Chapter 127 The Second Round Against the Rockets

On the evening of May 2017, 5, Zheng Long took the team bus to the Toyota Sports Center, the home of the Houston Rockets.

Compared with the last time I came here, some of the signs in the hands of Rockets fans are particularly eye-catching. They are not supporting the Rockets, but more aimed at Zheng Long.

[Zheng Long, you will fail miserably here! ]
[Zheng Long, welcome to your nightmare arena! ]
[Houston never welcomes you, Zheng Long! ]
When the Lakers bus passed the home fans in red jerseys, the fans made noise and kept shaking their signs, trying to get Zheng Long's attention.

Ingram, who was sitting next to Zheng Long, looked at the slogans on those signs, "Maybe the Rockets' home court is one of the most unwelcoming home courts for our Lakers, no, not one of them."

"The aggressiveness is too weak." Zheng Long just glanced at the signs, then pulled down the car window, put on the earphones, and calmed himself down.

The bus was moving very slowly, because some crazy Rockets fans rushed to the front of the bus.

The driver was sweating profusely. This scene was too rare, and he couldn't help muttering: "We just came to play a game, but they seem to have encountered the murder of their father and enemy."

However, the crazy fans couldn't block the progress of the bus with flesh and blood after all, and the bus entered the Toyota Sports Center smoothly.

When Zheng Long walked in the player tunnel with his teammates and went to the locker room, the eyes of the Rockets staff on the left and right sides along the way were also unfriendly.

After entering the locker room, Butler joked: "Maybe the team should send us more security personnel. Otherwise, when we win today's game, I am worried about whether it is safe to leave here."

Before everyone could laugh, Jokic yelled "Fack!" in anger. There were not many moments that could make this little fat man angry.

The players looked over curiously.

Jokic pinched his nose and took out a pair of smelly sneakers from his locker.

A disgusting stench filled the entire locker room in an instant, Xiao Nance retched directly, and everyone covered their noses.

Until Jokic threw the stinky sneakers out of the locker room, the stench still lingered in the air, which was nauseating.

"Damn it, it must have been done by those bastards from the Rockets!"

Jokic slammed the door of the locker room shut and decided not to use it.

The rest of the people also looked aggrieved.

This kind of disgusting method is occasionally encountered in the away locker room, but sometimes it is more like not cleaning it.

This is really the first time such a smelly sneaker has appeared.

Zheng Long's face turned serious, and he said, "The game will start soon, keep calm, and I will tell the head coach about this later, let's see how he handles it."

Now that Zheng Long had spoken, Jokic also suppressed his urge to rush out to find the person in charge of the away locker room.

Fortunately, Ingram took the initiative to share his locker with Jokic.

after awhile.

Walton, who returned from the pre-match press conference, covered his nose as soon as he entered the door, "Let me guess which bastard didn't change his socks before he came, and brought his stinky feet from a day of training to Houston. "

Then, Zheng Long stepped forward and told Wharton about it.

"Smelly shoes? Are you sure Jokic left that shoe at the door? But there was nothing when I just walked in."

Zheng Long slapped his head and said, "I'm pregnant. Jokic left the [evidence] at the door, and it should be [destroyed] by their staff."

Jokic said: "We can check the surveillance!"

Although there is no monitoring in the away locker room, there is one at the door.

Zheng Long shook his head and said: "It's useless, even if you can see the pair of shoes from the surveillance, it's not enough to prove anything. And after all, it's just a pair of shoes. They can completely say that the staff's negligence missed the Only shoes."

Everyone gradually understood.

The Rockets did it on purpose. They used a stinky shoe to disgust themselves, and you still have nothing to do with them.

Zheng Long observed the expressions of his teammates, and anger spread in the locker room.

What a "good tactic"!
In order to win, the Rockets can already be so disgusting?
No, maybe someone from Team Rocket did it.

Reminiscent of the hatred in the eyes of the fans and staff along the way, at this moment, Zheng Long fully understood how much Houston hated himself and the Lakers.

The emotions caused by this bad "little incident" did not dissipate with the arrival of the game, but intensified.

The Lakers players just want to start the game quickly, and use their actions to vent their anger on the Rockets players.

