Chapter 398: Team Rocket's Last Chance
This game between the Hornets and the Rockets won the attention of the whole league
In the third game, although the Hornets were a little blinded by the Rockets' high shooting percentage at the beginning, and the Rockets also seized this opportunity to open up the score with the Hornets, and the difference between the two teams once widened to more than ten points
So the third quarter of the game was very surprising - Zhong Yu scored 16 points alone at the beginning of the third quarter
He single-handedly withstood the Rockets' sustained offense with his insane shooting percentage
After that, the Hornets withstood the toughest stage and finally had a chance to launch a counterattack, and then they didn't leave the Rockets with much of a chance
This game left endless regrets for Rockets fans, and also gave many Hornets fans more reasons to be excited
After this game, the Rockets basically have little hope of winning this series
It's 3-0 and it's a team like the Hornets...... The Rockets still want to win the game, and there is basically no possibility left
Seeing that the Rockets' cups are about to be staged
The Rockets' home fans are now hopeless about a final victory
Just after the game, Zhong Yu was interviewed by local media in Houston next to the court
This is a female reporter, she raised the microphone directly in front of Zhong Yu and asked: You beat the Rockets again, and you alone scored 18 points in the third quarter...... You have contributed a lot to the team in this game, and you have played a key role, so do you think the Hornets will be able to beat the Rockets in the next game?
These topics are what reporters like to ask Zhong Yu, and they can always get some answers from Zhong Yu
Zhong Yu said: Of course, it's not up to me, but from my personal point of view, I hope to beat the Rockets and reach the Western Conference Finals...... But it depends on what God wants us to do, and we have to obey
When Jongwook is answering interviews, he likes to blame God for some things a lot of the time...... And this trick is also tried and tested
Many reporters will also think that Zhong Yu said God when he arrived in the United States, which is a good performance of following the local customs
There are very few teams in history who have come back from 3-0 down to win the game, do you think you can win the game steadily?
This one...... Zhong Yu felt that these reporters liked to ask themselves topics that made him speculate
He also has a way of answering: although there are very few teams in history who have been able to come back from 3-0 down...... But the Rockets are a very tenacious team, and they won't relax until the last minute, and they won't give up, and I think if we don't pay attention to it, then it's likely that the Rockets players will find a way to fight back, and in the end we will be ruined in our own hands that we don't pay much attention to......
If you really beat the Rockets 4-0, how would you face Yao, and the female reporter suddenly asked such a question
This issue is also of concern to some Americans
Zhong Yu and Yao Ming can be said to be one of the most well-known Chinese in the United States now, Yao Ming's influence in the United States is not small, and although Zhong Yu has not been in the alliance for too long, his influence is very huge
Now the teams of the two people who are in everyone's attention are facing off...... They are also more concerned about these follow-up issues
Zhong Yu thought for a while and said: Yao Ming and I are from the same country, or even the same province, we have known each other for many years, and we are also very good teammates in the national team, if Yao Ming plays well, then I will give him blessings and cheers, if I do a good job, he will also be proud of my achievements, so this series is like this, no matter who wins, the other party will give him the most sincere blessings...... That's it
Zhong Yu said this, and the reporter didn't ask any new questions, but let Zhong Yu go...,
When Zhong Yu said goodbye to Yao Ming, Yao Ming's face was full of wry smiles, Zhong Yu knew that he lost the game, and he didn't feel very comfortable, so he didn't say much
In this game, Yao Ming scored 32 points and 10 rebounds alone, and the score is still very high...... This is probably the highest scoring average in a playoff game of his career......
But it's a pity that the Rockets were still stabbed under the stinger of the Hornets and couldn't ascend to the sky
Jongwook is one of the main culprits responsible for the current situation of Team Rocket......
However, the arena is so cruel and ruthless, Zhong Yu doesn't have much to do, and he doesn't know how to comfort Yao Ming......
So he can only let him go back by himself and be alone for a while
As a Hornets player, Jongwook only wants to beat the Rockets as soon as possible to advance to the Western Conference Finals...... Then pull out the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals or slaughter the Lakers to reach the Finals
Game 4 between the Hornets and Rockets is about to begin
The aftermath of the third game has not completely dissipated, and now many fans are associating the fourth game with the third game.
