On Jan. 15, the Houstonians welcomed their old rivals, the Spurs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In view of the disadvantage of insufficient rotation in the backcourt, Tang Shuai boldly discharged the twin towers of Yao Ming and Pulzbilla. The effect is surprisingly good, and the defense of the Rockets twin towers in the box is airtight. In particular, Purzbila slashed 13 rebounds in 20 minutes, and Yao Ming also scored 28+8 to abuse Nesterovic in pain. After Popovich adjusted in time, the Spurs sent Hawley to try to pull away the twin towers, and the Rockets adjusted in time to Bosh, who shot faster and more accurately. Coupled with Ginobili's poor condition and repeated iron strikes, the Rockets, who had a weaker lineup on paper, narrowly defeated the strong opponent by 6 points at home, with a record of 24-13, and tied the Mavericks who were fifth in the West at 23-12.

"We did a pretty good job defending those two games, with the Nets scoring 85 points and the Spurs scoring 70 points. Yao Neng loudly commanded his teammates to move on the field, and Chauncy was also reminding his teammates of what they needed to pay attention to, and I was very satisfied. Tomjanovich smiled so that the wrinkles on his face seemed to be missing, "I saw Yao taking on the responsibility of leadership, and I also saw Chauncey playing an auxiliary role." I feel like everyone has really grown, and that's just as pleasant surprise as winning the championship. ”

Yuan Fei nodded again and again when he heard this. Anyone who really loves basketball knows that every year there are three or five championship-level teams, and whoever is in slightly better shape will beat several other teams to win the championship. But as long as everyone can unite and move forward towards victory together, even if they can't win the championship in the end, these efforts are worth it. The sweat paid by athletes is the epitome of basketball, and it is also their youth without regrets.

But the next day, the spirit that had just been condensed was about to change again. Yao Ming came to the training ground early and started his activities. Old Dawson was born as an athlete, and he couldn't bear to instruct Da Yao on footsteps, and the two of them were talking and discussing happily under the basket, and a person behind him walked into the training ground. Yao Ming looked, oh, Maddie is back.

But why does this Maddie look awkward? Old Dawson looked at it, and Maddie seemed to be a lot fatter. During this time, Maddie was recuperating at home, and he also had a personal trainer, so the team didn't worry about his training at all. But at this point, it seems that Maddie has no training to maintain the system at all.

"Tracy, you're back." Billups stepped forward and greeted warmly: "How's your recovery?" Will tomorrow's game be played? ”

"Yes, it should be fine." Maddie smiled.

But soon Maddie couldn't laugh either, and the next day they lost to Memphis by double digits. Maddie scored just 18 points on 6-of-19 shooting. Media coverage has been more forgiving, with they agreeing that Maddie has not fully recovered from his previous injury.

But the Rockets players are speculating whether Maddie is in poor form because of injuries or lack of training. This speculation also affected the atmosphere in the team, and the core team of Yao, which Yuanfei had just created, seemed to be shaken all of a sudden.

In back-to-back games against the Pacers the next day, Maddy scored 16 points on 7-of-15 shooting in the first half, but in the third quarter, he hit 4 consecutive shots and 0 shots, and was immediately replaced and never played again. The Rockets played a wave of counterattacks in the fourth quarter, climaxing and chasing consecutive points, but in the end, they failed to counterattack because they lost too much in the first three quarters. With Jefferson's desperate three-pointer missed, the 87:84 Pacers walked away with the win. After the game, Maddie's knee was found to be waterlogged.

Stagnant water isn't just an injury problem, it's also an attitude problem. There is a saying among athletes that people who have not trained systematically for a long time suddenly increase the training intensity, and the excessive pressure on the knee is easy to cause abnormal function of the synovium, resulting in the inability of synovial fluid to absorb and the formation of knee hydrops. In other words, Maddie's knee water this time is precisely because of the fact that his previous poor form was not due to an old injury, but because he personally did not train hard.