After the Rockets players finished the entrance ceremony.

The home fans also enthusiastically "welcome" the Los Angeles Lakers players who played with deafening shouts.

The game hasn't officially started yet.

The home fans were already red-faced, yelling, yelling, cursing.

"Fake Zheng Long! Fake Lakers! Fake Los Angeles!"

"Houston must win! Must win today!"

"Come on, Harden! If you win the Lakers today, I will accompany you with my four sisters!"

The atmosphere in the Toyota Sports Center is crazy. Facing the Lakers' four-game losing streak this season, the Rockets fans' emotions have been suppressed to the extreme.

Now that G3 is back at home, they are desperately eager for a victory to release.

In the hearts of home fans, the Lakers are the "big villains" at Houston's home court tonight!
Jokic suddenly said happily, "Fortunately, it's just stinky shoes. If these fans are allowed to enter our locker room, it will probably set a bomb."

This was originally Jokic's joke, but the Lakers players couldn't laugh.

Because what Jokic said is not impossible.

Zheng Long spoke to stabilize the emotions of his teammates, "Don't forget that the purpose of our coming here is to win the game."

The starting five of the Lakers walked onto the court silently, and the Rockets' starters walked up to them, just like the starters on the field.

The Rockets players seem to have regained their confidence because they returned to the home court, and their eyes were once again full of fighting spirit and desire to win.

"This may be the most difficult battle so far!" Zheng Long's mind suddenly came up with this sentence he heard from nowhere.

Beep----

Even the referee whistled today with all his might, and he tossed the ball to the center of the court.

The jump ball starts.

When the basketball flew into the sky, Rockets center Capela suddenly jumped up, pressed Jokic, and turned the basketball back to his teammate.

"Attack!" (Attack!)
"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The cheers and shouts of the fans immediately sounded at the home court, as if it was the Rockets' offensive horn.

Harden pushed forward with the ball. He changed his usual slow pace and was as fast as a cheetah. Oladipo tried to block it, but was passed by Harden's body in disguise.

then.

After Harden stepped into the paint area, he chose to take off directly, pull the ball and dunk!

Bang! ! !
Before Jokic could react, he was forced to accept Harden's button. He staggered back a few steps with his head in his arms, his pupils widened.

Harden, who completed the dunk, looked like a pool of stagnant water and quickly returned to defense.

"Buckle! Buckle from Harden!"

"From the beginning of the game, Harden played very aggressively!"

"It's been a long time since I saw Harden play so violently!"

The Rockets 2-0 the Lakers, the red ocean at home is rolling.

When he first entered the NBA, Harden was known for his excellent physical fitness, excellent wingspan and jumping ability, allowing Harden to frequently perform explosive dunks in his rookie season.

Later, with the change of play style and weight gain, Harden reduced the number of dunks, which also made the fans who watched the game later have an impression of Harden on the retreat three-pointer and penalty ability.

But tonight.

At the beginning of the game, Harden chose to dunk directly when facing Jokic, instead of laying up and fouling as before.

"Give me the ball, why are you so dazed?"

Zheng Long yelled at Jokic who was dunked, and Jokic picked up the ball belatedly and stood at the free throw line.

"Brother Long, Harden is not quite right today."

"Well, I'll help you return one."

"what?"

Before Jokic could react, Zheng Long, who received the basketball, rushed to the frontcourt like lightning. Facing the menacing Zheng Long, the Rockets players also made expressions of death.

Beverly desperately stood in front of Zheng Long who was sprinting at full speed.

Zheng Long's physical fitness, Beverly is clear, is also a guard, Zheng Long's confrontation ability is placed among small forwards, and they are all one-on-one.

Facing Beverly who took the initiative to "court for death", Zheng Long really wanted to hit him directly.

But in that case, he would definitely get an offensive foul.

Resisted the urge to kill Beverly.

Zheng Long pulled the ball in an instant, turned around and passed Beverly, just like Harden, after stepping into the paint, he directly chose to take off.

The basketball was held behind Zheng Long's head with one arm, and he was powerful enough to lift the mountain and surpass the world.

"Zheng Long, who accelerated past Beverly, chose to dunk directly!"

