The yellow storm in the NBA

After defeating the Spurs, the Rockets' record became 36 wins and 4 losses. This record has caused a voice to emerge from the outside world, and many people have begun to discuss whether they can break the 72-win record set by the Bulls.

However, the Rockets, from the coaching staff to the players, did not take this voice too seriously. They knew what they wanted in their hearts. Compared with the so-called records, isn't the championship better?

Therefore, they will not deliberately pursue records, but rather let nature take its course and play according to the original rhythm. The greater role of the regular season is to train troops and practice tactics to cultivate tacit understanding, and at most strive to gain home court advantage.

The game against the Sonics is actually not that interesting. After all, one of them has the best record in the league, and the other is training and competing for next year's No. 1 pick.

Of course, there is something to watch, and that is the showdown between Quan Xiao and Durant. The two were good partners who fought side by side to win the championship in college, but now they are enemies. Who can win in the final showdown?

Not many people care about victory or defeat. Obviously, as long as the Rockets don't mess around, the Sonics have no chance at all. The strength gap between the two teams can be seen through the record, and the Sonics really don't have much confidence in winning.

But the personal performance of Durant and Quan Xiao is still worth looking forward to. It is said that the two often played one-on-one in college. At that time, Durant won more than he lost, mainly because the advantage established in the early stage was too great. Later, Quan Xiao gradually caught up.

He came up, and in the end he was on par with Durant.

After entering the league, Quan Xiao has obviously adapted faster and better than Durant. He has already performed at a phenomenal level, but Durant is still leveling up.

"Yes, I have been looking forward to it for a long time! I was already looking forward to the official meeting with Kevin in the first game. The previous preseason games do not count, they have no weight."

"How will I treat Kevin? Of course I'll teach him a lesson. Who asked him to abuse me in college? Now it's my turn to take revenge. Otherwise, after Kevin is also trained in two years, I will

There is no way to bully him, the best we can do is to fight with him!"

"Why are you so optimistic about Kevin? Man, your question is so incompetent. Do you think Kevin's talent is any worse than mine? No, not at all! In just two or three years, after Kevin's shooting becomes stable,

He is another big killer in the league! Even if it is placed in history

Historically speaking, Kevin is also a guy who can be ranked in the front row."

"Although I don't want to admit it, that guy did adapt better than me! Now he has walked in front of me! But it doesn't matter, I will catch up soon! Quan, just wait for me!"

"Teach me a lesson? Huh, am I afraid of you? Just come over here, I'm still waiting for your treat! Make this bold for me, so that all these guys can see it at the first glance."

"Yes, what I admire most about Quan Xiao is his ability to learn. When he first joined the team, I could win easily. But two months later, I could barely beat him. Three months later, I could barely beat him.

He was able to take a few wins from me in the end, and four months later we were evenly matched, and now I feel like I have fewer wins and more losses.”

"Jealous? Are you serious about this question? Man, are you sick? No one who knows our relationship would ask such a question. The better we fight, the happier I am, because we are brothers. And I also

Be more motivated to train and improve, and defeating a strong opponent is the real honor."

"Yes, we are brothers, but we are also old enemies and lifelong enemies! As for whether we will play in the same team again, who can say for sure? Maybe there will be a chance one day in the future? But I prefer to be his opponent.

, I think this is the same idea!”

Both Quan Xiao and Durant were interviewed before the game, and they also made harsh remarks during the interviews.

On January 21, 2008, the Rockets and SuperSonics met for the first time this season at the Toyota Center in Houston.

"Kevin, it looks like you're going to be in for a treat these few seasons! How pitiful you are, you still have to watch me be arrogant after losing the game! It feels cruel just thinking about it! How about our bet be void from now on?"

"Hey! Let's let you be arrogant for a few years, and soon you will see me being arrogant. It's just a meal. Who among us brothers still has that little money? I have to remind you, don't get too proud too early, lest you

Capsized in the gutter!"

"Thank you! But I'm afraid I've let you down. I won't take any opponent lightly, not even you!"

Naturally, there was not much suspense about the result of the game. The Rockets easily defeated the SuperSonics 109:97 at home, and Quan Xiao also beat Durant in terms of personal performance.

Quan Xiao played 32 minutes, 17

He scored 31 points on 11 shots (4 of 8 three-pointers), grabbed 8 rebounds, had 6 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks, and made only one turnover.

Durant played 35 minutes, scoring 20 points on 8-of-19 shooting (1-of-4 from three-point range), grabbing 4 rebounds, only 2 assists, no steals and 1 block, and 4 turnovers.

After the game, Durant treated Quan Xiao to a big meal and fulfilled his bet. During this period, Quan Xiao's arrogance almost made him break his defense.

In this way, the Rockets won their tenth consecutive victory and won double-digit consecutive victories for the third time this season.

A day later, the Rockets won again at the SuperSonics' home court, and Quan Xiao once again became the winner. The team and his personal performance double defeated Durant, and Durant invited Quan Xiao to give him a beating again.

On the 25th, at the Rose Garden Arena where the Portland Trail Blazers played their home game, the Rockets swiftly defeated the young guards, extending their winning streak to 12 games.

Quan Xiao got his third triple-double of the season, 29+11+10, with a shooting percentage of over 60%.

On the 27th, they returned to their home court against the Utah Jazz. With Yao Ming not performing well and Miller having a bad touch, Quan Xiao turned the tide and scored 25 points in the final quarter to lead his team to a comeback. He scored 46 points in the game.

The last opponent in January was the Warriors, and the last opponent last month was also them. The Rockets lost that game by more than 10 points.

Therefore, the Rockets players were holding their breath in their hearts in this game. They all wanted to teach the Warriors a lesson and beat them as revenge.

And they did it. They beat the Warriors 35:22 in the first quarter, and finally defeated their opponents at home with a score of 126:101, taking revenge.

Yao Ming and Quan Xiao both reached 30+ achievements. Yao Ming scored 31 points and 17 rebounds in 32 minutes. In this game, he made 14 of 20 shots, with a shooting percentage of 70%. Quan Xiao scored 31 points and 17 rebounds in 35 minutes.

He scored 38 points, including 9 of 14 three-pointers, and his overall shooting percentage was over 60%.

The victory in this game allowed the Rockets to remain undefeated in January. They have won 14 consecutive victories, which has also become a new high this season.

It's been a perfect month for the Rockets!
