Chapter 248 I'm Actually Not a Rockets Fan

Chapter 242

When the Knicks arrived in Houston, it was already noon.

After the generals had lunch, they went to the arena for training. For this game, Lei Feng was bound to win. The teammates knew this and supported Lei Feng very much. They all showed up in the arena for training.

Lei Feng is a person who adheres to the principle of equivalent exchange. In his opinion, since he wants to get a bigger contract than James Harden, he must perform better than Harden. persuasive!

If the Knicks he led lost to the Rockets in this game, and his own data was blown out by Harden, then it is estimated that it will be difficult for Lei Feng to get a contract that surpasses Harden...

Even if someone offered it, Lei Feng probably wouldn't be too embarrassed to ask for it...

……

At [-] o'clock in the evening, players from both sides began to enter the arena. The Rockets' market is not that big. After the game started, there were still many empty seats on the field...

And the chances of Rockets fans watching the third quarter run should be considered the highest in the league. It is often seen that when the Rockets play in the fourth quarter, the scene is already empty...

Lei Feng didn't care about these trivial matters, and directly observed the Rockets' lineup.

The core of the team is naturally James Harden. Besides Harden, the biggest star in the team must be Howard...

But what is more embarrassing is that after Howard joined the Rockets, his tactical status in the team has become more and more marginalized...

In the first season of joining the Rockets, Howard averaged 11 shots per game, which is basically the average level of Howard's career...

It's unbelievable. Howard, who can replace James alone at the peak, actually averages about a dozen shots per game.

After spending the honeymoon period of the first season, Howard's miserable days came...

Howard dropped to ten shots per game in his second season...

Now that he has played almost 20 games this season, Howard is even more bleak, averaging only eight shots per game!

This number of shots is ranked fifth in the Rockets, and if you include Beasley who joined later, it will rank sixth...

In fact, the number of shots taken by Howard is decreasing day by day, which can be regarded as conforming to the development trend of the NBA era, but how can Howard accept this gap, you must know that the average number of shots per game in his rookie season is more than that much...

Howard's temperament is a bit unreliable, and he is even more unreliable after being messed up by the Rockets. He has a lot of conflicts with the team, and his position in the team is even more marginal...

Affected by this, the Rockets were still second in the Western Conference last season. This season's record has directly declined very seriously, and they have fallen to the eighth position in the Western Conference.

……

Although the Rockets look miserable now, like a soft persimmon, Lei Feng doesn't dare to be careless. He knows how terrible a team like the Rockets will be once they explode.

"Ray, don't worry, we have a natural advantage against the Rockets, so don't worry, we can't lose!" Fisher couldn't help but comfort him when he saw Lei Feng staring closely at the Rockets' lineup.

"Natural advantages?! Coach, what do you mean?" Lei Feng asked a little puzzled.

"You will know when this game starts, enjoy the game, play your own style as much as possible, and must get a triple-double data of at least 30+, you have to know, whether it is fans or those manufacturers like it An all-around fighter player!" Fisher warned Lei Feng as someone who had experienced it.

Lei Feng nodded. Fisher's words were not wrong at all. All-round fighter players are indeed more popular.

At the whistle of the referee, the game started,
Lei Feng played against the Rockets last season, but that time because the Knicks lineup was really bad, and Lei Feng was not strong at that time, so in the end the Knicks he led were beaten by the Rockets quite miserable, basically It belongs to the level of being pressed and rubbed on the ground!

But in today's game, Lei Feng is full of confidence. Even without Anthony, Lei Feng still has strong confidence that he can beat the Rockets!
"Brothers, come on!" Lei Feng shouted loudly, leading the starting lineup to the stage!

It is worth mentioning that Chandler Parsons finally got the chance to start again in today's game. In terms of strength, he must still be much stronger than Sanaris.

In the game against the Cavaliers, Parsons basically didn't get much chance to play, and later he played against the Philadelphia 76ers and the Phoenix Suns. Although Fisher didn't say it clearly, what he meant seemed to be to hide Parsons. Also did not give Parsons any chance to play!
This made Parsons very anxious, and he apologized to Rondo solemnly, and then asked Lei Feng and Fisher to sincerely admit his mistake, which saved his chance to play in the Knicks...

Naturally, Fisher didn't deliberately make it difficult for Parsons. In any case, the team spent a lot of money to introduce Parsons. It would be a waste if he was kept on the bench. Make good use of his value.

"Parsons, I don't need to say more? Today's game is of great significance to Lei Feng. We don't care about what happened last time, but if you dare to act recklessly this time, I will definitely not Let you go!" Rondo walked to Parsons' side and said to Parsons with a serious face.

Parsons has black lines all over his face, why is his life so hard...

Rondo's meaning is obvious, that is to let Parsons take as few shots as possible and give up the ball to Lei Feng...

"Understood, Rajon, I know what to do, don't worry..." Parsons squeezed out a smile and said to Rondo.

Rondo nodded without saying anything.

……

Players from both sides started to play.

What Lei Feng didn't expect was that James Harden stepped forward and gave Lei Feng a hug...

"RAY, Yao and I are very good friends, and I believe we can become good friends too!" Harden smiled.

Lei Feng was taken aback, Harden and Yao Ming are good friends? !Is there such a thing?How come I never knew...

Seeing that Lei Feng was a little dazed, Harden continued to smile and said, "I know the Rockets have a high status in China. Dude, you were probably a Rockets fan when you were in China, right?"

Lei Feng continued to be dazed. If he was a die-hard Rockets fan, Lei Feng was not considered a fan, but he often watched Rockets games.

"Haha, I saw that you are a Rockets fan. Great, buddy, are you interested in coming to Houston? Together, we will definitely make a difference!" Harden actually reached out to Lei Feng at this moment olive branch...

