Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 137 Lakers vs. Rockets

Since Mike Brown announced at the press conference that Yao Ming will play the Los Angeles Lakers at home against the Houston Rockets on November [-]th, the duel between the two teams has become the focus of attention of many fans.However, many fans and netizens in China have launched a scolding war on the Internet because of the inappropriate remarks made by the owner of the Houston Rockets, Alexander. More radical and highly skilled netizens went directly to the official website of the Rockets to directly start hacking. The website, I have to say that these netizens are very powerful, and directly caused the Rockets' official website server to crash and reimbursed. Here I really want to feel the power of the folk masters.

The Rockets this season can almost be said to be rebuilding the team.During the offseason, the Houston Rockets' backup point guard and team core Kyle Lowry competed for the starting position in the new season, and asked the Rockets executives for a contract worth tens of millions of dollars.Since Kyle Lowry has been absent from the game for a long time due to health problems, and his performance in returning to the game after physical recovery is not satisfactory, the Rockets' management prefers to keep Deran Dragic.However, the top management of the Rockets expected to keep Kyle Lowry at the same time, and the attitude of the Rockets' management was ambiguous for a while.

It was not until Houston or the supervisory management finally made up their minds to send Kyle Lowry away, but the saddest thing for the team is that Goran Dragic accepted the offer from the Phoenix Suns and chose to join the Suns, and so did the Suns It looks like Goran Dragic is Steve Nash's successor.Fortunately, Morey, the manager of the Houston Rockets, did a climax. He snatched Jeremy Lin, a Chinese point guard who performed well last season, from the New York Knicks.However, although Jeremy Lin has been amazingly realized for a period of time, there are not many teams that are really willing to offer him a big contract.

When Lin Fengzhe and others were interviewed last season, when they were asked about Jeremy Lin who was in the limelight at the time, Lin Fengzhe answered very directly, "Jeremy Lin? You mean the one who can't even write a few Chinese characters Guy? His recent good performance can only be said that the New York Knicks have no one available at the point guard position, and coach D'Antoni's tactics are deflected to him. More precisely, the bombardment tactics created him. If you change a team I don't think he will have such a performance in the team. His current good performance can only be regarded as luck. If he is lucky enough to meet me in the next game, I will tell him what a real master is , he is still far behind, at most he is a marginal player."

And the performance afterwards was just as Lin Fengzhe said. In the Los Angeles Lakers away game against the New York Knicks a week later, Lin Fengzhe seemed to be eyeing Jeremy Lin throughout the game. The highest 32 points, also sent [-] assists, [-] rebounds and [-] steals, a perfect triple-double data, in this game, Kobe Bryant has deliberately reduced Lin Fengzhe's advance greeting before the rain game For his own offense, of course, Lin Fengzhe's rebounding data is a little watery. Several times, Li Yifeng and others blocked the Knicks players outside and waited for Lin Fengzhe to go in to pick up rebounds.As for Jeremy Lin, the crazy Jeremy Lin who was so sought after by the New York media before the game, it was a complete tragedy. Lin Fengzhe targeted the entire game and only scored four points, two assists and eleven turnovers in the game. All steals came from him.

At the press conference after the game, Lin Fengzhe did not consider that the two may have a common ancestor before N years, and said that Jeremy Lin is not worthy of people's expectations, as long as he meets the top guards in the league, he will be rejected. The result of the explosion.Because of Lin Fengzhe's defense against Jeremy Lin in this game, Jeremy Lin's weakness was infinitely magnified, so that he was severely restricted when facing the league's top point guards, and when he met Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams and Chauncey Billups were directly blown to pieces.

And the only player left by the Rockets this season who is most familiar to Chinese fans should be Kevin Martin. Te left the team, Luis Scola also joined the Phoenix Suns.The Houston Rockets are nothing like they were when Yao Ming and Tracy McGregor were on the team.

