Chapter 232: The Playoffs Are About to Start (Part II)
The Rockets completely liquidated the Mavericks who used three-point shots to shoot their own bags on their home court, and also let the opponent know what it was like to have a slow head and a bag.
What do you say, after the game, someone asked Wang Lei, the shooter of the new generation of rockets? Aaron's this question, Ray? Allen smacked his lips and said: The Mavericks are still playing very well, and the taste of losing is very bad, but the taste of winning is really good.
After the game, looking at the somewhat decadent Maverick players, old Nelson was on the bus, loudly reprimanding his players, old Nelson roared: "The Rockets are a very strong team, although you lose in such a game, but you can gain a lot of experience, so that you will make fewer mistakes like this in the future, but you look at your appearance, one by one like castrated roosters, are you still men?" ”
With the roar of old Nelson, the mood of the Mavericks players is actually a little better, and I have to say that I am cheap.
Then, in Game 4 of the season, the Rockets welcomed the Jazz on their home court.
Looking at the already somewhat aged Jazz twins, Olajuwon stepped forward and Ma Long, and Stockton both hugged each other.
However, at this time, Malone still didn't realize that he might say goodbye to the championship completely, and provoked in Olajuwon's ear: "Hakim, no matter how good your record is this year, the final victory must be Jazz's." ”
At this time, Olajuwon was already strong enough for him, and looked at Malone and said in a low voice: "Carl, sometimes, I sympathize with you, do you know why?" Because you're really pathetic, you've been fighting for a championship ring for so many years, and I've got three rings now, and I'm going to get the fourth one this year, and you're going to get nothing. ”
Karl?, Aaron looked at the best center of the decade, and looked at the indifference in Olajuwon's eyes, Ma Long's heart was gloomy for a while.
yes, I haven't been able to get a ring so far.
Stockton, who was next to him, saw that things were not good, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Carl, don't be fooled, that bastard of Hakim is attacking your confidence." ”
Stockton knows his old partner for more than 10 years, and you say that he has a good mental quality, but he is likely to lose his cool because of some small things.
It seems that not only himself, but also his opponent is now aware of his partner's situation.
Malone was taken aback, looked at Stockton and said sincerely, "Thank you, John, or I really got the way of that old bastard of Hakim." ”
Stockton smiled, patted Mallon's buttocks, and whispered, "Man, get ready for the game, the Rockets aren't for Khan." ”
Ma Long also nodded solemnly, not saying anything, and was ready to start the game immediately.
Olajuwon's lips and swords on Ma Long's body did not achieve any effect, which disappointed Olajuwon a lot, but now the experience of both sides has been fully invested in the game, and those things just now are just small means.
Today, in order to strengthen the defense of the backcourt, the Jazz let Shanton? Anderson came in place of Hornacek as a starter, and there were no changes to other positions.
After the game started, Malone was like a chicken blood, holding the ball and stabbing under the basket of the rocket, Garnett really didn't stop Malone under the basket for a while, watching Malone shoot with two pythons turning over, and scoring points for Jazz in a row.
Seeing this situation, Lao Tang got up on the sidelines and yelled: "Kevin, what are you thinking, do you want an old man to blow you up, can you still play, if you can't play, you will come down, there will be many replacements for you." ”
Garnett was thrilled when he heard this, and immediately refreshed, if he let the coach change like this, it would be a shame.
Looking at Malone who pounced again, Garnett yelled loudly: "Come on, Carl, I won't lose to you, you can't scare me." ”
Malone looked at Garnett, whose momentum had changed greatly, and his expression gradually became solemn, he knew that if a player started to work hard, then his combat effectiveness would definitely not be worse.
People who are all mixed in the 400+ club, that will be very bad.
Malone's offense was suppressed by Garnett's desperate play, and more than 40% of the Jazz's offensive firepower was blocked when Malone was stuck, looking at Malone, who was a little uncomfortable, Ostertag was ready to step forward to help, but the bus was in the middle of the stride, and whispered to Ostertag: "Your opponent is me, man, don't you want to run away." ”
Ostertag looked at his opponent, and he was also a big head, this kid has excellent strength, solid skills under the basket, and mid-range shooting, he is completely his own nemesis, how can I deal with him.
Just when he hesitated, because there was no one to answer by Ma Long's side, the basketball in Ma Long's hand was slapped down by Horry.
grabbed the basketball with two steps, and a long pass was sent directly to the front court. Allen's hand, looking at his former teammate Shandon? Anderson, Ray? Allen didn't hesitate and rushed forward with the ball. Then, with a return to the trend, a very standard stop-and-go jump shot, with a "swish", accurately drilled into the basket.
Shanton? Anderson could only watch as his former teammates put the basketball into the basket in a way he hadn't seen before.
Looking at Thunder who is going backwards and away? Aaron, Shandon? Anderson was in a trance for a while, and once again remembered his years in the Rockets, thinking of this, Anderson shook his head violently, and sighed secretly in his heart: That team has left me.
The players on both sides were very involved in fighting, and the time of the first quarter of the game passed quickly.
In between two quarters of battle, both teams took the time to rest and prepare for the second quarter.
