Chapter 911 Houston Softfoot Shrimp Team

LA-G.F-CO, the latest and most luxurious nightclub in Los Angeles.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Harden threw a handful of banknotes into his mouth, immediately attracting several beauties to scramble.

Next to him, two black girls who looked like high school students were sitting on Howard's lap, and Howard's originally dark skin turned rosy under the stimulation of alcohol.

On the bar outside, Parsons was surrounded by a bunch of beauties. Except for the accident that Nick Yang found, even those who came to the nightclub were attracted by Parsons. His handsome appearance is really nothing to say , No matter where you go, there is no shortage of women's popularity, and you can ask girls without spending money at all.

Asik, Motiejunas and Casspi, these three are European players, and they don't have a deep understanding of the American nightclub culture, and they seem a little cautious.

Beverly and Cannan are the ones who had the most fun. They were players with a basic salary. It was impossible for them to spend as much money as Harden and Howard did at nightclubs. Now that they met rich local tyrants for treats, they naturally had a good time. .

At four o'clock in the morning, the generals of the Rockets came out of the nightclub. In the arms of Harden, Howard and the others, they each held two girls. The other players of the Rockets were also accompanied by beauties.

"Los Angeles is amazing!" Beverly couldn't help but sigh.

...

Rockets coach McHale stood by the side of the training field with a livid face. He looked at his watch. It was already 9:15 in the morning, but only half of the Rockets players had come.

"Where are you guys! Where did you go! Why don't you come? It was agreed to start training at 9 o'clock, so you have to come here fifteen minutes earlier to warm up and get used to the environment! It's good now, it's been more than 15 minutes Why hasn't anyone come yet!" McHale's eyes were narrowed, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

Finally, Beverly arrived late. When he walked into the training ground, he shrank his neck in fright when he saw Coach McHale's gloomy face.

Beverly's training is very active on weekdays, otherwise Jeremy Lin would not be squeezed out of the starting lineup. And Beverly is still a player with a basic salary. Every time he loses a ball, he has to work hard for his future. If he doesn't get the coach's favor, he might lose his job directly.

At this time, Beverly finally regretted it. If he hadn't played too indulgently last night, he wouldn't be late today.

But Beverly really hasn't seen the world much. He went to a public middle school when he was a child. People who go to public middle schools in the United States are generally not rich or poor, and they have always received a basic salary. They must be reluctant to spend a lot of money on women on weekdays. Even a nightclub guy like Harden couldn't stand the scene last night, let alone Beverly the Cock.

Next, good friends Parsons and Jeremy Lin also came. Although Parsons also receives a basic salary, he is now a top striker in the NBA and will definitely receive a maximum salary in his next contract, so he is not as scared as Beverly. And when he saw that neither Harden nor Howard had come, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, James (Harden) and Dwight (Howard) haven't come yet, the coach will not punish us, let's warm up first." Parsons said.

After a while, Howard arrived at the training ground.

"Hey, hey..." Seeing McHale's murderous eyes, Howard grinned, showing his big white teeth, and laughed like a child. As for Howard's smile, McHale was really at a loss. The entire team knew that Howard was a big kid, and people with this personality really couldn't be disciplined.

Finally, the bearded Harden appeared in the training hall. Harden drooped his eyes several times, as if he hadn't woken up, looked carefully, his eyes were still bloodshot, obviously he was overworked last night.

"This guy must have gone to a nightclub last night! No, it should be that these guys have all gone to a nightclub! Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to be late, and Harden would spoil them all!" McHale was furious. There's a game coming up tonight, and these guys were hanging out at nightclubs last night!

"I have known for a long time that this result will come when I come to Los Angeles." McHale is also quite helpless in his heart. He wanted to punish Harden, but he was the team's number one star, and McHale couldn't use too aggressive methods.

Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the United States, and the nightlife here is even richer than that of New York and Miami. For nightclub cafes like Harden and big kids like Howard, Los Angeles is indeed too attractive.

In addition, the All-Star Game has just ended, and Harden and Howard are both going to participate in the All-Star Game. It is also normal that they have not come out of the All-Star entertainment state.

The most important point is that the Rockets will play back-to-back away games, so if the game is over, the Rockets will have no time to enjoy the nightlife in Los Angeles, which is why Harden can't wait.

