The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 85 The Peak Showdown

After McGrady landed, he excitedly pushed Yao Ming several times, his expression was really high.

"MVP! MVP!"

Although McGrady has long missed the regular season MVP, but in the eyes of Houston fans at the moment, McGrady's dunk is already tonight's MVP.

The Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean were completely excited. Some fans who had no chance to witness McGrady's shocking dunk at the time were completely opened their eyes today.

Who said McGrady is old, McGrady is only 28 years old!

Who said McGrady can't do it, this buckle hits the face directly!

The game was interrupted for more than ten seconds before continuing triumphantly, but the fans' emotions were uncontrollable.

This buckle really boosted morale.

This buckle was also beyond Tang Tian's expectation, he gave a thumbs up to Mai Di who was running back.

Although McGrady was suspended before, because the two had communicated beforehand, it did not affect their relationship.

McGrady's dunk boosted the morale of the Rockets. With this momentum, the Rockets led the Spurs by 24 to 17 when they played more than 7 minutes in the first quarter. This is the first time in the series. !

The Rockets played like a rainbow. If it was an ordinary opponent, their mentality might collapse directly.

But the Spurs obviously don't belong to the general opponents. Popovich dispatched troops when he was on the bench, and because of the short run-in time of the Rockets, the unlimited air-cut tactics of the bench couldn't play, and the point difference was chased bit by bit. go back.

At the critical moment, Novak played the role of a surprise soldier. This rookie who was arranged by Tang Tian to kill the Heat, hit a life-saving three-pointer on the offensive end, stabilizing the situation for the Rockets.

And this also made the game extremely anxious.

After halftime, the Rockets and the Spurs tied at 52, and neither of them got the slightest advantage from the other side.

Although it was only a tie, there were back and forth on the scene, and the fans' emotions were infinitely high.

"This is a matchup at the finals level. All of us underestimated the Rockets." Barkley said with emotion before halftime.

"I always remember what Coach Rudy said at the beginning, never underestimate the heart of a champion. The Rockets have a championship tradition, and they will never give up lightly." Smith said with some emotion. A member of that magical defending Rockets team, he was proud of the Rockets' halftime performance.

"Don't let your guard down. The Spurs are the toughest opponent in the league. We must work hard to drag the game into the decisive stage, so that we have the same chance of winning as the Spurs." Tang Tian said during the intermission this sentence.

This is indeed the case. Back in the second half, the two teams were still inseparable.

The Rockets' unskilled infinite cut tactics did not have the immediate effect of the Warriors, but at least it gave them a chance to win, and the players really did their best.

This time, it was Uncle Mu who came out of the bench. The veteran rushed to the frontcourt rebounds and made tip-ups at critical moments, allowing the Rockets to bite the score.

The game was in full swing, and it entered the last minute.

From the 52 tie at the end of the midfield, the two teams reached a 91 tie abruptly.

The Spurs' offensive round.

At this point in the game, tactics are no longer so important, what is to be watched is the competition between the stars of the two sides.

Duncan held the ball and chipped Millsap in the low post.

Millsap is very tough, and Duncan's strong play did not take much advantage this time.

However, as the number one power forward in history, Duncan's strength is obviously more than that. After his continuous footsteps swayed, he got himself a chance to hit the board.

Millsap pulled him down abruptly, fouling out the scoring.

Duncan went to the free throw line, and the scene was full of boos.

First free throw, hit.

The second free throw was also hit.

Duncan's heart remained unchanged, just as his expression remained unchanged.

For the Rockets' offense, they didn't make infinite air cuts. This air cut lasted the entire game, and both sides were exhausted.

Yao Ming saw that the Spurs used Oberto to defend him, and then reached out for the ball after sinking low.

Afraid of Yao Ming's pass, the Spurs did not double-team.

Oberto has a tough playing style, but Yao Ming is a technical insider, and he obviously does not have an advantage in matchups.

After continuous footsteps, Yao Ming turned around and made a small hook at the moment Oberto exerted his strength.

"Shua!"

The basketball also entered the frame steadily.

93 levels!

With 30 seconds left in the game, the Spurs called a timeout!

The fans at the scene felt nervous and their hearts were about to jump out.

This game was really exciting.

"Huh!" Even Barkley in the commentary seat let out a long and cooperative breath.

After the timeout, the Spurs pressed the time to within 15 seconds, and then handed the ball to Duncan to play inside.

This time it was Yao Ming who defended Duncan. This was a direct dialogue between the two top insiders.

Both are full-tonnage technical schools, and neither of them can say that they have an absolute advantage in the matchup.

However, in terms of flexibility, Duncan has a lot of advantages. After turning around and adding steps, Duncan got a chance for himself.

A signature hit, the basketball bounces into the net.

As long as there is a chance, this trick is sure to hit, it can be called unsolvable.

The Rockets also called the final timeout.

"Yao, you come and fight." Tang Tian looked at Yao Ming who was out of breath, and said directly.

Yao Ming froze for a moment, but immediately nodded vigorously.

In the past, the key shots were basically played by McGrady, but with Popovich's urine, Bowen and Barry will definitely be replaced in the final defense. It is too difficult for McGrady to attack from the outside, so it is better to play for Yao Ming. If you really can't get in, you still have a chance to cause damage.

"This game is really suffocating, and my palms are sweating now." Barkley said, touching the palm of his right hand back and forth with his left hand, confirming that he was not joking this time.

"Yes, this is one of the most exciting games since this year's playoffs, and all the viewers who watched it are definitely worth it." Smith swallowed as he said.

Pause back, the last 10 seconds, the Rockets' frontcourt ball.

Sure enough, as Tang Tian expected, Popovich replaced Bowen and Barry, two defensive champions, on the field.

The Rockets have a lot of space on the court, Yao Ming stands directly at the free throw line, and Duncan is defending him.

Blake served McGrady on the outside, and McGrady was double-teamed immediately after receiving the ball.

But he was already prepared, and before the double-teaming, he had already lobbed Yao Ming to the free throw line in advance.

The other points of the Rockets quickly pulled away, taking away all their defenders.

The free throw line became an arena for Yao Ming and Duncan.

The last 8 seconds.
