Chapter 220: Successive Battles
The Rockets lost again, and they lost to a quasi-strong team like the Trail Blazers, which also gave all teams hope of beating the Rockets, and the Rockets were not so invincible.
Looking back and talking about the Rockets, losing to the Trail Blazers Rockets can really be a surprise, who hasn't played well.
The Rockets, who returned to their home court, welcomed the Denver Nuggets.
Or Virtue? Anthony's team, or McDyes, Van? Xcel's combination, but there is no way to stop the Rockets who just lost.
Compared with the Trail Blazers, the Nuggets are like a delicious piece of cake, which makes people very nostalgic, and McDyes, who is not injured, can still PK with Garnett, Fan? Xcel also stirred up some confusion on the Rockets' guard line, but it was all just a small trouble, a very small one.
The pent-up attack power in Portland was released in this game, and Lao Tang played a 'run bombardment' with the Nuggets on a whim, and the attack speed of the two teams suddenly increased. Anthony stood up excitedly and shouted in his heart: This is the attack I want, this is the attack I want.
The Rockets used the whole offense to tell the opponent what the real 'run and bomb' is.
At 135:104 at the end of the game, the Rockets won a big game, letting the Nuggets know that the Rockets' small-ball tactics are also very good.
After the game, De? Anthony highly praised the offensive spirit of the Rockets, believing that if the Rockets attack wholeheartedly, then they are very likely to subvert the tradition and win the championship with a team that goes all out to attack.
Although Lao Tang admired the young coach in Denver, he remained cautiously skeptical of the coach's ideas.
In private, Lao Tang once said to Tiger: If you want to rely on small-ball tactics to win the championship, I remain cautious and suspicious, this tactic may be an invincible existence in the regular season, and you will be in addition to those teams that are hovering on the edge of the playoffs, but once this tactic wins the playoffs, it will be difficult to survive, thinking that the defensive strength of the playoffs is not comparable to the regular season.
After the Denver Nuggets at their home court, the Rockets players had a rare day off, and the tense game during this time made all the Rockets players a little nervous.
The Rockets players who had a day off looked in good spirits before the start of the game against the Vancouver Grizzlies.
Looking at the energetic Rocket players, Lao Tang was also very satisfied, and the mental outlook of a team determines the strength that a team can generate.
However, the game against the Grizzlies still didn't waste much of the Rockets' spirit, and after the main players played two and a half quarters, the Rockets began to practice again.
The Rockets' bench players have room to play, and Malik? Rose, Antonio? Daniels and Saullius combined for 27 points, leaving the Grizzlies home gloomily.
After a two-game winning streak at home, the Rockets continue to host the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.
There is not much difference between this year's knights and last year's, although Kemp's size is already very scary, but at least this kid's attack power has not decreased much, and with the gradual maturity of the big 'z', with the addition of Wesley, Anderson, Brian? Knight, Cedric? With the assistance of Henderson and others, the strength of the Cleveland people has not changed much.
As soon as the game began, Garnett laughed as he looked at the shape that Campner had already used with Barkley and O'Neal. I heard Garnett say, "I said Sean, you can't even wear the biggest panties." ”
Kemp's mouth was crooked, and he said in a low voice: "Kevin, you kid buried me Shaq, and then came to bury me again, no, your kid's stinky mouth is really annoying." ”
Garnett shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Man, this is the game, this is the battlefield, you have to know that our goal is the final championship, and whoever stands in our way, we have to kick them out." ”
Camp whispered to Garnett: "You kid, you have met a group of good teammates, if I have such a group of good teammates, I can also win the championship, what kind of arrogance do you have." ”
Garnett looked at Camp's appearance of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes were sour, and he was amused for a while, so he heard Garnett say: "Man, this thing is fate, your luck is bad, what can you do, you can't do anything at all, you are just miserable." ”
These few words made Camp angry enough, but what people said was right, this is fate.
It's like Malone, Stockton, Barkley, and so on, Jordan is looking forward to going home, and here is another rocket, and an old guy like Olajuwon is in front of them, isn't this just a bad fate.
Looking at Olajuwon, who has won two championships, he could have retired with a stop, but he is just lucky, he met a rich boss, and he is a very knowledgeable boss, I don't know where there are so many good players, so that the Rockets can rise strongly under the iron hooves of the bull, and finally kick the man who has become a god off the altar, which is simply incredible.
What is the reason for such a strong rise of the Rockets, this team is talked about by all teams in the league.
But all this has nothing to do with Kemp now, his mission today is to defeat the Rockets, but it seems that this task is really difficult.
