I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 142 Houston

Wei Shao followed Jiang Mu's finger and glanced at the technical table.

第四节9分24秒，96:84，尼克斯队依靠着江沐的连续两个三分球已经领先了12分。

Jiang Mu, 19 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals.

The difference is that Jiang Mu contributed the most 3 turnovers since he entered the NBA under the pressure of Westbrook in the first three quarters.

Inside the Warriors.

Drummond Green: "Stephen, China Jiang's fourth quarter game looks more like you and Klay!"

Curry: "Yeah, China Jiang is smarter than he imagined. In the first three quarters, he felt Russell's strong body and defensive pressure. In the fourth quarter, he played directly without the ball. Every time China Jiang showed a new skill, it seemed extremely With experience, he seems to be a formidable opponent."

Green: "No, no, no, you think too highly of him. If he meets us, none of his playing styles that look good so far will not work!"

Westbrook tried again to shoot a three-pointer, but still missed, and when he returned to defense in annoyance, he still heard Jiang Mu's nonsensical trash talk:

"Mr. Turtle, is your outside touch hidden in the sewer like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Give up this scoring method and continue to catch up with one point and two points with your brutal playing style. After all, time is running out! "

At the end of the game, the Knicks defeated the Thunder 101:92.

After the game, Jiang Mu and Westbrook changed their confrontation during the game and shook hands.

"Jiang, forgive me for what I said during the competition. After all, trash talk is the greatest affirmation of an opponent who is evenly matched!"

"Of course, I think so too, otherwise I wouldn't have confronted you throughout the fourth quarter, but...Russell, do you really think we are evenly matched in strength?"

威少一愣，看了看技术台道：“难道不是吗？我得到了29分12篮板13助攻，你得到了22分12助攻2抢断，虽然我的5失误比你多了2次，但其他数据还是要超过你的。”

Jiang Mu pouted: "You only hit 29 goals in 10 shots."

Wei Shao hurriedly interrupted Jiang Mu: "Jiang! Don't care about these things, I recognize you! Looking forward to meeting you next time, and maybe we will become teammates in the near future!"

Jiang Mu: "Just wait."

But Jiang Mu knew that Westbrook's personality was just like this, so the two left their contact information.

The afterthought appeared again in the media: the death is not there, the Knicks have insufficient gold content in defeating strong teams, and the Houstonians will teach the Knicks a painful lesson!

Although the Houston Rockets have only achieved a record of 5 wins and 7 losses this season, James Harden's strong performance still makes most people believe in the strength of the Rockets.

So far this season, James Harden has averaged 28.2 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists per game. He is definitely at the top of the league in terms of statistics.

Jiang Mu's matchup with the league's top guards will attract widespread attention every time, and this time is no surprise.

On the 12th, it was a back-to-back away game against the Houston Rockets. The Knicks who fought against the Thunder the day before were a little tired, especially Jiang Mu, who was the brain of the team, did not find a good way to beat Westbrook until the fourth quarter. Jiang Mu was physically exhausted. It's even bigger.

The number of Houston Rockets fans is huge.

The Houston Rockets are a professional basketball team in Houston, Texas, USA, part of the Southwest Division of the Western Conference.The Rockets are a team with a tradition of high centers, from Moses Malone and Ralph Sampson in the early days to Hakeem Olajuwon, and the Chinese "little giant" who was the top pick in the first round in 2002 "Center Yao Ming, and Dwight Howard, who was transferred in 2013, are all traditional centers who dominate the NBA.

Last season, the Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference with 56 wins and 26 losses in the regular season. Since 1994, they have once again won the Southwest Division.

In the first round, they eliminated the Dallas Mavericks 4-1 and advanced to the second round.

In the second round, the Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 4-3 in seven games and entered the Western Conference Finals.

But in the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets also lost to the Golden State Warriors with a big score of 1-4, ending the journey of the 2014-15 season.

Therefore, even with the poor record since the beginning of this season, it is still recognized as a powerful team by the outside world.

Because of Yao Ming's relationship back then, even though Jiang Mu eliminated the Texas Tech Red Raiders back then, the fans in Houston still liked the Eastern face of Jiang Mu a little more, and some fans even proposed to wait for Jiang Mu's contract. After the expiration, you can come to Houston to play, so that the connection between China and Houston will go one step further.

But Jiang Mu didn't catch a cold, not because Jiang Mu's contract expired for a long time, but because he disliked the general manager of the Houston Rockets, Darryl Morey.

Jiang Mu is very patriotic!
The city of Houston has been sentenced by Jiang Mu to never join in his NBA career.

There is another reason, Jiang Mu doesn't like to play with James Harden.

There is more or less a Chris Paul relationship element to it.

It's not because Jiang Mu likes Paul more than Harden, but Jiang Mu's playing style in the early days of entering the NBA is somewhat similar to Chris Paul, most of the time he plays in the way of a traditional point guard , but when you need to make a move yourself, you are absolutely not relentless.

So Jiang Mu knew that he and James Harden must be incompatible.

Harden takes the ball too much, and the same is true of Jiang Mu at present. Although Jiang Mu can play off the ball, Curry seems to be better than Jiang Mu without the ball. Curry can have Klay Thompson to share the pressure off the ball, but now The current Knicks Jiang Mu does not have strong supporters in the back line.

Could it be that Calderon, who is about to play on crutches, returns to the starting point guard position again?

Morey, the general manager of the Houston Rockets, also answered Jiang Mu's topic in the pre-match interview. Regarding the reporter's question about this new generation of Chinese defender who is in the limelight, Morey said, "I don't know China. I don't know any of the guards." Although the words did not spread to the country, the unhappiness in Jiang Mu's heart turned into a monstrous fighting spirit.

Except Erwan and Zhou Guolong who knew Jiang Mu best, no one knew what kind of mood Jiang Mu would fight in this match.

On November 2015, 11, the home of the Houston Rockets - Toyota Center Arena.

Surrounded by a sea of ​​red, there are a few orange jersey groups, and the few Knicks fans basically wear the No. 8 jersey.

A small number of orange No. 8 jerseys and red No. 3 jerseys formed a strong contrast, as if they were resisting the huge number of No. 3 with a weak force.

It's a lot like a lot of pregame sounds.

"The best shooting guard in the league today is facing China Jiang, who is in the first grade. Today, China Jiang will be stripped and hung on the rocket's launcher!"

"Although China Jiang is a point guard, he bears most of the offensive firepower of the Knicks' guard line. Jiang still needs to practice for a few more years."

"Score? China Jiang can't do it!"
