Wade had his best performance since the start of the season, finishing with 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists on 10-of-17 shooting.

In the locker room, almost everyone patted Wade on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, including Yao Ming.

Gary Payton even said to Wade: "You played a great game, Dwayne, without you, we would have lost this game." ”

There was nothing wrong with what Gary Payton said, judging from the post-game statistics, the Rockets won by 21 points, but if it were not for Wade's key waves of ball-handling offense in the third quarter, it helped the team open up the situation.

It's hard to say what the development and outcome of this game will be.

In the face of the praise of his predecessor Gary Payton, Wade accepted it with a smile, Americans have no habit of modesty, they always feel that what they do, they deserve it.

……

For ESPN, Mark Stein commented on Dwyane Wade's individual performance in this game.

"10 of 17 shots, 10 of them, including 4 shots, and 6 baskets, from the first three games can only score under the basket, to this game from the distance of continuous fire, Dwayne Wade has evolved again!"

"He is gradually adapting to this league, and his individual performance is gradually catching up with Cleveland's LeBron James, and his 4-0 team record is far better than LeBron James!"

……

……

On Nov. 8, the Rockets returned to their home court and faced the Magic.

Last season, the Magic were at the bottom of the league, and so far this season, the Magic have a record of 1 win and 5 losses, continuing to be at the bottom.

Grant Hill has completely turned into a glass man, and since the new season, he has continued to miss the game due to injury, and the star of the Magic team has become Juwan Howard, who joined free at the beginning of the season.

But Zhu Wan Howard, whose performance is always tepid, is still qualified to be a second-in-command or a third-in-command, and if he wants to support the overall situation alone, it is naturally impossible.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Magic's record is sparse.

The only good news for the Magic is that this season's draft pick is finally entirely theirs, and the Magic can imagine next year's draft to draft a cornerstone player to lead the team back on.

In this game, with a score of 96:86, the Magic continued to lose streak, and the Rockets continued to win on a winning streak.

Before you know it, the second week of the new season, which is also the first full week, is over, and the Rockets have won five consecutive games and jumped to first place in the West.

During the week, the Rockets won back-to-back games against the Bulls, Nets and Magic, and the team's three top performers — Yao Ming, Gary Payton and Dwayne Wade — all had the best chance to compete for the week.

But it was Carlos Boozer of the Jazz who won the Weekly Awards, who played in four games the following week, averaging 20.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.7 blocks per game.

Boozer fits perfectly into the Jazz's pick-and-roll system, leading the team to a 3-1 record with a very gorgeous statistic the following week.

After Karl Malone's departure, the Jazz were able to play such a record, which is the most surprising part, Boozer was voted the best of the week, largely because he led the team to excellent results, but the statistical advantage was not so great.

……

Boozer took the Weekly Awards, and ESPN's Chadford and Stephen Smith found Joe's black spot.

"So far this season, he has averaged 19.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, just like another Karl Malone, such a player, why should the Rockets trade it?"

"This has to be asked to Qiao Hai, according to Rocket insiders, this deal was made by Qiao Hai."

“……”

ESPN's post-game show, Chadford and Stephen Smith provoked saliva.

Then, the major media in North America immediately followed up and frantically exported Qiao Hai.

……

On November 11, before the Rockets' home game against the Heat, Qiao Hai stood up and responded to the current ferocious public criticism.

"Carlos is very good, his performance with the Jazz says it all, but actually, his excellence is one thing that is clear to all of us, and he got a lot of opportunities with the Rockets in the playoffs last season and played very good numbers."

"But in the summer, we chose to send him away because the Rockets couldn't give him a place at the center, and Jerry Sloan told me that Karl Malone was leaving the Jazz and he wanted to get Carlos as the centerpiece of the Jazz season."

"So, I told Carlos, let's go, let's go, go to Utah to be your core!"

……

In the face of the Heat without Dwyanwade, the Rockets' performance was still stable, relying on the cooperation of Yao Ming and Gary Payton in the opening, and the Rockets scored continuously.

But the Heat's lineup is not bad, they have the duo of Eddie Jones and Lamar Odom, plus the No. 5 rookie T.J. Ford, this Heat team still has a little bit of strength.

In the first quarter of the game, the Rockets and the Heat were tied 16-16.

But in the second quarter, with Gary Payton and Yao Ming on the floor at the same time, the Heat's defensive focus was all on Yao Ming and Gary Payton.

Dwayne Wade broke out as a result, scoring 11 points in a row, and at halftime, the Rockets led the Heat by 7 points.

In the third quarter, the Rockets played a 22-20 quarter, leading their opponents by nine points, so the Heat retained a glimmer of hope of winning.

But in the fourth quarter, the Rockets' defense completely exploded, and the Heat only scored 14 points in a single quarter.

The Heat collapsed directly and played to the end of the game, and the Rockets won the game 90-70, which was also the Rockets' sixth consecutive win this season.

Six wins in a row this season, the Rockets' red is hot.

As of November 11, the only team in the league that still has a winning streak is the Rockets.

Among the strong teams rated by ESPN before the season, the first-ranked Grizzlies are currently 3-4, because Maddie has been injured and the Grizzlies' state is quite unstable.

The second-placed Spurs, with 4 wins and 4 losses, are also not very good.

The third-ranked Lakers are 5-2 and are the best performers among the strong teams except the Rockets.

The fourth-ranked Mavericks are 5-3 and behind the Lakers.

The fifth-ranked team has 4 wins and 3 losses, and also loses more.

On the contrary, the sixth-place Rockets are 6-0 and have not lost a game.

and the Jazz, who were completely ignored in everyone's predictions, started the season with a 5-2 record, and the performance was tied with the Rockets, who have a big three.

The NBA, which has been in the game for more than two weeks, is completely chaotic in terms of records.

But this is also a normal state, at the beginning of the season, the strong teams have not yet entered the state, the weak teams are always able to play chicken blood upset, and the results of each team are not stable.

As a result, the Rockets' six-game winning streak has won little fanfare.

……

Two days later, the Rockets traveled to Dallas to take on the Mavericks on the road.

In this game, the Rockets and the Mavericks played very anxiously, and the first quarter was 18:20, and the Rockets only trailed by 2 points.

Then, in the second quarter, the offense of both teams broke out at the same time, after 26:30.

At halftime, the Rockets trailed by six points.

Then in the third quarter, the Rockets lost by a further four points, and the deficit reached 10 points.

Then in the fourth quarter, the two teams entered a battle of iron, and after a single quarter score of 15:16, the Rockets finally lost 86:97, and the winning streak ended.
