Sure enough, in overtime, the Rockets had no resistance at all, Maddie scored 9 points alone, and Yao Ming and Ron Artest on the Rocket's side scored two points each, for a total of 4 points.

In the end, the Rockets lost 109-114......

"After 48 minutes, the Rockets dragged the game into overtime, but in the end, they still lost the game...... "McBrin felt that it was a pity, the Rockets had played well enough in this game.

But helplessly, the Grizzlies relied on the individual ability of the superstar and finally defeated the tenacious Rockets.

"For Qiao Hai, his buff to his old club team was ultimately invalid, but this can only prove that the Grizzlies are very strong, and Qiao Hai can't make up for the gap between the Rockets and the Grizzlies."

Marv Albert answered, and then, Cherry Miller said: "Throughout the court, Qiao Hai's on-the-spot arrangement and adjustment suppressed Hubi Brown, but Tracy McGrady and Chauncy Billups really couldn't be prevented, this game, it can be said that the Rockets lost, but it can't be said that Qiao Hai lost." ”

"That's right, if it weren't for Qiao Hai's full-court suppression of Hubi Brown, the Rockets would have lost even more in this game."

“……”

Impartial, neutral, reasonable and objective commentators all believe that although the Rockets lost, Qiao Hai did not lose, and the Rockets were able to play like this with the Grizzlies with a weaker strength in this game, and Qiao Hai's command was obviously to crush the old coach Hubi Brown.

But not all media and commentators will be as impartial and objective as this, and ESPN and Sports Illustrated have made a big splash after the game.

"Qiao Hai lost, is it the right change of coach for the Grizzlies?"

"In the battle against the predecessor, Hubbie Brown wins! He's proven he's better than Joe! ”

"Unable to resist in overtime, the problem with this rocket is already obvious?"

“……”

……

……

For this loss, Qiao Hai also felt a pity, but there was no way, the difference in strength was here, at the critical moment, no one in the Rockets could score, but Maddie on the Grizzlies' side was able to stand up and score continuously.

That's the difference between the two teams.

Perhaps, when Yao Ming grows up again, Qiao Hai can also rely on Yao Ming at a critical moment to continue his life for a scorching game.

But Qiao Hai still believes that the Rockets need another superstar on the outside.

At this time, Qiao Hai had to turn his attention to the 2003 draft again, which was the best shortcut to get another superstar, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony, both strong outside superstars.

……

After beating the grizzly bear, Qiao Hai's old main buff seems to be ineffective.

On February 14, Valentine's Day, the Rockets played the Heat at home.

Before the game, Qiao Hai made a phone call to Han Xue, in fact, even he didn't know why he called Han Xue on Valentine's Day.

The two of them didn't know what they said on the phone, they talked a lot, and in the end, Han Xue hung up the phone first.

Against the Heat at home, the Rockets' performance was still not good, and the veteran Caron Butler sent by the Rockets that year performed well, scoring 24 points and directly leading the team to defeat the Rockets 94-82.

With two consecutive defeats, the record became 29-22, and the Rockets were overtaken by the Jazz in the West.

But the gap between them and the Suns has widened, so the Rockets are not worried about the danger of falling out of the playoffs for the time being.

But now, what they need to worry about is a possible 3-game losing streak!

……

After playing the Heat, the Rockets rested for three days, and then continued to face the Lakers at home.

Before this game, all the media were hyping Qiao Hai's buff against the old master, and the battle against the Grizzly Bear seemed to prove that Qiao Hai's old master buff was invalid.

And this game is naturally a chance for Qiao Hai to prove that this old main buff still exists.

But in the first quarter of the game, the Rockets were blown up by Kobe Bryant alone, and Kobe Bryant scored 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the first quarter, looking completely unable to defend.

As a result, the Rockets trailed by eight points in the first quarter at 16:24.

In the second quarter of the game, Qiao Hai made adjustments, using Ron Artest to defend Kobe Bryant, and adding a variety of pinch tactics, Kobe Bryant made 2 of 6 shots.

Qiao Hai's on-the-spot adjustment once again achieved the suppression of the opponent, and in this suppression, the Rockets overtook the Lakers by 1 point at 42:41 at halftime.

It looks like Qiao Hai's old main buff is going to work again.

But in the second half, Bryant broke out again, and he seemed to enter zone mode, hitting consecutive mid-range turnover jumpers in the third quarter.

The Rockets are all kinds of bags, and Ron Artest's defensive moves are getting bigger and bigger, but they still can't stop Kobe Bryant in an explosive state.

In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant shot 4 of 7 and scored 8 more points, the Lakers won by 9 points in a single quarter, and after three quarters, the score was 64:56, and the Rockets trailed by 8 points.

In the crucial fourth quarter, Qiao Hai was replaced by Carlos Boozer again, and the offense was played inside, and this hand adjustment meant that Qiao Hai was going to work hard.

Carlos Boozer played a good game, scoring consecutive low-post singles on the court, and after scoring six points in a row, the Rockets chased the difference to four points.

Then, Yao Ming and Steve Francis also began to explode, and the score gradually approached.

In the end, with 1 minute and 32 seconds left in the game, the difference was only 2 points.

McBrin on the commentary bench shouted excitedly: "There are 2 points left in the difference, and it is another game with a scorching score!" ”

In the last 1 minute and 32 seconds, Kobe Bryant hit the iron with three points, but Derrick Fisher grabbed the offensive rebound and passed Kobe Bryant again, Kobe Bryant rushed a step, shot again, and hit the iron again!

Rick Fox grabbed the rebound again and gave it to Kobe Bryant, and this time, Kobe controlled it and passed.

But the pass was wrong, Steve Francis pounced, and the flying steal was successful!

The Rockets fought back, and the frontcourt was defended by the Lakers' retreat.

After a while, the ball was given to Ron Artest on the wing, and Artai shot three points, wanting to kill the opponent!

But bang, didn't go in!

At the critical moment, it was Yao Ming who stood up again, grabbed the offensive rebound, and directly made up the basket.

Shaquille O'Neal went straight back and was fouled.

In this way, Yao Ming stood on the free throw line, hit both free throws, and the two teams were tied.

In the last 8.3 seconds, the Lakers' killer ball, Kobe Bryant rushed to the front court with the ball and shot directly, but the three-point shot was iron!

The game went into extra time again.

Qiao Hai shook his head helplessly, and after overtime, Qiao Hai was still not confident.

In overtime, the two teams played iron in the opening period, and the Rockets scored the first goal, and James Posey received an assist from Steve Francis and hit a three-pointer.

But in the next wave of offense, Kobe Bryant broke through the inside line, causing Yao Ming's foul and standing on the free throw line and hitting both free throws.

Then, Yao Ming hit hard inside, and also made a foul, making it 2+1.

In overtime, the Rockets' lead once reached 4 points, but the Lakers still relied on Kobe's explosion to score consecutive points.

In the last 19.7 seconds, Bryant hit a key 2-pointer.

Then, Steve Francis' two-point hit, this time it was the Rockets' turn to shoot and fail.

The game went into the second overtime.

In the second overtime, the Rockets completely lost their state, and on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant scored 8 points in a row with 2 of 3 shots and free throws, and in the end, the Lakers defeated the Rockets 106-99 and gave the Rockets three consecutive defeats!

This time, Qiao Hai's old main buff does seem to be completely ineffective......
