The loss in the first game is not the end, and the Rockets are also quite bright spots. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info especially the little giant Yao Ming played easily in the face of Double Wallace and cut down 30+11. The number one star Maddy has been unanimously criticized by the media, although he contributed good statistics of 20+5+5, but was completely played by Bodiloga on the defensive end. Billups also did not play well, scoring only 11+2+4.

The media praised the Pistons one-sidedly, especially for Bodi Loga, who played 23+6+7, and the media unanimously gave high praise such as "blowing up MVP" and "suppressing Maddie". After all, the Rockets were the absolute favorites before the game, and the Pistons' victory was more like an upset.

"Don't be discouraged, since you still have a day off in the middle of the next game, you have to work hard to prepare for the day." Yuanfei encouraged the players and pulled Wallace away at the behest of Tang Shuai.

"Gerrard, Tracy had a poor effect against Bodiloga in the previous game, and you will have to rely on you to defend him in the next game."

"No problem, I'll do my best." Wallace patted his chest and said, "I've also studied a lot of videos from before the Pistons. ”

"No, no, here's the problem. The Pistons have been playing very conservatively before, and Bodi Loga has done some basic work very solidly, but he has not shown all his strength. ”

"What then?" Wallace was confused.

"Today you left the team to train alone, and the content was to watch the footage of Bodi Loga's game with me. Let's start with this disc, which was the European Championship final the year before, with Panathinaikos with Bodiloga as the core against Bologna with Ginobili as the core. ”

"It's easy training, hehe." Wallace laughed.

"Don't take it lightly, not to let you watch the excitement, but to carefully observe the technical characteristics of Bodi Loga." As the match began, Yuanfei switched to commentator mode: "Panathinaikos finished in the 2002 UEFA 19-3 and Bologna 17-5 in the top two. There is a big gap between European basketball and our game, and the average is more than 80 points per game, so you can be considered a star if you can contribute more than 12 points per game. Ginobili averaged 15.9 points per game that year, while Bodiologa averaged 20 points per game. ”

In other words, after he adapts to the NBA, it shouldn't be a problem to average 25 points per game, right? He's a great scorer. Wallace sighed.

"What's even more terrifying is that it's not just the number of points he scores, he shoots 62.9 percent from two-point range and 39 percent from three-point range. He can also make a lot of shots when he distorts his body and loses his center of gravity. ”

"What a formidable enemy to be taken lightly." Wallace put away his joking mentality and carefully observed Bodiloga's movements.

The match ended with a six-point victory over Panathinaikos led by Bodiloga. Wallace was still reminiscing about the game, but Yuanfei took out a disc again.

The following year, last year, Bodiloga moved to Barcelona and immediately became the number one star, leading the team to another final, where they defeated Benetton to win back-to-back cups. This final should also be watched carefully. ”

"That's a lot." Wallace complained bitterly, and he began to feel that watching the ball this way was no easier than his daily training.

***

On June 8, at the Toyota Center, the second game of the finals was rekindled.

"It's really good to win the regular season, the first two games of each round start on your own home court, which is enviable." Prince's words were not sarcasm, they were heartfelt.

"But they were also driven to their death by us. If we lose again, then we have three consecutive home games, and they will die. "Rashid is a big mouth, and he speaks with a lot of faith. This year's finals are still 2-3-2, and Toyota will move to Auburn Hills to play three games in a row after World War II.

But it is true, as Rashid said, that the Rockets have been cornered despite only one game in the series. If this one loses, the outcome will inevitably be nine deaths. The whole Rockets team attached great importance to it, and the locker room also lost its daily laughter and seemed extremely silent.

Lao Tang also said with a serious face: "I don't have much to say. We're the best team in the league, but the best teams are bound to lose. As for whether you win or lose at this critical moment, it is up to you. Now is adversity, a battle of life and death, and I look forward to your rise in adversity. ”

Most of the players bowed their heads and remained silent, as if they were thinking about what the coach had said. Only Bosh slapped his palms abruptly a few times, and he looked around with an embarrassed expression.

"The starters I just clicked, let's play!"

Yao Ming jumped the ball to win, and the Rockets executed their first offense. Billups fired the first shot against Bodiloga, but Chauncy turned up the arc slightly and missed the frame because his opponent was too high.

Oku grabbed the rebound and distributed it to Gerrard, who also missed the three-point shot, and Big Ben protected the rebound.

"It seems that the Rockets played a similar style to the last game, and decided to use three-pointers to win. In the last game, they only shot 9 of 29 three-pointers, and they took a lot of shots, but the results were mediocre. "Narrator Kenny. Smith Road.

"This Rockets are very talented, but they rely too much on three-point shooting. Those who win the inside line win the world, this is the unchanging truth of basketball. "Ross Barkley is a power forward and he has always had a problem with his outside-oriented play.

"But that's how the Rockets got the best result in the league in the regular season. They made more than 2,000 three-pointers, with only the Seattle SuperSonics coming close to them with 1,936 and the Hornets with the third-most fewer than 1,700. Smith looked at the stats.

"That's the gap between the Rockets and the Dynasty teams, and if you want to be the ruler of the league, you should have a giant like O'Neal. Of course, Yao is not bad, but he still needs to grow. "Barkley is still quite the Rockets.

The two of them had a lively discussion, and the game was also lively. Rashid also grabbed a rebound in the front court and hit a supplemental goal. And Rocket Maddy received a pass from Gerrard and scored a layup.

This shot missed, Rashid just made a basket and ate the sweetness, this time the card position pushed down Oku too hard, the referee whistle blew, and the foul.

But the Rockets didn't take advantage of the opportunity either, Oku's serve was stealed by the astute Bodiloga, and he made an easy layup unmarked, 4-2.

Next, the two teams entered a big iron battle, Maddie Big Ben Oku Hamilton missed all kinds of shots, so anxious that Tang Shuai scratched his head. I can't wait to yell and give the ball to Yao Ming!

Yao Ming was not easy either, as Big Ben suddenly used to defend him for two rounds, making it difficult for him to receive the ball. Big Ben is a guy who is strong and very agile, and he reacts quickly, and he is very handy in defending around the front.

It was Billups who opened the ropes, and he lobbed the ball to create a good shot for Yao Ming. Yao Ming missed a shot but caused a foul on Ben, and he hit two free throws to tie the score.

Bodi Loga didn't play so freely, and Gerald wrapped around him like a piece of kraft candy. Whenever he tried to break through with his delicate steps, Gerrard always stepped back in front of him.

"It seems that the video is really not in vain, I seem to be able to grasp some of this guy's movements." Gerald was secretly smug.

"This is in line with our old Chinese saying - grinding guns in battle, not fast is also light." Yuanfei said to Tang Shuai.

Bodillo added a step-back jumper stance, and Gerrard habitually stepped forward to block out of conditioned reflex.

"Oops!" He reacted immediately after making this move, which was a feint shot that the opponent is very good at.

Bodiloga did take a step forward and started with another leaning forward jumper, and Gerrard had just landed, although he knew his opponent's move well, but he didn't have time to step forward to defend.

Ball in, 6:4. Bodiloga smiled at Gerrard, turned and ran back to defense.

The old Billups shouted at Gerrard: "Don't be careless, focus and play every ball!" Take the attitude of adversity! ”

Gerald was in good spirits and immediately adjusted his mentality.

It was a life-and-death battle that had to be won. Rockets must rise in the face of adversity to survive!
