Chapter Seventy-Nine: Tian Ji Horse Racing?
The Wizards' game was played in Game 3 of the opening day of the playoffs, just after the Texas Civil War between the Spurs and the Rockets.
Yao Ming has already determined that he will not be able to play in the playoffs, and he will have to recuperate for at least three months. But the imperial court still chose to broadcast this playoffs, even if Yao Ming did not play, there were many Rockets fans in China.
As a result, the Spurs easily knocked down the Rockets, and Boss Fro, who entered the playoffs for the first time, felt very uncomfortable, whether it was from the court atmosphere or the defensive intensity, and the result was a crazy iron. The team's main players are still like this, and the other Rockets players are even more immobile.
The reason why the youth army is not favored is the lack of playoff experience, and the so-called playoff experience actually refers to the fact that in the playoffs, the atmosphere and competition intensity on the court are different from the regular season, and many of the technical moves that you can easily make are deformed under defensive pressure, and many of the empty seats that can be run in the regular season cannot be run in the playoffs.
In the face of the weak interior line of the Rockets, the old generals seem to have a second spring, not to mention Tim Duncan, who is in full swing. The absolute advantage of the inside line is reflected in the help of the outside line, and the Spurs, who have a large number of empty positions, frequently fire on the outside. At the end of the game, the Rockets were beaten into a sieve on the outside.
A fiasco is inevitable for the Rockets, and now the Rockets are worried about whether they will be swept away. Duncan's Spurs are the NBA's favorite team to sweep opponents, although Duncan's record of 9 solo sweeps was later broken by LeBron James, but LeBron is tossing back and forth between the two teams after all.
The Rockets' game ended so quickly that there was a half-hour window before the Wizards' game against the Bucks began. This made the imperial court station just take out the documentary of Yao Ming's first NBA season that had just been made and broadcast it.
The emergence of Yao Ming is an important opportunity for the entire imperial court. Every time an NBA game is broadcast, the ratings skyrocket.
The domestic NBA audience is getting wider and wider, and there are more and more basketball fans. This is also due to the fact that the basketball court facilities are smaller, and there are more people who can play the ball.
It's too difficult to build a football stadium in a remote area, and in Hu Qingniu's previous life, the stadium in his small county town was overgrown with weeds, usually used to execute death row prisoners.
I have to say that the promotional film production skills of the imperial court station are very good, and Hu Qingniu has a lot of classic CG clips in his mind.
The grievances of the giants of football in the world, the pride of the sky, the place where the miracle of the NBA happened, play for this. Many classic elements and angles allow Chinese people to understand the charm of football and basketball, the two top ball sports leagues.

The Wizards' game is long overdue as the finale on the first day of the playoffs, and the Wizards, with many stars, have become the most popular team in the NBA, and even the Purple and Gold Lakers are slightly inferior.
The game between the Wizards and the Bucks gathered the eyes of the whole world, and Hu Qingniu couldn't help but be a little nervous. Fortunately, there was still Old Man Doug, and in a few words, Hu Qingniu was called to his senses.
The Wizards didn't disappoint fans around the world from the start, with the outside trio of pennies, Jordan and Hill constantly attacking the basket. It is to bully the Bucks' guard line is small, and there is no frame protection on the inside.
In a league with many center-forwards in the current frame, the only option available to the Bucks is Dan Gazuric, the No. 5 rookie in the second round this season, a featureless big man from The Hague, Netherlands.
Compared with the Wizards' flying offense, not only is the offense flooding, but also the sales are applauding. The Bucks' offensive approach is a bit lame, Payton and Cassel are not playmaker guards, but the individual offense is not up to the level of a real sharp knife, and there is no signature stunt like Manu's European step and Ray Allen's three-pointer.
Faced with the backcourt combination of Jordan and Penny, Payton and Cassel couldn't be aggrieved, unable to run, collide, or even dribble.
The Wizards' first playoff game turned into a naked carnage, and to the cheers of the Wizards fans at home, the 140-90 Wizards showed Payton without mercy how big the gap between the two teams was.
However, Hu Qingniu didn't like this feeling very much, although the team's big victory was the implementation of his decision, but he did not have the slightest sense of existence during the game. I can only sit on the sidelines and keep pouring drinks, and by the way, let's see if there are any new beautiful girls in the MCI arena today.
Not to mention the famous singer Marilyn Kelly came to the sidelines, a white beauty with a strong body, and a pair of big breasts can suffocate people to death. However, this is Jordan's fan sister, Hu Qingniu has already heard of it, so he doesn't have any ideas.
Payton didn't attend the post-game press conference, and at this time, he would definitely be asked about the embarrassing remarks before the game, so he slipped away early. The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, and when he wins Jordan next time, he will come out and pick up the matter and say it.
Two days later, the Wizards' home court, the second game between the Wizards and the Bucks. Without any prelude, the Wizards directly pulled the game back to the same rhythm as the previous two days.
The big guard kept breaking through the interior, and the Bucks didn't have a problem with it. As a last resort, George Carr had no choice but to change the lineup and use the taller small forward Anthony Mason Jr. as a shooting guard.
Defensively, but the offensive Cassel led the bench to attack Larry Hughes when Jordan came off. At the same time, Jordan's old teammate Tony Kukoc, who has an excellent offense, was taken from the power forward position, and the second team was also mentioned to play the colander of Jeffries.
The Wizards' usual strategy has always been to rest early after taking the lead, so there is not much difference between the bench and the starting minutes.
As soon as the Wizards came on the bench, Hu Qingniu found out that something was wrong, Larry Hughes and Jeffries' defense was no problem facing ordinary NBA rotations, but offensive players like Kassel and Kukoc were very difficult.
This is, isn't this Tian Ji horse racing?
First use a player who is not strong to fill the number, anyway, the starters are all blown up. Putting the real killer feature in the second lineup, it has really worked wonders so far.
But Hu Qingniu didn't want to put Jordan and Hill back on the court, but watched from the sidelines with peace of mind. After all, Tian Ji used three horses in horse racing, and George Karl couldn't even get five horses in his hands.
You can only bring a few donkeys to the field, and no matter how powerful the strategy is, it will have to overturn.
The defense can't be guarded, and in turn, Larry Hughes and Jeffries have also made the Bucks suffer a little on the offensive end, and Jeffries's stature is considered open in small forwards. The Bucks in the second lineup can still barely lose points.
It was the turn of the starters, and the game quickly lost its suspense. In the end, the Wizards defeated the Bucks 121-99.
