After the game, the Rockets players left the court with dark faces and said nothing. Even the always good-tempered Yao made an exception and did not accept any interviews. Only Adelman was present at the press conference, and he only answered two questions. They left the field directly. It was obvious that this defeat had a great impact on them.
Next door, Ji Feng and the substitutes walked into the court to celebrate together, and walked around the court to thank the fans for their support. They will not return here for the next game for the time being, and just like Kobe said during the courtside interview, They will fight for the semi-finals and never come back here again!
"Hey, Ji Feng, you are so good tonight, so strong, so sexy!"
"Don't make trouble, I didn't do anything!"
"Tsk, cruel man!"
Ji Feng also had a cordial chat with Avril Lavigne on the sidelines after finishing the sideline interview. The two of them rarely see each other recently due to work, so when they finally meet, they naturally have many topics to talk about.
Of course, dinner is impossible, because the Lakers' charter flight has been parked at Los Angeles International Airport. Due to the schedule, the third game will be played in Houston two days later, on May 9, so time is very tight. The Lakers Naturally, we have to rush to Houston as soon as possible to prepare for the battle.
The commentators also began to finish the work one after another.
"Congratulations to the Lakers for another victory, 2-0. The Lakers continue to remain undefeated in the playoffs." Su Qun said.
"The Rockets have to go back and sum up. How to defend Ji Feng and how the substitutes can step up to share the pressure are all things they need to solve as soon as possible. After all, time waits for no one. It is especially important to return to home in the third game, 2-0 and 3- 0 is just two concepts, okay, I will rush to Houston immediately, see you the day after tomorrow!" Director Zhang made the final summary.
A hearty victory, the Lakers once again defended their home court.

Now fans are interested in Ji Feng and Zhan. I am looking forward to the meeting in the finals.
When the charter flight between Ji Feng and the Lakers took off, another game also came to an end. The two giants in the Eastern Conference battled for 4 quarters. In the end, the Celtics tenaciously maintained the victory at their home court and tied the score to 1-1. flat.
As soon as this game started, the Green Army showed a different mental state than the first game. Of course, anyone familiar with the Green Army knows that the Green Army in the second game is generally stronger than the first game. This can be regarded as a unique skill of the Green Army. , and the two protagonists who stood out in this game were not Rondo, but the little-known Eddie House on the bench.
In the first quarter, Eddie House came on as a substitute for Ray Allen and scored 9 points in 4 shots with a 100% shooting rate. Especially the final 3-pointer at the buzzer allowed the Greens to enter the second quarter with a 7-point advantage.
Eddie House, who continued to play in the second quarter, scored 7 points in just 5 minutes. His coquettish shooting in front of Howard was even more shocking. It made the monster furious, but there was no way. It has been rare this season. It was time for Warcraft to collapse, but Eddie House did it.
Later, when the score difference between the two teams continued to be anxious, Eddie House used 3 points to help the Green Army maintain a lead of more than 4 points.
In the end, the Green Army defeated the Magic 102-98 and evened the score!
After the whistle ended, Pierce immediately hugged Eddie House. Eddie House played only 27 minutes in the game. He made 11 of 14 shots and 4 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 31 points, 2 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. He is the player with the highest efficiency and the highest plus-minus in the game.
"Eddie House makes Ji Feng no longer lonely." After the game, ESPN even ran a headline like this to praise Eddie House's performance. From the perspective of efficiency, the two are really not much different.
Eddie House also made Howard's 20 points and 16 rebounds go to waste. After the game, Howard was so angry that he threatened to go back to the home court to show him off, which shows that Howard was really angry.
Ji Feng just wants to say: Well done!
…
Early in the morning on May 7th, Ji Feng's biological clock woke him up. He went for a morning run, breakfast and restorative training. Ji Feng had long been accustomed to this kind of life. Although the Lakers team training was in the afternoon, it did not hinder Ji Feng. Training alone.
There is also an episode here. A photo of Ji Feng practicing alone in the Lakers training facility was posted online by a Rockets staff member, which also received a great response online.
Many fans said with emotion that even if you can't see Los Angeles at 4 a.m., you still have to see Houston at 8 a.m. There is no shortcut to success.
But the focus of fans today is not here, because today, the NBA season awards are coming to its final finale, and the best team and best defensive team will be announced later today.
In the past two days, the NBA has announced the last two individual awards, namely the Most Improved Player Award of the Season and the Best Sixth Man Award.
The first is the Most Improved Player. Among Durant, Granger and Harris, Danny Granger from the Indiana Pacers officially won the Most Improved Player of the Year award for the 2008-09 season.
This award is well-deserved. In his fourth season in the league, Granger averaged 25.8 points per game, ranking fifth in the league. This data increased by 6.2 points compared with his performance last season, and compared with His career average is 9.4 points higher.
Granger also became the first player in NBA history to average a score increase of more than 5 points per game for three consecutive seasons.
Granger played a total of 67 games this season, averaging 5.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. In 49 games, he became the Pacers' highest scoring player in a single game, including 13 of the last 14 games.
Then there is the Best Sixth Man. This award belongs to Jason Terry of the Mavericks. A prerequisite for winning the Best Sixth Man is to play more times on the bench than in the starting lineup. In the 74 regular season games of the Mavericks this season, Terry made 63 substitute appearances and only started 11 times, but he still averaged 33.6 minutes per game and scored 19.6 points, the second-highest score in his career. In addition, Terry also contributed 2.4 rebounds and 3.4 points per game. assists and 1.3 steals.
Like Ginobili of the Spurs, the Mavericks also like to use the false starting tactic. Terry is undoubtedly the biggest reason for the success of this tactic. It can be said that coach Carlisle's strategic adjustment to Terry's substitute appearance is a huge success. Terry showed greater energy as a player.
There is no controversy about these two awards. No one can say anything about the statistical strength. Today, the best lineup that fans are looking forward to is finally announced.
The focus of fans' attention is still on the third position, Ji Feng or James, who will be the first team choice!
