Legendary basketball manager

Due to the disparity in the score, both sides replaced players at the end of the bench.

The Rockets sent: Lowry, Sun Yue, pj-Tucker, Yi Jianlian and Chris Anderson.

This lineup is already the last lineup they can form.

But whether it is Lowry, Yi Jianlian or Tucker, they all have very strong strengths.

It can be said that in this lineup, there is only one real rookie, and that is Sun Yue who has not undergone any transformation or promotion.

Shen Fei watched the stadium from the stands.

Even though it was far away, he could still feel Sun Yue's unconfident body language.

"Come on..."

Shen Fei murmured.

............

The game restarts.

Rocket attack.

In the first round, Sun Yue stood silently in the bottom corner, waiting for the opportunity.

His current ability to hold the ball is still unable to have any offense with the ball in the playoffs, and can only act as a "pie-eating" role.

On the other side of the field, Lowry broke through with the ball, and after hitting the inside line, he distributed the ball to Yi Jianlian who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

A teamed up and hit a three-pointer.

The Rockets continue to expand their lead!

Lowry, who had tasted the sweetness, continued to play pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc in the next round.

After bypassing the screen, Xiaogangpao attracted two defensive players.

With a flick of his wrist, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Ah Lian who was running down.

In an instant, Yi Jianlian's front was unimpeded!

Seeing this, Cook, who was defending Sun Yue, quickly shrank to the basket.

At this time, there are two choices before Yi Jianlian——

One is to resolutely attack the basket.

Cook returning to defense may not be able to be in place in time, even if he is in place, it is difficult to protect the basket with his height.

The second is to distribute the ball to Sun Yue in the bottom corner.

In this way, Sun Yue can get an open three-pointer.

There is no doubt that the first option has a higher success rate, because Yi Jianlian is at least [-]% sure that he can dunk the ball into the basket.

But in the blink of an eye, Ah Lian still selflessly gave the opportunity to Sun Yue!

When Sun Yue received the ball, whether it was Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, Jeremy Lin off the court, or even Shen Fei in the stands, they all hoped that he could make this three-pointer to boost his confidence.

But unexpectedly, Sun Yue hesitated for a moment after receiving the ball, but instead of making a shot, he dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket.

Cook had already given up on defense.

When he saw Sun Yue rushing towards him, he was overjoyed and immediately put his feet on the ground and took off to protect the basket.

[Don't waste such a good opportunity...]

Yi Jianlian was sweating for his compatriots.

Fortunately, Sun Yue has a certain height advantage over Cook.

His full-speed impact eventually caused Cook's defensive foul.

"Beep!"

After the whistle sounded, Yi Jianlian immediately stepped forward and gave Sun Yue a high-five to celebrate.

Seeing this scene, Yao Ming off the court couldn't help nodding slightly.

Yi Jianlian has grown up!

What he is doing for Sun Yue now is exactly what Yao Ming did for him before.

............

Sun Yue went to the free throw line.

At this point the outcome was decided, and the Thunder fans didn't boo him.

But even so, Sun Yue still felt nervous.

He took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and took five more dribbles before throwing the ball...

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Second penalty...

"duang!"

Strike the iron again.

"Forehead..."

Yao Ming was stunned for a moment.

In his impression, Sun Yue's free throws were good, but this time he missed both free throws...

[Still too nervous. ]

Yao Ming thought to himself.

On the court, Sun Yue also shook his head angrily.

At this moment, Yi Jianlian, who retreated from defense, patted him on the back and said in a low voice: "Keep fighting like this, and you will definitely get in next time."

The corner of Sun Yue's mouth curled up in an arc, and she nodded.

Thunder attack.

Veteran Nick Collison catches the pass and plays Anderson in the low post.

Birdman suffered a minor injury at the end of the season, and only resumed training two days ago.

Returning to the game this time, he is far from finding his form.

Therefore, when confronting Collison, Birdman seemed a little powerless, and was pushed into the three-second zone by Collison within a few strokes.

The old man Collison was chatting about his teenage madness, and he got up under the basket and prepared to dunk.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared behind him!

These two figures are one tall and one short, but both have yellow skin. Naturally, they are Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.

Sun Yue first slapped the basketball in Collison's hand, causing the latter to lose control of the ball.

The next moment, Yi Jianlian pinned the ball on the backboard again and grabbed it down.

"woo..."

The fans at the scene couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamation.

Blocking is common, but it is rare for two people to block at the same time!

Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian's "two ghosts knocking on the door" this time is really eye-catching!

On the sidelines bench, Dayao raised his arms and shouted: "Strike!"

Curry waved the towel vigorously, cheering for his teammates.

McGrady said with a smile: "Yao, I found that your Huaxia players have a good defensive awareness."

At the same time, Shen Fei in the stands also showed a smile.

What he values ​​most about Sun Yue is actually defense.

In the 08 Olympic Games, Sun Yue won the title of "Sun Dasheng" with his wonderful blocks.

Back then, he hated all the famous people, such as Melon and Howard.

The players from Pretty Country even made a bet before the match against Huaxia that whoever could deduct Sun Yue would get a certain bonus.

It can be seen that Sun Yue's ability to block shots is widely recognized.

It's a pity that after landing in the NBA, he did not continue to improve his defensive ability, and was also affected by multiple injuries, large and small.

This block may be the first time Sun Yue has demonstrated his ability to block shots in the NBA!

[Hope it's a good start, I feel like I've regained my confidence...]

Shen Fei said with anticipation in his heart.

............

After successfully defending, Sun Yue's state relaxed a lot.

When it comes to the offensive end, he is no longer limited to squatting in the bottom corner, but tries to run, and helps his teammates pick and roll from time to time.

About 3 minutes later, Sun Yue finally ushered in his moment.

Yi Jianlian blocked Collison again on the defensive end and protected the rebound.

At this moment, Sun Yue sensed an opportunity for a quick break, and secretly paced toward Thunder halftime.

Yi Jianlian handed the ball to Lowry.

Xiao Gang Pao looked around and found Sun Yue who had been stolen.

The next moment, he waved his hand, and made a pass across the half court, passing the ball to Sun Yue, who was wearing the No. 9 jersey.

After receiving the ball, Sun Yue's front was wide open.

Yao Ming has already stood up, raised his right hand, ready to celebrate.

Yi Jianlian and Lowry looked forward expectantly, waiting for Sun Yue's performance.

Sun Yue worked hard and took off on one foot...

"bang!"

He scored his first point in the playoffs with a crisp one-handed dunk!

After completing the dunk, Sun Yue ran back to his own half with a smile on his face.

Lowry smiled and raised his right hand: "give.me.five, bro~"

Yi Jianlian also gave Sun Yue a thumbs up.

Sun Yue responded to the kindness of his teammates one by one.

However, this dunk was his final highlight of the game.

In the last 2 minutes, Sun Yue contributed two turnovers and two fouls.

However, none of this affected the outcome of the game.

In the end, the Rockets beat the Thunder 130:110 in the away game and won the fourth game of the series!

The total score of the two teams also came to 3:1, and the Rockets hold three match points!

Shen Fei left the arena contentedly, took a special plane overnight, and flew back to Houston.

On the plane, he received a text message from Ajiali—"Congratulations, the Rockets' entry into the Western Conference Finals should be a certainty~"

Shen Fei tapped his fingers and replied: "Yes. Will you come over next time?"

After a few seconds, a dialog pops up: "Of course!"

............

After the game between the Thunder and the Rockets, there were a lot of discussions about the game on major social media.

After two consecutive victories, the happiest people are naturally the Rockets fans!

"No one doubts now, right? The second game can't reflect the real level gap between the two teams. The Rockets are still that unstoppable space battleship!"

"The thing that surprised me the most today was Curry. After a misjudgment, he showed unprecedented bloodiness, and his scoring explosiveness was amazing."

"+1, I have been watching the ball for more than [-] years. The last pitcher who was so 'fierce' was Reggie Miller. This kid Curry really has the potential to become a superstar!"

"Ku Ritian, pervert! You said it's not good for the Thunder to provoke anyone, but why should they provoke him? Let me tell you, in this series, Curry's performance is as good as Westbrook's. Does anyone have any objections?"

"I have an opinion! If you only watch the first two games, the two are indeed evenly matched, but after four games, it is obvious that Curry is the better one!"

......

Of course, in addition to the many praiseworthy comments, there are also some harsh remarks.

"Does Shen Fei regard the Rockets as China's back garden? A player of Sun Yue's level does not have the NBA level at all. Why should he be allowed to play in the playoffs?"

"Yao Ming, Jeremy Lin, Yi Jianlian, plus this Sun Yue, the Rockets already have 4 Chinese players. There should be no player in NBA history with so many foreign players from the same country? I think Stern should take care of it." It's over."

