The yellow storm in the NBA

When the final whistle of the game sounded, Quan Xiao looked up at the big screen in the center of the stadium. The score above clearly told him that the game was lost.

Two consecutive losses, the first consecutive defeat since the beginning of the season, Quan Xiao's heart was rippled for the first time because of a regular season defeat.

In this game, Quan Xiao's performance was still stable. He played 43 minutes and made 21 shots, hitting 13 goals (4 of 8 three-pointers), making all 10 free throws, scoring 40 points, 8 rebounds, and double figures in assists.

Of the 11 times, 3 blocked shots and 3 steals were recorded.

Yao Ming played 42 minutes, making 11 of 18 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 29 points. He also had 13 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Apart from the two of them, the best performer was Smith, but he only had 11 points, and no one else reached double figures.

On the other hand, the Magic had as many as six players scoring in double figures and defeated the Rockets. They won today not because their core players performed better than the Rockets. Howard was suppressed by Yao Ming in this game. They won entirely because

Because their role players performed better.

The reason why he was able to have 11 assists is because Quan Xiao had to devote his energy to organizing the team's offense today. But this is not his favorite style of play. He does not need to take the ball in his hands too much and full-time

Scoring defense and taking into account organization are his best modes.

But with the Rockets' current guard lineup, Adelman has to let Quan Xiao share part of the organizational work. Even though he knows that this is not Quan Xiao's most comfortable style of play, he can only grit his teeth and choose, otherwise the Rockets' performance will be even worse.

Quan Xiao's post-game interviews and press conferences were perfunctory, and his language was more official than official, leaving reporters with no choice. Quan Xiao knew what they wanted, but he was not in the mood to pay attention to them today.

The response is very flattering.

"Brother Yao, I think the time is almost right now, and we can just take this opportunity to make a request for reinforcements. What do you think?"

"I also feel that the opportunity has come. This losing streak can break some people's unrealistic ideas. Previous victories have actually covered up many problems. If these problems are not solved, we will not have much chance to reach the end."

"Brother Yao, I think we have a better chance of putting pressure on the management together. I think I still have a certain weight in the team, and I believe the management will take my ideas into consideration."

"No, Ah Quan, just think about how to play well. Don't worry about other problems. Brother Yao and I are here!"

"But this is my idea. I should bear the opinions of the outside world, and I actually don't care much. As long as it can strengthen the team and give me a chance to go further, a little criticism will not affect me."

"Little brother, I can understand your feelings, but have you ever thought about it. If I stay out of the matter and you make demands to the management, what will the fans and media outside think? After all, I came here a few years before you.

, and you are just a rookie, you don’t need to care what the media says, but you have to consider the feelings of the fans.”

"I understand your intentions, and I support your ideas. I will not doubt your motives, but fans who don't understand the inside story will think that you want to fight for power and become the boss, which is not conducive to the unity of the team."

"I didn't think carefully. Thanks to Brother Yao for reminding me. It's a shame that Brother Yao has to bear the blame for the time being, but I promise that if the team strengthens, then I will try my best to help the team go further."

.”

"Okay, brother Yao, I know you are an ambitious player, and I hope you can be like this. Just leave the rest to me. You don't have to think about this anymore, just focus on the game!"

"Then I'll bother Brother Yao. I'll go back and rest first. See you tomorrow, Brother Yao!"

Looking at Quan Xiao leaving, Yao Ming smiled happily. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Quan Xiao's strong rise will affect his status, and he may even be robbed of his position as the boss, but Yao Ming has never thought about this problem. Quan Xiao

The stronger Xiao is, the happier he is, because then the team will be stronger and he will have the opportunity to achieve breakthroughs in performance.

What's more, next year will be the Olympic Games at home. At that time, a more powerful Quan Xiao will definitely be the best help to help the national team break through.

When he got home, Yao Ming took out his cell phone and called his agent. It took more than ten minutes to end the call.

"I hope you won't be so stingy, Alexander, otherwise I will have no choice but to use my trump card!" Yao Ming muttered to himself after ending the call with his agent.

On the other side, Quan Xiao also communicated with his economic team and discussed the follow-up actions.

The next day, the pages of major media were once again occupied by the Rockets, but this time it was no longer praise, but ridicule.

"Bleachers": The fuel is out and the rocket crashes!

After losing to the Mavericks, the Rockets once again lost at home to the Magic, who had lost two consecutive games, and suffered their first consecutive defeat since the beginning of the season. Looking at the performance of the Rockets in these two games, it is not difficult to see that they have lost their previous magic.

, was knocked back to the prototype. Perhaps this is the real strength of the Rockets. Their fuel has been exhausted, and the rocket will eventually land.

"Sports Illustrated": The magic is no longer the Rockets' losing streak!

Since the beginning of the season, the biggest dark horse team, the Rockets, lost to the Magic at home yesterday, suffering two consecutive defeats. At this point, their magical aura has finally faded, and they may be knocked back to their rightful place in the future.

ESPN: Twelfth, this is in line with the positioning of the Rockets!

Before the start of the season, the Rockets were ranked twelfth in the power rankings. Since the start of the season, the Rockets have risen as if they had taken Viagra. After two consecutive victories, they occupied the top spot in the league. Their results remain the same today.

They are number one in the league, but this is not a reflection of their true strength.

Yesterday they lost to the Magic at home, and the Rockets have lost two games in a row. So far in the season, the Rockets have begun to show signs of fatigue. Tomorrow they will play the Nuggets back-to-back, and the Rockets may lose three games in a row. From this point of view, the 12th

This is the positioning that best suits the Rockets.

The league officials did not make any comments, but gave detailed statistics and details of the game on the official website.

The media in other teams' locations reported on the Rockets' failure, and their words were full of gloating. Especially San Antonio, where the Spurs are located, was as happy as if they had won a grand prize.

Although the media in Dallas, which is also located in Texas, is not as exaggerated as the Spurs, they still have a strong sense of superiority because they are one of the parties responsible for the Rockets' two consecutive losses, so they have reason to be proud.

Although the local media in Houston were a little disappointed, they still wrote an article to express their support for the team. The "Houston Chronicle" used the title "Forget the Failure, the Rockets Will Lift Again" to encourage the Rockets players to put aside their past failures and

Unite as one and start the road to victory again.

At the same time, it also pointed out that if the Rockets want to make a difference this season, they must strengthen the team. The Rockets' performance this season has proven that they have great potential. This is the best time to make a breakthrough.

Strengthening the team will definitely make it further.

The Rockets' management received a call from Yao Ming's agent on the morning of the game against the Nuggets.
