For the Rockets, the biggest pressure on back-to-back comes from their own physical recovery, the overall strength of the Kings team has definitely declined since the blood change, but the physical advantage of young players will be infinitely magnified.

As soon as the training session before the game ended, Cheng Lei received a phone call that he hadn't had much contact with during this time.

Wu Chunlei, this kid, hasn't been in contact with him much since he entered September, and he doesn't know what this guy has been busy with recently.

"Cheng Lei, guess where I am?" The phone was connected, and before Cheng Lei could speak, Wu Chunlei's voice rang out.

"You're not in class now, where are you going?" Cheng Lei said with a smile.

"Take a class, I don't have a class today!"

Is it a Saturday or Sunday? Doesn't it see? This guy is actually skipping school? You're bold.

"Yes, they're starting to learn to skip school!" Cheng Lei teased.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Chunlei showed a contemptuous expression, and said secretly, is my brother the kind of person who skips class.

"You'd never guess where I am right now!" Wu Chunlei said with a laugh.

"I know I can't guess, and let me guess, aren't you embarrassing me!"

"Hehe, even if you want to break your head, you can't think of it, tell you, I'm outside your training gym!"

Outside the training gym? Cheng Lei hurriedly walked out of the lounge and looked towards the door of the stadium, how could there be Wu Chunlei's figure, only then did he react, the stadium this guy was talking about was not the current stadium.

"I was almost deceived by you, let's say, where the hell are you?"

"Haha, I'm at the Toyota Center Arena!" Wu Chunlei said loudly.

Wait, why is this name so familiar? Toyota Arena, for a while, Cheng Lei's mind didn't turn, he thought hard for a while, and reacted, this Nima, isn't this the home arena of his Rockets.

"I'm rubbing, you kid went abroad?" Cheng Lei said in surprise.

"That's necessary, I've been getting things all this time, so I've been delaying it until now!" Wu Chunlei said excitedly.

This is the first time, he lives alone abroad, and now he is so excited, he just rented an apartment, and everything was done, so he immediately hung up the phone to Cheng Lei.

"Really?" Cheng Lei looked incredulous.

"It's a must, when my parents heard that I wanted to go abroad for further study, they couldn't be happy, so they immediately found a relationship and sent me here! Let me study finance well. Wu Chunlei said.

"Yes, you kid, which school did you go to?" Cheng Lei asked.

"It has to be in Houston, I'm at the University of Houston, surprise no!"

"Day, you kid scared me, my heart can't stand it!" Cheng Lei heard that his friend was also coming to Houston, and his happy expression was all on his face.

"Ray, it's time to start the game, so happy! Let's go in together. At this time, Paul happened to be passing by the side of Cheng Lei and said.

"I'll look for you when I'll be in Houston, I'm in Sacramento now, ready to play!"

"When you're done playing, I'll give you good news that will definitely drive you crazy!" After speaking, Wu Chunlei hung up the phone.

Did this guy surprise himself when he came? Cheng Lei is still looking forward to it now, this guy, what kind of surprise will he give himself.

The Kings' new home arena, Golden One Arena, has a capacity of 17,608 people, and because it is a new stadium, the entire stadium looks unusually high-grade.

Cheng Lei's performance in the first game has attracted a lot of attention, this game, the attendance rate was not high, and the tickets were basically sold out at once today.

Everyone wants to witness whether this newcomer can become a strong dark horse like Lin Crazy back then.

Of course, in the first game with the Warriors, there were not many fans, and after coming to the King's home court, the Rockets fans suddenly increased a lot, and many Chinese fans came for Cheng Lei and Zhou Qi.

The two pairs of players are still changing clothes in the lounge, the fans have entered the stadium one after another, and many people in the stands have pulled up red banners, if you can understand Chinese, you will find that it is written the fame of Cheng Lei and Zhou Qi.

After Zhou Qi came to the Rocket team, he actually didn't have many opportunities to play, but now, the arrival of Cheng Lei has also benefited him, and his fame has risen again.

"Randolph, what are our chances of winning this game?" Carter asked as he passed his boots to Randolph on the side.

"In yesterday's game, Harden was injured, no accident, he shouldn't play today, we also have an advantage in terms of physical strength, as for that rookie, you can't expect a rookie, every time you play like yesterday!" Randolph said that the analysis is indeed in place, and in his opinion, the Kings still have a good winning rate.

In the Rockets' lounge, D'Antoni was laying out the final tactics, and the starting five had no suspense, and Gordon replaced the injured Harden on the starting list.

"Ray, I heard you fought with the King's Daron Fox?" After arranging the tactics, D'Antoni looked at Cheng Lei and asked.

Cheng Lei nodded: "Well, I fought him in the NCAA!" Cheng Lei said.

"Is there a problem with letting you defend him?" D'Antoni continued.

Of course, everyone understands what the coach's words mean, Cheng Lei will get a good chance to play, the opponent's Da Long is the rookie mainly cultivated by the Kings, although he is not a starter, he will definitely get good playing time, as long as he plays, then, on the Rockets' side, Cheng Lei will be sent to play.

This made the people at the end of the original bench look at Cheng Lei with envy, and even Cheng Lei himself felt very surprised, the coach seemed to be very interested in him.

"I'll do my best to defend against him!" Cheng Lei said seriously.

"The Kings, there are a lot of young players, everyone try to avoid injuries! Paul, try to keep the rhythm down and fight them! D'Antoni concluded.

"Do you still have questions?"

"Nope!"

"Okay, let's go!"

After saying that, everyone stood up, walked out of the lounge in an orderly manner, and walked towards the court.

"Coach, you seem to value Lei very much!" Harden, who was wearing a suit, walked at the back with his coach and asked.

"He's doing well, isn't he?" D'Antoni said with a smile.

"His performance in the first game really scared me, this kid's temper is very appetizing to me!" Harden said with a big grin, thinking back to Cheng Lei's statement that he wanted to introduce the big-butted girl to himself.

With the two pairs of full-fledged players, the flashes clicked non-stop, and many fans at the scene were wearing the red jerseys of the Rockets, and even the No. 30 jersey that Cheng Lei had just released was worn by many people.

The on-site commentators have already begun to introduce the two pairs of starters, with the Kings' starting five: George Hill, Buddy Hield, Garette Temple, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Costa Koufus, just as guessed before the game.

The Rockets started five Tigers: Paul, Gordon, Ariza, Anderson, Capela.

Judging from the cards of the technique alone, the strength of the Rockets occupies a certain advantage, but the score, not the comparison of the cards, everything is possible.

At home, no one wants to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat, so the Kings players are bound to make a lot of effort in this game and fight the Rockets to the end.
