The bad news came out after the game, Stoudemire lost his balance on the ground due to overexerting force in the basket, resulting in a ligament strain in his right leg and will miss the next 1-2 weeks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Wang Yuanfei heard the news, he didn't feel relaxed, but he was very melancholy.

Far Fly was a die-hard Rockets fan, but he was also a fan of Iverson and Nash. When the Rockets were eliminated, he always switched to favor the Suns, only to be disappointed again and again. He still vividly remembers that Nash was always unlucky despite his good martial arts. In '05, the Suns injured big man Joe. Johnson, who was eliminated by the Spurs, and the most of the four losses did not exceed 10 points; In '06, the Suns lost the general Stoudemire again, and was finally killed by the Mavericks; In '07, the Suns finally ushered in a full lineup, but they were heavily penalized in a player clash, with Stoudemire and Dio suspended for one game. In the case of a 2-2 draw, the Suns were not in line with the lineup and were captured by the Spurs in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and finally lost 2-4 and missed the Western Finals. And over time, Suns boss Robert. Savo's businessman is a businessman who is eager for quick success, often leading short-term trading, and it seems that every player can be put on the shelf once he has been trained. These short-sighted decisions have caused great damage to the team, and Nash admitted in an interview with reporters: "Our biggest challenge is that there is no continuity in the lineup, and there are always a lot of new teammates who need to adapt to each other. ”

But the stadium is like a battlefield, and Yuanfei at this time will never give Nash unnecessary sympathy. Just like against Nowitzki in the first round, the best way to respect Nash is to play at full strength.

In this way, on May 11, the full lineup of the Rockets faced the Suns, who lacked the top scorer at home. D'Antoni was forced to put Mageloyle in the starting line-up, and although he was a good starting center, he was slow and out of step with the Suns' overall tempo. At this time, there is no general in Shu, Liao Hua, who has become a pioneer, and he has to do it or not.

In the first quarter, it still fell into the rhythm of the Rockets, and the remnants of the Sun were helpless in the face of the Rockets who were present at the same time as CTM, and the Rockets gained an advantage when they blossomed at more points. But then the situation changed abruptly, Tang Shuai arranged Yao Ming's rest as usual, but the Rockets veteran Magloyle suddenly broke out, he hit Pullsbyra in a row, and scored 10 points on 4 of 4 shots in a single quarter, and Nash also suddenly sent 10 assists in the first half, and soon the visitors overtook the score.

Yao Ming was anxious again and began to take the initiative to ask for battle, but Tang Shuai calmly asked him to wait and see.

Sure enough, the Rockets had not yet fully exerted their strength, and they gradually caught up with the score just by relying on Maddie's singles. The reason is obvious, the Suns have lost one of their most consistent singles points, and their offense is completely dependent on Nash, who has been fighting the court, playing almost the full half, and by the third quarter his fitness is already difficult.

In the fourth quarter, when the Rockets appeared again with a full lineup, they had already entered the harvest stage. In the end, the Suns were defeated by the Rockets 100-112 away. Magloyle contributed a team-high 25+10, while Nash also scored 24+2+14.

On May 13, the Toyota Center won another 98:107 Rockets at home, and Nash had to look up to the sky and sigh, only hating the unfair fate and uneven luck.

On May 15, the two sides returned to the West Jersey Arena for a crucial life-and-death battle. Nash still gave it his all, hitting consecutive long-range shots while continuing to provide assists to his teammates, and he led the Suns and Rockets to fight to the death.

Two minutes before the end of the game, Parker forced a break to foul Marion, and he made two free throws to extend the deficit to six points.

The crowd at the West Jersey Arena was almost desperate, the Rockets were too strong to match the home team. But most of the audience still prayed for the home team, hoping that a miracle would happen, hoping that they would close their eyes and pray and open their eyes to see the news of victory.

At a time when the crowd had almost given up on the game, there was still an indomitable fighter who kept fighting.

The fast break was defended, and the positional battle teammates were unreliable, and Nash chose to come by himself. He controlled the ball and leaned on Parker to wipe into the Rockets' restricted area, and made a pull-up jump shot to make it 116:112.

At the critical moment, Jefferson made a pass error, Barbosa quickly broke the ball successfully, and Nash followed with his tired legs, receiving Barbosa's return pass and shooting a three-point shot!

Generally speaking, coaches do not advocate for players to choose three-point shots during the fast break because of the high success rate of fast break layups. But for the sun at this time, it is good to be able to chase one more point.

The knife is up and down, and the three-point shot is in! In the past, Nash's passing talent overshadowed the brilliance of the marksman, but now the loss of Xiaosi has completely freed him.

"It's only one point away, and I'm fighting with the rocket!" He also shouted encouragement to his teammates.

The ball was handed over to Yao Ming, and he forced the inside, but Magloyer, who has never been his opponent, completely resisted his singles this time.

"For the sake of Stoudemire, for the sake of Nash, I have to defend this ball even if I risk my life!" Little Brother Ma said angrily.

Yao Ming turned around and missed the basket with a hook hand, and Xiao Ma picked up the rebound and immediately made a long pass to Nash to launch a fast break. Nash needed only seven and a half seconds to complete the attack, he quickly pushed to attract the defense and distributed it to the open Marion, who relied on an unreliable long-range shot to overtake the score, but unfortunately stepped on the line, and the two points were effective.

Team Rocket woke up like a dream. Just now they obviously had a huge advantage, but they were overtaken by their opponents. And time is running out for them.

Billups also launched a fast break, he missed his own strong shot, but Maddie came out and stretched out his long arm to dunk the ball into the basket, 118:117!

With 38 seconds left in the game, Richardson broke through for a layup and was served by Yao Ming's defensive hat, and Billups got the ball to launch a fast break. The tired Suns players were unable to return to the sky and watched as Chauncey made an easy layup.

In the last 9 seconds of the Suns' last attack, D'Antoni gambled on Jackson's three-point miss and finally lost. Nash contributed an astonishing 27+5+16 throughout the game, an absolute superstar performance. It's a pity that in the face of the fate of being eliminated, the gorgeous data can only pale in comparison.

The Rockets defeated their opponents 4-1 and reached the Western Conference Finals.

Soon the other three groups of matchups were also completed: on May 16, the Heat defeated the Pacers 4-1 and reached the Eastern Conference Finals; On May 19, the Spurs relied on Duncan's jumper in the last 0.5 seconds to defeat Seattle 98-96 and meet the Rockets 4-2, and on the same day, the Pistons eliminated the Celtics 4-2 at home and met the Heat.

At this time, Maddie couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart. Old rival Spurs, Bowen injured Maddie in the last meeting to make the Rockets regret, this chance for revenge has finally come! (To be continued.) )
