Chapter 351: The Scales of Victory
With little time left in the game, not only did Hardaway disregard his physical fitness, but Yao Ming also began to be more and more active in reaching out for the ball.
In the face of Dazhi, Yao Ming did not dare to take it lightly. This former idol has always been the object of his chasing, but at the beginning of his arrival in the NBA, he fell into a trough. Yao Ming thought that the other party would never be able to compete with him on the same level again, but Dazhi in the hands of Coach Hu was reborn like a phoenix. The rate of this rise is incredible, and it only takes 2 seasons to go from not playing in the NBA to making it to the All-Star level. And now, Dazhi is almost a matter of time before the Chinese's first championship ring.
Yao Ming sank his waist and his back pressed against Dazhi, he was determined to use the most secure way to attack. With the force under his feet, he leaned his back, felt Dazhi's position, turned his feet upside down, turned to face the basket, and ejected backwards, raising his arms high.
Hu Qingniu muttered on the sidelines.
"There is, Yao Ming's most difficult offense to defend, from a 2.26-meter backward jumper!"
At this moment, everyone was shocked by this backward jumper, in the past, Yao Ming could also lean back, but they were all backward jumpers with their feet, like now, they really jumped into the air, and the standard posture of the back-to-back appeared on a giant like Yao Ming, which was really amazing!
So much so that Dazhi, who had been engrossed in it, was also slightly stunned, and seeing Yao Ming rise to the top, Dazhi tried to reach out and stretch out his arms.
Unfortunately, it is destined to be useless. Dazhi's long arm stretched out with all his might, and in the end it only touched Yao Ming's elbow.
"Tick!"
The ball went in, and the whistle blew.
2+1!
Dazhi smiled helplessly at Hu Qingniu on the sidelines, as if to say, coach, I really don't blame me, this ball is impossible to prevent.
After the ball was steadily hit, the desperate Rockets fans suddenly found that the point difference had returned to single digits, and suddenly there were some voices.
"WELL DONE, YAO MING!!"
"Keep attacking, lads!! Defeat them!! ”
"Haha! Our center is the strongest in the world, the idiots opposite!! ”
"Yao ~ name! Yao Ming! Annoying! Annoying! To ~~ life! To ~~~ life! ”
……
Optimistic fans sang Yao Ming's song sporadically on the spot, and then it became a collective chorus seconds later.
The momentum of the rocket, it seems, is up!
"Oh! Oh! Oh! What shall I say, Sir Barkley, there seems to be something unpredictable in the game...... Hardaway, the once outstanding talent, and the little Chinese giants showed their blades to the Bobcats. They're telling everyone that they don't have to give up yet...... Kenny Smith excitedly, "and now it's Charlotte's turn to pray that this is just a flash of inspiration, not just the beginning." ”
But this is the beginning after all. Whether it was Wade's eye-sealing tactics or Dazhi's bypass, it failed to achieve results in the following time. Hardaway and Yao Ming teamed up to score consecutive points like chopping melons and vegetables, and finally tied the score before the end.
With a conspicuous 98:98 on the scorer, the score was tied like this. For the first time, the Rockets and their fans felt that victory was so close that they only needed to defend one more shot and make a shot, and the victory would remain in Houston.
Hu Qingniu immediately called a timeout, and he assigned the last chance to Wade.
After pulling Wade aside alone and confessing, he slapped the other party's ass and slapped Wade on the field.
“Go! Go! Go! Kill this TMD game! ”
Serving out of bounds, Wade moved to the left low post without the ball, and just wanted to catch the ball, he was firmly stuck behind Hardaway, "You don't want to pass me, you can't get a basketball here!" ”
Wade had an idea, remembering a move made by Peyton, an old oilman, in training, and pulled up his left hand and foot at the same time, flashing Hardaway in an instant, but stuck in front of Hardaway, and received the basketball as he wished.
Wade squirted trash talk in spout.
"Your defense is no threat to me, it's just in vain."
There was no trace of chagrin in Hardaway's eyes, just a cold stare at his enemy. Seeing that the other party did not answer, Wade's strong back began to exert force backwards, and Hu Qingniu's devil training showed results at this time. Hardaway, who was half a head tall and had an equally strong body, was rarely pushed open by a player in the same position, and Wade seemed to be relaxed, while Hardaway, his teeth clenched at each other, desperately resisting the opponent's squeeze.
was pushed out of position, but Hardaway immediately pounced on him and continued to entangle. Wade's second impact came, which was just a test for him, but this time he used his upright hips to open the way, and Hardaway immediately became untenable, and was ejected two steps backwards.
Taking advantage of the gap, Wade's shoulders leaned towards the baseline, and the baseline quickly entered the inside. Just as Wade was staring at the basket, Yao Ming, who had already been prepared, came with a defense that covered the sky, and the mountain was like a mountain between Wade and the basket, and his arms raised high were like two thousand-year-old trees on the top of the mountain, directly blocking all of Wade's sight.
Now Wade doesn't even have room to shoot, Yao Ming, who is 2.26 meters, is too big in front of Wade who is 1.93 meters, which is a naked height advantage, and he is still a hard injury on the basketball court.
At this time, Hardaway, who reacted, also came up and formed a circle with Yao Ming. Seeing that he was about to be locked in the small space on the edge of the bottom line, Wade suddenly jumped up.
"He's trying to make a foul!" Kenny Smith was unsure.
"Nope! No, he didn't have a chance, Yao had already stood up, and the defensive posture was very standard, and no matter how strict the referee was, he couldn't find a bad guy. ”
Just when everyone thought he was going to make a foul, Wade smashed the ball to the ground.
No, it smashed into Yao Ming's pair of big feet, which were more than 50 yards tall on the floor like stone piers, a huge and immobile target.
Wade's crosshair is good, the basketball smashed Yao Ming's right foot and popped up the bottom line, and all this was seen by the baseline referee.
The Rockets went out of bounds on the 11th, and the ball was still possessed by the Bobcats.
And Yao Ming squatted down and massaged his right toe, wanting to cry without tears, Wade, this kid is not light or heavy, this time the ball is heavier than people stepping on. Fortunately, the old injury on his right foot has been healed, otherwise he would have suffered a lot this time.
Re-baseline serve with 17 seconds left in the round. However, tactics cannot be rearranged. Hu Qingniu looked at Wade worriedly, but Wade gave a smile back, signaling him to be at ease.
Also in the low post on the left, Wade and Hardaway were on the bar again.
"See you again, big ass, you just did a good job, I hope you can escape this time!" Hardaway shattered thoughts.
Wade turned a deaf ear, he was still thinking in his heart, it was no problem to break in again, but how to face Yao Ming's supplemental defense, he was really big......
