Harden was relieved to think of this.
He nodded to Wang Fei and said, "brother, you're right! What I want most now is to get one or two championship rings in my career. I'm willing to pay any price for this."
Wang Fei smiled brightly and said, "that's right! James, in my mind, you will always be the leader of this team, and you are the sea god needle of the Rockets! I think as long as we can continue to work together, this league will be our world in the next few years!"
"Thank you! Wang, your words have made me understand a lot," said harden with a sigh.
Harden said that he was nearly ten years older than the Chinese boy in front of him. He had been fighting in the League for ten years. What else can't be figured out?
"Let's cheer together!"
Wang Fei held out his hand.
Harden and Wang Fei slapped together.
The two smiled at each other.
D'Antoni, standing on the sidelines, also saw this scene.
D'antony saw that they seemed to have made good to each other. Harden seemed to open his heart, and he was also relieved.
Well, it's best!
De Antony said.
Wang can really be a natural leader.
He can better unite his teammates.
This is very rare.
NBA teams, many strong teams turn from prosperity to decline, mostly because of the internal struggle between the superstars in the team.
Like the OK group, if O'Neal and Kobe hadn't been in a bad fight, maybe O'Neal wouldn't have gone away from the heat.
If O'Neill doesn't leave and the OK combination doesn't break, maybe the Lakers dynasty can win several more championships.
If the contradictions in the team are not well coordinated, it will really spoil the big event.
On the live booth.
Mike brin also noticed the situation of Wang Fei and harden on the court for the first time.
Mike brin smiled and said, "look, guys, Wang and harden are talking. They look very interesting."
"I think there must be something wrong between them. They have had some cracks since they were close at the beginning. Wang can take the initiative to find harden, communicate with harden, and make harden's mood change rapidly, which is really a great skill. I think Wang is not only good at ball quotient, but also his EQ is higher. He knows how to solve the contradictions in the team and Can resolve these contradictions. This is the key for the Rockets to go further in the playoffs! "Jeff Van Gundy said.
"Harden felt a little unhappy. This is inevitable. Because before harden came to the Rockets, the Rockets were definitely harden's team, and he had supreme authority in this team. But after Wang Fei came, he destroyed his authority a little bit. Now, harden's role and influence in the Rockets have become smaller and smaller, and his leadership seems to have been replaced by this name The super rookie takes it away. It's strange if he doesn't lose. I think if the Rockets can't better solve the contradiction between Wang Fei and harden, it will be difficult to go further. The relationship between them is a time bomb. Now, it seems that Wang Fei has relieved harden through active communication, but this kind of resentment will never disappear. Maybe at some time in the future It will still explode. It depends on the wisdom of the high-level rocket, "said Mark Jackson.
Mike brin smiled and said: "In fact, harden doesn't have to feel unhappy because of this. His goal now is to win the championship. Before, it was very difficult for him to achieve this goal when there was no Wang. Now, Wang flew to the rockets and made a qualitative improvement in the strength of the Rockets! They have become the team with the highest voice to win the championship. Harden should also learn to tolerate in order to win the championship."
Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said, "harden is a wise man. I believe he must know which is more important. It's far less important to compete for the rocket leader than to win the championship."
The referee blew his whistle.
The game continues.
In the next game, Wang Fei still suffered from the key marking of the Lakers.
The Lakers are still very defensive.
Wang Fei was careful to avoid being hurt by the Lakers in the defense process.
He didn't dare to get too close to the Lakers.
Therefore, his steals are less.
However, Wang Fei's attack and organization are still very sharp.
In order to make harden play more actively, he also increased his assists to harden.
Under the attraction of Wang Fei, harden began to get more open shots.
Therefore, in the first quarter, harden got three sharp and accurate passes from Wang Fei.
Three passes, converted into two three points and a mid-range shot. Harden scored 8 points.
In addition to harden, Capella also got three scalpel passes from Wang Fei, and Capella also got 6 points.
Rockets bloom more.
This makes it more difficult for the Lakers to defend.
This also let Wang Fei relieve some of the defensive pressure he experienced.
