Chapter 388

In recent years, harden has been the absolute pillar of the Rockets. Whether Howard was recruited before or Chris Paul later, harden's position as the leader of the Rockets cannot be shaken.

It is precisely because of harden's rapid growth in the rockets that the Rockets have become a strong team in the West.

Over the years, D'Antoni has developed harden dependence.

Without harden's game, the Rockets lost more and won less.

Although Wang Fei changed this situation after joining the Rockets this season, Wang Fei became the first scoring point of the Rockets, and the Rockets' dependence on harden was significantly reduced. However, considering that the intensity of the playoffs is at least one level higher than that of the regular season, de Anthony is still not at ease without harden.

After all, although Wang Fei is very strong, Wang Fei has never experienced the baptism of the playoffs.

In addition, if the Rockets lack harden, it is equivalent to missing a strong scoring point. When such a strong scoring point is less in the playoffs, I'm afraid the other party's wallet against Wang Fei will become more unscrupulous.

This will certainly affect Wang Fei's state.

De Antony worried about that.

Wang Fei smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, Mr. de Anthony. I think even without James, there are other people in our team who will stand up! In fact, there are many powerful young people in our team who think they don't get enough opportunities and don't have self-confidence. As long as they are given enough opportunities, I firmly believe that they can grow up quickly. Believe me!"

De Anthony sighed. He thought that Wang Fei led a group of substitutes to play for some time at the beginning of joining the Rockets. The substitutes also played well under the leadership of Wang Fei, and even scored no less than the main force.

He thought, up to now, he can only put all the treasure on Wang Fei.

Of course, the Rockets also have Chris Paul.

If Chris Paul can play better, he should also make up for harden's absence.

Thinking of this, de Anthony's mood was a little better.

"I hope so! We had a good situation this year, but I really didn't expect harden to get hurt. Drummond green is too cruel!" said d'antony.

This game, Wang Fei still continued to take turns.

And the game is no surprise.

The Rockets lost to the warriors.

Moreover, I lost miserably, losing to the other party by 39 points.

This is still the time when the warriors came on the bench to deal with the garbage in the fourth quarter. If the warriors don't release water, it is estimated that the Rockets will lose more.

After the game, the odds of the Rockets, which was originally the first champion in the league, fell from first to fourth.

Without harden, people all over the world don't think the Rockets can win the championship.

In this way, it will be March 15 in the twinkling of an eye.

That night, the Rockets still played at home and ushered in the game with the suns.

The Suns have been poor in recent years.

This year's regular season results are even worse than grandma's.

They are now at the bottom of the western region. Even if they get the whole league, their record is also the penultimate.

Therefore, the Suns are well deserved fish belly teams in the eyes of many people.

However, there is a young player in this team who performs quite well. This person is Devon Booker.

Booker is a rookie in 2015.

That year, Devon Booker was selected by the suns in the 13th place in the first round draft.

His draft ranking is really not high.

However, after entering the league, Devon Booker's performance was quite eye-catching.

In the rookie season, he can average 13.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

In the second year of the rookie, Devon Booker broke out.

He scored more than 10 30 + points this year, especially in a game with Celtic in March 2017! Moreover, the most rare thing is that Devon Booker only took 40 shots and got 70 points, which is the second lowest number of shots except Wang Fei.

However, although Devon Booker has a lot of data and often gets high scores, his Suns are still difficult to enter the playoffs every year.

This is also criticized by fans and experts.

If you are really strong, you should be able to lead the team to a new height. Why do you have to enter the playoffs?

If you can't get into the playoffs, what's the point of getting more points?

It is also because the Suns have a bad record that Devon Booker has not been recognized by NBA experts and media reporters.

It is widely believed that devonbuk is a player with insufficient leadership talent. He can't make his teammates better.

In other words, the Suns arrived in Houston by plane that morning.

The team came out of the security gate and was surrounded by reporters in the airport hall.

The coach of the Suns is Igor kokoshkov, who was born in Europe and once led the Slovenian national basketball team to the Champions League.

