At the beginning of the third overtime, Jefferson used a breakthrough to send a wonderful pass to Yao Ming, who scored easily with a hook to give the Rockets a 114-116 lead. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Terry immediately returned with 2 points. Maddie missed a three-point shot, but Jefferson grabbed the rebound and handed it to Maddie again. Maddie stretched her arms lightly and threw deft her. It's a pity that I missed the basket again.

"Tracy is so tired! Usually he can shoot this kind of ball! Billups, who was on the bench, said unwillingly.

Yao Ming grabbed an offensive rebound and made a rebound, and the 116:118 Rockets took the lead again!

"It's inevitable that the Hawks will lose rebounds in the backcourt because their starting center and second center have already been fouled." Kenny. Smith explained: "The Rockets' young center Yao Ming completely dominated the interior line, and the Hawks lost their armor on the inside. ”

That's right, the Hawks' backup center Rebraxia left the game with six fouls in the fourth quarter, and starting center Pulzbila also left the game with a full foul in the second overtime. Now the center on the Eagles field is a substitute for the bench, Mamado from Senegal. Ndiaye, a fringe player who averaged only 3 points and 4 rebounds per game.

Terry hit a three-pointer to overtake the score, but Yao Ming immediately singled Ndiaye to take the lead, 119-120.

The Hawks players have been nowhere near as bench rotational as the Rockets, despite having an extra day off in the schedule. By the time it was three overtime, the main players were already very tired. Jackson and Sulla drew fouls on the Rockets, but each made 1 of 2 free throws. The Rockets failed to attack twice, and the score fell behind again.

But Sula still made a difference, causing Maddie to leave the game with six fouls, and Billups came on as a substitute. The crowd applauded Maddie as if he had returned victoriously instead of being fouled.

Yao Ming won again in singles, and the 121-122 immortal Rocket took the lead again.

With only 23 seconds left in the game, several of the Eagles' scorers were running out of options. Coach Stotts was forced to make a risky move, and he set up a tactic for Ndiaye to strike the crucial goal.

But the ability is not something that whimsy can compensate for, and this ball eventually stumbles out of the basket. Yao Ming protected the rebound, and there were less than 24 seconds left, and the Hawks players could only foul, otherwise the Rockets players could slowly control the ball and wait for the game to end with a one-point lead.

Billups made 2 of 2 free throws with six seconds remaining, and the Hawks had to gamble on a game-tying three-pointer. This time, Sura hit the iron, Yao Ming protected the last key rebound, and the game ended.

The home fans were so enchanted that cheers could still be heard in the stadium long after the game was over. It's so cool to watch. When the home team was dragged into overtime by Crawford's three-point equalizer, many fans complained non-stop. But seeing such a wonderful and intense three-overtime game, everything was worth it.

CTM was certainly the man of the game. Maddie contributed 28+8+9 and a key three-pointer in overtime; Billups also hit a comeback three-pointer to make it 17+3+7, while Yao Ming scored eight points on 4-of-5 shooting to completely dominate the third overtime. He played 50 minutes in the whole game, slashed 41+16+7 on 15-of-21 shooting, and also caused the Hawks' two centers to foul 6 fouls (real data in history, 41 points is also Yao Ming's NBA single-game scoring record in history).

But the game seemed to drain the Rockets' players, and they lost to San Antonio two days later, scoring just 77 points. Twice in a month, the winning streak was ended by opponents.

The treacherous schedule continues, and they return home for their fourth game in five days, this time against the Cavaliers. The suspense of the game lasted until the last minute, and in the end, the Cavaliers lost to the stronger Rockets 84-90. "Little Emperor" James was deflated again on the offensive end, only getting 11+7+5. It's the Cavaliers' starting power forward, Carlos. Boozer played well, contributing 16+18 throughout the game.

On Feb. 27, the Rockets beat the Trail Blazers by 4 points at home. Wallace is gone, but the Trail Blazers still have a star-level interior liner, Zach in the third year. Randolph. This black fat dun cut the 17+17 limelight in this game, completely overpowering Yao Ming who was 13+4. But the Trail Blazers' outside line can't compete with Maddie, and their biggest outside star is none other than "flying squirrel" Damon. Stoudemire, Maddy's 31+5+5+5 (steals) performance proved that he is the brightest superstar on the court.

Two days later, the Rockets capsized in the gutter and lost again to the underdog SuperSonics in a three-point battle. The supersonic outside line can be described as multi-point flowering, hitting three-pointers repeatedly. Radmanovic made 4 of 4 shots, Ray Radmanovic made 4 of 4 shots. Allen made 3 of 6 shots and Lewis made 2 of 3. For the Rockets, Maddy only shot 2 of 9, Billups also shot 1 of 5, Oku shot 1 of 4, and Turkoglu shot 1 of 6, and the low shooting percentage made the Rockets lose at home.

On March 3, the Rockets sat at the Toyota Center to welcome the challenge of their old rival Lakers. This time, Kobe and Maddy seemed to be suddenly not more organized than scorers, and they kept competing on passing, and finally Kobe contributed a quasi-triple-double of 18+8+13, and Maddie also had 22+7+10. Under the continuous passing of the two, the two inside giants both scored highly. O'Neal had 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks, and Yao Ming had 33 points and 8 rebounds. In the final 31 seconds of the game, Bryant hit a crucial rebounding shot, and then Yao Ming hit an iron to bury the victory, and with Fisher's two free throws, the score was finally fixed at 100:97.

The March game started with a home loss, but that didn't shake the Rockets' resolve to win. They immediately played the mighty Timberwolves on the road until the last minute, and in the last 30 seconds, thanks to Maddy's miraculous assist, Turkoglou scored the winning goal. The old Cassel's 25 points and 13 assists once again outperformed Billups, and Garnett also seized on the weak fault of the Rockets' No. 4 position and slammed it down, cutting down 32+18. It's a pity that the opponent can't stand up to the other side to bloom more, and in the end the rocket takes away the victory.

(Note: Garnett's shooting ability at this stage has improved significantly from earlier in his career.) He started the book with a 38.6 percent jump shooting percentage in the '00-01 season and 43.8 percent in the '03-04 season. For comparison, Aldridge, who was famous for his "accurate mid-range shooting" in the 15-16 season, was only 42.8%, so Garnett couldn't be shot when he reached this level of jumper)

Fight the Mavericks again the next day. Nowitzki actually had a rare hand abnormality and repeatedly hit the iron, but the Mavericks still resisted to the end with perseverance, and finally lost by 6 points. Nash's 22+4+9 contribution was the best player for the Mavericks, and Nowitzki only shot 7-of-19, only got 18 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, but had 9 steals (a truly bizarre statistic in history).

Next, against the Clippers, Hornets, and Grizzlies, Maddy contributed another 41-point superstar performance. The Rockets hold the top spot in the league.

But their main adversary had internal problems first.
