After this game, the Rockets won three consecutive games, Howard and Harden were in the locker room dealing with the media, while Wang Xiaoer chased after McHale, he was talking about something anxiously, and McHale motioned for him to talk in a different place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Howard was caught by the media today, taking advantage of his three consecutive wins to be in a good mood, two sturdy male reporters robbed him back from the way to the bathhouse, but after he came back, the reporters regretted it, he was as always, talking clichés, playing official, while talking and bowing his head to sort out his jersey, the jersey didn't know what was special, he was reluctant to put it down, it made people suspect that there were words on it, he was reading it.
"Mr. Superman, I knew you were so bad, we might as well let you go to the bathhouse"
"Haha~ What do you want to hear?" Howard is indeed in a good mood today, if you want to race him like this in the past, get up and leave, maybe you don't take a shower, and drive home directly.
"Tell us what is the secret of your three consecutive victories" The reporter asked, and the other immediately added, "Don't come to the pit, buddy, play a team, stay focused or something, the beard over there has been sprayed"
Howard looked at Harden, who was holding a pad and sharing rap music, "Why are you robbing me of my lines?" ”
Harden was stunned for a moment, then stared at the reporter and smiled mysteriously, "You kid is finished, while I listen to music and hack me, Lao Tzu tells you, I am saving you time, you ask Coach McHale this question, he is sure to be exactly the same as I said"
As soon as Howard opened his mouth, the media knew that he was really ready to say something, "Putting aside those clichés, I think our ability to win three consecutive victories has a lot to do with defense, especially Wang Xiaoer, you see him against Zack. What does Randolph look like?"
"He's a substitute"
"Yes, but the spirit of defense has nothing to do with whether you start or not, how far a team can go has a lot to do with its attitude towards defense, and Coach McHale emphasized the team's willpower on the defensive end, and it was because we came to the Rockets because we were on the same page."
This kind of words, Harden will not let go, he has been distracted from Howard's first "defense", secretly lowered the volume of his headphones, and pretended to shake his head with the music, but he didn't drop a word "MB, you just got on with Lao Tzu, it's not over" Harden thought in his heart, in fact, Howard aimed at Jones, it doesn't matter if he wants to replace Jones with Wang Xiaoer, Harden himself also recognizes that Wang Xiaoer's defense does throw Jones a street, but Harden is a smart person, he will follow this thinking and see Howard's serious behind" Hidden Stories"
It's strange to say, Wang Xiaoer has no professional experience, but his playing style is not professional, he likes to pass the ball, is good at playing teamwork, accurate prediction on the defensive end, is a typical academic style of play, his presence will liberate Howard from the defensive end, but will reduce his freedom on the offensive end, just a few games, Harden found that when Wang Xiaoer is on the court, the proportion of singles with the ball will decrease, not like Jones will take the initiative to pull space for himself, and Howard's singles opportunities will increase, in other words, In Wang Xiaoer's eyes, Howard is a more efficient offensive finisher than himself.
Harden wasn't going to tear up with Howard, and he also understood that a team's voice tends to tilt in favor of veterans, so he sneaked Jones out.
"Dude, do you trust me?"
"Needless to say, you're like my big brother," Jones said, opening his mouth.
"Can the space of the rocket keep you? I mean, if you don't pay the luxury tax."
"My agent thinks it's not worth me at all, and I think so myself, less than 4 million, what do you think, do you think I should agree?!"
Harden patted him on the shoulder, "Of course 4 million is not enough, but have you thought about it, you don't accept it, if this contract is lost to Wang Xiaoer, will he accept it?" ”
"I think so, I'm in competition with him, I know, but objectively I think he's worth the price, but what does that have to do with me?" Jones didn't understand what Harden meant, because he had the initiative, the Rockets couldn't give a bid, and he could go to the free market.
"Do you want to stay in the rocket?"
"Then you still need to ask?! I'm playing out here, brother," Jones said firmly
"That's right, you accept the contract, what will happen to the king, will Morey pay taxes for him?"
"But I can't..."
"Don't say that, just answer me," Harden put his hand between the two and motioned for Jones to follow his thoughts
"Morey won't, the king will be hoisted by other teams"
"OK, then you can have room to regret it, hit it, the rocket has no choice, and you have to pay taxes"
After Harden finished speaking, he walked towards the parking lot by himself, Jones was still summing up, isn't this just a lie to the Rockets? He called out to Harden, and the beard seemed to understand where his doubts were, and turned back from a distance, shouting at Jones, "Strategy is another way of saying a lie"
Wang Xiaoer was communicating with McHale here, he tried to persuade McHale that Canberra's psychological problems could be solved, McHale listened to him and was very patient, although Wang Xiaoer was not very clear because he was in a hurry, but McHale understood, which means that Wang Xiaoer and Canberra had practiced and felt that Canberra's psychological problems could be corrected.
McHale suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt Wang Xiaoer: "Why do you want to keep him?" ”
Wang Xiaoer didn't think about it, "He has influence in the forbidden area"
"Defensively?"
"Of course!"
"So"
"So what?"
McHale laughed, "So Morey is going to send him away."
Wang Xiaoer is blinded, what do you mean, the defensive end has influence and wants to be sent away? Why didn't you send Howard away? He leaned his hands against the wall, looking helpless.
"Morey tends to make this team an offensive team, like the Warriors, you know."
"But the Warriors also have defense, Bogut on the inside, Iguodala on the outside, Green"
"We've got Howard, we've got Ariza, we've got Brewer, we've got Beverley, kids, we always say a team has to be both offensive and defensive, but you can't find a team that's perfectly balanced, and when it comes to focus, Morey and we don't think the same way."
Wang Xiaoer shook his head, he couldn't believe it, if a Warriors team succeeded, how many swing people who can defend with three points have the highest salary? How many pure traditional athletes have lost their jobs?
"He's going to make room and keep Jones with all his might, right?"
"If you keep this kind of offensive play today, it may be you, but don't talk about Canberra, you can't change it, I can't change it, let's wish him good luck" After that, McHale nodded, signaling to Wang Xiaoer, he had to go, Wang Xiaoer said a few words of greeting, and stayed alone, he began to doubt his decision the day before yesterday, and slowly walked towards the locker room.
"King! Go check out your new car! Mo Tai walked towards him, Wang Xiaoer came to his senses, thinking that he would have a car in the future, so he temporarily put aside those doubts and ran towards the garage.
