hall of fame small forward

Chapter 149
But this matter will develop like this, because Totoro has picked a good opponent. If he dares to do this to Kobe's Lakers, it is estimated that David Stern will not escape if he loves Totoro. Heavy punishment.

But if the target is changed to the Utah Jazz, there will be no big problem. The Jazz has a small market, not many supporters, and the star effect is not good. Not a few, except for Salt Lake City, other team fans are very unhappy to see them, so this time they suffered a loss and not many people spoke for them. The other 28 teams in the United States are waiting to see their jokes.

After a comeback against the Utah Jazz, the Rockets ushered in their second match against the Wizards on the last day of this month, which is also the last game of this year's regular season.

In this game, although the Rockets were absent due to the suspension of many generals, the rest of the Rockets are still preparing to win this game. They have been inexplicably defeated by the underdog Wizards Killed, if today's revenge battle at home is lost again, they will be double-killed by the Wizards this year.

After this game, unless the two teams can enter the finals, they will not see each other again this year. The Rockets will have no chance this year if they want to take revenge. In terms of face, the Rockets definitely can't give the Wizards this game for nothing.

Yao Ming scored 12 points in the first quarter, and also scored 4 assists to help David Lee score 10 points. The two Rockets insiders blasted the Wizards' rookie insiders and won a 5-point lead for the Rockets. .

In the second quarter, Arenas, who had just escaped from the troubles of the lawsuit because of drug trafficking and hidden guns, went crazy and made four consecutive three-pointers to lead the Wizards to overtake. Now talking about the general and agent zero, the current competition The ability is not much better than McGrady who is hanging out on the east coast of the United States now, but some players just see a certain team will be excited. This phenomenon is very magical but not uncommon, just like Ruan Mai. Similarly, Arenas always has a good performance every time he meets the Rockets.

However, the weak inside line is always the disadvantage of the Wizards. If a weak team like the Wizards wants to beat a strong team like the Rockets, in addition to their own explosive growth, the Rockets must also feel sluggish. One of the two cannot be lacking. only then.

And it is very difficult for the Rockets to be in a downturn. Yao Ming's stability has always been there. According to the statistics of good people, Yao will only go out of order once every 25 games on average. The Wizards did not hit such a big player today. Fortunately, Yao Ming scored 21 points at halftime, and continued to lead the Rockets to suppress the Wizards.

In the third quarter, the little giant was always accurate, and Lowry and Brooks, who had not performed much, also began to wake up in this quarter. Coupled with the three punches and two kicks of David Lee and Gasol Jr., Battier suddenly stabbed twice. Dao, the Wizards who came from afar were a little overwhelmed, and the big score entered the final quarter with a big score of 16 points.

At this time, all the fans on the planet thought that the Rockets' game was stable, and even the Wizards' own fans who were watching the TV changed the channel in disappointment. Confidence, but the fact that the Rockets are playing against the Wizards is what really makes the fans feel desperate. After the entire three quarters, the Rockets and the Wizards are not teams at the same level at all. The competitiveness shown by the two is too great. There is a gap. This is the spirit of a strong team brought to the team by the arrival of Totoro. Now the Rockets will not be like before. The first three quarters are [-]-[-] against anyone, and the last fourth quarter is led by a wave. Let's go, they can play on the ground against any weak team they encounter now. Guaranteeing the winning percentage against the weak team is the most basic quality of a strong team.

However, those fans who turned off the TV quickly regretted it, because the Rockets still have another most fatal drawback after the absence of the Totoro in this game, that is, the habitual weakness in the fourth quarter.

The Wizards made repeated shots, but the Rockets seemed to lose their souls. No matter how they attacked, it was either a low-level mistake or a missed shot. The more the Wizards played, the more aggressive the Rockets became. Mann called three timeouts in a row in the fourth quarter, but couldn't restore the Rockets' decline. They were even ahead by the Wizards in one quarter when they were leading by double digits. With a step forward from the midfield line and a super-long-range three-pointer more than 2.5 feet from the basket, he killed the Rockets all at once, and the Wizards completed a 30-point comeback.

After Agent 0 made the shot, all the Wizards players rejoiced, hugging and celebrating wildly as if they had won a million-dollar jackpot, while the Rockets players and all the fans at the Toyota Center were another It was a sight, and even Yao Ming, who has always had a super good temper, turned pale.

This is the first game without Totoro, Randolph and Artest. Although the Rockets have a poor lineup, this is not the reason for their 16-point comeback in the end. If it is really a lineup problem, they It will not lead the opponent by so many points before the start of the fourth quarter.

"Hey, did the Rockets lose?"

Ivy, who was only wearing sexy pajamas, came out of the room. As soon as she saw Totoro with the same livid face and turned off the TV, she guessed what happened.

"Well, I lost."

Totoro nodded noncommittally.

"Then you should be happy. When you're not around, the team's loss will make the fans outside miss you even more. If the Rockets lose three games in a row when you're suspended, won't your position in the Rockets become more important?" Is it unbreakable? Why are you still unhappy?"

The blond sister sat on Totoro's lap curiously, she couldn't believe that Totoro couldn't see such a thing that even she could see at a glance.

My Neighbor Totoro gave him a sideways glance. Of course he could see this simple truth, but he was obviously thinking about something deeper.

"Yes, you are right, but compared to my status in the team, I want to play in the playoffs and have home court advantage. It doesn't hurt if the team loses a game or two during my suspension, but if it is true You said three consecutive losses, so I guess even if I return to the team, it will be difficult to save the morale of the team."
