No one expected that Popovich's bold change of formation actually achieved unexpected results, although the Rockets were also cutting points, but the Spurs' firepower did not decrease at all, and they were not afraid of the Rockets at all.

Popovich also smiled, his small lineup has begun to bear fruit, and it will definitely play an unexpected role in the playoffs.

The excellent performance of the small lineup gave the Spurs veterans plenty of rest, and the fitness problems did not break out in this game.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Spurs still maintained an eight-point lead, as if they had played this place as their home court.

In the face of the boos of the Rockets fans, the faces of the Spurs players did not fluctuate in the slightest, making people wonder if these people have normal joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

Ginobili sat on the bench, and he was really a little unaccustomed to touching his head in a daze, and he kept touching the top of his bare head.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Spurs still maintained strong offensive firepower, and in the last minute of the comparison, the Rockets still failed to extend the score, so they had no choice but to choose foul tactics.

It's just that the Spurs felt unusually hot today, and the Rockets fouled, and they missed a total of one free throw.

As the whistle blew, in the end, the Rockets lost this heavyweight game 95-102.

Although Harden scored 25 points, Cheng Lei scored 18 points, and Paul also scored 22 points, it still can't change the result of the failure, which is enough to prove that the current Spurs team is still strong and is still the favorite to win the championship.

After the game, the media was not optimistic about the Rockets' championship situation this year, as at the beginning of the season, the competition in the Western Conference playoffs is too fierce, and the Rockets have little chance of advancing whether they meet the Warriors or the current Spurs.

De Shuai still firmly believes that now this team has almost reached the realm of perfection, and this game with the Spurs does not mean anything, it can only be said that the Spurs have played extremely long, with a shooting rate of more than 60% in the whole game, and any team will lose.

Of course, Deshuai's remarks were also spread by the grapevine media, and everyone once again pointed the finger at the Rockets.

Can the Spurs maintain such a high shooting percentage, isn't it the Rockets' bad defense on the court? How could this not be possible?

For such a statement, De Shuai just smiled and didn't say anything.

The loss of one game did not affect the mood of the Rockets players, and the current third position in the West is still very stable for the time being.

Cheng Lei took a hot bath, slept comfortably, got up for breakfast, and set off for the University of Houston.

This morning, Zhuo Jiayue and the three of them finished their exams, and Cheng Lei drove to pick up the three of them back.

After waiting for a while, I saw the three of them walking out together from a distance.

Wu Chunlei and Bingying were there, and Zhuo Jiayue was alone, holding her own book and walking behind them.

Cheng Lei immediately trotted over.

"I'll help you get something!" As he spoke, he directly hugged the book in Zhuo Jiayue's hand.

"Cheng Lei, you guy, didn't you say don't come to pick us up, we can go back by ourselves!" Wu Chunlei's hearty laughter rang out.

"I didn't say I was going to pick you up, I was mainly here to pick up Jiayue!" Cheng Lei rolled his eyes at Wu Chunlei and said.

"I know that you are the kind of person who has a wife and plays with a brother!" Wu Chunlei quipped.

"You two, naïve or not!" Bingying opened her mouth to speak, and then pulled Wu Chunlei to the side, leaving the space to Cheng Lei and Zhuo Jiayue alone.

"Jiayue, you've lost weight!" Cheng Lei put his arm around Zhuo Jiayue and said softly.

"Why, haven't I always been like this!"

"Look, it's all small here!" Cheng Lei's hand was covertly covered on Zhuo Jiayue's chest.

Zhuo Jiayue blushed, "It won't really get smaller, will it?" ”

Girls are still quite concerned about this aspect.

"Okay, I lied to you!"

"Nasty!"

The two of them enjoyed the rare time between the two of them in recent times, completely ignoring the crowd of people who kept walking by on the side.

"Let him go, you rascal!" At this time, an extremely discordant voice sounded behind the two.

Cheng Lei and Zhuo Jiayue stopped hugging each other intimately.

"Who told you to hold my goddess in your arms!"

When I turned around, I saw a blonde man, staring at Cheng Lei wearing a mask with an angry face.

"Charles, I told you a long time ago, stop pestering me, this is my boyfriend!" Zhuo Jiayue immediately said loudly.

"Boy, how dare you pester my girlfriend?" Although Cheng Lei was wearing a mask, his tone was obviously stern.

"Forget it, let's go, don't bother with this kind of person!" Zhuo Jiayue didn't want to entangle with this Charles, so she pulled Cheng Lei and prepared to leave.

"Stop! It's a man, do you dare to accept my challenge, the one who loses, consciously leave Zhuojiayue! Charles yelled.

Before Cheng Lei could speak, Wu Chunlei's voice sounded first, "Are you stupid, people are boyfriend and girlfriend, what's your business!" ”

Seeing that something seemed to have happened on Cheng Lei's side, Wu Chunlei came over as soon as possible.

"Wu Chunlei, this is my business with him, it's none of your business!" Charles completely ignored Wu Chunlei and stared at Cheng Lei and said.

Wu Chunlei's temper came up all of a sudden, and he was about to come up and him, but Cheng Lei stretched out his hand to stop him.

Cheng Lei feels that this person is quite interesting, this is the so-called tendon, this kind of person, if he does not govern him thoroughly, he is afraid that he will always be entangled with Zhuo Jiayue in the future, but it will be more troublesome.

"Say it, what do you want to compare!"

"Than basketball, dare not!" Charles spoke out loud.

When Wu Chunlei heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva, this guy, I'm afraid he's here to be funny, if he knew that it was Cheng Lei of Team Rocket in front of him, it is estimated that this guy's face must be green.

It's not good to choose anything, you have to choose basketball, aren't you looking for abuse!

"Yes, I'll do it!" Cheng Lei spread his hands and said in a relaxed tone.

"Boy, you have to talk about it, if you lose, you will consciously leave Zhuo Jiayue!" Charles saw Cheng Lei agree, and his tone was much tougher.

Cheng Lei shrugged his shoulders, "Do you think I'm going to lose?" ”

"Cut!" Charles is very disdainful, he is the main player of the University of Houston, the amateur basketball team, and it is not easy to beat these ordinary people.

Wu Chunlei was on the side, and when he heard what Charles said, he just wanted to laugh, and he kept holding back, and his face was red.

Or the two girls are more calm, their expressions have not changed from beginning to end, looking at Charles's expression, it's like looking at an idiot.

Charles was still complacent, thinking that the two girls were attracted by his powerful aura.
