The Rockets easily defeated the visiting Bulls 127-117 at home, winning the league's longest winning streak of seven games! As a result, the Rockets' record has reached 34 wins and 35 losses and they continue to rank eleventh in the Western Conference, but they are very close to making it back to the play-offs! After this game, the Rockets are only 2.5 games behind the tenth Warriors. With 13 games left in the regular season, the Rockets still have a chance to catch up with the Warriors and Lakers who are ahead! Due to the Rockets' recent sudden outbreak, the competition in the play-offs has become even more exciting!
The Rockets won seven consecutive victories. This is definitely something that shocked the entire league! Because after their star Shen Jing suffered a serious injury and fell down, many people thought that the Rockets would withdraw from the play-off competition! But what is unexpected is that they burst out with amazing energy and caught their opponents off guard! I'm afraid the Warriors and Lakers would never have imagined that as the final stage of the regular season approaches, the Rockets would become a major concern for them! This also forces them not to make any mistakes in the future, otherwise they will overturn and lose their qualification for the play-offs.
It is gratifying that the Rockets have maintained a winning streak, but what makes the Rockets even more gratifying in this game is the cohesion of their team! In the middle of the third quarter of the game, an unexpected scene suddenly happened on the field! DeRozan, who was blocked by Jaylen Green and Amen Thompson in the first two rounds of offense, became angry. In the next round, he made a non-basketball retaliatory move against Jaylen Green who was attacking with the ball, causing Jaylen Green to be cruel. He fell hard to the floor. Then Jaylen Green covered his waist in pain and couldn't get up for a long time!
The next turning point in this game happened! After seeing his brother Jaylen Green being bullied by the angry DeRozan, Dillon Brooklyn rushed directly to argue with DeRozan. Although I don’t know what trash talk Dillon spewed, what is certain is that Dillon’s move is to fight against Jaylen Green! Subsequently, DeRozan and Dillon Brooklyn hugged and fell together. Fortunately, the referee on duty and others present struggled to separate the two. Otherwise, a fight scene is very likely to occur!
The referee on duty directly expelled DeRozan and Dillon from the field after watching the live video replay and consulting together. Then the game continues! The Rockets, playing at home, became more and more courageous and firmly took the initiative on the court, and finally successfully defeated the Bulls and won seven consecutive victories! Although
did not follow the team to the last minute, Dillon Brooklyn vividly performed his image of a good-tempered big brother in this game! He can be a villain on the court who constantly makes small moves and even swears at his opponents, but he will definitely stab his own brothers in every possible way, even if he ends up paying the price of being expelled! This is tough guy Dillon Brooklyn, the spiritual leader of the Houston Rockets.
Last summer, the Rockets unexpectedly provided free agent Dillon Brooklyn with a four-year contract worth 86 million. At that time, many people felt that Rockets general manager Stone was acting randomly. He actually offered such a huge contract to Dillon, who performed poorly in the playoffs. Is he out of his mind? As everyone knows, Stone is not only interested in Dillon's tough defense on the court, but also the spiritual leadership role he will play in the team.
Dillon may not have a very explosive offensive performance, but in addition to sparing no effort to contribute energy on the defensive end, he can also stand up and carry the banner when the team needs support. In today's battle with the Bulls, Dillon Brooklyn once again proved that he is worthy of the 4-year, 86 million contract provided by the Rockets. It is absolutely worth the money! Because as long as Dillon Brooklyn is here, no one can touch his Rockets brothers. He was the first to refuse!
