Hao Shuai scored 4 3-pointers in the final moments of the game, contributing 40 points, 10 boards, 13 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks.

Of course, compared to Hao Shuai’s performance, the recovery of teammates is the biggest gain of this game, Harden also contributed 32 points on 12-of-20 shooting, and the Rockets’ shooting rate exceeded 50%, a qualitative improvement from 18% on the court.

The Rockets’ performance also drew another war of words from American fans, but unlike after the first game, this time it was the pro-Rockets media and fans who prevailed.

“I think the thing that Marv [Albert] should have forgotten is that the Rockets’ offensive firepower is actually not much worse than that of the Warriors.” Barkley made no secret of his pride in the show.

This victory can be said to give Rockets fans hope, which is completely different from the narrow victory last season, but it is really powerful.

Some people even found that if it weren’t for the other players on the Rockets playing too badly, the Rockets would have been 2-0 Warriors at this time.

However, the Rockets won, the most excited is not the Rockets players, nor Houston fans, but far across the coast of the Celestial Empire fans, according to statistics, the well-known Celestial Empire basketball website Tiger Pounce NBA posted more than 50,000 posts about the Rockets in one day, the entire server crashed 10 times in a row, almost did not paralyze the website.

Looking at the leopard, you can see how much impact the Rockets team led by Hao Shuai has in the Celestial Empire to win the first victory in the Western Final, and it can be 100% sure that the Rockets have once again become the home team of the vast majority of Celestial Empire fans.

“We can’t wait to see the moment when the Rockets win the championship, and I believe that the whole Celestial Empire will be really crazy by then, and I can even believe that basketball will become the number one sport in the Celestial Empire.” The remarks of a netizen named Xincheng Xinchen on Weibo have received hundreds of thousands of likes, which is not just a person’s idea, but the expectation of the vast majority of fans.

The third game between the two sides will be played at the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets, and the Rockets return home and the whole of Houston is plunged into a frenzy.

In fact, many Celestial Empire fans are already unwilling to just wait in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast, according to the statistics of the Toyota Center Ticket Sales Department, more than 2,000 Tianchao fans have obtained tickets through different channels, which sets a record for the stadium.

The existence of Hao Shuai has made the Toyota Center the home of half of the Celestial Dynasty.

What is more noteworthy is that Yao Ming once again appeared in the Toyota Center, but this time not only him, but also the head coach of the Celestial Empire, Gong Luming.

The Celestial Empire team is going to play in the Olympics this summer, and Gong Luming is obviously rushing to Hao Shuai.

What makes fans even more excited is that after winning the Warriors in World War II, the league arranged this game among the commentators who have just become ESPN commentators, Tracy McGrady, and he is paired with former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy.

This arrangement has made the Rockets team also morale, and during pregame training, Harden said in an interview with the media that the only thing they want to do when they return home is to win.

The Rockets side is full of morale, and the Warriors side is not to be outdone.

Draymond Green, who was beaten up by Hao Shuai last game, did not learn his lesson, and he still made a big statement when interviewed by reporters: “We will win the game the way we do, we will return to Golden State with a 3-1 lead.” ”

The interview was magnified on the LED screen, which immediately attracted a chorus of boos from fans, but Green was thick-skinned and kept smiling, looking at his confident appearance, and did not know what the way he said it.

After the pre-match warm-up, it was quickly time for the introduction of the starters.

When Hao Shuai was introduced, the entire stadium resounded with boiling cheers, Hao Shuai averaged 46 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists in the first two games, and was the absolute core of the team.

These cheers, mixed with the shouts of many Celestial Dynasty people, this game eventually had 4,000 people to watch the scene, which was more than double the data previously released by the Toyota Center, accounting for one-fifth of the live audience.

Hao Shuai waved his hand and signaled to the audience, and when he saw the kind faces of the Celestial Empire, his heart couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Seeing so many supportive faces in a foreign country, the excitement in my heart is really indescribable.

Retracting his hand, his heart was already full of fighting intent, just for the sake of these 4,000 spectators who came from far away, he had to win this game no matter what.

After the players were introduced, the starters from both sides followed.

Neither side has made any adjustments in the starting lineup.

After the game started, to the cheers of the home fans, the Rockets played more momentum than the last game.

Not only the starters, but also the substitutes, but also played 120% of the strength in the momentum of the home stadium.

By more than six minutes into the second quarter, the Rockets were already leading the Warriors by 12 points, 60-48.

The teammates played well, and Hao Shuai played easily.

In an attack by the Rockets, Hao Shuai dribbled the ball past Barnes’ defense with five fingers, saw that Howard was running, and threw the ball directly into the air.

Green originally came to help defend Hao Shuai, saw Hao Shuai pass the empty catch, turned around and went back to defense, but it was obviously too late.

“Boom!”

Howard grabbed the ball with both hands in the air and slammed it into the basket through Green.

The huge impact force directly flew out of Grimm, and he fell directly to the ground with his butt.

After Howard landed, his hands kept slapping on his chest, and he roared excitedly into the sky.

“Toot!”

The courtside referee followed the whistle and reached out to Green, signaling Green’s defensive foul.

When this penalty came out, the scene immediately fell into cheers.

How long had it been since they saw Howard finish this kind of empty connection!

Hao Shuai was also energetic at this time, waving up to the audience.

The cheers were even louder, and huge decibels echoed over the arena.

Howard came over and bumped Hao Shuai in the chest at this time, obviously he was able to complete this ball, and Hao Shuai’s pass was decisive.
