Chapter 290 Immediately after the first loss, nine consecutive victories!
By the 7th minute of the third quarter, the Rockets' lead had even expanded to double digits!

Of course, Yao Ming's high-frequency inside attack also exhausted his energy.

So in the 7th minute of the third quarter, when the Rockets had an eight-point lead, Yao Ming was also replaced by Van Gundy, ready for the decisive battle in the final quarter!
Facts have proved that even without Yao Ming, this year's Rockets are full of talents inside.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Rockets, except for Yao Ming, had mediocre touch and offensive status, the Eagles might not necessarily be able to take advantage of Yao Ming's off-court.

After all, Marc Gasol is the MVP of the Spanish League, and Luis Scola is also the MVP of the US Championship.

And compared to Marc Gasol, Luis Scola is obviously more adaptable to the rhythm of NBA games!

It can only be said that today the Rockets played pretty well on the inside, but the Rockets' outside line is a little bit behind!
And even if the other players of the Rockets feel average, the Eagles only closed the gap between the two teams to four points at the end of the third quarter.

In the three quarters, Yao Ming only played 20 minutes and was still behind by four points.

The Hawks played in the fourth quarter, facing the Rockets led by the energetic Yao Ming, they naturally continued to lose.

However, the same problem still exists, Yao Ming's offense and defense in the interior still lack some murderous spirit.

At least from Marc Gasol's point of view, although Yao Ming is still suppressing him in terms of strength, he doesn't feel that there is a big gap in strength between him and Yao Ming.

Even with the help of the Eagles' defensive system, Marc Gasol doesn't seem to be so embarrassed in his personal performance!
In the end, in the game scene, although the Rockets have a certain advantage, they have not been able to pull the game into garbage time.

Even occasionally, when Xu Lang suddenly made a 4:0 or 5:0 spurt, the Rockets faced the risk of being overtaken by the Eagles at any time.

In fact, the game lasted until the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Hawks were only four points behind.

This score gap must still be in a recoverable score state.

Especially in the Eagles' next attack, Tony Allen received a ground pass from Xu Lang, got a shot from beyond the top of the arc, and made a three-pointer. At one point, the gap between the two teams was narrowed to one point.

Okay, then Yao Ming made two consecutive strong attacks in the interior and added a block, helping the Rockets to expand the score gap to five points again, eliminating the possibility of the Rockets being almost defeated by the Eagles!
After all, although Yao Ming's arrogance in this game was not enough, he still failed to break down the Eagles' inside defense.

However, after all, Yao Ming is the only center player in the league with an overall strength rating of A-level. When he is physically fit, as long as Yao Ming wants to attack to the end, he will definitely be able to help the team score.

However, although in the end the Rockets won the game under the leadership of Yao Ming.

But looking at Yao Ming who played 32 minutes in the game, but only scored 28 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, three blocks, zero steals, and three turnovers.

Everyone clearly felt that Yao Ming was strong, but he didn't seem to be able to be so strong that he could be recognized by everyone as the No. 1 level in the league.

After the whole game, the first impression Yao Ming gave to everyone was not that he was very strong, but that he played a little peacefully and lacked enough aggressiveness.

Throughout the game, Yao Ming seldom had a continuous inside attack and a sense of oppression inside.

Most of the time, Yao Ming's inside attack is all to the point, just to compress the Eagles' defensive position.

Even Yao Ming did not have more than 3 dunks in this game.

You know, Yao Ming's opponent in this game is Marc Gasol, a rookie in the league, and a European player known for his softness.

Under such circumstances, Yao Ming did not dunk more than 3 times in a single game, which is obviously inconsistent with his status as the league's number one center and the league's only active super giant center!
Of course, it’s not that Yao Ming is wrong to play like this. After all, under the leadership of Yao Ming, the Rockets still won the game. Even if the Rockets’ outside touch in this game is not too bad, the Rockets may check in early. off work.

However, as the current No. [-] center in the league, he is the player with the most offensive firepower among active center players in the entire league.

Yao Ming's way of putting himself more in the auxiliary position in the entire tactical system is not so convincing!
This makes Yao Ming more like serving other Rockets players in the Rockets' tactical system, rather than other Rockets players serving Yao Ming.

This is not the tactical positioning that a super giant center should be in the team!
Although in the past few seasons, Yao Ming has been playing such a role in the Rockets' tactical system, but this season is different.

