1016 The Spirit of the Mad Dog

Not only the offensive end, the Rockets' biggest improvement in flexibility is actually on the defensive end. Anyway, there is no real big center available. Hayes, Landry, Scola, even Artest and Battier are all the same. Let's talk about it, they can defend to the 4th and 5th positions, especially when there must be one person in the two positions of the Lakers. Don't limit the position, just go there if you meet it.

The five people created an iron-clad camp, and the restrictions on the inside were just a matter of course. The most amazing thing was that the Rockets raised their own external defense to a rare point in history, making it impossible for Kobe to get space for easy attacks.

Yes, if a team is on the outside, Xiao Han, Bathir and Artest, you try to break through their defense?

As a Chinese player, what makes Xiao Han the most amazing is actually his offense and defense, although his defensive skills are not as good as Luo Hao.

Before the game, Xiao Han spoke wildly. Some people said that he was crazy. However, when the game started, they found that Xiao Han was far more crazy. The entire Rockets team was like a wind demon. The fierce snatch made people wonder why this place was not the NBA Rockets, but the home court of the NFL Houston Texans.

After the game, Battier declared that they were a mad dog spirit, and their names were very bad, but they were very appropriate. From Battier's nonsense and did not care at all, they could tell that they were really willing to give up.

The Lakers' carelessness at the beginning was indeed one of the reasons for their miserable defeat, but what they could not even make for breath to counterattack was the Rockets' suffocating defense and the blooming offense.

Under Xiao Han's leadership, the Rockets team's eight players were in double digits. He scored the highest score in the team, but only 21 points. In addition, Artest scored 16 points, Battier scored 14 points, Scola scored 14 points, Landry scored 13 points, Brooks scored 12 points, Lowry scored 11 points, and even Hayes scored 10 points under Xiao Han's continuous artillery shell delivery, and there were 10 rebounds, which was worthy of the team's starting center position.

The wind swept the Canyun, and the game was over before the Lakers organized a decent counterattack. Looking at Xiao Han's amazing data of 21 points, 22 assists, 15 rebounds, and 7 steals, Kobe's mind was repeated on the plane back to Los Angeles, and there was only one sentence in his mind: "I had thought of it for a long time, I had thought of it for a long time..."

If Xiao Han scored 22 assists because they really adapted to his elusive pass method, then what excuses should the Lakers make for Xiao Han, a defender who is only in his early 1.90 meters to catch the 15 most rebounds in the game?

Perhaps, Xiao Han is really crazy, this is the most perfect reason.

In the fourth game, Kobe's score was limited to below 30 points for the first time, making 7 of 17 shots, with only 15 points. The Lakers' 87 points also hit a new low for both sides since the start of the series.

Phil Jackson called this battle a "must reflect on" battle, and Kobe deeply agreed.

In Kobe's mind, the one he should reflect on the most may be himself? You should know that his own substitute Shannon, who is not even half of his playing time, scored 14 points. The efficiency of the two is compared together, how can Kobe feel?

After four games, the two sides tied 2-2. The next fifth game really became a battle between Tianwang Mountain and a key battle. Back at home, the Lakers must be determined to win this game and not to lose anything, but Xiao Han, that almost omnipotent boy, would he surrender?

When the series is played to this level, there is nothing to hold back. Both sides are doing their best. Even if they catch the opponent's weakness with a smile, they will try their best to magnify him infinitely. To put it bluntly, the Rockets have no inside line and the Lakers have no point guard. That's it, but the relevant media can create a series of reports for you.

Although you can't play, Yao Ming, who cares about the team and is worried, still comes to Los Angeles with the team. At this point, Xiao Han feels that he is much better than McGrady. In any case, as a member of the team, at least you have to be with the team. It's not that he deliberately finds fault and says McGrady is not that he is indifferent to the fate of the Rockets, but that he is too meaningless. You must know that in addition to major changes, the team needs help and encouragement from all aspects. No matter what, McGrady should overcome his own difficulties and indifference in his personality, and be a little enthusiastic.

Xiao Han believed that McGrady would not be indifferent to the team's situation. To put it more selfishly, this also affects the championship. It is more likely that McGrady was anxious, but because she couldn't do anything, she simply chose to escape.

Of course this is wrong. Xiao Han thinks that McGrady should go to the team to care about young players, especially their psychological changes. After all, such a cruel and fierce playoff competition is something that many people cannot experience in their lives. As a superstar, McGrady can at least soothe their emotions and let them participate more actively in the game.

If there is no, then there is no. Xiao Han felt that after the last big victory, everyone's emotions gradually stabilized. At least no one was cynical, no one was pessimistic and desperate. It was even more impossible to be afraid of the Lakers. Now, everyone has only one wish, that is, to participate in the game and then trample the Lakers under their feet.

Xiao Han's heart became even more determined. What he said never failed. This time, he issued a declaration of winning the championship. No matter how difficult it was, he would fight to the end.

Of course, Xiao Han also knew that what he said was actually a big talk and would most likely become a laughing stock, but he had no choice. At that time, in order not to make the team mess up first, he could only try his best to make everyone believe it. It was too early to give up easily at this time. He still had a way, and everyone must maintain confidence and patience.

Of course, Xiao Han will not lose confidence, but the solution is to watch it.

No one expected that, and Xiao Han himself did not expect that he ignored a very important issue.

When Xiao Han persuaded Yao Ming, he once said that Yao Ming had never played so many series at once, but he forgot that he was even worse than Yao Ming. Not to mention the playoffs, even if he added up all the NBA games he played, how many games can he have? Is there more playoff games than Kobe?

In the fifth game, it was another away game, Xiao Han fell into a devastating situation without warning. In this game, he was ready to fight Kobe head-on. Many times, he did get the chance to take action, but the ring was like a cover, and he would not let him in.

When Kobe scored only 15 points, Xiao Han even wondered. In fact, since he entered the league, he has been wondering why those super scorers have moments of sluggish performance from time to time, and he never seemed to have encountered them. Of course, there were also some bad things, but he used reasonable allocation to convert the shot into assists. Today, he understood that in some games, it is not that you can not shoot if you don’t want to shoot, and you can not stand up if you know that you are in a bad state. You must do what you should do. In addition, you can only hope that you can adjust quickly.

After the last game, because the team won a lot of joy, there was even a strange saying that "it is better than Yao Ming Rockets". Today, the facts gave these optimists and ungrateful people a heavy blow. Anyone's outside hit rate is unreliable, including Xiao Han.

Xiao Han was tired. Not only did he have physical problems, but he had been worried about Yao Ming and also exhausted him. When Yao Ming really fell down, he only had one breath left to support him. In the last game, his tone was also exhausted. Today, his body and brain were no longer controlled by his will, and he entered dormant.

So, where did the Rockets lose in this game? In addition to their hit rate, what else did they have problems, causing the team to suffer a 40-point defeat?
