If the Rockets lose against the Lakers, they will definitely lose.

On April 19, there were only two games in the NBA, the Rockets and the Lakers, and the Spurs and the Kings.

The Spurs won the game again 87-70, giving the Kings what playoff-level defense is, and the Kings, who averaged 103 points per game in the regular season, scored more than 75 points in either of the two games.

After the Rockets lost to the Lakers in their last game, although they only lost by one point, Van Gundy still expressed dissatisfaction, and the reason for the dissatisfaction was Yao Ming's weight.

He thinks that if Yao Ming had gained weight as he said, he would not have suffered so much in this series against O'Neal.

Today's Rockets lost again.

Lost to the Lakers at 84:98.

Van Gundy said bluntly in the face of an interview with reporters: "Yao Ming's weight has suffered a big loss in the face of O'Neal, and we can't take the slightest advantage on the inside, so that Kobe Bryant will continue to impact the basket......"

Bryant scored 36 points in the game, including 17 free throws.

"I've asked Yao countless times to gain weight so that he can have an advantage against other centers in the league, and obviously he didn't do what I said, after two seasons in the NBA, he weighed just a little bit more than when he first entered the league......"

Van Gundy said: "Of course, there are many reasons for the loss, we didn't do a good job defending on the outside, maybe we should have prepared a little bit more before the game. ”

Lu Fei pouted when he saw this news.

What to prepare?

Ready to write a note full of tactics?

Van Gundy's on-the-spot adaptability is too poor, he will only play according to the pre-match predetermined tactics, but he doesn't know that the game is ever-changing, and if he can't make adjustments in time, it will be a matter of time before he loses.

The reporter also interviewed Yao Ming.

Yao Ming just responded lightly: "I think my weight is fine." ”

Concise!

Everyone understands that there is a problem between Yao Ming and Van Gundy, and it has reached the point where it is said in front of the media.

The team is also doing Yao Ming's work, but Yao Ming insists on his own ideas.

The media in the United States is also making a big report, some say that Yao Ming will be a champion who has fallen off the water, and some say that Yao Ming's performance is not inferior, but Van Gundy will not use it, and there are different opinions.

In general, when the team has problems, it is the coach's pot that bears the brunt of the problem.

But this time, Van Gundy played a hand to make the first move and threw the pot to Yao Ming, and it was indeed the consensus reached by the team from top to bottom to make Yao Ming gain weight, but no one expected Yao Ming to disagree.

The team's management originally wanted to put Francis on the shelf for a trade after the season ended, hoping to get another star and form a duo with Yao Ming, but now Yao Ming's attitude has made their hearts beat drums.

But at this time, they didn't think of trading Yao Ming, because the market effect brought by Yao Ming had already made the Rocket boss make a lot of money, and of course he was reluctant to trade Yao Ming.

It's just that the contradictions within the team have come to fruition.

Francis was the first to stand up for Yao Ming: "Every player has his own style of play, I think Yao Ming is an adult, he has the ability to make his own choices. ”

He said it more tactfully, without mentioning Van Gundy at all, but only expressing his support for Yao Ming from the side.

And Bryant Bryant in Los Angeles was not so polite.

Kobe Bryant said in an interview with the media: "Yao Ming is an excellent center, I think he is not inferior to any center player in the league, Yao Ming has a unique height, which makes him not play the same style as any player in the league, as a coach I think Van Gundy should adapt to Yao Ming's style of play, rather than let Yao Ming change his body type to match the coach." ”

As the opponent of the Rockets in the playoffs today, Kobe's words are tantamount to provoking contradictory disputes.

Van Gundy responded in the air: "Hey, look at your coach, Jordan once changed his style of play in order to adapt to Jackson's triangle offense, Jordan can do it, why can't other players." ”

Bryant was unrelenting: "Not every coach is Jackson. ”

Van Gundy: "If someone's lawsuit is over, play well, and don't worry about other people's family when it's a mess." ”

Van Gundy's words are almost insinuating to tell everyone that Kobe Bryant and O'Neal still have a bunch of things in the Lakers!

Actually, it's not complicated.

When Kobe Bryant was in a lawsuit, he hoped to get the support of his teammates, but none of his teammates did it for him, especially O'Neal, as the leader of the team, has been silent about his views on this matter.

So Kobe Bryant said the words: "I should do it like Shaquille, Shaquille gave those women money, and those women didn't talk nonsense." ”

O'Neill was furious when he heard about this, and he told reporters: "That's what he is, this guy is a joke, a clown, he did something bad and was caught by the police, but he said my name." I don't usually talk to him or associate with him, and I can't imagine how he came up with that. ”

The conflict between the two people was clear to everyone from the beginning of the season, but no one broke out.

The dialogue between Kobe Bryant and Van Gundy not only detonated the contradictions within the Rockets, but also uncovered the scars within the Lakers again.

Lu Fei felt that this was one of Van Gundy's tactics, and he tried to win the match by disrupting his opponent.

It's just that Lu Fei didn't expect that things would evolve like this......

On April 20, there will be two games in the East and one in the West.

The Eastern Pacers easily tackled the Celtics 103-90 to take a 2-0 lead in the series.

The Nets also knocked out the Knicks in the same city 99-81 to win the second game of the series.

This game in the West is a game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks.

The Mavericks seemed to be coming out of the last game loss, and Don Nelson, who was worthy of the league's most prestigious coach, quickly corrected the team's defensive mistakes, and instead of speeding up the offense, they used various means to drag the game into a slow-paced positional offense.

Just like the Spurs beat the Kings, they want to pull the tempo down and make the superSonics lose their offensive rhythm, even if their own offense doesn't work either, as long as the supersonic offense is out of order, they have a chance to win the game.

Sure enough, the supersonic game was abnormal in the first quarter, and the slow-paced offense made the players very uncomfortable, but after the second quarter, Lu Fei's dominant team began to fight with the opponent.

It's not good to play the position at the supersonic speed, but it also depends on who you play with, the Mavericks' interior defense is rotten like broken cotton, and it will be broken when you stab it, and Rashid Wallace slashed 30+ points.

Although the team did not score much, the SuperSonics still won the game in the end.

87:70

Anyway, it's just a matter of defending and pressing the opponent's score lower than your own.

After the game, Lu Fei changed his clothes and walked to the parking lot, and at the moment when the car was about to start, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Hey." Yao Ming's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