Because after the whole game started, it fell into the control of the rocket.
From the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the bus was on the big 'z' although there was a difference in height, but the strength of the big Ben completely made up for this, as long as the big 'z' received the ball, the bus would have a strong physical contact with him, such a body contact was completely within the range of the rules, but he greatly destroyed the stability of the big 'z', so that his power decreased a lot.
Garnett's defense of Camp is also very successful, the already fat Camp is really not Garnett's opponent, and even more so in other positions, the Rockets' strong defensive ability has completely made the Cavaliers' offense fall into a quagmire.
By the end of the first quarter, the Rockets were already leading by seven points.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Rockets increased their defense against the Cavaliers, once allowing the Cavaliers to score no points in five minutes, while the Rockets played an 11:0 attack wave, allowing the Rockets to expand the score to 18 points at once.
By the end of the second quarter, the Rockets had stretched the score to 20 points.
After halftime adjustments, the Cavaliers' head coach Vlatro tried to take advantage of the Rockets' relaxation to launch a counterattack, but the four consecutive three-pointers of Crohill and Saulius who came off the bench made the Cavaliers completely lose hope.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers replaced all the main players, allowing the bench players to come on the court to feel the atmosphere and increase the experience of the game.
The Rockets also replaced the bench players and played tacit ball with the Cavaliers, and by the end of the game, the Rockets won the game 111:99.
The Rockets are once again on a three-game winning streak.
However, the next game of the Rockets will fly to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.
At this time, Tiger was also busy with the future career of the rockets, and in his office, Dawson was reporting on the progress of the arena.
I heard Dawson say: "Boss, now the progress of our new stadium is the same as we expected, I can't say that these construction teams you are looking for in China are really great, hard-working, hard-working, can endure hardships, they are the best workers." ”
Tiger nodded, smiled and said: "Yes, these people are really able to endure hardship, if you let the American construction workers do it, I don't know when it will be finished, as long as the system of the project has been set with these people, our supervisors can keep up, they are definitely the best builders, I have cooperated with this Chinese construction company on a lot of projects, the quality is very good, and the construction price is only two-thirds of the local American enterprises, we are responsible for providing building materials and project supervision, they are responsible for personnel." You go and tell them that as long as they can ensure the quality of the completion of the expected goals, I will provide additional bonuses to each of their workers. ”
Dawson looked at his boss and thought to himself: Boss, you are really rich, as long as you finish it on time, there will be a bonus, which is really good.
Thinking of this, Dawson nodded and said, "I understand, boss, don't worry." ”
Tiger picked up the information on the table and said, "Dawson, you said that next year's champion sign, do we have any hope of getting it?" ”
When Dawson heard this, he knew that this was the main purpose of coming to him today, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "It's very difficult, I don't know if this year's top pick will fall into the hands of that team." ”
Tiger looked at the information and said very seriously: "Yes, it's very difficult to judge, the last few teams this year have a chance to get the top pick." ”
After speaking, he pointed to several teams on the information, the Chicago Bulls, the most favorable contenders for last year's championship, became the favorite for this year's No. 1 pick, I don't know what the retired 'Flyers' will look like when they see such a situation, and the rest are the Grizzlies, Clippers, Hornets and Toronto, these teams.
Dawson looked at the information and said, "Boss, you must know that if we want to get the champion sign, our contribution will be very large." ”
Tiger looked at the information silently, and said after a long silence: "I know, but I really don't want to let go of such a player, his talent is still very good." ”
Dawson shook his head and said: "You just saw the talent and potential, but now the talent and potential of that player in the Rockets team is worse than this kid, I want you to think twice, boss." ”
Tiger stood up a little irritably, paced back and forth, and said after a while: "No, this person must get, the potential of a person has been behind the huge economic market is not anyone who says to give up can give up, this is a very real problem, we must win, this depends on our means, if we really can't take it, wait for this year's team to use this year's champion sign, I must win, this is very critical." ”
Dawson was also silent for a long time before saying: "Actually, it's not impossible, let's see if we can get this draft pick through multiple trades, if we can't get it, we can only trade." ”
Tiger gritted his teeth and said: "There are a few non-sale items, I can pay for anyone, I don't know which team can get this year's top pick." ”
Dawson pondered for a moment and said: "It's very likely to be Chicago, because their strength has disappeared too much this year, and the league will definitely replenish their strength." ”
Tiger walked back and forth for a long time, and said with a somewhat vicious expression: "Then it's okay to be that Jewish guy, talk about it well, and see what the chips he wants." ”
Dawson said in a deep voice, "Hopefully, Klaus won't be too ruthless. ”
