The Godfather of Basketball

James came with determination and confidence, which can be felt from his pre-match interview.

But he was afraid that Artest would bring such a big change to the Rockets.

Scola and Morrow, two players who were originally defensive loopholes, are just like playing stimulants on the court. They are fighting hard in defense. The offensive Rockets are also all people. They are not afraid of confrontation. Uncomfortable.

After halftime, the Cavaliers fell 10 points behind the Rockets 46-56.

The fans at home are excited.

Basketball has always been a **** sport, and Artest's injection of boiling blood into the Rockets has made them more and more fond of this team.

Back in the second half, the Cavaliers 'perimeter feel dropped sharply, and the Rockets' advantage was more obvious.

The Cavaliers only scored 12 points in the third quarter. By the end of the third quarter, the Rockets' lead had reached 20 points.

In the last quarter, the Cavaliers played for three minutes and announced their abandonment. The Rockets' bench group continued to make the gap worse.

In the end, the Rockets tortured their opponents 101-74 and ushered in a big victory after the All-Star Game.

Yao Ming scored 27 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. McGrady scored 21 points and 7 rebounds. Billups and Yi Jianlian both had 14 points.

Artest contributed 11 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 steal in the Rockets' first show.

Although he didn't score much because he was not familiar with the relationship of the team system, the toughness he brought to the team was far more important than a few points.

The 27-point Cavaliers-to-Blood League Cavaliers also made other teams realize that the deal the Rockets made in the past trade deadline was a "robber" comparable to the original Lakers' big Gasol.

Of course, this sound is not loud, after all, this is just a game.

On February 22, after a two-day break, the Rockets once again faced their rival Jazz.

The Jazz have fared worse than the previous two seasons, and are currently competing for the playoffs with the Suns, Hornets and Mavericks.

Only less than the last 30 games since the end of the regular season, any game is very important for them.

Despite the poor record and iron blood, this team's style is still the place where they have an advantage over the Rockets over the past two years.

But the third matchup between the two seasons was a surprise.

After the Rockets opened the game, they faced the Jazz with you. You did my little moves, and I had the opportunity to engage you too. If I got the chance, I would hit you hard.

In the middle of the game, the Rockets held a more than ten-point lead, but the Jazz team was annoyed in the end. Boozer and Oku put down Artest and Scola several times and the result was successively. Both were ejected by the referee.

In the end, the Rockets were also invincible. They defeated the Jazz 98-71 at home and ushered in three consecutive victories.

Yao Ming and McGrady are still both 20+, Billups, Yi Jianlian, Scola, and Sun Yue have scored in double figures.

Artest also continued to play stably, playing 6 of 10 shots in 30 minutes, contributing 16 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

The momentum demonstrated by the entire Rockets team is not only the Jazz who just lost, but other teams in the league feel a palpitation.

After all, the Rockets are the enemy of the league!

Now they found that this public enemy was not only powerful, but also looked invincible.

On February 23, the Rockets faced the Warriors back-to-back.

The Warriors disintegrated at the beginning of the season and have only won 20 games so far this season.

Facing such an opponent, the Rockets also outplayed their opponents 112-91, expanding their winning streak to four games.

Artest also ushered in his first outbreak after joining the Rockets. He scored 9 of 15 shots and contributed 25 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

On February 25, the Rockets went to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers.

The 76ers are also fighting for playoff spots, and they are also sparing no effort to play the Rockets.

However, after the game started, they found that their efforts were completely useless.

How can I compete with Yao Ming, McGrady, Billups, Igodala, Andre Miller, and Thaddeus Young?

Fighting for role players is even better.

Of course, the most important thing is that Artest came off the bench. After a wave of shock, the Rockets' lead is amazing.

After the three quarters, the 76ers were almost 30 points behind.

In the end, the Rockets also outplayed their opponents by 109 to 81, expanding their winning streak to five games.

Yao Ming easily scored a triple-double with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

"It's not fair." After the game, the 76ers' main striker Sadis Young said helplessly to reporters.

After Yi Jianlian's rise, the Rockets' lineup is already the strongest in the league. Now it is unfair to add another Artest.

But that's the truth. Unfairness has to be fought.

The Rockets won the 76ers. In the rest of February, the Bulls and Eagles were cut off and the winning streak expanded to seven games.

In these seven games, the Rockets averaged 25.7 points victory over their opponents.

The time has come for February 28, when the alliance once again fell into turmoil.

The previous trade deadline indicates that the trade dust of each team is settled, but it does not mean that the lineup of each team cannot be changed.

March 1 is also a crucial date for the NBA teams, especially the playoffs, or the team that is impacting the playoffs, because this day is the buyout deadline.

Only players who have been bought out before this day can sign a playoff team and qualify for the playoffs.

At this time, the teams in the playoffs or impacting the playoffs, and the teams with quotas, are where they want to go most.

For example, the Rockets.

The Rockets have basically been stable before the trade deadline in the first two years, so they will not pay too much attention to this one, but this year is different. In the previous deal obtained by Artest, the team paid 3 players. Finally Gained 2 players. After Ewing was cut, there are only 13 players on the team list.

This means that the Rockets still have 2 signing places.

This includes even the exception of the middle class that the Rockets haven't used before.

(Note: The luxury tax offline team has a special case of middle class ~ www.readwn.com ~ with a starting salary of 5 million; the luxury tax online team has a mini middle case with a starting salary of 3 million; teams below the salary cap have space (Middle class exception, starting salary of 2.5 million)

A 7-game winning streak in the past half month, averaging a 20+ victory over opponents, and 2 more places, and can also open a contract with an annual salary of 5 million!

For those players who are looking for buyouts, this is almost like a firefly in the night, bright stars, bright dazzling.
