Howard also tried to change his life in this game, but he is still far behind, and he has not returned to his pre-injury form this season, which is simply a discount in strength. This makes it even more difficult to deal with the Lakers No. 29 who "explodes every beast". Dwight. Howard made 0 of 16 shots and missed all free throws, scoring 33 points in the whole game, only getting 0 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks. According to the center's shooting percentage, he should score more than 16~18 on at least 16 shots, and this is still not counting free throws. Howard's own shooting percentage this season is close to 6 percent, so you have a better idea of the scoring problem in this one. With such a large number of shots and not a single point in place, it would be strange if the Rockets could win. In addition, Harden is still struggling in this game, and he can't seem to come up with any better way to open a breakthrough in the face of Butler except for "touching porcelain".

And holding the ball to kill the inside, that's still forget it, the vertical jump of the eastern center's basket is too standard, plus 291 pounds of tonnage, even if he brings acceleration, it is difficult to shake the latter's defensive cylinder. In this way, it is still the home court of the Lakers, and it is much harder than usual for him to hit the basket to get the whistle. The offensive and defensive scale of the playoffs, Rao is the era of body hair, which is also gradually upgraded compared to the regular season time. The first round is stronger than the regular season, the semifinals are stronger than the first round, the division finals are stronger than the semifinals, and the finals are the most intense and the most difficult to rely on free throws to win. Of course, the kind of "black box operation" can't be counted, that's a special case.

Well, at least David. This was the case in the Stern era.

Our Adam. It's hard to say in the era of Sival, but he's a man who dares to do anything for the sake of the alliance's commercial level. Finals? In order to be more ornamental, it is not difficult to forcibly create suspense. This is also the fundamental reason why the future NBA league will always be criticized for "referees stealing the show".

Just ask, if there is no greeting from above, these referees dare to make their own decisions?

Absolutely impossible.

Give them a hundred dares.

So it's basically fair to say, unless it's their own suspicion of gambling, like Tim who was in jail. Donahy, who wrote the famous NBA insider book, Whistle: Deception in the NBA, was in prison. Except for this situation, almost all "referees steal the show" are instructed by the top. Absolutely no problem.

For example, last season, the 13-14 season, the regular season required to pay 6% of ticket revenue. Not much, but what about the playoffs? Crazy! How much is the playoffs? 45%！！！ That's right, that's a full 45%!! And it's the revenue per game!! Looking at it this way, you can see why our new president likes to do things like to "interfere in the game" and "steal the show". Everything, the starting point is not who he wants to praise or who he wants to hack, it is the decision he makes in the context of the alliance's commercial interests.

It really doesn't have much to do with his private feelings.

In the future, he set a record so that the Eastern and Western finals were full of tie-breaks, which is also a crazy thing to attract money.

So when the Rockets return to their home court, it's hard to say whether they will do it or not.

Anyway, this game was cold, and Harden only scored a pitiful 14 points, and he was dizzy overall. There is no ability to score and demand in the regular season. This kind of first quartile that will be deflated as soon as it enters the playoffs is also enough. and the previous ones, there is a gap in grade.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won 119-95, won by 24 points again, and the score was 2-0, killing the Houston Rockets.

So far, the first home advantage has been completely maintained.

Tang Qian scored only 20 points in this game, but he scored 29 rebounds and 12 blocks, which is a big 20+ triple-double, which makes those expert reporters who were optimistic about Howard and the Rockets at the beginning don't know what to say. Especially our ESPN Channel 2 host, Super Jamey. Williams, his personal Twitter was blown up by Tang Mi and some good netizens, and the messages flocked in:

Williams, are you embarrassed? They won 20+29+12 data in this game! Where's your Howard?

Howard's new nickname "Zero Egg Huo" or "Huo Zero Egg", which do you think is more comfortable to pronounce?

I just want to ask, do you still dare to say that Howard is the No. 1 center in the league, better than Tyrant Iron?

He might be able to blindfold and say, oh, it's still Howard, I'm just dreaming.

I reckon he hates Howard to death, and he's going to go to him tonight with a bomb.

Jay. What can Williams say? He is not stupid, he can only pretend to be dumb and blind at this time, pretend that he doesn't see anything, and wait until Team Rocket or Howard wins, he will jump out again, trumpet and fight back. This is also an old routine on ESPN's side. Pretty much all the stars he targets play well, they adopt this strategy.

Well, a good "static braking" and "constant response" is not? Sure enough, it's the most professional sports company in the United States.

There is a set.

Tang Qian also reiterated at the press conference: The Rockets don't have any chances, they can't be the opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers, even if they lend God to them, it's useless. How do you know this, but it has been misinterpreted by many people, Tang Qian is saying that this Rocket team is even if it is added to the basketball god basketball god Michael. Jordan couldn't handle them either. For a while, the discussion on the Internet also became intense. In the end, he still thinks that the Rockets team who joined Jordan is stronger, but this has nothing to do with Tang Qian, anyway, this kind of discussion is "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong", which has no practical meaning at all, what he has to do now is to make the team sweep in the next two cities at the Toyota Center in Houston.

The next day, the NBA officially announced the new season awards, such as the best rookie, which was won by the Timberwolves' Andrew. Wiggins won it without any suspense. His votes are basically crushed, more than half, and the preferred votes are as high as 8 into 4, but the award of the best rookie is very "magical", many people won this award, and in the end they did not meet people's expectations for his career. It depends on whether this Canadian kid can be a member of the "influence".

