Chapter 263 Something Missing

However, the members of the Rockets didn't guess what their boss was thinking, but they can't blame them. Who would have thought that Totoro actually wanted fmvp? They all thought that Totoro was fighting for the championship. With the championship in hand, isn't the priority goal all for the championship?Who would have thought that Totoro's ambitions would be so great.

But the other teammates said so, and Totoro couldn't say it brazenly, so he had to be carried on a stretcher by several teammates and team doctors like a seriously injured person and transported back to the locker room, where he received further treatment.

Big Van Gundy couldn't help showing a smile on his fat face, and Howard, a dry Magic player, showed his desire for victory.

Although what they did was shameful, everything was accidental, and the fans couldn't judge whether they did it on purpose. Chinchilla didn't stand firm, so you can't blame me for all the mistakes, right?

"Hold the grass! Did you guys in Orlando rely on such useless players to win the championship?"

"Is the Magic a football team, a basketball team or a football team?"

"No, I think it should be the Orlando Martial Arts Team."

Totoro’s end, book fans all over the world exploded. There are overwhelming comments on the Internet criticizing the Magic. Various jokes emerge in endlessly, most of which are Rockets fans and Celtics. Die-hard fans, The Rockets fans complained because the Magic hurt Totoro, and the Celtics fans hated the Magic even more. It should be them who are fighting on the field now, rather than being rubbed on the ground by the Rockets without any regrets. Powerless magic!They simply went to the finals to give their opponents the championship. Instead of doing this, they might as well let the Celtics win by themselves. They are really a bunch of idiots who occupy the latrines and don't play!

However, no matter how loud the criticism from outside fans is, it will not affect the progress of the game. Just now when Totoro fell to the ground, the Rockets players rushed to commit a foul. Now it is the Magic's possession of the ball.

Howard served to Turkoglu from the sideline, and the Turkish agent pushed in a little bit and then stopped Iguodala, who was close to him. He easily hit two points with a mid-range shot.

After the Turk scored a goal, he was a little dazed. He looked at his hands in disbelief. In fact, this is the routine operation of Turkoglu, who is at his peak this year, but after two nightmarish away games, He kind of forgot how he was supposed to play.

The Turk actually has his own physical advantage. He has the height and weight of the No. [-] position, but has the movement of the No. [-] position, the three-pointer and mid-range shooting accuracy of the No. [-] position, and the passing vision of the No. [-] position. Coglu can actually contribute more to the Magic on the court, but only if he has enough self-confidence.

Totoro spared no effort to defend the Turkish agents in the first two games. Compared with the opponent, Totoro is more like Turkoglu who has strengthened by three or four levels. Totoro’s physical fitness is stronger, the movement speed is faster, and the shooting is more accurate. , and one more juggling dribble than the opponent. Without the help of other teammates, Turkoglu would be suppressed by Totoro even if he took the top of the head. Like himself, he has absolutely no ability to fight back.

But now that Totoro is gone, the Turks suddenly feel relieved, and they can no longer feel the stalking defense, and they don't have to endure the opponent's offensive rhythm like a storm that makes them unable to breathe, Teko Gru felt that his distant self seemed to be back?

The Rockets' offense was not bad either. Yao Ming turned around and hit a jumper in front of Howard. Warcraft really can't defend against the little giant alone. Yao's height and tonnage make Howard's jumping advantage disappear, unless Howard is willing to put down his body to go around the front , but as long as he still cares about the false name of the league's number one center, he will never do it.

Because Yao Ming never went forward when defending against him, wouldn't it be like proving to others that he was a head shorter than Yao Ming by turning around Yao Ming at this time?
However, Turkoglu seems to have been resurrected. The offensive end once again used the rhythm and tonnage to break through to the middle. Dayao stepped forward to block, and the Turk immediately raised his hand. In the next second, Howard hung up on the Rockets. over the basket.

The Rockets have Yao Ming as an unfavorable point, and the Magic has the revived Turkoglu and Howard's dual-core leadership of one inside and one outside. The two teams suddenly fell into an anxious battle.

Before the end of halftime, the first brother suddenly didn't know which nerve was wrong, and hit all four shots in a row, including a lucky three-pointer, which allowed the Rockets to enter the midfield with a slight lead of 4 points. Rest, you must know that before this, the Rockets were still 3 points behind the Magic. This is probably something that all fans did not expect before the game.

Dual-core has always been the most suitable championship configuration before the emergence of the Big Three, but these have changed since the emergence of Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce roaring Boston and James, Wade and Bosh, as if the team is a team. As in the era of giants, it seems that the more giants in a team, the better. In fact, this fundamentally contradicts the development theory of a healthy team.

The limit in a team is dual-core, a superstar paired with a superstar, and then assisting several quasi-All-Star players and bench gangsters with their own specialties, this is the most reasonable standard configuration for the team, whether it is the Bulls Dynasty, the Lakers Dynasty, Both the Celtic dynasty and the Spurs dynasty have such a model.

But once the giants of a team get together and the ball is in chaos, there will definitely be troubles. Some people have to sacrifice themselves in terms of statistics, and some people have to do things that are not suitable for them for the team. But in this way, He can't be regarded as a giant, his contract is at a premium, and it's not that he can't play as an All-Star, but the interests and victories of the team have suppressed his talent, and there is only one basketball player on the court.

To give a few simple examples, Bosh is the Dragon King in the Raptors, and Garnett is second in the power forward position. Although he is not as tough as the Wolf King, his mid-range shot is more stable than the Wolf King, but after the Heat, Who still thinks he is as good as the Bosh of the Raptors?

