Reverse Growth Superstar

"Then what, you guys work hard, kill the Houstonians and let them go to hell."

On December 25, Christmas night, the Grizzlies locker room.

All Grizzlies players gathered together, staring at a small mobile phone screen.

On the screen of the phone, there is a picture of Tony Allen, who is in a video call with his teammates.

Tony Allen was accidentally smashed to the head by a basketball during training yesterday. He thought there was nothing serious, but as a result, he found a right corneal injury upon examination...

Tony Allen will not be away for long, probably missing four to five games. But today's Christmas War, he must not be able to catch up.

Not only was he unable to play, Tony Allen didn't even have the qualifications to come to watch.

Because after the corneal injury, the team doctor bandaged him very exaggeratedly. Now Tony Allen has become a cyclops, it is very inconvenient to go out, and if the corneal wound is infected, it will be more than a loss.

Therefore, Tony Allen, who was unable to play or go out, used video calls to cheer his teammates.

"Yes, promise to complete the task, Captain One-eyed!" Link deliberately saluted, causing the other players to start making a fuss.

The dressing room atmosphere of the Grizzlies is still harmonious and cheerful as always. Although this game has been publicized as a fierce battle by the outside world, the Rockets Grizzlies seem to have to peel off in this game.

However, the Grizzlies players are not very nervous before the game. It is the healthiest mentality to deal with the game with a normal heart.

"Adam. The joke has arrived on the scene, this guy, I must be looking forward to watching us lose." After hanging up the video, Link continued to put on the equipment and chatted with Iguodala by the way without a word.

Iguodala's line of fire came back to fill the vacancy left by Tony Allen. Otherwise, it would be a big problem for Josh today if he can't tell.

Old Carter must not be able to carry that hunk, Iguodala came back just to match Josh.

"Houston Rockets have high hopes, especially after signing Josh Smith, they are more confident. I think the joke must have decided to watch the game because of this. Josh Smith seems to have become overnight. The savior of the Rockets." Iguodala opened his hands, he wouldn't let Josh succeed!

After such a long break, Iguodala has long wanted to return to the game.

But it is precisely because of the long rest that Iguodala may have to adapt to the intensity of the game again.

But he is confident that he can quickly recover.

He said that he wanted to protect the glory of the Grizzlies, but it was more than just cheating.

Soon, players from both sides came out to warm up.

Another year of the Christmas War, the Grizzlies ushered in another strong enemy.

Every time, people say that the Grizzlies will roll over at the Christmas War. But the Grizzlies have not lost on Christmas Eve so far.

After Link came out, he glanced at the stands. In the middle position behind the technical desk, I saw a smiling Adam joke.

The joke found that Link was looking at himself, so he nodded to Link to express his friendliness.

But Link knows very well that this guy is a smiling tiger! In order to change the pattern of his ruling alliance, he actually introduced an All-Star voting reform.

Although the result of the vote has not yet come out, Wallace and Pella have also indicated that they will vote veto.

But Link is very clear that the proposal will be passed with a high probability. Everyone hopes that their players will be closer to the All-Star Weekend instead of being sucked up by Link.

And this, maybe just the first step for the joke to suppress Link and the Grizzlies, God knows what he will do in the future.

Big ball market + Mr. Haohao, that's what the joke wants. Unfortunately, neither Grizzlies nor Link meet the requirements.

Link also smiled at the joke, and was still muttering something.

But after Link finished speaking, the smile on the face of the president of the alliance instantly disappeared without a trace.

I saw the joke clenched his fists, his face flushed from the soaring blood pressure.

Link's lips, the joke read clearly.

"Look carefully at how I destroy hope. You can't get involved in this game, Mr. President."

The joke never expected that Link would be so disrespectful to the president of the alliance.

It seems not so easy to tame a wild grizzly bear.

※※※

The Rockets and Grizzlies played fiercely as soon as the game started.

Harden was in great form and hit the first three-pointer as soon as he came up.

But the Grizzlies did not show any weakness. Jimmy Butler responded to Harden with a beautiful breakthrough. Harden's defense was a thin piece of paper in front of Butler.

It can be pierced with a little force.

The two sides played very anxiously, the Rockets did not want to lose to the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies naturally did not want to lose face in front of Christmas and home fans.

In this way, the two teams hit me with one punch to the rotation time.

In the ninth minute of the first quarter, Iguodala replaced Link when the two sides were tied, and finally stepped into the Federal Express Arena after a lapse of many days.

On the Rockets' side, new aid Josh Smith made his debut under the gaze. McHale didn't lie, he really put Josh on the first day he joined.

Iguodala was extremely excited, and he was of course excited to be able to match the Rockets' winning cards.

