Basketball: Dayao Reopened

I'm coming!

Tracy McGrady’s classic quote is here!

When Yao Ming saw this news coming out, he couldn't help but sigh for his old man: I hope you won't get slapped this time!

In fact, if the relationship is better, Yao Ming will jokingly send a message to the latter, reminding him to wait until after defeating the Pistons, but now the relationship between them is indeed not as good as that—— Although he has contact information with Tracy McGrady, it was added when a group of people added to each other in the All-Star Game.

Now I just silently wish myself this old man, this time I can really make it to the second round!

Subsequently, the Rockets ushered in the fourth game with the Timberwolves.

Without any accident, the Rockets all made efforts to win the fourth game and became the first team in the entire league to enter the second round of the playoffs this year.

Other teams, the best, such as the Magic, are only leading 3-1 and still need a victory to advance.

The Timberwolves fans were very disappointed. Before the final whistle sounded, a large group of fans had already left the audience, and after the buzzing sounded, the Timberwolves fans on the scene left a large area. There is no nostalgia at all, and they don't want to see the Rockets partying on their territory.

However, some old fans can't help but look back at Kevin Garnett. This is the 7th consecutive year that their "Wolf King" has been out of the first round. They really feel distressed!

The Timberwolves reporter who accompanied the team looked at Kevin Garnett with a frustrated expression on his face.

It's no wonder that he would express such emotions. In this round of the Rockets and Timberwolves series, to put it bluntly, everyone besieged and killed the Timberwolves. The wolf king was outnumbered and defeated...

As long as the Wolf King has a helper, this team will never let the Rockets pass so easily!

"Hey!"

"Everyone!"

But when the Timberwolves fans and reporters on the sidelines were frustrated, Kevin Garnett suddenly shouted at them. His shout made the fans who were leaving and the reporters on the sidelines. , Everyone including the Rockets turned their heads to look at him.

"Don't be depressed, this is not the end!"

"We will come back!"

"Trust us, we will definitely be back!"

"This is definitely not the end!"

With fiery eyes and passionate shouts, Timberwolves' No. 21 sweats profusely, but his expression is firm. At this moment, he perfectly interprets what is called "hot blood"!

No wonder this man will still make Timberwolves fans obsessed after more than ten years...

Yao Ming is full of recognition for him at the moment!

Even Francis said: "If you give this guy a helper, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future!"

No matter what the future is, he will be very difficult next season!

Yao Ming said silently in his heart, if he remembers correctly, the Timberwolves management made a series of transactions this offseason, helping Kevin Garnett find enough helpers, of course, by conscience. That said, the guys that the Timberwolves signed this offseason all have their own problems and are not the best choice.

It was just unexpected that they had a wonderful chemical reaction, which made the Timberwolves become the top powerhouse in the West!

Perhaps, this is God's best reward for the passionate man in front of him, right?

...

Solve the Timberwolves 4-0.

As the first team to advance to the next round, the Rockets received crazy praise from the media. No one thought that this youth army was actually the first team to advance to the second round this year...

Among them, Yao Ming was the most praised. After four games, Yao Ming averaged rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was more than 55%!

This performance made everyone unable to sit still and stood up one after another.

Bill Walton said: "What else is there to say, this guy is a historic rookie, really great! You can never take this guy lightly!"

Drexler said: "An incredible guy will appear in the Rockets team history again!"

Olajuwon said: "This guy will make Houston regain its glory!"

In addition, Stoudemire, who is already fishing at home, is looking silly, co-author I have been competing with such a guy? No wonder I lost. At this moment, Stoudemire felt that he lost very reasonable, but he wanted to be lazy for two more days and enjoy the vacation. He immediately called his agent: "Man, listen, give me Arrange a few trainers, I have to start training!"

It’s no wonder that everyone is so excited and surprised. After all, in the NBA, the playoffs are completely different from the regular season. Many guys who can be called "superstars" in the regular season are likely to be in the playoffs. Pull your hips, you can see the fierce struggle in the playoffs!

It happened that Yao Ming, who had already achieved very good results in the regular season, was one step closer in scoring and rebounding in the playoffs...

How can such a guy not arouse huge comments?

Has this guy advanced to the next round?

Then I have to quickly solve the Celtics!

O’Neal watched Yao Ming’s performance and listened to the news of Yao Ming’s promotion to the next round. In the fourth game against the Celtics, he also broke out in a frenzy. He scored 25 points in the first half. In the end, the audience scored 36 points and successfully helped the Pacers expand the score to 3-1!

