While the Wizards haven't done their best, it's still a tough challenge for the Rockets. The current Wizards are so strong that even this bench lineup, which was once abused by the Rockets, can now play on par with the Rockets' starters.

At halftime, a not-so-good news came over the Rockets. At the same time, the Suns faced the Clippers game, the Suns had a 20-point lead at halftime, and Xiao Si played well with 19 points and 10 rebounds in the half, and the game was estimated to be stable.

Yao Ming looked at Boss Fu, Boss Fu looked at the old cat, and the old cat looked at Yao Ming, and everyone on Team Rocket understood that they had no way back.

At the moment, the Rockets are still 3 points behind the Wizards, and they still have a chance. It is said that the mourning soldiers will win, and the current Rocket Team has such a mourning momentum.

In the third quarter, Hu Qingniu changed to the main lineup again, Jordan was still off the court, and now he changed Jordan to play, which is a loss for Jordan's data that was finally brushed up.

Hu Qingniu's expected lead did not happen, and the Rockets stubbornly held the defense. The intensity of the game is no longer an ordinary regular season, and the Rockets' many active and ferocious scrambles have made it impossible for the Wizards to score easily.

But that didn't affect Hu's plan, and it was still five minutes later, when the young bench and Rodman's combined lineup came out. At this time, the Wizards did not open up the point gap and still maintained a three-point gap.

The Rockets still stuck with their starting lineup, and they only had about three minutes of rest in the second quarter.

If this continues, I am afraid that my physical strength will be unbearable, especially Yao Ming, his physical strength is the worst, and he has begun to breathe.

Rudy Tomjanovic, the head coach of the Rockets, watched anxiously from the sidelines, he didn't know that Yao Ming's physical strength had reached its limit, but as long as the team's current situation was under Yao Ming, the inside line would definitely become a breakthrough.

The last 7 minutes of the third quarter are probably the most difficult 7 minutes of Yao Ming's season, he has no physical strength but still gritted his teeth on the court, dragging his body with his brain.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the third quarter, Yao Ming sat directly on the ground, unable to walk.

The team doctor of Team Rocket hurriedly stepped forward and found that it was out of strength.

Boss Fu also came around, this game is all about this little brother to suppress on the inside, whether it is the top defense on the inside or the outside defense, it is Yao Ming's work, if he falls, the last hope of the Rockets to advance to the playoffs will be gone.

"Yao, how are you, can you still get up?" Boss Fu asked with concern.

"Whew! Call! It's okay, it's just that my thighs are very sore, and I don't have physical strength. Yao Ming replied with difficulty, panting.

In the end, Yao Ming had to go back to the visiting team's locker room on the team doctor's stretcher.

After a simple massage and relaxation, Yao Ming stood on the court again in the fourth quarter a few minutes later.

The audience applauded him, the most fascinating moment of competitive sports is such a heroic moment, and he will not give up because of any hardship.

The strongest warrior is not a warrior who never falls, but a warrior who can stand up again after falling.

On the other hand, the Wizards were a little too relaxed in this front, although their strength was very strong, but the long-term victory made them like flowers in a greenhouse, and it was difficult to see a really difficult battle again.

During the break just now, Hu Qingniu deliberately emphasized the vitality and concentration on the court.

"Don't think that the Rockets are much weaker than us, they were undoubtedly better than us in the previous games. Respect every opponent, but also learn from every opponent, what we need to learn from the Rockets is this spirit of never giving up. ”

---

Yao Ming was so tired that Boss Fu no longer passed the ball into the penalty area, and he and the old cat had to bear the burden of scoring.

Boss Fergus stared at the defender in front of him, thinking to himself, it's just Larry Hughes, I can get past him.

Then, one forcibly accelerated, and at once grabbed a half-body lead. Larry Hughes didn't give in, and went straight up, and the two slammed into each other.

Francis shook his body for a moment, but the ball was still firmly in his hands. The emaciated Larry Hughes was bounced off with a single blow.

Golden opportunity! Boss Fu took the opportunity to stride into the inside line.

Seeing that Boss Fu could easily get it, Yao Ming stuck Kwame Brown for Boss Fu so that Boss Fu could complete this layup.

"Huh!"

The two points were in hand, but Yao Ming was still so tired that he was panting, he was too important in this team.

The center has always been the most important position on the court, and they are the closest group to the basket. A strong center can help the team no matter what it does, whether it's offense, defense, covering, or rebounding. If Yao Ming hadn't stuck the opponent in this ball just now, Boss Fu might not have gotten this opportunity.

The ensuing match went into a heated contest and it was a battle for every inch of land.

The Rockets rely on Boss Fu's personal ability and Yao Ming's high-quality interior line. Yao Ming has reduced the task of blocking and dismantling, and now he only needs to stay near the paint area and pay attention for three seconds. Relying on Boss Fernandes's advantage on the current court, the Rockets' score struggled to climb.

The Wizards rely on wholeness and pull it out individually, and none of the Wizards on the court can guarantee the success rate of singles. But they were always on the move, and the Rockets couldn't plug all the holes, which repeatedly allowed the Wizards to shoot in open positions.

However, the Wizards' vacant shooting opportunities are decreasing little by little, and the Rockets are slowly adapting to the Wizards' running habits, and the Wizards are also tired of running.

Unconsciously, the two sides held each other until the last minute of the decisive moment. The Rockets have chased the score to just two points behind.

"It's really a Texas powerhouse!" Hu Qingniu couldn't help but praise Jordan on the sidelines.

The Rockets fought back with a spirit of wanting to make the playoffs.

It's still the ball of the Rockets, Boss Fu can't run anymore, Yao Ming is sweating profusely, and the water flowing out makes his whole body feel thinner.

Boss Fergus took a breath and really broke through slowly around the defender. After being blocked, seeing that his teammates had no vacant seats, he could only force his own shots.

"Rebound!"

As soon as he made a move, Boss Fu knew that he didn't have it.

"Bell!"

The basketball popped out of the hoop, Yao Ming just remembered to jump, and suddenly the soles of his feet felt a heart-piercing pain!

Damn, it's the place I just stepped on that started to hurt!

Yao Ming didn't jump, but he still relied on his huge body to hold the advantageous position, and the rebound fell into his hand.