Wang Fei scored 38 points, 8 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 3 rebounds in a single session.
The Rockets scored 56 points in a single quarter.
This single quarter score also created an NBA record in the new season.
Wang Fei scored 38 points in a single quarter, which is also a record for NBA players.
Because the previous record of NBA players scoring in a single quarter was maintained by clay Thompson of the warriors. Clay made 13 shots in a single quarter and nine three-point shots in a game in 2015. One person scored 37 points in the third quarter of the game.
In addition, Kevin leford also scored 34 points in a game in 2017.
At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Lakers by 23 points, 56-33.
Because the game was really good-looking and the rockets hit a high percentage, the atmosphere in the center of Toyota was very hot.
On the stand, the fans shouted wildly, singing and dancing.
The audience was shouting Wang Fei's name.
The voice of MVP resounded throughout the stadium.
At the end of the first quarter, Wang Fei and harden had a chest bump to celebrate.
Harden took advantage of the situation and picked up Wang Fei.
Shit!
Wang Fei is a little confused.
Just played a quarter of the game.
Everyone was soaked with sweat.
The foreigners have a strong smell. It's really so sour that they are held by harden.
Teammates also gathered around and clapped hands with Wang Fei one by one.
When he returned to his seat, de Antony was full of spring. He smiled and said to Wang Fei: "Wang, that's how you should play. Your organized passing is great. It's because your passing is very threatening that the Lakers dare not pinch you too much. And our team will blossom more, which will also relieve the pressure from the Lakers! Attack boldly and decisively! Man! I'm optimistic about you!"
When de Antony finished, Wang Fei turned to look at harden.
De Anthony smiled and said, "James, your shooting today is very accurate. Although you don't shoot many times, your role seems to be greater than before. As long as our team can maintain unity and harmony, I firmly believe that in the playoffs, we can frighten all our opponents. What do you think?"
Harden nodded, smiled and said, "Mike, you are right. Unity and harmony are the most important! I will help Wang Fei! I believe that under Wang Fei's leadership, we will win the championship this year!"
In this sentence, harden uses the word auxiliary.
This means that harden has begun to automatically put his position behind Wang Fei.
This is a recognition of Wang Fei's leadership of the Rockets!
When Wang Fei heard this sentence, he was very moved.
It's not easy!
It's hard to convince a proud guy like harden to admit his leadership.
This also shows that harden does realize that his role in the Rockets is not as good as Wang Fei.
Wang Fei's leadership is also played by himself one game after another!
In 13 games, nearly a month, Wang Fei's average score has reached an amazing 47.8 points. Without Wang Fei's amazing performance, the Rockets could not have won 13 consecutive games.
In this wave of winning streak, Wang Fei won the Best Western week three times.
He also won the Western best in November.
It's really not easy for a rookie.
The Lakers.
The atmosphere is a little depressed.
James's depression was already on his face.
He tried his best in the first quarter.
Although Wang Fei later relaxed his defense, James also scored 17 points in the game.
However, the team is still behind by a big score.
More importantly, he was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Wang Fei.
The gap between the two can be seen by individuals.
It makes James very sad.
He also wants to continue to call the wind and rain in this alliance.
He still wants to be the strongest man in the NBA.
But tonight's game woke him up.
He finally realized that he had really met the opponent of his life this time.
He finally realized that he was really a little old.
Wharton glanced at the silent James.
Walton also sighed.
He had never seen James like this before.
In the past, even if James lost the ball, he will still be full of confidence and believe that he will come back one day in the future.
Now, James's momentum of sacrificing himself seems to have lost.
This is not a good phenomenon.
"LeBron, be happy! Didn't you lose a quarter? I think we have a chance to reverse them in the next game! As long as we don't lose confidence!" Walton told James.
James glanced at Walton, took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Luke, you're right! We have a chance to reverse! I think we still need to increase the defensive oppression on Wang Fei, and we want to make him feel pain! We must not lose!"
As James spoke, his eyes hardened again.
James thought, I have experienced a lot of disastrous defeats in my 15 year career! Finally, I succeeded in revenge against my opponent!
Why not this time?
