Chapter 352 Angels and Demons in Space City: Demon Chapter!
"?" It was the first time I saw James looking bored facing the media and reporters...

Because when the certainty has become a reality, he has answered this kind of question no less than a thousand times...

"I-don't-care~" He shrugged: "It doesn't matter who becomes our last opponent... You know, I don't care about these at all... These issues should be left to them to think about..."

…Different from the Eastern Conference Finals where Garnett was absent and suspense was drawn early, the Western Conference Finals against Tianwangshan, before the match, Yin Zhanhuang’s provocative words cast a layer of thick haze on the Tianwangshan battle in G5...

The strengths of the two sides may be equal—newcomers and veterans, challenging the superstars who are about to end their careers, 2-2 each trying to keep the home court without losing, which may indirectly prove that this series is extremely difficult...

It's just that when you finally eliminate an opponent who is not as good as you, in the not-too-distant future, there will be even more terrifying enemies waiting for work, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight...

In other words, the Miami people have had a rest for nearly a week, watching and observing your weaknesses from the sidelines, not to mention that they have almost the most worthy superstars in the league, and not one, two... There are three golden generations who have high MVP calls last season...

"...Let's not think about what other people said, but what we are going to do..." Nuo Tianwang said in an interview with media reporters before the game: "I would rather think about how to defeat my current opponent today... rather than half-heartedly thinking about some things that are not yet marginal... This is a taboo in the professional arena..."

Nuo Tianwang's words are clearly slapping James in the face again... In 08, the whole world was calling for the 23 vs. 24 battle of the century, but the Cavaliers unexpectedly lost to the Magic, which made the scene that many fans expected to appear come to naught...

It's just that when you see King Nuotian's clenched fists after turning around, you can't help thinking of his mood at the moment...

The same thing happened to Yao Ming...

As we all know, the Heat's most famous insider, and reporters all over the United States will remind Yao Ming of "this point" thousands of times...

"...Hey! Everyone is saying, you guys are more likely than the Mavericks to beat Miami in the finals...because you have the top inside strength in the league...what do you think of this?"

"I don't think so..." Yao Ming shrugged: "...James, Wade, and Bosh are all respectable opponents, but I think the Mavericks are stronger than them... What I think about now is how to win Tianwangshan and return to Houston with the match point...That's all..."

The two humble team's signature emperors, their unpretentious rhetoric, and their dedication to the game are indeed admirable, but the official tone accounts for a large part of the situation, and they have not responded to James from the rhetoric...

If it is given to others-Howard, or Kobe, that is another story...

"I'll smash his ass! Yes, tell him to wait until I kill my opponent and kick his ass!"

...

"...Ahh~~Okay, okay...what do you want to see? You will see...I will use my actions to shut him up..."

...

In the G5 Tianwangshan match, the pressure on the home team was obviously greater than that of the away team...

In history, G5 is often overturned, and then with the shadow of defeat, it is cleaned up 4:2 at the visiting team's home court. On the contrary, if the Rockets lose the battle of Tianwangshan, they still have time to make adjustments and drag the series into the tiebreaker at home...

But it seems the Houstonians aren't going to do that...

As soon as G5 started, the Rockets led by Yao Ming started. Paul George, Milos Teodosic, Tracy McGrady and Cousins ​​took the lead...

From the outside to the inside, and then from the inside to the outside, passing the ball, breaking points, all in one go, the rhythm is controlled smoothly and smoothly, neither rush nor slow, in the inside attack of the positional battle, and the three-point point of the outside shot, the Dallas Cowboys came up and touched their noses...

Perhaps the persistence of the veterans has subsided for a while in the first few games. From the beginning of this game, the rookies really took up the banner of attacking...

DeMarcus Cousins ​​was the first to bear the brunt. In the middle of the first quarter, he had an acrobatic cross-over... and because of his huge size and size, his range of motion was extremely exaggerated. Even though he got a big hat from Chandler in the end, he was still praised by TNT's commentators...

Yao Ming turned over and missed a jumper, and Cousins ​​beat Dirk to make a tip-up!
Although he was called for an offensive foul, his strong performance these few times has amazed many people...

"Big Cousin" is a more traditional big man, but his temper is not as good as his reserved, slightly reserved temperament of his cousin. From time to time, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of spectators, after the referee whistles, he will run wild and "run naked"...

The backcourt took off the rebound, he went straight to the frontcourt, and the Serb sprinted forward. Kidd couldn't hold it back, but he missed a layup at the end, and then staged a scene of silence in the Dallas Arena...

First he took off the rebound in the backcourt, then seemed unhappy, but kept up with the rhythm of the fast break again, powerfully took off the offensive rebound directly behind Kidd, who was stuck in the pile, and then in the reasonable collision zone, a piledriver-style dunk that flew the poor old Kidd...

