A tough game is not a bad thing, and the narrow one-point victory after falling behind for most of the half helped the Rockets players sound the alarm bell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Yuanfei and Ah Shuai agreed that it would be easier to ensure victory by maintaining such a vigilant state. It's the same even when you go to Dallas away.

But there is a problem in terms of public opinion. Houston fans have complained about the delay in the return of star McGrady, leaving them with little interest. Previously, the official caliber of the Rockets has always said that Maddie may return in the second round of the playoffs, but fans are looking forward to the stars and the moon and still not looking forward to Maddy's figure. Especially recently, the media revealed that Maddie has begun training with the team, and the hearts of fans are even tighter.

This time, it's really not that an unscrupulous media person like a certain Jin deliberately spread rumors and make trouble, but Maddie really started training with the team. When he joined the training, Ah Shuai quickly assigned an assistant coach to take Maddie and train him separately from the other players.

Adelman and Wang Yuanfei quickly reached a consensus on this issue that Maddie could not be allowed to play casually. The reason is very simple, Maddie's recovery is not ideal. Although his spine was repaired and the old wounds that were difficult to heal were successfully healed, his muscle level had dropped a lot due to being bedridden for too long, and this major surgery would inevitably bring about some other injuries, which according to the ancient Chinese saying called "vitality injury". Maddie lost the first step of the breakthrough he relied on to make famous, and both Jones and Clanton of the Rocket Medical Group said the degradation was likely permanent.

"If Maddie loses his explosiveness, will he still be a superstar?" Adelman asked himself, but there was no answer. He has a lot of coaching experience, but after all, he only took Maddie for a few games and passed by the talented player, and now he can only resign himself to fate.

'My biggest concern is whether the players can still be as confident that we can win the title if they know that Maddie can't play to the level they used to be. Yuan Fei expressed his concerns: "The players have been fighting with confidence before, because we know that there is also Maddie as an ace. Now that the last hole card has become a blank slate, we can not only rely on the cards in our hands, but also lose a potential confidence. ”

However, procrastination is not the way to go. After all, Maddie has almost recovered to this, and no matter how long he drags it out, he will not suddenly return to his former peak athletic level. Yuanfei finally made up his mind.

"Let's make Maddie come back, away in Dallas, play 10 minutes first."

"Is it really good to expose one's shortcomings like this?" Dawson had concerns, too.

"Sooner or later, you can't hide it, and the impact of doing it away from home can be a little smaller, so as not to question it from the home fans. With less time, we can also explain that Maddie is recovering. Yuanfei explained.

And just like that, Maddie was able to start the May 14 game, while Reid returned to the bench and Barrett was on the DNP roster. When the Dallas Mavericks saw Maddy's name on the roster before the game, they were all surprised.

"Maybe it's hard for us to beat such a strong opponent, but we're going to fight until the end and love our fans for Dallas." Nowitzki was the first to take a stand.

"After all, the Rockets achieved such good results without Maddy, and now as soon as he comes back, the team's style of play will change, and the distribution of the ball will be chaotic, maybe this is our chance." Johnson offered a different view.

The cowboys discussed it and felt that the little general's opinion was quite reasonable. I mustered up enough energy to fight the rocket.

This time, the Mavericks changed their starting center again and replaced Diop with him. However, Yao Ming still has a good jump ball, which is his third consecutive jump ball victory over three different opponents. Billups gave the ball to Jefferson in the corner, and he missed a three-point shot. Here, Howard's three-pointers also popped out of the frame, and Maddy took the rebound and dribbled directly forward.

Many fans are nervously holding their breath, the MVP is back, will he lead the Rockets to take out their beloved Mavericks?

Howard stood by and immediately stood up in front of Maddie and handed Jefferson to Harris. Obviously, the Mavericks would rather let Jefferson go than let Maddie go.

But Maddie only glanced sleepily at her opponent, turned her head and passed the ball to Billups. Chaunceo lobbed the ball to Yao Ming, who was in a good position, and the referee's whistle blew at this time, and the attacker violated the rules in three seconds.

Yao Ming shook his head a little embarrassedly, this was a somewhat low-level mistake. Mavericks fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The Novis Foundation Chicken missed the independent shot, and Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and habitually handed it to Billups. Maddie reached out to pick it up, but found that Yao Ming didn't even look at her position. His expression fell silent for a moment.

"They've been playing like this for a season, so maybe they're more used to Reed's presence than I am, right?" He thought with a little sadness.

Billups hit a layup to score the first goal of the game.

Nowitzki shoots. Billups took possession of the ball to the front court, this time in the hands of Maddy.

"Come on, Tracy!" Billups said darkly. If there is one person who the Rockets choose the most trusted Maddie among the players, it is undoubtedly him.

Maddie made a jumper, and Howard immediately pounced on it to block it. saw Maddie's wrist flick, and the ball was handed to Jefferson in the bottom corner. Jefferson took an easy shot against Harris and scored a three-pointer!

Mavericks fans watched in despair as the ball went into the net, and their hearts were devastated. "The MVP of the Rockets is back, and it's still such accurate passing, and it's still so good vision."

After a few rounds of back and forth, Billups made a straight plug to find Maddy, who was one step inside the three-point line, and he finally jumped, still with a high shooting point, still that straight body, standard shooting posture, and shot.

The ball scored 11:8, and Maddie scored his first goal of the game!

The only people on the scene were Nowitzki and Wang Yuanfei, who frowned. As one of the league's top jumpers, Nowitzki observed that Maddie's move was different. "It seems, he jumped a little lower than before? A little less stretched? Nowitzis pondered, "Is it my delusion?" ”

Howard watched Maddie catch the ball several times without attacking, and was shot by Maddie as soon as he relaxed his vigilance, and he felt very uncomfortable. He faced Jefferson's dribble and forced the inside to hit a pull-up jump shot.

"I'm about the same, right?" Yuanfei said to Adelman, "Isn't it time for Maddie to come down and rest?" ”

"Well, find a timeout." Ah Shuai nodded in agreement.

But they overlooked that Billups was so obsessed with creating scoring opportunities for his friends who had just returned, and he broke through and handed it to Maddie.

Maddie got a good shot and had to throw. This time he jumped very high, shot a shot in a very standard shooting posture - three non-sticks!

The scene was in an uproar. (To be continued.) )
