On January 2, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Western Conference showdown, the Rockets hosted the Nuggets' challenge. The Rockets fell into a crash in the 2nd quarter, losing 23 points 24:47 in the single quarter, and finally lost to the Nuggets 111:124, suffering 7 consecutive losses, the record became 10-27, and continued to rank first in the West!
Even more heart-wrenching than the loss was the Infighting that erupted during halftime. Manager Silas said after the game: "The team had a heated argument at half-time and we were all angry. When you want to make your team better, you have to let the players know that. I have certain requirements for them, that is, they must play hard, but I am very dissatisfied with their effort! ”
In today's game, the Rockets made a bench appearance as center of the season and did not get a chance to play in the second half of the game. Manager Silas explained after the game: "We will keep the specific reasons secret, but he violated the rules of the team, so I did not let him start and decided not to let him play in the second half. "Apart from Wood, Porter got a start today, but he also didn't play in the second half!
Although Silas said he would keep it a secret, Tim Mac Mahon soon revealed the inside story, writing: "Sources told me that Rockets point guard Kevin Potter Jr. had a fierce argument and lost his temper at halftime, so he voluntarily left the Rockets home. ”
Later, the US media pointed out that the bombs of the Rocket Team will only get bigger and bigger. Both Wood and Porter have serious disciplinary issues, which is a big reason they were banned from the game, and the Rockets got off to a bad start in 2022.
It has to be said that for this Rockets team, compared to victory, whether they can unite as one is the most important thing for them.
