Chapter 484: Best Rookie Yao

The Rockets grabbed a win on the road, and the Grizzlies lost a home court, and the Rockets gained a series advantage, of course, this advantage is invisible, and it can be lost at any time.

On April 22, the Rockets returned to their home court.

Grizzlies away to the goal.

The Grizzlies are menacing, and the Rockets follow through on the strategy of the previous game.

But in the opening, the main force was dumb, and the Grizzlies opened with a wave of 11:2.

Qiao Hai switched to Carlos Boozer in the back hand, and then, Boozer continued to play singles in the low post, and immediately exploded, scoring 16 points in a single quarter.

Relying on Boozer's outburst, the Rockets trailed the Grizzlies by 3 points at 26:29 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies continued to press the Rockets, and in this quarter they extended their four-point lead.

After halftime, the Rockets trailed by seven points at 43-50.

In the third quarter, the Rockets further trailed by 5 points in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies widened the gap in a wave, and their lead suddenly reached more than 20 points, and the Grizzlies sealed the victory in advance.

In the end, the Rockets lost the game with a big score of 87-108.

"Back at home, the Rockets immediately lost the away advantage they had grabbed, and after this loss, the overall score became 2:1 and the Grizzlies took the lead."

"For the Rockets, this loss is nothing less than bad news."

Everyone was feeling sorry for the Rockets' fiasco, and ESPN's Stephen Smith began to talk about how the Grizzlies could solve the Rockets in a matter of games.

"A 21-point loss, after a close match in the first two games, was enough for the Rockets to recognize how far they could from the Grizzlies, who are a championship-caliber team and the Rockets are just a team that barely made the playoffs."

"The gap is finally being shown in Game 3 of the series, and maybe now it's time to talk about whether the Grizzlies will solve the Rockets in a couple of games, whether it's going to be two games in a row, or whether they're going to let one away game and then two games in a row?"

Stephen Smith is right in saying that through this loss, Qiao Hai has a deep understanding of the gap between the Rockets and the Grizzlies.

In this game, the Rockets have played well enough, and Carlos Boozer's outburst is something that no one expected.

Originally, relying on Boozer's outburst, the Rockets could drag the game to the final moments as they did in the first two games.

Or even rely on the outbursts of role players to win the game, as in the second game.

But in this defeat, the rocket lost badly, and it couldn't be more miserable!

In the first three quarters, on both offensive and defensive ends, they were completely blown up by the Grizzlies, and the Rockets reaped a 21-point defeat, Maddie couldn't be limited at all, and the other players of the Grizzlies also broke out at the same time, helping Maddie attract defensive attention.

The rocket is completely powerless!

The reason for the complete inability to parry is also very simple, as an old coach, Hubie Brown has finally woken up.

In the first two games, the Grizzlies' style of play was Maddy's single-point outburst, Billups, Pau Gasol and roughly went their separate ways, but this style of play relied too much on Maddy's individual play.

And the Rockets' response is to use different defensive players to consume Maddy, and the first game was okay, and the Grizzlies' other players were in good shape.

In the second game, the Grizzlies' other players had problems, roughly and Pau Gasol fell into a foul crisis, Billups was not in good shape, and in this game, Maddy was unable to support himself, and the Rockets won the game because of it.

In this game, Hubi Brown made adjustments and added some cooperation between Maddie and Billups, and the Rockets' defense could only strangle a single point, which was quickly blown up by the Grizzlies' cooperation.

Hubie Brown's awakening means that the advantage of the Rockets is no longer there, and the gap between the two teams is already very large.

With such a huge gap, Qiao Hai knew that if he still wanted to win, he had to come up with something, and there would be gains and losses.

There were still five status cards available in the system's inventory, and he decided to use one of them first to win the all-important next match, the next battle, and they could only win and not lose.

If they lose, the Grizzlies will get a match point.

……

……

On April 24th, at Compaq Center, the fourth game of the series is about to begin.

Before the start of the game, the lighting and arrangement in the center of the stadium was completely different from usual, and a black platform was placed in the center of the stadium, and the lights were suddenly dimmed.

Boom!

Amid the frantic boos at the Compaq Center, the lights suddenly lit up!

The voice of the league's official host rang out at the scene: "Now, please NBA league president, Mr. David Stern!" ”

David Stern walked out of the aisle in embarrassment, and he appeared with the Best Rookie trophy!

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai patted Yao Ming on the shoulder: "This is your first personal trophy in the NBA, take it as a starting point and work hard." ”

Yao Ming nodded a little shyly, he knew that before the game of this game, he would be the absolute protagonist!

Qiao Hai encouraged Yao Ming from an angle similar to that of an elder, and after Yao Ming nodded, he also looked at the Best Rookie trophy that had been placed on the black platform in the center of the field.

After a long, smelly official remark, David Stern finally took the microphone and announced: "The winner of the 2002-2003 regular season rookie of the season is the center from the Houston Rockets!" Yao! ”

The boos immediately turned into frantic and deafening cheers!

"Yao Ming! Yao! ”

"Yao Ming! Yao! ”

“……”

Yao Ming, who is 2.26 meters tall, walked out of the sidelines, he was very conspicuous, and he was a head taller than all the players present.

"Congratulations Yao Ming!"

In CCTV's live broadcast room, Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng were also very excited.

"The best rookie of the 2002-2003 regular season, Yao Ming made history, he won the first personal honor trophy of his career, and he has already begun to accumulate personal honors!"

David Stern handed the trophy to Yao Ming, who lifted it to the frantic cheers of the Compaq Center......

In Yao Ming's acceptance speech, Qiao Hai became the protagonist.

Da Yao thanked Qiao Hai, he knew that a large part of his growth depended on Qiao Hai's help, Qiao Hai's training plan made him feel very comfortable and smooth, and helped him improve quickly.

Qiao Hai's reuse of tactics has made all NBA practitioners see Yao Ming's personal strength and potential!

It can be said that without Qiao Hai, there would be no Yao Ming, who has improved rapidly this season!

Of course, in addition to Qiao Hai, Yao Ming also thanked the former head coach of the Rockets, Rudy Tomjanovic, Tang Shuai let Yao Ming see the cruelty of the NBA, if you don't work hard, even if you are the champion, you will not get a chance.

Yao Ming thanked Hakim Olajuwon, without Olajuwon, there would be no Yao Ming's now skillful singles footsteps.

He also thanked his teammates at the end, without which Yao Ming would not have been able to get a relaxed tactical environment......
