The god-level lottery of the sports world

In the first defeat, McHale made self-criticism in the post-match press conference, but when Hao Shuai, who asked questions to reporters, came on the field, he still chose to be silent.

The Rockets’ second game was against the Dallas Mavericks on the road, and the Rockets, who were clearly superior on paper, played well in the first half, leading the Dallas by as many as 15 points 50-35, but in the second half, Novitsky and Rockets veteran Chandler Parsons set off a three-point rain to make a 30-12 offensive wave in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Dallas didn’t give the Rockets another chance to rally, and they eventually won the game 106-100, achieving a 15-point comeback.

The Rockets started with a two-game losing streak, compared to the team they made to the Western Conference finals last season.

In Game 3, the Rockets played again, this time against the Thunder led by Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

Against the Mavericks, the team was able to lead in the first half with overall strength, but against the championship-aspiring Thunder, the Rockets collapsed in the opening game.

Harden faced his former teammates, the full court performance can not be described as a bad word, while Westbrook and Durant, outside the three-point line, continue to shoot, feel hot.

In the end, the Rockets suffered a 30-point defeat 90-121.

After the game, the Rockets suffered three straight losses, and the scene was already ringing with McHale’s class.

And sandwiched between these voices is Shanghao Shuai shouted by many fans.

Looking back at the Rockets’ losses in these games this season, first Lillard and McCollum, then Novitsky and Parsons, and now Westbrook and Durant, the most Rockets lost in each game was three-pointers.

Harden is in a slump, not only is his three-point shooting percentage, but after not being able to form enough containment, the Rockets’ other three-point points are not very good, and the results can be imagined.

Harden needs time to adjust to his condition, which fans can more or less understand, after all, his current girlfriend is Khloe Kardashian, but what fans cannot tolerate is that there is a potential three-point shooter sitting on the court, but they will not let it.

This is the most infuriating.

The Rockets suffered three consecutive defeats, Morey privately chatted with McHale, and the sky over the Toyota Center in Houston had been shrouded in a dense dark cloud, and there was a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come.

It was against this backdrop that the Rockets faced the defending champion Warriors back-to-back at home.

Because the team suffered three consecutive defeats, poor form, and the opponent was the powerful Warriors, the attendance rate of the Toyota Center in this game was only about 80%, a new low in recent seasons, which may be due to the opponent being the Warriors, otherwise the attendance would only be more dismal.

The Rockets are not comparable to the Warriors in terms of paper strength or form, and the preseason suffered a major defeat before the Warriors did not give their all, and in the official regular season, they were unable to parry.

As soon as the game started, it seemed to be this rhythm, and the Warriors, led by Stephen Curry and Clay Thompson’s three-point rain, finished the quarter and led the Rockets by as many as 15 points, 43-28.

A rout is inevitable.

And at this moment, those sunspots in China reached an unprecedented point of excitement.

“There are rumors that Hao Shuai has asked the team to trade him, and this kind of player who can’t play wants to be traded, I guess he will be cut in a few days!”

“I admire Hao Shuai’s face, if it weren’t for the fact that he is from the Celestial Empire, the rocket team would have cut him a long time ago, and now he is dead there, is it really embarrassing?”

“In fact, don’t say, I really envy Hao Shuai, you don’t have to play, just sit on the sidelines, you can get the money we can’t get in our lifetime, and you are still sitting in the most expensive position in the front row!”

……

Hao Shuai was still sitting at the end of the Rockets bench, and McHale was overwhelmed by the situation in front of him, but he never glanced in the direction he was sitting.

“Hao Shuai! We need Hao Shuai! ”

“Shanghao Shuai!”

When the first and second quarters were paused, I don’t know who started, and the voices of the fans at the scene ranged from small to loud, and finally to deafening, neat, all of them were shouts for Hao Shuai to play.

It’s not a whim of the fans, it’s actually the cumulative result of the fact that they really desperately need to see the three-point shooter against the Clippers again.

At first, McHale pretended not to hear it, but the sound of the crowd, even the home camera was pointed at Hao Shuai, he really couldn’t bear the pressure, and said hello to Bikestaff.

Bickstaff walked quickly to Hao Shuai and motioned for him to come off the bench.

Hao Shuai also didn’t expect such a scene on the scene, but he has been doing basic training during this time, so he is ready to play at any time.

Seeing Hao Shuai begin to take off his training clothes and was about to play, the fans at the scene immediately burst into deafening cheers.

“Who is that?” On the bench of the Warriors, Curry saw this bizarre scene on the scene and couldn’t help but turn to Thompson and asked.

“I don’t know, I don’t know him, I haven’t seen him before, maybe a rookie?” Thompson was also a little confused.

“That’s Hao Shuai, this year’s NCAA MOP, Kevin mentioned it to me before.” Draymond Green spoke at this time, pointing to the rookie at the end of the bench, Kevin Looney from UCLA who was one place higher than Hao Shuai.

“Oh, so that’s the case, his popularity in Houston is very high? But why didn’t he play in the previous preseason? Curry asked suspiciously.

“Who knows? Maybe this is their nucleus . Weapons bar. Green said lightly.

Green’s words drew a burst of laughter from Thompson and Curry, and apparently, it was a joke.

“To be honest, pinning my hopes on a rookie who hadn’t played much before, and for the first time I found out how cute Houston fans were.” Thompson said with a smile.

“Let’s see, maybe he can bring us some surprises?” Curry said and looked at Hao Shuai, who had already played.

“Yes, hopefully, if we keep winning like this, it is really not conducive to our defense of the title.” Thompson nodded along and said.

Hao Shuai came on to replace Jason Terry, which caused a huge cheer from the fans.

This is really, a thousand calls have come out!

ps: The state was average some time ago, but now it has been adjusted back.
