Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Listening to what Francis said, Yao Ming was inexplicably speechless. When this game is so intense, you don't feel anxious and nervous. What the **** are you suddenly excited?

What's in this guy's head?

He suddenly discovered that although he and Francis had known each other for a long time, he didn't know much about this guy...

Think about it, he and Francis have also joined the playoffs once, and Francis has also changed a lot because of his reopening this season. The nickname of "Spiderman" has also become more stable because of the Timberwolves. In the first round of the basket and sweep, there were some unexpected situations, which seemed quite normal.

After all, this is not a guy who plays cards according to common sense!

I just don't know what kind of result this excitement will have...

Yao Ming was not optimistic about the next situation of the Rockets because of Francis's inexplicable excitement. This guy is too excited, or he played super-normal performance, of course, it is also possible that because he is too excited, his play style on the court takes the "extreme route" instead. It's not impossible to become the guy who pulls the hips on the Rockets...

"Come on to guard me, Mike, come up, come on!"

Once again, Francis changed the way the Rockets played before and began to use exaggerated dribbles to provoke Mike Bibby in front of him. Mike Bibby did not step forward, but stepped on the three-point line and opened his hand like this. Looking at him, he didn't jump on because of Francis's clamor. He knew very well that it was not a wise choice to compare with Francis explosively.

Seeing that Mike Bibby was indifferent to his provocation, Francis didn't hesitate immediately. He dribbled the ball and then shot a jumper. A step beyond the three-point line, he just shot straight!

Many fans on the scene held it up with one hand while he threw the ball.

The on-site commentator Bill Worrell also shouted: "Steve~ Francis's three-pointer... scored!"

"OMG!"

"What an imposing ball!"

In his loud shout, the ball fell into the basket smoothly, and the fans all over the field made a huge shout with excitement at this time!

The fans who straightened their arms also let go of their fists at the same time.

This goal, Francis scored too handsome!

"I said, come up and defend me, man!"

Francis threw a **** at Mike Bibby, and then couldn't restrain his excitement anymore, and slammed his fist when he returned to the defense.

The goal allowed the Rockets to tie the point difference.

"Good job!" Yao Ming stepped forward and gave him a high-five, "Just fight like that!"

The offensive of the Kings is so fierce, the Rockets need to have a stranger to appear to disrupt the rhythm of their defensive end. As long as the rhythm of one end of the offensive and defensive ends changes, then the rhythm of the other end will inevitably be affected!

Yao Ming originally planned to strengthen his individual singles after this timeout, which would affect Chris Webber's mentality and thus affect the entire Kings team, but now the Rockets clearly have a better candidate, that is, the exciting Steve Francis.

"OK, just fight like that! Yao, watch my performance!"

Francis continued to face Mike Bibby with the ball in the next round. He watched the latter and stepped on the three-point line. You are welcome. If you posture, you must hold the ball with both hands and continue to shoot the "large three-pointer." Mike Bibby immediately He jumped forward. Obviously Francis’s three-pointer just had an impact on his defensive judgment. It doesn’t matter that Francis is about to shoot, he immediately rushed forward, and Francis was waiting for this time, a "beef of Buddha" from He rushed to the side, an emergency stop jumper, and hit again.

"Hey, buddy, although I said to defend me, you don't need to be so excited. If you do this, you are embarrassed if I am not abrupt!"

Francis scolded and slapped his hands back to his defense.

This appearance was given a close-up by the big screen at the scene, once again letting the atmosphere of the scene reach the goal.

These two goals scored solely by personal ability obviously affected the Rockets' defensive enthusiasm in the next round. The Kings passed seven or eight consecutive goals, but they didn't pass a good open position.

In the end, the Kings also made a mistake in this round. Christie tried to throw the ball in the other direction before the bottom line was stabilized. As a result, the ball fell out of bounds.

This is an opportunity!

The Rockets have been beaten up until now. From the start to the present, they have led less than five rounds. The second quarter has been behind.

Now, the Kings finally made a mistake!

As long as the ball can be scored, the Rockets will become the leader!

However, Tom did not adjust his style of play, and Yao Ming did not ask for the ball. Now Francis’s show is on the court, just let him play as much as he wants!

They did not change, but the Kings changed. Adelman asked Christie in the second position to defend Francis.

Mike Bibby's defensive effect, Adelman really can't stand it anymore.

