Chapter 372: Harden who was critted by a woman
After Chu Xuan attended the press conference of the award, he put the trophy at home, and then flew to Houston with the Lakers non-stop to prepare for the next two away games. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A 2-0 lead is no small advantage, and it is also quite a boost for the Lakers.
The situation is very favorable to the Lakers, and the Lakers only need to win the third game in one go, so the promotion will be a sure thing.
However, it is obviously very difficult to win the third battle. Team Rocket will definitely resist to the death, after all, if they lose the third battle, Team Rocket will fall into a desperate situation.
"We must win two home games and equalize the score!"
The Rockets shouted slogans through the Houston media, and then, the Rockets players did prove their determination to win.
The much-maligned Harden has been a good boy since he returned to Houston, waking up early two days in a row to be the first to go to practice, and then always the last to leave. The frustration with him is starting to ease a bit, and it's clear that Harden isn't hopeless. Harden's efforts undoubtedly express his inner thoughts, which is that he does not want to be eliminated. After all, if it is eliminated, the rocket will have to start again for another year.
Although Harden is only 25 years old, he still wants to win the championship trophy very much.
Sometimes, it's hard to win a championship, and Harden naturally doesn't want to work all the time for nothing.
Harden is focused on preparing for Game 3 and wants to be in the best shape for the Lakers.
However, what is surprising is that a wave of scandals about Harden suddenly spread on the Internet, which immediately triggered laughter and discussion among fans. It turned out that the three women who had dated Harden in Los Angeles before broke the news to the media, saying that Harden's man's characteristics were short and small, and they could not satisfy them at all in terms of time. They claim that this is the worst capable man they have dated over the years, but he doesn't play 4P with all his might, and he always likes, which makes them always feel unfulfilled and unfulfilled......
The world was in an uproar, and Harden suddenly became the laughing stock of everyone after dinner.
This news is boiling, and people can't help but wonder, how will Harden face such foul language? You know, it's about the dignity of men.
As it turned out, Harden did suffer, and he appeared to be quite in a trance in Game 3, which prevented him from playing efficiently. Moreover, Whiteside and Harden got into a physical altercation in the middle of the game and each received a technical foul. And later I also learned that Whiteside used the boiling scandal that is now being rumored to stimulate Harden, and then the enraged Harden asked Whiteside for trouble, and the two spewed trash talk that led to the conflict.
In fact, Harden's physical condition today is good, if he hadn't been affected, he would have been able to play a good game. However, it backfired, Harden failed to show the energy of a superstar and failed to turn the tide with the Rockets to defeat the Lakers.
The hemostasis failed, the series score became 3:0, the Lakers got the match point, and they were only one game away from promotion, while the Rockets were on the verge of elimination.
In this game, the Morden combination played quite remarkably, Harden was 9 of 22, contributing 26 boards, 7 boards, 7 assists and 2 steals. Howard, on the other hand, contributed 14 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, but his offensive efficiency was only 5-of-14. Except for Morden's group, none of the others played the role of a surprise soldier, so it was inevitable to lose.
Morden failed to turn the tide, but on the Lakers' side, someone did what the Morden combination failed to do, and in this key game, he played a very eye-catching individual performance and became the absolute hero of the Lakers' victory. And this person is none other than MVP favorite Norris Noll. In the crucial third game, Noll not only did a good job on the defensive end, making Howard play quite inefficient, but also, on the offensive end, Noll and LaVine carried the Lakers inside and out. In this game, Noll can be said to have once again blown up the Warcraft Howard, which is intuitively reflected in the data.
Noll contributed 27 points, 11 boards, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 2 assists, while LaVine scored 19 points and 8 boards, and Kobe Bryant contributed 15 points, 8 boards and 8 assists.
The Lakers lead 3-0, and the team can be said to have no pressure.
This is an absolute lead, and considering the overall strength and competitive state of the Rockets, there is undoubtedly no problem for the Lakers to advance.
And now, the only thing that can attract the attention of fans is whether the Rockets can win one game and avoid being swept away. You must know that before the series, Harden vowed to eliminate the Lakers, while Chu Xuan said that he would sweep the Rockets. Judging from the current situation, Harden is likely to be slapped in the face, and Chu Xuan may fulfill his promise.
There is no longer any voice that believes that the Rockets have a chance of qualifying, and for some of the Rockets, the only hope is to win two more games and not lose completely.
However, will the Lakers and Chu Xuan give the Rockets this chance? The answer, of course, is no.
And if the Rockets want to win, it seems that they need to work hard for the whole team.
……
After the series between the Lakers and the Rockets did not have much suspense, the attention of the outside world focused on the other 7 groups. Judging from the current situation, this year's playoffs are a bit weird, and some of the favored favorites have played extremely badly, and the situation is quite unfavorable.
The most talked about are the Cavaliers and Warriors, both teams are down 2-1.
It's understandable that the Warriors are behind, after all, the opponent is the Clippers, and Thompson, one of the Splash Brothers, has a sprained ankle, leaving Curry alone. However, the most surprising thing is the Cavaliers, the first playoff game of the Big Three's cooperation, was unexpectedly disadvantaged by the eighth new team Bucks, losing two games in a row.
In addition to these two teams, the Thunder 1:1 Trail Blazers, the Spurs 1:2 Jazz, and the Raptors 2:0 Pacers......
The situation in the playoffs is difficult to figure out, and some teams that are considered to be the biggest obstacles on the road to the Lakers' title defense are in trouble, which has released a lot of pressure on the Lakers, such as the Cavaliers and Warriors, if these two teams are hacked in the first round, then the Lakers will definitely benefit greatly, and the defense of the title will become very simple.
But will things go this way?
All are on the lookout......
The third game with the Rockets was on the night of the 23rd, and at noon on the 24th, the Lakers received good news.
Norris Noll beat Leonard to win the Defensive Player of the Season award, and at just 21 years old, Knoll's defensive stats this season are spectacular, with a total of 164 steals and 173 blocks in 82 games, averaging 2.0 steals and 2.1 blocks per game.
The official press conference and award ceremony were held in Houston, and everyone on the Lakers was there to witness the great moment. (To be continued.) )
