101: The next opponent - the Lakers
101: The next opponent-the Lakers
In the next five games, Rachel scored good data per game of fifteen rebounds, and this data was based on averaging 37 minutes per game, and the efficiency was amazing.
With his obsessive data, Rachel also won his first award since entering the NBA, the best rookie in the Eastern Conference in a single week, and behind him was No. 1 pick Dwight Howard. In addition, the league senior executives also announced that Rachel was selected for the NBA's 2005 Denver All-Star Rookie Championship.
Through data comparison and analysis of efficiency, ESPN columnist Hollinger found an amazing news that Rachel's efficiency ranks fifth in the league. Behind him are Shake O'Neal of Miami, Kevin Garnett of Minnesota, Tim Duncan of San Antonio, and Jason Kidd of New Jersey.
But this did not arouse any resonance, Rachel's black was still crazy, and the excuse was that Rachel was still trying to make data regardless of her record. The reason was very simple. The seven-six players won one win and four defeats. In addition to winning New Jersey without an inside line, the seven-six players lost all the time when facing the Bulls, Pistons, Bucks and Grizzlies.
The Bulls lost a point because Iverson missed the chance to win. When Rachel faced the high school double treasure, she played forty-one minutes, scored four rebounds, four blocks, and two blocks, and seven points. The combined data of the high school double treasures was 24 points, 18 rebounds, and seven blocks. Among them, Curry, who faced Rachel, took up five of the mistakes.
When playing against the Pistons, the Sixers lost 27 points. Rachel played for 27 minutes and scored ten rebounds and blocked five points at a time. The game entered garbage time in the third quarter. Because the Pistons controlled Iverson tightly, the Sixers had no other scoring points, so they entered garbage time early. Although Rachel was at a disadvantage when playing against Da Ben, who played 12% of the performance, Pistons head coach Larry Brown gave Rachel great praise, and at the same time he felt that he should have given Rachel a full middle-class offer.
In the end, he was defeated by Michael Reed. When Rachel faced the old No. 1 pick, Joe Smith, he scored 18 rebounds, 10,000 blocks and one steal, completely defeating Milwaukee's inside line. However, he was eventually defeated by Michael Reed's 40-yard winning goal.
When playing against the Grizzlies, Rachel scored thirteen rebounds, and Paul Gasol, who faced him, lost the level of defense by Rachel. However, because the Grizzlies had too many scoring points, the game entered garbage time not long after the start of the fourth quarter. After the game, Paul Gasol, who only scored 14 points and three rebounds, said with emotion: Doug Rachel is really too difficult to deal with. He sticks to me like an eight-legged spider. He always has a way to make me uncomfortable. I think he is really the dirtiest inside in the league. I really want to see him compete with that guy in Minnesota! Because they are the same type of defense.
...
Fortunately, although the media still did Rachel as usual, several experts began to praise Rachel's defense.
But Rachel didn't have so much thought to care about these things. His current mind was all focused on the next game, because the next two away games for the Sixers were the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the game against the Clippers, Rachel completely dominated the inside line like a demon dog walking out of hell. She played for 47 minutes and scored 17 rebounds, 15 points and 3 blocks. Elton Brand, who faced him, only scored 24 points and 7 rebounds. In the end, with the super-level performance of Iverson and Rachel, the seven six people defeated the Los Angeles Clippers with a big score of 112:101.
After the game, Rachel took the initiative to attend the post-match press conference for the first time. What was for? It was obvious.
After a lengthy introduction, the reporters officially entered the time to ask questions. The reporters got straight to the point and left the first question to Rachel.
"Mr. Rachel, this is the first time you have come back to play games since you left Los Angeles. Do you have any special feelings?"
"Excellent feeling? Well, I'm very excited to play basketball." Rachel said lightly. She couldn't hear any excitement in her tone, but instead she heard a faint hostility.
"I'll face my old boss the day after tomorrow. Do you have anything to say about this?"
"What I want to say is, Michelle Kupchek, thank you for cutting me. Because of your move, I have found a better team. I am very grateful to you. The night after tomorrow, I will contribute a perfect match to trample on your pitiful self-esteem!" Rachel said coldly, holding the microphone tightly. Her hideous expression made people shudder.
"You mean, will you teach the Lakers a hard lesson?" Needless to say, the Clippers' reporter must be asking the question.
"Uh, you can understand that. Now everyone sees Kupchek as a laughing stock, so what I want to do is to make that laughing stock a little more funny and put on the clown's suit. Hey, don't you think this idea is cool?" Rachel sneered.
After saying everything he had to say, Rachel regained her habit of being polite to write. The reporter was tactful and did not ask Rachel questions anymore, and instead kicked the question to others.
Jim O'Brien said that in the game the day after tomorrow, he will formulate some special tactics for Rachel.
Dunleavy said he would watch the game that will be broadcast the night after tomorrow, and he said that he would definitely bring him back to Los Angeles once Doug Rachel's contract expires.
Iverson said that in the game the day after tomorrow, he will pass a large number of balls to Rachel, and he hopes to beat the Lakers.
Elton Brand said with emotion: Well, I'm sure I'll watch the live broadcast that night. You know, tonight I've taken part of the anger from that guy, which makes me very wronged. Is it because we're all playing at Stamps? Well, since it's already happened, then I hope to see the Lakers' inside line being ravaged by that guy next time. I think the Lakers' inside line will definitely choose to go to the dentist instead of going to the game, because when the dentist is seeing the pain, the dentist only sees the pain, and when the game is participating, their painful expression will be seen by fans around the world who are paying attention to this game...
