Chapter 290 Infinite Dawn!Houston Win!

In 1995, the first year of the return of the Great Baseball, Rockets centers Olajuwon and Drexler led the sixth Rockets in the Western Conference. In the semifinals, they defeated the strongest Spurs in the Robinson era.The young general Avery Johnson, who is still a recruit, cried after the game...

"Just the last bit...Damn it, big Texas cockroach!" he said.

That year Tim Duncan, a freshman at Wake Forest University from the U.S. Virgin Islands, became famous in the entire college basketball world...

In 1999, the Lakers smashed the Rockets in the first round, ending the era of big dreams, and let the San Antonio people who were sharpening their knives come to nothing, so they had to vent their anger in Los Angeles. The "No. 21 rookie" Duncan averaged 35 points per game and humiliated the Shark who had just traveled to the west and was not acclimatized.

"Fortunately, we didn't fight, otherwise we don't know how we died..." Olajuwon said.

On a certain day in November 2004, Houston ushered in the former league scoring champion, McGrady, and scored 11 points in the last 35 seconds, giving an old enemy from a different era a meeting gift...

In the playoffs that year, Houston won first and then lost, allowing the Dallasites to pass the first round. This time, the Spurs, who were ready for revenge, once again spread their anger on others...

This is destined to be a sinful fate...

Considering that McGrady still enjoyed the benefit of being called the last one on the field for most of last season, and this season, after Yao Ming returned, Houston really ushered in their new head star...

So even though the times are different, the Rockets' head star will definitely give the Spurs a little surprise, but this time it was postponed to the playoffs, and he came twice...

In Game [-] of the Western Conference semifinals, the surprise came, and then the battle of Tianwangshan continued to surprise: Like the first game, Popovich, who seemed to be scared of running, refused to double-team or go around Yao Ming.He thought that this weak performance would make the runners in Houston return to the positional battle and play hand-to-hand with him...

It's a pity that Houston couldn't see through Bobo's good intentions. Maybe if they saw through, they would continue to bombard Tianwangshan to leave some suspense...

Not double-teaming Yao Ming?
"Are-you-kidding-Me?"

Even Ron began to faintly feel that the Western Conference was steadily waving at him...

Positional warfare, which made the Rockets' Yao core strategy quickly spread.

At the end of the second quarter, Iverson fought until the corner of his eye bleeds, and then the butcher Crawford relaxed slightly.

In the second half, Hayes' defense and Barry's cavalry played, following without the ball and shooting from long distances, the Rockets' bench group twisted the Spurs.

Don't Nick Young use an unbeaten Spurs veteran Brent Barry?

This move was obviously beyond the expectations of the Spurs: impatience, constant forward gambling steals, and double-teaming to release open positions.

The Rockets responded calmly and solved the open three-pointer.

On the defensive end, Chandler went deep into the fence, specializing in all kinds of small body odors, preventing sudden interference with shooting strategies, forcing the Spurs to shoot a lot of jumpers, and at one point Popovich was furious from the sidelines...

The real hardness is reflected in the fourth quarter: the Spurs launched the usual "pressure on the ball-steals-fast break" blitz, and a wave of 8-0 made Houston sway.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a foreigner came out of the Rockets, regardless of the situation, and ran into the enemy team for a dunk... Ariza, who had disappeared for a long time on the offensive end, started McGrady's imitation show again. He made a foolish and bold step to cut in, but he just caught the weakness of the Spurs' lack of athletic ability: You must know that the Spurs' defense is the most terrible, and its ONE-ON-ONE defense is slightly inferior, let alone, Ariza's several dunks really boosted morale and made the Spurs floor embarrassed for a while...

It's just that Ginobili pretended to be a mixture of Kobe + Wade for a while, feeling fully open.

At this time, not double-teaming Yao Ming has become the key word in this Tianwangshan decisive battle, and success or failure depends on it...

Success and Xiao He defeat Xiao He...Popovich's "bold release of water" received "miraculous effects"...

Yao Ming played against Ginobili in the fourth quarter, scoring points and stabilizing the situation...

He had several difficult fadeaway jumpers, which made the tens of thousands of Houston fans crazy again, and then DeJuan Blair continued to hit the top, and continued to be subdued by the turnaround jumper...

"There's no need to lean back! Dayao! Blair, a stocky rebounder, is over 200 tall!" The team doctor Qing Itachi rarely appeared on the scene...

"Oh! That's a customary action, a temporary warm-up for the Western Conference Finals against Gasol!" With a 10-point lead, some Toyota Center staff began to brag.

"However, he played with an injury! It's too messy! This might..."

"Shut your crow's mouth! Smelly Taoist priest!" Ron just finished speaking, and the turning point of the entire series seems to have arrived...

The ball was sent to Yao Ming's hands again, turned around and the ball didn't touch, and then fell to the ground with a sense of rhythm...

"What!"

