The yellow storm in the NBA

Quan Xiao didn't know much about Andre Miller, and he never paid attention to this player in his previous life. In this life, he only played against him once last month, so he had a little impression of him.

In fact, Miller is a very capable point guard. As the No. 8 pick in the first round of 1999, he reached his peak performance in his third season, averaging 16.5 points, 10.9 assists and 4.7 assists per game.

rebounds, in addition to 1.6 steals, the overall shooting rate reached 45.4%.

Of course, he was 23 years old when he participated in the draft and is now a 31-year-old veteran. But his strength has not declined much, and he was able to score 13.4 points and 7.8 assists last season.

Compared with Alston, Miller has an advantage in almost all aspects, except for three-pointers. However, the Rockets do not lack three-point shooters, and they need an excellent organizer.

Take the 2007-08 season of the original time and space as an example to illustrate the performance difference between the two:

Miller played 82 games for the 76ers, all starting games. He averaged 36.8 minutes per game, averaged 14.1 shots per game, and an overall shooting rate of 49.2%. He averaged 17.0 points, 6.9 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 rebounds per game.

steal.

Alston played 74 games for the Rockets, all starting games. He averaged 34.1 minutes per game, 12.5 shots per game, and an overall shooting percentage of 39.4%. He averaged 13.1 points, 5.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 rebounds per game.

steal.

This is what can be seen from the data on the surface. In terms of defensive ability that cannot be reflected in the data, Miller is also better than Alston.

Miller is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms. This height and weight is very strong for the first position. Alston is the same height but weighs only 78 kilograms, which makes his confrontation ability very poor. When defending,

It often happens that you can't stop your opponent.

It can be said that Miller's arrival has greatly made up for the Rockets' shortcomings at the No. 1 position and is a good improvement for the Rockets. After the deal broke, many media experts believed that the deal was a win-win for both parties.

.

The Rockets got Miller to make up for their shortcomings at the No. 1 position. With a first-round pick next year, they may be able to find a good rookie, which will benefit the team's future.

Although the 76ers lost Miller, Alston is strong enough to serve as their starting point guard. Josh Smith has the potential to grow into an All-Star. He and Iguodala will become the key training targets of the 76ers.

, the future is promising.

"Raff, Josh, I'm very happy to have been teammates with you for so long. I have learned a lot from you. From now on, I will become my opponent, and I am also very happy to have the opportunity to kick your ass. You guys

Be careful, I won't be merciful when the time comes!"

"Hey, I also want to remind you to be careful. I have always wanted to know what it would be like to dunk on your head. Now I have the chance. You kid, just wait for me and see how I dunk on your head.

! Then share with me the feeling of being dunked!"

"Then when the time comes to compete on the court, I would also like to know what it feels like to dunk on your head."

Alston didn't say anything, and he didn't have much special feeling about the trade. He has changed teams several times since joining the league and has long been used to it. After greeting his former Rockets teammates, he followed Josh

Go to Philadelphia to prepare for the physical examination.

"Are you not used to it? In fact, this is normal. You will get used to it after playing in this league for a few more years. The flow of players is a normal thing. Maybe you or I will be the next one to leave. You have to advance in advance.

Adapt to the situation."

"Brother Yao, I'm fine. This situation is nothing to me. It doesn't matter where I play, as long as I can win the championship, I don't care which team I win the championship with. But when it comes to the Rockets trade, no one can

I will take the initiative to trade you, you are Alexander’s cash cow!”

"That's good if you think so! As players, we just have to work hard to play well, no matter if it's the Rockets or another team! I'm thinking about it now. If Alexander can only get in and out, I won't be used to it anymore.

I can go wherever I want with him and the other 29 teams in the league, and the treatment will definitely be better than here!"

"Haha, Brother Yao is domineering and mighty! This is the little giant in my mind! I say you should have been like this a long time ago. If you don't take advantage of your peak period to fight, you will have no chance to win the championship in the future! We are not in this league to be a fool.

It’s not about wages, but it’s about making a name for yourself and telling the world that we Chinese can also play basketball well!”

"If you are ambitious! Then work hard and let me see how far you can go!"

Quan Xiao is really not attracted by this

The impact of the incident was not that he was ruthless, but that he knew it was inevitable, and he had a premonition that one day he himself would leave the Rockets.

After recovering his thoughts, Quan Xiao started training. There is still a game tonight. Miller has not officially joined the Rockets yet and cannot represent the Rockets yet, so Quan Xiao has to bear more responsibility for the game tonight.

Fortunately, the opponent is the Timberwolves, who currently only have 5 wins and 29 losses, and are going straight for the No. 1 pick. Their goal is also very clear, which is to play bad games to get a good pick, and then select a good rookie in this year's draft.

, help the Timberwolves rise again.

Brooks was put into the starting lineup by Adelman and played 31 minutes. Little Black Bean's performance was also remarkable, scoring 24 points and 8 assists, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, a perfect performance.

Made his first career start.

Of course, it is also because the Timberwolves really have no fighting spirit, otherwise Adelman would not dare to let him play like this. Quan Xiao is also willing to use this game to train Brooks, so he can do his job as a shooting guard with peace of mind, taking the ball

Leave the power to Brooks as much as possible.

Yao Ming simply took a rest and found an excuse for muscle soreness. Despite this, the Rockets still defeated the Timberwolves 113:96 at home, leaving the opponent satisfied.

Quan Xiao didn't play long in this game, only 26 minutes, and scored 27 points, including 6 of 9 three-pointers. Scola and Wells also both broke 20, and the four of them alone scored nearly 100 points.

The day after the game against the Timberwolves, Miller passed the physical examination and officially joined the Rockets. Under the leadership of head coach Adelman and general manager Fatty Fatty, he came to the training ground.

"Everyone pause for a moment. I have met our new teammate. Andre Miller, I believe everyone is familiar with him. He will be one of us in the future and will fight side by side with us." Adelman gave a brief introduction.

Speaking of which, they have all played against each other. Even if they don’t know each other, they must at least know that there is such a person. Besides, Miller is not a nobody. Although he has not been selected as an All-Star, he is also a very capable point guard and will not be ignored by others.

neglect.

"Hello everyone, I am Andre Miller. I am very happy to join the Rockets and become your teammate! I am also honored to be a part of this excellent team. I will do my best to help the team, thank you!"
