ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Nico Rosbergs bid to overtake teammate Lewis Hamilton in the standings for his first title on the final day of a gripping Formula One season lasted three seconds. http://www.superstarrosepascher.fr/adidas-yeezy-boost-350-soldes.html .That was the time it took Hamilton to shoot past him as he coasted to victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and secured his second championship.Rosberg missed out on his maiden title after a topsy-turvy season that tested the Mercedes rivals — and their friendship — to the limit.With double points on offer in Abu Dhabi, the German driver could have clinched the title by winning the race and hoping Hamilton finished third or lower.Instead, he had problems throughout the race and tumbled down the leaderboard, crossing the line in 14th place for his third worst performance of the campaign.Im very disappointed. All in all, Lewis deserved to win the championship, Rosberg said. What happened to me had no impact, it did not change anything so there is no point focusing on that.Overall, Hamilton won 11 races and scored 384 points, while Rosberg won five and got 317.I came very close and it is a pity it did not work out, Rosberg said. Im proud to have been here with the team. Its been very intense, a very special weekend for me with so much support.Rosberg often refers to the fact that he bettered Hamilton in qualifying this season, taking 11 pole positions compared to seven for Hamilton.Ive been the better qualifier over the last two years and that gives me a good base, he said.That is only if he starts converting those pole positions into wins on a more regular basis, since Hamilton continues to prove he is the more composed driver when both cars are at full tilt.Rosberg was in control early on in the season, placing in the top two in the first seven races, with Hamilton retiring from two of them. Hamilton caught up and then pulled away after the summer break on the back of five straight wins.Rosberg stopped the rot two weeks ago by beating Hamilton in Brazil.Its been so intense between us all year long. Good moments and bad, Hamilton said. Hes going to be quick for a long time. It could have been either one of us today, we both wanted it.Although they go back to teenage days when they raced go-karts against each other, this did not protect their relationship under the intense strain of racing.The tension rose when a grinning Rosberg clearly goaded a stern-looking Hamilton in Thursdays pre-race news conference, urging him to race cleanly.Hamilton tried to blank Rosberg with flat, emotionless answers in the days leading up to the race and, when it counted, he answered him emphatically on the track.The seeds of discontent were sown long before Abu Dhabi, which came after months of bickering and even team orders for both of them to calm down.It started in May, when Hamilton was furious with Rosberg after an incident late in qualifying cost him pole position in Monaco.He was even more livid with Rosberg in Belgium, where the team was plunged into crisis mode after Hamilton accused his rival of deliberately nudging into him and bursting his tire.Hamilton acknowledged on Sunday that he had to hold back that day in Spa.Going back a few years, I would have chosen another way (to deal with it) which wouldnt have been positive, he said. I came back to the next races with a slightly different approach.Still, they were gracious enough after Sundays race.(Rosberg) just came into the room just now, he was very professional. He said Fantastic, you drove really well, Hamilton said after his 33rd career GP win. Nico put up an incredible fight throughout the year. We said way back in 1997 that it would be amazing if we were fighting for the title one day.Hamilton, at least, will know exactly how Rosberg feels.He lost the title to Kimi Raikkonen by one point in 2007 and beat Felipe Massa by the same margin the following year.

Adidas Supercolor Femme Pas Cher . -- LeGarrette Blount wasnt satisfied with three short touchdown runs, not against a team coming off the second greatest comeback in playoff history. http://www.superstarrosepascher.fr/adidas-superstar-soldes.html . PETERSBURG, Fla.PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Trail Blazers made their first seven 3-pointers against Charlotte and from there it almost seemed too easy. "Making shots is contagious," said Wesley Matthews, who had 25 points, including five of Portlands 21 3-pointers, in a 134-104 rout of the Bobcats on Thursday night. The 21 3-pointers matched a franchise high, set in a 139-105 victory at the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 14, and made Portland the first NBA team to have two games in one season with at least 20 3-pointers. Damian Lillard 24 points, making all six of his 3-point tries, and the Blazers finished by making 63.6 per cent of their 33 attempts. The NBA record for 3-pointers in a single game is 23. "It was a lot of fun," said Lillard, who has made at least four 3-pointers in four straight games. "Shots were falling." With the win, Portland upped its record to 26-7 and moved back into the top spot in the Western Conference. It was the season-high fifth-straight loss for the Bobcats, who were coming off a 112-85 loss to the Clippers the night before. Charlotte has lost six straight in Portland. Chris Douglas-Roberts came off the bench to lead the Bobcats with a season-high 20 points. Al Jefferson added 19. The 21 3s were the most the Bobcats had ever allowed in franchise history. "Our team is thinking too much about offence, we have individual guys who need to build their games around their defence and theyre worried about theyre offence," Bobcats first-year coach Steve Clifford said. "Were not built that way. Were not going to be outscoring people. If were not going to commit to defence and rebounding, then were limited in how good we can be." The Blazers were coming off a 98-94 come-from-behind victory at Oklahoma City on New Years Eve. The win snapped a two-game losing streak, the first back-to-back losses for Portland this season. Charlotte has been known this season for its defence. The Bobcats have held opponents to under 100 points 24 times this season, and they went into the game ranked third in the league for points allowed with an average of 93.8. But they couldnt sttop Portland, which led by as many as 32 points. http://www.superstarrosepascher.fr/nike-roshe-one-soldes/nike-roshe-one-print-soldes.html. The Blazers went ahead 23-9 early after a 14-0 run that included four straight 3-pointers. Mo Williams 3 pushed Portlands lead to 33-13. Meyers Leonards dunk off a dish from Williams upped the lead to 49-29 and the Blazers were ahead 70-49 at the half. Matthews led all scorers with 17 points, while Jefferson had 11 for Charlotte. Matthews said hes just taking the shots that are there. "Im trying to focus on everything but shooting and it seems to be paying off for me," he said. Lillard hit a 3-pointer that gave the Blazers an 89-64 lead midway through the third, and Charlotte was essentially out of it. Portland led 100-77 going into the fourth quarter. "These are the games you love playing," said Williams, who had 15 points and 10 assists. LaMarcus Aldridge had 10 points and 15 rebounds for his team-leading 19th double-double of the season. Blazers coach Terry Stotts sat his starters early in the fourth quarter. "I knew about our record, I knew about the NBA record. But I didnt want to get caught up in that," Stotts said. "If we fell into it, then thats great, but I thought the guys who played in the fourth quarter played the game the right way. They were aggressive, they moved the ball. Defensively, they played hard. I think its bad karma to go out and try to do that." Clifford also rested most of his starters late in the game. "I dont feel we were ready to play," Douglas-Roberts said. "Theyre too good not to come out and give a 100 per cent effort. We kind of have to do some soul-searching and turn this thing around." NOTES: The Blazers have assigned guard C.J. McCollum to the Idaho Stampede, the Trail Blazers NBA D-League affiliate. McCollum, the 10th overall pick in last years NBA draft out of Lehigh, has been sidelined since fracturing his foot in training camp. ... Portlands 39 points in the first quarter matched their season high for this season. ... The Blazers have made at least eight 3-pointers in eight consecutive games for the first time in franchise history.
