Chapter 041: Outbreak and Collapse

Van Gundy provided the Rockets with two offensive modes, Yao Ming attacking as a pivot in the low post and Maddie curling and cutting away from the high post.

The former made Yao Ming from a dexterous center in 2002 to an overlord-level interior weapon in the NBA, but he also fell into the low post and became one of the players with the most ball-handling errors in the NBA; And the latter is difficult to play perfectly in the cover conditions of the low mass of the rocket.

Hopefully, Adelman's Princeton offensive system will improve on Van Gundy's legacy, and it's no secret that what he does best is causing surprises, at least in the regular season.

The season's impressive record so far has led many to believe that Adelman is likely to make his history of making wedding clothes for others year after year, and even though everyone knows that the two superstars he has in his hands are one of the hardest puzzle materials in history, people still want to believe in Adelman's magical puzzle ability.

As for the news of the contradictions within the rocket from an anonymous source, many naΓ―ve fans think that this is just a rumor made up at random by some conspirators who are interested in the luxury lineup of the rocket, and the rocket is still very harmonious inside, and the thriving wind seems to warm the entire ocean with the warm current of the Pacific Ocean.

Maddie told herself that in the fourth quarter I had to take over the game, that I had to play with the belief that I was going to win, and even though I had played a full three quarters of iron, I was still able to confidently tell myself that when I needed it, the feeling would come back.

Yes, No. 1 is back, and the all-powerful Rocket No. 1 in memory suddenly returned in the fourth quarter. Dry pulls, and back-to-back dry pulls, have made 4-of-4 shooting so far, including two three-pointers. With an indomitable determination, Maddy pulled the Rockets, who were almost double-digit behind, off the edge of the cliff.

Maddie in this quarter is very strong, so strong that the gods are in the competition with No. 1 because they are the first to hit the iron and fall behind, so far in the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant has shot 3 of 4, and in the duel between the two, the big god's shot hit the basket first.

Bang! The scores were tied again, and the Rockets had the ball.

Maddie's outburst thrilled Houston fans who had been dormant for a long time, and to this day, people can vividly remember the excitement that Rocket 1 brought them that night.

On December 9, 2004, the Rockets played the Spurs at home, and Maddy scored 13 points in 35 seconds in the final moments of the game. A three-pointer at 35 seconds, a three-pointer and a free throw at 24.3 seconds, a three-pointer at 11.2 seconds, and a three-pointer at the final 1.9 seconds gave the Rockets a miraculous 81-80 win over the Spurs.

But few people know that the real situation of that game was far from being as simple as people portrayed it. Viewers who really watched that game in its entirety should clearly remember that when the Spurs were still leading by more than a dozen points in the last minute or so, it was Maddie who gave up the game first, and this guy was walking on the court at that time, and it was Yao Ming and Padget's unyielding that finally fulfilled Maddie's 35.13 minutes.

If you think about it seriously, Maddie's last shot is obviously unreasonable, and if it is really for the sake of the team as a whole, he should choose a two-point shot with a higher shooting percentage instead of a gambling, personal showmanship three-pointer.

But unfortunately, this world is so realistic, and it is an eternal truth that success and defeat are immutable. Maddie's last three-point shot went in, so even God was touched by him, and in n years, it would be that simple.

When people mention No. 1, they will also refer to it as the most shining moment in his body. As for the rest, give it up, history is better to keep it simple, and things that are too complicated are not welcomed.

Stop the memories that are so old that they are already a little moldy and refocus on today's game. Brooks firmly controls the ball, although the little black bean is thin, but the speed and dribbling are not bad, it is not easy for Fisher to prevent his shooting, as for the breakthrough, with Brooks's weak body, I believe that the Lakers' interior strongman will give this little guy a memorable lesson.

Sure enough, although the performance of No. 1 has driven the enthusiasm of other Rockets to a certain extent, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too positive, and this is the case with Little Black Bean.

After easily passing the old fish, Brooks, who broke into the inside, suddenly lost his direction, and he didn't even have the courage to throw the ball out of sight with a long arm, and the poor shooting opportunity made him choose to return the ball to the outside.

