NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

The Lakers players left the court in the Dynasty Center dejectedly, and they fell under the iron hoof of the Rockets again.

After Tang Yu shook hands with Phil Jackson, the other party said: "It was a wonderful game, congratulations!"

"We will keep the championship in the West, right?"

The two smiled at each other. As the saying goes, heroes appreciate heroes. A legendary coach and a young coach are both the best coaches in the league.

Anthony played 36 minutes in the first game, 11 of 16 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. In addition, Melon made no mistakes in the whole game.

The 26-year-old Anthony is unstoppable on the offensive end. In the first game, he conquered all Rockets fans with a stunning buzzer beater.

Another new Rockets player, Nowitzki, scored 12 points and 5 rebounds, and his performance was satisfactory.

Harden scored 14 points and 13 assists, and got a double-double. Curry scored 21 points with 5 of 7 three-pointers.

Lakers player Kobe scored the highest score of 32 points in the game, but the Little Flying Man took 23 shots to get 32 ​​points, and his hit rate was not very high.

Paul's 17 points and 9 assists have not yet shown the true strength of the "Queen Bee".

Stoudemire scored 13 points and 7 rebounds, Gasol scored 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Hill only scored 6 points.

Kobe was also unable to hide his disappointment in an interview after the game, "We performed almost perfectly in this game, but the Rockets beat us. This is just an ordinary regular season game. We will learn from the experience of failure. The season is still long, and this is just the beginning!"

The Black Mamba's unwillingness can be seen from Kobe's words. I believe that the Lakers will be stronger next time they play.

And Anthony, who scored the first buzzer-beater since joining the Rockets, was even more excited in the post-game interview.

"This is a wonderful start. I thoroughly enjoy every minute of this team. My job here is very simple. The coach and teammates trust each other, and the atmosphere in our locker room is perfect. This is the brotherly basketball I want to pursue!"

Then the reporter asked Anthony why he was asked to execute the buzzer-beater, and Anthony was even more outspoken.

"The coach asked Dirk and I to discuss it on our own. Dirk gave me the opportunity. I know if it was him, he would have made this shot. Tang Yu gave me the opportunity to prove myself in the Space City. I am here to help the team, not to win the championship by lying!"

Like Anthony, Tang Yu was also asked why he chose Anthony for the last shot.

Tang Yu said: "Cameron and Dirk are both new players. They were the bosses in their original teams, but after coming here, they need to prove their value again. Tonight is Cameron, and the next game will be Dirk, that's all!"

Tang Yu then answered the reporter's question about defending the title.

"All teams aim to win the championship, whether this year, next year or the year after, but the goal is the same. My team is undoubtedly the favorite to win the championship, but there are several strong teams in the league this year, and the competition will be very fierce."

......

After defeating the Lakers, Tang Yu's team won ten consecutive victories at the beginning of the season and remained at the top of the league.

However, the old injury of 'Big Shark' O'Neal recurred in the third game against the Denver Nuggets and he was included in the injury list. The Rockets only had one center, Chris Anderson.

After that, the Rockets promoted Ibaka to the center position in a large number of games, and used a five-small lineup more often. Nowitzki began to try to play as a center in the five-small lineup.

The magic ball tactics of the Rockets' five-star shooter frightened all the teams in the league. In ten games, they averaged 22.6 points per game and scored 127.7 points per game.

The three-pointer accounts for more than 40% of the team's total shots. All teams in the league are studying the three-pointer tactics. Now shooters have gradually become the trading targets pursued by various teams.

In ten games, the Rockets have three other stars besides Harden who can score 20+ points per game.

Stephen Curry averages 15.2 shots per game and can score 23.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists plus 1.2 steals.

Carmelo Anthony averages 17.9 shots per game and can score 26.7 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists. In addition, Anthony can get 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks on the defensive end.

Anthony's improved defensive enthusiasm after joining the Rockets has made him widely praised by the media and fans. It turns out that Melon is not undefensive, but it's just a problem with the coach.

Dirk Nowitzki averages 13.1 shots per game and can get 20.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists.

Nowitzki is now in the Rockets and can only be said to be like Yao Ming last season, playing in a retirement style, averaging 25.He played 28.8 minutes per game and was extremely efficient. Almost every time he touched the ball and shot, he could score.

James Harden, the brain of the team, played 36.6 minutes per game and was the player with the most playing time for the Rockets.

Harden could get 16.8 points, 12.2 assists and 7.7 rebounds, and his 2.1 steals were second only to Chris Paul in the league.

The Lakers won seven consecutive games after losing to the Rockets, but they capsized in the gutter when facing the bottom team Denver Nuggets.

A-League ushered in his career night, scoring 55 points and 22 rebounds. A-League became the new Asian player with the most points in the NBA.

This also made Denver fans forget the pain of losing Melon, and now A-League has become their new favorite.

After joining the Nuggets, A-League appeared at the small forward position this season. According to Tang Yu, his playing style is more and more like Durant.

The improvement of breakthrough and mid-range and long-range shooting ability has made A-League have a great improvement in face-to-frame ability.

With an average of 26.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, he has become a double-double player, and in the Nuggets, Yi Jianlian also has unlimited firing rights, which Tang Yu cannot provide him.

Similar to Yi Jianlian, Jordan has a similar situation. After leaving the Rockets, Jordan immediately ushered in a data explosion.

Under the leadership of legendary point guard Chauncey Billups, Jordan averaged 13.6 points, 14.8 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in 10 games, making him a monster in the interior.

Superb physical fitness and excellent mobility make him like a fish in water in the interior.

Now there is a rumor in the entire league, that is, the Rockets' products must be high-quality!

Players from the Rockets can immediately contribute to the new team, and even rookie Stephenson has become a main player in the Bobcats.

It can be seen that Tang Yu has a keen eye for draft picks and the ability to train players. In just one offseason, he trained a second-round pick into a qualified NBA starting player.
