Chapter 247
There are many "great" special terms in the history of basketball-for example, "washing, blowing and cutting", which is an appropriate word to describe Bynum, such as "Six Steps"-this is a big disrespect to James, and then such as "volute", 60E, dark volute (again black me) and so on...
Among these great creations, none can match the invention of the word "strike iron" in terms of popularity and usage.
The so-called "strike iron" refers to the fact that the players have the ambition of peace and grandeur in the game. They walk like dragons and tigers, stop in the depths and stand upright in the mountains.
There are still 4 games left before the defending champion Lakers on April 9th. Of course, the good vision is that Houston will end with a wave of 12 consecutive victories and firmly hold the initiative in the playoffs. However, behind the good vision is the arrival of a special season that Ron is looking at right now...
As the saying goes, there are many rains during the Qingming Festival, and when the beautiful spring comes, it will be accompanied by the sudden "Sonata of Blacksmithing" in Houston.
Yes, you read that right, the whole team suddenly couldn't find the north of the basket in the gradually warming atmosphere!
Not only in Houston, but for a while, there was an endless sound of iron strikes in the league...
Dragic's three-point shooting rate was the first to be attacked by the league's iron trend. Not only did he end up in single digits every game, he lost the qualification to compete for the sixth man early, and he also lowered his shooting rate to below 40%, and continued to drop at a frequency of 2 percentage points per game...
Under the pretext of the "rookie wall", Mayo made more than 10 hits per game, unaware that his average scoring per game has fallen below the 20 mark, and he often claims to be a good scorer...
Ariza is more stable, because he has been playing iron all season...
Others who rely on hits to eat are even more complaining. Even the rims are broken at a rate of 2 per game, adding an extra expense to the Toyota Center, which really makes Ron stretched...
It's not a locator, it's not a character, maybe it's due to fatigue during the 82 final sprints...
But you can't blame your players, because the league is working hard. Fortunately, Yao Ming and Iverson, together with Mr. Sloan's basic structure of the defensive system, have allowed the people of Aerospace City to survive the crisis...
And what scares Ron is that if Yao Ming does not come back, Iverson will still be rebellious, and he will not play unless he starts. The Rockets will still hold high the banner of offense and rush forward like before the All-Star Game. Maybe it will be another struggle...
The history of blacksmithing in the NBA has a long history.In the prehistoric era, pro players wore ridiculous t-shirts, drank beer during timeouts, and used effeminate two-handed spot-up shots during games.The special historical background and low technical level provide a hotbed for blacksmiths to thrive.At that time, the league heard the sound of iron almost all the time, and there were "iron filings" everywhere, and those with a hit rate of not less than 40% were ashamed to call themselves blacksmiths.
Of course, in order to be promoted from a "blacksmith" to an "Iron God", it is not enough to have an extraordinary bad shooting skill and a thick bulletproof and explosion-proof face. This world is a world that pays attention to fame. Those passers-by who have been named by no one in three years after retiring are not eligible to enter the "Iron God" Hall of Fame.Therefore, people have reason to believe that the originator of the "Iron God" who really pointed out the future development path for the later iron sons and grandchildren is the great Bob Cousy.
Shaquille O'Neal can't be forgotten here. The Shaquille O'Neal's achievements in shooting with irons are far from comparable to those of their predecessors, but in free throws, they really have an incomparable talent.O'Neal's career free throw percentage was 52%, nearly 4 percentage points lower than his field goal percentage, and it was only 6% in the playoffs.In the 50 seasons so far, Shaq has made less than 1% of his free throws in 17 seasons, and his record of 7 free throws and 11 free throws in a single game is even more jaw-dropping.
There are talents from generation to generation, each leading the way for several seasons.The wheel of the times has been driving so far, and the successor of Tieshen is even more powerful in all aspects, Shengzu, who took over the guns of the martyrs with his head held high, and worked resolutely for the cause of Tieshen for life.
Let's look at the top ten iron gods who will fight the Rockets next. Any one of them can embarrass Cousy and anger the sharks.
First, the revisited T-Mac and his Knicks...
Mai Mai learned to be good, this time he did not dare to speak harshly before the game...
"Let's wait and see..." He threw down this somewhat ambiguous sentence during the pre-match media meeting, and then plunged into the game, fully prepared to start his revenge plan...
Tracy McGrady, quite possibly the most gifted swingman of all time, is also quite possibly the most gifted blacksmith of all time.Such a slender figure, such a stretched arm, such a high release point, such a wonderful parabola, when these things are combined, the iron shot is simply beautiful.
Since he replaced Gallinari, who was reimbursed for the season, as an unqualified spot-up shooter this season, he has seen D'Antoni kick almost every home team's locker room to pieces every night...
More importantly, McGrady has the most important characteristic of being an excellent blacksmith: never abandon, never give up.His motto is: Never be complacent about hitting 10 pieces of iron, because the 11th piece is waiting for you not far away.
Revisiting the old place, of course, you have to do enough to save face...
"Thank you...Thank you to the Houston fans who still regard me as a hero..." McGrady said after the game: "I will remember everything here...Thank you everyone...Houston should be able to go far this summer, I sincerely wish them..."
The cool turn around could not hide the fact that he only made 20 of 3 shots. The Knicks also lost 18 points and were swept by the Rockets...
The key is that before the game, in order to mobilize the whole team, the pick-and-roller who claimed to be more suitable for him than Yao Ming, David Lee, was still abused by Lao Yao in this game, which undoubtedly made him sad for a long time...
...
Tracy McGrady's success made the Houstonians surpass 50% winning percentage for the first time this season, with 32 wins and 31 losses.
The next Phoenix Suns, under the leadership of Leandro Barbosa, blew a sharp tornado at the Toyota Center, and a group of demons danced...
