    By the time the game between the Lakers and Jazz was halfway through, the game between the Nuggets and Rockets finally started.

    The Nuggets players also left the locker room and began their last regular season journey of the season.

    The Rockets started all their starts, and you could see from their determined faces that they were determined to win this game. However, after the game started, Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy saw that the Nuggets also started all their starts.  There was a solemn look on his face. The coach, who only took over the coach from Rockets legend Tomjanovich in the second half of last year, showed his strong defensive skills in Houston, but this game was not enough for him.  It is absolutely decisive, and because he fell behind 1-3 against the Jazz in the regular season, he also felt unprecedented pressure.

    However, the whistle on the sidelines quickly brought him back to the court. Nene and Yao Ming jumped up from the center of the court at the same time. Yao Ming pushed the ball back to the Rockets' half, winning the first place for the Rockets.  opportunity to attack.

    When Van Gundy saw the Rockets taking the lead, he breathed a sigh of relief, recovered his thoughts, and shouted to the Rockets running forward. This coach with an extremely passionate coaching style, for this victory, was in the opening game.  Just turned on the roar mode.

    Anthony was on the court now. When he saw Van Gundy's expression, he couldn't help but smile knowingly. He looked at Yao Ming again and felt even more cordial. However, he knew that there could be no personal emotions on the court, so  He quickly put away his thoughts and turned to defense.

    This is not the first time the Nuggets have played against the Rockets, but it is obvious that the Nuggets' strength has been significantly enhanced compared to before.

    At the beginning of the game, the Rockets continued to focus on the inside. Facing Nene, Yao Ming turned around and hit the hook with ease. Nene was so big, but he seemed helpless, and Brand was too late to help defend at this time. Compared to  With Yao Ming, Mengmeng's height difference makes him look like an outside player.

    Yao Ming hit, but the Nuggets players didn't feel much. They still played at their own pace. Looking back, Anthony used the pick and roll to easily hit a mid-range shot, scoring the first point for the Nuggets.

    After missing a goal, Van Gundy immediately yelled at his teammates to pay attention to the pick-and-roll, which shows the tension in his heart.

    Yao Ming also showed his domineering attitude at this moment. He wanted to maintain his position, and then continued to hit Nenei with his back. The confused Shanghai dance steps suddenly made Nenei dizzy. He forgot the position of the world, and he turned around and fell back.  made a shot and once again scored two points for the Rockets.

    Yao Ming scored easily, and Nene was so angry that he almost jumped up, but Brand stepped up and held him down in time, which made the beast inside calm down a little.

    The Nuggets scored a lot of points. Compared with the Rockets' strong inside attack in the opening game, this time Williams broke through and attracted Yao Ming's defense. He made an incredible assist. After receiving the ball, Nene directly  A three-step split dunk. After the dunk, Tei screamed with excitement, which could be regarded as venting his previous unhappiness.

    The opening rounds became a microcosm of the entire first half. Yao Ming showed strong lethality in the paint. He used his skills to play against Nene, and when facing Brand, he used his height advantage to use small hooks.  The hands and mid-range, just as Anthony had expected, gave the Nuggets' two insiders a headache. In the end, D'Antoni had to send veteran Mutombo, which allowed Yao Ming to relax a little, but Yao Ming reduced  On offense, Francis began to desperately attack the inside again, and Mutombo's slow pace put the Nuggets at a disadvantage. Generally speaking, the impact on the Nuggets' inside was not small in this game.

    However, although Yao Ming was not able to be restrained very well, the situation on the court still favored the Nuggets. Compared with the Rockets' Francis and Yao Ming's offensive focus, the Nuggets were completely more blossoming, and  Their offensive rhythm was very fast. Even if Yao Ming was running back and forth on the court, his physical strength was very exhausted. He had to leave the game just after half a quarter.

    With Yao Ming off the court, the Rockets, who had no advantage in the first place, now seemed even more stretched. In the second half of the first quarter, they were already behind by more than ten points.

    By the end of halftime, the Rockets were trailing by nearly 20 points. Being so far behind, the faces of the Rockets players showed a look of disappointment that was difficult to conceal. However, because it was the home court of the Nuggets, the fans at the scene  Without being able to empathize with the Rockets, they could only endure it alone.

    The halftime of the Nuggets and Rockets ended, and the third quarter of the Lakers and Jazz game had begun. Different from the game here, the Jazz showed strong competitiveness. Although they  Also lagging behind by nearly 15 points, but at the beginning of the third quarter, they beat the Lakers 6-0, and even Kobe almost sprained his ankle during an offense.

