(56) The Collapse of Webb (II)

Webb is not in shape, and the Kings can still play old tactics to get others to step up. The pen "Fun" played www.biquge.info Divac high with the ball and passed it to Bibby, who found an opportunity and sent it back to Divac, who went down. Yao Ming just mentioned the position of the free throw line, and he couldn't step back, and he saw that Divac was about to win. Maddie descended like a god and suddenly hit a big hat! Parker scored on a fast break, 54-60.

Parker and Maddy high-fived each other, while the Kings looked frustrated, and they couldn't tell they were still in the lead. Adelman hurriedly called a timeout.

At the end of the third quarter, the Kings still had a slight lead at 79:82. Maddie didn't feel good but had a lot of good performances on the defensive end, leading the team's defense. The Kings made just two three-pointers in the quarter, and Webb scored just two points on 1-of-6 shooting.

The situation is moving more and more against the king. Thanks to the previous sixth man Bobby. Jackson strained his abdominal muscles, and Richardson sprained his foot again. The Kings, who have decent bench depth, are also starting to run out of staff. Studjakovic and Bibby have played more than 40 minutes in a row and are also struggling with fitness.

Adelman was slow to adjust his tactics on the spot, but he reacted anyway. The main tactics of the fourth quarter were arranged with 36-year-old veteran center Divac as the axis.

The opening tactics paid off, with Divac causing Yao Ming to foul and making 1 of 2 free throws.

Yao Ming missed Divac's shot alone, and the king's side handed the ball to Divac, and Yao Ming stepped forward to withstand the opponent. Divac watched the six ways and distributed the ball to Webber, but Maddy cut the ball diagonally, and Maddy took advantage of the fast break to attract the defense and assisted Wallace to win easily, 81-83.

"McGrady made his fourth steal! He shot average today, but he really spared no effort on the defensive end! Even Barkley was full of praise.

The Rockets were another high-intensity defense, the whole team of five people was focused, the Kings failed to get any chances, and seeing that the 24 seconds were approaching, Bibby could barely shoot a three-point shot, and the result was of course iron.

Billups patiently organized, and after several people passed the ball several times, he found Wallace, who scored a layup, 83 draw!

Maddie steals Stujakovic again, fifth steal! Billups hits a three-pointer! 86:83Rockets Overtake!

Barkley in the TNT studio also shouted: "Dominant defense! ”

Studjakovic wanted to return a three-pointer, but missed, and Webb missed a layup. Maddy then hit another three-pointer, 89-83. Adelman hurriedly called a timeout, and the Rockets started the fourth quarter with a 10-1 run that left the Kings scrambling.

After the timeout, Peja hit a three-pointer to stabilize the team. After Billups missed a shot, Webb assisted Divac for a two-point shot to close the 89-88 mark.

But soon the king was in trouble again, this time again Weber. The defenders switched to the smaller Wallace, but the strategy was the same as letting him go three steps. Webber was furious, this time he wanted to use his back to hit Wallace, but the intention was too obvious, and he ate a big hat from Maddie, who came to help the defense, and Billups scored 2 points on a fast break.

Webb was furious, and continued to reach for the ball in spite of the manager's tactical arrangement. This time, he squeezed Wallace away, but was disturbed by Yao Ming's position, so he could only barely strike the iron. The Rockets attacked and won again, 94-88.

Webb singled Wallace for a foul and made 1 of 2 free throws. Wallace added two more points on a jumper, and the 96-89 margin widened.

Plagued by injuries, fatigue, and pressure, Webb finally lost his mind and pushed Wallace hard as he struggled for rebounds in the frontcourt. Wallace lost his balance in the air and barely landed on one foot, before collapsing unable to get up.

The referee's whistle blows, malicious foul! The Rockets made two free throws and one throw.

(Quick fact: Malicious fouls usually refer to unsportsmanlike and unnecessary physical contact.) Fouls are also divided into 1st and 2nd grades, with 2nd degree foul offenders being ejected immediately, and 2nd degree foul offenders being ejected from the game)

Wallace insisted on making 1 of 2 free throws before being replaced by Turkoglou and Webb was also substituted and did not play again. In the whole game, Webb got 10+14+6 on 3-of-18 shooting, with comprehensive statistics but his shooting was delayed.

Webb's strong point collapsed, and it also broke the morale of the entire Kings team, and the Rockets finally overturned the opponent 107-98. Maddy scored just 19 points on 8-of-21 shooting, but contributed six rebounds, six assists, five steals and three blocks, and was eye-catching on the defensive end.

The Rockets, who won the game, waited for bad news. Wallace suffered a severe sprained left foot and needed to rest for 5-6 weeks, and he won't be back until the playoffs start (a true event in history, Wallace missed a lot of games due to a sprain during the same period).

As the saying goes, there is no double blessing, and there is no single line of evil. In the back-to-back games of the Rockets against the Trail Blazers on the 22nd, Olajuwon retired from the game with a recurrence of back injuries in the confrontation. The Rockets relied on CTM's excellent play to win the opponent. Yao Ming 28+13, Maddie 25+9+10 quasi-triple-double, Billups also scored 10+6+8.

With Wallace and Big Dream sidelined, Bosh was given more minutes and opportunities to perform, and the newcomer took his chances. In the game against the Raptors two days later, Bosh partnered Yao Ming to start the game and scored 13 points, and his excellent mid-range shooting can create space for Yao Ming to play alone. Yao Ming played comfortably, cutting 25+17 to completely dominate the inside, and the Rockets won by 8 points.

The Rockets then lost to the Grizzlies, took the Bucks, and rested Maddy in back-to-back games, resulting in a six-point loss to the Timberwolves.

"As we enter April, we enter the final stage of the regular season. Jason, what are your goals and thoughts on our team's closing game? Alexander is very pleased with the team's current performance and his industry is well developing the Chinese basketball market. Although Yali is greedy for money, he also does not forget to dig wells. The king was filled with gratitude. Now the team's affairs are always for Jason's opinion.

"Our team is currently 56-17 with nine games remaining, while the Eastern Conference No. 1 Pacers are 55-20 with seven games remaining. If nothing else, we finished the season at the top of the league. Yuanfei thought for a while and said, "But I don't value the relationship with the Pacers' record (the record leader has an extra home-court advantage in the playoffs), because they may not be able to break through from the East in the playoffs." However, it is more important for us to meet the Spurs and Lakers in the playoffs. ”

"Oh? So which team do you think is more likely to break through? Is it the two-time Nets in the East? Dawson wondered. After all, the Pacers are now far ahead of the East in terms of record and look much better than other teams.

"Pistons. The Pistons complemented Rashid. Wallace has a complete lineup after that, and has the strength to impact the championship. Yuanfei said with certainty.

Dawson disagreed, diverting the topic and saying, "Keeping the Western Conference championship is still a relatively simple goal. Now the Timberwolves 52-24 and Lakers 52-23 have only a theoretical possibility to turn the tables in the remaining games. ”

Alexander smiled, "Now the time has come to completely kill this possibility." ”

As Yali said, on April 1, the Rockets will face the Lakers at Staples Arena. The Lakers, who ushered in Malone's comeback, finally got together the F4 combination and were determined to overturn the Rockets. And the Rockets are also gearing up to compete with the full lineup of Lakers.
