Chapter 338 Two consecutive victories at home

Huchi~
Huchi~
Severe panting sounds kept coming from the mouths of the players on both sides.

They were already sweating profusely, but no one dared to relax.

Especially the Lakers, although they have tactics and experience, but their age and state are their shortcomings.

The Rockets are stunned at first glance, but under the leadership of a beast, although they will make mistakes, youth is the capital!
a time.

As the two sides entered the last minute and a half, the Rockets, relying on their activeness and youthful advantages, always suppressed the Lakers' counterattack with a six-point difference.

In the last 40 seconds, McHale called a timeout first.

After returning to the field, he replaced Asik, Qin Tao moved to the center position, Motel topped the power forward, Harden and Parsons were still there, and Beverly obviously had a trusted lineup arrangement.

It can be seen from McHale's substitutions that the Lakers will definitely take fouls against them.

With such a change now, there will be no shortcomings in the lineup. As long as they start fouling, all five members of the Rockets will have a [-]% shooting percentage.

For D'Antoni and Nash, the main force, this is really the right medicine, which makes them really uncomfortable.

But the game is like this. The closer to the last moment, the more the thickness of the team will be tested.

Nothing.

D'Antoni can only take one step at a time. It's best if he can win the game. If he can't win, he can only prepare for the home game against the Rockets.

Play.

Judging from the walking posture and emotional state of the two teams, the Rockets really have full possession.

Young people may recover after a minute or two of rest, but the older ones must be several times their size in order to recover like them.

Nash's speed of advancing with the ball was obviously a lot slower, and Howard and Gasol were not too different. Although they were younger, they fought too hard and did not feel much easier.

Drop position.

This tactic is undoubtedly the safest when physical strength is under a huge test.

As for the Rockets, there is a lot of ruthlessness. I don't care what tactics you want to play, no matter how you are going to deal with it, we just rely on our young physical strength to fight against you.

Therefore, under the unreasonable style of play of the Rockets, the Lakers suddenly collapsed without warning due to physical and tactical problems.

In just 40 seconds, Qin Tao and Harden seemed to be crazy, scoring eight points in the head of the Lakers.

And under their influence, Beverly and the others also contributed.

So when the whistle sounded at the end of the game and there was deafening cheers in the arena, the Rockets relied on their resilience and strength to finally defend the home field advantage of this series with a [-]-point difference!

after the game.

The O'Neal five gave this game a very high evaluation, especially for the performance of the Lakers' Big Three, they are simply full of praise.

of course.

Although the Lakers lost the game, what they said was definitely not a reverse ridicule, but a sincere praise for their performance.

For the Rockets in this game, O'Neal and the others are of course full of praise.

Especially Qin Tao, they all respect him highly. After all, without his impact and going it alone, the final result of the Rockets is really hard to say.

When it was the TV station's turn to interview, Christine Laidlow was naturally the hostess of the film.

But the interviewer proposed to Rockets PR this time was not her boyfriend Qin Tao, but James Harden, who scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in this game.

"Hey, James, your performance in this game is absolutely amazing!"

Seeing Christine Laidlow's startled and completely unpretentious look, James Harden was embarrassed, scratched his beard, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, but I still did a good job." not enough."

Because the surrounding voices were loud enough, Laidlow had to get closer: "For this game, what is your biggest feeling?"

James Harden thought for a while, and said: "This is a great game, Steve, Dwight and Paul, let me see the demeanor that superstars should have, their abilities are surprising, and even more admirable do everything."

Laidlow nodded in agreement: "Then the Rockets have won two consecutive victories at home, what expectations do you have for this series?"

James Harden subconsciously glanced at the player tunnel, and found that Qin Tao's back was fleeting. He bowed his head in silence for a moment, and then said very confidently: "We have the best inside players in the league, and we also have a group of great players. There are players fighting for it, so I can't imagine we can't make it to the next round."

Laidlow's eyes lit up. The essence of being a reporter is undoubtedly to get such news.

The last question, Laidlow did not continue to "digging", but asked Harden to say who their biggest enemy is.

Without even thinking about it, Harden said, "Spurs and Heat!"

incredible.

Laidlow directly gave him a thumbs up, but if they want to challenge the veteran teams in the East and West, they should first cross the mountain of the Lakers.

After the interview, Harden happily ran back to the locker room.

Honestly.

Since Qin Tao and Ledlow "have an affair", he has not been interviewed for a long time.

But when he pushed open the door of the locker room, he couldn't help being taken aback by the silence.

What the hell?

These guys wash up so quickly, have they already left?
Out of curiosity, Harden tiptoed to the bathroom.

But when he just came to the door, he was surprised again.

There is no sound of water.

Harden suddenly felt a little nonsense, and it didn't take long for these guys to disappear.

Cursing his lips, Harden turned around and prepared to go back to the locker room to change, and hurried to wash up and go home to have a good rest.

However, at this moment, with a bucket of drink thrown at him, the guy instantly became a drowned rat.

Laughter came one after another, and the big men headed by Qin Tao held empty buckets and small cups of drinks in their hands, as if Harden had won the MVP of the regular season, giving him a wave of baptism.

giggle.

Facing the tricks of these guys, Harden could only respond with a simple and honest smirk.

When these guys had had enough trouble and cleaned themselves up, it was McHale's turn to play.

For the performance of these two games, he gave the players great praise.

But as competent chicken soup coaches, they drank a lot. Naturally, they must not relax, because there are still two games left in this series.

Qin Tao and the others couldn't be more clear about this.

Through this game, they learned a lot and accumulated some things.

When leaving the arena, McHale also specially informed them that the team will give them some rewards after this series in view of their outstanding performance in the two games.

As for what rewards the team will give them, that will have to wait until the end of the series.