After further gaining weight, Yao Ming needs to play more aggressive and more offensive roles in the offensive end and tactical system when he discards his physical fitness and increases his risk of injury.

After all, before gaining weight, Yao Ming could stay on the court for at least 35 minutes, but after gaining weight, the most suitable time for Yao Ming to stay on the court is 30 minutes.

Yao Ming needs to make up for the lack of 5 minutes of playing time by playing more aggressively on the offensive end and scoring more efficiently.

"Obviously, Yao needs to take on more roles and more tasks in this Rockets team."

"If Yao's next game is like this one, and he can't play enough suppression and dominance in the interior, I personally think that this year's Rockets will still have a hard time breaking through from the West."

As a super center who once helped the Rockets win two consecutive championships, Hakeem Olajuwon knows it very well.

For a championship-level team, in addition to having a sufficiently deep lineup, it also needs the leadership players to have the temperament of a champion.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a team-oriented player, or a team-oriented leader, to lead a team to a stable championship.

And it's not just Olajuwon who thinks so, after this game.

Although the Rockets defeated the Eagles and won their first win of the season, the Rockets' unshakable No. [-] position in the team strength ranking list has been questioned by many people.

And whether Yao Ming deserves to be regarded as the top three players in the league has also become a new hot topic of discussion in the league.

At the same time, Xu Lang was not able to lead the Eagles to defeat the Rockets in this game, which also allowed him to get the first mission penalty since the system started.

Fortunately, for this temporary task, although Xu Lang failed to lead the Eagles to the final victory and complete the task.

However, the performance of the Eagles in this game is still worthy of recognition.

In particular, the Hawks' restrictions on Yao Ming and the interference of the Rockets' outside players on the defensive end made Xu Lang fail to complete this temporary task, but his performance throughout the game was still very good.

Therefore, when the system was punishing, it was also slightly restrained in terms of strength.

Originally, according to the normal punishment process, after Xu Lang failed to complete this task, he would randomly lose one of the gold-level skills he currently possesses.

Of course, it is said to be lost, but in fact it is just to reduce the level of a certain gold skill to the silver level.

Xu Lang can still upgrade the downgraded skills to the gold level through quick training and practice, and the characteristics of the skills will basically not change.

And this time, when the punishment of the system has been restrained, Xu Lang can choose which gold skill level to lower, which further reduces the punishment of this temporary task and the impact on Xu Lang's personal performance. .

In the end, after considering multiple aspects, Xu Lang finally chose to reduce the gold skills related to off-ball running that he hadn't used much since he entered the NBA, to a silver-level 0% state.

In fact, because in the past season Xu Lang rarely conducted offense and training related to off-ball running.

The progress of the golden skill that caused Xu Lang's off-the-ball running position has been stuck there and has not moved.

And judging from the current lineup configuration of the Eagles, there is not much possibility that Xu Lang will use his off-ball running skills within the next five seasons.

So it seems that Xu Lang's reduction of the gold skill level of off-ball movement has the least impact on his personal strength and the Eagles' tactical system.

Now that he had made his choice, Xu Lang naturally wouldn't hesitate any more.

And when Xu Lang needed to lower the level of a gold-level skill because of a mission failure, the Eagles received a lot of praise after the game against the Rockets.

In comparison, the Eagles and Xu Lang, who played brilliantly against Yao Ming and the Rockets in this game, and even at the last moment, still maintained hope of a comeback, were obviously more outstanding than Yao Ming and the Rockets in this game. people expected.

After all, since the end of last season and the Eagles completed the transaction, the Eagles have not been a team that people are optimistic about.

It's just that, because Xu Lang relied on his various performances in the Asian Championships to keep everyone improving the strength of the Eagles, and once again made the Eagles a top four team in the Eastern Conference before the start of the regular season.

However, even so, for the game between the Eagles and the Rockets, most people predict that the Eagles are likely to lose by more than [-] points.

Then, under such an unfavorable situation, the Eagles not only did not lose more than 1 points in this game, but also kept clinging to the game, forcing the Rockets to play until the last minute to establish a victory.

This allowed the overall strength evaluation of the Eagles to be greatly improved immediately, directly surpassing the Pistons, becoming the second team in the Eastern Conference and the fourth team in the league!

In fact, the Eagles did not live up to these media expectations. After losing to the Rockets in the opening game, the Eagles immediately completed a wave of three consecutive victories.

As I said before, the overall strength of the Eagles this season will not be weaker than last season.

