The timer beeped and when the red light came on, the crowd cheered at Compaq Centre.

"The Rockets win again! Qiao Hai led the team to a wave of three consecutive wins, and now, their record is 15-16, and only one victory is missing to bring their winning rate back to 50%! ”

The score at the end of the game was 122-107, with the Rockets winning by 15 points.

Ron Artest had a team-high 26 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Yao Ming chipped in 23 points, 14 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocks in the team, followed by James Posey, who had a team-high 7-of-9 shooting with 21 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Steve Francis was in average form, but he also recorded a triple-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, and Carlos Boozer, who came off the bench, scored 12 points and 6 rebounds and performed well off the bench.

On the Warriors' side, Gilbert Arenas was completely limited, scoring 21 points on 8-of-21 shooting in the game, which was extremely inefficient.

Antoine Jamison had a great first half, but his shooting dropped sharply in the second half, and he finished with 21 points on 9-of-23 shooting.

Instead, Earlboykins came off the bench to score a Warriors-high 22 points on 8-of-9 shooting, and Adonalfoyle and Bob Sula scored in double figures, but no other player scored in double figures.

Eric Dampele, who was opposite Yao Ming, only got a data of 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and was completely crushed by Yao Ming.

At the post-match press conference, Qiao Hai and Ron Artest appeared at the post-match press conference.

This is different from when he was in the Grizzlies, where Qiao Hai would always call the mature and stable Chauncy Billups to participate in the post-game press conference, but the Rockets lacked such players, so Qiao Hai could only select the best players in each game to follow him to the post-game press conference.

At the press conference, Qiao Hai did not answer a few questions, mainly three of them.

One is proposed by the Houston Chronicle, the three-game winning streak of the Rockets has completely surpassed the SuperSonics and is currently in ninth place in the West, while the Suns, who are eighth in the West, have lost one game, so the gap between the two teams has narrowed to two.

The question for the Houston Chronicle is whether the Rockets' winning streak can continue after three straight wins, and whether catching up with the Suns is already a foregone conclusion.

Qiao Hai's answer was: "Our goal is to win every game and make the playoffs, I don't care what team we overtake." ”

The second question has to do with Yao Ming's recent performances.

"Yao Ming has scored in double figures in consecutive games, how high do you think his future achievements will be?"

For Yao Ming, Qiao Hai has always been as high as he can blow, so this time, his answer is: "Yao will become the best player in history, and he is already showing this potential." ”

Qiao Hai's boast of Yao Ming is really believed by many reporters, not only because Qiao Hai has single-handedly cultivated Kobe Bryant and Maddie, the two top stars in the league, but also because of Yao Ming's recent performance.

In the case of almost no individual singles, Yao Ming's average points per game have approached 15 points, and after Qiao Hai took over the Rockets, Yao Ming's personal average points per game have also reached about 20 points.

With such a shooting talent, if you want to say that Yao Ming can't become a top star, most people don't believe it.

Last question, about the first phase of the All-Star voting, a reporter mentioned a strange thing in the eyes of American imperialist fans: "The first phase of the All-Star voting has ended, and Yao Ming has become the king of votes, do you think this is a normal phenomenon?" ”

Qiao Hai only answered two words to this question: "Normal." ”

He then refused to answer any more questions, leaving the rest of the interview to Ron Artest.

Atai's style of answering questions is rather rough, and each question is answered very casually, and he was asked how he felt after moving to the Rockets and the Bulls.

Artay's answer even made the current head coach of the Bulls, Bill Cartwright, and the former head coach Tim Floyd vomit blood: "The difference is that the Rockets have been winning, and the Rockets have two great coaches, whether it is the former Rudy or the current Joe ......."

The implication is that the Bulls' current Bill Cartwright and predecessor Tim Floyd aren't stellar.

A reporter asked, and Atai replied very bluntly: "That's right, whether it's Bill Cartwright or Tim Floyd, they are far worse than Joe." ”

……

Although Artay was telling the truth, his answer still caused an uproar after the game, although the media in Chicago did not look down on Bill Cartwright, but they looked down on Artest who was no longer their own, otherwise they would not have made a lot of money after Jerry Kraus traded for Artey.

As a result, all sorts of criticism poured into Atay.

There were also many Chicago fans who posted on the Hoop forum to demand an apology from Artay, and this kind of post swept almost the entire Hoop forum, and Hoop was directly swiped.

After all, in the United States, the number of Bulls fans should be second only to the existence of the Lakers Knicks, especially in this era.

"Ron Artest should apologize, anyway, Tim Floyd was also his mentor when he first entered the NBA."

"Ron Artest criticized his former club, the Bulls and his former head coach, did he forget who gave him the opportunity to play early in his career?"

"Ron Artest is so rambling, who gave him confidence?"

“……”

All kinds of remarks even Qiao Hai was speechless, for the fermentation of this matter, Qiao Hai's way of dealing with it was very simple, he asked Atai not to respond, and then directly called Kevending, and asked the Hoop forum to start deleting posts.

As a result, after the mass deletion of posts, some other posts began to appear in the Hoop forum area.

The titles of the posts are all -

"Mass deletion of posts? Ron Artest's backstage is a bit hard! ”

"Isn't Hoop the most impartial sports forum? Why didn't you even say anything? ”

"Who is the boss of Hoop? Is it a leg with a rocket? ”

For these posts, Qiao Hai really wanted to reply: "That's right, you're right, you really have a leg!" ”

There are also posts that speak from the perspective of the rocket: "Ron Artest just told some truths, why criticize and abuse him so wildly? ”

"Bulls fans are about to make this forum their home, and deleting posts and banning them is the way they should be."

"Ron Artest is an upright man, he is telling the truth, even if he offends some people, he should be forgiven."

None of these posts were deleted, and all of them were left behind.

This makes people speculate even more that there should be a relationship between Qiao Hai or Rocket behind Hoop Sports.
