The invincible kryptonite of basketball

He took off his training clothes, did a few warm-up moves, and then started suicide training.

13, very relaxed feeling.

15, at least a little bit hard.

17, can still persist.

18, feeling a little breathless.

19, I have to grit my teeth and persist.

20!

He did a full 20 before he felt that he couldn't go on!

Incredible data, this is simply abnormal!

Now he suddenly remembered what Kobe once said: Young people today don't know how strong Iverson is!

There is only one man who can be described by Kobe with such an evaluation!

And both Wade and Paul have mentioned in public more than once that the reason they chose No. 3 is because of Iverson!

Many data emperors now use data to evaluate Iverson, saying his inefficient scoring methods.

But as Stevens said, the person who has played against each other has the most say.

This skill is actually a kind of proof!

Chapter 935 McGrady Explains the Pelican War (Second Update!)

The next game for the Pelicans is against the Rockets, tomorrow.

Stevens scheduled daily practice for today's offseason.

When the team members came to the training hall, the excited Tang Tian had practiced for more than two hours and was covered in sweat.

Although there was a reason for the last loss to the Warriors, Tang Tian's attitude of training in advance infected his teammates.

Although the last game attracted much attention, it was just an ordinary regular season after all.

But Tang Tian's attitude after losing really encouraged them.

The NBA season is very long, and external factors need to be continuously stimulated during the long season in order to maintain a high level of competition.

Tang Tian was a good stimulus for them today.

After the training session started, the players were quite active and excited.

Tang Tian's thoughts were all on the newly acquired legend, and he didn't notice the state of the team members at first.

When he found out about the confrontation in the audience, although he didn't understand the reason, he felt a burst of joy.

Harden's recovery, coupled with the improved performance of Cousins ​​and Paul under the new penalty scale, the current Rockets really have a taste of the Super Big Three.

In other words, the Rockets are no worse than the Pelicans and Warriors now.

With such an attitude before the game, the Pelicans have a greater hope of winning.

In the afternoon, the Pelicans arrived in Houston on a short-distance flight, preparing for the Pelicans battle tomorrow night.

Last season because of D'Antoni, the attention of the Pelicans War was second only to the Pelicans War, and the two teams also played against each other in the second round of the playoffs.

The Rockets won a game against the Pelicans. If it weren't for the referee's relationship in the finals, they and the Cavaliers were the only two teams to win a game.

As the fans said in the playoffs last season, the Rockets were the biggest winners in last year's playoffs.

But this season, the Rockets' bench strength has increased, especially the Rockets' recent ten-game winning streak, the longest in the season, has swelled their ambitions.

The next morning, the Rockets conducted an open training session, and Cousins ​​was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines after training.

When asked what he thought of the night's game, Cousins' answer was very crisp.

"We will win, we have no reason to lose games like this, we are above them."

Compared with Whiteside, Cousins' brain cells are thicker, and his thoughts are only in the cerebral cortex.

"You look confident."

The reporter commented with a smile.

"Yeah, we just got [-] wins in a row, we added Eric Gordon this season, after the penalty change, me, Chris and James are all in great shape, we have a chemistry, that will help us Get the final championship."

Cousins' answer was as crisp and direct as before.

After his remarks were reported by the media, it also attracted fierce quarrels between Pelicans and Rockets fans on social media.

"Cousins ​​is Durantized? How come he quickly forgot about being slapped in the face and 4-1 last season?"

"You know Cousins' IQ. It's more extreme than both Cousins ​​and McGee. These words are drizzled!"

"This is an extremely inflated heart. Let's see how my Pelicans make you a prototype!"

Pelicans fans were pretty upset about Cousins' comments.

"You are Durant! Your whole family is Durant!"

"You know what a fart, you can only attack people, this is arrogance! Do you understand arrogance? We should have this aura!"

"Look, the Rockets will win tonight's game, proving that what Cousins ​​said is right, the Warriors also won the last game, didn't they!"

Rockets fans feel that Cousins' remarks are quite imposing, and they are also the aura that a championship team should have.

The fans on both sides are fiercely spraying each other, and they will not stop until the keyboard is broken.

Amid Cousins' remarks and fans' clattering of keyboards, the game between the Pelicans and the Rockets kicked off at Houston's Toyota Center that night.

The game will be narrated by ESPN's Breen and Miller, and their special guest will be Tracy McGrady.

After McGrady retired, he became a special commentator of ESPN, and now he has more and more opportunities to appear in the commentary booth.

"What do you think of DeMarcus Cousins' remarks before the game, is the current Rockets really stronger than the Pelicans?"