Christie is a supplement to the Kings' perimeter defense, and this guy's defensive enthusiasm is high enough, but now he is facing a very excited Francis.

And it is single defense.

Therefore, even if he switched defenses in front of Francis, it would not have any effect.

Continuous dribbling in front of the body, Christie was so shaken by Francis that he didn't dare to move. He even stared at Francis for a second and didn't dare to move away. For fear that the guy would suddenly pass by him as soon as he moved away, it can be said to be very Of concentration.

But sometimes excessive concentration can make him dull.

For example, at this time, Francis, who had been dribbling fast, suddenly stopped in a slow motion. The concentrated Christie subconsciously reached out to take the ball. Francis looked at the hand he stretched out, and accelerated again, and his body changed drastically. , Directly swayed Christie to the side.

Then adjust it a little bit and shoot!

"Huh!"

Go in again!

"Crazy, crazy, this kid is crazy!"

"My God, why is this guy suddenly so fierce!"

On the TNT commentary station, Barkley and Kenny Smith had unbelievable expressions. They admitted that Francis was great, but they never thought that this guy could be so great!

And it's still on the stage of the playoffs.

"What did your kid eat? Beware of being pulled for a urine test at the end of the game!"

Mobley, who ran over to give Francis a high-five, was also surprised. He looked at this good brother who was screaming crazily towards the auditorium. He still had some strangeness in his eyes. He has been partnering with Mobley for so many years, he really didn’t. I have seen such a strong Francis in the playoffs.

Uh, well, the point is that our two brothers have never made the playoffs together...

But this buddy is really strong!

Yao Ming also ran to high-five Francis. At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now it seems that Francis' excitement brought a positive reaction.

He doesn't care about Francis' sudden burst. He was originally an All-Star starting guard. Coupled with his training for this guy in the second half of the regular season, Francis's physical condition is much better than before, and his shooting stability is also better. A lot better, singles Christie and Mike Bibby, not to mention the handle, it is also a stable one!

...

With Francis scoring 7 points in a row, the Rockets' momentum obviously began to suppress the Kings. Coupled with this is the Rockets’ home court, affected by these factors, the Kings’ offensive is finally no longer as stable as before, until the third quarter. At 7 minutes and 14 seconds, the Rockets successfully opened the point difference to 7 points.

Seeing another three-pointer, it's a double-digit point difference!

"It's okay, it's okay, let us catch the difference and let us score the next goal!"

However, the Kings are really good enough today. Although the state of the first two quarters is gone, they did not directly fail. Instead, they showed strong perseverance, especially after 3 minutes and 43 seconds of the third quarter, as long as the Rockets play To score a goal, they must return a goal.

And every time, Chris Webber would shout to keep his teammates excited!

The words of the "king" are naturally useful, otherwise, they would not be able to survive until now.

It's just that the Rockets are becoming more and more familiar with their passing rhythm. After the Kings went to the frontcourt, they did not pass the ball for 5 consecutive times. This has been the norm since the third quarter of the game.

Fortunately, several people on the Kings team have become more and more patient.

The ball finally reached Chris Webb's hands. In fact, he saw a better position, but the 24 seconds offensive time was approaching, and he had to shoot himself at the basket.

First it was a fake move, and then a small wiper shot.

"Snapped!"

Mutombo predicted his fake action perfectly. When he made the second real shot, he slapped the ball with his palm and slapped the ball directly. Yao Ming, who was next to him, took the ball, turned his head and gave it to Mobley, and "Old Cat" gave it to Francis who was ahead of everyone.

good chance!

The cheers on the scene have already sounded in advance.

But no one expected that Francis did not rush to the basket, but chose to shoot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

"Dang!"

The ball didn't score!

"Ouch!" Kenny Smith felt sorry for him.

"Why didn't this ball rush in and dunk!" Barkley cried out his doubts.

Francis shook his head slightly, and gestured to everyone on the Rockets: "Mine, mine!"

Be sure to hold it this time!

Chris Webber was secretly relieved as he watched Francis miss the three-pointer.

When he was just overtaken by Mutombo, his whole heart was in his throat. Now is the critical moment. If the Rockets scored in this round, it would be a blow to his teammates' fighting spirit!

Fortunately!

Fortunately, I didn't get in!

He still has a chance for atonement.

"Huh!"