It's not that Bosh's ability has declined, but that in the Heat's system, he can't play 100% of his strength. Originally known for his dexterity, Bosh, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, and makes a living by assisting defense, needs a hard top in the Heat. The opponent's blue-collar big center, this style of play and positioning was not his style, but Bosh had to change, but after the change, is he still the original All-Star Dragon King?
In the end, super giants like the God of Basketball, Bird, Magician, and Lord of the Rings will never form a group. It is the top ten unshakable on the Hall of Fame list, because they will only let others voluntarily join their team, instead of going to others if they can't beat themselves. He is qualified to disdain everyone in history.

The configuration of the Magic team this year is very balanced. With one inside and one outside, relying on Howard and Turkoglu as the core, coupled with the supporting qualified players, they have made a lot of difference, but this year there are two stronger players in the West. For a dual-core team, the Rockets are Dayao + Totoro, and the Lakers are Kobe + Sister-in-law. Otherwise, the Magic still have a good chance of winning the championship.

The halftime break ended, and Totoro appeared on the bench. In fact, he felt that he was ready to play now. The locker room did a more detailed inspection and there were no major problems. As long as the bones are not broken, the tendons and tendons are not. It's fine if something goes wrong, but for safety reasons, Adelman still does not allow the Chinchillas to play.

Of course, Totoro is useless, because being able to sit on the bench is already the result of his arguments. Originally, Ashuai wanted to send him to the hospital. It can be seen how precious this old man is to Totoro. He always dislikes him and criticizes him, but in Adelman's heart, Totoro is the core that James will not change, unless James + Kobe + Durant, he will consider it.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Magic, which had gained momentum a little bit, played a small climax with the advantage of home court. Nelson, Redick and Lewis suddenly rained three-pointers in the Amway Arena, and the point difference was overtaken again. It was stretched to 10 points, but the Rockets woke up immediately. Calderon and Battier immediately responded with two three-pointers. Rocket smoothed.

Only now did the home fans look a little better. Seeing the hope of victory in this game, the Magic fans also began to cheer. Anyway, they have completely shameless this year. It is not a glorious thing to enter the finals by themselves. If shameless can make his team win the O'Brien Cup, then what is his own face?
At the end of the third quarter, the battle between the Rockets and the Magic became 74:76. The Rockets went from leading by 2 points to temporarily trailing by 2 points. It’s a matter of coming back, but it may be that the Rockets fans are used to seeing their team lead by a big score and enter the fourth quarter. When this kind of anxious moment comes, they will involuntarily become nervous, for fear that if something goes wrong, they will be pulled away by the Magic up the score.

Especially after Totoro left the field, Rockets fans always felt that their team lacked some confidence and could no longer be as stable as before. Feel very hanging.

But the neutral fans got excited, who likes to watch garbage time?Now like the Rockets games, social animals don’t pay much attention to them. Just calculate the end time of the game and scan the battle reports and statistics for the last time. But it’s different now. Thousands of fans are glued to the TV. The text message on the computer or the screen of the mobile phone, for fear that I will miss any moment.

At the beginning of the decisive battle, Yao Ming took the lead, making two consecutive small hooks on the left and right to overtake the score, and assisted Battier to score a three-pointer at the top of the arc, taking a certain lead in the opening stage.

But the magic that has already started is not easy to deal with. This can be seen from their ability to sling the defending champion in the third and fourth games. Turkoglu scored a three-pointer and a long two-pointer in a row. The difference is all wiped out. Counting this score, the Turk has scored 31 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in this game. He is very hopeful to get his first triple-double in this finals .

Other fans from all walks of life suddenly discovered that Turkoglu did not suddenly regress. He was still at his peak. The first two games were played out by Totoro's strong defensive strength. -In the 14 season, he had a 15+ triple-double in the finals. This is the first data in history, and according to the fiery momentum of the Turk today, he is fully capable of achieving it 40 years ahead of schedule in this game. .

The Rockets have changed a lot of people to defend Turkoglu, but he can always find a way to score. If Iguodala defends the Turks, he uses his footsteps to open up the shooting space, and when Battier defends the Turks, he uses tonnage. Hey, Adelman even used the small steel cannon Lowry to misplace the defense, but the Turks used their height advantage to shoot at random. Without a Chinchilla who can play at least four positions, the Rockets suddenly became stretched. Now their only The way to win is to keep up with the magic on the offensive end.

But there is another bad news for the Rockets, that Dayao seems to be running out of energy in this game. He lost Totoro from the first quarter tonight. The little giant is like carrying the team on his shoulders alone. Okay, he also played well enough. Facing the situation where most of the Magic double-teamed him, Yao Ming still contributed 34 points and 14 rebounds. Correspondingly, his physical energy was consumed behind these statistics. .

Yao Ming then missed two shots under Howard's desperate defense. Including this game, Yao Ming has been blasted by the little giant for three consecutive games, and finally defended the key attack at a crucial moment. A deadly three-pointer directly stopped the Rockets.

"We are going to design a three-point tactic now. The game time is running out. If we want to win, we have to give it a go."

Ashuai took the tactical board and said, he drew a tactic that Yao Ming Randolph mentioned to give Shane Battier and Calderon a double screen. Today, the three-point shooting percentage of these two people is not bad. It depends on them at the critical moment. Can you stand up again.

But the Magic had already guessed that the Rockets might be betting on a three-pointer. The game was less than 2 minutes away from halftime, and they were already behind by 6 points. It was time to give it a go!

The Rockets' double-screen tactics came out, but the Magic's outside defense did not lose their position. Battier is not Kobe. He may be more accurate than the boss in open shots, but if he makes a forced shot with a defensive player, then There is only one blacksmithing result.
