642. The sigh of data control
It's time for basketball fans in both China and the United States to pay attention to the game, and the Lakers will face the Houston Rockets back-to-back at home after playing the Jazz to get their 35th win of the season. Huoran? Wen??? ???. ranena`com
So far, the Lakers have a record of 35 wins and 7 losses, and they have lost 7 games, which is not bad, but Lakers fans are starting to be a little dissatisfied.
You know, before the Lakers locked up the Bulls' 72-win record at the last moment of last season, that is, in mid-April, they only lost 7 games, and this year they only played 42 games, that is, half of the regular season, and the Lakers lost 7 games.
Therefore, the Lakers must not lose against a non-playoff team like the Rockets.
The Rockets also fell into blood mold this year and met Howard, who began to enter an unhappy state again.
After two years of playing Happy Basketball, Howard began to feel dissatisfied with his role with the Rockets.
At the beginning of the season, it was okay, and the Rockets players thought it was an accident to play poorly, but now more than halfway through the regular season, the Rockets' record is only 15-27, and they have fallen to the thirteenth in the West, except for the Suns who are the first to last in the West and the Timberwolves who are the second-to-last, the Rockets have the worst record.
Now the Rockets locker room conflict has completely exploded, and Howard has also had a reputation as a locker room cancer.
In fact, it is not to blame Howard, he has just turned 30 years old, and theoretically at the peak of his life, and his expectations for himself are to support the team's superstar status, which is normal.
Injuries are to blame, and Howard's back injury in the 2011-2012 season was devastating for him.
This is also related to Howard's previous dominance, and also related to the fact that the NBA was in the end of the center when Howard ruled the center position, and he has not encountered a stronger center than him since he entered the peak, so he will naturally think very highly of his position, and then can't accept the fact that he has seriously declined.
It can only be said that Howard's experience is a tragedy, and he can't accept his decline, and he is basically nearing the end of his rocket career.
The team's record is not good, there are contradictions in the locker room, and Harden, who is not particularly big, is now completely lost in Kardashian's bed, thanks to the fact that the Rockets' bench lineup has always been quite good in the league, otherwise they would be even worse.
The Rockets are miserable now, but the Lakers will not sympathize with them, they will only beat the water dogs, the NBA is such a cruel place, although the Lakers and the Rockets have a very good relationship, but they will not use their records to help the Rockets find confidence, at most they will not abuse the Rockets too badly.
The Lakers established the victory at the beginning of the first quarter, using Whiteset to attract Howard's hatred, so that Howard was going to harden with Whiteside, and break the rhythm of the Rockets from the beginning.
In the first quarter, the Lakers played a strong start of 34-16, and the Rockets were directly knocked down.
The Rockets want to say pitiful, there are only two people, not their players, but their two head coaches this year, one is McHale, who has been fired, McHale just signed a new four-year contract after the end of last season, and was fired after only ten games in the new season.
Now the head coach of the Rockets, Bickerstaff Jr., has also begun to become the owner of the black cauldron, no way, even if the Rockets can ignore the mood of the fans on the American side, but the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean is where the Rockets make money, they must find two superstars, Howard and Harden, and even the first two seasons have been known as the strongest in the league with scoring guards and centers, they must find a reason to lose, so Bickerstaff Jr. has also begun to enter the state of the black cauldron.
There's Harden, Howard, and Beverley, the league's second-defense player, and Ariza, the best piece of the championship puzzle, and Josh Smith, one of the most versatile players ever, and Thorton, Lawson, Brewer, Terry...... There are a lot of high-quality substitutes, and someone must carry the black pot.
After two months of leading the team, Bickerstaff Jr. probably knew his position, knew that it was unlikely that he wanted to stay with the Rockets, and he didn't have the behavior of wanting to change the team and make drastic changes when he first took over the Rockets.
Playing the Lakers today, Bickerstaff Jr. saw that his team was abused at the beginning, and he didn't have any motivation to think of a way, just look at it like that, change when he should be replaced, win if he can, and just let it go if he can't.
In the end, the Lakers won the game 115-102 easily.
The game was won, and the Lakers got their 36th win of the season, and the Lakers players were very happy.
Liu Ren was also very happy, but he felt sad from the heart.
Halfway through the season, the general trend of the players' statistics for the whole season has basically been determined.
Liu Ren is now averaging 21.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game, and he is a lot more versatile, because he needs a lot of passing time this year, and he is not particularly alone most of the time, especially Kobe Bryant has begun to play without the ball, so Liu Ren's average assists per game have reached a career high.
But in terms of points and rebounds, Liu Ren's average per game data has hit a new low since he hit the starter, and he has been excluded from the selection for some important awards this year.
For example, in the MVP rankings, the latest MVP rankings of the Lakers are ranked highest by Whiteside, and they are only ranked fifth, Whiteside is stable in the second rebounding list with an average of more than 14 rebounds per game, plus a terrifying average of 3.7 blocks per game, as well as a small number of shots, and a shooting rate of more than 60 percent, making his efficiency very scary, and he is regarded as the Lakers' most stable and efficient player this year.
In front of Whiteside are Curry, James, Durant, and Isaiah Thomas, Liu Ren is only seventh, Green is ninth, and Kobe is tenth.
Judging from the fact that four players have entered the top 10 of the MVP rankings, the overall strength of the Lakers team is recognized by the official and mainstream media of the league, but from the specific situation of the rankings, neither the official nor the mainstream media think that every player in the Lakers team has played well, and the general meaning of this ranking is that the Lakers players are very average, and there are four players who have entered the MVP rankings just because of their good records.
Playing the Rockets, Liu Ren contributed 20 points, six or seven rebounds, and three or four assists steadily.
This data, MVP basically don't think about it, and it's hard to say whether you can enter the first team of the best team.
The only thing that makes Liu Ren feel fortunate is that he is at the top of the best defensive player prediction list, which means that he still has a good chance in the best defensive team that doesn't pay so much attention to statistics.
As a data controller, Liu Ren, like Leonard of the Spurs, once again sighed for his stats......
