In the end, the Rockets beat the Lakers 116 to 91 and achieved a six-game winning streak in the preseason.

The Rockets are in full bloom in this game. The whole team scored 8 double figures and scored a complete victory.

The fans on the scene can be said to be tremendous. Not only did the Rockets win, but Sun Yue also performed well, which was considered a great consummation.

After the interview, the reporter on the spot naturally asked about Sun Yue's performance and staying with the team.

Tang Tian was not stingy at this time. He generously praised Sun Yue's performance. As for the problem of staying in the team, he still said the same as before. This was not his decision.

Ended the Shanghai team's game, both teams ushered in a two-day break.

In addition to arranging daily training, Tang Tian also went to the headquarters of Ali. As one of the minority shareholders, although small, it is also a part of it.

After learning the internal information and knowing that Ali will have a new financing plan in the next month, he also asked the management of Tangtian Company to gather funds to prepare to increase his share in Ali.

After two days of rest, the two teams moved to Macau for the second round.

Because of historical relations, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are relatively culturally developed areas. This game also attracted many stars to watch the game.

In the preparation ceremony before the game, singer Mo Wenwei from Hong Kong also sang a song, which attracted a lot of cheers.

In addition to stars, the audience is also more diverse, not only reflected in nationality and skin color, but also the proportion of fans, at least 30% of the Lakers in this game.

Different audiences, different openings, the game process has become different.

The Rockets took Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady in turn. Billups, Gasol and Petrus made their debut.

The Lakers' lineup remained unchanged from the previous game.

The two teams played very anxiously since the opening. Kobe Bryant had a very good feeling. Petrus' defense on several occasions failed to prevent him from scoring.

Played halftime, the Lakers led 56-46, Kobe contributed 26 points in the first half.

Originally expected that the two sides will be more intense in the second half of the game, but the Lakers coach Phil Jackson sent a substitute lineup directly in the second half. Kobe sat in a suit and chatted with his teammates. It seems that the second half will not be on.

Such a decision also makes the game end in advance.

In the end, the Rockets' bench strength was even better. The team finally beat the Lakers 98-92, ushered in two consecutive victories in the Chinese game, and also a seven-game winning streak in the preseason.

The preseason victory and loss are insignificant, but it ended in a full victory, which is obviously good news for the Rockets.

After returning to Houston after the Chinese game, the relaxed expression on the players' faces can be seen.

The players are very relaxed, but the Rockets coaching staff is not easy. The week before the end of the preseason is the regular season, the team must be reduced to 15 people before then.

There are currently 18 people on the roster, and three people have no guaranteed contracts. They are Keith Butler, Mike Harris and John Lucas III.

Butler had few appearances in 7 preseason games. He only played 2 games, averaging 1.2 points and 0.8 rebounds per game. It was basically a definite decision to give up.

Is who is a little trouble to stay in the backcourt.

Although Harris is only 1.98 meters tall, he weighs 110 kilograms and has good mobility. He can play 1 to 4 positions. He is a multi-functional player. He played 4 games in 7 games this time, and one of them was a shooting guard. The main rotation, averaging 4.3 points and 2.2 rebounds, shooting 47%.

Lucas III is the son of Rockets assistant Lucas II and an old acquaintance of the team. This preseason has a lot of opportunities, including 6 games in 7 games, averaging 5.4 points and 2.1 assists per game. , The hit rate reached 56%, the state is very good.

In addition to these three people, Francis has a short playing time and no samples. Gasol and Landry have played very well and basically will not be laid off. The only thing that is in competition with these three people is Sun Yue.

Sun Yue played 4 games in 7 games, including two Chinese games, averaging 2.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 rebounds. He shot 31% from the field. To be honest, if it were not for the outbreak of the first game in China, his statistics would only be more Ugly.

Just as Tang Tian judged, he cannot play NBA level games with his current strength.

"Talk about your own ideas, who is more suitable to stay." The regular meeting of the coaching staff, Tang Tian discussed with the teaching assistants.

"I think staying with John, he has experience, the team also needs him to act as this fourth point guard." Thibodeau gave him advice.

Lucas II was also at the meeting place. Although the father-son relationship in the United States was not as close as that from China, when Sibodu finished his speech, Lucas II still cast a grateful glance at him.

"I also think it is more appropriate to stay with John."

"Yes, he is in good shape this year and deserves the opportunity to stay in the team."

"Mike and Sun seem very comprehensive, but in fact they can't be mixed in the NBA, they will only be left to waste places."

Uh ...

Other teaching assistants have also given their opinions one after another. All of them support Lucas III ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Seeing that the opinions are so unified, it seems that there is no need to continue the discussion.

Tang Tianzheng was preparing to draw conclusions, he suddenly found that Cole had not yet spoken.

"Steve, what is your opinion?"

Cole saw that so many people agreed that he did n’t want to talk, but Tang Tian asked him, and he did n’t hide, and he said, "My thoughts may be a bit different from everyone. I think this fifteenth person, regardless Whoever we stay, he will not have too much playing time in the new season. "

Tang Tian nodded, instructing Cole to continue.

"So I value the potential more than strength. Sun left a deep impression on me in the first game of China. His shooting needs to be improved, but his ability on the defensive end is obvious to all. Basketball in the future is definitely going fast. In the direction of development, a defender like him has room for survival, and because of his height, he has a good pass vision, coupled with a good moving speed, I think he also has the potential to become a point guard. "

Cole finished, Tang Tian nodded.

This analysis is correct. In fact, he had the idea of ​​staying in Lucas III before the Chinese game, but after Sun Yue played the characteristics in that game, he felt that if he trained in place, he still had the potential to be a third point guard.

The teaching assistants all gave their opinions, and in the end, Tang Tian and the management felt the most.

Tang Tian came to Morey with the discussion results of the meeting.

Morey's point of view is somewhat different from that of Cole, but the views are the same.

A point guard league like Lucas III grabbed a lot and could sign at any time, but Sun Yue's performance in that game left a deep impression on him, and he was a rookie and had room for training.

Finally, after the two discussed, the fifteenth person in the team was determined to be Sun Yue.
