The Lakers' regular season record improved to 12 wins and 27 losses.

In this game, Lin Tian's personal statistics were 48 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Kobe had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Harden of the Rockets scored 26 points, but his efficiency was relatively low. He only had 6 free throw opportunities in the game, which was lower than the average number per game.

Although they lost the game, Harden and others still took the initiative to hug and take photos with Kobe.

After all, this is Kobe's last regular season visit to Houston, so the proper etiquette must be observed.

After all the Lakers players finished celebrating, they returned to the away locker room.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were very happy to win.

Lin Tian took a shower and was interviewed again with Kobe and Scott.

Houston is also a big city, and many reporters came to the media room today.

As usual, after Scott and Kobe finished their interviews, it was Lin Tian's turn to speak.

Lin Tian still called the names randomly.

The reporter who was targeted by him quickly stood up and asked: "Lin! Today you spent most of the time guarding James Harden, and it seemed to be very efficient. Can you talk about what it was like to guard him?"

Lin Tian pondered for three seconds, raised his head and said to the microphone: "James Harden is one of the strongest scorers in active service. He has many scoring methods. When I defended him, I was under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, I still

It can be considered that I have completed my defensive task relatively satisfactorily.”

Scott and Kobe nodded frequently, and they were obviously satisfied with Lin Tian's answer.

Next, I answered two very simple questions, and the post-game interview ended.

They didn't stop at Toyota Center, but quickly took the bus.

The day after tomorrow, they will challenge the Bucks away from home in Milwaukee.

If I take a special flight to Milwaukee tonight, I can still have a day off tomorrow.

The NBA schedule has always been relatively tight. On average, at least one game must be played in three days.

If the team doesn't have a special plane, it won't work at all.

After hurriedly boarding the special plane, Nick Young and the others started playing cards again.

Among the Lakers players, Nick Young is the one who likes to play cards more, and he is also the one who likes to heckle the most.

Kobe is probably the person who dislikes playing cards the most, but this time he didn't disturb everyone's interest. After all, he won the game.

Lin Tian sat next to Nick Young and watched them play "Texas Hold'em".

After Nick Young won a hand, he shouted excitedly: "Lin! Come on! Let's play together! You have such a good shooting touch today, you will definitely not be bad at drawing cards!"

Lin Tian really didn't expect these two feels to be mixed together.

But he really couldn't arouse much interest in this kind of thing. He just waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't want to lose the salary I just paid."

Since signing that big contract with the Lakers, he has already been paid once.

NBA players' salaries are generally paid twice a month.

Lin Tian paid out more than 300,000 knives in one go a few days ago. He has never seen so much money in his life.

Every month from now on, the money he receives will gradually increase.

When it comes to salary, Nick Young even wants to drag Lin Tian to play cards: "Lin! Your salary is higher than mine! It's okay to lose some money to everyone!"

Kobe on the side unexpectedly said in a rare move: "Lin, Michael also likes to play cards very much."

The implication was to persuade Lin Tian to play a few tricks, but Lin Tian still refused.

Lin Tian couldn't be called out, so Nick Young had no choice but to give up.

At this time, Lin Tian also took out his mobile phone and started browsing today's NBA news.

[The Lakers defeated the Rockets in an away game! Harden was restricted!]

[The person who is best at guarding Harden has appeared! This rookie is the real Harden terminator!]

[James Harden and Howard were rumored to be at odds! Howard left the bench before the end of the game!]

[Breaking news, Howard accepted an interview and frankly said that he did not get the respect he deserved in the Rockets! 】

[The Lakers took away the last fig leaf of the Rockets!]

[The Rockets have accelerated the pace of seeking trades. They are eager to trade Howard, but there are not many teams in the league that are interested in Howard.]

…

The Lakers and Rockets are indeed two teams with their own traffic.

Not long after the game ended, these big news were released one by one.

Trading Howard is no longer a matter of a day or two. How can it be so easy to succeed?

Lin Tian remembers that the Rockets failed to successfully trade Howard in his previous life, which resulted in Howard transferring to the Hawks as a free agent after the season.

Later, he was extremely depressed in the Eagles. His personality did not get along with his teammates. After two years, he broke up on bad terms...

Of course, these are all things for later. Now that Lin Tian has traveled through time, everything may change.

After reading the news for a while, Lin Tian put on his headphones and fell asleep until he was woken up by the noise of the plane landing.

Nick Young and the others have stopped playing cards a long time ago.

The plane landed smoothly, and everyone got off the plane and got on the bus.

They have long been accustomed to such operations.

Lin Tian sighed after getting on the bus: "We seem to spend a lot more time flying than playing basketball."

"Haha!" Nick Yang patted Lin Tian on the back, "Did you just know?"

Russell on the side said: "If NBA players change careers, it would definitely be good to be a hotel experiencer."

After all, they often traveled to hotels in various big cities, so it was normal for Russell to say this.

The bus shuttled across the city of Milwaukee and finally brought them to a five-star hotel.

What Lin Tian didn't expect was that there were many Kobe fans in front of the hotel.

You know, it's early morning now!

Although the players used pseudonyms when they checked into the hotel, it was too easy for these fans to find out the specific hotel where they lived.

Kobe completely let go of his pretense as a star player, signing autographs and taking photos when it was time to do so.

After all, fans have been waiting here for a long time.

Lin Tian was also pulled by several fans to take photos and sign autographs.

When they signed in and returned to the hotel, they were exhausted, and Lin Tian fell asleep.

It wasn't until he woke up that he discovered that Puchek had sent him a text message.

It turned out that the Jokic trade did not go very smoothly, and the Nuggets actually rejected the Lakers' generous offer.

I'm afraid it's because the Nuggets have discovered Jokic's amazing talent.

Lin Tian sighed. It might not be realistic to let the Lakers bleed out and try every means to bring Jokic to Los Angeles.

He believes that the management does not have such courage.

Since Jokic can't do it, we can only try our best to win over Howard!

In Lin Tian's view, Howard may be more suitable for the Lakers.
Chapter completed!
