I'm here, I'm running the NBA right now

229 Liu Xing: This, that's all, it's nothing.

The Lakers have won 56 consecutive victories.

The Rockets have a 22-game winning streak.

Originally, the Lakers vs. Rockets game was not a nationally broadcast game, but because the two sides met at this juncture.

Just like sparks hitting the earth, the Cavaliers vs. Celtics game, which was broadcast live across the United States, also had to make way for this game.

Playing against the Lakers who lacked Kobe, the Rockets generals were very excited and full of confidence.

McGrady, the leader of the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, was asked by a reporter during an interview before the game: "Does Los Angeles, which has won 56 consecutive victories, have the confidence to end their winning streak?"

McGrady said confidently, "Without Kobe, the Lakers are like tigers without front teeth. Beating them is as simple as eating and drinking. Their winning streak will end here."

In fact, McGrady has been in the Rockets for the past few years, and his performance is really mediocre, and his popularity is greater than his strength.

However, in the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, McGrady showed a strength that matched his worth, integrating offense and defense, averaging 26.8 points, 9.8 assists, 8.9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2.3 blocks per game. The statistics are very comprehensive.

In the last game against the Suns, McGrady even scored a season-high 45 points in a single game, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Similarly, McGrady was inevitably asked by reporters: "What do you think of Liu Xing, who scored 85 points in a single game in his rookie season?"

McGrady affirmed Liu Xing's performance, "It is undeniable that Liu Xing's rookie performance was phenomenal."

"However, 85 points in a single game doesn't mean much. There are no less than 10 people in the NBA who can score 85+ points in a single game. It just depends on whether the team needs it or not."

Later, McGrady changed the subject and said so.

McGrady's words once aroused the dissatisfaction of Liu Xing fans.

Liu Xing's fans complained that McGrady said that he couldn't eat grapes and said grapes were sour. If you have the ability, you can score 85 points and see, no, score 80 points.

If you can't do it, don't stand and talk without back pain.

In order to start a fight, the reporter also specifically focused on this topic and interviewed Liu Xing about his views on this. Liu Xing said, "That's right, that's right, McGrady said it. However, he is not included in the list of 10 he mentioned."

Liu Xing's words are a bit aimed at relatives.

This word reached McGrady's ears, and McGrady immediately shouted, "I want to score 60 points against the Lakers, as I said."

McGrady's words directly filled the fans' expectations for the Lakers vs. Rockets encounter.

game day.

In Houston, it was raining heavily. It rained for a whole day without a break. It started at 8:[-] in the morning and kept falling until [-]:[-] in the evening. the meaning of.

However, the heavy rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans to watch the game.

The game hadn't started for half an hour, but the Rockets' home court, the Toyota Center, was packed with fans.

All the employees of the Rockets, even their boss Alexander also came to watch the game in person.

Dayao is also here.Dayao, who was reimbursed for the season due to injury, came to the scene in person on crutches after surgery.

"Beep beep beep~~~~"

The whistle blew to start the lengthy game, and the Toyota Center fans went straight to an orgasm.

It is not without reason that the Rockets have won 22 consecutive victories. Except for McGrady, it can be said that everyone is a soldier.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, Liu Xing was still playing alone.

The two sides started.

Liu Xing succeeded in jumping the ball, the ball was given to Fisher, and Fisher held the ball for halftime.

Just look for Liu Xing, Liu Xing didn't ask for the ball, he played the Rockets, he didn't take the initiative to attack at the beginning of the game, but acted as a focus.

Fisher to find Odom, tonight, Odom has not returned to normal.

I tried one at the beginning and it didn't work.

The rebound was grabbed by Bo Tunbo.

Rockets counterattack.

Alston came over with the ball, and the ball was handed over to McGrady who came out from the inside.

McGrady took the ball, took a step forward, and gave the ball to Battier in the corner.

This is Battier's sweet spot, he didn't rush to make a shot, but gave it to Scola on the inside.

Scola played Wharton Jr., which is an advantageous matchup.

Scola's fantastic footsteps under the basket shook off Wharton Jr., faced the basket directly, and easily scored 2 points.

2-0

On the big screen at the scene, the camera was also shown to Olajuwon, the Rockets star who brought the Rockets 2 consecutive championships.

The corners of Olajuwon's mouth were raised, and he nodded with satisfaction.

This summer, Scola has apprenticed Olajuwon to learn the dream pace, and the effect is good.I just don't know if Scola, as a European player, has a good basketball foundation, or if Olajuwon is good at teaching.

Lakers ball rights.

Fisher passed the ball to Liu Xing, and Liu Xing passed it to Ariza in the corner. Now, Ariza is in the Lakers, and now Battier is in the Rockets, playing a similar role, opening up space, 3 points from the corner , and defense.

Catch the ball from the bottom corner and shoot directly, but unfortunately it is still short.

The rebound was picked off by Mutong Bo, and the Rockets counterattacked again.

Alston counterattacked very fast, it seemed that he was running alone, and the other 9 people present were watching, and the speed was very fast.

Played a quick conversion and took 2 points lightly.

4-0

Lakers ball rights.

Fisher's motivation for passing the ball is too obvious, and he still wants to hang the ball to Liu Xing and let Liu Xing distribute it. I have to say that Fisher's behavior is very Liu Wei.

McGrady saw Fisher's intentions and went straight to steal.

If the steal is successful, start a fast break immediately.

Fisher wanted to chase after him, but he had old arms and legs, and was short. On the other hand, McGrady was already fast, tall and long, so Fisher gave up decisively at a glance.

McGrady hit the air in the frontcourt, made a dunk, and scored 2 points lightly.

His dunk directly pulled the general manager of the Rockets, Mo Gou, from his seat, raised his hands, clapped, cheered, and screamed vigorously.

Feeling that it was not enough, Mo Gou turned around and waved his hands to signal the fans present to get angry.

The Toyota Center erupted like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

The sound of the fans, wave after wave, wave higher than wave, swallowed the entire Toyota Center.

This is not over yet.

Lakers ball rights.

Fisher passed to Ariza, who was in the corner and took a no.

Liu Xing took off the rebound on the head of the wooden barrel, and gave the ball to Ariza. Liu Xing's original intention was to let Ariza find the touch first. The game can't be played by him alone, right?

But who would have imagined that Ariza held the ball and faced a wide open, he didn't even make a shot.

Hesitated.

After a moment of hesitation, Battier's defense is in place.

Ariza hits the ball.

The ball was given to Fisher, Fisher held the ball, then gave it to Walton Jr., and Walton Jr. gave it back.

McGrady once again predicted Walton Jr.'s pass and made a steal. Fortunately, the Lakers retreated in time this time, and the Rockets' counterattack failed.

However, he was still caught by McGrady with an unsteady foothold. He chased McGrady and tried a 3-pointer. It felt good. When the ball was released, McGrady felt it.
