Chapter 331
On December 2012, 12, the Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Orlando Magic away.

This is the first time "Warcraft" Howard has faced the "old owner" after joining the Los Angeles Lakers.

As soon as Howard entered the arena, the overwhelming boos immediately rose.

This is a very common thing in the NBA, especially Howard's "Huo Loyalty" reneging, which aroused the anger of the people of Orlando.When James transferred to the Heat, Howard once secretly ridiculed him, saying that he would play for the Orlando Magic for life. As a result, everyone knew it.Since then, there has been another legend of "Huo Zhongzhong" in the "Jianghu".

World of Warcraft played very aggrieved in this game, probably because he wanted to perform too well, but his mentality was a little out of balance. Although he scored 15 rebounds, he shot 40% from the field and made 21 of 9 free throws. It directly ruined the great situation of the Lakers.Even if Kobe scored 34 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in this game, it didn't help.

And in this game, Orlando also reminded other teams that when they can't beat Los Angeles, they can find Dwight Howard to start.The so-called "cut Huo" tactic has become very popular since this season.

加索尔这场比赛只上场了28分钟，得到了11分7个篮板球，这就让板凳席上的唐潜，得到了大量的出场时间。本场比赛唐潜出场30分钟，得到了13个篮板4次盖帽2分1次助攻的个人数据。

There is still an advantage to being on the same team with Howard, that is, most of the opponent's internal energy is concentrated on the former, which greatly reduces Tang Qian's offensive and defensive pressure.Otherwise, the Magic's inside line is still capable. At least Nikola Vucevic is also averaging a double-double inside line this season, and there is a "meat shield forward" Glenn Davis escorting him , So Tang Qian will feel very tricky if he really greets Tang Qian.

But it's a pity that the Lakers have Dwight Howard, and Tang Qian's pressure is less than half?
So he can get such a good personal data, half of the credit is due to "Warcraft".

But in the end, the Lakers still lost the ball, because the overall shooting percentage was too worrisome, with only 41.9% shooting percentage from the field.And what about the opponent?A full 50%!With a loss of nearly ten percentage points, it is really too difficult to win.What's more, they still had 34 assists in this game, 15 more than the Lakers. More blossomed, and the Los Angeles "Starship Battleship" was devastated.

Moreover, the Lakers' own 18 turnovers are also an act of digging their own grave.

Under the boos, Dwight Howard left the Amway Center Stadium in embarrassment.

Lost again!This feeling!Definitely makes people feel bad!

Kobe had a conversation with Howard on the plane. No outsider knew what the content was, but judging by Howard's expression, it should not be a compliment.This is Kobe Bryant's personality. If you play well, I can praise you. If you play badly, then I will definitely not tell lies.At least before Kobe's Achilles tendon ruptured, he had such a "unpleasant" personality.

On December 12, the Lakers moved to Houston to challenge the Rockets away at the Toyota Center.

In this game, Pau Gasol was completely suspended, because he felt a strong plantar discomfort just after getting off the plane. For the health of the Spaniard, Gary Vitti advised him not to play tonight.

This is very bad news. At the beginning of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers "big four kings" who were "vigorous" and "imposing" at the beginning of the season, only Kobe and Howard were left in the blink of an eye.

Cut directly in half.

This year, the Rockets can be regarded as a complete "shotgun change", not only getting Jeremy Lin, but also "future number one" James Harden.When the Lakers played against the Rockets, Harden didn't play because of a bad cold. This game was the first time Tang Qian saw No. 13 wearing a Rockets uniform in the Toyota Center.

"Hi~ Hot~ Long time no see~ How are you doing lately~" Jeremy Lin, who is also yellow-skinned, greeted Tang Qian friendly.

"It's okay~ What about you?" Tang Qian turned around and asked when he saw Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, I always feel that Houston is different from what I imagined. My mother told me that there is an old Chinese saying that a good horse never turns back. I don't know if I am I made a wrong decision.” Jeremy Lin had tried out with the Rockets before, but he was soon cut off by the team, so that’s probably what he meant when he said “good horses don’t turn back”.

Jeremy Lin was originally full of confidence and wanted to come to Houston to be the boss, but unexpectedly, Morey "unknowingly" introduced James Harden.It seems to be reinforcing the team, but it is actually a stupid "functional overlap" behavior.Because Jeremy Lin and Harden are both types who need the ball in their hands. If you put them together and they are both starters, how do you distribute the ball?

But Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, is a "numerical analyst". He once disclosed to the media that he relied on simulating 2k games to determine the future trend of the Rockets.Just such a guy, although he doesn't have any bad contracts, but he often doesn't have any big money. Even if he brings in stars, he can't keep them.In addition, with the "puzzle" of core players, he has also been messed up for a long time. He is not a particularly brilliant team general manager, he can only be said to be very competent.

This introduction of Harden is a problem.

Because he and Jeremy Lin can't coexist at all, if you don't want to bring in Jeremy Lin, or you don't want to bring in Harden, otherwise, one of them will always be dissatisfied and need to change his style of play.Looking at the "Big Three" in Miami, they all need to distinguish who is in charge of the ball, and Wade needs to take the initiative to back down. This season's Harden and Jeremy Lin are even more so.

So Jeremy Lin revealed later that he was not happy at all during his time with the Rockets.

Because from the moment he saw Harden, Jeremy Lin was "as if struck by lightning", feeling that he had been deceived by Morey.

Tang Qian looked at this yellow-skinned "little man" and sighed inwardly, because he knew that Jeremy Lin's "disaster" had only just begun.How to say this season is still one of the starting five tigers, the main force of the iron fight, and will be directly relegated to the bench next season. At that time, Jeremy Lin will really "suffer".

But all of this, he couldn't say it clearly, he could only remind vaguely that you might not be suitable for Houston.

In this game, the Lakers' starting five are: Kobe Bryant, Ricks Duhon, Metta World Peace, Dwight Howard, and Tang Qian.That's right, because the Lakers have been eroded by large-scale injuries, many lineups have to be redistributed and adjusted.This is also the first major event to test Mike D'Antoni who has just taken office.

Not only Nash and Gasol, but even the chief backup point guard Steve Blake entered the team's injury list because of a torn thumb ligament.In this case, Mike D'Antoni could only urgently move out of this lineup.

At least it seems that the strength is not bad, not too bad.

For the Rockets, the starting lineup is: James Harden, Chandler Parsons, Omer Asik, Patrick Patterson, Jeremy Lin.This is not much different from Tang Qian's impression.

The ball scrambler, the Lakers side is naturally Dwight Howard. Tang Qian looked at the number 12 and said to himself:
Opening scrimmage?

Sooner or later, this position will be mine!

In Tang Qian's eyes, lightning-like fighting spirit flashed.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Tang Qian, who was on the starting lineup, set a small goal for himself in this game.

That is the locked opponent, Patrick Patterson.

In this game, Kobe was full of firepower as soon as he came up. Not only did he score 8 points in an instant, but he also prevented the "future first point" on the opposite side from being extremely embarrassed, and directly made 3 of 0 shots.I have to say that this season, the gap in ability between Harden and Kobe is still very obvious. Kobe has no problem at all to clean up his opponents.

Ci Shiping also defended the opponent Chandler Parsons "in pain", yes, "in pain", because Ci Shiping's defense is extremely tough, and the latter only feels Muscles all over my body ached.If the speedy small forward can still rely on breakthroughs to tear Ci Shiping's defense, after all, Ci Shiping is already old, and his legs and feet have long since lost the flexibility of his peak.It's a pity that Chandler Parsons, his breakthrough speed is not good. Although his breakthrough ability is not bad, it's a pity that his slow breakthrough pace is like a child's play in front of the "beast" Mercy.As long as Ci Shiping defends a little, Chandler Parsons will inevitably lose his footsteps, and it is not impossible to even dribble and walk.

Who is Chandler. Parsons is only 208 pounds tall at 230CM?And Ci Shiping on the opposite side is much heavier than him. In a boxing match, this is almost the difference between a heavyweight and an ultra-lightweight.Coupled with Ci Shiping's stealth skills, Parsons' breakthrough in front of him is simply courting death.

"Rebound!" As soon as the shot was taken, Parsons knew it was not, so he shouted immediately.

Omer Asik forced Howard to shoot a rebound. The ball was caught by Rockets power forward Patrick Patterson. He made an instant shot to complete the second attack.

but……

slap~
Just as he shot the basketball, he was blocked by a big yellow palm.

PS: I have to pick up people at the airport later, so I only have this update tonight, and I will add it tomorrow if I have time~Thank you~
