hall of fame small forward

Chapter 266 Where did the person go?

Judging from Totoro's expression, the Magic and Rockets players could feel an obvious murderous aura, coupled with the unreasonable hero ball, the domineering almost suppressed Magic team couldn't hold their heads up.

At this time, someone from the Magic team needs to stand up and respond. Otherwise, the game is actually over here, the whole team's momentum is suppressed by one person, and the players have no fighting spirit. How can this continue?
Turkoglu and Lewis have already tried one after another, but they obviously don't have the potential to be heroes, at least not tonight. The Magic have already eliminated two of the Big Three. It's conceivable who will play the remaining ball. Know.

Big Van Gundy called a timeout. There was still one round of attack time before the end of the game. It would be a fool not to call a timeout at this moment. Keeping the timeout thing and not being able to give birth, he now has to quickly set a two-two for the team Divide the ball tactics.

Theoretically, there are still 24 seconds left, but at this moment of life and death, no one will choose to spend all 24 seconds before shooting the game-winning shot. First of all, they cannot bear the pressure of failing to make a shot. Things on the blade can only be done by people who are extremely confident in themselves or extremely crazy, such as Kobe of the Lakers.

If they want to be safe, they can only choose to hit a two-pointer quickly, and then try their best to defend. If the two-pointer fails to score, they still have time to counter-robbery on the spot or execute foul tactics.

Van Gundy scribbled on the tactical board, wondering if the Magic players under heavy pressure understood it. On the other hand, on the Rockets side, Adelman also wanted to arrange tactics, but was rejected by the Totoro. He was stopped by reaching out.

"Coach, you don't need to arrange any tactics, just leave everything to me."

Totoro said with bright eyes, the Rockets' bench was suddenly quiet, and they all turned their eyes to their young and over-the-top core. Although no one spoke, their eyes conveyed full trust.

"Then coach, you can prepare the money in advance and treat us to a meal at the Hilton Hotel. If I were you, you can call and make an appointment now, so that we won't be overwhelmed by so many people."

Seeing the seriousness of the atmosphere, Totoro couldn't help but joke with Adelman. This cold joke was very effective. Not only the other Rockets teammates who were listening, even the coaching staff laughed lightly.

"Don't worry about this, I have already prepared US dollars, you go to the game, and then I will take you to a big meal, which is equivalent to celebrating the championship in advance."

The corners of Adelman's mouth are also slightly raised. He likes his disciple very much. Although he is very unreliable in normal times and can always do some unbelievable things on the court, but at critical moments, Totoro has never Let people down!
The short timeout was over soon, and the players of the Magic finally memorized the complicated tactics drawn by Van Gundy by rote. Nelson served from the sideline, and Howard, Lewis, Pietrus and the three big men all pulled out to Turkog. Lu did a pick-and-roll, and the three big men formed a long snake formation. Finally, under the pressure of the Rockets, the Turks got the ball smoothly.

Battier and Iguodala were immediately on the verge of a big enemy. This season, the Turkish agents have already made many key shots at critical moments. The same was true for the backlash just now. Efforts were in vain.

However, when all the attention of the Rockets was on Turkoglu, the Turk raised his hand gently, and the basketball drew an arc, flying over their heads, and waited until they turned back. When God came, Howard was already hanging above the basket.

The Magic actually completed a creative alley-oop at the last minute of the game and caught the Rockets by surprise. They regained their 1-point lead.

But it was rare at the moment, most of the entire Amway Arena was quiet and quiet, not as enthusiastic and cheering as he was when the home team players scored points at critical moments in the finals in previous years.

It's not that they don't like their home team, but that the Rockets will attack next, and the ball will be in the hands of that man again, that man. man
Magic fans have been scared by Totoro, and only when Totoro fails to make a shot, they dare to relax and cheer.

But they are destined to have no such opportunity.