It is worth mentioning that the previous Pacers lost in this game, and then the Celtics pulled two games in a row, eliminated the Pacers and completed the next game.

But this time, the outbreak of O'Neal changed the direction of the situation...

In the bathroom after the game, the "big hero" O'Neal held the soap in his hand and muttered to himself with inexplicable excitement on his face. His heart: Yao, if you can advance, then I will definitely be able to advance, see. Let's see who we lose first!

He didn't allow himself to go home and fish before Yao Ming.

Another Rockets player who is praised is Francis!

Like Yao Ming, many people think that Francis will pull his hips in the playoffs.

Yao Ming is because of his rookie status, and Francis is because he is also in the playoffs for the first time, and his style of play belongs to the type of "giant planet wind" that is easy to be restricted in the playoffs.

But as a result, Francis played well in the first round of his career in the playoffs. He averaged assists per game and shot more than 43% from the field.

To get such data in the playoffs is already better than most of the league's regular season "super giants".

In addition, Shane Battier and others were also praised.

The only one that is not praised... is Kevin Cato.

In the first round of the series, he didn't even play 20 minutes per game, and most of the time he just played, the game has basically entered "garbage time". Players like him have to be in real time. Value can only be reflected in confrontation, and he always plays in the "garbage time", which for him does not show his advantages and strengths at all.

This also makes Kevin Cato very blue and thin with mushrooms. Especially watching Yao Ming and Mutombo complete the connection on the court, there is a kind of "smelly man, get tired of playing, then change his heart" complicated feelings.

However, this is not to blame Tom, it is really Kevin Cato who performed so badly when he played 1 on 1 against Nass, and can only be abandoned in this round.

Let's wait for the next round.

...

A few days after the Rockets were promoted, the situation of the first round of the Eastern and Western Division's promotion gradually became clear.

In the West, the league's No. 1 Spurs rewritten the score to 3-2 through the Battle of Tianwangshan. Then they can advance to the next round as long as they win one more game. Of course, the situation after the first four games. If you look at it, the Trail Blazers are very likely to get the score back in Game 6. The members of this group of "prison reserves" have entered the playoffs and really want to play well, and when they are serious, they burst out of energy. Even the No. 1 Spurs in the league this season can't bear it...

The Lakers and Mavericks also came to a 3-2 score. However, the first to score 3 points was the Lakers. The 5th Lakers in the Western Conference looked like they were going to score!

The Kings and the Jazz were divided between the winners and losers. The old and spicy Jazz did not cause too many obstacles to the Kings. The Kings defeated the Jazz 4-1.

Yao Ming watched the fifth game of the two teams. In addition to the winner of them being their opponent in the next round, there is another point that he knew this would be the swan song of "Utah Shuangsha". The direction of the I, Karl Malone will go to the Lakers at the end of this season, and go to group "f4".

Watching the Jazz eliminated, Yao Ming really felt it was a pity.

In fact, he hopes that he will end the "Utah Shuangsha" era of the Jazz.

Think about it, after he destroyed the "Utah Shuangsha", after two or three years of dormancy, Jerry Sloan formed the "New Utah Shuangsha" to avenge him. He personally cultivated the "old enemy" of the previous life. It feels like Isn't it pretty?

It's a pity that although he has written the script, God didn't want him to stage such a story. The Kings eliminated the Jazz 4-1 in the previous life. In this life, they eliminated the Jazz 4-1!

There is no way, he can only continue to bully Chris Weber and the Kings-regrets, regrets, if I really want to say, the result of playing the Kings is indeed the best solution for the Rockets in the second round. This season 4 duels, The Kings haven't beat them yet. Not surprisingly, the Rockets should be stable in the Western Conference this season.

After Francis knew that the Kings were officially promoted, he also excitedly called Yao Ming: "Stay steady, steady, man, we are going to the Western Conference Finals!"

If you look at this, you can probably know how much the rest of the Rockets can’t look down on this Kings team, even if this is the team that was able to make a tie-break with the defending champion Lakers last year, even if this year’s "Christmas game" The team also beat the Lakers once, which can't hide the fact that they were swept by the Rockets in the regular season this season.

No, after the Kings advanced to the second round, many media immediately issued a statement saying "The Rockets' Western Conference Finals is stable!"

In the last round, the Rockets were not favored, but this round turned out to be the favored side. It can be seen how impressive they swept the Timberwolves in the first round!

Of course, it is indeed inseparable from their playing against the Kings in this round...

In the midst of not being optimistic, everyone on the Kings team set off from Sacramento to Houston!

