Chapter 138: Houston
"It's all back, it's all back!"
"The Lakers beat the Pelicans at home to end a three-game losing streak!"
"The Lakers are back in the top eight in the West, and the next game against the Rockets will be a key game!"
On the night of the 8th, after the game between the Lakers and the Pelicans.
All sorts of rhetoric touting the Lakers on the forum is back.
The turn-based NBA lives up to its name.
Of course, in general, neither the blowing nor the black are a wave of people.
They will take turns depending on the team's wins and losses.
The favorite team wins.
Or the team you don't like loses.
Bubble forum posts and likes.
The favorite team loses,
Or the team you don't like wins.
As soon as the computer and mobile phone are turned off, what should I do?
Don't read posts, don't reply to posts, or even watch the news.
In short, as soon as you close your eyes and shrink your neck, you are waiting for your turn to come.
For Lakers fans.
Three consecutive defeats are painful.
Falling out of the playoffs for a while is also painful.
Although the win over the Pelicans was only a temporary return to the playoff ranks.
I can have a happy day.
Wang Shuang played even better in this game.
He finished with 17 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists.
Among them, 8 rebounds were grabbed in the frontcourt.
More than rebounds in the backcourt.
This is bullying the Pelicans Anthony Davis is not there.
Wang Shuang did whatever he wanted on the inside line of New Orleans.
On the night he won the game against the Pelicans.
Wang Shuang got on the bus and prepared to transfer to the airport.
He received a text message from Jessica Chen.
"Tonight was outstanding, I watched the game live at home and you were fantastic. Missed you so much. ”
Wang Shuang saw this text message.
The body, which was still a little tired, was suddenly full of vitality again.
I can't wait to play two more overtime games.
Wang Shuang held his mobile phone and replied to Miss Chen's message.
Since that night, Wang Shuang confessed in a tactful way.
The two spent a passionate evening.
But the scandal was confirmed.
Jessica Chan showed what NBA-level physicality looks like.
And Jessica Chen also made Wang Shuang feel the charm of a mature woman.
This is simply thunder.
The two of them kept their eyes open from dinner until breakfast the next day.
Thankfully, there was no game that night.
Otherwise, Wang Shuang will definitely pull his hips.
And Wang Shuang is young after all.
After a day's rest, he was resurrected on the spot.
Came to New Orleans to score a triple-double.
The Lakers ended a three-game losing streak.
On the way to the airport, the two did not stop for a moment in their short messages.
Until you get on the plane and turn off your phone.
"The plane is about to take off, I'll contact you when we get to Houston."
After sending this message, Wang Shuang turned off his mobile phone.
The Lakers' next destination, Houston.
Tomorrow night's game against the Rockets will be a crucial battle to make the playoffs.
The outcome of both teams will directly determine the eighth place in the playoffs.
The loud roar of the planes drowned everything out.
Airplanes take to the skies from New Orleans to Houston.
The journey is not far, it can be reached in just over an hour.
The team members took a nap on the plane to regain their strength.
They arrived at their destination in the early hours of the morning.
Then I took the shuttle bus to the hotel where I was staying.
Wang Shuang is back here.
This was a place that used to feel dear to him.
This is his first stop in the NBA.
He thought he was going to stay here for a long time.
It's a pity that he thinks too much.
The Rockets signed him purely because of his nationality – >>

Complexion.
The team didn't want to develop him at all.
After realizing that you can't squeeze too much value.
Wang Shuang was hurriedly laid off.
His short journey in the NBA came to an end.
This short journey was not pleasant.
None of what General Manager Morey promised came true.
He got a lot of eyes on the team.
I didn't miss carrying bags for other people.
The management, the coaching staff knew he was a passerby from start to finish.
Even the ordinary staff of the training hall didn't look at him squarely.
So back to Houston.
Wang Shuang was still quite unhappy in his heart.
In comparison, he didn't have much of a chance at the beginning with the Lakers.
But the atmosphere within the Lakers is much friendlier to the periphery.
Not to mention that Wang Shuang is playing now.
The next day, the Lakers had a simple workout as a team.
Bryant didn't participate.
Because of his knee and shoulder injuries, there were some repetitions.
The coaching staff is considering whether to rest Kobe Bryant for tomorrow night's game against the Rockets.
Bryant, of course, is not willing to rest.
At such a critical juncture.
Bryant didn't want to be absent.
Wang Shuang joked on the side.
"Kobe, you better rest, I think your rest is the biggest help to the team."
Bryant glared at Wang Shuang.
Now Wang Shuang is getting bigger and smaller.
All kinds of jokes about Kobe.
Bryant certainly won't rest.
On the contrary, Wang Shuang's words stimulated Kobe.
The next day was close to the game, when it was time to warm up on the field.
Kobe Bryant said to Wang Shuang: "Hey, Wang, should we have a game tonight?" ”
Wang Shuangdao: "Competition? We're not playing, we're teammates. ”
"I know, but we can still score more than one," Bryant said. ”
Wang Shuangdao: "Higher than scores? Why don't we have more assists than anyone? ”
Kobe Bryant said: "Because basketball is a game of scoring. ”
There is a lot of truth in that.
saw Kobe Bryant's eyes full of fighting spirit.
Wang Shuang thought to himself: "It's better to compare with the old Kobe." I was originally going to compete with the boss of the department, so I should challenge the boss. ”
So, Wang Shuang said: "OK, then let's fight, who has more points tonight." ”
The two of them began to score in private.
Looking at it like this, it's a bit of a lack of attention to rockets.
This is strategic contempt and tactical emphasis.
At the Toyota Center in Houston.
Kobe Bryant's performance was never false.
Of course, this game has also attracted a lot of attention.
Although because of the time of the game.
The time for live broadcast in China is early in the morning.
But there are still a lot of fans who don't sleep.
Or set an alarm clock and get up in the middle of the night to watch the Battle of the Lake of Fire.
CCTV also broadcast the game live.
"Tonight's game should be the highlight. The playoff spots for the Lakers and Rockets were decided, so they will definitely go shopping. ”
CCTV's commentator is Yang Jian.
"This game will be Kobe's last visit to Houston and the last matchup between Kobe and Harden. Because no matter who makes the playoffs, there's a high probability that the other won't get in. Bryant won't be on the court again next season. The race is on..."
Players from both sides stand in the center circle.
Hibbert and Howard jump ball.
This is, Wang Shuang's ears clinked.
The font of the system appeared in front of me.
Wang Shuang thought to himself: "System, you finally think of me again!" ”
