Chapter 348 Still Undefeated
The performance of the Rockets tonight is definitely far beyond the normal level!Martin has scored 32 points so far!And Parsons scored 27 points!And Asik has scored 13 points and 16 rebounds!Perhaps because Presti rejected Harden's deal with the Rockets before, Morey asked to go all out for tonight's game!Maybe it's because the Rockets are currently ranked ninth and going all out to hit the playoffs,
Anyway, tonight's Rockets really gave Presti a headache!The Rockets tonight are so accurate, it can be said that no matter how they shoot, they can still score goals even if they are blocked to the face!
In the last 3 minutes, Presti lined up with Curry, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Green, and Davis in order to continue to strengthen the defense.

Davis grabs the rebound! !Advance yourself to the frontcourt!All the players on the field can dribble. Thompson in the previous life was really average in dribbling. Therefore, during the break, Presti was wonderful for Thompson to practice dribbling. There are not many places to go, as long as he can lead the frontcourt!

"Do you think the Hornets will make an 80 win?"

"That's impossible. No matter how good the Hornets are, players are human and they will always float! But I now believe that the Hornets can break the Bulls' regular season record!"

That night, Presti gave the players a holiday and asked them to accompany their families. Because there were Hornets in the Christmas game this year, they took this opportunity to reunite them, and Presti also arranged the location of the players’ family members in the arena so that they could watch the players’ Christmas game.