This is the situation in the west.

The Eastern Conference has a clearer form. Except for the Magic and the Pistons, the other three groups lead 3-2, and only one game win can advance to the next round, and all the upstream teams have a 3-2 lead. Points ahead.

As for the previous 3-1 lead that excited the media and fans, the Magic seems to have encountered trouble in the past two days. The Pistons, who have been forced to a desperate situation, broke out a strong survival**, plus the latest game a day later. In the game, they rewritten the big score into a 3-3 tie with a wave of two consecutive victories!

The two teams returned to the unified starting line.

McGrady’s performance in the last two games is obviously not as eye-catching as before. The reason is that Rick Carlisle’s changes were probably inspired by Tom. He no longer wastes defensive power to defend against the rest of the Magic, but concentrates everything. Tracy’s defensive power was used to limit McGrady alone, and Tracy’s performance fluctuated as a result, and the Magic lost two games in a row.

McGrady said before the start of the seventh game: "We just need to find the original rhythm! We will win, we have the experience of beating them, and this will help us!"

It's just that everyone can see that there is too much uncertainty in his awake eyes, and there are also a lot of worries.

It’s no wonder that if he loses, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame. Since the NBA’s restructuring system, the first team to be reversed with a 3-1 lead is the main core of the team... this title, really. It's not so nice!

In addition, during this period of time, the league also announced this season's "Best Sixth Man Award", "Most Improved Player Award" and "Best Defensive Player Award"...

Bobby Jackson of the Kings won the "Best Sixth Man Award." On the night the award was announced, this guy scored 18 points and helped the Kings win the third game of the series.

Arenas, as predicted by many experts in the season, won the "Most Improved Player Award". After winning this award, "Agent 0" officially stepped onto the stage of the league's strongest second position!

As for the "Best Defensive Player Award", Ben Wallace took the hand, and he became another guy who won the "Best Defensive Player Award" after "Iron Man" Mourning. Like Bobby Jackson, on the night of winning the award, he also broke out, scoring 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, showing an extremely tough "intrinsic defense".

The Rockets have some regrets. They have not received any awards in these awards, but the Rockets guys are indeed no different from these awards, but the "Season's Best General Manager Award" and "Season's Best Head Coach" have not yet been announced. "Award" has made them, or the local media in Houston, greedy. They have started to build momentum for Dawson and Tom several days in advance, and they hope to win at least one of the awards.

After all, the Rockets are considered the biggest "dark horse" team this year. As usual, at least one of these two awards should belong to them!

Dawson and Tom have completely different attitudes towards these two awards.

Although Dawson said to the "best general manager" in the face of the media, "Just do whatever you want," but he still has some yearning for this award. He hasn't won it yet. If he gets it, he can add more salary. ；

Tom doesn't care that much. Whether in the face of the media or in private, he said that this award is fine or not. Although he has never won the "Best Head Coach", he brought the Rockets to the "Jordan era". The "two consecutive championships" in the gap has proved his coaching level. He does not need the gimmick of "best coach" to increase his qualifications. Moreover, there are not a few people who dismissed the get out of class in the second year after finishing the "Best Head Coach". This stuff is poisonous. It's better to not touch it or not to touch it!

...

——Yao, beat Chris Weber and the Kings hard to me!

The Kings advanced, and the Rockets also took the lead in the second round of the playoffs. On the day before the series officially started, Yao Ming unexpectedly received a text message from Karl Malone.

It seems that this guy is very dissatisfied.

But thinking about it, there are indeed reasons for dissatisfaction... What is your Chris Webber! The worst round of the playoffs so far in my career ~www.novelmt.com~ Isn't it the tragedy created by Da Malone? It's better now, buddies and brothers are getting old, let you bully once more with your teammates...

It's weird if Karl Malone can be convinced!

And Yao Ming also knows that this is Karl Malone's swan song in the Jazz, leaving Salt Lake City in the first round, I'm afraid this makes Karl Malone even more uncomfortable!

Yao Ming remembered that Karl Malone had publicly praised him in front of the media before, and the two experiences of "elbow" with him were also very pleasant, so he sent him back information.

——Don't worry, your revenge, buddy has avenged you!

The next night, the Rockets and the Kings officially ushered in the first matchup of the second round of the playoffs.

Hey, what a pity!

Before going on the court, Yao Ming said something in his heart.

There is no other reason. Tonight happened to be his "old buddy" McGrady's life and death battle, and it was a pity that he couldn't see it anymore.
