Chapter 1051: Fighting to the End, Rejecting Pathos (Three More Requests of All Kinds)
On Friday, local time, the Rockets played the Utah Jazz away in the sixth game of the playoffs.
With the hype of the media, the attention of the Rockets' games is also getting higher and higher, and ESPN will broadcast it live across the country in the battle of key match points.
As Andy and Ivana stepped out of the luxurious palace in the sky, they set foot for the first time in the polygamous state of Utah, where they waited for a long time, and headed to the Hilton near the Utah Jazz Energy Solutions arena in Salt Lake City.
The closer you get to the Energy Solutions Arena, the more you feel the frenzy and excitement of the fans in Salt Lake City, and there are fans in white everywhere.
"Sure enough, it's the home of the famous devil... ”
Andy said with emotion, wearing a big red high-waisted tight-fitting dress, the corners of Ivana's mouth slightly curled up and wrapped her entire plump body into a gourd-shaped body, and said with a sweet smile: "Don't worry, I have a strong hunch that we will win tonight!"
Andy smiled lightly and patted his girlfriend's little hand, in fact, he didn't care if he won or lost at this moment, even if he won this time, the seventh battle of Tianwang Mountain would force both sides into a life-and-death battle.
To tell the truth, every battle of Tianwang Mountain is full of gunpowder, both sides will fight with their lives, it is very easy to play real fire, the scene is out of control, and it is easier to get players injured, this group of guys can really do anything in order to win.
Speaking of his meow eggs, it seems that the Utah Jazz and the Rockets are in line with each other, last year was after the Rockets led 2-0, and the Utah Jazz turned the tables and kicked the Rockets out, and this year it met the Jazz again, and the game played like this...
After feeling that the Rockets were staying at the Hilton Hotel, Andy took Ivana, accompanied by general manager Morey, to have lunch with all the members of the Rockets, and the game would start at 8 p.m.
The atmosphere of the dinner was a little solemn, and Andy only gave a little encouragement and didn't say anything more, because he knew that the current Rockets no longer needed encouragement, and the competitive heart of competitive athletes was more effective than any words of encouragement.
Break the cauldron and fight to the end. In this moment, Andy could feel it clearly.
At the end of lunch, Andy asked about Maddie's knee injury with concern, and Maddie, who didn't wake up, just shook it silently.
In the hotel room, Nelson Sr. said to Andy, "Maddie is an indomitable fighter... ”
Andy frowned slightly and looked at the similarly serious-looking general manager Morey, who explained: "Maddie decided to force his knee out before the game and play the seal! ”
"Whew-"
Andy exhaled lightly, although he was very touched, he was not moved by the moment, he just nodded, "We still have to protect the safety of the players, if he really can't hold on, let people replace him, don't ruin his career for a game!"
Old Nelson nodded, "Everything is good, we are ready." At this stage, we got two precious days off and we'll surprise the Jazz in the evening!"
"Boss, their home crowd is noisy... "Morey vaccinated the big boss, you must know that the home court of the Utah Jazz is definitely the home of the devil, and the fans are crazy, and when Andy appears, he will definitely face overwhelming boos.
"Hehe, I know, I also want to experience the boos of my opponent, maybe it's a good experience. Andy smiled indifferently, he wouldn't be unhappy about this kind of thing.
。。。。。。
At around 7 p.m., Andy and Ivana walked into the already white and buzzing Energy Solutions Arena with the team, and when Andy and Ivana's images were switched to the big screen in the center of the arena, they were greeted with a tidal wave of boos.
Andy's sunny smile and sweet smile waved at the camera at all, as if the boos were like cheers, and more boos and mockery of the Rockets were ushered in.
You must know that at the Toyota Center on April 30, the Rockets beat the Jazz into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, and the Houston fans who were originally like ashes ignited a few more flames, hoping that the Rockets could once again conquer the home court of the Devils in Salt Lake City, drag the Jazz back to the Toyota Center again, and even become the ninth team in history to play three games in a row.
On the contrary, Utah Jazz fans resented the humiliating game, even though their team was leading by a large margin, but the shame of being bloodied was an unavoidable fact.
In the sixth game of the game, the stunned Rockets became the team with the strongest ability to resist in the first round of the West. relied on a spirit to fight for the opponent's life, and began to fight back.
As the whistle blew and the basketball was tossed high by the referee, Game 6 of the first round of the 2007-2008 NBA playoffs between the Rockets and the Jazz officially kicked off.
"Remember, whoever grabs the jump ball wins the game, so let's go back to Houston for Game 7. The host, who was broadcasting live, said in a good mood after seeing Da Yao easily scramble for the ball to land.
After the start of this life-and-death battle, Maddie changed his stubborn disease of slow heating and exchanging iron for a hand, and almost from the first second, he became an unsolvable proposition on the Jazz defensive end, even if he dragged a stump leg and a stump shoulder, he was fearless, and frequently carried explosives bags alone, killing the Jazz's interior line to destroy the supposedly impregnable bunker in Salt Lake City.
Andy looked at Maddie fighting on the court, and he also felt a lot in his heart, and for a moment he really hesitated, although he didn't know what Maddie thought in his heart, but Maddie, who was injured in the game, has since fallen! The rivers and lakes have never had a peak Maddie! Even Andy can imagine how the relationship between Maddie, who has completely lost his fighting spirit in the following seasons, and the Rockets management will be rigid and prominent.
Maddie scored 12 points in the first quarter, but the role players who came on were untimely lost in the boos of the home fans, and the Rockets fell behind 22-32...
After the game, the coach of the Jazz team, Sloan the Old Fox, seemed to be a pre-set trap, a conspiracy. Because from the point of view of the arrangement, no matter how unstoppable Maddie is, the Jazz rarely uses a bag clip on Maddie, but directly doubles the bag to freeze Da Yao, watching Da Yao constantly blame the opponent's small actions with a black face to the referee, but the referee shook his head, Andy was a little speechless.
The tide of boos and taunts Maddie scored 28 points in the first half alone, and Changlu seemed to have forgotten about his unhappiness with Maddie, constantly delivering ammunition and making Maddie score like crazy. In the 12 minutes of the second quarter, he was possessed by the spirit of God and scored 16 points by himself, erasing the Jazz's nearly 20-point lead.
The Jazz were happy to watch the Rockets No. 1 get into scoring mode early, and the more he got happier, because that 80 percent meant he was going to be completely lost in the final quarter.
After all, Maddie is a human being, not a god, and his physical reserves are limited. Indeed, Maddie's trajectory of play unfortunately coincided with the Jazz's wishful thinking, and even the Jazz reaped the joy, Maddie entered a state of panting one quarter early, and even in the third quarter, watching a grab, Maddie knelt on the floor on one knee.
Maddie was replaced, and to the disappointment of the Jazz, Da Yao was finally angered by the two bastards who wrapped him in the bag, and he was no longer worried about his foot injury, no longer worried about not being able to catch up with the Olympics, and began to unseal it, and fouls were not hesitated...
It's over!
Looking at Chang Lu, who was roaring in the sky, and Da Yao, who waved his arms and smiled, rushed into the stadium and hugged the bench players who were a little stumbling and showing a relieved smile, the Rockets once again conquered the home court of the Devils in Salt Lake City, once again dragged the Jazz back to the Toyota Center, and moved forward to become the ninth team in history to play three games in a row!
Andy excitedly hugged the equally excited Ivana, kissed a few times, and rushed forward to hug and celebrate with this group of sweaty warriors!