Players from both sides were still warming up on the field, and Breen began to warm up the field ahead of the game.

"I think there is some truth to what he said."

Miller gives his perspective.

"We all know the changes in the league now, the penalty scale is more lenient than before, more physical confrontation, Paul and Cousins' performance has become better, and Harden's adjustment, and Eri who has performed well on the bench Gordon, I think they're stronger than the Pelicans."

Miller opened his mouth and analyzed that his commentary professionalism was comparable to that of Kenny Smith.

"Yes, speaking of which, Gordon played for the Pelicans a lot of time before, and he and Don also played for the team."

Brin suddenly remembered something.

"Trevor Ariza is also a veteran of the Rockets."

McGrady seized the opportunity to add.

Brin nodded with a smile. This game really has a lot of topics.

"So you all think the Rockets have a better chance of winning tonight? Are the Pelicans really not much better?"

He continued after laughing.

"The Pelicans lost to the Warriors last game. Although Ariza will return, I think the Rockets have a better chance of winning tonight."

Miller nodded back and also talked about the game.

"No, I didn't say that, I didn't express an opinion."

Maddie smiled and shook his head.

"you have not?"

"Yes, I haven't."

Brin and McGrady asked and answered, and he thought about it for a while.

McGrady just said that Ariza is a veteran of the Rockets, because McGrady has played for the Rockets for a long time before, and he instinctively took that as a point of view.

"So you think the Pelicans have a chance?"

The technique of commentary lies in contradictions. Of course, he hopes that McGrady's point of view is different from that of Miller, so that kind of commentary can be interesting.

But Maddie smiled and shook his head again.

Brin was a little confused. In sum, McGrady was fooling an old man like him!

"I don't think the Pelicans have a chance to win, I think the Pelicans will win the game tonight."

McGrady's next words made Brin laugh. McGrady's explanation skills are very good. It's not that there is a contradiction, but the contradiction is full.

"why?"

Brin asked along the way, and Miller also looked at McGrady, hoping to hear his analysis and insights.

But McGrady's answer was very simple.

"They have Don."

Miller was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but Brin burst out laughing.

McGrady's explanation, is this Tang Chuan's number two in the commentary after O'Neill!

"I played with that guy, I know, and you see him in training, you'll think I'm right."

McGrady was a member of the Spurs and Tang Tian at the beginning, because it has been a long time, many people have forgotten this matter.

After being reminded, Brin and Miller nodded one after another, and they followed McGrady's words and looked at the field.

Tang Tian just completed a 180-degree turn and dunk.

This is a little exciting.

ps: Special thanks to the leader of Tongtang for the reward!Special thanks to _John_ for the reward!

Chapter 936 James I'm Smart Harden (Third!)

"The Pelicans can't guard Harden and Paul at the same time, just like they couldn't guard Durant and Curry at the same time last game."

Miller looked away for a while, but Tang Tian seemed more excited, and he was still more inclined to win the Rockets.

"I have a hunch they'll do it."

McGrady did not refute directly, but expressed his point of view in a very euphemistic way.

Warming up and dunking before a game is exhausting.

And it's not just Tang Tian, ​​the entire Pelicans team looks very excited tonight.

This is his intuition.

Miller smiled and didn't say anything else, commenting on the game depends on intuition, McGrady is not Tang Chui's second, this is Barkley's second!

While they were talking, the players on the field had completed their warm-up, and the scene entered the entrance ceremony.

The starters of the two teams came on stage one after another.

For the Pelicans, Ariza ushered in a comeback, with Holiday and Tang Tian on the outside, Davis and Jokic on the inside.

The Rockets also have a regular lineup, with Paul and Harden on the outside, Tucker and Morris on the front, and Cousins ​​​​at the center.

After the two sides made their first appearances, Cousins ​​jumped and won Davis, and the Pelicans battle kicked off amidst the cheers of fans.

The Rockets hit Cousins ​​first in the frontcourt, and Cousins ​​rammed Jokic inside and scored.

Under the new penalty scale, Cousins ​​is really invincible in the paint.

Looking back, Tang Tian and Jokic pulled Cousins ​​out after a pick-and-roll, a fake pass inwards deceived Cousins, and the emergency stop shot hit back.

Cousins ​​continued to hit the basket hard, and after encountering Davis double-teaming, he forced it to cause Jokic's defensive foul and made two free throws.

But Tang Tian turned around and picked and rolled with Jokic to pass the ball back, assisting the latter to cause Tucker to foul at the basket, and also made two free throws.
