Chapter 666 (1/2)
In the past, when people mentioned the mask in the NBA League, people would surely think of Richard Hamilton, one of the ”piston five tigers”.
But Hamilton's peak time has been too long, now if we mention the mask, people's first thought will be link.
Although link wore a mask for two games, the two masks in both competitions were classic.
After the game with warriors, the League also chose silence. Link put a sticker on the transparent mask, which was equivalent to a sidekick against the league rules.
However, since link did not bring any negative impact, he also set off a wave of mask mania among fans, adding a lot of popularity to the league. As a result, the alliance did not continue to deal with this matter.
In the next game, link will stick Rachel's name all over the place, and the League will not object to it.
Looking at his own mask on the Internet, link is not proud.
Of course, he likes Rachel's mask. Although it's just two small stickers, he is very attentive.
Now, though, link is focused on winning 15 games in a row. Originally he didn't care much about the record, but Dwight Howard's conceited attitude still made link feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, the record of a team's winning streak does not represent the strength of a team. The Mavericks started the 2002-03 season with 14 consecutive wins, but lost in the Western Conference finals, leaving the team almost forgotten.
The Celtics, who also set the opening record for 14 consecutive wins, were led by Bill Russell, the ”king of the rings” at 57-58. But because of losing in the finals, the record is rarely mentioned.
So why is the Rockets so famous for their 15 game winning start? In fact, not only is this the league's longest opening streak, but also because the Rockets won the championship that year.
If Olajuwon had not led the Rockets to the title, then the record would not have been so famous.
To put it bluntly, the championship is the absolute principle. Other records, at best, are just icing on the cake.
Is the 73 victory record of the warriors great enough? But it is because they did not win the championship that the first thing people think about is not greatness, but the ridicule of 73 wins.
As a result, link's initial interest in the record was modest. But now, he really wants to get the Rockets out of the first place in history.
The cow that Howard blows, link is not responsible for cooperating.
In fact, it's not the first time Howard has annoyed his opponent this season.
In the past, Howard gave people the image of a big sunny boy. Although he has a strong style of playing, he has a good character and is always smiling at any time. He has basically no conflict with anyone. During the magic period, even if Garnett had many times wanted to cause conflict, Howard ignored it.
But after working with Kobe for a year last season, Howard's smile was less. He has also become less optimistic and angry on the pitch. You can't stop spouting rubbish words, even fists and feet.
So far this season, Howard has had more than one T-shirt because of court conflict. This guy seems to be holding his breath, trying to prove that he is still a superstar and regain respect. And anyone who looked down on him had a grudge.
There's nothing wrong with trying to prove himself again, but Howard's a little bit too hard, and he's going in the wrong direction.
It's not that the worse you are on the court, the more respected you are.
However, Howard is on the way to ”get worse”. Now, the world knows Howard has a bad temper. But it didn't bring his popularity back to its peak or win him more respect.
The world of basketball is always talking with basketball.
Howard also knew this, so he picked one of the strongest opponents and said, ”guard the glory of space city.”