Zhong Yu played so well in the third game, and it can even be said that for a while, the Hornets were supported by him alone, and in the fourth quarter of the game, I just don't know if he can continue to play like this, so that the Hornets can completely beat the Rockets into the abyss
The Hornets played better than one game at a time in three games...... However, the third game should be played well, and Zhong Yu used his score to buy the Hornets enough time and opportunity, and I don't know if he can continue to let the Hornets beat their opponents in this game
Game 4 is very critical for the Rockets, but if the Hornets can advance to the Western Conference Finals sooner, there will be more time to prepare, and this time they are likely to take revenge on the Lakers...... It's also good to have a little more time to prepare
…………
For Rockets fans, it's not the end of the world, but it's really worried
I'm worried about whether the Hornets will sweep the Rockets directly in the fourth game......
Although the Rockets are basically defeated, it is too shameful for them to sweep them directly
The last fig leaf has to be removed
So Rockets fans want them to win no matter what they say
The fourth game was still played at the Toyota Center, and there weren't as many fans coming in there today as there were in the game...... Some of these fans are also more realistic, and when they see that the team is not in good shape, they don't have to watch
Guys, victory is just around the corner, and as long as we can win this game, we'll be able to advance to the Western Conference Finals, or we can slaughter the Spurs again or get revenge on the Lakers, and we'll be able to get to the Finals, and Scott went to great lengths to tell everyone about the importance of this game before the game, and he wanted to get the Hornets up in the fight
Scott doesn't have much to explain right now, and all he can do is try to boost the morale of the Hornets and their desire to beat their opponents
Team Rocket, they will soon be annihilated by us, Scott finally raised his arms and shouted
The faces of the Hornets players also gradually flashed a look of eagerness to fight
Indeed, the game has reached this point, and a small step further can completely bury the hope of the Rockets, and of course they want to make a big play
They all hope this is their last meeting with the Rockets in this series
The game officially began, and the Rockets not only did not show the same fighting spirit as in the last game, but even their shooting percentage had dropped
Although this game is about whether they will be swept by the Hornets, they are really not very able to lift the fighting spirit
There are even players planning their own offseason trips
There's no way the game has come to this point, they don't have any hope of beating the Hornets, they just hope that the Hornets don't abuse them so badly...,
With such prayers, you can imagine what level they can play
In the game, Yao Ming himself was still playing conscientiously on the inside, shooting when he had the opportunity, and he had to shoot if he didn't have the opportunity to create opportunities, and he played quite tenaciously
But in fact, Yao Ming doesn't have the same strong fighting spirit as before......
He didn't have much hope either......
Even he doesn't know what it will take for the Rockets to re-emerge and make it to the playoffs, the second round, and the semifinals......
In this situation, the Hornets played relatively easily, and they had a lot of offensive opportunities on the outside, and there was no pressure on the outside shots, but they shot very resolutely and accurately
Jongwook's shooting was also as accurate as in the last game
So the first quarter ended, and the score became 31-24, and the Hornets led the Rockets by 7 points into the second quarter
In the playoffs, the Hornets scored 31 points in a single quarter...... The Rockets could see today that they really didn't contribute much on the defensive end
Then the second quarter began
It can be said that today's game still did not surprise most fans, and the Rockets really couldn't beat the Hornets...... And the momentum of the Rockets is far from catching up with the last game
It's no wonder if you don't lose like this......
With the last six seconds left in the game, Jongwook took control of the ball from the outside, suddenly shook his shoulder, followed him and pulled the basketball to his right hand, and with an acceleration he forced a break through from Battier's left hand
Battier defended very well, but Zhong Yu used another change of direction to change the basketball through his crotch and came to the left hand side, Zhong Yu immediately put away the basketball as well, then went to his left side, then took another step, and then jumped up directly
Battier didn't have time to seal it now, Zhong Yu sold quickly, and opened up space
rubbing the basketball and rubbing the basket into the net, the Hornets ended the first half of the game with 59-46 (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation)