"Start training!" McHale snorted coldly, but he could feel that with Harden's current state, the training was probably mostly coping.

...

On the evening of February 19th local time in the United States, the Rockets challenged the Los Angeles Lakers away.

"What's wrong with Harden tonight? He has no touch. He made zero of five three-pointers. Even the speed of the breakthrough seems to be half a beat slow. The key point is that the hit rate of the serve is not high. He made four of six free throws and less than a hundred. Seventy percent hit rate!"

"Did Howard become a soft guy? Not only did Gasol dunk him on the head, but even Jordan Hill attacked Howard. It is said that Gasol played softly. Why is Howard better than Gasol today? Even softer, is this still the 'Warcraft' we know!"

"Parsons was robbed again. This is his fifth mistake! Usually Parsons is one of the best in efficiency. Today, the Rockets lost 10 points just by making a mistake."

"Beverly fouled again. Look, so many fouls, he was replaced! Usually Beverly's defense is very aggressive, but today there is only aggression, but no defense. This is playing, It’s not everyone, such a big foul, the referee is really blind!"

"Look at McHale's face, the frown is about to squeeze out oil."

"Nonsense, the Rockets played so badly today, and almost no one is in shape, can McHale not be in a hurry!"

"The first game after the All-Star Game played this virtue. It seems that the Rockets had too much fun in the All-Star Game, and they haven't recovered their game status yet."

"Look at today's Rockets, they need speed but no speed, they need confrontation and no confrontation, they need to be accurate or not, they can't play tactics, and they even lose defensive rebounds... I don't think they can be called the Houston Rockets today, they should be called Houston Softfoot. The shrimp team is it!"

Among people's discussions, the Lakers' lead has reached as much as 30 points.

Gasol, who just came back, was in a brave state, and got a double-double in the first three quarters. Another insider, Kaman, also found that Howard is easy to bully today. He played against Howard with all kinds of backs. It was because of his height and arm length that Howard suffered repeatedly.

The touch of the outside players of the Lakers can only be regarded as mediocre today. Blake, Marshall, and Wesley Johnson can only be regarded as ordinary shooting levels, but the opposite Lakers' shooting percentage is really bad, and there are many turnovers. Under the ebb and flow, the Lakers' outside line has become an excellent performer.

After three quarters, the game had lost its suspense. McHale saw this posture and knew that he couldn't win today, so he even went to the full bench. Asik, Motiejunas, Casspi, Brooks and Jeremy Lin are on the field, but the offense is better than the starting lineup. These few people didn't play so crazy in the nightclub last night, and the physical exertion was actually smaller.

However, the hole dug ahead was really too big. A group of substitutes only narrowed the score gap to less than 20 points, and the game was drawing to a close.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 111 to 93 and won four consecutive home games.

...

It was time for the post-match press conference again. Before the coaches of both sides arrived, the reporters discussed the game in groups.

"The Lakers really won! And won so bloodlessly."

"Yeah, the whole Rockets team is sleepwalking today. It doesn't look like they are here to play! The Lakers are so lucky to meet a Rockets team that is not in good shape."

"I just received the latest news. The Rockets went to the newly opened nightclub LA-G.F-CO last night. When Harden and Howard came out, they still had several girls in their arms!"

"No wonder everyone turned into soft-legged shrimps today. It turns out that I went to a nightclub last night. I guess Harden didn't sleep all night! If he is in good condition today, it will be strange!"

"Hey, I really don't want to see Zhang Guan's smug face. He must say again: We are one step closer to the playoffs!"

"Who is the Lakers' opponent next? Is it possible to stop their winning streak?"

"The Lakers still have two home games against the Celtics and the Nets."

"They are all Eastern teams. It seems that Zhang Guan will be proud of two more games! Do we have to wait for the Heat and Spurs to solve the Lakers?"

"Don't wait for the Heat and the Spurs to take action. After the next two home games, the Lakers are going to challenge the Pacers with Indiana! The Pacers are in such a good state this year, and now they are the first in the Eastern Conference. If it is down, the Lakers will definitely lose by then!"

"That's true, but unfortunately, it was the Lakers' away game. I couldn't participate in the press conference after the game, and I couldn't interview Zhang Guan's loss. Such a refreshing thing can only be handed over to my colleagues in Indiana we're here!"
