The yellow storm in the NBA

"At the end of the game, the Rockets were very sorry to have their winning streak ended by the Mavericks at home. The Rockets actually had a chance in this game, and the final score difference was only two points and one goal. It's a pity that Quan Xiao's victory in the end

The three-pointer was missed, and the Rockets suffered their second defeat of the season."

"Of course, this cannot be blamed on Quan Xiao. His performance today was still outstanding. The main reason is that the hole dug in front of the Rockets was a bit deep. When they finally tried to catch up with their opponents, the Mavericks also played their best."

"Everyone has watched the game. To be fair, the Rockets' loss today cannot be blamed on Quan Xiao and Dayao. We can look at their data and let the data speak for themselves."

"Dayao played 38 minutes today, making 10 of 18 shots. He scored a double-double with 28 points and 14 rebounds. In addition, he had 3 assists and 3 blocks. His performance was outstanding."

"Quan Xiao played 42 minutes. He made 15 of 24 shots (6 of 9 three-pointers) and scored 45 points. He also had 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. He worked hard on both offense and defense."

"Let's look at the performance of several other starters. Battier made 4 of 10, which was pretty good. Josh Smith made 4 of 12, which was just so-so, and Francis made 1 of 8, which was a bit of a drag."

"The main rotation players are Scola 1 for 4 and Hyde 2 for 6. It can be said that if one or two other Rockets players are more efficient, the Rockets can win this game, but unfortunately there is no if."

"At the beginning of this game, the Rockets players were very relaxed. It looked like a team training match, the state they should be in when they are not playing games. Perhaps the continuous winning streak has made the players relax, so

I was taught a lesson by the Mavericks."

The two people were summarizing the game on one side, while Quan Xiao was being interviewed on the other side.

"Quan, where do you think your team lost in this game? Who is most responsible for this game?"

"The winning or losing of the game is determined by many factors, not by any one person. So there is no one person who is responsible for the game. We did not play well enough in this game. The Mavericks are already very strong. They

My performance was better today and I deserved the victory in the end.”

"Having the winning streak interrupted is a huge harm to the team's morale, so what impact do you think this game will have on your team?"

"The winning streak was interrupted.

Of course it makes us very frustrated, and it will also affect the team's morale to a certain extent, but I don't think it will bring any big problems to the team. On the contrary, it will make us wake up, put down the pressure, go into battle lightly, and start again.

Focus on the game itself and don’t think about other things.”

"If you score the final buzzer-beater, you win! So how do you feel about this goal? Are you worried about being criticized by the fans for this?"

"I regret that the last shot didn't go in. I don't have any other thoughts other than that. No one can guarantee that the ball will go in 100% under that situation. The buzzer beater itself is a small probability event, otherwise it wouldn't be possible.

It would be so exciting and amazing!

As for what the fans think, I can accept it no matter what they think, because they are in their own perspective."

After the interview, when I returned to the locker room, I found that the atmosphere was a little dull. Obviously, losing the game and interrupting the winning streak made everyone feel a little depressed.

"Hey, brothers, it's just that you lost an insignificant regular season game. It doesn't have to be like losing the finals, okay? Of course, if you are afraid of being scolded by the fans, then I can't do anything about it.

, because I rarely get this kind of treatment, so to be honest, I’m a little envious of you!”

"Little brother, what do you think?" Yao Ming looked at Quan Xiao's somewhat mean look and said helplessly.

"Hey, Quan, your words have caused hundreds of millions of harm to me, how are you going to compensate me?" Josh Smith said in person.

"Oh, Josh, your face has never been bitten by a mosquito!"

"What are you talking about??????" a black man looked like a question mark.

"Mosquitoes can't bite you, which means you are too thick-skinned!"

After Quan Xiao's teasing, the atmosphere in the locker room became lively again, and everyone no longer dwelled on the defeat just now.

After washing up, Quan Xiao had to attend the post-match press conference again. He had no choice but to say that he was the best player again!

"Rick, we lost the game at home and interrupted our winning streak. Who do you think is the main culprit for the loss of this game?" The first question was from the coach, and it was very unfriendly.

To be honest, Quan Xiao doesn’t understand why everyone is so keen on finding the person responsible for the failure of the game. Is it to find someone who takes the blame? Or is it to set a target?

Let the fans have someone to vent their anger?

"I'm very sorry that the game was lost! It's a pity that I feel uncomfortable too! As the head coach, I am the biggest reason for the defeat of this game because my tactical arrangements and on-the-spot reactions were not in place. The players performed very well.

The main responsibility lies with our coaching staff.”

"Quan, what do you think of today's opponent, the Mavericks?"

"The Mavericks are a strong opponent. They have many strong players in their team. We have played against each other twice with one win and one loss. It can be seen that they are not weaker than us. They are a troublesome and difficult opponent."

"Coach Rick, why didn't the last shot go to Yao but to Quan? Is the Rockets' first choice already Quan?"

"There's no messy reason, it's just because Quan's hand feels the best today, it's that simple!"

After the press conference, Quan Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that just an ordinary regular season defeat would make the media so excited. Each question was more sharp and deceptive than the last.

The next game is still at home. The opponent is the Magic team led by Howard Howard. There is another three-day interval in between. I don’t know what the league staff who arranged the schedule think. It’s either three or four days apart, or it’s back-to-back. It’s impossible.

A game every other day?

Howard, who is in his fourth year, has grown up and is even showing signs of competing for the number one center in the league. I believe that in a year or two, as O'Neal ages further, the title of number one center in the league will probably only be between him and Yao Ming.

Select.

On December 20, 2007, Beijing time, at the Toyota Center in Houston, the Rockets faced the challenge of the Magic.

Before the start of this game, the Magic had already lost to the Grizzlies and the Mavericks and were in the midst of a two-game losing streak, while the Rockets had their winning streak ended by the Mavericks. So both teams have a reason to want to win, a hope.

Ending the losing streak and hoping to restart the winning streak.

After the first quarter, the Rockets looked very promising. They defended the Magic and only scored 15 points, but they only had 22 points, which was not very good.

But the game was beaten in the second quarter, and the Magic scored 29:18. There was still no improvement in the third quarter, and they lost to the Magic by 5 points in this quarter.

The game picked up in the last quarter and beat the Magic by 4 points. In the end, they lost to the home court by 5 points.