In this game, he shot 46% from the field, 2% from three-pointers, and 38% from free throws. From the data point of view, as a blacksmith, he is not qualified.But we can't see the problem so simply.
The Brazilian has a natural sense of iron, just like his compatriot Ronaldinho can always find the fleeting loopholes in the opponent's defense, Barbosa can always find the best time to strike the iron-there is only a difference of only 1 point at that time: when the team is most afraid of you hitting the iron.Whenever this kind of opportunity arises, he can always miss three or four three-pointers in a row (even from the same angle) with a cool demeanor, and then wait nonchalantly for Nash's next pass.
This made the iron he produced always be purer and deadlier than others.
At 99:98, the Rockets fine-tuned the lineup after Kyle Lowry's comeback, and made Steve Nash, who was in surprisingly good condition, hate Houston again...
...
33 wins and 31 losses, on the surface it is tenth in the west, but it can already rank seventh in the east...
Sending away the crazy Brazilian cowboys, Houston ushered in the three musketeers from Milwaukee... Oh no, it should be called the Big Three of Milwaukee smashing the rim...
As the saying goes: Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.What about blacksmithing?
First ask the good brother of the Green Arrows, the No-Browed Hero—this guy was a blockbuster in his rookie season and was selected to the All-Rookie Team. But after coming to Milwaukee, things went from bad to worse, and his playing time kept dropping.
The reason is that it is too obsessed with blacksmithing. With a height of 6 feet 11 inches, he doesn't even know how to write rebounds, blocks and defense. As long as he is within a kilometer of the basket, he will definitely take a shot. As a backup power forward, he suddenly has a lot of criticisms against the Toyota Center's basket in this game-more than 10 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage is less than [-]%.
It regards the sound of hammering iron and boos as nothing, and its concentration is so strong that it is difficult for others.
Let's take a look at one of the best shooters in the current Tie Shen, Zuo Reed, who shouldn't have a place on the list.
But when the touch disappears, the Bucks boss will tear off the hypocritical mask of "I am a marksman, not a blacksmith", and transform himself into one of the most violent verifiers of the life of the basket.
The trio composed of him, Brandon Jennings and Villanueva may be the most terrifying blacksmith combination since the birth of basketball.40% of his shots this season have been early-offense (not even touch the frame), it is unbelievable, but it is the truth.
In this game, Mayo, Ariza, and Dragic put all their strength into fighting the Bucks against the three-headed monster when Yao Ming chose to rest, and finally returned after a disastrous defeat...
"Want to challenge us?" Villanueva, the hairless hero who was 11 out of 2, smiled slightly.
Jennings, a first-year student who was 15 out of 3, took the words: "You guys might as well..."
"Go home, wash up and sleep!" Michael Reed, who only hit 22 goal in 1 shots, flicked his eyebrows proudly...
62:77, the two teams each got their own record for the lowest scoring this season, and parted ways...
The Houstonians are finally 34 wins and 31 losses, making another big step towards the playoffs...
Sending off the three musketeers of Milwaukee, this time they went to Detroit and Atlanta to challenge the Autobots Transformation and Eagles Wings one after another, and this time they respectively ushered in the duo of Hinrich + Ben Gordon with the blood of the Chicago Bulls flowing in their bodies...
These two good friends must be put together, not only because they were teammates who shouldered the rejuvenation of the Bulls dynasty, but more importantly, their blacksmithing skills were indeed brilliant for a while, and they were indistinguishable.
The suspension of the whole team made the people of Atlanta and Detroit eat dumplings, but in fact, those who came out to play will have to pay back...
Let's take a look at the menacing, imposing Eastern powerhouse Atlanta...
In singles, Joe is still keen to go it alone. Smith is also disrespectful when playing iron. Only Horford jumps up and down when dealing with Yao Ming. On the offensive end, he can only draw an equal sign with Chandler...
The most critical figure in the field, after the first-year student Jeff Teague, came on the stage...
A point guard who started out as John Stockton's successor, Hinrich is now one of the strongest contenders for the league's slowest-improving player.
His ability to organize offense and adjust the rhythm is like being sealed by the ice of ten thousand years, which will never change.
The only thing that has grown significantly is his frenzy and recklessness with his shots.
This year, the former Bulls captain's shooting percentage in Atlanta once stabilized at around 39%. When his teammates were at a loss on the court, all he could do was raise an angry hammer to the basket.
Dangdangdangdangdang...
Ever since, the Atlanta Hawks, who are used to playing double point guards in the fourth quarter, got angry and put Hinrich on the bench. Then Dragic, Mayo and Lowry formed a secret agent team to steal the ball again and again. The turnovers in the entire fourth quarter were more than the whole game...
Houston had the last laugh at 35-31…
...
Detroit Motor City…
Iverson, who was originally called to revisit the old place and will reproduce the killing moment of Pampas, sat on the sidelines because of a cold in a suit and leather shoes...
But the Pistons did not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As for Ben Gordon, it must be admitted that almost from the first day of his debut, he has been recognized as an excellent Iron God seedling and has been given priority training.Gordon's greed for shots is at the level of young Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson. When he shoots straight, he is more terrifying to opponents than Ben-****.
The thing is, he's still more terrifying to his teammates than Ben-*** when he's off the hook...
When the final whistle blew, when Dayao held his head high and raised his big hands, the Houston native, who had won 6 consecutive victories, was infinitely close to the top eight in the Western Conference for the first time in the playoffs.
Of course, being infinitely close does not mean that it has become a fact. To truly taste the taste of the top eight in the Western Conference for the first time, the Houstonians ushered in the best "Iron God" they must be wary of - Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder!
Thank you everyone...the fourth update today.