Chris Webber once again became the end point of the team, this time he did not lose the chain again, the shot successfully sent the ball into the basket.

The difference is 5 points!

Francis dribbled the ball to the frontcourt by himself, and the last three-pointer missed his face and his face was full of "must score this time."

Still continuous dribble.

Tonight Francis's offense should not be said or not, full of streetball style, in two words to describe it, it is gorgeous!

Even more gorgeous than the Kings team offense!

After scoring a goal in this way, it brings a high momentum!

Just by looking at the audience, you can see how hot the atmosphere is now, and the cheers haven't stopped very much until now.

"Snapped!"

Only this time, Francis, who had played with Christie many times with the dribble before, was actually tackled face-to-face by the latter, and when he turned his head to chase, this guy was also stretched a distance by Christie.

"Bah!"

Christie, who has been on the show, dunks the ball into the basket with one hand for the whole game. Then he raised his head and yelled, he also let out a bad breath.

Missed the second consecutive attack.

Seeing Francis panting back and waiting for the ball, everyone realized a problem: this guy is tired!

Kenny Smith suddenly realized at this moment: "It's no wonder that this guy didn't choose to dunk, but chose a fast three-pointer. I said, if fast break is not a dunk, where is Steve? Now it seems that it is obviously him. tired!"

Adelman also yelled from the sidelines at this time: "This guy is tired, just continue to defend like this!"

Yao Ming glanced at the time. It was more than 8 minutes in the third quarter. This guy should really be tired from singles in the second quarter to now.

"Steve!" Yao Ming yelled at Francis when he passed the ball to Francis again.

"Huh?" Francis turned his head.

Yao Ming smiled and said: "It's almost done, it's time for me to perform!" He wouldn't say, if you are tired, let me come. He knows that if he said so, Francis would definitely say, I won't tired! Steve Francis is never tired!

This is a face-saving master!

So speak tactfully.

No, Francis immediately agreed: "Okay!"

Then after halftime, Francis immediately gave the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming, who took a two-quarter break, didn't think about how to play more effortlessly this time. He carried Chris Weber and hit three times before moving forward. Take a step to the basket, lean forward and put the basket to complete the goal!

The point difference came to 5 points again!

"Nice! Dude, have you been holding back for a long time? I'll leave it to you next!" This time it was Francis' turn to cheer Yao Ming.

"Don't worry, you can give me the ball!" During the two quarters, "fishing", Yao Ming's physical fitness can be said to be very abundant at this moment! Even if there is a little more time in the next quarter and let him play every round, he can stick to it.

"Bah!"

In the next round, Yao Ming even completed a dunk with one hand.

Well, not only can he stick to it, but he still doesn't need to consider his physical stamina at all!

correct!

This team still has this kid!

Why did I forget this guy...

Seeing Yao Ming start to exert his strength, the Kings are a little depressed, especially Adelman, who just noticed that Francis was weak and was happy, his face immediately became ugly again.

The Rockets regained control of the situation. However, the Kings still did not collapse. Compared to the regular season, they had a lot more resilience, but although they persisted and did not collapse, they could not catch up with a 7-point difference. At 10 minutes and 14 seconds of the fourth quarter, Kevin Cato received a pass from Yao Ming to complete a dunk, opening the point difference to 9 points. This game was officially locked by the Rockets. In the end, the Rockets scored 111 to 103. An 8-point advantage won the first game of the second round of the Western Conference playoffs!

The big score came to 1-0!

Exciting Francis scored 33 points in this game and was the guy with the highest score in the game. In addition, he also got 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal!

His sudden burst from the second quarter timeout was an opportunity for the Rockets to win this game, and it can be said to be a major contributor to the Rockets' victory tonight.

Of course, Yao Ming is also a great contributor to the Rockets’ win. He scored 27 points in the audience. He stood up and continued to control the situation steadily after he scored 27 points. Won the game.

If this is a csgo game, then it can be said that Francis carried the first half and Yao Ming carried the second half.

Yao Ming also scored 14 rebounds and 3 assists.

Because the Rockets are flooded with so many singles tonight, the overall number of assists is very small, including Yao Ming and Francis's personal assists are much less than their usual.

But even so, they still defeated the Kings with a total of 22 assists in their personal ability!

Chris Webber's face was a bit unwilling. They played so well in the first half, but they lost the game because of a Francis, which really made them unwilling!