    To say that the game on both sides is very intense, it is a must-win game for the Jazz and Rockets, but for the Lakers and Nuggets, winning is their goal, but that is as far as possible  Because if the Jazz and Rockets work hard and use their full strength, they can easily cause injuries. This is certainly not what they want to see.

    So after Kobe's thrilling scene, the Lakers decisively replaced Kobe and O'Neal, leaving only the other three starters with substitutes. This substitution shocked the Jazz's morale, and soon they slowly  to catch up with the score.

    Of course, these all happened during the halftime between the Rockets and Nuggets.

    Because they had already led by so many points in the first half, and the Jazz were likely to win the game, at the beginning of the third quarter, D'Antoni also withdrew the Nuggets' main players in order to prevent players from getting injured. This move,  This gave the originally desperate Rockets hope. They launched a strong offensive firepower at the beginning of the third quarter.

    Although the Nuggets' bench played well, they couldn't help but the double impact of Yao Ming and Francis. After half a quarter of the game, the point difference slowly narrowed from 20 points to about ten points.

    At this time, the Nuggets staff brought bad news to head coach D'Antoni. On the Lakers side, Kobe couldn't sit still after sitting on the court for half a quarter, and took the initiative to ask Ying to play. This time  The Jazz had been beaten back to their original shape by the Lakers and fell behind by more than ten points entering the fourth quarter.

    This news forced the Nuggets to replace their main players.

    Such a dramatic scene made Anthony smile bitterly, take off his coat and follow suit.

    Just like that, without knowing it, the third quarter of the game between the Rockets and the Nuggets ended, and the point difference between the two sides remained about ten points.

    By the end of the third quarter, very bad news came from the Lakers. Kobe guessed Kirilenko's ankle during an attack and left the game early due to injury!

    When Anthony heard the news, his first reaction was to pray that Kobe's injury would not be too serious. Since the All-Stars, he and Kobe have become private friends.

    Kobe was injured, and Jackson no longer dared to step up, so he simply replaced him with a full bench. The Jazz now regained the advantage, staged a big comeback in the fourth quarter, and slowly began to dominate the game on the court.  There is basically no suspense in the game.

    At this time, the information of both teams is exchanged. What is most beneficial to the Nuggets is that the Lakers' game will be played earlier, so they can determine their own game style based on the results. At this time, the Lakers have given up.  In the game, the Nuggets' win or loss became less important, and they quickly withdrew their main force.

    Seeing the Nuggets¡¯ move, the Rockets immediately began a swift counterattack. They repeatedly hit climaxes in the first half of the fourth quarter and quickly evened the point difference.

    However, when the fourth quarter was interrupted, the Nuggets bench was in chaos. It turned out that the game between the Lakers and Jazz was over. The Jazz finally defeated the Lakers 105:96 and was guaranteed to enter the playoffs.  .

    However, the Rockets obviously didn't know the news, or they didn't tell the Rockets players if they knew it. The Rockets' main players were still working hard in the game, and that was until the end of the game. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Nuggets 112:107.  The gold team won the last victory of the season.

    As soon as the game ended, Van Gundy came on the court with a lonely look and hugged the players one by one. The players who were unaware saw the coach's expression and knew the final result. Francis even shed tears. This team member who has been working hard all season  Boss, he couldn't control his emotions. Every Rockets player couldn't hide their frustration. They didn't say anything and just walked towards the locker room.

    Anthony looked at the Rockets with all kinds of emotions in his heart, but that's how winners and losers are. Next year's Rockets will welcome Tracy McGrady to join. I believe they will be in a better mood at that time, but it's a pity that he has a temperamental temper.  Francis may have to wave goodbye to Houston.

    This is the NBA, and the things that players can affect are very weak.

    After the last game, the NBA regular season this season has officially come to an end, and the final records of each team have also been released. In the Western Conference, the Nuggets have a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, leading the Western Conference and occupying the top position.  After the Nuggets, the Timberwolves, Spurs, and Lakers occupy rankings 2 to 4 respectively, forming the upper half of the Western Conference playoffs. In the lower half, the Kings, Mavericks, and Grizzlies occupy 5th place respectively.  Ranked 7th, the Jazz relied on their last victory to finally achieve a record of 43 wins and 39 losses. They successfully defeated the Rockets and fortunately entered the Western Conference playoffs.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)With the victory in the last game, we finally achieved a record of 43 wins and 39 losses, successfully defeated the Rockets, and fortunately entered the Western Conference playoffs.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
