Chapter 12 12. The final battle!

There is only the last game left in the regular season. Tang De did not relax in the slightest, and still soaked in the arena day and night.

He has a system, but his own efforts are also very important, he doesn't want to be just a "plug-in dog"!
The Lakers' opponent in the season-ending battle is the Houston Rockets. Tang De still knows the Rockets very well.

Or it can be said that all Chinese fans are familiar with the Rockets.

Because of the existence of Yao Ming, the Rockets have always been the home team of Chinese fans!

That "red tradition" is deep in the blood!
This season, the Rockets got James Harden from the Thunder through a series of transactions!

As the former super sixth man in the league, Harden showed his power in the first season when he came to the Rockets, and entered the ranks of superstars in one fell swoop.

Trading Harden is definitely one of the most ridiculous decisions in the history of the Thunder. Of course, it seems normal for all this to happen in the Thunder.

After all, "Detonator" has never been normal!

The Thunder team is an amazing team. Their draft vision is extremely good, otherwise they would not have selected Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, the three future superstars.

Their biggest problem is that they have been making wedding dresses for other people all these years!

But having said that, there is no way to do all of this. Who makes Oklahoma a small ball market?

If they had the financial resources of Los Angeles or New York, they probably would have won the O'Brien Cup long ago...

It's a pity that nothing happened, "Second Brother" has already gone to find "Third Brother"...

On the night of April 4th, the Lakers continued to sit at home to meet the challenge of the Rockets!
For the two sides fighting tonight, the outcome has no effect on the ranking.

The more important thing in this game is to maintain the state of the game and prepare for the playoffs!

During the warm-up period before the game, Howard took the initiative to talk to Harden in a low voice for a while.

As for what they said, no one knows!

Perhaps they were discussing the possibility of the two joining forces.

Howard doesn't want to stay with the Lakers for a second. He can't win a championship here, and he doesn't live happily.

He has a lot of complaints about Kobe in his heart, and he hates the media in Los Angeles even more!

And Harden seems to be a very good partner, at least his temper is much better than Kobe's.

But what Howard didn't expect was that he would indeed go to the Rockets in the future, but he found that he and Harden couldn't get along.

Moreover, Harden is the core player established by the Rockets, and Howard can only be a second-in-chief, not even the second-in-chief!
What surprised Tang De was that after talking with Howard, Harden walked straight towards him.

Deng Ge in this period is obviously not as strong as the future, and of course his beard is not so long.

When he first came to the Rockets, Harden's style of play was quite chic, and his breakthrough speed was still very sharp, but slowly Harden completely became a "floor flow"!
More is to rely on IQ to play, relying on extremely good ball feel and rhythm to play.

"Hey Don! I watched tape of your last game and listen, that was so cool, your threes are so cool!"

Harden said with a smile.

"You too, James, you are an all-round fighter. This is your first season in Houston. You have such an outstanding performance. It is a waste of your talent to let you play the sixth man!"

Facing Harden, Tang De said what he had to say.

"Listen man, none of that matters, I just play and I just want to make those damn shots! And Don, I love your [-]-point shooting so much, I hope to work with you this summer! "

Tang De realized that Harden seemed to have something in his words, but Tang De did not expose him, there is no need for that!
"Dude, just go all out tonight! I'll enjoy playing against you!"

Tang De stretched out his right hand actively as he spoke.

"Of course, I'll blow you up!"

Harden also reached out and shook Tang De's hand and gave him a high five!
Obviously, Harden is more cold to Tang De than to Howard.

After that, Tang De chatted with Shuhao for a while.

Jeremy Lin is also the first season with the Rockets this season. He has maintained full attendance throughout the season and has not missed even a game. The most important thing is to start every game!

Generally speaking, Jeremy Lin had a very happy season this season, and his performance was also remarkable, averaging 13+6 per game!
However, his team status will soon be exploited. With the rise of Beverly, the head coach slowly began to put him on the bench. After that, Jeremy Lin's Rockets career became more and more miserable. !
Tonight's game was broadcast live on TNT and Penguin Sports as usual.

Can the amazing Chinese kid continue his form in tonight's game?This is the topic that TNT created momentum for Tang De before the game.

The theme of the domestic Penguin Sports is: steady progress, continuous progress!

The starting lineups of both sides tonight will be shown on the big screen soon.

Lakers: Meeks, Blake, Tang De, Gasol, "Master Huo"!
Rockets: Harden, Jeremy Lin, Parsons, Jones, Asik!

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started!

With the opening jump ball, Howard easily won the first wave of offensive players again.

No way, a casual white center like Asik really can't beat Master Huo!
In the Lakers' first wave of offense, Tang De cut into the basket without the ball in the middle, received a pass from his teammate, and scored 2 points with an easy layup!
Tang De announced to everyone with an extremely firm attack at the beginning that his state is still hot!
The NBA never judges a hero based on a game. If he wants to be recognized by the outside world, the first thing Tang De has to do is to continue his state!
Otherwise, most people will think that he is just a flash in the pan, and will soon disappear from everyone.

In the Rockets' first wave of offense, Jeremy Lin hit the ground and passed the ball to the basket Asik, who succeeded in singles against Howard.

Obviously, Howard didn't play seriously at the beginning of the game tonight. If he shows the state of the game, it is absolutely impossible for Asik and his like to score in singles so easily.

Obviously Howard's mentality has been greatly affected.

Howard's mentality is gone, the Rockets have pills inside!

Seeing Howard so absent-minded, O'Neal, one of the greatest center players in NBA history, couldn't help it for a moment.

"As a center player, I don't play bloody, I really don't know what to say!"

O'Neill, who has always liked to play tricks, is not in the mood to joke after all!

Even Barkley, who likes to bicker with O'Neill the most, nodded frequently in agreement with O'Neill.

Although this is only a defensive disadvantage, it is not reasonable to be criticized like this, but in fact it is a matter of attitude.

Only through the first defense in the opening game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Howard is absent-minded tonight.

This is too different from his state at the beginning of the last game!
