I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 281 Let become big
The Rockets won.

At the moment when the referee's whistle sounded, the Rockets were silent for a short while, and then burst into wild cheers.

we won!He actually won!
Before this round of the series, the Rockets, whom no one was optimistic about, defeated the mighty Lakers.

You know, in the regular season, the Rockets were swept by their opponents!

Everyone cheered, hugged each other, laughed and sang, and many people shed tears of excitement.

In an interview after the game, the reporters focused on McGrady.

At the last moment, it was because of his consecutive scoring that the Rockets stabilized the victory and defeated their opponents.

"Tracey, congratulations on your victory, and congratulations on your wonderful performance. Do you have anything to say about this victory?"

"This victory was hard-won. We defeated a strong opponent. The reason why we won was because the team was united and we faithfully implemented the coach's tactics. We fought for every ball on the court without a single point. A second of slack. I have a lot of respect for my opponent, but I think we deserved this win!"

"So what about your personal performance? Many people are discussing your wonderful performance, and there is even a saying in the outside world that if you play earlier, maybe the Rockets will play better. Do you agree with this statement?"

"No! When I play is decided by the coaching staff based on the needs of the team, the situation on the court, and my state. Everyone has seen the effect. I am very grateful to the coaching staff and teammates for their support. My support and trust, without them, I could not have entered the game so quickly. Everything I can do on the court is due to their support."

"You were officially named the best player of the game, do you have anything to say?"

"I feel ashamed. Without Yao Ming's inside containment, without Metta World Peace's tough defense, without Dorsey's wonderful performance on both ends of the offense and defense, without Scola, Battier, Brooks, Lowry and other teammates Play hard, we can't win the game, I just did my job and did what I should do. I think the best player in this game should be every Rockets team playing Team member!"

……

McGrady has changed. This is the true feeling of every media person interviewed.

The past McGrady who was "I am the only one in heaven and earth" and everything centered on himself is gone, replaced by a low-key and humble McGrady who is willing to contribute to the team.

What exactly did McGrady go through, and how could there be such earth-shaking changes? !

Mosaic's phone also became a hotline. After the game, he received calls from several NBA team managers.

"Hey Daryl, congratulations to your team on the win. I think we should revisit the McGrady trade..."

The Rockets made it to the Western Conference Finals.

The whole city of Houston rejoiced.On Westheimer Commercial Street, the busiest street in Hugh City, you can see huge advertisements of the new Rockets hanging everywhere.

The slogan "Let become big" hangs in the streets and alleys.

In the past few days, the entire city of Houston is full of red advertisements, posters and ribbons, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere, just like the Chinese New Year.

After the initial excitement, the Rockets quickly forced themselves to calm down.

Because the Western Conference finals are about to start, they have already passed the biggest mountain on the way forward-the Lakers, and they have come to this point, of course they want to continue to climb up, who doesn't want to feel that "they will be the top of the mountain, and everyone will see it at a glance." What about the feeling of "Small Mountain"?
Dayao's MRI results came out.

The bad news was that the soft tissues of the foot were swollen and inflamed, and the fracture seemed to be slightly wider than before.

The good news is that, considering the viciousness of Bynum's stomp, the injury is much better than expected.Moreover, the degree of aggravation of the fracture is very inconspicuous, almost negligible.

Whether he can continue to play depends entirely on Yao Ming's own decision.

Yao Ming's attitude is very firm: fight, of course you have to fight!

When you get here, you have to fight!

Even if it takes a while to recuperate next season, it will be worth it.

Of course, these are the thoughts of Dayao and the Rockets.Only Dorsey knew that Dayao's injury was hard to heal.

Now is the last bloom before the fireworks go out.And what I can do is to help Dayao, making this dazzling moment even more dazzling.

After the series between the Rockets and the Lakers, all the contests in the second round of the playoffs are over:
In another Western Conference matchup, the Denver Nuggets eliminated the Dallas Mavericks with a total score of 4:1.

And in the east.

Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers made great strides and swept the Atlanta Hawks 4:0.

The Magic also experienced a "tie-break" battle, beating the Boston Celtics 4:3.

The bookmaker also updated the handicap for winning the championship.

The lowest odds are the Cavaliers, 1 to 2.5
The second place is the Magic, 1 to 3.25
The third place is the Rockets, and the odds are not much different from the Magic, 1 to 3.75
The Nuggets are in the last place, 1 to 4.5
From the odds point of view, the bookmaker is optimistic about the Eastern team to win the championship.Although only one of the Magic and Cavaliers can enter the finals.But in the eyes of experts, no matter who enters the finals, the possibility of winning is higher than that of the western team.

As for the Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and the Nuggets, it seems that the Rockets are more likely to advance.

However, soon the gaming company adjusted the odds urgently, and the Rockets fell to the last place, and the odds were also adjusted to 1 to 6.25.

The reason is that a professional basketball media disclosed Yao Ming's injury, pointing out that Yao Ming insisted on fighting with injuries despite a fractured bone.

And Bynum's kick aggravated Yao Ming's bone fracture, and he is likely to miss the next game.

Without Yao Ming, the Rockets' inside pillar collapsed.Even if they can get away with the Nuggets, it is impossible to win the Eastern Conference powerhouse in the finals.

Three days after the "Tie-break" war ended, the Western Conference finals started on the plateau in Denver.

Home Team Nuggets Lineup: PG Billups SG JR Smith SF Carmelo Anthony PF Kenyon Martin C Nene
Visiting team Rockets lineup: PG McGrady SG Metta World Peace SF Battier PF Scola C Dorsey
The Rockets did not let Yao Ming play, not only because of injuries, but also because the plateau in Denver consumes a lot of Yao Ming. Out of the consideration of protecting Yao Ming, this game let Yao stay on the sidelines.

But such an arrangement is not necessarily a good choice.

Denver's plateau environment is tantamount to torture for a player of Dayao's height and weight. His physical energy is consumed extremely quickly, and his physical energy may be exhausted after a few back and forth runs.

Although Dayao's ability is strong, he has always played mediocre in the highland arena. Let Dorsey, who has better physical fitness, play, and may receive better results.
