The Toyota Center on May 26 was as happy and noisy as after winning the championship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThe team's back-to-back away wins over the Spurs have made fans see a very different Rockets than before. The Houstonians have never been more confident and more confident that the Rockets can win another championship.

On the other hand, the Spurs players lowered their heads and looked expressionless. Duncan has always been paralyzed, but even the usually cheerful Arenas bowed his head and remained silent, and a veteran like Hawley has become a stuffy gourd. Only Bowen stared at Maddie viciously and gritted his teeth.

This team is tenacious and unyielding, has seen all kinds of big scenes, won the first championship in team history, and has also experienced the pain of being pressed by the Lakers for three consecutive years, and has experienced the bitter experience of reaching the top. But today they seem to be really scared.

Even Yuan Fei sighed, did the Changsheng Iron Army Spurs in his previous life fall down in front of Maddie? His operations changed the history of basketball and perhaps really created a basketball god, at least the closest to Jordan right now.

The game got on, and the Rockets got the first shot. The first shot went to Jefferson, who singled Ginobili for a driving layup, but was served by Duncan's big hat. The Spurs also had a surprise on their side, with Bowen holding the ball in the first spot, and he made a clever pass to Duncan for a 45-degree shot.

Billups made a pass error and Ginobili made a steal to get a fast-break opportunity. Bowen followed up in time to receive a pass from Ginobili and made an easy layup, 4:0.

Billups missed a jumper and the Spurs had another chance to widen the gap. Arenas was secretly rejoicing, but what he didn't expect was that next, the Rockets' MVP would take over the game again.

Arenas made a bad pass, Maddy broke the ball, and Jefferson followed up with a pass and made a layup. It was the same goal as Bowen's goal.

Ginobili made another mistake on his dribble and was stabbed by Maddie, and Bosh grabbed the ball with a quick hand. Billups made a wonderful pass to the low post, and Yao Ming slammed a dunk to complete the offense.

"Don't make mistakes, keep the ball!" Popovich shouted. But Duncan made another mistake, and after Maddy broke the ball, Bosh completed the attack with a mid-range shot, and the Rockets overtook 4:6.

At the critical moment, it was Ginobili who received a pass from Arenas and hit a three-point shot.

"Unlike Maddy, Ginobili rarely shoots at defenders, and he has a high assist rate for his three-point shots." Yuan Fei pointed out the problem and said: "The defense just now was a little leaky." ”

Yao Ming missed the shot, but Bosh cut off Duncan's ball again, and this time Billups seized the opportunity to play 2+1.

In the next period of time, the Spurs' shooting percentage was still very good, but they actually made 7 turnovers before and after, and the Rockets repeatedly broke the ball to far outnumber their opponents in offensive opportunities, and finally ended the first quarter with a 17-23 lead.

In the second quarter, the Rockets strengthened their defense, and the Spurs' mistakes were reduced, but the shooting accuracy went down again, and the opponent was defended by the opponent for less than 20 points in a single quarter. Although Maddy didn't have a spectacular scoring performance this time, he was eye-catching on the defensive end, contributing three steals and two blocks in the first half. Coupled with the fact that everyone on the team is a soldier, the Rockets have a huge lead of 15 points.

"Let me remind you once again that there has never been a team in NBA history that has come back from 3-0 down to win the game." Popovich suppressed his anger and said: "If we lose this game today, we will be eliminated, and this season will be over again!" ”

Duncan was silent, but the others seemed to see the veins on his forehead throbbing.

"We Spurs, we can't fall here!" He said suddenly.

Don't look at the stone Buddha who doesn't like words on weekdays, but once he speaks, he is as heavy as a thousand pounds. No one dared not take his words seriously.

Sure enough, as soon as the second half began, the Spurs showed the level of a super team, fierce defense, good organization, and accurate projection. After Barry and Brown hit three-pointers in quick succession, the margin had narrowed to eight points.

The Rockets players started to get nervous, and Billups carefully controlled the ball, for fear of making some mistakes and allowing the Spurs to fight back.