The Magic thought the Rockets would call a timeout, but they didn't call it. Instead, they were ready to serve. All members of the Magic spontaneously pressed the whole court to force the Rockets to make a mistake, but Totoro easily got stuck by virtue of its physical advantage. The master Lewis received the serve, and easily got rid of Lewis by relying on speed and rhythm, walked to the frontcourt, and then easily shot and prepared to shoot.

"Don't think about it!"

The appearance of the Totoro strolling in the court made Lewis completely furious. He jumped up high like a roc spreading its wings, trying to cover Totoro’s three-pointer, but when he jumped up, he realized that Totoro hadn’t taken off at all. , but showed a smirk at him below.

"beep!"

Totoro intentionally made contact with Lewis who was flying over, and at the same time, in order to prevent the other party from attacking, Totoro this time can be said to be the first to strike first, and took the lead in hitting Lewis who was flying over by himself, but This ball is that he knocked Lewis into a cripple, and the referee will 100% foul the opponent instead of himself!
After winning the referee's whistle, Totoro lightly jumped up and shot, with his arms stretched, the ball holder and the ball protector were at a 90-degree vertical, and at the same time, the forearm and forearm of both hands were also at a 90-degree vertical, basketball Shot in a very textbook stance.

With the strength of the system and the hand feeling he has practiced hard every day, the ball flew steadily above the basket, and then rolled into it.

"3+1!"

The live seats and studios broadcasting the game went crazy. At the same time, there were also Rockets fans who spontaneously gathered outside the arena plaza of the Dragonborn Cave. Since this game was an away game, these fans who stayed in Houston still gathered in the arena. Watch the live broadcast on the big screen outside to support the team.

After Totoro threw the ball that could kill the game, I don't know who took the lead, wave after wave of these people knelt down, worshiping Totoro as a real dragon from the bottom of their hearts.

Totoro scored a free throw steadily, and the point difference between the two teams came to 3 points in an instant. Totoro succeeded in scoring four points this time, which was too hurtful. The game time was only 11 seconds for the Magic. Using three-point shooting tactics, or scoring a quick two-pointer, you can also quickly foul the Rockets' players to make one or two free throws, but Adelman will definitely make adjustments to this.

Totoro's free throw percentage in this playoffs is 97.1%, Yao Ming's is 82.3%, Calderon's is 90.1%, Battier's is 78.3%, and Iguodala also has a free throw percentage of 73%.

That is to say, if the Magic want to implement the second set of tactics, there is only some hope for fouling the first brother, but first the ball has to go to Iguodala's hands, and the 73 shooting percentage is also 2 free throws and 2 free throws. Among them, although their second set of plans is safe, there are too many uncertain factors, and it may be a waste of work later, and the first set of three-point tactics is to tie if they go in. Maybe they can do a good job of defense. Overtime, gg if you don’t enter, go home and pack your bags to prepare for fishing.

Calling himself the last short timeout, after a long time of consideration, Van Gundy decided to gamble on the second set of tactics. He did not dare to make a final deal at such a critical moment.

The Magic still sent three inside screens for Turkoglu to catch the ball, and the Rockets still put the defensive center on Turkoglu. This is the case with threatening players. The more important the game is, the more deterrent it is, even if he Without making any moves, just getting the ball makes people feel nervous.

And the Rockets are not roundworms in the stomach of the Magic. They don't know whether the Magic are playing two or three points with them, so they can only focus most of their attention on the outside.

However, this was still a fake move by the Magic. Turkoglu threw the ball into the air again. Howard once again threw away Yao Ming by virtue of his league's top explosive power. Do it again, if he didn't have that familiar yellow hand in front of him.

"Get out of here, old man!"

My Neighbor Totoro appeared out of nowhere, fighting for speed, bullets and jumping. Totoro is not weaker than Warcraft, but fighting strength is not Totoro's strong point. To interfere with Howard's space dunk!
One hand was pressed on Howard's ball, but it only lasted for a moment, and Totoro was knocked away by the monster with brute force, but this was enough!
The alley-oop is a very difficult basketball skill. Those who have tried it all know that there should be no interference during the alley-oop, otherwise the ball will be dunked nine times out of ten.