You know, in so many games with the Rockets in the regular season, Francis has never become the Rockets' winner, but he broke out in this game...

Can Chris Webb be willing?

Stojakovic, who was as unhappy as him, did not say a word until he entered the dressing room. He made a total of 6 three-pointers tonight. The performance can be said to be very good, but he lost the game. No matter how much you put in, the person who is smiling is still Yao Ming!

Really...

ESPN summarized the game sharply: "The Kings once again lost to the same type of opponent. They lost to the Lakers like this last year, and now they have lost their first game with the Rockets in the same way. The game, yes, even if one year has passed, the Kings have not solved their biggest problem. They lack players with enough single defense capabilities!"

They think the way the Kings lost is completely the same as last year. Last year they lost to the singles of "OK", and this year they lost to the singles of "Yofu"...

Of course, it is true that the main reason for the Kings' biggest loss is that they failed to limit Francis's singles and Yao Ming's singles!

"This is a new style of play, right?"

"Well, absolutely. Anyway, I really didn't expect Steve to perform so well tonight!"

Francis' performance tonight was unexpected by the Kings and Tom and Thibodeau did not expect it. When they returned to the office after the interview, they talked about it happily.

They must admit that Francis has brought them a surprise, because the Kings' defense is most afraid of this kind of individual combat ability!

They are considering whether Francis' singles priority can be increased in the next game!

—— Dude, good job, just fight like that, damn, really great, try to take Chris Webber 4-1! I can't wait to see him looking down in frustration!

After the interview, Yao Ming went back to the locker room and saw the message that Karl Malone had sent him. It seemed that the guy watched the game all the way, and he was very excited as you can see between the lines.

——I will try my best, buddy.

It’s just that the information Yao Ming gave to this guy is not as certain as the last time. Although the Rockets won this game, Yao Ming can feel that the Kings have changed after entering the playoffs. They are much better than they were in the regular season. Now, if there is no Francis outbreak in this game, I am afraid that they will still be suppressed by the Kings until the end of the first half!

Yao Ming is really not confident that he can eliminate the Kings 4-0!

Instead, he felt that this would be a hard fight!

"From a 3-1 lead to a 3-4 reversal, the biggest reversal in the first round of NBA history occurred in the first year of the reorganization of the playoffs. Tracy McGrady is out! 》

At the end of the interview, Yao Ming also cared about the "old man" next door. This guy was a life and death battle tonight, and the final result was a pity. The previous life humiliated McGrady once again in this life.

"We could have won, it's really too bad!"

Seeing McGrady's tone of voice, Yao Ming couldn't help but sighed. This feeling was really too bad.

Although he has not experienced a 3-1 lead being reversed, he has experienced a 2-0 lead being reversed twice. That feels bad enough, and the feeling of being reversed 3-1 must be even worse!

However, as far as the last game is concerned, McGrady can't blame anyone. He only made 7 goals in 24 shots in 45 minutes of playing time, only scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 29%... …Compared to his previous games, the difference is a bit big.

It is equivalent to saying that he has blocked his way to victory!

However, even so, enough Risby must be given to this guy, because this guy has shown hard work and demonstrated his responsibility as a leader!

What about 7 of 24 shots? Compared to 3 of 10 shots, the hit rate may be a bit worse, but the core responsibility is more than several times more than ten times.

You know, if you win in the end, it will be you, the core who will be praised for holding the cup! Why don't you dare to stand up when you are behind and fight it by yourself? Why do you keep passing the ball to your teammates?

McGrady lost, and he didn't play well, but he didn't stubbornly lose!

Speaking of which, this round of playoffs is like McGrady’s entire career. The early stage was brilliant, and when he was the most brilliant, he was only one step away from success, but when he waved toward success, he started to keep going down again. , Until the end, he couldn't even show a decent performance, and had to go to the Spurs to hold his thigh, but God was still unwilling to let him succeed once... It was really too hard!

Why!

Hope this is his last ordeal this time!

Yao Ming silently prayed for McGrady in his heart: Or God, give him an Ibaka this time!

This can be regarded as satisfying the wish of the previous life of McGrady!

...

The long-awaited "Black Eight Miracle" by the fans did not finally take place.

However, after watching a big reversal from 1-3 behind to 4-3 promotion, the fans are also very happy. With the Pistons confirming the official promotion, the league's other playoff matchups also have answers.