Even, in terms of the team's upper limit, this season's Eagles, with Josh Smith replaced by Marc Gasol, the overall upper limit is higher than last season's Eagles.

In addition, the Eagles this season have been regarded by the league as a strong team in the playoffs.

Therefore, in this season, the league still takes care of the Eagles' schedule.

Outside of the opener against the Rockets, six of the Hawks' first [-] games have been against fringe or non-playoff teams.

For example, on the second day after losing to the Rockets, the Eagles continued to face the Sixers who lost Allen Iverson at their home court.

Although the Sixers, when they traded away Allen Iverson, they also got the All-Star pitcher Rashad Lewis.

Judging from the strength on paper, it seems that the strength of the Sixers has not dropped too much.

But in fact, after the lack of the leading star Allen Iverson, the overall strength of the Sixers has dropped by more than one level.

This is also an important reason why the 76ers were evaluated by most media as the lottery team in the East before the start of this season.

And you must know that even when Allen Iverson was there last year, the Sixers were not opponents of the Eagles.

What's more, the [-]ers, whose overall strength has been further reduced this year, will only be tortured when facing the Eagles, whose strength has been further improved this season!
As the All-Star pitcher that the Sixers have high hopes for this season, Rashard Lewis still played 20+5+4 in this game.

But obviously, as a pure pitcher, Rashad Lewis' ability to decide the game is not very strong.

As a result, Rashad Lewis's data may not be bad, but the 76ers' performance in the game is undoubtedly overwhelmed by the Eagles.

In the end, the Eagles had a 13-point lead at the end of three quarters.

In the end, the 76ers lost the game without a doubt and received their second defeat of the season.

The last defeat of the Sixers was to the Supersonics, Rashad Lewis's old club.

At least, so far, the Supersonics have chosen to trade their two leading stars, betting on Curry, Russell Westbrook and Sun Yue's move, which is relatively successful.

And Curry did not, as people have speculated, after entering the regular season, his direct three-point shooting rate plummeted, completely reduced to an ordinary rookie player.

Of course, this season has just begun. If Curry wants to prove that he is worthy of being the No. 07 pick in [-], he needs more game tests.

After the Eagles defeated the Sixers, they defeated the Bucks who selected Horford, and Oden, whose state was still ups and downs, and the Timberwolves.

And if it is said that the victories of these three games, because the opponents are not too strong, cannot prove the strength of the Eagles, it is indeed as strong as the media boasted.

Then immediately after the away trip started by the Eagles, they once again achieved a three-game winning streak.

Directly let the Eagles' overall strength ranking begin to sprint towards the Celtics who are number one in the Eastern Conference!
And if it weren't for the fact that the Celtics had played one more game than the Hawks and had a slightly better record than the Hawks, then halftime.

The Eagles are now ranked first in the Eastern Conference in terms of record.

And if the Eagles' opponents at the beginning are not very strong, then the Celtics' opponents at the beginning of the season can be called a group of weak chickens.

After all, in the first eight games of the Celtics, the only team that could be called an opponent was the Raptors.

And what makes it even more difficult for many people to accept is that even against an opponent like the Raptors, the Celtics almost lost the game.

Although it is said that the Celtics have formed a Big Four lineup this season, but before this group of giant players is glued together, everyone can play [-]% of their strength.

The Celtics are not as invincible as people imagine.

Especially when the Eagles, Pistons, and Spurs faced the Celtics, they directly gave the Celtics, which had won eight consecutive victories, a three-game losing streak.

The overall strength ranking of the Celtics was directly overtaken by the Eagles!

And not only the overall strength ranking was overtaken by the Eagles, but in terms of record rankings, the Eagles also overtook the Celtics and officially reached the top of the Eastern Conference.

After all, after their first defeat in the opening game, the Eagles not only defeated the Celtics, but also achieved a record of nine consecutive victories.

In this nine-game winning streak, the Eagles do have some opponents who are not very strong, but there are also strong playoff teams like the Celtics, Cavaliers, and Lakers!
Among them, against the Celtics, the Eagles won the game with a seven-point lead.

Against the Cavaliers, the Eagles took a 15-point lead and won the final game.

Against the Lakers, the Eagles also took a four-point lead and won the final game.

It can be said that after facing these strong teams in the playoffs and winning the battle.

The outside world's evaluation of the overall strength of the Eagles has not only been greatly improved.

The recruits of the Eagles also let go of their inner anxiety and re-established their self-confidence.