"Dangdang!"

The Rockets' basket was pulled down by Howard's brute force, but the ball didn't go in. Instead, it flew out of the three-point line because of too much force, and fell straight into Iguodala's arms!
The Magic players want to rush forward to rob, and if they fail, they will foul, but Iguodala is not stupid, Calderon is also a soul, the Spanish defender quickly ran forward, Iguodala made a long pass, Calderon Deron made an empty basket.

This is the only two points he scored in this game, but it is also the two points that killed the entire game.

"beep!"

The timer beeped at the end of the game, and the excited Calderon threw the basketball into the air vigorously, and roared to the sky!
Iguodala and Battier had a passionate chest bump celebration, but how could the president's physique be Xiaoai's opponent?He was directly hit by Iguodala and lay on the ground, and a dog ate shit.

The little giant didn't celebrate with his teammates. He ran over and pulled up Totoro who had fallen on the ground. If Totoro hadn't made the key block just now, the game might have continued to be entangled. The Rockets might still be overturned. Danger.

But Totoro's desperate replacement has put these on the stop sign in advance.

"Why are you so powerful, brat?"

The little giant asked with a smile in Mandarin.

"Isn't that necessary? If I'm not good, can I still play by your side? I'm not qualified!"

Totoro also replied with a smile, but the teasing tone made Dayao want to reach out and pat him on the head.

The Magic players fled the arena after the game, and no one was ashamed to hug the Rockets, and the Amway Arena was empty within a few minutes. Although they had expected this result long ago, they watched helplessly. Looking at the game that could be won but lost, the sadness and loss of these Magic fans can be imagined.

"Hey, boys, hurry up and take a shower in the locker room, let's go directly to have a big meal!"

Adelman smiled like a child in his teens, and his red face was full of energy, and he looked nothing like a little old man in his 70s or [-]s.

"Isn't there a press conference after the game? It doesn't matter if you don't attend it?"

My Neighbor Totoro asked curiously, if I dared to release the pigeons of those reporters, these guys would 100% go to the league to join them, and fines and so on would definitely be unavoidable.

"Fuck the press conference, today I announced as the head coach, dove on their press conference, everyone let the labor and management relax, their repeated questions have long annoyed me, let them today Go and wait for the air to clear up."

Adelman burst out with swear words, which made the Rockets and his gang laugh heartily. The gang walked back to the locker room with shoulders and backs like gangsters, ready to take a shower and enjoy themselves beautifully. one night.

After half an hour.
At the Magic's press conference, Howard, Turkoglu and Van Gundy all lowered their heads, especially the Turkish agent who had a 40+ triple-double and lost today. He didn't want to talk at all in front of the camera.

The media doesn’t know how to blame them. It’s not that they didn’t play hard, but the gap between the two teams is so big. The Turks, who were bombarded by themselves, turned into the thick legs of the team today and lost in the end. Totoro is too unreasonable, this is beyond human control.

In the first quarter, Totoro was accidentally injured. The Magic and the Rockets had an inextricable fight. In fact, at this time, everyone has already seen that this year's Magic and the Rockets are a distance behind Totoro, but as long as Totoro comes back, the Magic will do whatever it takes. If you want to defeat your opponents, you have to wait until the summer trading market opens and then make reinforcements, otherwise there is no other way.

"Let's try not to get swept by the Rockets."

In the final post-match press conference of the entire Magic team, Van Gundy held back for a long time and only uttered this sentence. The Magic team has been devastated from head to toe, and their media is also embarrassed to add insult to injury.

However, when the Rockets press conference, the reporters who waited for a long time and simmered with many questions discovered that none of the players who performed well in this game, including Totoro, and the coach, actually appeared on the field, and only the Rockets' press conference was present. The official and general manager Morey?
