The older superstars of the NBA

houston.

Toyota Center.

This is the home court of the Rockets, and the last game of the regular season of the Rockets is being held at the scene.After getting the seventh record in the Western Conference, the Rockets' playoff spot is naturally stable.

However, this is far from their original goal.

Their opponent in this game is the Phoenix Suns.

As the penultimate team in the Western Conference, the Suns are far behind the Rockets in terms of strength and team lineup. Therefore, the Rockets maintained the lead with little effort.

After the game entered the second half, the Rockets have maintained a double-digit point difference.

on the field.

It was the Rockets' turn to serve again.

Guard Patrick Beverley advanced to the half court with the ball, and James Harden came up to respond.

With the basketball in his hands, Harden singled out the Suns defender from beyond the arc.

His ball-handling rhythm is very good. After shaking one after another, he suddenly rushed to the basket. The Suns players were directly shaken away by Harden unexpectedly.

Seeing that Harden rushed in with the ball and was about to make a shot, the Suns' insiders had to come out to defend.

In this case, Harden chose to throw the shot himself.

Snapped.

The basketball missed and bounced off the rim.

The ball was taken away by the Suns.

In this case, Harden can run across the half court to return to the defense, but he didn't do so. Instead, he slowly got up and pretended to walk over, but in fact he allowed the Suns players to fast break and cross the half court.

The opponent quickly transferred the ball, sent it to the basket after two passes, and then scored a fast break layup.

The fans at the scene didn't respond much. After all, the Rockets were leading, but Bickerstaff, the team's head coach, shook his head.

With a helpless face, he made a substitution gesture to the referee on the side, and then replaced Harden off the court.

"James, you should have come back...we could have guarded that ball..."

Coach Bickerstaff said.

Harden spread his hands, showing a trace of doubt on his face, "Why? Coach, we don't need to go back to defend that kind of ball, at least for me... Now that we are leading, we can It's a good win for the game..."

"It's just a ball, what does it matter? Besides, I'm the star of the team. I don't need to do things like defense. I just need to stand up at critical moments. That's my value... "

When Harden said this, head coach Bickerstaff really had nothing to say.

He came to take over the team in the middle and late season. As his former team coach Mike Hale, he was forced to leave because the Rockets' record was not good enough.

Now that he has taken over such a hot potato halfway, it is really not a good job for him!

The most important thing is that even if he knows the problems of the team, as the head coach, he can only turn a blind eye and close one eye at present.

He has not yet established enough prestige in the team, especially against a star like James Harden, he has not yet had enough prestige to convince the opponent.

"All right!"

"Go down and rest first!"

"Marcus, you're ready to play..."

After leaving the field, Harden also ignored the reaction of head coach Bickerstaff. He just sat back on the team bench, and then turned around to chat with his girlfriend Khloe Kardashian.

"Oh! Honey, there's a party tonight, and there's a lot of people going, and I hope you can come with me... My friends really want to see you, but they never see you Over a superstar like you..."

"tonight?"

Harden sounded a little tired, "It's better! I'm a little tired recently, I want to go back and have a good rest...Next time! Next time I will go with you, the team is preparing for the playoffs recently, I'm afraid that if I go to too many events, the reporters will write another bluff..."

"No...if that's the case, then I'm not going either! I'll go home early with you tonight...Honey, I watched a very good movie recently, with a lot of It's something novel, do you want to try it together tonight?"

Hearing this, Harden's hair almost stood on end.Fortunately his hair was short, so only his beard stood up.

"No, Kohler, I'm a little tired recently, my dear, you know, it's easy to get tired after a season of fighting, I just want to have a good rest... so I don't want it for now... ..."

"James, you weren't like this before... aren't you? If so, forget it..."

When Kohler Kardashian said this, Harden's face immediately changed, and he held Kohler Kardashian's hand unwillingly.

"Honey, you managed to piss me off! Okay! I'll satisfy you... Let's go back together at night..."

"I'm going to let you know what James' anger is..."

What happened on the court didn't affect Harden's flirting off the court in the slightest.

And his state is also seen by the teammates of the Rockets, especially his every move with Khloe Kardashian, which has long caused dissatisfaction among many Rockets players, but because Harden's leader Identity, they have not said anything.

beep.

Soon, the live game came to an end.

The Rockets really won the victory. Although there was only a 6-point gap, it was enough for the Rockets!

The players got up and left one after another. After saying hello to Kohler Kardashian, Harden also got up and walked towards the direction of the player tunnel.

As soon as he entered the entrance of the player tunnel, he put a hand on Harden's shoulder.The person who came was none other than Clint Capela.

He is the team's main striker and has a very important position in the team.He has a good relationship with James Harden in private, and the two often go to nightclubs to have fun together.

"Hey, James, I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"The playoffs are about to start, man, now you have to hold back...you know what I mean?"

Capela's words made Harden stunned for a moment, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Capella sighed helplessly.

"I mean you better keep your distance from Kohler now! You know what? Some teammates on the team are very dissatisfied with your behavior. They think you have not fulfilled your duties as a team leader. Some people I hope you can lead the team to go further..."

Before Capela finished speaking, Harden interrupted him directly.

"what?"

"What does my relationship with Kohler have to do with anyone else? What does it have to do with me when they're upset with me? Man, I'm not a god, I'm human, and I have my own life, what kind of leader they want to chase is their business , I just want to be myself..."

"Even if I fool around with Kohler, it has nothing to do with them. If they don't like it, just leave... Who cares?"

After speaking, Harden left Capela without looking back.