At the Toyota Center, even all the audience in front of the TV had their hearts hanging in their throats...

No one will ever forget what happened last year...

Collide with Kobe and...

Then there was the lack of Yao Ming, the Rockets lost to the final championship after 7 fierce battles...

...

"Don't...don't..."

In the player tunnel, Yao Ming was escorted to the locker room with a grim expression on his face...

That one fall was enough to break hearts in Houston...

Then the Spurs took advantage of the fire, a wave of 12 to 3, widening the point difference...

Tyson Chandler commits 6…

The Spurs are in full swing!

Without Yao Ming's rocket, positional warfare is completely looking for abuse...

Only 1 point difference...

Could it be that the history of Tianwangshan's match against the Mavericks in 04 will repeat itself?

Just when Ron and all the audience began to be confused...but at that moment...

Thunderous applause begins...

Then the big screen was the scene captured by the cameraman: Yao Ming entered the aisle, refused to go back to the locker room, sprayed with Qing Itachi, put his hands on the wall to move his legs, and then came back...

"You... what are you doing!"

"I want to win!"

Two sentences of Chinese, even if Westerners can’t understand them, they can still understand some information on Yao Ming’s stern face...

When Yao Ming limped through the Japanese LOGO aisle at the Toyota Center and walked towards Duncan, the audience roared like a tsunami.

"It's all wild!" Drexler yelled to himself at the time, and he later admitted he couldn't hear;

How much like the first game of the 2008 Finals, Paul Pierce walked out of the aisle, and the mountains and tsunami in the garden.

Without a doubt, this was the brightest moment of Yao Ming's career: His 18 points in the game were not outstanding, but when he fell to the ground, the situation between the Spurs and the Rockets seemed to be tense again...

Suddenly, the giant came out step by step, and immediately used a magnificent Shanghai dance to cause Duncan to commit 5 fouls and stab the Spurs in the heart.

The Rockets are in a state of momentum - so with Mayo's consecutive three-pointers, with Lowry's consecutive breakthrough free throws, and with the confidence that they will not be afraid even in overtime...

This hit is two overtime...

"The people are here, the ball is here!"

When Dayao yelled in a language that Laomei couldn't understand, in Ron's blurred vision, it was clearly his knee that was swollen to the size of a fist...

Iverson replaced Lowry, whose legs were twitching at the same time, and then used a body force that he was not good at, and knocked the corner of the other eye open...

99:97…Double OT…

Yes, consistent with what Avery Johnson said at the beginning...

Or just a little bit…

The crushed Texas cockroach was once again in front of his powerful neighbor, jumping up and down as a rocket...

...

The Rockets fought a battle on Tianwang Mountain that stunned the whole world: this group of common people used a method of rolling in the mud to hold on to their positions. First, they ran up and forced the Spurs to roll with them in the mud, fighting positional warfare;

When the damn half-time whistle finally blew...

However, the declining San Antonio people are still standing, looking unbelievable...

They don't even know where they lost...

It wasn't until Yao Ming announced a broken bone after the game that the world began to question how he could survive the game.Injured in the fourth quarter, he still went to help defend Parker and Ginobili's wing breakthroughs and pick-and-rolls in overtime.

His sprained foot was cracking as he shot and grabbed rebounds amidst the Spurs' stocky rebounders.

That's a strange choice between Yao Ming and the Rockets: they know better than the outside world how much their strength is different from the championship-level team.

When the hope of the championship is not directly proportional to your hard work, but you are still fighting non-selectively, just like a young man who is chasing a 180-yard sports car on a bicycle...

Yao Ming, 30 years old, has come to an end with the best season of his career.

A double-overtime victory at Tianwangshan at the Toyota Center was enough for him to brace his spine, plus the past year of injuries.

Fighting for a contract?No; fighting for the title?There are Lakers behind, very hanging.

And he and his teammates, as Mutombo promised to "fight for the leavers" after his fall, fought so hard that the Spurs had to slap themselves and put down their bodies in overtime to go around, press, and grind half the court for a player who can't walk easily.

Until the final whistle blew, and fell down.

...

Everyone said it was only a little short, but in Popovich's heart, he was convinced that he lost...

Duncan said: "What we lost was not the game...it was the desire to win...Obviously they were the ones who really stood at the end...respectable opponents!"

In Space City, there are no cowards. After double overtime, shouts of "MVP!" shouted one after another, giving every Houston player who was tired and crawling on the ground the last encouragement...

Come on Houston!Only one step away from the Western Conference Finals!

"I will get up again...maybe go to San Antonio tomorrow, maybe in Los Angeles...wait! Because! This is my obsession!" When Yao Ming said, there were tears of infinite dawn in his eyes...

　I'll be up again...maybe San Antonio tomorrow, maybe in LA...just wait!because!This is my obsession! "When Yao Ming said, there were tears of joy in his eyes...
