The Staples Center was already quiet at this time, and the sudden burst of the Rockets directly blinded the fans at the scene.

"As Qiao Hai said, before this game, there may have been some fans who have forgotten Qiao Hai's contribution to this team, but Qiao Hai will use his performance to remind the fans here of some things they should remember......

……

Rick Carlisle went on to call out the second timeout of the quarter.

But after the timeout, the Rockets continued to perform the shark-cutting tactic.

The Sharks no longer had the free throw percentage they did in the first half, and he began to hit one of two free throws and even missed both.

The Rockets took advantage of this opportunity and with 2 minutes left in the third quarter, a wave extended the margin to 20 points!

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets led the Lakers by 18 points at 83:65!

"With 18 points behind, the Lakers are gone, and they have already lost this Christmas battle! In the fourth quarter, they wanted to turn the tables around, and there was only theoretical hope left. ”

……

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets continued to expand their lead, O'Neal was subject to shark slashing tactics, Kobe Bryant didn't shoot much in the first half, and he couldn't find his hand in the second half, and Karl Malone didn't feel good from beginning to end, and he was in a state of dumb fire.

In this case, Yao Ming broke out, Wade broke out, Gary Payton broke out, and even Ron Artest broke out.

The Rockets broke out with four people, and the Lakers couldn't parry.

In the private room in the middle of the Staples Center, Wade once again slammed down, David Stern clapped his hands, and turned his head to look at Leslie Alexander: "Leslie, your team is doing very well today!" ”

Although Leslie Alexander will not fight for anything, the president of the league has praised his team, and he must be happy.

Therefore, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's all Qiao Hai's credit." ”

On the other side, Jerebus also applauded with a very reluctant smile, his eyes kept rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

At the end, the timer buzzed and beeped.

The Staples Center was full of chicken feathers, and a large number of Lakers fans left the court early, leaving only a part of the die-hard fans to boo.

The scoreboard at the top of the arena showed the score, 112:87, and the Rockets finally beat the Lakers by 25 points on the road!

This Christmas battle, which was supposed to be a showdown between the strong and the strong, turned into a one-sided rocket in the end, which was a result that no one expected.

At the end of the game, Qiao Hai raised his hands high above his head, and then applauded continuously.

It's a way to celebrate, but in the eyes of those die-hard Lakers fans, Qiao Hai is reminding them of something!

No matter how the Lakers change, he, Joe!

All of them are former Lakers head coaches who are better than Phil Jackson, Bill Carlisle, and better than anyone else!

Qiao Hai's words last season rang in their ears: "If the Lakers hadn't driven me away, I would have brought the Lakers to build a dynasty, a dynasty with four consecutive championships, even five consecutive championships, and six consecutive championships!" ”

So, even if Qiao Hai celebrated so arrogantly, the diehard Lakers fans left on the sidelines couldn't make a sound at all......

……

At the press conference after the game, Qiao Hai was naturally the focus of reporters.

Someone asked Qiao Hai: "Is there anything you want to say about defeating the Lakers again?" ”

Qiao Hai leaned on the back of the chair and said lightly: "I just want to tell everyone that the invincible Qiao Hai is back!" ”

Immediately, a reporter asked: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's very simple, last season, my full win against the Lakers ended, but from this season onwards, my full win against the Lakers is going to start again!"

"Before the game, a lot of Lakers fans booed me, and I said to David Wallace that I'm going to use this game to help these fans who booed me remember something."

"And now, I have to remind them that these things include the record of winning all against the Lakers after I left the Lakers, although last season was temporarily interrupted because of the strength of the Rockets, but as long as my team has a certain quality, this all-win record will start again."

"Now, it's from this game that it starts again!"

Another reporter asked: "Some things?" So what else? ”

"I said that if I didn't leave the Lakers, the current Lakers would have won three or even four consecutive championships, and now, this sentence can be slightly modified, if I continued to stay with the Lakers, then, the current Lakers will have four consecutive championships or even five consecutive championships!"

……

……

On Christmas Eve, the Rockets beat the Lakers 112-87, the Mavericks narrowly beat the Kings 110-103, and the Grizzlies beat the Cavaliers 113-101.

Except for the game between the Rockets and the Lakers, the other two matchups are not enough to watch.

So, the next day, almost all the headlines went to the Rockets and Lakers.

ESPN's report headlined: "25-point win on Christmas Eve, Qiao Hai awakens Lakers memory, he will rule this league again!" ”

Qiao Hai's long remarks after the game were naturally the focus of ESPN's report.

Almost the entire report, ESPN was frantically picking on saliva, hoping that someone on the Lakers team would stand up and refute Qiao Hai.

But in fact, they also know that no one in the Lakers will stand up to refute Qiao Hai, only someone may stand up and support Qiao Hai's words.

For example, Hoop Sports has picked up a trumpet suspected of Shaquille O'Neal, and this trumpet wrote: "If the coaches of the two teams are changed, the Lakers will win this game, and everything else will be changed!" ”

In fact, it would not be surprising if O'Neill did make this statement.

Because of this game, to a certain extent, Yao Ming broke him.

Hoop Sports' post-match report started with a big comparison of the players from the two teams.

"In this game, Shaquille O'Neal only made 14 shots, 7 hits, plus 8 of 19 free throws, Shaquille O'Neal only scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks in this game."

"Compared with Yao Ming on the other side, Yao Ming, who shot 14 of 24 in this game, scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in the whole game, a game-best statistic."

"Although there are very few opportunities for the two to face each other directly in this game, through data comparison, it is obvious that Yao Ming has blown up the big shark in this game!"

"Kobe Bryant's performance in this game was excellent and strange, he only took 8 shots, hit 5 shots, got 16 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, not only did he shoot less, but he also had fewer assists."

"The performance of Dwyane Wade, the best scoring guard in this rookie, was 7-of-12 shooting, with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, which is obviously a clear contrast!"

Hoop Sports' unintentional comparison of the two sets actually gradually unraveled the contradictions within the Lakers' team.

O'Neal couldn't receive the pass, Kobe Bryant was reluctant to pass, O'Neal didn't have the ball to play alone, but Kobe was looked down upon by Rick Carlisle.

After this game, the contradictions within the Lakers became more and more deep......