The Pacers killed the Celtics 4-1 and rewrote their own destiny. After the fifth game of qualifying, O'Neal clenched his fists and secretly said: Waiting for me, Yao, I will come. Chasing you!

They will meet last season's runner-up Nets in the second round...

Another set of duels in the Eastern Conference consisted of the Pistons, who had finally made it through, against the Philadelphia 76ers led by Allen Iverson!

After the Kings and Rockets have finished a game in the West, the other two matchups also came to fruition. The Lakers won the Mavericks, kicked it, and advanced to the next round.

In fact, they are also the only team that has completed the playoffs in the playoffs so far this year!

I should say that, regardless of the position of the defending champion, it should not be ignored... Of course, the premise is that the "big brother" cannot be the kind of big brother who walks back to defense. !

After the Spurs won the Tianwangshan battle, they did not give the Trail Blazers a chance and easily solved the latter in the sixth game. It is worth mentioning that Budenholzer showed his excellent scheduling in this game. Ability and targeted defense made Rashid Wallace very uncomfortable to play, and in the end he became irritable and was sent off after eating two tards.

Also after this game, the local media in San Antonio said: "This guy has learned a lot from Greg. Rest assured, Greg, the Spurs are very good now!"

This is not the first time that San Antonio's local media have been quabdenholzer.

Some time ago, a hospital bed collapsed in a hospital ward in San Antonio. An old man lying on the hospital bed tossed and tossed because of these reports that praised Budenholzer. By the way, I broke my leg and broke it again, and I haven't been discharged from the hospital until now!

This time, the local media in San Antonio said directly that Budenholzer had learned a lot from him, and the old man was afraid that he would have trouble sleeping again.

The Spurs are getting better now, how can he go back?

It would be nice to lose to the Lakers!

**That's why this idea appeared in Vitch's mind...Except for the season before Tim Duncan, he has never been so eager for the team to lose for a moment like now!

...

While all remaining teams are preparing for the second round of the playoffs, the Rockets also ushered in the second game of the series.

Yao Ming's worry is not without reason!

After the Kings entered the playoffs, they changed a team, full of resilience, and they are no longer as easy to lose chains as they did during the regular season.

In the second game of the series, they targeted Francis: This guy was the biggest obstacle for the Kings to lose in the last game. This time the Kings coaching staff fully studied this guy and conducted a series of targets on him. The effect Still good, Francis failed to break out in this game.

In this way, the Kings took the initiative. Although Yao Ming played well and led the team to the stalemate to the final moments, in the end Mike Bibby stood up and used a three-pointer against Francis to kill the game, 109. 108 took away the victory of the second game from the Rockets' home court and tied the big score to a 1-1 draw!

"That's it!"

The hero who won the last game became the background of this game, and the performance of the whole game was not very good. When the final whistle sounded, Francis returned to the bench and smashed the back of the bench severely.

We cannot be defeated so easily!

We are destined to return!

When the time comes, I also promise that you will definitely show off...Wait, wait a moment, I will pretend to be a wave!

Mike Bibby, who hit the lore three-pointer, looked at the Rockets' auditorium coldly, pretending to be a big wave! Just before he could finish pretending, Chris Webb rushed towards him and hugged him excitedly, so Mike Bibby could only end his pretending earlier.

No wonder Chris Webber is so excited, because before Mike Bibby hit this three-pointer, the Kings missed the ball, it was him! And it was twice in a row, if it wasn't for Mike Bibby to hit the three-pointer, I'm afraid he would die of regret!

Fortunately~www.novelmt.com~ Fortunately!

Fortunately, his teammate is Mike Bibby!

Speaking of, it has repeatedly dropped the chain at critical moments, and Chris Webber's ranking in the historical power forward position of the NBA is always not high.

——This guy has a very good life. There is such a guy as a teammate. However, I believe that with that guy, you will definitely be able to enter the final Western Conference finals!

Karl Malone was sour after watching this game, but he was therefore more certain that Yao Ming could win.

Yao Ming didn’t reply this time. He was not in the mood to bother about these things. The fact is that the Kings won the second game. They tied the score at 1-1. In the next 5 games, they will have 3. Home.

In other words, the Kings have now become the more dominant side.

Do you think Yao Ming is still in the mood to send a message to Karl Malone under such circumstances!

All he is thinking about now is how to win the third game of the series!
