Chapter 332 The end of the road trip, the attack on UCLA
On March 16, the Bulls challenged the Rockets at the Compaq Center. The Rockets currently rank 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 25-39. This record is difficult for them to enter the playoffs even in the Eastern Conference.
Because their boss, Francis, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his life, snatched all the limelight from the rest of the Western Conference All-Star Game with Kobe in the All-Star Game. I wonder if it was sensed by God. Not long after the All-Star Game, he began to miss the game due to a foot injury. Recently, he was completely diagnosed as a seasonal reimbursement by the team doctor. This is no different from an unrestrained disaster for the Rockets.
At the end of the previous life, they were like the Spurs, lucky enough to get a No. 1 pick, but the Rockets' chance of replicating this miracle is too small. Because of Li Lei's rise, many bad teams have seen the commercial value of Chinese players in the NBA. This is all money. No NBA boss will dislike his own money. Even if he chooses one as a vase, he can sell a lot of tickets. This is much better than choosing a local sub-production. Parallel players have no box office appeal.
The core of the Rockets is the topic of Prince Eddie Griffin and the old cat Mobri. As for other things, Walter Williams and others, they are just waiting to die. Tom Janovic, the champion coach, was helpless when facing a bad deck of cards in his hand.
Eddie Griffin, like Li Lei, is a storied figure in the freshman draft, but Li Lei relies on strength, while the other party is topical. The reason why he participated in the freshman draft was because he fought with his teammates in college and was persuaded to leave by the school. In no way, he had to choose to participate in the draft, but was actually selected by the seventh pick in the first round, and then was replaced by the Nets to Houston.
This guy has nothing to say about talent. If he has a normal mind and a little self-disciplined, it is still a problem to become an All-Star. However, the two points mentioned above are natural barriers that 90% of black players cannot overcome. If you can really cross these two aspects, you will basically be MVP-level existences the most.
Eddie Griffin plays very active. He can play the fourth and fifth positions. He is also a famous Akima Mountain Racing God and Jay Williams, two of the NBA drivers, both of whom are known as the NBA. They are both because of driving.
Ewing did not start, and Gorillas did not complain. He was a very good team player. In this regard, he was very similar to Duncan, but compared to Duncan's ability to withstand pressure, Ewing was much worse. This guy, Li Lei was really a pity for the opponent, because compared with the other three centers, in terms of teammates, Gorillas really couldn't compare with the other three people, O'Neal won't talk about it now.
Just like Olajuwon and Admiral, Olajuwon had no outstanding teammates during his first championship, but at the beginning of his career, Ralph Sampson, a super insider, and Olajuwon played in the finals with the opponent, but was educated by Larry Bird. In the second championship, there was a glider Drexler. As for Ewing, who are his partners around him, Bernard King, CNB, and Aunt, who else can you remember? It seems that there is no more. Apart from Aunt and CNB, Bernard King, these three people are an early NBA cancer brush. What else will he do besides scoring points?
I won’t talk about the Admiral. I have the best in history to take it, even if O’Neal’s grandmother follows Duncan, she can win the championship.
Ewing played against Eddie Griffin in the second quarter, and the latter wanted to deduct Ewing. As a result, the Gorilla predicted this and instead gave the opponent a hat. Eddie Griffin was so angry that he wanted to cause trouble for the Gorilla. What was so painful was that no one of the Rockets helped him, and they were all looking at him coldly. How popular is this so that he can get to this point.
There was no suspense in the final game. The Bulls won the game and their record reached 56-11. After playing this away game, their next game was at home three days later, facing the Hawks.
Li Lei did not return to Chicago immediately, but flew to Pittsburgh again, because there will be the second round of the UCL Championship on the 17th.
This second round opponent is very coincidental, and it is the University of Cincinnati, their opponent in the top 16 last year. I didn’t expect that UCL would meet the opponent in the second round this year. It’s really a bad fate.
In the Citizen Arena, Li Lei met Bill Walton, the senior of UCL, as well as Steve Logan and the O. The two Cincinnati celebritys also came. Steve Logan was not a famous person, and only the O.
"Hey, Bruce, have you watched the Brown Bears game too? Your Bulls have a really good record recently."
Bill Walton is not a commentator today. Like Li Lei, he came to cheer for UCL. This kind of father-son game is the most popular. Although UCL has no Li Lei, there is no one in Cincinnati. The comparison between the two sides is just who is weaker.
Li Lei smiled and sat on the side. The embarrassing thing was that Oscar Robertson's position was not far from Li Lei, which means that the other party could hear the topics Bill Walton and him.
The head coach of the University of Cincinnati is still the unlucky last year. Although UCL has no bug Li Lei, the other core personnel of UCL have not changed. The University of Cincinnati is in a more miserable situation because they were eliminated in the round of 16 last year, which made them not get any good results. This time they faced UCL in the second round, which is already booked. This game will be a tragedy.
The progress of the game was similar to what the head coach thought. In the first half, Barnes used his off-ball and defense to make the opponent miserable. Now Barnes plays like a combination of Bowen and Tony Allen, with the latter's defense and the former's three-pointer. Such players are still very perverted in the NCAA field. As long as the opponent they meet is not particularly strong, the winning rate is still very high.
Oscar Robertson and Steve Logan had dark faces. They didn't expect that the University of Cincinnati was so incompetent and was more than ten points behind in the first half. It was really a shame.
