Chapter 230: Time is still fast
After the Rockets beat the Trail Blazers all over their home court, the Rockets were finally able to rest for two days.
No, not to mention that this year's regular season is really, a lot of time is playing back-to-back, a lot of time is 4 days 3 games, 5 days 4 games like that, training players who have a little too long rest this year.
However, the impact of these on the Rockets is not very large, after all, the Rockets play a lot of people, and 12 people can play.
The wheel battle ** made all the opponents of the rocket cry bitterly.
After resting at home for 2 days, the Rockets left for San Antonio to play the Spurs. However, seeing that the Spurs didn't wake up before the game, Olajuwon was amused.
walked up to Barkley's side and said with a smile: "I said Charles, what did you sit on yesterday, you look dissatisfied all day, is it because your wife didn't let you go to bed yesterday." ”
Barkley glanced at Olajuwon a little listlessly, and said weakly: "You try, 5 games in 6 days, 3 consecutive back-to-backs, I don't think you will die." ”
When Olajuwon heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Charles, you have also encountered this kind of thing, we also encountered this kind of thing last month, I thought we were the only ones like this, it turns out that you are too." ”
Barkley looked at the laughing Olajuwon, and said angrily: "You just laugh, Hakim, I wish you boy, laugh and drop your jaw, you can't play this game." ”
Looking at Barkley with a resentful face, Olajuwon couldn't help but smile and said: "Your kid's stinky mouth is really incurable, don't talk to each other, save you from continuing to complain, look at you like this, we can't win today." ”
After speaking, he held back a smile and ran back to his half.
Looking at Olajuwon, who was flushed with laughter and ran back to his own half, Barkley could only shake his head helplessly, he knew that the Spurs were in danger in this game.
Sure enough, after the start of the game, the spirits of the two sides were not on the same level at all, and the rocket recovered physically after 2 days of rest, and his mental state was also good.
And the Spurs are much worse in terms of physical fitness, coupled with mental exhaustion, they were dominated by the Rockets from the very beginning of the game, no matter how the Spurs home fans cheered for them, the Spurs players were like last night collectively crazy with n beauties, all of them were sluggish.
Seeing the situation like the Spurs, of course, the Rockets will not let it go easily, and everyone wants to do the thing of falling into the well and beating the water dogs.
Facing his old opponents, and a team with a majority of old men, the Rocket's stone is very fast and fierce.
By the end of the game, the Rockets were 115:82, allowing the Spurs to swallow a big bitter fruit on their home court.
Looking at the Rockets who left with a high spirit, all the players of the Spurs secretly gritted their teeth, thinking about how to take revenge next time they met their opponents.
But is there any danger in this, of course not.
After beating the Spurs on the road, the Rockets returned to Houston that night, and there was no way to return to their home court against the SuperSonics the next day.
It's late to get back to Houston though. After all, it's still going home, and there's nothing bad about it.
However, the next day, looking at the superSonics in Houston, the Rockets laughed again.
There's no way not to laugh, and the Spurs are like a egg, can the Rockets not laugh?
Mark? Jackson stepped forward to tease Peyton, but Peyton rolled his eyes and smashed him back. Looking at Mark, though? Jackson looked satisfied, skimming the state of figure-of-eight, knowing that Peyton was taken by Mark? Jackson was choking enough.
Sure enough, after the game started, the Rockets still easily controlled the situation on the court, although Payton worked very hard, but the Rockets' strong defensive strength made his efforts alone.
Wen? Baker was limited by Garnett to score 10 points and 6 rebounds, Schramf made Crohill full of bags, and Hawkins was stared at by Big Ben and couldn't get the ball.
Without the support of his teammates, Payton, who scored 23 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in the game, could only watch the Rockets easily take away the victory.
96:84 The Rockets won comfortably, and the Rockets completed their nine-game winning streak.
After defeating the exhausted Spurs and the SuperSonics in a row.
The Rockets welcomed the Mavericks, who have been in good shape recently, Nash and Finley are now running in very well, and Dazhi is also integrated into the Mavericks, Nowitzki is not very adaptable, but this is very normal for an international player to be uncomfortable in one way or another in a new environment.
However, Dazhi, who has been messing around in the United States for nearly 2 years, is obviously better than mixing in his previous life.
Without the competition of Nowitzki and Lafrentz, Dazhi has become the main choice for the Mavericks' power forward, and Nowitzki can only swing between the small forward and power forward positions.
On April 22, the Mavericks visited the home of the Rockets, Compaq Center Arena.
Before the start of the game, a large number of reporters from China gathered in the stadium, and the third Chinese derby, although a little old-fashioned, but the relatively barren Chinese sports press, such a high-level game, is still worth paying attention to.
After the start of the game, the bus became the starter, which is a matter of the last 10 games. But being able to start for the championship team is also an amazing thing, and it still squeezes out the big dream, although the big dream is old.
And Dazhi still failed to become the main force, although now Dazhi can average 9.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, but he can't become the main player of the Mavericks, in this regard, Dazhi is still a little worse than the bus, after all, the bus has been playing in the United States for 4 years, the NBA has been playing for three years, and he has won the championship with the team.