The second thing to be announced is the most improved player, and this award belongs to the Lakers' Jimmy. Butler, who is averaging 16.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per game this season. His main contender is the Warriors' move to Steve Brown this season. Cole has a discerning eye and promotes Draymond in one go. Green. Green is averaging 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season. The vote rates of the two are very close, because Butler is on the Lakers instead of the Bulls in the original time and space this season, so there are a lot fewer shots and fewer rebounds, although the shooting rate and efficiency have improved, but looking at the basic data, his advantage is not as obvious as the original time and space. However, in the end, he was elected the most improved player in the NBA in the 14-15 season with 27.18% of the vote, beating Drummond of the Warriors. Green is only 1%.

But Butler has a lot of ambitions, and he doesn't think there's anything worth thrilling about this kind of award.

He positions himself as a star player in the future.

In fact, if Tang Qian were to be selected, he would definitely let Heat player Hassan, who ranked fourth in the vote rate. Whiteside was elected, after all, compared to the last time he played in the NBA, his statistics have increased by more than 3~4 times? This was not given to him, and Tang Qian was a little puzzled. The NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in the 14-15 season went to the Lakers' Nicks. Young, who won the award with an average of 16.6 points per game, which is also the first time that Nick Young has won a personal honor since joining the NBA, compared to Butler's heart, he is quite excited and excited. After he got this trophy, he sent more than a dozen selfies to everyone in the team.

However, he also won very dangerously, because the next three people are all strong, such as Luis in second place. Williams, he averaged 15.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Isaiah the third. Thomas is even more so, he is also Tang Qian's original thought that Nick Young's biggest competitor, averaging 16.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, this data is really better than Nick Young, but I don't know why he has not been favored by voting reporters whether it is this time or space.

The Lakers actually have both the most improved player and the sixth man of the season, and all of a sudden Tang Qian's "good luck" and "lack of success in leading the team" views are very popular. Many Tang Hei began to say that if there were no such people, Tang Qian would not be able to lead the team to play this kind of record, and he would just be a "data brush".

Well, this is a very conventional black method, and basically all people have been hacked like this.

When it comes to leading the team, it will depend on how strong his teammates are, and he is actually not that powerful.

But it's nothing, when you win the championship, when you win the championship, the sound will be small, especially once you create a dynasty, then basically your dominance is determined. Because there are not many teams in the history of the NBA that can open up a real "triple dynasty". To be able to do this level, the team boss is a great contribution. No matter how dark this is, it doesn't make sense.

People 3 even smashed FMVP at you, so that you can't let out a fart.

The honor of belonging to the real league star will only appear in the future, and what appears now is just an appetizer.

The playoffs are going on, and there are some games that are beginning to break up, such as the game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, the core bosses of the Celtics this season have been traded, and the whole team is pushed to the rhythm of restarting, and it is only possible to enter the playoffs in the East. Any rebuilding team in the West is unlikely to make the playoffs. So this kind of team is for James and the Cavaliers to abuse vegetables, and there is no possibility of suspense.

The Cavaliers won the third game of the series 103-95 on the Celtics' home court, and James slashed 31 points, 11 dilemmas, 7 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. In the east, he is really invincible.

Known as "Zhan Badong", there is nothing wrong.

In the east, there is no one to make trouble for him.

Especially this year, they have a high probability of reaching the finals, and a first-round sweep is almost certain.

In addition to their Wizards also won the third game with the Raptors, I really don't know how the Raptors played, and in the playoffs, it seems that the strength has declined, and many people will not play. This kind of game with stars and low attention, the upper echelons of the league don't bother to pay attention to it, and they have no interest in interfering. The Hawks and Bulls both lost one game to their opponents and are currently 2-1.

In the West, the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies were tied, and the Clippers also beat the Spurs one more game, making the big match 2-1, the Spurs seem to be very different from last year this year, and I don't know if it is the failure of the 2 consecutive championships, which has made their lineup and combination polished, in short, it seems that their situation is not very optimistic. It's hard to say whether we can break through the first round this year. The Clippers have been running in for so many seasons, Paul has been impatient for a long time, he is determined to reach the Western Conference finals or higher this season, and in terms of desire to win, he is unmatched among the two teams.

The game between the Warriors and the Mavericks hasn't started yet, but it looks like it's about the same, and the two games the Mavericks lost were all beaten, and there was no hope at all overall. Therefore, outside experts and commentators feel that the Warriors are sure to break through. The probability of a sweep is not small.

Tang Qian knows better than anyone that this Warriors team should definitely not be underestimated, they are the champions of the season championship in the 14-15 season. That alone is enough for him to rank the Golden State Warriors among the toughest opponents this season.

On April 24, 2015, the Lakers went to the Toyota Center in Houston to start Game 3 of the series.

It's all turned Rocket Red for a long time, and fans in attendance are hoping that their home team can beat their opponents at home and keep the series back in suspense. After all, if you are down 0-3 in the series, then it is basically the end of it. Only last year's Lakers team had a four-game winning streak in history, and that difficulty, even now, seems to be non-human. When Kobe Bryant himself appeared on the show after retiring, he also said: Let him do it again, he is not sure about that round of the series.

It was a miracle that could only happen once in a lifetime.

It was also a series that cemented the Lakers as a whole that they could beat anyone this season.

Therefore, the situation of the Lakers that year was not at all thought about by the Rockets, they all knew that if they lost this game, it would be equivalent to the end of the series early. Four sets in a row? It's impossible to dream.

Based on this situation, the Rockets tonight is actually a back-to-back battle.

If you can't win, you're going to end the season and go fishing on vacation.

But what's the Lakers about? So what's the matter with Tang Qian?

For this round of the series, No. 29 has only one thought, and he has already said it, which is to sweep.

Only a sweep.

PS: Take a day off as usual, and tomorrow 10,000 words will explode~ Xiaozi will also work hard this month, let's fight together~~

Wow, yes~~~~~~~~ is the finals really going to be swept away? Emperor Zhan is hard to support alone~
