I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 284 Advance to the Finals

After finishing the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the two teams flew non-stop from the Denver plateau to Houston to start the third game of the series.

Houston fans haven't watched the Western Conference Finals live for a long time, and they are very enthusiastic. For a while, the Rockets' tickets to Luoyang are expensive, and tickets are hard to find!
The Toyota Center was packed to the brim, and the loud noises made by the audience seemed to knock down the roof.

Before the game, the Rockets announced the good news that Yao Ming, the inside core of the game, is back.

The appearance of Yao Ming not only gave the Rockets a pillar inside, but also mobilized the whole body, giving the Rockets a whole new look.

Dorsey has returned to his best shooting guard position, as the team's main attack point, where he can play a greater role.

Ci Shiping came to the small forward position and was responsible for marking Anthony.Compared with Battier's overall defense, Metta Shiping's bulldog-like one-on-one defense made Anthony even more uncomfortable.

Returning to the home court, the Rockets played proactively and fully demonstrated the temperament of a strong team.

On defense, he is still iron-blooded and strong; on offense, he is smooth and smooth.

From the beginning of the game, the Rockets were in the lead.

Yao Ming's inside turn and layup, Dorsey's heavy dunk after a breakthrough, McGrady's outside shot, Metta World Peace's defense and three-pointers all made the Nuggets overwhelmed and exhausted.

In the end, the score was locked at 87:113, and the Rockets won by 26 points!
In this battle, the level and state of the two teams will be judged.

The fourth game is still in Houston.

The Rockets pursued the victory and continued their outstanding performance in the previous game.

Again with a score of 101:107, won the opponent.

With all two home games won, the trend of this round of the series is basically clear.

In the fifth game, the two teams returned to the Pepsi Center in Denver.

The Nuggets were unwilling to let it go, and wanted to take advantage of the home court to struggle outside.

However, the current morale of the army is on the side of the Rockets, and it is not easy to make a comeback.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams played very anxiously and took the lead alternately.

At 7 minutes and 50 seconds of the first quarter, Anthony hit a three-pointer, extending the score to 15:19.

At 11 minutes and 32 years in the first quarter, Dorsey broke into a one-handed dunk, turning the score into 24:23.

At 6 minutes and 16 seconds of the second quarter, Yao Ming made a hook and the score was 35:31.

At 9 minutes and 29 seconds of the second quarter, Billups hit the basket hard, resisted McGrady, and made a layup, 44:47.

By the end of the first half, the score was 51:51, and the game was tied.

In the second half, the two teams were even more inseparable.

It's just that it's different from the mutual scoring in the first half. In the second half, the two sides competed on defense.

Both teams are strictly guarding against death, not allowing opponents to score easily.

At 3 minutes and 3 seconds of the third quarter, McGrady broke through with the ball and was intercepted by Billups.

At 5 minutes and 18 seconds of the third quarter, Martin received the ball inside, passed Scola for a layup, and was blocked by Yao Ming.

At 8 minutes and 17 seconds of the third quarter, Ci Shiping's shot was interfered by Anthony.

At 11 minutes and 46 seconds of the third quarter, Anthony broke through and was flanked by Dorsey and Ci Shiping. He made a dribble error and lost the ball.

Both teams were defended against ultra-low scores by the opponent. After 68:69 in the third quarter, the Rockets led by 1 point.

In the fourth quarter, which decided the fate of the two teams, the fight became even more intense.

Almost every attack and defense has to go through fierce competition, and every ball has to be fought fiercely.

At 11 seconds into the fourth quarter, Brooks hit a jumper.

In 31 seconds, Anthony dribbled the ball into the paint, avoiding Yao Ming's block and layup.

In 45 seconds, Dorsey broke through and scored the ball, Ci Shiping hit the iron, Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound, and made a second tip-up.

In 55 seconds, Billups scored a layup.

At 1 minute and 12 seconds, Dorsey made a shot, Nene grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break. Martin made a fast break and dunked.

1 minute 27 seconds, Scola hit a layup.

……

The two teams worked hard, you scored and I scored, and I didn't make a shot, and I couldn't let you score.

The score was extremely tight, and no one was able to extend the lead to more than 5 points.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and before we knew it, the game reached the final moment.

The score was 94:95, and only the last 8 seconds remained.

The Rockets McGrady holds the ball and looks like he is about to execute the last attack.

Could it be Maddie?The whole world is a little surprised!His current breakthrough is far less sharp than it was back then.

Yao Ming pulled out suddenly, McGrady passed the ball to Yao Ming.

It really is Yao Ming!Although Yao Ming is an insider and still has injuries, he is the core of the team after all. It seems reasonable for him to attack.

The Nuggets were very focused and immediately double-teamed Yao Ming.

After McGrady passed the ball, he didn't stop, and suddenly rushed to the basket.

Billups clung to McGrady's side to prevent him from running out of space.

Before the Nuggets finished pinching Yao Ming, Dayao passed the ball to McGrady.

Is the Rockets trying to complete the final blow through an air cut? !

But Billups did not lose his position, and at the same time, JR Smith also moved over to pinch.

Time is running out, McGrady seems to have to vote.

McGrady made a shot, but it was not a shot, but a pass, and the ball passed to Dorsey on the outside.

Yes, Dorsey is on the outside!
This is why JR Smith dared to short Dorsey and came to help defend McGrady.

If there is any weakness for Dorsey, it may be the three-pointer!

When he first entered the league, Dorsey had almost no long-range shots at all. Later, as his position changed, he began to try some long-range shots, but overall, he was not too accurate.

Although his three-point shooting percentage began to rise as the number of games increased, but in such a critical game, did the Rockets dare to bet on his three-pointers?
In fact, the original tactic was that Dorsey caught the ball in the middle distance to complete the lore, but during the execution of the tactic, an accident occurred. JR kept a close eye on the middle distance and prevented Dorsey from catching the ball.Only after moving beyond the three-point line, did the chance to open the ball appear.

But in this position, can Dorsey make it?

Between the lightning and the flint, there was no room for hesitation, and Dorsey jumped high and shot.

Dorsey was unusually calm at this moment, the hustle and bustle around him seemed to disappear, everything around him seemed to fade away, and only himself and the basket remained between the sky and the earth.

"The trick to shooting is not to keep your eyes on the basket, but to have the basket in your heart. At the moment of shooting, you have to believe that the ball will definitely go in. Only when you firmly believe that you can go in, will the ball fly into the basket!"

Mr. Wang Weide's words echoed in Dorsey's heart.

This ball must be scored!
The ball is out, it's game time.

Everyone's eyes are closely following the trajectory of the ball.

The ball drew a wonderful parabola and passed through the middle of the basket precisely!

The ball is in!
Lore!

97: 95!

The Rockets won!
The total score is 4:1.

The Rockets advanced to the finals with their heads held high!