Little Black Bean paid the price for his indecisiveness, Lao Yu's experience helped him successfully cut off the opponent's too obvious intention, Lao Yu was not in a hurry after winning the ball, anyway, the ball was in hand, I had the advantage, just play steadily and steadily, what the Lakers asked for was the success rate.

After Kobe Bryant and Li Chen's backhand, the Lakers' offense was finally ended by Gasol's brushing layup. It seems that there is a so-called natural enemy relationship, whether it is in the international arena or in the NBA arena, Da Yao has never been able to get rid of the embarrassment of falling behind when facing Gasol.

"Okay, just fight like this, we are determined to fight!" The old monk encouraged the player's confidence in a timely manner, and in his opinion, the Lakers still have a big chance of winning, and the tradition of hanging the chain at the critical moment of the Rockets is still fresh in the memory of the Zen master.

The Lakers are different, the temperament of the giants makes them play more decisive when it is critical. If there is too much difference in strength or too obvious an advantage, the Purple and Gold will not be interested in serious competition.

Yao Ming is no longer the dexterous center of the past, and under Van Gundy's coaching, he quickly grew into a 310-pound basketball giant, and his overlord-level body allowed him to dominate the basket while doubling the physical strength he had to expend per game.

After such a long game, Yao Ming was tired, his pace slowed, his reaction was slow, and his mistakes increased. The poor form of the interior core directly led to a huge loss of morale for the Rockets, and they could only pin all their hopes on the core No. 1 who led them to a 22-game winning streak.

At critical moments, Maddy showed his leadership temperament, even though people repeatedly criticized him for his weakness in character and his emptiness on the defensive end, but the person who stood up for the Rockets at critical times was always Maddy who was at the point of contention, and after a breakthrough into the interior line 2+1, the Rockets temporarily stabilized the situation.

"Hmph, no matter how stubborn you resist, I will win this game!" No. 1's sudden outburst in the fourth quarter stimulated the competitiveness of the great god, and in the face of Artest's strong winning defense, Kobe Bryant played unequivocally.

Speed up, stand on tiptoe, you don't even jump, okay, then I jumped, the beast that the god of all his strength hit has no temper at all.

The pressure is on the Rockets again, the god's shooting has stretched the difference to 4 points, if the gap cannot be pulled back, the Rockets will be difficult, whether they want to or not, Adelman can only hope that Maddy can show his superstar demeanor at this time.

Although he is already a slightly outdated superstar, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and only Maddie can carry this burden at this time.

"Is it my turn?" Maddie felt the pressure from the crowd, but it only made him stronger.

"Since you don't have a choice, let's shoot!" Number 1 gives the answer. Dry pull! The sudden three-point made the Rockets nervous and hesitant, drenched in a spring rain.

Maddy was still squinting after the goal, but Bryant knew that it was just a disguise for his opponent, and that hidden beneath that camouflage was a rusted but still sharp fang.

Kobe Bryant held the ball, this time he did not choose to attack suddenly, and the great god seemed to be quietly waiting for the opportunity, like a bow and arrow ready to be inserted into the opponent's chest.

Artest didn't know what Kobe Bryant's idea was, but since the other party didn't make the next move, he could only stand quietly like this.

Maddy, who was defending Li Chen, was also very curious, and turned her head from time to time to pay attention to Kobe's movements, and the calmness of the great god made him feel very strange.

"Oh, it's still the same!" Kobe noticed Maddie's abnormality, and the basketball came to Li Chen's hands.

"Suffer!" Rocket No. 1 watched the basketball float past him, and the ensuing sound of the goal made him feel like he was in hell, and this mistake at a critical time could have left the Rocket with no place to die.

"Bastard!" Adelman couldn't help but curse in his heart, success and defeat, Maddie single-handedly pulled the rocket back from the edge of the cliff, but then he kicked the rocket into hell with another kick.

