"Take out our defense, defend like we did last game!" Maddie actually commanded his teammates loudly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If only a month ago, his teammates wouldn't have bothered to take care of him. I don't try my best to defend, I even have problems with attendance, and I want to criticize others, but of course others will not be convinced. But Maddie's performance in the past few days is obvious to all, and everyone will naturally listen to it.

"Tracy said it well! Yao had rested a lot in front of him, and his physical fitness should be fine. In the final quarter, we had to make good use of our big man center and play overall defense. Don't follow the rhythm of the sun, and play his own positional battle style around Yao. Tang Shuai gave appropriate instructions.

came up for the first ball, Billups forced Nash to score after Yao Ming, Yao Ming easily hooked and scored against Xiao Si, 88:90.

"Before I knew it, Yao Ming also got 15 points!" Barkley explained: "Stoudemire has scored 27 points, and according to the current statistics, Stoudemire is the better player. ”

But as soon as the words fell, it was time to slap his face. Stoudemire misses Yao Ming, and his teammates help him get the ball back. Xiao Si chose a jumper at the free throw line, but Yao Ming didn't follow at all, and this time he still hit the iron.

Tang Shuai nodded with satisfaction. Xiao Si used it more ruthlessly in the first three quarters, and now his physical fitness should also decline. His mid-range shot wasn't as accurate as Nowitzki's, and it was a good choice to put it in the fourth quarter.

The Rockets also missed the offense, but the bench players, led by Turkoglou, were full of energy, and they quickly stepped back and did not give the opponent a chance to break quickly. The Suns were good at fast breaking, but the positional battle was not easy, and they still handed the ball to Xiaosi. Xiao Si chose to force the frame this time, wanting to cause Yao Ming's foul by accelerating. But Da Yao judged correctly and sealed the ball with a slap.

Attack back the Rockets and hand it to Yao Ming, and the Suns shrink the bag. Yao Ming did not hesitate to score Billups, hit a three-point shot, and the 91:90 Rocket overtook by 1 point!

The Suns still came up with traditional blocking tactics, Xiao Si covered for Nash, and Yao Ming was forced to follow. After Nash broke through, the Rockets were forced to change defenses and formed a misalignment, and Xiao Si got the ball down and dunked violently, which also caused Billups's foul, 2+1.

On the Rockets' side, Turkoglu caused Barbosa to be fouled, making 2 of 2 free throws to tie the game at 93. The Rockets made substitutions, Wang Zhizhi Reed went down, and Bosh Maddy came on.

Maddie had a beautiful defense as soon as he came up, and he stared at Richardson very hard and barely missed. Billups suddenly accelerated to attack the ball, and the Suns were caught off guard, only the extremely fast Barbossa followed. Chauncey missed a layup under his interference, but he threw himself and grabbed the ball back and made up for it!

On the Suns' side, there was another three-point block after the pick-and-roll, McCarty shot, and the Suns overtook again! The Rockets insisted on center-forward tactics in the fourth quarter, and D'Antoni realized that the twin towers were not working well, and Marion was missing if he wanted to play fast, so he could only choose McCarty, who had a similar style of play.

But the problem with this lineup is that the difference in height between the players is too big. McCarty and Smalls are okay, the 198cm Richardson defends the 208cm Turkoglou, and the 191cm Barbossa simply guards Maddie. Lao Teh easily made a wonderful pass on the opponent's head, and Yao Ming easily won it, 97:96.

D'Antoni was quick to react and immediately replaced Barbossa with Jackson. But the problem on the offensive end could not be solved, and as soon as the Rockets' outside defense was in place, the Suns had no choice but to hand it over to Xiao Si again. He still missed the shot, and here Tekoglu used his body to crush and score another 2 points.

Xiao Siqiang beat Yao Ming and still missed, Billups assisted Maddy to shoot three points, 102:96!

This time the Suns handed over to Nash, but even he hit a jumper. Bosh drew a foul and made 2 of 2 free throws. The Rockets went on a 16-6 run in the quarter, forcing D'Antoni to call a timeout.

Xiao Si, who was physically exhausted, had to go down, and Xiao Ma came on. Yao Ming was amused, the opponent who was fast and shot in the middle was gone, and an old friend who fought hard with him under the basket came. than under the basket, no one is afraid except for O'Neal Yao Ming.

Richardson singled with the ball and missed a shot with Maddy's heavy interference. Maddy returned the favor by hitting a three-pointer for Billups to give the Rockets a double-digit lead at 107:96.

The Suns players were somewhat blindsided, and they were finally beginning to understand why the Rockets were the defending champions. The Rockets' bench was so solid that the bench lineup played for a long time, allowing the main team to fully rest and completely explode in the fourth quarter.

It was McCarty who stepped up to save the team, and he and Nash caught the ball and hit the sixth three-pointer of the game after blocking and shooting! The home fans cheered him on. If it weren't for McCarty's super-level play today, I'm afraid the Suns would have collapsed long ago.

But McCarty was still at a lagging level on the defensive end, Yao Ming missed the shot, but grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt. McCarty hurriedly grabbed the opponent, but Yao Ming was too heavy to pull it at all, and only made a foul in vain. Yao Ming played 2+1.

Jim. Jackson forced the inside line and ate another Chinese hot pot. The CTM trio continued to exert their power, taking turns to sling the Suns' defense. And the Suns repeatedly hit the iron under the oppressive defense of the Rockets, completely losing the demeanor of the league's No. 1 offensive team. After a few rounds, the 121-102 point difference has gone to 20 points.

Seeing that victory was hopeless, D'Antoni called a timeout and replaced the main team. And the Rockets also rested Maddie and Billups, leaving only Yao Ming on the floor.

The final score was fixed at 127:107, and the Rockets played a super reversal of 41:17 in the final quarter. Yao Ming contributed 14 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter, completely crushing the Suns' interior line. Yao Ming slashed 27 points, 22 rebounds and 5 blocks in the whole game, and his performance overshadowed Stoudemire, who had an eye-catching performance in the first half. Although Xiao Si cut 31+10, he only hit 9 of 23 shots, and his efficiency was mediocre. Maddie also contributed 36+9+6, while Billups had 28+4+6, and the excellent performance of the two defenders laid the foundation for the victory of the game.

On March 13, the Rockets drew Sacramento again. This time, the Rockets erupted en masse, with six players scoring in double figures, especially the bench Reed who scored 20 points on 7-of-9 shooting. The Kings struggled to hold up for three quarters before finally losing in the fourth. The Rockets had another 15-point away win.

On the 14th, the last battle of the four consecutive guests. Although the Warriors' strength can't be compared to the previous top three, the back-to-back on the road has made the Rockets players quite tired. In the final 15 seconds, he relied on Jefferson's two strong bursts to make 4 fouls and 4 free throws. The Rockets finally narrowly outscored their opponents by three points, winning all of them in a difficult four-game losing streak. For a while, the media exclaimed, MVP Maddie is back! The championship Rockets are back!

The moment they stepped off the plane and landed on the land of Hough, everyone smiled contentedly. No one could have imagined that the Rockets would be able to win such a treacherous schedule. Their record improved to 42-21, overtaking the 41-21 Mavericks and finally finishing in fourth place in the West. (To be continued.) )
