At the press conference after the second game of the Western Conference Finals, Steve Kerr answered a reporter's question and said: "This is the full manifestation of the home court advantage! The Rockets have a good home atmosphere, and they have a great team.

fans, so they are lucky to have won two consecutive games!”

"But, what I want to say is that the next game will return to our home court. We will definitely try our best to reverse the situation, and we will definitely get back the big score! If you don't believe it, everyone will wait and see!"

Obviously, the Warriors are not convinced from top to bottom.

They firmly believed that they were too unlucky in the first two games, so they lost the games!

After returning to their home court, they will take back the initiative and win.

Two days later, the Rockets took a flight to Oakland.

Oakland is located in California.

It is the eighth largest city in the state, facing San Francisco across the sea, and there is a cross-sea bridge connecting the two cities.

The Oakland area is adjacent to the University of Berkeley. In short, the area it is located in is within the San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area, which is the sixth largest metropolitan area in the United States.

For this reason, although Oakland is just a small city, the Golden State Warriors are doing well here, with high team attendance and good local fan loyalty.

After staying at the hotel.

Because there was a game that night, D'Antoni immediately held a meeting after checking in.

Leading 2:0, this shows that the Rockets have seized the opportunity. Generally speaking, teams that can achieve a 2:0 lead in a playoff series will rarely be overturned.

However, less does not mean none.

In the 2015-16 season, the Warriors led the Cavaliers 3:1 in the Finals.

What's the result?

Under the leadership of LeBron James, the Cavaliers actually won 3 games in a row, and finally won the finals 4:3. The Cavaliers also won the first championship trophy in team history.

D'Antoni is nervous.

He was very nervous.

This year's situation is even better than last year. D'Antoni is very eager to win the Warriors 4:0 and then directly advance to the finals!

Reaching the finals, Dilman Fertitta's pressure on D'Antoni's shoulders will be reduced a lot.

The Rockets have not been able to reach the Finals in many years.

"Gentlemen, first of all, I have to thank everyone for their great contribution to the team's victory in the past two games! It was not easy! We won two home games! We took a 2:0 lead! But, I think

What I am saying is that the two games we won at home were very difficult to win. This shows that compared with the Warriors, we are not too dominant in terms of team ability. Both sides can only be said to be evenly matched! Now, let’s go

Arriving at the home court of the Warriors! Tonight, we will have the third game of the series with the Warriors! This game is very important! If we can win, we will get the match point! And the Warriors will definitely suffer a greater loss

Mental pressure! On the other hand, if we lose, then the Warriors are likely to take advantage of the situation and win two home games, and everyone will be on the same starting line again. According to Mr. Dilman Fertitta's request, he hopes that everyone will do it tonight

We must try our best to win the game. Only in this way can we advance to the finals! I want to ask, are you ready?" D'Antoni said.

"Ready!"

The players responded sparsely.

Wang Fei said nothing.

He felt that D'Antoni's motivational strategy was not quite right.

He only gives everyone pressure and little motivation. Such mobilization is basically meaningless.

D'Antoni didn't get an enthusiastic response. He frowned and looked at Wang Fei.

D'Antoni smiled and said: "Wang, do you have any ideas?"

Wang Fei smiled and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, let me say a few words to everyone, okay?"

"Of course." D'Antoni said with a smile.

The eyes of the Rockets players were all focused on Wang Fei.

Wang Fei smiled slightly and looked around, his eyes lingering on each player's face.

Then, Wang Fei said: "Have you ever thought about being able to lead the Warriors 2:0 in the Western Conference Finals?"

"No!" The responses became more uniform and louder.

Wang Fei continued: "Many people say that the Warriors are very powerful! But, in my opinion, the Warriors are just a paper tiger!"

Wang Fei said what the great man said.

"Why do I say the Warriors are paper tigers? Because they have many internal conflicts! They are not united! Moreover, because there are too many superstars, their battle for the ball is much more severe than ours. Judging from the results of the regular season, we

It can be seen that the current lineup of the Warriors has been running in throughout the regular season, but there are still some stumblings! Their running-in effect is not very good! This can be seen from the Warriors' regular season results! They only scored 57 points in the regular season.

Compared with the previous seasons, it is much worse! Some people may say that the Warriors did not exert their strength at all in the regular season. Their enthusiasm for the regular season has almost dissipated, and they have just been accumulating strength for the playoffs!

But what I want to say is that no one wants to lose! Losing is really unpleasant! If they can win easily, why should they lose? They have lost so many games, and we can even sweep the Warriors in the regular season.

It is enough to show that our strength is a level better than theirs! We don’t need to feel inferior and scare ourselves by thinking that their five-star lineup is strong, they have entered the finals for 4 consecutive years, and have won 3 championships, etc.!

No need! Now, it’s not us who should carry the burden, but the warriors! It’s not us who should be afraid, but the warriors! Therefore, what I want to ask you is, do you have the confidence to win the game tonight?!" Wang Fei

Speak impassionedly.

In the conference room, all the Rockets players, including the staff, were immediately excited and excited.

"have!"

"We will win!"

There was a deafening response in the conference room.

D'Antoni felt a little shy when he saw this scene.

He had to admit that his ability to motivate his team members was very poor, at least on the same level as Wang Fei's.

Wang Fei smiled slightly and said: "Gentlemen, what I want to share with you is that I am very relaxed now and I am not nervous at all! Forget about winning or losing or anything like that! Everyone should enjoy the game! Enjoy playing ball.

Fun! Only in this way can we play a perfect game! Do you think what I said makes sense?"

"Wow!"

There was warm applause in the conference room.

Harden also applauded.

However, his heart was becoming more and more complicated at this moment.

Before he was injured, Wang Fei had gradually begun to seize power.

After Harden was injured, Wang Fei was quickly corrected by the team management. Now, Wang Fei has truly become the well-deserved leader of the Rockets.

What makes Harden feel the most uncomfortable is that in his absence, Wang Fei led the Rockets all the way to the Western Conference Finals.

Now, they are leading the Warriors 2:0, pushing the Warriors to the wall.

This embarrassed Harden.

What does this mean?

This shows that the Rockets have no problem without Harden.

It further shows that Harden's value in this team has reached the point of being dispensable.

This is something no super giant can tolerate.

However, Harden was helpless.

What can he do?

Even if he can play, the Rockets still have to play with Wang Fei as the center!

After lunch, Wang Fei went to his room to rest for a while.

However, at this time, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Feixin said, who will come to disturb me at this time?

The Rockets have taken over the entire hotel, making it basically impossible for outsiders to enter.

Wang Fei sat up, got up and opened the door.

There were two people standing outside the door.

One is Fisher Tiger, the assistant coach of the Rockets, and the other is a middle-aged man with an oriental face and glasses.

"Wang, this is Cheng, the general manager of Jindi Chocolate. He is one of the few friends I have made in China. Cheng said that he has something very important that he wants to talk to you about. Can you think of it?

?" Fisher Tiger said.

"Hello! Wang Fei, I am Cheng Haifeng, the general manager of Jindi Chocolate. Nice to meet you!" The man with glasses said hello to Wang Fei quickly.

General manager of Jindi Chocolate?

Wang Fei was stunned for a moment.

He didn't quite understand why the other party came here.

However, when he thought about it, Wang Fei understood a little bit. Didn't he say at the post-game press conference that his secret was to eat Jindi chocolate?