A mistake at this critical time can have a fatal impact on the Rockets, and if Maddie can't score the next goal, then the Rockets' morale will collapse instantly.

"Well done, rookie, this three-point is very important, and the shot is beautiful!" The younger brother did not drop the chain at a critical time, and he made a decisive shot, and Kobe Bryant was very satisfied with this.

"Hehe, guard against this ball, we're going to win, it's up to you, Bryant!" As long as Kobe Bryant puts down this ball, then the Lakers can basically be said to have a chance to win.

Maddie's iron striking became the last straw that crushed the rocket, and the legend of a thousand miles began again. Collapse, what Li Chen had watched countless times in front of the TV today, finally happened in front of his eyes today.

It's just that just once, as an insider, Li Chen no longer has to beat his chest for the collapse of the Rocket, as a member of the Lakers, the collapse of the Rocket will only make him feel relieved, and another tough opponent was trampled under the feet of the Purple and Gold Army.

"Hey, Cruz, congratulations! You're playing great! After the game, Yao Ming, the star of the Rockets, took the initiative to find Li Chen, and the bloodline of the other party made Da Yao feel that it was necessary to strengthen the connection, in case someone from China wanted to contact Li Chen in the future, it would be considered a way.

Li Chen wouldn't have thought of it so much, in the face of the idol in his previous life, he just felt very happy, and after exchanging phone calls with Da Yao, Li Chen also had one more friend in the circle. Although the complex background behind the other party made him a little uncomfortable, but in terms of personality alone, Da Yao's character still has nothing to say.

Li Chen thought that if he was in the other party's position, he would definitely not be able to do more than Da Yao. Although there are many people who don't look down on Da Yao's contribution, in Li Chen's opinion, the other party has done enough, if it weren't for playing too many international matches, Yao Ming's career would definitely not end so early, and his achievements may be even higher.

"Hello! I'm a reporter from Celestial Empire 5, and I would like to ask you, how do you feel about this game? ”

It was a very formal question, and Li Chen was also very comfortable to answer. "It is worthy of being a reporter from Tianchaotai, and his professionalism is high, unlike those who are small places and small columns, who ask questions casually if they don't know anything." Li Chen secretly thought in his heart that the strange questions raised by some media a few days ago made him feel very helpless.

"The Rockets played well in this game, which caused us a lot of trouble, and for a period of time we also fell into the problem of not being able to open the offense, but fortunately, the coach changed the tactics in time to allow us to stabilize the situation, and finally with Kobe's excellent performance, we won, that's it, everyone's joint efforts are the key to our victory!"

"So, we know you had 17 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in this game, can you tell me how you did all that?" Li Chen continued to perform well, and people wanted to know if he had any secrets.

Hehe, Li Chen smiled faintly, "I don't know what the secret is, I only thought that I wanted to score, I wanted to assist my teammates, I wanted to grab that rebound, I wanted to help the team win, and then, I did it." If I had to have a secret, it would be inseparable from my usual efforts and the full support of my teammates, and the coach has also helped me a lot, thanks to them! ”

"So, what do you think of your teammate Sun Yue? He's not doing well this season, can you give him some advice based on your success? Because of the time constraints, the reporter quickly threw out this most critical question.

When it comes to his teammates, Li Chen is still very face-saving, although it is a bit against his conscience, he still pretends to be appreciative, "Sun Yue is a very talented player and trains hard, if he can reduce his mistakes, I believe he will become better!" ”

Both the questioner and the questionee were delighted by the happy answer, and the latter got the answer they wanted, and this time they were back to make a big splash, and the Lakers' rising star thought Sun Yue was very talented, which was something worth writing about.

Li Chen also got what he wanted through this interview, the best way to break into the Celestial Empire market is to show more face on official TV and properly curry favor with the people there, which is very helpful to his plan to make money, and the agent Schwertz and Li Chen himself believe that the vast Asian market is the most important place.

In comparison, there are too many competitors in the American market, but Asia is different, Li Chen's bloodline and appearance make Asian fans identify with him, which is incomparable to other players in the NBA.