However, the Mavericks are clearly in good shape today, with Nash and Finley both in free attack mode, and both of them have been greatly unleashed in their scoring ability.
In contrast, the Rockets are not in a very good state today, except for the bus to clean up Bradley under the basket without much effort, the other positions of the Rockets are not very good today, after the end of the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks have led the Rockets by 7 points.
This made all the Rockets fans who were there to watch the game boo.
After a short break between the two quarters, both sides adjusted their emotions and prepared to continue the battle.
After the start of the second quarter, Dazhi and Nowitzki were substituted, and Nash began to schedule.
An incredible scene occurred, and the two big men of the Mavericks made a long shot in the second quarter.
Yes, you read that right, it was the Mavericks' two players who started to shoot three-pointers.
One on this side, one on the other side, one on the other side, one on this side, and one on that side.
The rocket was thrown into tears by the Mavericks, two big men over 2.10 meters, yes, can you cry.
In the entire second quarter of the game, these two goods threw in 7 three-pointers, and Lao Tang was already powerless to watch.
Garnett and Horry's defense has been sealed in the faces of two men, but people are goals, do you have any ideas? Then you can only watch the others continue to score.
Looking at the end of the half, the difference between the two teams was 17 points, and everyone thought they were dreaming.
Back in the locker room, the Rockets were still in a dream, all of them didn't believe that the Rockets were 17 points behind at halftime, and it was a team like the Mavericks.
There was laughter on the other side of the Mavericks locker room.
The current calf is really tangled, not an ordinary tangled.
After halftime adjustments, the Rocket's sleepwalking state finally woke up, and the Rocket's offense finally showed its power.
But the Mavericks who surrendered are not easy to deal with, Nash, Finley, Dazhi, Nowitzki, today's strong outburst of these four people finally let the powerful Rockets know what the NBA is without a weak brigade.
Finley dominated the game throughout the third quarter, scoring 19 points in a single quarter, allowing the Rockets to pull back only 3 points before the end of the third quarter, and before the start of the fourth quarter, the Rockets trailed the opponent by 14 points.
Looking at the somewhat inexplicable Rocket player, Lao Tang said with a wry smile: "Let's do our best today, the Mavericks' state today is really good, how to shoot, you just play with all your heart." ”
All the Rocket players also laughed wryly when they heard this, what is the matter.
It's nothing, people's calves just feel good, even if your hand is sealed on your face, people can throw it in, what can you do, how can you not do it.
After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the Rockets' players began to chase points again, but the Mavericks didn't do anything good today, just the feel, do you have a way?
When the Mavericks threw in four three-pointers in a row in the fourth quarter of the game, Lao Tang was speechless.
The final score was 116:104.
The Mavericks won on the road against the mighty Rockets.
Dazhi contributed 22 points and seven rebounds, Nowitzki had 19 points and nine rebounds, Finley had 33 points and six rebounds, and Nash had 12 points but contributed 12 assists.
The rocket was defeated by the powerful artillery fire of the Mavericks.
After the game, Lao Tang sighed at the press conference: If this feeling comes up, no one is an opponent, no matter how good the defense is, people's hands are hot like a volcano, what can you do.
On the other hand, the old Nelson is full of red light, can defeat the most powerful opponent in the league, do you say the old Nelson can not be happy, the old Nelson told reporters: Today's victory is the efforts of the whole team, the hard work of the whole team players, if it were not for the Mavericks' crazy attack today, it would not be able to defeat the powerful Rocket Army.
Now old Nelson is very hilarious, and old soup is very depressed.
After a nine-game winning streak, the Rockets lost to the Mavericks who were crazy about projection.
After the game, Tiger, who was still far away in New York, called Lao Tang, and heard Tiger say with a smile: "Hehe, Rudy, don't be sad, who hasn't missed, the Rockets are in the best state now, you can't ask for anything." ”
Lao Tang said with a wry smile: "I'm not asking for anything, I just admire the calf's feel, it's really good, I don't know how many methods have been used, and I can't stop the calf's crazy projection." ”
Tiger laughed and said: "Rudy, don't worry, in less than two years, the whole league will have a headache for the Mavericks' crazy projection, such a team is adding a crazy coach, maybe in the future adding a crazy boss, the whole league will have a headache." ”
The two chatted for a few words, and Tiger hung up.
Thinking of today's game, Tiger is a burst of funny, a group of crazy pitchers, plus a group of crazy head coaches, and a crazy boss in the future, the league is interesting.
Thinking of the Kuban of the later generations, Tiger knew that if the Kuban was joining the alliance in the future, this alliance would be really interesting, and Tiger laughed again when he thought of it.
I didn't pay attention to the loss of the game.
At this time, the Rockets have exploded most of their minds on the upcoming playoffs, because there are still 8 games left, and the game of the shrinking season is coming to an end.
The Rockets are about to leave for Los Angeles to play the Clippers.
The shrinking season is coming to an end.
