Chapter 307: Another Year of Playoffs

After winning the Hawks on their home court, the Rockets always found their balance, and if anyone can beat the Rockets home and away, at least the Rockets fans at home will not be satisfied, even if the Hawks have a bus.

After the Rockets' victory over the Hawks, they went on a trip to Minnesota and bullied the Timberwolves. Well, even if the main force of the Rockets is all lying down, the Timberwolves are not the opponent of the Rockets, and now the general manager of the Timberwolves, McHale, doesn't know where to cry.

104:89 The Rockets easily eliminated the Timberwolves on the road, taking another step towards their playoff goal.

After repairing the Timberwolves, the Rockets returned to their home court for their first game in April, facing the Golden State Warriors, the Rockets did not relent, and eight players scored double-doubles in the game, and the Warriors could only look at the huge score and be sad.

122:95 The Rockets are off to a good start for their April game on their home court.

However, the next Rockets started 3 consecutive away games, and the Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, and SuperSonics were not so easy to deal with.

In the game against the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' interior combination caused the Rockets a lot of trouble, Brand, Ocella? Harrington, Abdul? Raheem, the interior of these three people, has put a lot of pressure on the Rockets, and if it weren't for the Grizzlies' weak outside game now, they could have fought for a top-eight spot for themselves in the West where the strong teams gathered.

It seems that next season, the Grizzlies will focus on solving their backcourt problems, and as long as they solve this problem, then the Grizzlies will definitely shock everyone.

The Rockets have a hard-fought win over the Grizzlies on the road, and the best of them is Bodi Loga, who has been in extremely good form recently, and he definitely wants to give himself a championship ring before he leaves.

In the face of the Grizzlies' stubborn resistance, Bodiloga was alone on the outside of the Grizzlies, shouldering all the responsibility of offense, assisting, passing, breaking through and scoring, and connecting the team's offense.

He used his own performance to completely conquer the Grizzlies, with 35 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds, making Bodi Loga shine all over the court.

108:101With Bodi Loga's excellent play, the Rockets walked away with a victory.

After defeating the Grizzlies, the Rockets visited Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers.

Before the game, the media all over the United States were comparing the records of the Rockets, Lakers, and Trail Blazers, because everyone knew that no matter which of these three teams could make it to the Finals, no team in the East would be their opponent.

The Trail Blazers, led by McDonleavy, are already on their way to their first championship dream.

Before the start of the game, Rashid? Wallace walked over to Garnett's side and said with a smile, "Hey, Kevin, were you all unlucky when you played against the Grizzlies?" It was not easy to be cleaned up by Brand. ”

Garnett said self-deprecatingly: "Yes, especially Brand's kid, as if he has a grudge against the rockets, he explodes when he touches the rockets, and he explodes when he touches the rockets, and he is annoyed to death, although he is just a rookie, but Raheem and Harrington behind him are not so easy to deal with, if they have 2-3 powerful backcourt players, whoever sees them in the whole league will have a big head." ”

Looking at Garnett, who has a big head, Rashid? Wallace burst out laughing, he hadn't seen Garnett bother anyone like this, it was very rare.

Looking at hilarious Rashid? Wallace, Garnett said sarcastically: "Rashid, don't talk about us, I'm sure you're going to die a miserable death next season when you meet the Grizzlies." ”

Seeing Garnett a little impatient, Rashid? Wallace didn't say anything, laughed a few words and went back to his side, Rashid? Wallace walked up to the elder Dunleavy and whispered, "Coach, when these kids came on the court against the Grizzlies, they had a tough time. However, it was not bad today, and I didn't see any of them in the team. ”

Dunleavy Sr. nodded, didn't say anything, just let his players continue to prepare for the game that was about to start.

The game between the two sides began with the referee's whistle, and when the game began, the Rockets really began to come under pressure from the Trail Blazers.

The whole team with Pippen and Rashid? Wallace as the core, Sabonis in the high position, plus Reuben ? Patterson and Mike? Bibby and the two are cruising on the outside.

The Trail Blazers actually began to comprehensively suppress the Rockets on the court, which everyone didn't expect, Reuben? Patterson specializes in defending Bodi Loga, with a body of tendons and fierce small movements, which makes Bodi Loga very hungry and uncomfortable.

Mike? Bibi against Ray? Allen, although there is a lot of difference in height and speed, Dunleavy only needs to let Bibby limit Ray? Allen, and in the whole league can completely suppress Ray? There really aren't many of Aaron's, and Bibi really isn't one of them.

After the game with the Trail Blazers, Lao Tang looked very anxious, looking at the performance of the Trail Blazers players on the court, he knew that the biggest opponent in this year's playoffs was the Trail Blazers, because there was really no team in the league that could suppress the Rockets like this.

By the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had already led the Trail Blazers by 7 points, and at the break, Old Tang asked the players, "What do you think of this Trail Blazers now?" ”

The players were a little silent, and Garnett said when he saw this: "They are very strong, it has been a long time since they have met a team that can suppress the Rockets on the court." ”

The other players of the Rockets, listening to Garnett's words, all nodded involuntarily.

