Chapter 142: The last quarter overturned

But this matter will develop like this, also because Totoro has picked a good opponent himself, if he dares to do this to Kobe's Lakers, it is estimated that this matter is that David Stern loves Totoro no matter how much he does, he will not be able to escape a heavy penalty.

But if the target is changed to the Utah Jazz, it won't be much of a problem, the Jazz team has a small market, the number of supporters is not large, and the star effect is not good, plus they usually play tough [dirty], and there are not a few people who have injured their hands, except for Salt Lake City, the fans of teams in other places are very unhappy to see them, so this time they suffered a loss and there are not many people to help them speak, and the other 28 teams in the United States are waiting to see their jokes.

After the comeback against the Utah Jazz, the Rockets ushered in their second and final meeting with the Wizards on the last day of the month, and the final game of the regular season this year.

In this game, although the Rockets were absent because many of the big players were banned, the rest of the Rockets were still ready to win this game desperately, they had been inexplicably killed by the Wizards on the opponent's home court last time, and if they lost the revenge battle at home today, they would be equivalent to being killed by the Wizards this year.

After this game, unless the two teams can reach the finals, they will not see each other again this year, and the Rockets have no chance to take revenge this year, so even if they are not judged according to the relationship between victory and defeat, even if it is just for the face of a strong team, the Rockets cannot give this game to the Wizards in vain.

Yao Ming scored 12 points in the first quarter, and also swiped 4 assists to help David Lee score 10 points, and the two Rockets inside line burst the Wizards' rookie line as soon as they came up, earning the Rockets a 5-point lead.

In the second quarter, because of the drug trafficking and gun Arenas who had just gotten rid of the trouble of the lawsuit recently, he went berserk, and one person threw 4 three-pointers in a row with the Wizards to overtake, and now when it comes to the general and Agent Zero, the current competitive ability is not much stronger than Maddie, who is now fighting on the East Coast of the United States, but some players just see that a specific team will come hard, this phenomenon is very miraculous but by no means uncommon, just like the soft wheat explodes as soon as he sees the Spurs, Arenas always has a good performance every time he encounters the Rockets.

However, the weak interior line is always a disadvantage of the Wizards, and if a weak team like the Wizards wants to win a strong team in the league like the Rockets, in addition to their own explosives, the Rockets must also feel sluggish, and one of the two cannot be missing.

And it is very difficult to want the Rockets to be sluggish, Yao Ming's stability has always been there, according to the statistics of good deeds, Da Yao will only be abnormal once in every 25 games on average, the Wizards did not hit this kind of luck today, Yao Ming scored 21 points in the half, and continued to lead the Rockets to suppress the Wizards.

In the third quarter, the little giant has been precise, and Lowry and Brooks, who have not shown anything, also began to wake up in this quarter, coupled with the three punches and two kicks of David Lee and Gasol Jr., Battier stabbed him coldly, and the Wizards from afar were suddenly a little overwhelmed, and the big score fell behind by 16 points into the final quarter.

At this time, all the fans on the planet think that the Rockets are stable in this game, and even the Wizards' own fans who are guarding the TV are disappointed to change the channel, and the score of the game is not enough to make them lose confidence in the Wizards, but the Rockets are really desperate when they press the Wizards all over the court, and the Rockets and the Wizards are not teams at the same level at all, and the competitiveness of the two is too different. This is the embodiment of the spirit of the strong team brought to the team after the arrival of Totoro, the current Rockets will not be like before, the first three quarters are five or five with whomever to play, and finally the fourth quarter was taken away by a wave, they can now press on the ground to play any weak team they encounter, to ensure the winning rate of the weak team, is the most basic quality of a strong team.

However, those fans who turned off the TV quickly regretted it, because the Rockets had another most fatal drawback after Totoro was out for this game, and that was the habitual weakness of the fourth quarter.

The Wizards have repeatedly shot, on the other hand, the Rockets players seem to have lost their souls, how to attack and how not, either low-level mistakes or missed shots, the Wizards are playing more and more vigorously, and the Rockets are losing their way more and more, Adelman called three timeouts in a row in the fourth quarter and could not recover the decline of the Rockets, and they were actually erased by the Wizards with a quarter of time while leading by double-digit points, Then, in the last 2.5 seconds of the final game, General Arenas took a step forward from the halfcourt line and beat the Rockets with an ultra-long-range three-pointer more than 30 feet away from the basket, and the Wizards completed a 16-point comeback.

After Agent 0 threw the ball in, all the Wizards players rejoiced, hugging each other as if they had won a million-dollar jackpot, while the Rockets players and all the fans at the Toyota Center were a different story, and even Yao Ming, who had always had a super good temper, was pale.

This is the first game in which Totoro, Randolph and Artest are sidelined, and although the Rockets have a poor lineup, this is not a reason to be able to complete a 16-point comeback in the end, and if it is really a lineup issue, they will not be able to lead their opponents by so many points before the start of the fourth quarter.

"Hey, did Team Rocket lose?"

Ivy walks out of the room, dressed only in sexy pajamas, and she guesses what happened when she sees Totoro, who is also blue and has turned off the TV.

"Well, lost."

My Neighbor Totoro nodded noncommittally.

"Then you should be happy, right, when you are not there, the team loses and the fans outside will miss you even more, if the Rockets lose three in a row when you are suspended, won't your position in the Rockets become more unbreakable? Why be unhappy? ”

The blonde sister sat on Totoro's lap with some curiosity, she didn't believe in such a thing that even she could see at a glance, but Totoro couldn't see it.

My Neighbor Totoro glanced at the other party, of course he saw this simple truth, but he obviously thought about something deeper.

"Yes, you're right, but I want to play in the playoffs and have home court advantage more than my position on the team, and it doesn't hurt if the team loses one or two games during my ban, but if it's really a three-game losing streak that you're talking about, then I guess even if I return, it's going to be very difficult to save the team's morale."
