The current performance of the Rockets is not satisfactory, they are the champions of the West last season, but the current record of the Rockets can only be around 6-8 in the West, far from securing their playoff spot.

For a team that just reached the Finals last season, the Rockets' performance right now is undoubtedly disappointing.

Fortunately, Celestial Empire fans won't be focusing all their attention on this.

The Eagles' record is expected to be expected, and as long as Da Yao can continue to stay healthy, it will be quite satisfying to contribute enough wonderful Celestial Empire derby with Erniu.

When it comes to the Celestial Empire derby, the imperial court will naturally not miss it, and this game will be explained by the double-flat combination composed of Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping, who are well known to the audience and friends.

And what about the parties in the Celestial Derby?

Before the game began, Da Yao specially called Er Niu and Sun Yue to go to dinner together, but the Hawks had to catch tonight's bus to San Antonio, which is also in Texas, so they finally declined Da Yao's invitation.

Speaking of which, the biggest gain of the Rockets this season should be the growth of Aaron Brooks, although Da Yao is still the No. 1 offensive option in the Rockets, but Little Black Bean has indeed grown.

As of this game, Brooks has averaged 16.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per game.

Compared with last season, Black Beans has become a well-deserved Rockets giant, and has also become the Rockets' second scoring point on the offensive end.

Many experts believe that Aaron Brooks is very likely to be a strong contender for MIB (Most Improved Player) this season.

There are gains and often losses.

The Rockets' biggest loss this season is the loss of the most important piece of the puzzle for their Western Conference championship last season – Ron Artest.

It turns out that even though Atay is a madman, he will intermittently lose control of his emotions.

He fought with James Posey in front of then-President Zipper in the players' union;

He clashed directly with Pat Riley in the game;

He also caused the infamous Auburn Hills Palace Incident.

Regardless, Atay is still a great piece of the championship puzzle.

In contrast, Trevor Ariza, who the Rockets signed for 5 years and 33.95 million meters in the summer of '09, did not reach the level of Atay on both offensive and defensive ends.

The Rockets have high hopes for Ariza.

As soon as Maddie gave up her No. 1 jersey, the Rockets gave the No. 1 jersey to Ariza, which shows Houston's expectations for the UCLA veteran.

It's a pity that half a season has passed, and Ariza has not shown the style of the former Rocket One, and the fans of the Celestial Dynasty gave him a fitting nickname "Tieza"!

His 39.4 percent shooting percentage per game was a career low for Ariza.

Half a season has passed, and the Rockets have proved one thing with their own personal experience, allowing Tiezha to attack with the ball, and Texas Xiaoqiang will inevitably be trampled to death.

Of course, Tieza's nirvana is not the iron striking in the impression of Celestial Empire fans, and at the end of the first quarter tonight, Ariza showed his most ecstatic technique.

The situation was that way, with the Rockets trailing the Hawks by two points at 27-25 in the first quarter, but the Houstonians still had the ball on the final offense.

After Brooks and Landry blocked in front, they entered the penalty area and had to pass the ball to Ariza on the flank.

At the moment when Tieza received the ball, time was running out, so the Rockets' current No. 1 hand was a long-range shot.

"Brush!"

The Nets splashed into the waves, and the Rockets fans in the stadium immediately stood and cheered and celebrated, while the DJ shouted Ariza's name.

And the audience in front of the TV also heard the loud cheers of Mr. Zhang Lili: "The ball is in! Ariza, he scored three points, and the Rockets temporarily overtook the score, which is too powerful, and it will be even more powerful in the fourth quarter!"

Indeed, even if it wasn't a full-court duel, this single-quarter duel was enough to cheer people up......

Teacher Sun Zhenping on the side also followed and said: "It is said that the performance of the Hawks this season is unprecedented, and now, the strength of the Rockets is not bad at all, the NBA is so exciting, there will never be a weak team in the real sense." ”

Wait a minute!

Why are the Eagles players so calm, and what is the matter with Tieza's constipated expression?

The big screen quickly gave the answer - it was a delicate hollow outside the basket, which meant that Ariza shook everyone in the room, and he threw a deceptive air balloon.

In other words, this trick is the legendary mirror flower and water moon, right? Ariza is this the beginning of the solution?

At 27:25, this is the final first-quarter score data of the two sides.

It's embarrassing!

Needless to say, the frustration of the fans at the scene was mixed with incredible expressions, and the DJ's momentary speechlessness was completely understandable, and the most interesting thing was the rescue words of Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping, the commentators of the imperial court station:

"Ahh

Weiping Bryant apparently lived up to his last name.

"Oh, I'm sorry, the fans in front of the TV, this goal didn't go in, so the Hawks still lead the Rockets by 2 points, so the Hawks are really better than the Rockets. "Of course, Director Sun's words are correct, but, it seems, it seems......

By the way, who just said that there are no weak teams in the NBA?

In the second quarter of the game, Ruan Erniu and Yao Ming, who played very average in the first quarter, exploded each other's passions, and both hit consecutive shots on the offensive end, and the game once fell into a long stalemate.

But at the end of the first half, after half a season of training, Dragic, who gradually found his shooting touch, suddenly broke out.

Claw hit three three-pointers in a row on the offensive end, instantly stretching the score of the two teams to double digits.

In the third quarter of the game, Da Yao and Scola broke out at the same time, scoring consecutive points for the Rockets to catch up with the score.

But at the most tense moment, Ruan Erniu and Yu Sen were still not soft, and successively used accurate shots to help the visitors consolidate their lead again.

In the final quarter of the game, Carl Landry and Brooks took the lead, scored consecutive points, and once again closed the score, and the Texas Xiaoqiang showed his most tenacious side.

At the critical moment, the veteran Mike Bibby stepped up.

Even if his role in the team has been reduced this season, Bibi has still been able to contribute to the team in a limited time.

Nguyen didn't relent, and his 18-foot mid-range shot was so consistent that it was desperate, shooting 7-of-8 in the first quarter to give the Atlanta Hawks their 42nd win of the season and their 15th consecutive victory.

To put it more vividly, the Eagles finally turned into a peerless lady in the last quarter, and Sister Pomegranate, who was admired by tens of thousands of people, trampled Texas Xiaoqiang on the spot.

As a result, the Celestial Dynasty Huomi suddenly became the embodiment of both wisdom and beauty, hero and chivalry, and beat his chest with 120,000 points of sadness and said: "Rocket! Rocket, what's wrong with you, Rocket ?......?"

Well, none of the above matters.

The point is, the Rockets lost another game, which may have a big impact on their ability to qualify for this season's playoffs in the future.

The competition in the West is so fierce that even if you get 50 wins, you can't guarantee that the team will make the playoffs, and that's the reality of the league.

Two days later, the Hawks traveled to San Antonio to host their second opponent in a two-game travel streak, the Spurs.

Before the game, Popovich said in a high-profile manner: "I think the Hawks are the best team in the league, and I would love to learn something from Woodson." ”

When Mike Woodson heard the news, he looked at the local Texas reporter who was in charge of relaying it with idiotic eyes, as if to say, "When is it okay to believe what the Spurs say?"