"Mr. koshkov, do you think your team can take a victory from Houston?" a reporter asked.

Kokoshkov said firmly: "I think we have a chance to win the game! Although we are away, although we are facing the Rockets with the best record in the League! Because they hurt a very important player, James Harden's injury will lead to the decline of the strength of the Rockets by at least one level!"

"But they also have Wang Fei! Wang is a better scorer than harden," the reporter shouted.

"Yes, I also think Wang is very powerful, but without harden, Wang lacks help. As long as we guard Wang well, I think we will have a chance to win! Moreover, don't forget, there is a very powerful scorer in our team, that is: Devon Booker! I think Devon is no worse than Wang! Tonight, maybe their opponent will win Become the biggest attraction of the game! "Koshkov said.

"Do you think Devon Booker is a superstar of the same magnitude as Wang?" another reporter asked.

"That's right! They are definitely an order of magnitude! Devon scored 70 points in a single game in his second year in the NBA! Devon also has a high shooting rate and very comprehensive scoring means!" koshkov said.

"But I'm afraid many people won't agree with you? Wang once led the Rockets to the longest 42 consecutive wins in NBA history, which Devon Booker has never done. Moreover, Wang is too comprehensive than Devon. Wang's score is as high as 51.9 points per game, and he is closer to the average steals and nearly 13 assists per game in the last double. What about Devon? So far, he has not been able to help the Suns enter the playoffs. "A reporter loudly refuted koshkov.

Obviously, this is a face in public.

C Keshi Kfeu had a red face, and he knew he was a bit far fetched.

Koshkov is a gold medal coach in Europe. He has his dignity.

However, after nearly a season in charge of the Suns, koshkov is also a little exhausted.

He felt that he had exhausted his efforts, but he still couldn't improve the Suns' record. The Suns' record this season was even worse, not as good as last season.

It's really a shame.

Koshkov blushed and said: "When the Rockets won 42 consecutive victories before, it was not Wang alone. The Rockets also had all stars like harden and Chris Paul. Harden, in particular, made more contributions to the Rockets' winning streak. Now harden is injured. I think the Rockets' strength is definitely at least one level worse than before. Therefore, we have a full chance to win!"

The reporters immediately turned their attention to Devon Booker.

"Hey, Booker, do you think you can get more points than Wang in tonight's game?" a reporter asked Devon Booker.

Devon Booker scratched his head.

He still has a little self-knowledge.

Wang Fei has also seen many games.

Wang Fei impressed him with his performance on the pitch.

He doesn't think he can be better than Wang Fei.

After all, his current data is only 26 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, which is far from Wang Fei.

However, he felt that he must not show weakness.

It's about the momentum of a team!

It's taboo to show weakness before the game!

Therefore, Devon Booker said: "I think I can compete with Wang in scoring! I don't think my scoring ability is worse than Wang! I believe I can get more scores than Wang! Moreover, we can win away!"

"Can you predict the score of you and Wang tonight?" asked a reporter.

Devon Booker thought for a moment and said, "I think I can get more than 50 points tonight, and my goal is to suppress Wang's score to less than 30 points with the help of my teammates! There are many excellent young people in our team, and we are full of fighting spirit now! Tonight, we are ready to teach the Rockets a lesson."

Rocket base.

The news that the Suns were interviewed by reporters at the airport soon reached Wang Fei's ears.

At that time, D'Antoni was arranging the tactics for tonight's game.

Gary Clark, sitting next to Wang Fei, put his own mobile phone in front of Wan Fei.

Wang Fei glanced and saw an eye-catching headline: Booker said he would crush the king in scoring tonight!

Yo!

Wang Feixin said, this tone is not small.

Wang Fei read the news once.

After reading it, he smiled and shook his head, trying to take a victory from the Toyota Center? Dream! I will never let you succeed!

Wang Fei also knows that before, because of harden, many people thought that harden helped him share a lot of pressure, and then the Rockets could have a 42 game winning streak!

But now harden is injured. It is estimated that many people are waiting to see Wang Fei lead the team alone?
