NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

"Okay guys, that's it, we have to get back on the right track, starting tonight!"

Tang Yu clapped his hands to encourage the Rockets players.

Tonight, Anthony and Harden were full of fighting spirit, and both scored in double digits in the first quarter.

Anthony scored 11 points and 5 rebounds, including 3 frontcourt rebounds.

Harden scored 10 points, 4 assists and 2 steals, and was good at both offense and defense.

Even O'Neal laughed in the live broadcast room: "Look, my Houston is back! The red army that frightened the entire league will make everyone tremble again."

"Wow~ That's right, man, this reminds me of the Rockets who won 75 games that season. They completely dominated the game!" Barkley shouted.

Brent Barry added: "It seems that Tang Yu has solved the psychological problems of the players. I am looking forward to the Rockets taking off again!"

After the start of the second quarter, Durant and Harden rested off the court, and Anthony led Jeremy Lin and Xiaoka on the court to lead the Rockets' second lineup.

The other two players in the Rockets' second lineup are Terry and Yao Ming. While ensuring that they can compete with the Grizzlies' inside line, Jeremy Lin can also complete the organizational tasks well.

At 10:03 in the second quarter, the Grizzlies' offense made a mistake, and O.J.-Mayo was a little careless when passing the ball horizontally.

Xiaoka suddenly crossed the passing route, and a big hand cut off the connection between Mayo and Gay.

Xiaoka rushed to the Grizzlies' half court like lightning, and a single fast break dunked with a fire-burning sky!

In the second lineup, the Rockets continued to widen the gap with the Grizzlies. When all the main players returned, the Rockets' lead had reached 28 points.

Until the end of the half, the Rockets led the Grizzlies by 34 points 81-47 at halftime, and the game was almost suspenseful.

Harden and Ibaka both scored double-doubles in the first half, Anthony also scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, and Durant played steadily, scoring 15 points and 3 rebounds with 4 of 5 three-pointers.

O'Neal had packed up his things in the live broadcast room during the halftime break, and was ready to go off work.

Barkley asked, "Shaq, what are you doing?"

"Haha, the game is over, I'm going to go off work!" O'Neal said, pretending to be ready to leave.

There was a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room, and Barkley pulled O'Neal back directly, "Man, this will be deducted! Come back quickly!"

O'Neal sat back in his chair with a pretentious look, and kept saying, "It's over, everything is over!"

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Rockets had an absolute score advantage and it was getting easier and easier.

After the start of the third quarter, the Rockets players were still hot, while the Grizzlies seemed a little overwhelmed.

Harden hit three-pointers in a row from the outside, and Anthony also scored frequently in the interior, and the score gap widened further.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies' offense was completely restricted by the Rockets' defense, and they could only rely on some sporadic scores to maintain the situation.

As the game time passed, the Rockets began to control the rhythm of the game, minimize mistakes, and maintain high-efficiency offense.

After the start of the fourth quarter, both sides directly replaced the full substitute lineup, and the game completely became garbage time.

In the end, the game ended with a score of 134-96. The Rockets defeated the Grizzlies with a huge advantage and ushered in a hearty victory.

Throughout the game, the Rockets crushed the Grizzlies with absolute dominance. Harden, Anthony and Durant all played to their due level.

Harden played 27 minutes in the game and scored 21 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals;

Anthony also played efficiently in his first game as captain, scoring 10 of 17 shots and scoring a game-high 28 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Durant turned into an outside high artillery in this game, scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists with 6 of 7 shots from beyond the three-point line;

Ibaka's performance also returned to his proper level, with 15 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks. His presence made the black and white bears of the Grizzlies useless.

After the game, Tang Yu was asked at the post-game press conference whether the Rockets would go all out to impact the playoffs in the next game.

"We solved some problems during the All-Star Game, and we will get better. Let's see what happens when we enter April."

The day after the game, rumors began to fly in the player trading market.

Tonight will be the last deadline for the trading market, and many teams want to complete reinforcements and release salary space through trades.

The first news came from the Magic. Howard gave up jumping out of the contract and continued to stay with the Magic.

Then the Trail Blazers completed a deal with the Nets.

The Trail Blazers got Okur, Sean Williams andA protected 2012 first-round pick, and the Nets got Gerald Wallace.

The 75ers completed a trade with the Grizzlies, the 75ers will get small forward Sam Young, and the Grizzlies will get the signing rights of Ricky Sanchez.

The Pacers completed a trade with the Raptors, the Pacers will get Leandro Barbosa, and the Raptors will get a second-round pick.

The Lakers have reached a deal with the Cavaliers, the Lakers sent Luke Walton, Jason Kapono and a 2012 first-round protected pick, the Cavaliers sent point guard Omri Casspi and Christian Eyinger, and the Cavaliers got a 2013 first-round pick from the Heat trade.

The Warriors bought a 2012 second-round pick from the Hawks with cash.

The Nuggets, Wizards and Clippers reached a three-way deal. The Wizards got center Nene, the Nuggets got McGee and Turiaf from the Wizards, and the Clippers got forward Nick Young from the Wizards, and traded Brian Cook and a future second-round pick to the Wizards.

Rockets GM Webber also completed a deal, using a 14-year second-round pick plus DeJuan Blair in exchange for Thunder player Sefolosha.

Originally Webber wanted to trade McGrady, but was rejected by Tang Yu.

Although McGrady is only the last player on the team now, he has contributed to the Rockets. This season is likely to be his last season, and Tang Yu also wants McGrady to spend the rest of his career with the Rockets.

After the trade deadline, if the teams want to strengthen again, they can only do so through personnel cuts and the free agent market.

The Rockets' final 15-man roster for this season has been determined.

Point guard: Stephen Curry, Jason Terry, Jeremy Lin;

Shooting guard: James Harden, Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Gerald Green, Thabo Sefolosha;

Small forward: Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard;

Power forward: Serge Ibaka, Carl Landry;

Center: Yao Ming, Greg Oden.

The Rockets will use this lineup to hit the championship and complete the three-peat dynasty!
