I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 271 Use Zhenghe to Win by Surprise

The Rockets lost two games in a row, and the total score became 1:2.

The situation is a little delicate.

If the next home game can be fought, there may be a chance to comeback, but if they lose again, they will basically be sentenced to death.

The good news is that McGrady has been reused again, and his teammates have given up their prejudice against him and given him trust and support again.

The bad news is Dayao's injury, whether he can play is still unknown.

But on the second day after the third game, Dayao appeared on the training ground.

His knees, ankles and insteps were tightly fixed with bandages. The layers of bandages were shocking to watch. Before training, the bandages alone kept team doctor Keith Jones busy for more than half an hour. .

Injuries will undoubtedly affect Dayao, but as long as Dayao can stand on the court, the Rockets will have a backbone.

Will, faith and spirit are probably more important than skills and tactics for a team participating in the playoffs.

Dayao returned to the court, walking with a slight limp, the first thing he did was to walk up to McGrady.

"Welcome back to the court, Tracy!" Dayao said.

As he spoke, he stretched out his big hand.

Although McGrady has returned long ago, until now, in everyone's hearts, he has not really returned.

McGrady smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and held Dayao tightly.

"Welcome back to the court too, Yao!"

Although the Rockets were injured and sick, they finally assembled the strongest lineup.

The news of Yao Ming's announcement of FireWire's comeback also rekindled the confidence of the outside world.

Before the game, the bookmaker's handicap was that the Lakers only allowed 1 point!
This is a very abnormal handicap, because although Yao Ming of the Rockets has come back, he cannot confirm his status, or even know whether he is really fully recovered (the news of the bone fracture has not been announced to the public for the time being), and the other "core" in the dual core ——McGrady has been out of battle for a long time, and judging from the situation in the last game, his condition is not good.

It is said that the Big Three have been gathered together, but the only one who can really fight is Ci Shiping, who is the "least able to fight" among the three.

Moreover, the Lakers won two games in a row, and the last game was a big victory by 19 points.No matter how you look at it, in this game, the Lakers should have another big victory.

Such a handicap does not mean that it is possible to "fix the match", but that the experienced experts and actuaries of the gaming company have captured the key information.

The Rockets, who are under attack, fight to the death and are determined to win. Amid the cheers and cheers of the home fans, they will surely show their strongest combat effectiveness.

But the aristocratic temperament of the Lakers made them lack the courage to fight the bayonet.It is true that in the second and third games of the series, the Lakers played very fiercely and toughly, but the elegant and gorgeous purple and gold team rarely played three consecutive games with all their strength this season, just like the postseason. In the first round of the game, when they played against the Jazz, they also played tight for two games first, and then lost their strength in the third game. As a result, they only scored 86 points in Salt Lake City, and they were moved back by the Jazz. After two tight games, they scored 4. :1 eliminated the opponent.Two tight games and one loose game has become the habit and normality of the Lakers.

The bookmaker, which has far more information than ordinary fans, is able to predict the game attitude and preparation of the two teams accurately.

The crucial fourth game started again at the Toyota Center.

The Rockets fielded the same starting lineup as in Game [-].

PG Brooks, SG Dorsey, SF Metta World Peace, PF Scola, C Yao Ming
Tracy McGrady is sitting on the bench, but this time he is not at the end of the bench, but very close to Adelman's position, apparently to use him as a sixth man.

After the start of the game, as predicted by the gaming company, the Rockets once again showed a brave, tenacious, and indomitable momentum.

The Lakers are like a graceful old nobleman, dull and slow.The gorgeous style of play and the talent of the lineup conceal the weakness of will.They seem to really feel that their opponents should disarm and surrender, and they are very uncomfortable with the changes in the hardness, intensity, and style of play displayed by their opponents.

In fact, it is not right to say that the Lakers are completely unprepared.They were still prepared, but their preparations went astray!
When the Lakers heard that Yao Ming was coming back, they tried to strengthen the defense inside. Bynum, Gasol, and Odom, three tower-like men, surrounded Dayao and defended the inside. Strictly tight, watertight.

As a result, the Rockets didn't even think about going inside. Dorsey, Metta World Peace, and Brooks all rushed the ball, or shot from the outside. The ball basically didn't go to Yao Ming's hands very much.

Mayfair Jackson on the sidelines was full of question marks, how did the Rockets change their nature, playing the outside line instead of the inside giant Yao Ming.The beating is so unreasonable, does anyone care?You don't care about Adelman, are you going to give up the game?
The Lakers suffered from poor information.They didn't know that Dayao's feet were broken, and the Rockets players were taking the initiative to share the responsibility for him and relieve the pressure!

Although Yao Ming was on the court, he played the interference role of false targets. The real offensive threat came from the outside.

The impact of the Rockets is amazing, especially Dorsey, who has returned to the position of shooting guard, has the ball in his hands, uses his physical advantage, and rushes to the basket frantically. His style of play is unreasonable.

Even for Kobe, facing such an unreasonable style of play, he still has a headache. His defensive specialty lies in speed and technique. He can't resist Dorsey simply by competing with brute force.

Dorsey didn't care whether it was good or not, he turned around in various ways, one came from the left and the other came from the right, Kobe couldn't stand it.

In fact, for this style of play, Ci Shiping is the best defender, but he and Dorsey are teammates.In the Lakers formation, Ariza and Odom are more suitable than Kobe to defend against this style of play, but Kobe doesn't nod, and no one dares to steal the boss's limelight.

Kobe is such a person who is so easy to admit defeat. If he fails to defend once, he will defend the second time, and if he fails the second time, he will defend the third time...

This kind of persistence allowed Kobe to defeat countless powerful opponents and stand at the top; but this persistence sometimes seems a bit inappropriately "willful".

In addition to starting the Five Tigers, McGrady is also an X factor that can change the game.

Although he came off the bench, his playing time was not short.When he played, Dorsey's panacea attributes were fully displayed.McGrady played shooting guard, and Dorsey replaced other players. Sometimes he played power forward for Scola, sometimes he played small forward for Metta World Peace, but more often, he played substitute for Yao Ming.

McGrady's appearance made Dorsey's panacea effect to the extreme!
This trick caught Mayfair Jackson in a daze: Isn't old A Yongbing always stubborn and conservative?How to use Dorsey so boldly!In one game, he actually played four different positions!This...is there still a king's law?
Throughout the game, the Lakers were in a daze, with Dayao but they didn’t play inside; Tracy McGrady was mediocre, but the Rockets players still trusted him and passed him the ball; Go play that position...

In terms of military tactics, the emphasis is on "cohesion and victory by surprise". The Rockets completely disrupted the deployment of the Lakers by relying on continuous "surprise attacks" with strange moves. The home team won the opponent and defeated the Lakers 99:87.

The total score was tied at 2:2!
The loss of the Lakers also annoyed their fans.Magic Johnson publicly scolded "This is a disgrace to Los Angeles" on the show!
The joy and excitement of the victory was only on the night of the game. On the second day, when the soldiers marched to Los Angeles, everyone had already calmed down.

Because everyone knows that the most difficult time is coming!
