In the last game in which the Lakers beat the Spurs, people thought that this time they played the Rockets, not to mention crushing, at least they had an advantage. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Rockets have no advantage in other positions except for Harden, the Lakers have Howard, a big killer, on the inside, Blake and Jamison have a solid three-point hand, Clark has outstanding ability to respond to the high position, and Liu Ren is almost unstoppable in the air, and the Rockets have no way to block it.

This is not a fantasy to look at the lineup, all these things were shown in the last game against the Spurs, although the Spurs troika is not there, but even without the troika, the Spurs are much stronger than the Rockets.

Public opinion unanimously believes that the Lakers and Rockets, which the Spurs can't stop, have little chance to stop them.

Even the Rockets themselves don't have much confidence to stop the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant is right, but the Lakers have the best record in the league after the All-Star break, and that momentum is still there.

But while fighting, Team Rocket found that the opponent was not as strong as imagined!

Especially Howard, who is known as the league's No. 1 center, plays badly!

So the Rockets began to fight back against the Lakers, and the more they played, the more confident they became, and they kept pressing the Lakers later.

In the first quarter, 33-17, the Rockets quickly stretched the difference to more than 15 points!

During the interval, D'Antoni was not well.

"Liu, how did you do it? Only two shots in a whole section? Cut it inside! Air cut! More shots! Steve, Antoine, what about your shots? Earl, you pass the ball to the right person, not blindly......" D'Antoni roared.

Before the game, D'Antoni was dismissive of the Rockets, and the only opponent in his eyes now is the Spurs in the playoffs, who knew that the Lakers were actually pressed and beaten by the Rockets!

If they lose to the Rockets, they can only rank eighth in the West, the Thunder are much more difficult to deal with than the Spurs, the two cores are young and strong, and no one on the Lakers' side can stop them.

The most important thing is that D'Antoni didn't think about how much he could do in the playoffs, he just wanted to disgust the Spurs and get revenge on the idea that the other side used them as stepping stones.

If this loses to the Rockets, how can they get revenge on the Spurs?

Reaching the Western Conference Finals?

It's impossible to think.

Liu Ren was the first to be scolded, and he was also aggrieved, he wanted status in this team or not, it didn't matter if he wanted to have a relationship, if he wanted qualifications or not, when Howard was playing blindly, would anyone give him the ball?

Thinking of this, Liu Ren was angry, and at the same time very helpless, he knew what was going on, Howard was obviously disturbed by the media, plus he had already made the playoffs, so he barely completed the task, and was sprayed by the media, and began to break the jar.

And this broken jar is more eye-catching than the one Liu Ren knew in his previous life, Liu Ren's game against the Spurs in his previous life, although Howard also played well, but it was far less good than this time, in the game in his previous life, although the Lakers also won, but because there was no one with athletic ability to help Howard share his worries on the inside, he worked hard alone on the inside to suppress Dio, Split, and Leonard.

This time, Liu Ren kept cutting and hitting the basket, attracting Split's attention and Leonard's pursuit, allowing Howard to play with ease, easily destroying the Spurs' interior group without Duncan, and creating a big gap on the outside by the way, relying on D'Antoni's tactical running to easily get scoring opportunities.

Howard, who faced the Spurs' explosive defense, successfully proved his strength and helped the Lakers reach the playoffs.

Therefore, even if Howard is playing randomly now and causing the Lakers to lose, no one will doubt his strength, but judge the situation from off-court news.

Howard is now broken and broken, and he thinks that the media already sees him that way anyway, and it doesn't matter how bad it is.

As Liu Ren thought, Howard did not want to stay with the Lakers anymore, as he expected.

The pressure on Los Angeles was too great, and I thought that playing a good game would allow the media to sing his praises, which was how easy the media in Orlando was to deal with in the first place, but the truth was that it attracted constant ridicule.

Looking at everyone's helpless expressions, how could D'Antoni not know what was going on, but Howard is the only star of the team, so he can't be prevented from playing, right? How can he play if he doesn't play? And Howard was traded by the Lakers for a lot of money, and if Howard doesn't renew his contract with the team for some reason, then the job will be gone.

Liu Ren looked at D'Antoni with some contempt, D'Antoni's concerns were almost written on his face, no wonder the locker room couldn't be controlled at all.

Can Howard keep him on the court all the time? D'Antoni couldn't see the facts too clearly.

D'Antoni had always thought that he and Jeremy Lin could stay with the Knicks last summer, and then both left, and the Knicks didn't even have any intention of staying.

Liu Ren doesn't want Howard to stay with the Lakers, with Howard here, the Lakers' reconstruction can almost be said to be in one step, with Howard, it can definitely attract the attention of many stars, Howard is still in the time when Yu Wei still exists, unlike the later trade, no one dared to take over.

But Liu Ren and Howard have no intersection at all, and their status in the NBA is even more different, and now the two have no room for dialogue together.

Liu Ren felt that if he posted it and told Howard that you stay, how strong we would be in the future, who people would we attract, and then say the players he wanted to recruit, they were all people who were not well-known, and they would definitely be scolded stupidly by this big man.

So Liu Ren thinks that if Howard's brain is caught by the door to stay with the Lakers, it is definitely something to be happy about, if he doesn't stay, it's just a matter of course, don't worry about it, look for opportunities to make some powerful players who are not famous at all now and come to the Lakers in the future, which is more realistic.

Watching D'Antoni take the initiative to communicate with Howard, that kind of slightly powerless in the face of privileged players, Liu Ren feels that there is no point, you as a head coach still need to beg the players to play well, what other prestige can you have?

No wonder some people say that the biggest trouble after the Lakers formed the Big Four is not the contradictions between the players, but that no coach with WeChat can suppress this group of players, otherwise these players have big contradictions, no matter how big the emotions, it is impossible to have such a bad record with such a good hand, last season's Lakers lineup is far inferior to this season, Kobe Bryant's state is not so good, and the record is still in the top three in the West.

"Dwight, you are the only hope for our team, all the hope of victory is placed on you, only you can lead us to victory......" D'Antoni was easy to blush when he was in a hurry, and he couldn't see any embarrassment when he said this kind of shameless and shameless words.

Howard is a player, like a big child, although it is impossible to change his mind that he does not want to stay in Los Angeles, but it is okay to coax him to play a good game, under the persuasion of D'Antoni, Howard looked at the team without Kobe, and felt that he was indeed the expectation of his teammates.

I don't want to stay on this team anymore, but my teammates are innocent! We have to win with them, we don't worry about the next contract, but everyone else is different!

Howard thought of Liu Ren, who had a very tacit understanding with him in the last game and always took away the opposing defense players at the right time, and he seemed to remember that this Chinese contract was about to expire this year, and it would be bad if he lost the opportunity to stay in the NBA.
