The yellow storm in the NBA

The Rockets' winning streak finally came to an end, and it ended in the hands of the Lakers.

In the first half of the game, the Rockets actually took the lead and did not relax because they set a new record. After all, the Lakers are one of the two favorites to win the championship in the Western Conference. Naturally, they have to go all out to compete with them.

But in the third quarter of the game, Yao Ming stepped on Gasol's instep while fighting for a rebound, and eventually sprained his foot. After an on-site diagnosis by the team doctor, it was determined that he could no longer play, and he eventually had to leave the court and go to the hospital for treatment.

Yao Ming's injury is a huge loss to the Rockets. Although Quan Xiao is currently the highest scoring player on the team, Yao Ming is the cornerstone of the team and the team's anchor.

When Yao Ming is on the court, the Rockets' offense and defense have a clear core. On the offensive end, he can finish it by himself, or he can use his containment power to create opportunities for his teammates, becoming a transfer station or a starter. asxs... Even more so on the defensive end.

The undisputed core is still irreplaceable.

Yao Ming's injury not only greatly reduced the team's combat effectiveness, but also brought the team's atmosphere to a freezing point. Even Quan Xiao was greatly affected, resulting in a significant decline in efficiency.

In the end, the Rockets lost the game by 9 points, losing to a direct contender for the championship.

Yao Ming played 19 minutes, making 9 of 12 shots and 4 free throws, scoring 22 points. He also grabbed 7 rebounds and made two blocks. His performance can be said to be very outstanding.

Quan Xiao stepped up his offense after Yao Ming was injured and left the game, but his mentality was affected and his efficiency was not high. He made 10 of 24 from the field, plus 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 28 points. On the surface, the data looked good, but after watching the game,

I understand that my performance is not very good.

"Yes, I did not play well in this game. Yao's injury and departure had a great impact on the team and me personally. After all, he is the true core and cornerstone of our team."

"It is still unclear about the extent of Brother Yao's injury and we need to wait for the final test results. His absence will definitely make the game more difficult, but we are all mentally prepared. After all, injuries themselves are part of the game."

"We actually don't think too much about results or anything like that. Anyway, we have already confirmed our spot in the playoffs. The rest is just to compete for home court advantage."

After the game, Quan Xiao briefly answered a few questions. He is now very eager to know the extent of Yao Ming's injury and how long he will be absent.

Fortunately, after final inspection, Yao Ming's injury is not serious and there will be no problem if he rests for a week. This is undoubtedly good news for the Rockets.

"I'm okay. I just sprained my foot and it's a little swollen. No bones were injured. I'll probably be fine after a few days of rest. Paul is a very gentleman. I've played so many games with him. I know what he's like as a person, so I

Stop hyping up any deliberately hurtful topics, it was just a small accident." Yao Ming accepted interviews from several reporters after the examination. He seemed to be in a good mood, which showed that the injury was indeed very small.

After hearing the news, the Rockets coaches breathed a sigh of relief. The result was still acceptable and they could just hold on for a few games. So they relaxed and prepared for the next game against the Celtics.

In the next home game against the Celtics, the Rockets eventually lost, which once again proved Yao Ming's importance to the Rockets.

Quan Xiao smashed the Celtics' perimeter in this game, scoring 46 points in the game. His opponent Ray Allen was defended and only scored 14 points, but he was helplessly beaten inside by Garnett.

He scored a double-double of 28+14.

Uncle Mu is too old and won't be able to play for long, Hayes is too short, Scola is okay offensively but has limited defensive ability, and Landry is a rookie with drive but lack of experience.

Therefore, the inside combination of Garnett and Perkins defeated the old, weak, sick and young Rockets team. If it weren't for the outside attack led by Quan Xiao, perhaps this game would have been defeated by a big score.

"Losing this game is not unacceptable. The Celtics themselves are a very strong team and they are one of the teams most promising to win the championship this year."

"Yes, Yao's absence has a great impact on us, but my players performed well today, they all gave their best performance, and I am very satisfied with their performance. We have to adapt to this situation,

Because injuries are inevitable."

"This is a small setback for our team, and it is also an experience. I believe we will continue to win soon. Because we have a championship heart."

At the press conference after the game, Adelman acted very calmly. Firstly, Yao Ming's injury is not serious and he will not be absent for too long. Secondly, the Rockets have ensured that they can be in the top half and there will be no results in the remaining games.

Pressure can be used for military training.

Perhaps because of this relaxed mentality, without the pressure of performance, Adelman really started training in the next game. Landry and Brooks got the starting opportunity against the Hornets, and Miller

Was furloughed.

Brooks at his peak was not enough for Paul, let alone when he was still a pink and tender rookie, so it was no surprise that Paul taught the immature little black bean a good lesson, and David West also blew up

Against Landry, the Rockets ended up losing their third straight game.

What is different from what the outside world imagines is that no one in the Rockets took this losing streak to heart, and the atmosphere within the team was still very lively and relaxed. After they set the longest winning streak record, they no longer deliberately thought about it.

After the Bulls' 72-win impact, Yao Ming gave up his last thoughts after being injured.

Therefore, while other teams are still fighting for a playoff spot, the Rockets are already considering preparing for the playoffs. It is at this critical moment to use the game to train newcomers. This move has cost a lot of money.

The team is jealous.