The second quarter was like a remake of the first quarter of the game, and the two sides were in such a stalemate, maintaining a slight gap in the scores between the two sides.
The second quarter of the game also ended in such a tense atmosphere, and the two sides who fought for half the court, like hungry wolves, fought on the court for two whole quarters.
At halftime, in addition to seizing the time to recover their strength, the two sides explained the game tactics and matters to be paid attention to in the second half.
Time is actually very fast, so fast that in the blink of an eye, time has slipped away, and you can't catch it.
The second half of the game between the Rockets and Jazz began, and the third quarter was no different from the first two quarters, with both sides committed to defense.
Needless to say, sports games are like serials, ups and downs, exciting, just when everyone thought that the game between the two sides would be won or lost in the fourth quarter.
Such an anxious game is the most prone to conflict, in the third quarter of the game with 4 minutes left, Malone made a big elbow when he made a layup, and knocked out Horry who was defending him on the spot, and this time the conflict broke out on the court, looking at Horry who fainted to the ground, Ben was suddenly angry on the court, and he stepped forward and raised his fist to beat Ma Long, but is Ma Long so easy to deal with? As an old fritter of the Alliance, he has experienced a lot of such things.
The principle of striking first and then curing others is understood not only by Chinese, but also by foreigners.
Ma Long lowered his head and hit Big Ben to the ground with a collision, and then slammed into Big Ben's body and rode up.
But after thinking about it, he forgot one very important thing, that is, the rocket has the most powerful fighting king in the league, and that is the bus.
Just when Ma Long shook his fist and beat Daben with a headache, a yellow arm suddenly appeared in front of Ma Long, grabbed Ma Long's neck suddenly, hung up his whole person, and directly threw Ma Long on the edge of the production area with two big strides.
This fall was quite strong, and Malone couldn't get up at that time, rolling his eyes on the ground.
Looking at all the Jazz players was stunned for a while, Ostertag still wanted to step forward to be a good man, and reached out to push the bus, but saw that the bus did not move, and there was a slight mistake under his feet, and he dodged Ostertag's hands, and then one foot was directly inserted into the middle of Ostertag's legs, his arm swung, striding and twisting, his thighs and arms competed, and with a "whoosh", Ostertag was thrown out 4 meters away, lying on the ground and rolling his eyes like Ma Long.
At this moment, Old Sloan was stupid at the time, in less than ten seconds, the two main forces of his inner line were spent, and people didn't have anything to do, is this TMD a person? It's a monster in human skin.
At this time, Shandon? Anderson saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Bus, man, calm down, this is the basketball court." ”
stepped forward and grabbed the bus that was about to run to the other Jazz players, and at this time the other players of the Rockets reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the bus.
At this time, the referee reacted, and hurriedly separated the players on both sides, and the bus looked at the referee who was hugging him and said: "Mr. Referee, my teammates are still lying on the field, do you want the team doctor to hurry up." ”
Looking at the bus with a calm look, but his eyes were already wide, the referee was also quite weak-hearted, and hurriedly signaled the team doctors of both sides to come on the field and take a look at the situation of the players on both sides.
There is nothing wrong with Malone and Ostertag, it is estimated that it will be fine after a day of rest, Horry was knocked unconscious by an elbow, and it is not a big problem, it will be fine to rest for three days, until Big Ben was hit in the ribs by Malone, with some slight bone cracks, and he will be absent for at least 15 days.
This made the Rockets head coach Lao Tang, who was about to start preparing for the playoffs, scold Malone for being a bastard at the end of the game, which is going to ruin the Rockets' playoffs.
However, this is all an afterthought, the situation on the field at that time, the bus was sent off, Big Ben and Horry were carried off the field, and Malone and Ostertag were also carried out of the field.
Losing the two pillars of the interior, in the next game, the Rockets players vented on the Jazz's basket with a breath of fire, and in this way, at the end of the game, the Rockets bloodied the Jazz at home 118:90.
After the game, Sr. Sloan condemned the barbaric behavior of the bus, believing that such a player should not appear on the basketball court.
However, after Lao Tang spoke, Lao Sloan just said a word lightly, so that Lao Sloan didn't say a word, and heard Lao Tang say: My player is still in a coma in the hospital, I'm going to see it now.
After saying that, he left the scene of the press conference without saying anything, and the noisy old Sloan stayed at the scene of the press conference with a red face, embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Afterwards, the league sent a ban notice, banned for three games, Lao Tang pouted, there is no use for fart, anyway, it can catch up with the playoffs.
However, the bus once again demonstrated his tenacious combat effectiveness, and this combat effectiveness made all the evil guys of the alliance once again raise the combat ability of the bus.
Although he was suspended for three games, the remaining three teams could not pose any threat to the Rockets at all.
On May 3, the Rockets won 110-84 over the Clippers on their home court.
On May 5, the Rockets continued their 100-84 win over the Timberwolves on their home court.
On May 6, the Rockets won back-to-back 101-88 games on the road against the Denver Nuggets.
The Rockets ended the season's 50-game regular season with a final wave of eight straight wins.
The playoffs are just here.
