The current Rockets are facing a dilemma, and by the end of the season, many teams have begun to play healthy basketball. For example www.biquge.info their main rival Pistons are more than 10 games ahead of the second place in the East, and the Lakers are also ahead of the Spurs to 7 wins.

The Rockets, on the other hand, are still far ahead of the rest of the team, but they are looking to hit the 73-win record so that they must maintain a winning streak in the next nine games. How easy is that? If you insist on playing every game, you can over-fatigue the player and get injured in the upcoming playoffs.

"It's a real dilemma." Dawson frowned.

"Actually, what is the choice, we have no way out." Yuan Fei smiled bitterly: "Then the multimedia and the fans are staring at us, if we back down at this time, our supporters will be very disappointed." At this time, don't think about other issues, you can only bite the bullet. ”

"I support Jason's sentiments." Adelman said: "The advantage is that our next 9 opponents are not strong, and the last game against the Spurs is a difficult bone to gnaw, but according to Popovich's character, the last game may be given up by the main team." ”

"That's right!" Dawson perked up when he heard this: "If the Spurs can pass this level, it will be difficult for the other eight teams to stop us." ”

"It's just that the schedule is not very favorable, and we have to play two back-to-backs, all away." Adelman frowned and said, "It's still necessary to arrange some rotational rest moderately." ”

"Even ESPN, which has always been optimistic about our team, is not optimistic about breaking the record this time." "Their simulations show that we have a 44.2 percent chance of tying the 72-win record and a pitiful 13.1 percent chance of breaking the record," Dawson said. ”

"But that's how miracles are created." Yuan Fei laughed.

As Ah Shuai said, the next thing the Rockets will face is the last tight schedule of the season, playing five consecutive away games in a week! The first opponent is the Seattle SuperSonics.

After the players on both sides came on the field, Ray. Aaron whispered to Reed: "Many people say that you are already the active No. 1 God pitcher, but I am not convinced. ”

Reed gave Aaron a surprised look. Aaron has always maintained a gentle and elegant gentleman's image to the outside world, and is known as the "gentleman Lei". I didn't expect to have such a small belly chicken intestines. But Reed didn't argue anything, having been with the Rockets for a long time, he has become accustomed to hitting back at his opponents with strength rather than his mouth.

It's normal for Allen to be dissatisfied, he averaged 23.9 points per game and was selected as an All-Star last season, but this season he went further and averaged more than 25 points per game, but he was not selected as an All-Star. The gap isn't his own problem, it's mainly that the team's record is dragging its feet, and last year's third place in the West is now unable to make the playoffs, with a measly 29-44 record.

What is even more unacceptable to Jun Zilei is that it is Reed who was selected for the All-Star team instead of himself. In his opinion, he is a first-line guard in the league and a superstar to compete with Kobe Maddie Iverson. But now that even Maddie's bench is riding on his head, and this substitute also happens to be the same three-point shooter as him, how can he be convinced? Now that the two teams are meeting, he can justifiably vent his breath.

In the opening game, the supersonic pressed fiercely, Yao Ming was slightly careless, and the ball was lost to striker Damien. Wilkins cut off, Allen received the ball and went on a fast break, seeing that Reed's defensive position was good and did not play strongly, he faked a layup and passed to Reedno behind him, who took the lead in the jumper.

Bosh missed a jumper, Allen attacked and took the ball and shot, and the three-pointer scored! He gave Reid a smug look.

"This is Ray. Allen made his 230th three-pointer of the season and he is the only player to hit more than 200 three-pointers! "Kenny. Smith explained: "And behind him is the opponent at this time - Michael Reed. Reid has shot 198 goals and is likely to reach 200 today. ”

Reed also hit a three-pointer on a jumper and missed the shot. Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and handed it to Billups for a layup.

"Michael, don't be impatient. Let's play slowly, and we'll win. Changxi pacified Reed.

Allen broke through the Reed defense and passed the ball to Chris, who was inside. Wilcox. This Wilcox is quite physically strong, and he can be regarded as the representative of the inside line of the Fauvist faction in the league. He used his speed and athleticism to take advantage of his ability to engage Yao Ming in hand-to-hand combat under the basket, turning and hooking shots.

But he couldn't limit Yao Ming on the defensive end, and Da Yao received a pass from Jefferson in the low post and easily put the basket away.

Allen was still venting his anger on Reed, he pulled the ball against the defense and shot angrily, and the ball went in! The home crowd gave their leader a round of applause.

Reed didn't play hard this time but chose to create chances for his team-mates, and he made an accurate pass to Bosh in the bottom corner. Bosh makes a three-point shot!

Lewis singled Bosh for a two-point shot. Both sides hit high percentages.

Reid seemed to be the only one who didn't feel good, and his shot hit the iron again. But the East is not bright and the West is bright, Bosh dialed the rebound out, and Billups took the ball and shot it.

Allen scored 14 points on 3-of-5 three-pointers in the first quarter, but they still trailed the Rockets by three points at 22:25.

This section is like a microcosm of the whole game. Allen continued to cut points, and Wilcox also played many baskets at a super level to make Yao Ming foul, but the Rockets relied on the overall superior strength to continue to expand the point difference. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Reed finally hit his first three-pointer of the game to stretch the margin to 17 points.

Supersonic coach Hill gave up completely and put Ray. Allen replaces. At this time, Allen had already scored 33 points.

"Damn, I still lost to that guy, I tried my best." Allen thought about it with a look of confusion, "Maybe I'll never have a chance to beat the mighty Rockets in Seattle, but there will always be a place where I can challenge for a championship." ”

Yao Ming and Reed were also replaced. In this game, Da Yao was trapped in a foul and only played 27 minutes and scored 22+10, while Reed only scored 6 points with a poor hand.

"Michael, if you continue to play like this, you will be overtaken by Brandon." Yao Ming teased: "Your 200th three-pointer, you still haven't scored." ”

"As long as I can win." Reed smiled frankly. His fame and fortune are very weak, and even if he has been a substitute for Maddie for many years, he has no complaints. It was the Rockets who freed him from his status as a second-round pick and made him famous. Reid is also willing to sacrifice himself to give back to the team.

The game was over, and although Wilcox showed his talent and scored the first 20+20 in his career, he still failed to get a win for the team. 107:94 The visitors took away the victory.

In the next day's game, the Rockets players showed exhaustion. relied on the 13+5+10 of substitute defender Spann to blow up the opponent's bench to maintain the situation. Reid hit a three-pointer in the final three seconds to narrow the 79-76 win over the underdog Trail Blazers and maintain a glimmer of hope for a 73-win victory. (To be continued.) )