Yuanfei's long-standing worries finally exploded on this day. The person in front of him no longer seems to be his good friend Tracy. McGrady became a stranger. The stranger inadvertently seemed to be about to destroy years of painstaking business.

Far Fei remembered something Alexander had told him. The Houston Chronicle's sports columnist Fran Brown. Billingoli is an old friend of Yali, and the two had a discussion many years ago. Billingoli suggested that Alexander trade Maddy, and Alexander was taken aback, as Maddie was playing just right and was considered the best rising star of the younger generation of players and could succeed O'Neal in the future. And Billingoli has been in the circle for a long time, and naturally has his own unique reasons for making whimsical suggestions. He believes that Maddie is an introvert who can only play well by himself, and is not good at reminding his teammates and driving them to move forward together, nor can he be a good locker room leader; The second is a lazy personality, which was notorious during the Raptors period. When I first arrived at the Rockets, I was the boss and had a lot of fighting spirit and played very actively. But the country is easy to change its nature, as long as he is given a chance to touch, maybe when he will return to his nature and become slack again (this conversation is a real thing in history. Billingoli is the famous American wheat black).

Alexander dismissed this as nonsense, and later Maddie became the MVP, and Limpoli could only take it as his own eyes, let alone mention it. Alexander shared this conversation with Wang Yuanfei as a joke. But at this time, it seems that Bilemboli may be right.

Maddie took advantage of the water in her knee to recuperate. Yuanfei was very worried, and finally couldn't help but dial Maddie's personal trainer.

Wayne. Hall is a well-known trainer in the United States, and he is doing jab training with a boxer at this time. The fighter threw his fist at high speed, and Hall took it down one by one with a sponge pad.

"Yes, Jack! That's it, push your left fist a little harder, adjust the rhythm, don't have the same rhythm for every punch. Hall shouted as he picked up his fist, "Oh, my phone is ringing." Sorry, please take a break and let me go and mute. ”

"Dut...... "The sound of hanging up on the other side ...... made Yuanfei very helpless.

"I don't have any contact with people in the first place, so it's normal not to answer my calls. But I really can't feel at ease with Tracy. Yuanfei's mind seemed to go back to 20 years ago, when his American girlfriend from his previous life gave him a playoff ticket to the Toyota Center on his birthday, when Maddie had just joined the Rockets and he saw Maddie play for the first time. It was in that game that Maddie showed her power and scored 37 points. The Rockets and Mavericks tied 3-3 and entered the tiebreaker.

But Maddie is like that, one thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. In the next tie-break battle, Maddie kept hitting the iron, and the defensive end was repeatedly out of position. The role players were even more inadequate, scoring only 16 points in total except for Yao Mai. Although Yao Ming took out all his strength to cut 33+10, the rocket still lost to the Mavericks by 40 points and was eliminated.

And in the next few years, Yuanfei witnessed the defeat of the rocket again and again at the Toyota Center.

In the 05-06 season, due to Yao Mai's injury, the Rockets only achieved a dismal record of 34 wins and failed to make the playoffs.

In the 06-07 season, the Rockets lost a good game in a good situation of leading 2-0 and were overturned by the Jazz 4-3.

In the 07-08 season, Yao Ming was seriously injured and missed. Maddie led the team to lose to the Jazz again.

In the 08-09 season, with the continuous reinforcements of Manager Morey, the Rockets' bench was enriched. Despite Maddy's absence from the playoffs, Yao Ming still led the team to crush the Trail Blazers, successfully reached the second round, and lost seven games against the championship team Lakers. Yao Ming was also injured in this round of fierce battles until his retirement in the future, which was also the last flash of Da Yao's career.

And Maddie became a dispensable role in the team, and was eventually sold at a low price. And he failed to reappear as a superstar after switching to many teams, and finally retired depressed.

Could it be that Maddie in this world will follow the same path in the previous life? (To be continued.) )