Everyone feels it, it's been a long time since I've met a team that can suppress the Rockets on the field, and listen to Ray when you think of it? Aaron asked Lao Tang, "Coach, do we have any way to bring the scene back?" ”

Lao Tang smiled and said loudly: "Guys, you must know that basketball is a competitive sport full of variables, and what we can do is to grasp the pulse of the game and decide the final outcome of the game. That's basically impossible, especially when playing against a team that is not about the same strength as you, no one can grasp the final victory, and you have to rely on yourselves now. ”

After speaking, he looked at his team members with blazing eyes.

At this time, the Rockets players have also slowly stabilized.

Then Lao Tang continued: "Guys, I won't give you too specific guidance in this game, you can only rely on your own instincts and your basketball wisdom, I want to see your real combat effectiveness." ”

Seeing this situation, Garnett let out a tiger roar and roared loudly: "Okay, guys, let's show our strength." Let the Blazers' stinky boys know we're awesome. ”

And the game after that is even more exciting and good-looking, the Rockets can often play some magic strokes, the tacit understanding of the Rocket players has reached a peak, and they have been running in together for a full 4 years, and they have burst out in the most brilliant colors in this game.

The Trail Blazers are playing harder, and now only the Trail Blazers in the league can compete with the Rockets in bench depth, and see who they are sitting off the court, Kevin? Cato, Jermaine? O'Neill, Rassad? Lewis, Damon? Some strong players such as Stoudmayer.

The battle between the two teams like Mars hitting the earth made the fans of the Trail Blazers addicted to watching.

However, when the game ended, it made them even happier, because the Trail Blazers actually won the final victory.

With Rassad? Lewis hit a mid-range shot with 5.3 seconds left in the final game, and the Trail Blazers scored a one-point shot to beat the Rockets.

However, although the Rockets lost the game, they also showed too much frustration, and the Rockets players themselves knew that this was a test for their head coach, and although they lost the game, they won the test.

They saw that although Lao Tang had lost, he had been smiling all the time.

At this time, Lao Tang secretly thought in his heart: I hope that after losing this game, the Trail Blazers can be more careless in the playoffs, and when they really face the Rockets, they can be less patient. The Trail Blazers will be even more difficult to deal with next season, and looking at their off-court players, the owner can really find trouble on his own.

And what Lao Tang didn't know was that Paul, who was watching the game on the spot? Alan almost cried, wondering why he hadn't played with that Houston bastard before the game and had to take it back.

At this time, Tiger, who was far away in Houston, lit a cigar, sat in his chair leisurely, and thought to himself: Fortunately, Lao Tzu turned off his mobile phone or something, if Paul's bastard is looking for me, Lao Tzu will lose something and be unlucky.

Tiger is constantly rejoicing in his wisdom, but Paul is scolding himself for being stupid, but what they don't know is that even if he looks for Tiger, he can't find it. That money junkie, Tiger, wouldn't let anything go into his mouth spit out.

And the Rockets, who lost the game, flew straight to Seattle after a night's rest to challenge the supersonics.

The Rockets, who lost a little depressed, began to spill gas with supersound, and Payton faced Ray? Allen's defense is no longer able to face the powerful Rockets.

And the text? Baker was bullied to death by Garnett, and the whole game could only be sleepwalking.

When the game ended, the SuperSonics could only watch the huge score helplessly watch the Rockets players leave.

115:88 The Rockets let the SuperSonics know what the strongest team is.

The Rockets, who ended their road trip, returned to Houston.

With only six games left until the end of the regular season, the playoffs are already beckoning.

The 67-9 Rockets are even more proud of the league.

The playoffs are nothing to them anymore.

On April 10th, the Rockets played against the Jazz at home, and the aging Jazz was obviously not the opponent of the Rockets, and at 110:99, the Rockets once again trampled the Jazz under their feet.

And what the Rockets players don't know is, the Jazz's Shandon? Anderson has been spotted by the Grizzlies, and after the end of this season, Anderson will join the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies' fangs have been assembled, and next season's Grizzlies will really be the team that builds the big one.

On April 12, the Rockets challenged Denver away, and Denver, which has good players and no good coaches, is not an opponent for the Rockets.

108:95 Rockets are moving forward firmly.

After beating Denver, the Rockets returned to their home court to face the Mavericks.

On April 14, the Rockets, who returned to their home court, welcomed the Mavericks, and said to Da Yao in a very low manner before the game began: "Man, hello, you have a chance to win the championship when you just join the NBA, but I still wait, hey." ”

Da Yao smiled and comforted and said, "Okay, brother, don't chatter, there will be opportunities in the future, you are still young, why are you in a hurry." ”

After listening to Da Yao's comfort, his nose was probably crooked, and he raised his hand and pointed at Da Yao and said: "You kid has to be scared, when you return to China, I will shake off the little flower intestines in your kid's heart, and you will wait for bad luck here." ”

Da Yao extinguished the fire when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Brother, is there something to discuss?" This brother is still in the preparatory period, if you really shake it out, the little girl has a small face, and she can't think about it. Your brother's thoughts have been in vain. ”

"Then you can't get stuck." Roughly looked at Da Yao very proudly.

