Andy's face grew worse as he watched Battier, who was cleaning up and preparing to go to the hospital under the leadership of the team doctor to deal with the wound again, shed blood on the field and sewed up the corner of his eyes with four stitches.

Although Bryant still got the highest score of 32 points in this game, he got it in 14-for-31 shots under the strict defense of injured Battier. Whether he wants to admit it or not, Kobe Bryant's Black Mamba can't be prevented by defense. Battier's defense of Kobe Bryant is a bit of experience. Now, depending on his situation, he can't play in the next game 。

"Take good care of your injuries and have a good rest!"

Andy patted Battier on the shoulder to pacify him. After chatting with other players, Andy left the dressing room and ignored the reporters' entanglement. In the player channel, he happened to meet coach Nelson Sr. who was going to call Yao to attend the post match press conference.

"Coach, just in time, I have something to ask you." Andy shook hands with the smiling old Nelson after winning the game.

Old Nelson asked curiously, "boss, what's the matter?"

"Let's go there and talk." Andy saw the reporter in the picture, frowned slightly, motioned to old Nelson, and then walked to a corner together to let the bodyguards block the media.

"Coach, I shouldn't have interfered in the team's affairs, but I just saw Battier's injury. Vujacic deliberately elbowed, and Kobe Bryant obviously deliberately pressed Battier under his body..."

At first, Nelson thought that the boss was going to say something to himself. When he heard this, he had a helpless smile on his serious face and said, "no way, boss, this is the playoffs. It's different from the regular season. It's tough. If he is kind to his opponent, he will be overwhelmed by his opponent."

"Ha ha, yes, this is the playoffs, and the playoffs have always been full of intrigue, especially after the home defeat, all kinds of" conspiracy "have to be prevented." Andy has a smile on his face, a sharp eye in his eyes, and a bit of sarcasm in his tone. He continues: "as we all know, the Lakers are Kobe's own team. We humiliated them for 32 points in the first game. In order to win, this black mamba will spare no effort..."

The old Nielsen was stunned at first. He restrained his smile and looked at the boss with a meaningful expression. His pupils shrank slightly. After a moment of meditation, he nodded and said, "thank you for reminding me. I will have a way to deal with it."

"Ha ha, that's OK. I can't see my own losses. I don't want to interfere with your coach's work." Andy knows that old Nelson understands what he means, chuckles and jokes, "after all, it's the playoffs."

"Yeah, it's the playoffs!" Old Nelson also said a meaningful sentence. As the NBA manager, he is also very clear that the next one, the shit luck Zen master, will definitely play rogue to freeze Yao, and may not be able to play Blackhand.

"Well, I won't delay the coach. I'm looking forward to winning the game in three days." Andy, with a warm smile on his face, shook hands with old Nelson and left.

Old Nelson looked at the back of the young boss who was surrounded by many bodyguards. His eyes narrowed slightly, he shook his head and went to the changing room of the Rockets.

At this time, the time for reporters to interview in the locker room of the Rockets is over. When old Nelson came in, the rest players stopped and looked at the coach.

"Ha ha, everyone did well tonight. We surprised a lot of people...... However, this is only the first game, and Battier is still injured, and Mutombo is injured in the first round and can't play any more. In the next game, the Lakers will definitely fight back. So, it's good to be happy. It's not the time to relax completely. After all, our goal is to win the championship. "

" kill the Lakers and win the championship! "

"Kill the Lakers and win the championship!"

When old Nelson talked about the championship, all the players' eyes were shining. Not only did they shout excitedly, but they all shouted. When old Nelson saw that the morale was so high, he nodded reassuringly.

"OK, everyone, get ready to go back to the hotel and have a rest. Yao, you and I will attend the press conference later."

"Okay, coach." Yao smiled and began to tidy up his shoes.

Wearing only one pair of shorts and showing his steel like muscle, Artest came to old Nelson and volunteered: "coach, let me defend Kobe Bryant next time. I'm an old opponent with him. I'm familiar with his attack."

Looking at Artest, he frowned and said, "you should know how annoying Kobe's star post is. Once you are provoked, can you ensure that you can keep calm?"

"I try to..." Artest himself did not dare to say full, some depressed said.

"You can defend Kobe, as long as you don't challenge the referee, I don't want to see you kicked out of the court." Old Nelson smiled and said, his eyes twinkled with cold light. After hesitating, he lowered his head slightly and approached Artest. He lowered his voice and said, "treat Kobe at all costs!"Artest's pupil suddenly shrank, then he looked at the old coach with a serious look and firm eyes, and immediately made sure he didn't hear me wrong. Then he grinned with a big white tooth and said: "ha ha, I will make his legs soft!"

With a faint smile, old Nelson reached out and patted the ferocious Artest on the shoulder. "Have a good rest!"

"Ah!"

Artest turned to do a raise arms bodybuilding movement, the whole body muscle expansion, raised his head and roared, attracted the eyes of the dressing room, and began to laugh and scold Artest, who was suddenly nervous.

At this moment, Artest is looking forward to the next game, and his death elbow will reappear in the Jianghu again!

The next day, because of a period of time before the game, many people are speculating about how the Rockets lost the second round of the playoffs. However, the answer of the Rockets is more like a "slap in the face". They beat the seemingly inescapable Lakers 100-92 away from home and made a good start. At the same time, they took the lead in grabbing home advantage as they did against the Blazers.

In the whole game, the Rockets always suppressed the Lakers, and Yao reflected the role of a leader. He not only got the highest 28 points and 10 rebounds, but also gave his teammates a boost after he was injured, which had a huge deterrent effect on the Lakers. Whether the Rockets can finally pass the Lakers, their first performance has actually been conquered all.

Of course, apart from the displeasure of the Lakers and their fans, maybe Tracy McGrady is the only one who is extremely upset. You should know that the frustrated player is a former boss who is despised by his words before the game.

“。。。 According to the normal analysis, the strength of the Lakers should be above the Rockets, and their goal is to regain the championship, but in the game with the Rockets, it's hard to say that they chose the technique of "three abuses". From this point of view, the Lakers' championship road is still difficult to rest assured. "

Andy looked at the report in the Los Angeles Times and couldn't help chuckling. Sure enough, it's the most intimate media of his own. Andy won't let Battier's injury go so easily. After last night's game, he called the management to appeal and asked the NBA to pursue the punishment of Vujacic who deliberately elbowed Battier.

Although NBA officials have yet to give a response, according to past practice, Vujacic's punishment is doomed.

"Honey, are you sure the threat of H1N1 can be removed?" Ivana, with two cups of fresh juice and two pieces of silks and nightgowns, walked to the sofa and sat down. She frowned and handed Andy a glass of fruit and vegetable juice. She asked anxiously. "It's important to know that there has been a confirmed patient who has failed to respond. The number of cases in California continues to increase, with 128 newly diagnosed cases, ranking second in the United States. "

"Ha ha, don't worry, that patient has many diseases. It's impossible to tell whether it's the cause of influenza A. Relax, don't worry. " Andy took the juice, frowned and said, curling his mouth.

"The paper said that the Bill Gates Foundation has decided to put $100 million into the research and development of influenza A vaccine. Are we doing something?" Ivana read the headline in the newspaper that "the number of confirmed cases of influenza A (H1N1) in the United States has risen to 896.".
