The April sun is shining over Houston and is a little warm.

The sunlight shines through the bright windows and shines on the bright floor of the room, which is so dazzling.

After feeling the stimulation brought by the sun, Lei Lin, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes slightly, but then reached out to cover his eyes.

"Shhh...... Wine is not a good thing, you can't drink it! Uncle's! ”

While rubbing his head, Leylin looked around for a moment and muttered.

After opening his eyes and getting used to the harsh sunlight, Lei Lin got up from the bed, but his head was drowsy, and there were occasional bouts of pain, which was the sequelae of drunkenness.

But thinking about last night's big win and the last party at Drake's Bar, Raylin's thoughts didn't matter if he had a headache now.

Yesterday's game, in the second half of the Rockets was firmly in control of the rhythm of the game, only after half a quarter the Rockets occupied an absolute advantage, the playoff hopeless Clippers immediately gave up the game, the Rockets also took this opportunity to practice for the playoffs, substitutes, and finally at the end of the game, the Rockets 105-75 successfully scuttled the Clippers.

Leylin scored 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 blocks in this game, and performed well.

And yesterday was also the last game day of the regular season, after all the games.

The Rockets finally achieved 57 wins and 25 losses in the regular season, the same record as the Lakers, but because in the three regular season games with the Lakers, the Rockets won two wins and one loss, and the record was superior, so the Rockets beat the Lakers and ranked first in the West.

The Hornets lost to the Mavericks in yesterday's game, so they ended up with the same record as the Spurs at 56-26, while the Hornets and Spurs were tied with two wins and two losses in the regular season, but the Hornets had a higher win rate against opponents in the same division, so the Hornets were in third place.

Under the new ranking rules, three division winners plus a best-time runner-up finish are in the top four, so the Spurs are only in fifth place, similar to the Mavericks two years ago.

The bottom four are ranked by record, so it's clear how the top eight in the West will play in the playoffs.

The Rockets in the West are against the Nuggets with the golden guns, the Lakers are against the Nowitzki-led Mavericks, the Hornets are against the Suns, and the Spurs are against the Jazz.

The top eight in the East are the Celtics, Pistons, Magic, Cavaliers, Wizards, Raptors, 76ers, and Hawks.

After a two-day break, it's up to a string of exciting playoff games as they battle for the highest honor, the O'Brien Cup.

After washing up and feeling that his headache was a little better, after Leylin got dressed, he left the house directly, and after eating a little breakfast in the restaurant, he drove directly to the Toyota Center.

The first place in the West is certainly a cause for celebration, but Adelman did not give the team a holiday because of this. Because after two days of rest, there will be a first-round playoff opponent, the Nuggets. In the regular season, the Rockets did not have an advantage, let alone the upcoming playoffs, which are completely different things, so there is not much time for the Rockets to waste, and after all the players are gathered, the training begins.

First, the players went through some of their own training sessions with their assistant coaches.

After this warm-up session, it was already more than an hour later, and then it was time for targeted shooting drills.

By the time this training session was over, the whole morning had passed.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, Leylin followed his teammates to the conference room.

"The regular season and the playoffs are two different battles, and I'm sure you've heard of them all before! Therefore, we should not underestimate any opponent, there is a saying in China. Know yourself and know your opponent in a hundred battles! So now let's get to know the Nuggets first! ”

With that, Adelman directly opened the video of the Nuggets game this season.

While watching the video, Adelman explained there and there.

George Carr is an offensive maniac, so offense has always been more important in his basketball world.

There's a popular saying in the league that offense wins games, defense wins championships.

So if you want to go further in the playoffs, you can't just rely on offense, in addition to offense, you also have to have a tight defense.

So the first thing Adelman did was analyze how to limit the Nuggets' offense, especially their quick counter-attack. The Nuggets with Iverson are really unguardable when they fight back.

"So, rebounds, you have to protect them."

As he said this, Adelman looked directly at Leylin.

"Ray, in this series, you're going to have a lot of work, and in addition to being involved on the offensive end, on the defensive end, you're going to have to compete with that Marcus guy for rebounds."

"No problem!"

The experience of more than 20 games in the regular season has allowed Leylin to accumulate a lot of confidence, so after hearing Adelman's words, Leylin shouted loudly.

This kind of video analysis was about two hours later, and then the players had some tactical joint practice in the training hall, and the day's training was over.

The training lasted two days, and after the next day's training, Leylin washed up in the locker room and drove straight away from the Toyota Center.

……

"How's the work?"

After leaving the Toyota Center, Lei Lin went directly to pick up Qin Dongmei, and after receiving Qin Dongmei, the two went directly to a nearby restaurant.

"Not bad!"

After Qin Dongmei took a sip of her drink, she said happily.

After so many years of stress, now I can finally release it.

After finishing speaking, Qin Dongmei noticed that Lei Lin's eyes were looking at her there.

"Ahem, what about you? It's tomorrow night, how are you preparing? ”

Listening to Qin Dongmei's cough, Lei Lin realized that he seemed to be a little rude, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and Lei Lin shook his fist vigorously.

"Of course, I'll let them know I'm good tomorrow night."

"Really? Then I'll be going to cheer you on tomorrow night! ”

"Really?"

Lei Lin couldn't believe his ears, he didn't expect Qin Dongmei to take the initiative to watch the game. Excited, Lei Lin directly reached out and grabbed Qin Dongmei's hand.

"Forehead ......"

After being stunned for a moment, seeing that Qin Dongmei did not object, Lei Lin smiled, but then let go of Qin Dongmei's hand.

Looking at Qin Dongmei's face, which seemed to have turned red because of shyness, Lei Lin knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to confess.

So after letting go of Qin Dongmei's hand, Lei Lin quickly grabbed Qin Dongmei's hand again.

"I like you! I want to be with you! Be my girlfriend! ”

The sudden confession made Qin Dongmei's face even redder, looking like a red rose, delicate.

"I ......"

After opening her mouth slightly, Qin Dongmei didn't know what to say, but she still quickly pulled out her hand, and then quickly left the restaurant with her bag, leaving Lei Lin alone in a daze.

"What does this mean? Did you refuse? ”

After muttering, Lei Lin secretly blamed himself.

Looking at the dinner brought by the waiter, the tasteless Lei Lin didn't move, and left here directly.

……

After two nights of silence, the Toyota Center became noisy again.

The Rockets and Nuggets players are in the arena for their final pregame warm-up.

Under the basket, Lei Lin is training against Uncle Mu.

After turning around, before he could make a shot, the basketball was directly shot by Uncle Mu.

"Hey, Ray, you're not going to deal with that guy like this, are you?"

Uncle Mu obviously felt the change in Lei Lin.

"Oh!"

After answering, Lei Lin's eyes searched the stands again, and the whole person seemed a little absent-minded.

Until the end of the warm-up, Leylin didn't see the figure he wanted to see.

Not long after the warm-up, the game began.

After the referee's whistle, the basketball flew straight into the air.

Before Leylin could react, Camby leaped lightly and gave the racket to his teammate.

"Oh, our Ray, it doesn't look normal!"

For Leylin's jumping performance, everyone frowned slightly.

Those who are familiar with Lei Lin know that in the jump ball link, he rarely loses to others.

"What the hell is wrong with this guy?"

Adelman looked at Leylin with confusion.

The first game of the playoffs began with the cheers of the audience!
