Chapter 308 309, the inside line is a double hero
A three-point shot completely extinguished the horn of the Trail Blazers' counterattack, although the Trail Blazers were using foul tactics later, but the Rockets always withstood it, and with the final whistle, the Rockets were relieved.
Finally won the Trail Blazers, since December, this game is much more difficult than the previous two games, and sure enough, December is a cruel month for the Rockets.
In the box of the Leskell Hotel, seeing that the Rockets had won the game, he angrily smashed the remote control board to the side.
Now, the most annoying thing is the Rocket Team, and the most annoying thing is the Rocket Team, he can't wait for the Rocket Team to lose every game, he just doesn't want to see Cheng Lei win the game, it makes him unhappy.
It's a pity that the Rockets are really tough this year, and until now, they have never been out of the top four in the West.
After venting, Johnson picked up his phone and made a call to Henry.
"How's the preparation going?"
"You can take action at any time, I've already laid it out on my side!" The other end of the line said, "But when will the things that were promised to me start?" ”
"Don't worry, as long as you can control people, the position of the number one is yours!"
After hanging up the phone, Johnson looked cunning, "Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei, if you don't cooperate with me, then you can only destroy you with your own hands!" ”
......
After the game, the Rockets returned to Houston as soon as possible, and the next game was finally back at home.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Cheng Lei's phone rang, "Master, I'm going to come to Houston to play in the next two days!" ”
On the other end of the phone, it was Cheng Lei's apprentice, Morgan.
"Why did you suddenly want to come here to play?"
"Didn't the master say that I should slowly shift my focus to this side, the things on my side have begun to slowly get rid of them, take advantage of the time now, play around first, and next month, I can move to Houston!" Morgan looked pleased.
"That's good, then, when you get here, I'll let Hicks pick you up!"
"Okay, I'll just contact him myself then!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Lei was also relatively happy, and when he waited until next month, he would start slowly transporting things to the manor, and it just so happened that all the security work of the manor could be handed over to Morgan.
Two days passed in a flash, and the Rockets' home court attracted the league's strongest interior combination, Anthony Davis, Cousins, Rondo and Holiday joined, making the team even stronger.
As the team's brain-type player, Rondo's arrival may completely liberate the Pelicans' interior line and make qualitative changes for the two.
"What to do? I feel like I'm going to be miserable today! "Before the game even started, Capela was already looking agitated.
Whether it is Davis or Cousins, neither of the two can cope with Capela, and now, when the two appear together, Capela is even more unable to deal with it.
These two are not the same as traditional centers, both of them have a good outside shooting ability, close to the basket, as far as the three-point line, both within the range of the two's firepower.
"It's not just you, I think I'm going to be miserable too!" Anderson is also not very confident about this game.
After all, it is Davis who wants to be opposed, the supergiant of the new generation of the league.
"You two are too cowardly, this game hasn't started yet!" Cheng Lei teased the two.
"Ahem... Cough.... Everyone, be quiet! Coach D'Antoni walked in, listened to the chaotic discussion among his teammates, and interrupted: "The Pelicans are indeed more restrained by our small lineup, although they can shoot three-pointers, but their three-point shooting is not as accurate as ours, and their pace is much slower than ours!" ”
"Their long-range shooting ability is unstable, and in other words, their point guards have almost no long-range shooting ability!"
"Actually, we don't have to worry about their offense, I'm most concerned about their defense! On paper, their defensive ability will be strong! De Shuai emphasized.
"Harden, you play against Bombset, the first task is to score," De Shuai paused for a moment and looked at Cheng Lei, "Ray, your task is to limit Holiday !" ”
"No problem, I'll defend him with all my might!" Cheng Lei said.
As long as Holiday can be contained, then the Pelicans' outside firepower will be paralyzed by more than half.
Cheng Lei is the main defense, Harden is the main offense, this move, De Shuai tasted the sweetness, and he tried it all the time.
It's just that for Cheng Lei, entering December, his data has dropped sharply, after all, there are many things that cannot be counted in defense.
Fortunately, Cheng Lei himself doesn't pay much attention to data, as long as he can win the game, sacrificing some data is not a big deal.
After De Shuai finished speaking, Paul began to add: "Cousins is not very mentally mature, we can try to provoke him, as long as he is hot-headed, it is much less threatening!" ”
"How?" Capet stretched his ears and listened, after all, Cousins was in opposition to himself.
"Capela, you dunk in front of him, it's better to dunk at the same time, and make him a few fouls!" Paul said lightly.
When Capela heard this, his face became bitter melon-shaped, this kind of interior strength, it is more difficult to dunk, and it is too difficult to make him foul while dunking, it is almost impossible.
"Don't be nervous, we will create opportunities for you, and we won't let you force him!" Paul knew exactly what Capela was trying to say, added.
"Wait for the three of us outside, if you have a chance, you will rush inside, and when you have a chance, you will pass the ball to you!"
Cousins' personality problem is like a time bomb that will detonate at any time, and as long as he is detonated, then the Pelicans and possibly will fall into an uncontrollable situation.
While the Rockets were studying tactics, the Pelicans didn't seem to have a coach on their side, and Rondo was holding a tactical board and talking constantly.
Cousins sat obediently on the Rondo, listening to Rondo's rambling without complaint.
"Remember, we have a huge advantage on the inside against the Rockets, and if we want to win the Rockets, just play around the inside!"
"Coach, is there anything else you would like to add?" After saying that, Rondo looked at the coach and asked.
The coach coughed awkwardly, since Rondo came here, he felt that he was about to lose his job, but, there was no way, Cousins, this thing, listened to Rondo very much.
The home court of the Rockets has no shortage of spectators, and this time, of course, is no exception, at a glance, there are almost no empty seats.
"Okay, let's play!" With the order of the German coach, the players began to walk towards the player tunnel in an orderly manner.
