Chapter 531 Never spoil Houston, the 76ers are troubled by disasters

When Chinese fans talk about the Rockets, they often love and hate.

Later, there were more trolls, and gradually the ironic pairing of "big deal every month, annual championship" was spread, and the horizontal criticism was "you morey me" that made Rockets general manager Daryl Morey crazy.

But the hardcore Rockets fans expressed dissatisfaction, because from another perspective, this is the best compliment to the Rockets.

After entering the 21st century, this Western powerhouse has hardly performed badly, and has always maintained a certain level of team competitiveness.

Maybe the Rockets are a bit far from the championship, but they really deserve the name of the Western Conference, and the Texas Xiaoqiang is definitely not in vain. This is a team that will be bitten if you are not careful.

After the end of the game with the Rockets, the Eagles got another 4 days of rest.

Then they once again ushered in the challenge of the Orlando Magic at home. The Eagles were fully fired from the outside, making a total of 30 three-pointers, 21 of which were thrown.

Even Ruan Erniu made 5 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, 104:135, and the Eagles took away the Magic in three quarters.

However, what the Hawks generals did not expect was that two days later, when they visited Orlando for the second time this season, what greeted them was also a wave of unreasonable three-pointers.

This time the Magic made 28 of 16 three-pointers, while the Hawks seemed to have exhausted their shooting touch two days ago, shooting only 20 of 8 three-pointers.

100:121, after the Eagles just beat their opponents by 31 points, they immediately lost 21 points.

What kind of insiders win the world, all BULLSHIT!

No matter how fiercely Ruan Erniu and Howard competed for inside rebounds, it was the outside performance of the two teams that would determine the outcome of the game. Whoever shot more accurately would be more likely to win.

In an interview, Ruan Erniu did not fully agree with this point of view. He said: "The key is to look at the defense! In our second away game against the Magic, we gave the opponent too many opportunities to shoot at will on the defensive end. , which was our biggest mistake.

Three-pointers will definitely become more and more important, but it is the team's defensive quality that determines the outcome of the game. "

After the end of the Magic's one-home and one-off game, the Hawks' regular season record came to 30 wins and 5 losses, and they still occupy the top position in the league.

Although in the just-concluded game, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Boston Celtics strongly, and LeBron James even scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists alone, dominating the game alone, but the Cavaliers finally won 29 points. The record of wins and 6 losses ranks second in the league and continues to bite the Atlanta Hawks.

On the MVP list selected by various media, Ruan Erniu and James are also firmly locked in the top two positions. Although Kobe's Lakers team also played very well, in the fiercely competitive Western Conference team It is thriving, but at present, Kobe Bryant, who is in the third place in the MVP list, is difficult to cause too much trouble to the top two Kraft Nguyen and James.

The season is nearly halfway through, and of course the team that will finally enter the playoffs is still uncertain, but the first-tier teams have already stood out, and the regular season record rankings and the MVP battle have entered a fever pitch ahead of schedule.

On January 2009, 1, the Eagles returned home to face the Philadelphia 11ers.

The 08ers in the 09-76 season were also part of the hyped coach army. What they replaced was Maurice Cheeks, the team hero who drove away Allen Iverson (non irony, Cheeks 76 jersey was retired by the [-]ers).

At the beginning of the season, Cheeks only led the team to a poor record of 9 wins and 14 losses. The 76ers management obviously could not accept this result, so Cheeks was fired and assistant coach Tony Dileo took over. previous position.

The current record of the 76ers is 16 wins and 20 losses. That is to say, after Di Leo took office, he led the team to a record of 7 wins and 6 losses. This result is at least acceptable.

However, the 76ers' record is not good enough, and most of the responsibility is naturally placed on Cheeks.

Sitting on the same playoff lineup from last season, this season has ushered in the addition of "Captain" Brand, but still has such poor results. Naturally, someone needs to stand up and take responsibility.

But having said that, the team leader Iguodala is a leader who has never averaged more than 20 points per game in his career, and objectively speaking, the current 76ers are excellent on the defensive end, but they are seriously lacking in the offensive end. The shot player. javascript:
On December 2008, 12, in the game between the 17ers and the Bucks, Elton Brand, who was hired from the Clippers, had a dislocated shoulder. After inspection, the official announced that Brand was reimbursed for the season ahead of schedule. This also gave the 76ers and Cheeks the most fatal blow.

Brand should have been able to fill the team's firepower problem on the offensive end, but it must not be counted on now.

The main force was injured and the coach was withdrawn. This is the status quo of the 76ers.

The 76ers' starting lineup for this game is:
C Samuel Dalembert

PF Thaddeus Young

SF Andre Iguodala
SG Willie Green
PG Andre Miller
On the bench are players such as Marliss Speights, Louis Williams, Reggie Evans, etc. From the perspective of the lineup, if Brand is not injured, this is indeed a team with enough Imagine the team.

The Hawks' starting lineup remained unchanged, and Ruan Erniu and Dalembert jointly took the jump ball in the middle circle.

The two took off at the same time, but tonight the referee's toss was slightly biased towards the 76ers. The Haitians got the basketball first, and Andre *I'm Karen Mok* Miller got the ball and steadily advanced halftime.

Andre Miller is the legendary backcourt player whose three-pointers can be unbelievably bad. In the 07-08 season, his three-pointers averaged 0.4 shots, and his hit rate was a terrifying and festive 8.8%, so he It is not easy to shoot from the outside.

After a cross screen, Miller sent the ball to Iguodala, the boss of the team. The first brother broke through with the ball, and under the defense of Salmons, he distributed the ball to Thaddeus Young on the outside. The ball was passed to Willy Green, who stopped and shot in the middle distance.

"boom!"

Missed!

Ruan Erniu pushed Dalembert away, took the backcourt rebound, and then immediately made a long pass, sending the ball to Jon Jisen, who was attacking in the frontcourt.

Jon Jonson made an easy layup and put the ball into the basket, opening the scoring for the Eagles.

On the offensive end of the 76ers, Andre Iguodala immediately took advantage of the opportunity of a reverse run and cut, avoided the defense of Ruan Erniu and Lunar Eclipse, pulled the bar in the air, and threw the ball into the basket with a backhand.

On the offensive end of the Eagles, the two bulls took Dalembert alone in the low post. After digging into the inside, they took a tentative step to shake the Haitian and easily succeeded in hooking.

Andre Miller held the ball across the half, with the help of Thaddeus Young's cover, he dislocated the singles eclipse, and after using his footsteps to shake off the defense, he succeeded in a mid-range jumper and hit 2 points.

In the first quarter of the game, both sides played quite smoothly and their shooting percentages were also high.

When one side scores a goal, the other side will immediately return the color.

Compared with the offensive, the Hawks will certainly not lose to the opponent. Ruan Erniu's low position attracts double-teams, and there will be more than one vacancy immediately when he is assigned to the outside line.

After experiencing the downturn in the last game, the Eagles shooters also recovered their touch after returning to the Philips Center Arena, taking outside shots again and again and scoring points.

Since both sides kept scoring goals, the score gap in the first quarter did not widen.

At 30:35, the Eagles ended the first quarter with a 5-point advantage.
