+ games.
Professional basketball commentators are more concerned about Ji Feng's transformation, because Ji Feng's strength is significantly stronger this season, as evidenced by 30+ consecutive points, which proves that Ji Feng's scoring ability is not only terrifying, but also gradually stabilized. This is the proof that the super giant has completed a gorgeous transformation.
And Barkley said bluntly: "Ji Feng didn't even use his full strength, those teams lost, and Kobe was the same. In the current league, there are really too few teams that can threaten this Laker."
And Barkley's words were soon proved a day later. After the Lakers played the focus battle with the Rockets, they flew to Texas overnight. They will face the Dallas Mavericks led by Nowitzki back to back!
This is another schedule for the Lakers to complain collectively. In the NBA, this kind of back-to-back home and away games is the most annoying schedule. There is no one. It is already early in the morning after the players get on the plane after a home game. It was around 4 o'clock, and the game started at 7 o'clock in the evening, and the Lakers players had less than 6 hours of rest time.
Fisher laughed and said that this kind of schedule is the one that you don't want to win.
I have to say, it's too TM right...
The outside world is generally optimistic about the Mavericks defending their home court. After all, the Lakers are exhausted. The Mavericks have rested for two days and are still at their home court. But his chances of winning are naturally relatively large.
Before the game, the Dallas media posted: "If this is all lost, then Cuban should quickly disband his team."
In fact, the Mavericks have undergone a reorganization this season. The meritorious coach Jr. Johnson finally sacked his get out of class in the summer. Cuban recruited a young coach, Carlisle, to replace Johnson's coaching position.
At the same time, the team's lineup has also undergone great changes. Harris, who played well at the end of last season, was traded to the Nets in exchange for the veteran and active triple-double king Jason Kidd. Guard Barea, and most importantly, the troika that the Mavericks depended on for a living was dismantled, and the small forward Howard was traded for Stackhouse and Gerald Green!
This also means that in addition to Nowitzki, Dampier and Terry, the peak calf has completely disappeared in history.
However, with Nowitzki there, this team is still a strong team, but Ji Feng always felt that something went wrong with their trade.
The most fundamental problem of the Mavericks is the center and point guard, which is also the fundamental reason why the Mavericks could not reach the top in the 2005-2006 season.
In the 2006-2007 season, the Mavericks made great progress all the way, taking the lead in reaching the playoffs with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses, and Nowitzki even became the regular season MVP with a brilliant performance of 24.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.
However, the unstoppable Mavericks in the regular season were created by the Warriors to create a rare "Black Eight Miracle" in history.
There are many reasons for this. Old Nelson knows the Mavericks like the back of his hand, and it is also the culprit that Nuo Tianwang cannot be hard at the critical moment. Harris was also to blame.
So they traded for Kidd and Barea, and yet...
In the old Nelson era, the Mavericks needed Kidd but not Kidd. The coach Carlisle was not good at hitting, running and bombing. He was a typical supporter of pick-and-roll tactics. It can be seen from the first few games that the Mavericks are struggling, and the most important thing is that Kidd is really old, and the years are not forgiving. This season, Kidd really can't run fast or jump. High, in the confrontation with the junior guards, he has been completely defeated, and he has become an uncompromising loophole in the team's defense. Of course, Kidd can still make a lot of achievements by relying on excellent experience, but it depends on how the coach uses him. Well, according to the current method, it is absolutely impossible.
The most important thing is that this guy Dampier is still there, so how can the Mavericks be okay? This 'the second middle peak of the West' gained at least 20 pounds in the summer, and there is only squirming left on the court. It can be seen that Dayao is like no one, and it is a bit wrong to say that it was a blast, because Dampier scored 2 points, and Dayao next door scored 26 points. This can only be said to be a violent beating of children.
However, in this game, facing the Lakers, the Mavericks still established confidence from top to bottom. After all, the Lakers are the team they want to beat the most, no one.
On November 11, the game between the two sides officially started at the Mavericks home!
