Chapter 60 [Unavoidable Fate, Ten Weapons of the NBA]

Since the start of the game, Maddie has not acted like a superstar at all, and his score has even dropped below 20 points. Experts believe that Maddie is transforming, and many fans also feel that Maddie should give way.

In fact, since Maddie was injured last season and Yao Ming played the most data of his career 22 plus 10, there are many Chinese fans who want Yao Ming to become the new core of the Rockets.

Public opinion in China is also obviously demeaning and detractors, and some public opinion is extreme and even ridiculous.

They overtly touted the strength of Yao Ming's core tactical system. "The Rockets played well in this game, especially Yao Ming, who showed his value as an international superstar on both offensive and defensive ends. "The Rockets lost," although the Rockets lost this game, but although they lost to You Rong, they had a good chance to win, Yao Ming's performance was still remarkable, mainly because the other role players played too poorly and did not give Yao Ming enough help. ”

For this kind of ball commentary, generally everyone just takes a look, because fans also know that when Yao Mai is healthy, there is already a public opinion voice echoing in everyone's ears, such as a certain guide of the court 5 station commentary game, I can't wait for Yao Ming to complete all the shots in the whole game.

The rocket really needs Yao Ming, and the one who gets the inside line wins the world. But they need Maddie even more, and they can't make it without a key gentleman when the game is deadlocked. Has anyone ever seen Yao Ming kill an opponent at the last moment?

But the Chinese media seems to be particularly embracing the saying that "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers". In the new season, they seized the opportunity to spray Maddie for a month, proposed various plans to trade Maddie in exchange for good players, and said that Maddie can currently lead in the All-Star voting because of Chinese fans.

No matter how public opinion is directed, the eyes of American fans on the other side of the ocean are still bright.

Chinese swipe tickets for Maddie All-Star?

This joke is too big, most people are already fans of Maddie when they don't know Yao Ming, and public opinion in China is terrible, but as long as you look at Maddie's last appearance at the Toyota Center, the audience applauded warmly, and everyone should understand why the All-Star Maddie has so many votes.

In the new week, the Rockets continued their winning streak and swept three more teams. The best performance is not Yao Ming or Hayes, it is Maddie who staged the return of the king!

The Rockets beat the Warriors 103-98 at home.

Alston was blasted to smig by the strong-bearded Byron Davis, who had a triple-double with 38 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists. Thanks to Maddy's 32 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and 11 points in the fourth quarter, he won the Warriors with difficulty.

After that, the Rockets played back-to-back games, slaughtering the Timberwolves 100-82 on the road.

Maddy had 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the third quarter.

In the third game, they beat Bobcats 103-88 away.

Maddy had 31 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

As long as the Rockets Big Three play 30 minutes per game, they can contribute more than 60 points in a row and easily solve the opponent.

Maddie won the Player of the Week title, averaging 30 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2 steals per game, shooting 47% from the field.

Next, in the away game against the Wizards, the Rockets were challenged.

The Wizards trio of Gilberto Arenas, Caron Butler, and Antoine Jamison are not fuel-efficient lamps. The trio's fierce attacks helped the team take the lead for a while.

It wasn't until the second half of the third quarter that the Rockets overtook the score, and the hero was Hayes.

This hero Hayes is not the "Lord" of the Rockets, but Jarvis Hayes, a substitute who returned from injury and entered the Wizards' rotation.

After replacing Caron Butler in the third quarter, Jarvis Hayes took the initiative to take on the Wizards' offensive responsibilities and shot inside and outside......

He first broke through and then "**" Battier, who was sentenced to hit someone with the ball.

He then drove to a layup to give a hat in an attempt to create a technical foul on Mutombo's finger wagging. It's a pity that the referee on duty also likes to watch "Uncle Mu" shake his fingers and didn't blow the penalty.

In the end, he went very insidiously and forcefully to bring the ball to Alston's hand, hoping that Alston would have a serious finger injury like Howard's, but it was just a matter of narrowly. But that's what Jarvis Hayes thinks.

In the first minute and a half of the game, Jarvis Hayes had three turnovers. The Rockets took advantage of the situation to play a 7-0 offensive small ** and overtook by 5 points.

Wizards head coach Eddie Yodang called a timeout, looked at Jarvis Hayes, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

His mouth was crooked, and his voice was hoarse and low, like a blood-sucking zombie that had just crawled out of a coffin.

Jarvis Hayes was stunned for a moment when he saw that the head coach was not good, and replied: "Jarvis ......"

"I thought your name was Chuck! See what you did in the last game? What about undercover agent, what are you? Eddie Yodan growled with a twisted expression.

At the post-match press conference, Eddie Yodang was even more openly scratched. "I wondered, Hayes, who also lives in the United States, why is the gap so big?" (The Chinese subtitles of the press conference are provided by Mr. Fan Wei)

99-93, the Rockets eventually won the game, but they couldn't laugh after the game. Because there was a tragedy at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Maddie went out injured.

In order to ensure Yao Ming's physical strength, Jeff Van Gundy replaced the veteran Mutombo.

It was this substitution, Maddie, who had just found his form and scored 21 points in this game, was unlucky. He grabbed the ball with Mutombo and was hit by Mutombo's iron elbow above the eyebrow bone of his left eyebrow, crashing to the ground and being taken to the hospital immediately.

Maddie was injured and the person who was most touched was Chuck Hayes. He knows the future, and he knows how Maddy, who is talented and once hailed as Jordan's successor, has been ruined by injuries.