"A player who can't even make free throws and makes turnovers when he dribbles, actually gets playing time in such an important game. I don't believe what you mean by Shen Fei. Mark Jackson is Shen Fei's connection It's just a puppet!"

"The level of Yao, Yi, and Lin is all right, but this Sun Yue is really bad. His basic skills may not be comparable to some high school students. I love the Rockets, please don't let such a player on the court disgust me , even if it is for the Chinese market."

......

All kinds of remarks were forwarded to the Hupu forum by a Chinese netizen.

Soon, the Huaxia fans "fried the pot".

"No... If you want to say that Sun Yue is not strong enough now, I believe that rational fans will not object. But Sun Yue played for a few minutes in garbage time today. Is it necessary to criticize him like this?"

"The Rockets are originally Shen Fei's team. According to the laws of the beautiful country, private property is sacred and inviolable. So even if Shen Fei makes the Rockets into an all-Chinese class, there is nothing wrong with it, right?"

"Double standards. I can't see the NBA being dominated by a team with a strong Chinese color, so I just made some remarks. Just see if Brother Fei will pay attention to them..."

"Take care of them? I think Shen Fei is so busy, he is the owner of the team, and he has to manage Under Armour, so he doesn't have time to read such stinky gutters!"

In addition to these more emotional expressions, some fans also put forward constructive opinions.

"I don't think everyone needs to be so angry. When McGrady first returned to the Rockets, didn't the scolding from the beautiful country be even worse?

Later, McGrady proved himself in the game, and all these remarks disappeared.

The most urgent task is for Sun Yue to improve his strength as soon as possible. "

"Objectively speaking, Sun Yue didn't play well today. Except for that block, he only had one unguarded fast break as a positive performance, and the rest of the time it was either a mistake or a foul...

Putting aside the identity of a Huaxia player, Sun Yue will indeed be unhappy when looking at Sun Yue from the perspective of fans.

So, I know everyone is in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry to jump over the wall and scold others, everything will be fine when Sun Yue plays well. "

"I think it's better to believe in Shen Fei. I think some people say that he signed Sun Yue for the China market, which is a bit ridiculous. The Rockets had fully owned the China market when they naturalized Jeremy Lin and signed Yi Jianlian.

Shen Fei should have taken a fancy to a certain quality of Sun Yue, and thought he was worth cultivating before signing the contract!

It's useless to say more, we just wait for the good news, and don't need to talk to these sunspots. "

............

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

When the fans were filled with righteous indignation because of Sun Yue's incident, he himself learned from the painful experience and decided to improve himself next time!

After returning to Houston with the team's special plane, Sun Yue went to the arena with the trainer for training early the next morning.

"After each training session in the future, I will practice 200 free throws."

"Strength training should also be put on the agenda. My current confrontation ability is too disadvantaged."

Sun Yue said to the trainer solemnly.

The trainer nodded, expressing that he would formulate a perfect training plan for him.

Sun Yue practiced for three full hours.

After that, he washed up briefly, ate something, and went to the rocket's video analysis room.

Today, Sun Yue and his teammates will watch the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks.

The Lakers and Mavericks have played 4 games before, with a total score of 2:2.

Today's Tianwangshan battle will largely determine the direction of the series.

Before the game, Kobe and Marion both passed the "concussion test" and were allowed to participate in the game.

This news undoubtedly excited the Lakers fans.

They know very well that if Kobe is absent, 99% of this battle of Tianwangshan will be lost.

............

In the conference hall, the team members sat around together.

"Except for the matchup between the Lakers and the Mavericks, the situation in the other groups is quite obvious."

"In the East, the Heat lead the Celtics 3:1; the Bulls have swept the Eagles 4:0 and advanced ahead of schedule."

After Mark Jackson adjusted the TV, he spoke.

"The Celtics have been miserable this year. KG was reimbursed, and Ray Allen went directly to a competitor. It's really not easy for them to fight for the next game like this."

Tony Allen exclaimed.

He still has a lot of affection for the Green Army.

If it weren't for the fact that Ray Allen's starting position was difficult to shake, and rookie Bradley collided with him, Tony Allen didn't want to leave Boston.

"The NBA is like this. You can never predict what will happen tomorrow. A strong team may only take a month to fall apart."

"But there are also teams that will suddenly rise when people don't notice, like us this year."

Maddie said lightly.

"Come on guys, the game has started, let's watch the game first, and then discuss it slowly."

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to the TV screen.
