Chapter 66: 2 to 0 (2nd Update)

"Your decision would lead to conflict, do you want that?" Tang Tian walked to the sidelines and shouted at the referee.

The referee glanced back at him, but didn't say anything.

Just then, Boozer broke through and landed an elbow on Maddie's head.

Maddie wasn't a nice gentleman like Battier, so she shoved Boozer with a shake of her hand.

Boozer was pushed to the ground, and the players on both sides rushed together in an instant.

A conflict is about to unfold.

Fortunately, the referee reacted quickly and rushed to the crowd as soon as possible to pull the players of the two teams apart.

"Is that what you want? Is that what you want? Tang Tian was a little emotional, if Maddie was injured in the first round, all his previous preparations would be in vain.

"I know, calm down, calm down." The referee's expression was obviously different at this time, and he just signaled Tang Tian to calm down.

After the players on both sides were pulled away, the referee returned to the technical table to watch the replay.

After the replay was watched, the referee gave the final decision.

Boozer received a second-degree foul and was ejected from the game.

When the penalty came out, the Jazz side instantly exploded, and Sloan kept yelling at the referee.

At this time, Tang Tian stretched out his hand to applaud amid the cheers of the fans at the scene.

This foul by Boozer should be between a first-degree malicious foul and a second-degree malicious foul.

Clearly, his pressure worked.

However, this is also a warning to avoid such dangerous moves in the next game.

Sloan was eventually pushed back to half-time by the referee, and the decision did not change.

Boozer was booed by more than 10,000 fans when he left the stadium wrapped in a towel, and it was destined to be an "unforgettable" night for him, from his pre-match speech to his ejection.

The Rockets made one of two free throws.

After Yao Ming hit two free throws steadily, the Rockets still had the ball.

After the game continued, it was obvious that the Jazz players were much cleaner on the defensive end, which was the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

Without those small moves, the Rockets were noticeably much more fluid on the offensive end.

By the time Battier had healed his wounds and returned to the field, the game was essentially over at half-time.

"It was an incredible game, the Rockets showed that championship quality that they had in the first half of the season, and the Jazz couldn't handle it." Brin spoke at half-time summary.

"Yes, Boozer's expulsion just gave them an excuse to lose." Jackson nodded in agreement.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Jazz 118-87 in the first game of the series to win the first game of the series.

Yao Ming only played three quarters of the game, and had a performance of 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and Maddie hit four three-pointers to score 24 points.

The standout performer was Millsap, who played the full four quarters and scored a team-high 29 points.

The second-round pick told the league in an incredibly stunning way that the Rockets were absolutely right to pick him.

A big win, the Rockets announced a strong comeback, and the media began to treat him as the subject of discussion again.

T.N.T, who was optimistic about the Rockets before the game, made a large report on the Rockets' excellent performance.

"With Yao Ming and T-mac, two top-five superstars in the league, a bunch of three-point shooters who can make people's scalps explode, and of course, most importantly, a young but intimidating head coach, will the championship be far away?"

In a wave of T.N.T, the Rockets continued to win the second game of the series 110-90 to take a 2-0 lead.

As Mike Brin said in the commentary, Boozer's presence or absence can no longer change the difference in strength between the two teams.

Rockets fans are thrilled like never before.

The struggles in the second half of the season, despite knowing that it was a rotational break, they were still extremely worried about the team, and now judging from the results, this worry is completely unnecessary.

At the same time as the Rockets game, the Warriors also tied 1-1 with the Mavericks in a big score, which surprised everyone and made many fans who bought bets vomit old blood.

But the result was a delightful for the Houstonians.

If the Warriors magically eliminate the Mavericks in the end, then the Rockets will have one less strong opponent, which is lying down and entering the West, even if it is not really like this in the end, it is absolutely beneficial to the Rockets to consume most of the Mavericks' physical strength.

The word championship is starting to pop up on the lips of fans.

On this day of training, Tang Tian and Xibodeo had just finished discussing the plan for the next game, and when they walked to the training hall, they heard some shouts from inside from time to time.

"Overall Champion! We are the overall champions! ”

"Hey, that's my championship trophy, pass it to me!"

……

There was a burst of giggling laughter from inside the training hall.

From the words, you can feel that the mentality of the players is quite relaxed.

Tang Tian walked into the training hall and saw that only Yao Ming, Battier and Howard were training on the field, and most of the players were sitting on the sidelines chatting.

Alston and Wells are holding basketballs there to grab the "championship trophy".

No one even noticed that Tang Tian and Thibodeau were coming in.

It seems that this feeling is more than easy.

Xibodu turned his head to look at Tang Tian and found that the latter's face was not very good-looking.

"Ahem!" He coughed dryly twice.

Only then did the players notice that the coach was coming.

"Call them up." Tang Tian said to Thibodeau, and then walked straight to the venue.

Thibodeau stretched out his hand to greet him, and the team members gathered back one after another, and finally formed a circle around Tang Tian.

Most of the players had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Tang Tian looked around and found that Maddie and Millsap had not come.

"What about T-mac and Paul?" Tang Tian asked.

"They said they would be a little late." Novak spoke, apparently just a messenger.

Tang Tian didn't ask again, nor did he speak again, but remained silent.

Only then did the team members gradually notice that Tang Tian's face was not good-looking, and they all put away their smiles one by one.

"After winning two games, you think you can win the championship?" Tang Tian said coldly.

The team members were all silent, they rarely saw Tang Tian's expression.

"If that's the case, is it possible for every team to win the championship? Or is the league going to create more trophies so that every team can give one to each team? ”

Alstom was amused by Tang Tian's words, but after feeling Tang Tian's cold gaze, he immediately lowered his head.

"Do you know how many teams have been beaten 3-0 in NBA history?"

The team members looked at each other suspiciously, apparently they didn't know the answer.

"Nope." Tang Tian quickly gave an answer.

This time, several Rockets laughed.

"Funny, huh? But do you know how many teams have been reversed 2-0? ”

"12." This time, Tang Tian asked and answered himself.

"So, do you want to be the 13th?"
