Lin Yaozu, Zhao Hai, Yang Tianxiong, Song Shihong and others also flew to Houston, they came to congratulate Ding Hongxing on winning a son, and by the way, they also came to watch the playoffs of the Rockets.
Ding Hongxing's popularity is very good in the team, he has always been the hardest working one in training, and he is very good to his teammates, he is willing to selflessly teach his skills to every teammate, and he will help his teammates if they have any difficulties, so everyone on the Rockets team likes him very much, and now that Ding Hongxing is a father, they are all really happy for him.
In that happy atmosphere, the Rockets slaughtered the Seattle SuperSonics in their first playoff game.
Ding Hongxing played only 32 minutes, slashed a triple-double of 51 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, and also had five steals and three blocks, helping the Rockets beat the SuperSonics 129-83 and made a good start to the playoffs.
Ding Hongxing's outstanding performance caused an uproar in the media, this is Ding Hongxing's first time playing in the playoffs, he was a player with no playoff experience at all, generally speaking, players who lack playoff experience in the playoffs, their performance will be discounted compared with the regular season, because the opponent's defensive intensity will be increased by a notch, but Ding Hongxing seems to play more easily in the playoffs.
Some media believe that Ding Hongxing still retains his strength in the regular season, which seems unbelievable, his data in the regular season is so good, does he still retain his strength? However, this first playoff game has forced them to believe this unbelievable view.
Ding Hongxing said in the post-match interview that he gave this victory to his two newborn sons, and he hoped that the children could grow up healthy and happy.
Ding Hongxing also revealed for the first time the names he gave to his two sons, one is called Ding Yunrui and the other is Ding Yuncong.
The second game was held in Houston, on the 27th, the Rockets had two days off, Ding Hongxing in addition to participating in the team's joint practice, the rest of the time was spent with his wife and son, for him, a game is not much of a burden, he still has enough energy to accompany his family.
Rui Rui and Cong Cong are so cute, Ding Hongxing is still a father for the first time in his life, when he thinks of these two little tricks and will call him dad in the future, he has an indescribable feeling in his heart, a warm feeling, his heart is numb, and he can't wait to pick up the two little tricks and kiss them.
The two little tricks are now breastfeeding, Lu Chaohui risks not being able to recover in the future, she must breastfeed, in order to make the two little tricks full, she eats a lot of things every day, including those milking things, and now she has a lot of milk.
At night, Ding Hongxing insisted on taking the child by himself, he had to get up at least a few times a night, because the child had to feed, to urinate, he had to get up to do it, and when the child was feeding, he had to carefully wake up Lu Chaohui and let her feed, he had never done these things in his previous life, and he had to do it himself in this life before he felt that he was a complete father and a complete man.
Of course, if there was a game the next day, the old people would not let him take the child, so Shen Shuzhen and Zou Xiaofeng would come to live with Lu Chaohui, and they would take the child.
On April 27, the Rockets' second playoff game was still played at home, and the Seattle SuperSonics had already made 12 percent effort in this game, and Payton fought to six fouls in the process of defending Ding Hongxing, but they still couldn't prevent the Rockets from winning another big game 124-91 and getting a match point.
Ding Hongxing played 33 minutes in this game and once again cut a triple-double of more than 50 points, and now if Ding Hongxing does not cut a triple-double in any game, everyone will think that he did not play well in this game.
The third game between the two teams will be moved to Seattle on the 30th, and if the Rockets can win on the road, they will sweep the SuperSonics and advance to the Western Conference Final Four, and their opponent in the second round of the playoffs will be the winner between the Utah Jazz and the San Antonio Spurs.
Ding Hongxing was still with his wife and son in Houston, and he didn't fly to Seattle until the day of the game, hoping to win this game so that he could spend more time with his family.
However, when a team is in a desperate situation, there will always be some special strength, and the same is true for the supersonic team, in the first two games, they seemed powerless in front of the Rockets, but in this game, they were three military lives, coupled with the tsunami-like cheering of their home audience, which really made the players of the Rockets nervous, and there were some deformations in the shooting action as soon as they were nervous, and it was difficult to shoot if the shooting action was deformed, in the first quarter of the game, except for Ding Hongxing and Olajuwon, The others combined for 1 of 12 shots, and the defense couldn't defend them, and they trailed by a full 13 points by a full 18-31.
Ding Hongxing knows that this can't be blamed on his teammates, most of them are rookies, or players who have not played in the playoffs, and those with playoff experience are pitiful, he can't expect them to be the same as himself, with super psychological quality, it is normal to be abnormal in the playoffs, how many superstars have the experience of being abnormal in the playoffs In fact, this is also a good thing, in this kind of game it is better to be abnormal than in the seventh game of the finals, and now the opponent is weaker, and he can still pull it back by himself, If a strong opponent in the final and a teammate does not play properly, it is almost a foregone conclusion.
During the interval, Ding Hongxing and Olajuwon had a small meeting with their teammates, they asked several other teammates not to be nervous, but they didn't need to attack, the responsibility of attacking was handed over to the two of them, and the only task for the others on the field was to defend with all their might, just prevent the opponent's attack, no matter how nervous, the defensive skills will not be lost.