Is this Maddie's fate?

The 05-06 season was a period of high injury for Maddy, and in November 2005, Maddy suffered back cramps and back muscle sprains, which was also the beginning of the Rockets' fall into the deep valley that year. By 2006, Maddie had not shaken off the previous year's bad luck. The troubles of the back are always the lingering shadow of the former scoring champion. In January and March 2006, Maddy suffered two recurrences of old injuries, especially the latter injury that caused Maddy to miss all of the Rockets' remaining regular season games. In the 05-06 season, Maddy's appearances dropped to a career-low 47, and the Rockets finished bottom of the Southwest with a 34-48 record and missed the playoffs.

After Maddie's comeback this season, the sharp breakthrough is gone, the powerful slam dunk is gone, and the dazzling difficult layup performance is gone.

The injury not only had a technical impact on Maddie, but also caused him a serious psychological shadow. Now Maddie has just regained her self-confidence and is injured again.

Hayes can't help but think of the movie "Death is Coming" series, where the protagonist sees the future and helps some people temporarily avoid the disaster that should have happened. But later it turned out that those people still had to die, and people could not deceive the god of death.

He thinks poor Maddie is a bit like a real-life version of "Death Again".

He worries that this is just the beginning, and will Yao Ming and Maddie continue to develop as he knows history, and that the back-to-back injuries will eventually threaten their careers? If it is really injured and there are two high-paid cheerleaders, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the Rockets to win the championship.

Hopefully not. Hayes felt a little useless. People cross all the left and right, the beauty is like a cloud, all wishes come true, and the world is invincible. He can only play basketball steadily and work hard to improve himself, which seems to be too back.

He knows the future, but he can't stop it from happening. Because he is only a player, he can't control the Rockets' uniform group, and he has no right to decide.

It's like those two damn team doctors, still doing a good job. Jeff Van Gundy suggested a change of team doctor, and the boss Alexander directly dismissed Van Gundy as a nerve and gave him a sentence of "I don't think I heard it, you should forget it." ”

Van Gundy couldn't speak, let alone Hayes?

No matter what the future holds, now Maddie has fallen under the indiscriminate attack of Mutombo's iron elbow, the "NBA's ten weapons".

The result of the examination was a concussion, and what was even more unfortunate was that Maddie's movements were a little "tortuous" when she fell, dangling to her old waist and needing to rest for two weeks......

Mutombo is old and strong, and he is very efficient at rebounding, but he is definitely a big "butcher" in the NBA. Countless people have fallen under his iron elbow, including Yao Ming in 2003.

Take a look at his track record. The list of killings in Mutombo's 17-year career is as follows:

On April 20, 2004, he hit Kenyon Martin in the eye and received a technical foul; On December 29 of the same year, an elbow broke the bridge of LeBron James's nose, and the latter became a "masked man".

On March 31, 2003, he hit Yao Ming's throat (the uncle was in the tennis team at the time) and received a malicious foul.

On February 4, 2002, he hit the small belly of Chinese Scarter.

On March 16, 2001, he injured Vince Carter in the head, and Carter missed Game 6 of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

May 16, 2001, broke the bridge of Chris Charles' nose. In the same year, he also broke the bridge of Ray Allen's nose and injured Corey Margety, causing eye trauma.

On 28 December 2000, he was struck in the mouth by Chauncey Billups, causing his front teeth to loosen and require four stitches.

On May 9, 1999, Chris Leitner was beaten to the point that his face was bleeding, and Lindsey Hunter turned into a panda eye.

On May 4, 1999, he broke the bridge of Mark Strickland's nose.

On April 9, 1999, he was hit in the throat by Marcus Camby. That same year, he also wounded Larry Johnson in the cheek and hit Patrick Ewing in the head.

On May 7, 1997, he was ejected for a second-degree malicious foul on Dennis Rodman. In the same year, he also wounded Charles Oakley in the lip, who received four stitches; On April 11, Anthony Carr was beaten unconscious; On April 12, he broke the bridge of Tom Gugliotta's nose.

On October 22, 1996, despite only a preseason warm-up game, Deacon Bay still swung an iron elbow and injured Michael Jordan's nose, causing the latter to bleed profusely from the face.

On April 10, 1994, Robert Horry was wounded in the head.

On December 30, 1993, he wounded Chris Webb and got into a brawl with Chris Gatlin.

On December 28, 1991, Robert Parrish was knocked to the ground.

On 29 November 1991, he wounded Rick Pearce in the forehead, causing him to receive 12 stitches.

These are Mutombo's bloody "crimes" since he entered the league in 1991, and this does not include his actions of accidentally injuring his own teammates. Thankfully, Mutombo studied linguistics rather than medicine at Georgetown University, otherwise he would have understood how to hurt people.

With an 18-2 record, without Maddie, this record is more like a false boom.

The Rockets are suffering from injury problems again.

Howard's all-important middle finger is just right, Maddie is injured again, and with Kirk Schneider with a broken wrist, the Rockets have two fewer people at the shooting guard position.

In order to make up for the gap during Maddy's break, the Rockets are ready to bring back Casey Jacobson, who was cut in the preseason, or try out other free agents, and make up for the lack of personnel with a short contract.

――――――――――――― Split ――――――――――――――

Hehe, Maddie is a little unlucky to write, but he will be back soon, so I will say sorry to the McFans.

In reality, Maddie is indeed unlucky, and there will be times when Maddie will be powerful in this book, I swear.
