After playing the 76ers, the Rockets are back at home.

In his spare time, Qiao Hai received a call from San Francisco.

The team of Rolf Pagano and Mark Zuckerberg has been formed, and the framework for the website is quickly in place.

Qiao Hai used his computer, received the documents, and checked the first version of the website sent by Mark Zuckerberg.

I have to say that one thing that must be admitted is that Mark Zuckerberg is still a little capable, and the first version of Facebook is enough to satisfy Qiao Hai.

But Qiao Hai still put forward a few points that needed to be improved, and then hit back for Mark Zuckerberg to revise it.

At the same time, Qiao Hai also determined the specific launch time of the website with Rolf Pagano.

"So, on January 2, 2004, the website has to go live, and before that, you have to come up with a promotion plan, and I will ask the seawater investment side to contact Google to assist in the promotion."

On January 2nd, the website must be launched, which is Qiao Hai's request, if the website cannot be launched before then, it will not be possible to seize the opportunity.

As for promotion, the plan must be there, Google's promotion is also very important, with Google's help, Qiao Hai's Facebook will seize all the markets at the fastest speed.

……

After the Rockets returned to their home court, they faced the Warriors first, and in the last 35.6 seconds of the game, on the Bucks' side, Jason Richardson hit a mid-range shot to tie the score at 83:83.

Then, the Rockets consumed time, and Wade missed the shot at the last second.

On the other side, the Warriors' stunner time, the ball was given to Eric Dampier on the inside, but Dampier's close-range layup was directly interfered with by Yao Ming and did not score.

And just like that, there were only 2.3 seconds left in the race.

Qiao Hai called a timeout, and then after a timeout, the Rockets passed the ball directly to the frontcourt.

In the last 2.3 seconds of passing, Gary Payton on the outside directly gave Yao Ming, Yao Ming received the ball, and sniped at the middle distance!

There was a buzz, and the red light came on.

And then, boom!

In the frantic cheers of the Toyota Center, Yao Ming hit the lore! Kill the game!

At 85:83, the Rockets won the game and won four in a row!

In this game, the Rocket won a very thrilling game, tied at the last moment, and then hit the iron one after another, that is, Yao Ming's mid- and long-distance shooting was too buggy and could not be prevented at all, otherwise the outcome of this game would be difficult to say for a long time.

Before this game, Qiao Hai also began to think about why the Rockets' offense was still so tepid after playing the regular season for more than half a month?

……

Despite their tepid offense, the Rockets' defense is very strong, and relying on defense, the Rockets continue to maintain their strong team record.

After playing the Warriors, the Rockets defeated the Trail Blazers 98-85 and the Clippers 105-90 in a row, and the winning streak quickly expanded to 6 games.

It's also the Rockets' biggest winning streak this season.

In the previous winning streak, the Rockets also won six in a row, and then lost to the Mavericks.

And this time, the Rockets' next opponent is the Jazz.

……

According to the predictions of ESPN and other major media, the Jazz should stay away from the playoffs this season and be deep in the lottery zone, due to Karl Malone leaving Los Angeles and John Stockton retiring.

With the departure of the twin evils, this jazz seems to be hopeless.

But no one expected that Jerry Sloan would actually get Carlos Boozer through a big deal.

Carlos Boozer, who has averaged 17.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game so far this season, is obviously the Jazz's biggest discovery, and he has almost replaced Karl Malone's position.

The only remaining gap between him and Karl Malone is that he has suffered a tough battle, and Carlos Boozer's scoring has not been so consistent.

In addition to Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko's outburst was also unexpected by many commentators and experts.

Andrey Kirilenko, who averaged 12 points, 5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks per game in the first two seasons, contributed a lot on the defensive end, but the offensive end didn't look impressive.

But this season, Kirilenko's offense has also begun to explode.

So far this season, Andrei Kirilienko has averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game, with more than 2 steals and blocks.

With the addition of Matt Harplin, this Jazz team is still not short of scoring points.

But due to the influence of Qiao Hai, Greg Ostertag, De Shaun Stevenson and Carlos Arroyo, who were originally going to start with the Jazz this season, all went to the Rockets and sat on the bench.

The trio were replaced by third-year student Jeron Collins, former disciple Ragabel of Johi and rookie Williams Mo.

Especially Mo Williams, as a rookie who was selected in the second round of the draft, Mo Jr. actually started in his rookie season, and the starting point was even much higher than some lottery rookies.

From this point of view, Qiao Hai still influenced many people.

In this game, the Rockets' offense is still not open, and the Jazz who defend is miserable.

Carlos Boozer, who had caused a storm before, was directly defended by Chris Anderson in this game, shooting 4 of 11 and only getting 10 points and 8 rebounds.

After killing the opponent's core players, the Rockets naturally won the game with great ease.

But Qiao Hai couldn't be happy, because in the end, the score of this game was only 96:83, and although the Rockets won by 13 points, the offense was still tepid.

Qiao Hai thought about it for a long time and found several possible reasons.

"Gary Payton has played defensive basketball for many years, since the time of George Carr, and he's used to taking the ball and pressing for a few seconds after that, which caused us to be too slow, and that's probably a reason."

"Another reason is that the starters lack stable shooters, except for Yao Ming, a pseudo-shooter, although several other outside lines have medium and long range shots, but the medium and long range shots are not outstanding, unable to contain the defense and open up space, which may be another reason."

"In the end, the tactical reasons are complicated, and it may require more training and major changes."

……

In the last two games of November, the Rockets first played the Kings, and in this game, Qiao Hai forcibly changed Gary Payton's way of playing, forcing the team to speed up.

As a result, the Rockets went crazy and fell behind by 21 points in just half a game.

In the end, the Rockets also lost 88-103, ending the winning streak again.

In this game, the Rockets forcibly increased the tempo, and the loss couldn't be more miserable, maybe Gary Payton did have a problem, but at least, this change of trick didn't work for the time being.

Qiao Hai fell into deep thought.

In the last game in November, the Rockets faced off against the SuperSonics, and in this game, Qiao Hai changed the starting lineup of the Rockets, Keller Korver was promoted to the starting lineup, and Wade became a substitute.

There is suddenly a super shooter in the starter, and the Rockets' outside line has more room to break through.

In this battle, the Rockets finally played some offense and finally won 108-99.

Qiao Hai seems to have seen some hope through this battle.
