Reverse Growth Superstar

Starting with a 14-game winning streak, and after winning the first 70 wins since the 21st century last season, the Grizzlies have moved towards another league record.

Great teams are always accompanied by the birth of various records. The Memphis Grizzlies have left their names in many league records. They are already a pivotal team in the league.

But no one would think he broke too many records. After the Grizzlies won 14 consecutive victories, another historical first is approaching them.

Now, the attention of fans all over the world has fallen on the Grizzlies. Their winning streak has become much-anticipated.

When people know that they are witnessing history, their concentration is extremely high. Therefore, since the end of the game with the Celtics, every move of the Grizzlies players has been in the attention of the fans.

The Houston Rockets are undoubtedly the second most watched team. As the creator of the first 15-game winning streak in history, the Rockets met the Grizzlies at this very moment, which made this unusual regular season even more dramatic.

Since Yao Ming retired, the attention of the Aerospace City team has plummeted. Although Jeremy Lin and Harden joined last season, the attention is still only second-rate.

It wasn't until this summer that Dwight Howard chose to settle in Space City, that this team once again entered people's vision.

And this game is undoubtedly the most watched game the Rockets have played in recent years.

As soon as the Rockets players got off the plane, they encountered a crowd of reporters. Some of these reporters were local reporters in Memphis, and some were foreign reporters who came here to cover the game.

This is far from a war between Space City and Memphis, but the focus of the whole world.

Dwight Howard showed his white teeth to the camera. Few stars can laugh so happily in Memphis, and Howard is an outlier.

I don't know if he wants to maintain his Sunny Boy personality, or is really full of confidence.

In comparison, James Harden's expression is much heavier. Since the Thunder period, Harden has often played against Link and the Grizzlies. There is no doubt that he is definitely the player in the Rockets who knows the Grizzlies best.

He knows all aspects of Grizzlies, including the horror feeling when playing against Grizzlies! Last season and even in the Western Conference Finals, the experience of being overwhelmed by Link is still vivid.

Therefore, Harden is not in the same mood as Howard. He knew very well that even if he stood up from the Federal Express Arena, he had to peel off his skin!

That guy Dwight, who is not good enough to provoke, he went to provoke the worst person...

The top ten players in the league are not easy to provoke the top spot.

"Hey, James, are you confident to win the game today? We are in a good state recently. We must do our best when we get to the court!"

After getting on the team bus, Howard patted Harden on the back like a team leader.

Harden nodded on the surface, but he was MMP in his heart.

Why did you put on a face that taught me? Do I need you to teach? And even if you fight the Grizzlies, you won’t necessarily win even if you try your best. That's not as good, think about which nightclub to relax after going back...

Howard could never imagine that his strongest partner, in fact, is not too eager to win.

They are all players who like to go out at four in the morning, but now Harden and Kobe are completely two concepts.

Howard is so confident is not without reason. After a brief struggle at the beginning of the season, Howard is in a very good state now.

In the past three games, Howard averaged 21.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, which is pretty good. He must have thought that he had returned to the top, changed back to the "Warcraft" that could bring the Magic to the finals.

However, Howard is only the second year in the West, and he is a newcomer. He still doesn't know what the magnitude of the words Memphis Grizzlies is.

Until the evening, both sides had warmed up on the court, Howard still grinned from time to time.

Randolph looked at Howard and shook his head secretly, "That kid is stupid."

Link didn't care much about Howard's status, he just wanted to manage himself. The opening 15-game winning streak has been maintained for nearly 20 years. Now, it's time for the Rockets to move their **** from the throne.

As for Howard? Don't worry, that guy won't be able to laugh soon.

Before the game, Howard, with a superhuman smile, accepted an interview with the famous reporter David Aldridge.

"We are full of strength today and we have played pretty well in the past three games. Don't worry, after tonight, the longest opening streak in the league will still belong to the Houston Rockets. Link is a superstar, and so am I! So, Don’t want to pass it easily!"

"Oh, then good luck to you, superstar Dwight." Aldridge smiled and patted Howard on the shoulder. Many people thought this was encouragement, but in fact, Aldridge was sorry.

A good guy, Link will take care of it again.

When the two teams stepped onto the court, Link only hugged Jeremy Lin for a while, and then did not say hello to anyone else on the Rockets.

It can be seen that the smell of gunpowder is still quite strong.

Howard looked at Link with a playful smile, but Link responded with a foolish look.

Howard suddenly became angry, he felt insulted!

When I played in the finals, you didn't know where it was! Pull a ghost! Facing the league's first center, this is your attitude! ?

Of course, Howard just complained to himself inwardly, without a spout. Later, after the game started, he had time to talk to Link.

"The starting lineups of both sides are already in place. The Rockets have fielded the starting lineups of Jeremy Lin, Harden, Parsons, Terrence Jones and Howard. The starting lineup is currently 9 wins and 5 losses for the Rockets. Although the record is not ideal, it is generally considered to be better. Especially in the past three games, the Rockets have performed quite well."

