Basketball: Dayao Reopened

After playing the Mavericks, the Rockets ushered in a relatively difficult schedule, they will usher in several consecutive away games.

And when the two away games come up, they are "back-to-back" away games. This is a big test for the physical fitness of everyone on the Rockets. The schedule has reached this stage and everyone is a little tired. Playing "back-to-back" is really A very tormenting thing.

In order to win these two victories, Thibodeau deliberately made changes and disrupted the original main lineup, using Eddie Griffin and Jim Jackson as the starting second and third partner in the first game. The Rockets started the lineup, and then used Mutombo to replace Kevin Cato in the second game with the original starting lineup.

He wants to use this method to ensure that several players in the starting lineup have sufficient physical fitness.

This idea is good. In addition, the opponents are the New York Knicks and the Warriors. The strength is not strong. It can be said that the feasibility is very high, but in the end the Rockets ended this "back-to-back" with "one win and one loss". .

The reason is still physical problems.

At this stage of the schedule, just relying on lineup changes to make up for the physical problems was useless. When playing the Warriors in the second game, Mobley and Battier, who didn't play much in the first game, should have physical problems. , There are still physical problems.

Fortunately, after playing this "back-to-back", the Rockets somehow have one day to rest.

This is good news.

It's the only good news.

The bad news is...they will play the Denver Nuggets in their next game!

This team is weaker than the Warriors and the Knicks. The current record is the same as the Cavaliers, ranking bottom in the league, but the problem is that Denver has "altitude sickness". They have just experienced a "back-to-back" physical test. I want to play on the plateau again, I'm afraid that one day is really not enough to rest.

No, the Rockets who had been resting for a day were stupefied by the Denver Nuggets starting a 11-3 start, and then they have been in a passive position. In the end, the Rockets lost 91 to 97 in Denver, plus "back-to-back". "In the game lost to the Warriors, the Rockets suffered a two-game losing streak.

However, although the Rockets have lost two games in a row, all of them are not so frustrated. Thibodeau did not find any reason in the media interviews, because the reason does not need to be found. It is physical problems and the Rockets' cooperation. There are no problems.

On the contrary, it was the head coach of the Nuggets. Although he said: "Tonight we played very well, we played very well in the team. This allowed us to win the game. I think this is the state we should play. I hope It can be kept!"

But his face was covered with dark clouds, and he didn't look very happy at all.

It’s no wonder that his task this season is to lead the team to lose. The harder the team loses, the better his task will be completed, especially now that the team has a ten-game losing streak to prove his ability. Winning, on the contrary, was a result that went against what the management wanted. How could he be happy!

He was very upset, but he had to pretend to be pleased with the team's win tonight.

It's really hard.

Thousands of miles away, the Cavaliers general manager Jimmy Paxson, who has no game on the team today, smiles as bright as a chrysanthemum. He really wants to call Dawson and thank him for this season. It was a great help. They won two games in a row and lost the Nuggets one game. Inside and outside, it was equal to helping the Cavaliers get 3 games advantage in the chase of the No. 1 pick. Good guys, Such a good person!

"Although there are special circumstances, we have already lost two games in a row. The next game must be won!"

The Rockets continued to go away. This is their fourth consecutive away game. Fortunately, they can return to Houston at home after this away game. The difficult schedule can finally come to an end.

It's just that Thibodeau doesn't want to return to Houston with a losing streak. He hopes to end their current losing streak in the last away game of the four consecutive offenses and return to Space City as a winner.

Moreover, the Rockets have fallen to third place in the Western Conference due to two consecutive losses. This position, coupled with divisional reasons, will eventually fall to fourth or even fifth place.

Therefore, they must have won!

However, the last of their four consecutive away games is not easy to play, they have to face the Sacramento Kings, currently ranked fourth in the West!

Yao Ming is about to meet Chris Weber again!

Thibodeau gave a deadly order to win the game, and it happened to meet Chris Weber, which made Yao Ming couldn't help but mutter: "It's really fateful!"

However, he also knows that if he wants to win this game, I am afraid it is not easy. So far, it seems that the Kings have not been "double-killed" by any team!

This is certainly not a coincidence.

At the same time, Golden Arena One, five o'clock in the afternoon.

The Kings who should end the team's training at this point were still training. Head coach Adelman did not leave the training ground, standing on the sidelines and watching with a serious face.

Today he gave the Kings players an extra round of training.

So, of course, it will be tomorrow's battle with the Rockets.

He didn't want the Kings to be "double-killed" by the Rockets.

Especially now the Rockets are not in a very good state. If they lose again, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous to meet again later!

You know, although the current record of the Kings is ranked fourth in the West, they are the number one in the Pacific Division. At the end of the season, they can be ranked second in the West, and the Rockets are likely to climb to third in the West. In this way, after the first round, they will meet in the second round of the playoffs...

Therefore, if this game is still lost, it will cause a huge blow to the Kings and even affect the results of the Kings this year.

So ~www.novelmt.com~ must win!

But what Adelman didn't know was that he was not the only one who took this game seriously. Chris Weber and Stojakovic also attached great importance to this game.

In the last game, Chris Webber's performance at critical moments was very poor, especially in the last few rounds of the match against Yao Ming, and he was not as good as an ordinary player.

This makes him feel very embarrassed!

This time, he must wash away his shame!

For this reason, he stayed for another hour after Adelman practiced.

As for the reason Stojakovic is serious, it is naturally because of what happened in the All-Star Game...

Like Chris Weber, he stayed for an hour after the team training.

The core of the two Kings took a look at each other when they left, and they both saw the enthusiasm that was about to burst into flames in each other's eyes!
