Chapter 1513 The first defeat, the key to the playoffs!

Houston, Toyota Center Arena o

Today is the Rockets and Lakers' match. The first half has ended. The score on the field is 62:50. The Rockets lead the Lakers by 12 points.

In the audience, Rockets fans were very excited because judging from the situation on the court, it seems that the Rockets won the game today.

Originally due to the strength of the Lakers, Rockets fans were very worried about this game and felt that it would be difficult to beat the Lakers.

But the situation is very good now, which is an extra surprise, which has excited Rockets fans. It is very good for them to win the Lakers at home.

In fact, although the Rockets performed well today, they were able to lead the Lakers by 12 points in the first half because the Lakers played too badly today.

This game is back-to-back. As soon as the Lakers finished playing the Warriors, they flew over to play the Rockets. The last game was too fierce with the Warriors. The players were not able to recover, both physically and mentally. Today, they faced the Rockets. The players were not in good shape at the beginning and had a low hit rate.

So this game is unfair to the Lakers. The Rockets are waiting for their work and take a lot of advantage o

Otherwise, with the Lakers' offensive firepower and scoring talent, how could the whole team only get 50 points in the first half? When they played against the Warriors, at half time, Chen Feng, Yu Qian, Shi Xiaomeng and Lefu scored more than 50 points.

Seeing that the players under him looked ugly, Scott clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention and said, "What are you doing like this? Isn't it just a dozen points behind? What's the point? Besides, 82 games in a season, NBA has won 82 wins over the years? This is impossible. Even if God comes, we can't do it o we have achieved 18 consecutive victories this season. You have done your best. You don't have to be too demanding on yourself."

"What's more, this is a back-to-back game. We just finished playing the Warriors O and winning the Rockets. I think winning the Warriors is more important. Yesterday we won the Warriors, so even if we lose today, there is nothing o."

"Guys o" Scott raised his voice, "Pull yourself up, let go and fight, don't think so much, don't put too much pressure on yourself o"

Everyone was shocked and shouted in unison: "Yes o"

......

The second half begins o

Entering the second half, everyone on the Lakers let go of their psychological burdens and no longer think about the outcome, but let go of the game. The effect is better, and the hit rate is also increased.

With the Lakers' current firepower, once there is no problem with themselves, their shooting rate is not too bad, and their scoring ability is really terrifying, which makes the Rockets a little overwhelmed.

The Rockets called two timeouts in a row, but they still failed to curb the Lakers.

Before we knew it, people were surprised to find that the score difference of 12 points was actually flattened, and both sides returned to the same starting line. This made the home fans very depressed. The situation was already very good, but why did it turn out like this in the blink of an eye?

If the Lakers, who are not physically consuming enough, cannot win even when they fight back to back, what will happen if they meet the Lakers in the playoffs?

When the third quarter ended, the Lakers fell by 1 point.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers' substitute lineup made a small climax and overtook the score, making the home fans angry and shouted at the field, very dissatisfied with the Rockets' substitute lineup.

This is surprising. No one expected that the home player would be criticized by the home fans, which made the Lakers players feel speechless and laugh and cry.

At this time, the Rockets had to replace them

When the main player comes back, the situation of the Rockets has improved a lot o

At this time, as the team's star, Harden also began to explode, making two consecutive three-pointers, and then another breakthrough layup successfully made a three-pointer, leading the Rockets to a small high-sum

On the Lakers' game, physical fitness problems were highlighted at this time. They fought back to back, and they had just finished playing against the powerful Warriors. The Rockets were not weak teams. Whether it was Chen Feng or Xiao Meng, Yu Qian, and Love, there were physical problems, and their shooting rate began to decline.

In this way, the Rockets seized the opportunity and further expanded the score difference.

In the end, the entire game ended, and the Lakers defeated the Lakers 128:121 and won the victory of this game o

In this game, Chen Feng scored 26 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal; Yu Qian scored 21 points, 5 rebounds; Xiao Meng scored 15 points, 13 rebounds; Love 18 points, 11 rebounds, and the four-man performance cannot be said to be poor, but the overall shooting rate is not very high. O, the other people in the Lakers, and the shooting rate is also not high.

After losing this game, the Lakers' record became 18 wins and 1 loss. Although the winning streak was terminated, their ranking was still the best in the West.

On the plane from Houston to Los Angeles, everyone didn't say much. First, they were tired, and second, they were the end of the winning streak. Although everyone worked hard, they were still not in a good mood.

Seeing this, Scott didn't say anything. He was in a bad mood. Although he could figure it out, who would like to lose?

But Scott was the coach after all, and he adjusted quickly.

The day after returning to Los Angeles, the team trained, Scott gathered everyone and did some ideological work for everyone: "We lost the game yesterday, and the winning streak ended. I was in a bad mood, but I only gave me one night. This morning, when I got up from bed, I told myself that the past has passed, and you must forget the past so that you can face the future better."

"I need you to do the same, tell yourself that we should look forward to the failure of one game or the failure of several games, which is actually nothing to us." Scott paused and emphasized his tone, "For us, the key is the playoffs o."

Everyone was shocked and their eyes lit up

For the Lakers' current strength, there is no suspense in entering the playoffs. The question is just how far they are to enter the playoffs with.

So, Scott said something right. For them, the most important thing is the playoffs. Even if you win 82 wins in the regular season, if you lose the playoffs and cannot win the championship, it will be useless.

Just like the Warriors, 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season, unprecedented, but in the end they lost the championship and became the laughing stock of the public.

The Lakers don't want to be a laughing stock, so the regular season is just a prelude to them. A loss in one or two games is actually nothing.

"Coach o" Chen Feng spoke first and said loudly: "I understand o"

"We are also o" others also spoke o

"Yeah," Scott nodded, relaxed, waved his hand, and smiled, "Spread, train!"