With a bang, Shaquille O'Neill, the spokesperson of violent aesthetics, jumped up from the bench in secret joy, throwing the towel madly, and he himself roared angrily, sweeping away the previous unhappiness...

For his age, he's definitely a bouncy guy, even thicker than most NBA bigs.

Cousins' forte is of course rebounding, which is almost a golden partner tailor-made for Yao Ming. In the NBA, this has always been synonymous with "quite reliable".Cousins' rebounding numbers are so impressive, he's the only rookie in this decade to match Duncan's offensive rebounding rate in 98 during his freshman career...

In addition to being 2 or 3 years younger than many of his competitors, Cousins' physical fitness is so good that it's hard to tell whether he has any technical content when he rebounds.On the other hand, of course, Cousins' prowess on the boards is only marginally ahead of his offensive prowess.

His keen basketball instincts allow him to flex his strength, length and speed on the court at will.

He was actually faster than George in the fast break switch just now. It's hard to imagine that this is something a 208, 280-pound giant can do...

He followed that up with another turnaround jumper that silenced the scene again...

Even Barkley, the most flexible fat man in the history of TNT, was full of praise for the scene just now: "Cousins ​​has an eye-catching and fast first step when he hits back hard, and maintains a soft touch near the penalty area. He is very comfortable in the low post and waist position, which is directly proportional to the quality of his ball on the court. He has a smooth shooting movement and uses it efficiently in two areas...I think one day in the future, this guy will replace O'Neal, and even replace it together Yao Ming, become a super center with dual characteristics of 'violence' and 'technology'!"

The one who was more anxious than the roaring Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was head coach Carlisle. He immediately waved his hand and used Caron Butler to replace Peja, who had almost negative defense ability.

Perhaps this scene did not attract everyone's attention, but after a while, the super-violent "Superman Giant" in this game will soon return to his embarrassing Time, "Big Cousin" tweaking moment...

help defend...

Endless rotation of positions...

Every ball handler faces at least two Mavericks players...

Because the Rockets have Yao Ming on the court, Cousins ​​has two big insiders, and he can't lead outside the three-point line...

Therefore, when Cousins ​​took the ball again, either Butler came to greet him, or the hand of God of the 'Strange Thief' Kidd inadvertently snatched the ball away...

Cousins ​​was at a loss. Several of his brain-dead inside shots made Lao Yao bend his waist and make a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, but he couldn't get back the wrong ball...

Doesn't have an empty shot, and when he sometimes prepares for a bully step and a half-hook, he seems indecisive...

Yes, he has skills, but the movements before the skills are a bit rough and rough. In the eyes of the referee, that is the barbarism of greeting people...

At this time, he needs to slow down a little.When his offensive rhythm was disrupted in high-intensity defensive areas, he became impatient, gave up too easily, and then degenerated from a 6-foot-11, 275-pound monster to an easy-to-defend small 6-foot-8, 225-pound turnover machine.

Furthermore, he doesn't have a strong ability to protect the ball when he feels a help defender is double-teaming from the perimeter.

At the same time, the recklessness and brute force when grabbing offensive rebounds have not been integrated into the offense. Facing Chandler's pressing every step of the way and chasing inside and outside, he can easily send the ball to the opponent's hands in various ways...

Or, offensive fouls...

Are you familiar?
Ron exclaimed: "Damn! Isn't this the fucking Sakuragi Flower Road in "Slam Dunk"!"

Indeed, the three fouls in the first quarter were replaced by James Harden...

"...MB's!" When Cousins ​​stepped off the field, his face was depressed...

"When faced with a strong physical interception by the opposing defender, Cousins ​​tends to shrink back. Of course, for a young big man, this is not surprising." Ron said to Bright next to him, "And what he lacks now is O'Neal's domineering arrogance when he fought inside at his peak! Looking down on the world, no one else! This is a kind of kingly spirit that dominates the world..."

Ron fell into deep thought again, and he thought deeply in his heart: "...There may be two people in Houston who still have this kind of 'kingdom'... He saw it from McGrady in 35 seconds and 13 minutes back then, and he also saw it from Yao Ming in the Western Conference semifinals last year..."

There was a turmoil on the court for a while, and without Cousins' powerful rebounds, the Dallas people started a wave of crazy counterattacks...

Under the leadership of the old Kidd, everyone began to grit their teeth and rush for rebounds...

The Rockets were quickly overwhelmed by the momentum, and the Dallas people also ended the first quarter with a wave of 12:4 attacks...

Of course, if there is "Sakuragi Flower Road", there must be a corresponding "Rukawa Maple", Houston's angels and demons...

When the demons are out and the angels start taking over the game...

　With a bang, Shaquille O'Neill, the spokesperson of violent aesthetics, jumped up from the bench in secret joy, throwing the towel madly, and he himself roared angrily, sweeping away the previous unhappiness...