"Give me the ball!" At this time, the one who still maintains a relaxed mind and dares to ask for a ball and singles is naturally Maddie.

Bowen stared into Maddie's eyes, lest he miss the slightest detail of his opponent's expression. He didn't want to let go of even a glance from Maddie, and in the face of an opponent of this level, he had to show the highest degree of concentration.

Maddie seemed to notice Bowen's concentration, grinned slightly, and jerked into the bottom right corner. Bowen also looked in the direction, but Maddie had already started to accelerate.

"Oops, fooled again!" For a moment, Bowen noticed a smile on Maddie's lips, and then he knew his intentions, but it was too late.

Maddie jumped two steps and made a pullup jump shot to make it 49:59.

Popovich stood up at once, he was almost a cup, he was scored 13 points in 35 seconds by this guy back then, and now he was scared when he saw Maddie turn on the scoring mode.

Here, Duncan steadily hit the basket and returned 2 points.

Maddie held the ball again, this time straight to the basket, where Duncan, Muhammad and Bowen all stopped him. But with a flick of Maddie's wrist, the ball disappeared from the pile. Jefferson was running under the basket when the ball from the slit was stuffed into his hand, and Jefferson got the ball and dunked it!

Arenas is getting more and more impatient, and he has always had problems with his temper. So much so that a few years later, Popovich commented on him: "The ball skills are first-rate, the physical fitness is second-rate, and the self-control is third-rate." At this time, he was hot-headed, put aside his tactics and began to fight personally. But Billups isn't a vegetarian, and Chauncey isn't much of a defensive stalwort, but at least it's not a drag.

Arenas couldn't find much of a shot under pressure from his opponent, and when time was running out, he finally remembered his teammate and barely passed the ball. But the Spurs' tactics are to run according to the rhythm, and after this point in time, even the teammates don't know what the general thinks, and they don't know how to play. The pass was too deflected and went straight into Maddie's hands.

"Bruce!" Popovich shouted: "Stop him for me!" ”

But Bowen has more than enough heart but not enough strength, and after Maddie accelerates and runs, Bowen is out of reach. Maddie simply jumped up after crossing the free throw line, and her body stretched straight in the air, directly coming to a long-distance gliding slam.

"Wonderful!" The atmosphere at the scene exploded instantly, the Toyota Center seemed to be so enthusiastic, and everyone had only Maddie in their eyes, and at this moment he was the basketball god of the Rockets.

"McGrady glides like he has wings and dunks." Barkley also praised: "He has wings on his back, he is simply a basketball angel in Houston!" ”

Maddie was also excited after the dunk, and he waved to the audience with a smile on his face, but he didn't notice the bloodshot eyes behind him.

If Stone Buddha Duncan is like Superman Clark. Kent is generally the Spurs' greatest hero, then Bruce. Bowen is like Batman Bruce. Vane is also the guardian of the shadows of the Holy City. He had mediocre talent, limited offensive means, and basically relied on the bottom corner three-pointers to make a living, so that no one cared about him in the draft and finally lost the draft. But Bowen was extraordinarily resilient, going to the CBA (a basketball league in the United States) and then the French league, eventually returning to the NBA with a kraft candy-style sticky defense. But he couldn't play at all as a substitute at first, until 2001, when he joined the Spurs at the age of 30. Popovich took a fancy to his hooligan temperament, and Bowen was able to complete a season with a full start for the first time in his career. He knows very well that his value is to guard against the opponent's ace star. If you can't do it, you will lose the meaning of your existence.

The Spurs' offense still didn't work, Arenas was in a hurry, and Bowen, the viper, was waiting for an opportunity.

Maddie broke through to the basket again, but Duncan was pulled out of the three-second zone by Bosh, and with a flick of his wrist, he could easily score by putting the ball in the basket as usual.

Bowen snakes out of the hole and pulls Maddie out of the air with a slam of his hand.

At that moment, Wang Yuanfei seemed to see white feathers scattered in the sky.

The Angels of Houston, folded their wings on Toyota. (To be continued.) )
