Chapter 210 (two hundred and nine) March Madness

战胜太阳不仅仅终结了对手的6连胜，也使得火箭在二月的战绩达到了11胜2负，超过了8-2的太阳。这场二月份的收官之战最终帮助姚明力压纳什和马里昂当选为了2月的西部最佳球员。

With only the last two months left in the regular season, the Rockets have a record of 2 wins and 50 losses, becoming the first team in the league to break through 7 wins.During the same period, the Lakers also achieved an impressive record of 50 wins and 47 losses, maintaining pressure on the Rockets.This result is enough to make the Los Angeles media crazy. You must know that the Lakers in 10, which started the Lakers dynasty, only achieved 00 wins and 46 losses at this time. This is the best record of the Lakers dynasty in three years.

But then, fans all over the world witnessed a more crazy and terrifying Rockets.When Iverson scored 40+7+10 quasi-triple-doubles and still lost 5 points to Houston, and when Anthony scored 34 points but watched the point difference gradually widened to double digits by the Rockets, ESPN took the lead in publishing an article. They summarized the championship teams that finally made it to the top in the second half of league history. After commenting: "Many championship teams have achieved a qualitative leap in the second half through the first half of running-in. Certainly many fans will say that the Rockets won 24 consecutive victories in the first half. How to make a leap? But they dare not say that the Rockets will not become more terrifying. Don’t forget how fast their rookie has grown this season, and the MVP-level Tracy McGrady will return. The most important point is that the Rockets have won 6 consecutive victories without a single defeat after the All-Star.”

On March 3, the Rockets beat the underdog Trail Blazers by 5 points, which was completely expected by the fans.But then they beat the Timberwolves and Pacers in back-to-back games, and now more and more media couldn't sit still.

FOX Sports simply described the Rockets with the gimmick title of "The Best Team in History", and their point of view was too clear to refute: "The Bulls proved that they could not win the championship without Jordan; the Lakers of the OK combination failed to lead the regular season many times, precisely because of O'Neal's health and attendance problems; the Spurs in 00 lacked Duncan, so they could only be in the first round. History has proved countless times that a championship team will be destroyed immediately if it loses its star. Yes. Before May 5 last year, McGrady was considered to be the top three superstars in the league and the leader of the Rockets. But then the Rockets lost him and won the championship, achieved 26 consecutive victories, and are now leading the league. Isn’t this the most powerful background in history?”

Then the Rockets ushered in another wave of devil's schedule.They will play two back-to-back games in the next 10 days. Their opponents include the Spurs and the Mavericks in two games, as well as the Nets and Clippers in the playoffs.

The Spurs have declined due to Bowen's suspension.But they picked up the Mavericks in the summer and were replaced by the young Finley, but Finley is good at holding the ball. If he really only needs to run without the ball and make three-pointers from the corner, he may not be able to catch up with Bowen, and his defense is even worse.He fell short in this game, making only 8 of 2 three-pointers from the outside line.Bosh is no longer the rookie who was casually ravaged by Duncan back then, but it is still normal for Yao Ming to ravage the Spurs center.The Spurs switched to Muhammad, Nesterovic and Oberto to defend Yao Ming, but the wheel battle also had little effect.Yao Ming scored 25+10+3 and also sent 3 big caps.Although Duncan also contributed 20+10+4, he also made 5 turnovers, including a fatal mistake in the last 24 seconds of the game.

At the last moment, the two teams tied at 88, and Duncan was intercepted by Jefferson and lost the key possession of the ball.Bosh hit the iron with a three-pointer, but Billups desperately rushed to grab the offensive rebound, and passed it to the outside. Reed still missed a three-pointer.Bosh, who returned to the inside this time, grabbed the rebound again and handed it over to Jefferson for a shot!The ball goes into the basket and the end-of-game bell rings.

The Rockets narrowly beat their opponents 91:88 relying on their advantage inside.The power of the Yaobo Twin Pagodas can no longer hold back even the Stone Buddha.

3月13日背靠背战篮网，又是联盟顶尖后卫的一场对抗。基德得到了11+10+10的简约三双，比卢普斯则贡献了17+6+9。两位明星控卫难分伯仲。可内线的差距就大了。柯林斯和科斯蒂奇的组合根本无法应对姚波，姚明轻松砍下36分帮助球队12分胜出。

After a day off, Yao Ming scored 36+12 to lead the team to a 16-point victory over the Mavericks.The next day, ESPN wrote an article analyzing the Rockets’ point difference. The article pointed out: “So far, the Rockets’ average point difference per game is as high as 9.6 points, which is not far from the 12.4 points of the Bulls in history. If it is converted into a more accurate point difference per 10.2 rounds, the Rockets can have a point difference of 6 points per 10 rounds. The Bucks, they have a net win of 5 points per 71 rounds. They were eliminated by the Lakers who had a net win of 72 points per 10.0 rounds in the same year. That is to say, a historic team can only be defeated by a historic opponent. Now the Rockets may have reached this level.”

大概是这次吹嘘过度败了人品，火箭马上就在主场折戟。3月18日他们5分不敌马刺结束了12连胜。姚明却依然保持了火热的状态，砍下了30+10。

Yao Ming's continuous outbursts naturally also received a lot of praise from the media.Although Kobe was listed as the first candidate for the regular season MVP, many media pointed out that Yao Ming also has the qualifications for MVP.And Kobe was in a hot state at the beginning of the month, scoring 40+ points in a row to help the team defeat strong opponents such as the Pistons and Spurs, but gradually slumped in the middle of the month, causing the Lakers to lose to the underdog Supersonics.On the day when the media spoke out in support of Yao Ming, Kobe hit the iron again like crazy, causing the team to lose to the Cavaliers by 1 point.

The next opponents could no longer stop the Rockets from advancing. They sank the Clippers, slaughtered the Mavericks, shot down the Hornets, and knocked down the Cavaliers to harvest their opponents.Not to mention the two opponents at the end of the month, the Sonics and the Wizards, they only brought 35 points and 14 points to the Rockets.They ended March Madness with a wave of 6 consecutive victories, with a record of 3-14 throughout the month.Yao Ming won the best player of the month without any suspense.In the eyes of many people, this season's MVP competition is already a two-person game between Yao and Ke.

　　Thank you readers for your understanding and support.

　　Writing this topic involves too much information, it is really thankless.I will change to a different style in the next book, and it is estimated that there will be no difficulty if there are more.