"But Capela is still under the basket at this time!"

"Capella chose to go head-on!!!"

Explain the passionate roar!
At the same time, in the air, Zheng Long and Capela, holding the basketball, collided!
The huge impact shocked Zheng Long, but the strong core strength allowed Zheng Long to send the basketball to the basket behind Capela before he lost his center of gravity and fell.

boom!
Zheng Long and Capela fell backwards to the floor at the same time.

Beep----

The referee blew his whistle.

"Double! Another dunk! Zheng Long completed the dunk for Capela for the second time this season!"

"Crazy, I went crazy at the beginning of today!"

"Harden and Zheng Long, both of them chose to dunk the opponent's center in the team's first offensive round!"

"However, Zheng Long also won a free throw for himself!"

The opening double button, such a picture, has never appeared in the entire history of the NBA.

Zheng Long supported the floor and stood up easily, while Capela stood up with difficulty under the pull of his teammates.

He never expected that Zheng Long could still send the ball into the basket in the air just now when he collided with Zheng Long like that? ? ?

Zheng Long's dunk shattered half of the home court momentum that Harden dunked just now.

The fans watched Zheng Long's attack just now on the big screen. If Harden was actually just a "fake dunk", after all Jokic stepped back when Harden dunked, then Zheng Long's dunk was the real deal The cappella was eaten raw.

Zheng Long made a free throw.

The Rockets fans used the noise to interfere, but still could only watch Zheng Long hit the free throw steadily.

The Rockets 2-3 the Lakers, and the lead was completed at the beginning of the score.

After scoring the goal, Zheng Long raised his head and glanced at Harden. Harden returned his gaze. He knew that this was a provocation from Zheng Long.

Buckle?

Who wouldn't!

Walton on the sidelines couldn't help clenching his fists when he saw the stadium full of gunpowder from the beginning, "Today, we will see who is more crazy."

Just like Harden and Zheng Long's two violent dunks at the beginning of the game, between the two teams, in the first quarter, they completely put on a "life-threatening" posture.

Can layup, never shoot!Can dunk, never layup!
Both sides are constantly looking for physical confrontation with the opponent's players, as if only the collision between the muscles can vent the anger suppressed in the hearts of both sides.

The referee of this game also gave a larger scale based on the situation on the court.

According to the "body whistle" standard of the league in recent years, the referee has the opportunity to blow the whistle in almost every round.

I am afraid that the game will not be able to proceed.

Seeking confrontation and giving up shooting games also reduces the offensive efficiency between the two sides. After all, it is still difficult to put the ball into the basket while being dragged by the opponent's arm.

it's fine.

If you don't make a layup, there will be a rebound battle next to the basket!
Jokic, Capela, Nance Jr., and Ariza turned the basket into an octagonal cage. Pulling is the most basic thing, and we must beware of those elbows flying in the chaos.

A rebound can be bounced several times under the provocation of several hands under the basket.

"Fuck you, bring it!"

The usual "gentle and honest man" Jokic at the basket also became crazy after eating a few elbows. Pulling the basketball abruptly from his arms.

The moment Jokic got the ball in his hand, he "slammed" directly in the direction of Zheng Long.

Zheng Long felt pain in his hand when he received the ball.

But in the face of this defensive rebound that Jokic tried his best to protect, Zheng Long used the whole court to break through and dunk, and completed the feedback!

Bang! ! !
"Another dunk from Zheng Long!"

"This is the first goal between the two sides in the past 2 minutes!"

"The confrontation intensity of today's game is already full."

"With 2 minutes remaining in the first quarter, the two sides scored 26 points in total."

That's right, the game has been going on for 10 minutes, the scores of the Lakers and Rockets are still at the beginning of 1, the Lakers are 14 to 12 Rockets, and the hit rate is terrible at the beginning of 3.

Even Zheng Long failed to take advantage of the Rockets' frenzied defense.

As long as you rush in with the ball, the five Rockets can cover it, and Capela and Ariza even rushed over without looking at the ball!

This kind of passionate mutual blogging gave Wharton an illusion in a trance.

"Am I in the 80s or the 10s?"

"It's at the basketball scene."

"Still watching football?"
