Chapter 62: The Reunion of the Old Feud (First Update!) )

Not only are they right, but the lineups of both sides are exactly the same as in the memories of their previous lives.

It was an absolute coincidence, and it just happened.

Unless history maliciously deviates, the Black Eight will definitely continue to be staged.

This odds, if you buy it, it will be faster than any lottery ticket.

If he is ruthless enough, he will have enough funds to fulfill his promise and start praising Red Hathaway.

And not betting on Rocket-related games is not against league rules.

Swallowing his saliva, Tang Tian pointed to this group of opponents and said, "From my professional basketball point of view, it is more reliable to buy this." ”

"This? No way? I don't pay much attention to the NBA, but I know that the Mavericks made it to the Finals last year, and this year they are the first in the league, and the Warriors can't beat them at all. Hathaway stood up in surprise.

Because he was too close, Tang Tian's head received a soft "heavy blow".

"So it's my professional eye." Tang Tiantou said without turning around.

Hathaway's face was slightly red, and seeing that Tang Tian didn't react, she continued: "Then I'll listen to you, I'll buy a thousand of this." ”

"Hmm."

Tang Tian nodded, put down the newspaper, and continued, "It's time to eat, right?" You go and help your aunt. ”

"Huh? Oh. Hathaway turned and went into the room.

Seeing Hathaway enter, Tang Tian took a long breath, and then quickly got up and went to the toilet.

At that moment just now, his bloody body had an instinctive reaction, and it would be embarrassing if Hathaway saw it.

On the night he returned to Houston, Tang Tian called the company's people to put their liquidity into the betting site.

1 million bought the Warriors to win.

1 million bought the Warriors to win 4-2.

This is all the company's liquidity, for him, betting on the right is a big profit, and losing the bet actually doesn't matter so much, with Swift's current ability to absorb money, sooner or later he can earn it back.

After throwing the money, he didn't pay attention to this part anymore, and turned to focus all his energy on the next first round.

Rockets vs. Jazz.

In the previous life, in the 06~07 season and the 07~08 season, the two teams met in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and both times they lost regrettably, which became a knot in the hearts of fans who can never let go.

Especially in the 06~07 season, the Rockets went down two cities first, but they were dragged to the seventh tie by the Jazz team and unfortunately lost.

After the crossing, the two teams still meet, and this coincidence can definitely be called fate.

It's just that this Rockets team is no longer the Rockets team, the addition of strong role players such as Millsap and Blake, and the offensive and defensive system that Tang Tian created for this team have made a qualitative change in this team.

Of course, the most important point is that the coach of this team is Tang Tian, and he doesn't know too much about the strengths and weaknesses of the Jazz team.

"Guys, play the way you've played a season, the victory is yours, don't panic no matter what happens, because I'm standing last for you."

Before setting out on the expedition, Tang Tian did not make any bold statements, but just said these words in the calmest tone.

After hearing this, the Rockets players were also quite relaxed, recuperating for most of the season, and waiting for the playoffs to start.

With an hour to go before the start of the game, players from both sides entered the field one after another to warm up.

The Jazz also looked relaxed, as they had home-court advantage despite winning eight fewer games than the Rockets because of the rules.

Before the game, an ESPN reporter interviewed Jazz starting power forward Carlos Boozer.

"Carlos, the outside world thinks the Jazz are going to lose this series, what do you think?"

"They're all wrong." Boozer laughed and said, "They think so because they don't know what we're really good at. ”

"Oh, you look confident, can you tell us about the source of your confidence?"

"Everything, our blocking will make it difficult for the Rockets to parry, and our defense will completely suppress their defense, to be honest, I really can't find a reason for us to lose." Boozer said without hesitation.

"Haha, I hope you can get your wish." The reporter laughed.

Boozer also laughed at the reporter's reaction, but his smile was more contemptuous.

Everyone looks down on the Jazz, but only he and his Jazz know that they are the winners.

The Rockets' home stadium was packed, fans wore home jerseys, and the entire Toyota Center was a sea of red.

In the tsunami of fans, the introduction of the starters of both sides was completed on the spot.

The Rockets, for their part, continued their regular-season lineup, with a combination of Blake and Maddy on the outside, Battier and Millsap on the front, and Yao Ming on the inside.

On the Jazz's side.

The starting point guard is an All-Star and the "brain" of the Jazz on the court, Deron Williams.

The starting point guard was Derek Fisher, who had a classic 0.4-second smash in the past.

The starting small forward is Andrei Kirilenko, the "AK47" with top-notch defensive ability.

The starting power forward is Carlos Boozer, who is inside and outside.

The starting center was Memet Oku, one of the league's few three-point rangers.

Both sides started and got ready, Yao Ming and Boozer jumped the ball.

Boozer used his long reach to jump to the ball for the Jazz.

DeLong possessed the ball and got past the front court to start the first round of the series between the two sides.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The atmosphere at the Rockets' home court was quite high, and the cheers of the fans were already deafening as soon as the game began.

In fact, far across the ocean, CCTV-5's ratings also reached an unprecedented peak when the game started. Peak.

DeLong was the top five or even the top three point guards in the league in '06, and he didn't show any panic in the face of the huge noise on the scene, and after beckoning others to open up the space, he took advantage of the situation and played a block with Boozer.

Sloan's pick-and-roll is based on UCLA's style of play, which is very simple and effective.

After this gear, Delon went in, Boozer went out, Delon glanced at the defense, and a return ball was given to Boozer in the high post.

Boozer faced Blake, who was complementing the defense, and shot directly from a high mid-range.

"Bang!"

The basketball played into the basket, and Boozer felt good when he came up.

The shouts of the fans at the scene were paused, and Boozer made a silent gesture to the audience at this time.

Everybody wasn't bullish on the Jazz, and so was the reporter before the game, and now from the first ball, he's going to prove everything wrong.