"Josh Smith is here. He just lost his job in Detroit the day before. But now, it has changed and become the key to the Houston Rockets' counterattack. The arrival of Josh has brought a qualitative change to the Rockets' flank. Let's take a look. , How effective is this change!"

Iguodala eagerly fists, and Josh slowly approaches him.

At this time, Terry, who came off the bench, was in control of the ball. He directed the offense from beyond the three-point line, and Josh Smith immediately went up to set up screens.

Iguodala hurried to keep up. When Terry went around the screen, Iguodala didn't change defense. He believed that Dravidova would entangle Terry.

Sure enough, the aggressive "Australian groundhog" squeezed Josh away and walked around to the inside, and he was worthy of being the thug next to the boss.

But at the same time, Josh, who was just doing the pick-and-roll, immediately went down and cut to the basket.

Terry's eyesight is quick and he passes the ball in the first time.

Iguodala wanted to chase, but found that he couldn't seem to make the best speed.

Sure enough, the body has not fully adapted to the intensity of the game!

But fortunately, Josh was not too fast, Iguodala still had physical contact with Josh anyway, interfering.

But Josh didn't have the consciousness to slow down. He carried Iguodala to the basket and forced a layup!

Iguodala was driven by the strong Josh, who succeeded in a layup under Whiteside's back defense.

Subsequently, Whiteside was called a foul, and Josh scored the ball.

Joining the Rockets for the first goal, Josh took a 2+1!

"Nice offense. The arrival of Josh Smith will make the Rockets' second team firepower to a higher level! Will the point difference be opened? Can Josh really change the game?"

At this time, the camera swept across the stands, to the president of the alliance.

I saw the joke applauded happily, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding Grizzlies fans.

Iguodala is very unwilling, and the main responsibility for losing the ball this time lies with him. It's been too long since I played a formal game, and Iguodala's physical condition is not at its optimal value.

But I met Josh who played with the body just as he came up today, and Iguodala was indeed a little unlucky.

And Josh, who was just waived by the Pistons, is now extremely eager to prove himself, and he also hopes that he can bring real help to the playoffs.

Therefore, he is more active than usual, and may even show a super level performance.

Iguodala encountered one of the worst opponents in the worst time.

Subsequently, the old Carter's layup was chased by Josh, and the fans at the scene stared.

Everyone thought that Josh was no longer good, but they didn't know that he had put out such a heavenly performance.

As the third best shot blocker, Josh seems to have brought his peak form to the Rockets.

After blocking old Carter, Josh received a basketball on the offensive end for the second time in a row.

Iguodala let Josh a step, the embankment broke through.

As a result, this guy, whose three-point shooting percentage has been hovering within 20% all year round, took this opportunity to shoot directly!

Josh Smith is notoriously daring to shoot, and it is precisely because he is too daring to shoot, Josh's shooting percentage has been horrible.

But occasionally, once Josh drew up, his external lethality was completely different.

Iguodala hurriedly blocked it, but the distance was too far to form an effective interference.

In this way, Josh's three-pointer enters the net with only a white wave.

In just three rounds, he scored 5 points in a row and blocked 1 shot. It seems that Josh's debut in the Rockets is destined to be quite successful!

Link shook his head. Josh in the Rockets era was actually a bit more "convulsive."

It usually doesn't look much, but once it is pumped, it may work better than Harden.

But I didn't expect that Josh pulled away in the first game of the Rockets.

Josh's two goals gave the Rockets a 5-point lead, and the balance seems to have been broken.

In subsequent games, Iguodala was repeatedly scored by Josh. Josh's impact in the counterattack made it difficult for Iguodala, who had just recovered from his injury, to resist.

In the second quarter, Josh continued to show excellent performance. Although he doesn't have much playing time, he can always break the deadlock in the few playing time.

The Rockets found an advantage in the rotation time, and the main lineup itself played well~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Finally, before the halftime, the Rockets relied on Josh who made 5 of 9 shots and scored 12 points and took the halftime. The next 7 free throws hit Harden, who scored 14 points, and got a 7-point lead!

57 to 50, the Grizzlies are in a rare position behind before the end of the half game!

McHale was very proud in an interview with the midfielder, expressing his love for Josh, "I knew he could bring something, I knew he could show himself. In the second half we will keep suppressing and strive to provide the Houston fans. Christmas gift."

The Rockets really seem to have an effect, and they seem to have solved their biggest shortcomings.

The jokes in the stands are satisfied. If the Rockets can extinguish the grizzly bears' spirit, that would be great.

But Link was not in a hurry, he believed in Iguodala's promise. He knew that that guy just needed some time to get used to...

Josh may be a very dangerous conspirator, but Iguodala, he is a player of the pinnacle level.