During the offseason, the Rockets offered Chicago Bulls backup center Omer Asik a three-year, $2510 million contract.And this contract is also the first blockbuster contract to detonate the free agent market.Omer Asik is not a big-name player, but a blue-collar center who averaged 7 minutes per game, but only [-] points and [-] rebounds.However, although Omer Asik's offensive ability is not very good, and he is a typical floor player, his defensive and rebounding abilities are still good.And he performed really well in the previous games, averaging double-digit rebounds per game, but the corresponding playing time has nearly doubled, but he still has no achievements in scoring, so there are still many people Question whether Omer Asik will become a high-paid low-energy player.

On November [-], the focus match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets will proceed as scheduled.In the interview with reporters before the game, Yao Ming still continued his humble style, "This is my first game back in the NBA, and I hope to have a good start. As for the Houston Rockets, I just want to say that I I had a great time there and had the same passionate fans as Los Angeles, and I'm glad I had so many Houston fans backing me in that situation. Finally, I hope my performance tonight will be appreciated by the Los Angeles fans I hope that I can have a new start, and at the end of my career, I can work with a great team like the Los Angeles Lakers for the final O'Brien Cup."

Li Yifeng said to the reporter, "Before the game, that miser in Alexander said that he would let their newly signed center give Yao Ming a good look, and let Yao Ming know that the Rockets are another guy who is not inferior to Yao Ming. But he still prayed for that Guys can pass my level first, I hope Alexander can still say this with confidence after the game. I will have a good talk about basketball with their center during the game. I just hope he doesn’t I taught you too badly."

Before the game even started, both sides were already full of gunpowder, but one side was eager to prove itself, while the other side seemed indifferent, ready to make the other side look bad.But to be honest, the inside line composed of Omer Asik and Patrick Patterson has no chance of winning against the new inside twin towers composed of Li Yifeng and Pau Gasol. This is completely an unequal contest.

In the warm-up training before the start of the game, Yao Ming talked with his former teammate Kevin Martin for a few minutes. Kevin Martin once again sent his blessings for Yao Ming's return to the game.And Yao Ming also felt sorry for Kevin Martin's involvement in the trade rumors. If Kevin Martin also leaves, it can be said that the original Rockets team is really gone.

Kevin Martin was very indifferent to the trade, and he didn't let those trade rumors affect his game state. He still went all out to face every opponent and seriously carried out the team's training.Kevin Martin said to Yao Ming; "I don't mind being a bargaining chip in a deal. This is commonplace in the league. You know that the Rockets were going to send me to the New Orleans Hornets last season, and the deal was already done. It’s just that I was suspended by the league and didn’t succeed.” Kevin Martin said this to Yao Ming very flatly, “Even if the Rockets don’t want me anymore, although it’s not that the other 29 teams in the league want me, But there are a lot of teams that want me. I'm never worried that no team will not want me, and I still have enough playing time and game film to make those teams realize what I can do in the league."

Yao Ming patted Kevin Martin on the shoulder, "To be honest, your mentality is much better than mine, but brother, I still wish you the best of luck, if you leave the Rockets, you will have a good boss."

In the player entrance ceremony before the game, Yao Ming's appearance was once again warmly cheered by the home fans. In Los Angeles, Yao Ming also has many fans.In particular, his footwork at the basket is known as the most beautiful inside footwork after the big dream Olajuwon. Many inside players deliberately analyze and learn from Yao Ming's game video.

The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers is center Li Yifeng, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Lin Fengzhe, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Steve Nash.

The Houston Rockets' starting lineup is center Omer Asik, power forward Patrick Patterson, small forward Chandler Parsons, shooting guard Kevin Martin and point guard Jeremy Lin.

Judging from the lineup, the Los Angeles Lakers are an absolute giant, absolutely gorgeous.On the other hand, looking at the Houston Rockets lineup, except for Kevin Martin, it seems that there are no real big-name players. Compared with the Los Angeles Lakers, it is really shabby. From the salary point of view, the Los Angeles Lakers' starter The starting lineups of the last two Houston Rockets with complete lineups are more than enough.