"And, let me tell you in secret, it seems that my owner, Adidas, is very interested in you. They are currently discussing how to offer an offer. After all, there are already news that Nike has contacted you!" Harden whispered to Ray said the wind.

This news shocked Lei Feng enough...

It seems that my second uncle really has a vision. He said that other sports brands will contact him in the near future. As he said, Adidas has also started to act!

"Are you sure?!" Lei Feng asked.

"I'm sure, why am I lying to you about this? How about it? We are destined to be together, and we are all players under the name of Adidas. Why don't we join forces to create a sensational cause!" Harden A little excited...

"Uh, fate is really destined, ahem, but I'm not a Rockets fan..." Lei Feng smiled awkwardly...

If you join the Rockets, in fact, it is not a bad idea for Lei Feng. After all, he and James Harden do not overlap. Si's plan...

Unless the Knicks don't want him anymore and are going to drive him away, then Lei Feng might consider the Rockets...

However, judging from the current situation, this possibility is infinitely close to zero...

……

"Look, Harden is next to Lei Feng, and seems to be talking about something. It seems that the relationship between the two is good?" Director Zhang said with a smile in the commentary.

"Could it be that Harden is wooing Lei Feng? Thinking about it, there is really such a possibility. Last season, the Rockets reached the Western Conference finals. If they have Lei Feng, they may really be able to pass the Warriors' level!"

"Oh, it's really interesting to see it like this, Lei Feng, if possible, it would be great to join the Rockets!"

The Rockets are almost considered the home team in China, if Lei Feng can join the Rockets, it will definitely be a good story...

……

When Harden heard Lei Feng's words, he immediately had a bitter face. Lei Feng's meaning was obvious enough, he was no longer a Rockets fan, and even joined a Mao Rocket...

"Okay, then you should think about it carefully, buddy, joining the Rockets is really good!" Harden didn't give up, and finally persuaded him...

Lei Feng waved his hand, not a badass, if he was treated like Howard, he would probably be useless...

If an outside player like Lei Feng only has ten or eight calls per game, he must be completely screwed, and the statistics will definitely be ugly...

You must know that in Yi Jianlian's peak season, when he was in the Nets, he averaged 11 shots per game...

……

"Beep beep beep!" The referee blew his whistle, signaling the jumpers of both sides to walk to the midfield line.

Originally, Lei Feng thought that Gobert had a much stronger height and wingspan than Howard, and could beat Howard, but it turned out that Howard won. Although Howard is not young now, his explosive power is still leveraged. Gobert has to be stronger.

The Rockets won the first offensive round, and Lei Feng directly faced James Harden without saying a word!

Originally, Lei Feng was very confident in facing James Harden. First of all, he asked himself that his physical fitness was not much worse than that of Harden. Coupled with the advantages of strength, height and wingspan, it is not too difficult to defend Harden. ...

But after the first round of defense, Lei Feng realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.

I saw Harden's first attacking round, directly riding a horse and shooting an arrow, the whole person almost lay on Lei Feng's body to shoot...

Naturally, the referee immediately called Lei Feng's defensive foul!
At the beginning of the game, Harden directly got two free throw opportunities, and made both free throws, which made Lei Feng's face green...

After making two free throws, Lei Feng didn't care too much about it. What he really cared about was the foul he was bearing...

In the first ten seconds of the game, he was charged with a foul. Lei Feng knew that he had to be extremely careful in this game, otherwise, he might be sent off by Harden for fouling after halftime...

……

The possession of the ball was switched, and when it was the Knicks' offensive round, Lei Feng received the pass from Rondo's side, and then began to observe the situation on the court, preparing to look for offensive opportunities.

The Rockets currently have five players on the field...

The two insiders are Howard and Capela. Although Capela is Howard's substitute, at least half of the first [-] games this season have been played as starters. This newcomer attaches great importance to the insider.

Needless to say, the defensive skills of these two are very good.

The remaining three starters are Ariza, Mad Dog Beverly and Harden...

Needless to say Beverley and Ariza's defense...

It means that the Rockets only have Harden as a defensive scum...

Lei Feng understood why Harden didn't defend much anymore. His four starting teammates were all top defensive players in the league. Why did he work so hard?Perhaps the head coach of the Rockets specifically told Harden not to spend so much energy on defense, but to focus on the offensive end...

Come to think of it, it's not impossible...

Lei Feng was speechless, if he had such four teammates with strong defense, then he might not be too desperate on the offensive end...

Regardless of yo, after thinking about it, my teammates seem to be not much worse than the Rockets in terms of defensive strength...

Chandler Parsons may have almost meant it, the defense of Rondo, Porzingis and Gobert is really strong!

Rondo is considered to be a relatively well-known defensive gate in the position of the point guard in the league. Many top point guards have been humiliated under Rondo's defense, including Curry, the hottest point guard in the league...

As Gobert is the inside gate, defense is one of the guys he eats.

As for Porzingis, looking at his rookie class, he can even be said to be better than Towns in terms of defense. At least in the performance and block data of these [-] games, Porzingis is better than the No. [-] pick. Downs!
Looking at it this way, the Knicks' defensive strength is actually not weaker than the Rockets, and even slightly stronger. After all, there is a Harden who is so slow...

……

Lei Feng's heart tossed, and after observing for a while, he found that the only way to choose was to hit Harden with his back...

In terms of shooting, Lei Feng is not sure. Although Lei Feng is also preparing to activate the 12-second God skill in this game, it is obviously not the best time to activate the skill at the beginning of the game.

PS: There are a lot of things in the past two days, I am done with work today, and I will start to restore Wanchang tomorrow!