"Then what can I do, when I return to China, let's go to the restaurant, you say that's it." Da Yao continued to laugh, shaking his head and tail no different from the high commander in the tunnel battle.

Roughly said proudly: "This is what you said, then don't blame the brother for the knife, hehe." ”

"Didn't say it, didn't say it." Da Yao shook his head and shook his tail, but Da Yao was dripping blood in his heart, I don't know where this kid is going to choose, hey, no way, who made us cheap, when I was in the national team, I was in a room with this kid, and when I was sleeping, I didn't have a door on my mouth, so I said it all.

Looking at Da Yao, he looked very proud.

But when the game started, I roughly regretted it, why did I stimulate this kid, a big man of 2.26 meters is quite terrible once he goes away.

Today's unlucky one is Bradley, who was completely blown up by Da Yao, who came off the bench and scored 26 points and 12 rebounds in the 28 points he played.

And the other players of the Rockets also looked at the fierce Da Yao with a surprised face, and Garnett whispered off the court: "Good girl, I don't know yet, how fierce Da Yao can still play, such a kind person, what is the stimulus today, is it out of love." ”

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

But Mark on the side? Jackson held his chin with his hand and pretended to be deep: "I think it's very likely, I guess this kid is too pure, I even suspect that this kid is a virgin, a 20-year-old virgin, I really didn't expect it." ”

Garnett whispered with a silver face, "Still a virgin?" Hehe, let's see if you're looking for a chance to let our little brother Chengren. ”

After finishing speaking, there was a burst of silver laughter.

Just when the rocket people whispered about how to make Da Yao Chengren, Olajuwang really couldn't stand it, and said beside them: "You bastards, what kind of planes, I can tell you, Da Yao is Chinese, people's thinking and culture are different from the United States, don't put your set of ideas on Da Yao, if something happens, see how the boss cleans you up." ”

After listening to the laughter, everyone in the rocket didn't seem to pay attention to it. But everyone is mentioning this matter, and everyone is not stupid, knowing how powerful this kind of thing is, if this is really to make some peach incident for Da Yao. It is estimated that their boss will go straight to let them know why the flowers are so red.

After thinking of this, the hearts of the Rockets players were cold for a while, if there was no reminder from Olajuwon, maybe they would be really unlucky.

The Rockets defeated the Mavericks on their home court, with Da Yao scoring a team-high 26 points and roughly the Mavericks' highest 21 points.

115:104 The Rockets beat the Mavericks at home, but the Chinese media were the happiest after the game, because they had more topics to talk about because of the excellent play of the two Chinese players.

However, the most are such topics as China's Twin Stars Shining Sky Arena and so on.

After the game, he said to Da Yao viciously: "After returning to China, at least three big meals, otherwise you kid will be waiting for bad luck." ”

Da Yao looked at the vicious roughly, and said very aggrievedly: "Isn't it just a meal?" How will this be a three-meal meal? ”

Roughly didn't explain, but still said fiercely: "If I say three meals, I will do three, if I am talking, it will become five meals in a while." ”

"Okay, listen to you, who let us handle it again." Da Yao had sadness in his eyes, and some pear blossoms stood aside with rain.

However, Da Yao's expression completely thundered the Rocket's players, and everyone couldn't help but start laughing.

After the Rockets repaired the Mavericks on their home court, they once again welcomed the Seattle SuperSonics. Baker can only endure the torture of the Rockets again, because they are really not the opponents of the Rockets.

When the game was over, the SuperSonics could only watch the Rockets celebrate the victory on their home court.

110:95Rockets triumph again on their own.

Time flies, and the Rockets have their final two games to end their regular season in the 99-00 season.

On April 19, he played the Suns away, and on April 20, he played the Grizzlies at home.

The Rockets are very hopeful of starting the season with a win.

However, the game is so unpredictable, and when the Rockets challenged the Suns away on April 19, the Rockets played very well.

The whole team completely suppressed the Suns' multi-point offense, and the incomparably strong overall defense made the Suns' offense completely hit the wall, even a combination like Hardaway and Kidd couldn't stop the Rockets.

107:96Rockets continue their victory.

There is an accident, the Rockets met the Grizzlies who hated the Rockets in the last game, and they had a chance today, because today the Rockets played all the resistance and sat off the court, and the last playoff game no longer needs the main players to play hard, they can take a break and prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

However, Brand, who was already a little crazy, still began to break out, facing the substitute Mark Jr. in the whole game? Jackson, who scored 29 points, finally led the Grizzlies to victory over the Rockets.

The Rockets players who watched Brand roaring on the sidelines were a little inexplicable, and everyone was wondering, is this kid sick, winning the Rockets who are all substitutes, and only winning by 2 points, as for this.

But who knows Brand's inner distress, the Grizzlies finally beat the Rockets once.

The Grizzlies won, 92-90, but such a victory did not stop the Rockets from going 72-10 to become the king of the league again.

At this point, the regular season of the Rockets 99-00 season is over, and they have ushered in a magnificent playoffs.
