The Taoyuan Cloud Leopards lost again, losing 87-101 to Poeshen, suffering a 10-game losing streak. Since winning the opener, the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards have not tasted a win.
In the Taoyuan defeat to Poseidon , Howard played 26 minutes, shooting 5 of 12, 1 of 2 from three-point range, 6 of 9 from the free throw line, cut down 17 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, received 5 fouls and 1 body violation, and he scored only 6 points in the second half. Howard's performance is obviously unsatisfactory. You must know that he is the highest-paid player in the Taoyuan Cloud Leopards, and he is much higher than other players. Howard took so much money and he should have played better and led the team to win.
Howard in the Taoyuan clouded leopard, can be described as high and low. Howard made his successful debut in the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards, finishing with 38 points, 25 rebounds and 9 assists, leading the Clouded Leopards to a comeback of more than 20+. Howard's debut with the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards was a sight to behold. The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and Howard, who can't mix well in the NBA, shines in the T1 league.
However, just when everyone expected Howard to continue to reduce the dimension of the T1 league, Howard performed less than one game, and missed several games due to injury. In the following matches, Howard failed to make his debut, and the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards also lost 10 consecutive games.
While the team kept losing, Howard was hard-mouthed in an interview, saying that the loss was only temporary and that he had a vision to build a dynastic team. Howard also convinced everyone that the process would accomplish a great thing.
However, no one will believe Howard's words anymore. All lost 10 in a row, what dynasty to talk about? And everyone knows that Howard won't be around for long with the Peachland Clouded Leopards. It is quite possible that after this season, he will leave with the money, and then leave the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards with chicken feathers.
Howard played for the Lakers last season and averaged 6.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks while shooting 61.2 percent from the field and 53.3 percent from three-point range. After Howard became a free agent, although the NBA did not have a team to give him a contract, many teams overseas extended an olive branch to Howard. In addition to the Taoyuan Cloud Leopard, there are also teams in the CBA that extend an olive branch to Howard, including the Guangdong team.
Howard eventually turned down an offer from a CBA team to join the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards. In the eyes of many fans at the time, Howard would be the first man in Asia to be invincible in the T1 league and lead the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards to the championship. At that time, everyone would think like this, because Howard is still playing well with the Lakers, and in the T1 league, which is not as strong as the CBA, he should reduce the dimensionality of the blow. Howard's debut with the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards was indeed a dimensionality reduction blow.
So why did Howard disappoint and miss due to injury? It depends on what he does after joining the T1 league. After coming to Taiwan, Howard spent less time in the gym and was busy attending various socials and parties. Visit the night market, eat good food, and take photos with beautiful women. Howard didn't look like a professional player at all, he was more like a tourist to Taiwan.
Howard was already very old, not good at training, and all kinds of eating, drinking and having fun, and his state naturally plummeted. Goodbye, Howard. The first person in Asia is a joke. Poor Taoyuan Cloud Leopards, I thought that a strong reinforcement had been introduced, but I didn't expect that it was not the same thing at all.