Hubby Brown probably took a look at the Rockets' starting lineup, and to be honest, it was a lot better than last season.

The Rockets’ starting center last season was Asik, who was basically burdensome on both ends of the offense and defense, incomparable to Howard. Although Howard has passed his peak, he is still one of the league's first-level centers.

Terrence Jones only played 19 games last season. The Rockets' candidates for the fourth position are erratic, but they are basically not high-level players. But this season, Jones has averaged 12 points per game from the starting lineup, and his performance is quite outstanding.

Chandler Parsons' statistics are better than last season. He is now a semi-All-Star player.

Coupled with Jeremy Lin and Harden who still maintain their standards, the Rockets' strength has risen considerably.

But even so, the Rockets still have various problems. Their current record of 9 wins and 5 losses is very telling.

Every season, there are a lot of teams that performed well at the beginning of the season but collapsed in the middle and late stages.

However, the performance at the beginning of the season was not good, and the teams that improved significantly in the middle and late stages were rare.

Hubby Brown doesn't know if the Rockets will become one of those few, but at least today, the Rockets cannot suddenly rise to a level.

Dwight Howard has been immersed in his own world for too long, and it is time for him to see reality clearly.

Superstar? joke!

As soon as the referee threw the basketball, Howard leaped up and showed off his bounce ability in front of Gasol.

He is very excited today. He feels that as long as he wins this game, he can regain the recognition of the whole world.

Harden had the ball and called the pick-and-roll from outside the three-point line, but Howard was unmoved in the low post.

He leaned on Gasol, raised his hand for the ball, and signaled that he wanted to play in the low post!

I'm a superstar, the league's first center, give you a pick and roll? What do you want!

The Lakers left because they didn't want to do this, and naturally it was impossible for the Rockets to do it.

Seeing Howard unmoved, Harden suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

The guard raised his hand for a pick-and-roll, but the center didn’t like you. In the first round of the Rockets, the offense was divided.

No way, Howard's resume is deeper than Harden after all. In the end, the beard still compromised and sent the basketball to Howard.

Howard held the ball in the low post and faced Gasol, the best defensive player of last season, without fear.

I think once, he was the winner of three consecutive best defensive players. Winning awards for three consecutive years, this record cannot be broken so far.

A best defensive player who can't even make the best defensive team, Howard doesn't care at all.

Rocket 12 leaned on Gasol and accelerated suddenly, wanting to turn around and break into dunks!

However, what surprised Howard was that Gasol was pressing forward step by step, and he was stuck in a daze! The Spaniard's footsteps are indeed unhappy, but they have not yet reached the point where they will be overtaken casually.

Howard could not go to Riza, only leaning on Gasol to move laterally close to the basket.

Howard is not reconciled, how can he play the league's first center in the first offense!

So he hooked on the move. However, this kind of technical work is not what Howard is good at.

Under Gasol's long-arm blockade, Howard's "zombie hooker" slammed out of the box, not accurate at all.

With this retro hook technique, Howard's two rocket predecessors, Yao Ming and Olajuwon, had a good time. But obviously, Howard failed to inherit their mantle.

On the first attack, Howard slapped himself with a big mouth.

"Dwight missed the first attack, Randolph received the rebound, now watching the Grizzlies counterattack!"

The Rockets' defense is generally at the level of the league's midstream and downstream. Howard's protection of the penalty area is indeed much better than last season's Asik, Parsons's defense is also pretty good, but Harden and Jeremy Lin's defenses are not enough.

Jeremy Lin is limited by his physical condition, and his defense can only be said to be quite satisfactory. As for Harden, he is a "ruthless man" who often gets the top five embarrassment because of his defensive eyes.

Conley slowly passed halftime and threw the ball to Link lightly.

Link faces Parsons, who is the height of a power forward, but doesn't rush. His tentative steps beyond the three-point line put "Gao Fu Shuai" in a dilemma. Just a trial move made Parsons very nervous.

Parsons finally decided to take a step back and watch out for Link's breakthrough. Link seized this little space and decisively pulled out a jumper!

Parsons didn't expect Link to be so confident. He only gave Link a little space~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, the higher the level of players, the less space they need. Kobe can withstand two or three double-team shots, and James can withstand two or three people's blocking breakthrough. Without space, superstar players can also score goals.

Link completed the shot before Parsons blocked it. Link's shot was so fast that Parsons had no time to block it.

In this way, the basketball accurately drilled into the net and hit a three-pointer! From receiving the ball to scoring, Link didn't even take one step, but just made a few probing steps to win a goal for himself.

This goal is in stark contrast to Howard's awkward hook. What can I say? This is the real superstar!

"Haha, an understatement goal, Parsons has to guard even harder today. The Grizzlies easily scored the first goal and the game continued."

After Link scored, he looked over Parsons, looked at Howard, and shrugged at "Warcraft".

Super star? You are not worthy now.
