192. Where the heart leads

Yao Ming took the Hornets very seriously as an opponent.

However, for Zhang Yang, Yao Ming's presence made the Rockets a special opponent to him. If Yao Ming couldn't play, the Rockets were nothing, now they were not even on his list of presumed enemies, much less in the future.

Nonetheless, defeating the Rockets to break the losing streak was very important for the current Hornets, as March was a critical phase for fighting for rankings, and winning one more game could increase their hopes of chasing the top spot in the East.

Because this month, it wasn't just them working hard; other teams fighting for rankings were also making efforts, whether for the number one draft pick or for playoff spots.

Relatively speaking, the teams scrambling for playoff spots are currently the most tense and eager to win more games.
