There was no suspense in the game on November 8th, the Magic is a young team, and the "Warcraft" Howard, who has not yet grown up, is not Yao Ming's opponent at all, and he lost after winning a 12+11 economic double-double. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Bosh continued his excellent form, scoring a game-high 27 points. 76:94 The Rockets have won three in a row at home.

The outcome was entirely expected by the media, and they focused on a more important issue - Maddie did not play.

This time the Rockets really didn't make excuses to rest, but Maddy's back injury recurred. Maddie is very strong, and he was annoyed that he missed the Finals due to injury, and he started training hard this offseason just after recovering. Due to the intense training, his back injury had a faint tendency to recur, but he did not take it seriously. But at the beginning of the season, after two games, it hurt so much. He had no choice but to report the matter to Wang Yuanfei.

Yuan Fei felt bad when he heard it, and immediately called Jones, the team doctor and vice president of the team, and asked Jones to invite several medical experts. After several experts diagnosed, they felt that Maddie must not be able to play in the short term, and gave two treatment options.

One is to perform surgery, but due to the sensitive position of the surgery, the surgery is very risky, and rehabilitation will take at least 6 months, and the playoffs will be halfway through by then. And Maddie, who has just recovered, is also difficult to ensure his condition, and it is not much different from the season reimbursement; The second is conservative treatment, temporarily giving up the game and recuperating at home. Receiving physical traction and electric shock stimulation therapy. This treatment has few risks and can treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. I don't know when it will recur.

Yuanfei immediately said that no matter which treatment option Maddie chooses, the team will fully support him in his treatment. Even if Maddie wants to have surgery, the Rockets will be strong enough to wait until the second half of the playoffs to wait for his return.

After careful consideration, Maddie made a decision that the vast majority of people opposed, and he insisted on going for the operation.

"Are you crazy?" Jones immediately objected: "This surgery is very risky, and if something goes wrong, you may not be able to play basketball again!" Even if you succeed, there is no guarantee that you will be able to return before the Grand Final. ”

"I believe in my teammates, they've already won a championship without me." Maddie smiled, "I'm sure they'll hold out until I come back next year." And I'll definitely be back healthy! ”

Yuanfei also smiled, "Although Tracy is an employee of the team, the operation is his personal matter after all. We don't always want to force it. Now that Mr. Jones has made his suggestion, it is his own business whether to listen or not. ”

Now that the team's small boss and Maddie himself have agreed, the matter of this operation has been decided. Yuanfei thinks that since it has been decided, it must be done immediately. Rehabilitation time after surgery is of the essence. If you go one day early, you will be back one day early in the playoffs.

On November 10, Maddie was admitted to the operating room, and just as the operation was underway, the Rockets' game against the Heat also began.

The Rockets are missing Maddy, and the Heat are missing O'Neal. The Shark missed all of the rest of the game with a sprained right ankle in the opening game and is expected to miss another two weeks or so.

The Heat, who were reinforced in the summer, also had a lot of depth, and they sent Alonzo. Mourning, Udonis. Haslem, Antoine. Walker, Dwayne. Wade and Jason. Williams's combination, there are also old Payton and James on the bench. Posey, future three-point king Jason. Kapono, Rockets veteran Shanton. Anderson and a number of other good players.

But the Rockets suffered a loss at the No. 2 position, Reed's defense was ineffective, and he was completely restrained when he encountered an explosive athlete like Wade who started the first step super fast. Wade came up and constantly attacked the inside, except for scoring a layup that caused a foul and hit a free throw, and scored 13 points in the first quarter. The poor defensive end also hit Reed's shooting confidence, and he felt cold and missed consecutive shots.

Adelman, who has always been inactive, was also shrewd, and immediately deployed Reed and Jefferson to switch defenses. But now Reed met one of the strongest players in the No. 3 position - the fat head Towok. Walker is 206cm tall and weighs 111 kilograms, and in terms of size, he is comparable to Artest and Turkoglou, a few small forwards in the league. And Walker's skills are also very comprehensive, as soon as he sees that the defender is smaller, he immediately falls to the low post to ask for the ball and singles, which makes Reed complain again and again.

Adelman made another adjustment, and rookies Roy and Spann came on as a substitute. Don't look at Roy's stature is not superior to Reed, but his defense is much more upright. It is not worth a few points to come up and play with a clear face, and it is not worth a few points to fight Wade head-on.

In the final two minutes of the battle, the 84-88 Heat led by four points. Williams missed a three-pointer and the rebound was picked up by Bosh. Roy controlled the ball to the frontcourt and pulled up a three-point shot in the face of Wade without backing down.

"This ball really looks like Maddie!" Adelman couldn't help but clench his fists and applaud.

Walker wanted to return a three-pointer, but unfortunately his shooting ability was mediocre and he missed the shot. But Wade came out of the crowd and grabbed the priceless rebound. Again pass to Mourning, who hit the shot! 87:90！

At the critical moment, Yao Ming's single missed, but fortunately, Wade's breakthrough layup also missed. With just 29 seconds left in the game, Bosh forced a basket and drew a foul on Haslem. He shot calmly and made all 2 free throws, only 1 point away!

But by this time, there were less than 24 seconds left, and the Rockets had to foul. Wade hit both free throws to open the gap again.

The Rockets used up the last timeout and had to swap out all the players who shot the ball for the final three. Eventually the ball was in Reed's hands, and he made a quick stop to catch the ball in the middle of the sprint and turned around for a jumper, and the ball flew high in the air, far away, and hit! This three-pointer brought the Rockets back from the line of death.

Unfortunately, things are always imperfect, and the referee determined after replaying the footage that Reed's foot stepped on the three-point line in the moment before the shot, and the ball was changed to a two-point shot. 91:92 The Rockets are still one point behind.

With Payton Sr.'s two free throws and two hits, the Rockets had no chance to attack the last offense and ended in defeat. It was also their first defeat of the season. Although Yao Ming played well and cut a team-high 24+14, he was also inferior to Wade's 32+10+8 quasi-triple-double.

However, the Rockets players did not feel the loss of the game, and as soon as the game was over, they asked the team's staff Maddie how his surgery was.

At this time, Adelman's cell phone also rang, it was a call from Yuanfei. The coach immediately broke the news to his players - the surgery was very successful and Maddie is expected to return in May next year. (To be continued.) )
