Legendary basketball manager

"Wow~"

Wade sprang out like a black bolt of lightning.

Seeing him jumping high, Rose's pass was caught by him!

After completing the steal, Wade immediately went to the Bulls basket.

At this point in time, what the Heat need most is a quick and stable score.

But at the same time, Rose did not stay for a moment after making a mistake, and rushed back to the penalty area as soon as possible.

The ball he lost, he wants to get it back by himself!

As the saying goes, the brave who meet in a narrow way wins.

But the current situation is that both of them are indomitable braves, so the competition is to perform on the spot!

Rose knows that the opponent's jumping and explosive power are not inferior to his own.

In addition, Wade is accelerating in a straight line, and the kinetic energy generated is far beyond his lateral running energy.

If you try to block the shot head-on, you will not only have the risk of being dunked (Noah was dunked by Wade in this game), but it may also give Wade a 2+1 chance.

With this in mind, Rose made the most reasonable choice in the blink of an eye—quickly stood on Wade's path, with his hands in front of him.

He wanted to make Wade's offensive foul!

But The Flash is not the kind of reckless guy who is easy to get on with.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid where Rose was standing, Wade immediately found another way.

Just at this time, James and Luol Deng rushed to the basket from the right side at the same time.

Among them, Lao Zhan pointed upward with his right hand.

Wade understood, stopped immediately, and threw the ball into the air...

The next moment, James and Luol Deng jumped at the same time.

Seeing that he was invincible, Jordan stretched out his hands and clasped James' shoulders from behind.

"Beep!"

The referee immediately blew his whistle, which was an obvious foul.

But James didn't stop.

I saw him with a ferocious expression on his face, and the veins on his neck were bulging. He actually "carried" Luol Deng and completed a layup!

Moreover, no matter how hard he used in the confrontation, James' touch was still extremely soft when he finally made a layup.

"And. One!"

With a roar from James, the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

Two points scored, but also a penalty!

"Wow~"

"LeBron!!!"

"Jane Wei connection, the valuable Jane Wei connection!"

......

The American Airlines Center was boiling again, and the fans cheered for James and Wade.

James goes to the free throw line.

The current score is 91:97, the goal was scored, and the Heat may even overtake the score within two rounds!

James took a deep breath before motioning for the referee to pass the ball.

After getting the ball, James dribbled the ball three times, and after being fully prepared, he shot slowly...

"Duang!"

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

Noah lightly stretched his ape arm and accepted the rebound.

"woo..."

There was an uproar at the scene.

Every point at this time is worth a thousand dollars, so opportunities like free throws to score easily are very rare.

It's a pity that there was no penalty.

And this twists and turns of the plot made the fans so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.

After the Bulls served from the bottom line, they even forgot to cheer for the home team.

In the silence, Rose carried the ball through half court and stopped near the middle circle.

Not far from him, James stepped off his horse, opened his hands, and assumed a standard defensive posture, his eyes were extremely focused.

Although the lob just now allowed the Heat to win through normal defense without the need to use foul tactics in advance.

But James is still not satisfied with this.

Until now, he still has difficulty accepting that he missed free throws at critical moments.

Rose, who was standing opposite him, also had a similar mentality.

Obviously the tactics were perfectly implemented, but because of a pass error of his own, the situation returned to the original point...

Therefore, in this round, both offensive and defensive sides are bound to win!

The seconds ticked by, and when the number on the timer jumped to 7, Rose moved!

I saw him start suddenly, rushing straight to James' left hand side.

James reacted quickly and immediately moved laterally to block.

Seeing that the two were about to collide, Rose suddenly changed direction!

"Sigh~"

The sound of the sneakers rubbing against the wooden floor was slightly harsh.

And it is Ross's ultra-high-speed direction change that produces such a sound...

During the whole process of changing direction, he didn't slow down at all!

Such a change of direction without slowing down is unique in the entire league.

Even if the defense is as strong as James, when faced with such a change of direction, he was caught off guard and was taken a step away.

Rose continued to sprint at full speed, killing the Heat inside.

Howard's feet are slightly bent, ready to protect the basket.

At this moment, Bull No. [-] has only one thought in his mind - put the damn basketball into the basket and win the game!

Instead of observing the position of his teammates, he rushed towards Howard without hesitation.

At the same time, James has adjusted his center of gravity and is struggling to catch up behind Rose.

The next moment, the three jumped at the same time, and Rose was caught in the middle!

In the cracks, roses are still blooming...

I saw him tightening his abdomen violently, and he curled up into a ball in the air.

Then, Rose used the signature "big shift" lever, changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand, and finally completed a layup under Howard's armpit!

"woo..."

The Heat fans at the scene couldn't help but gasp in amazement after seeing such a wonderful tie-bar layup.

With this goal scored, the score became 91:99, and the Bulls led by a full 8 points!

Not only that...

Rose scored this goal under the attack of the Heat's two defensive cores!

If the camera zooms in, you can clearly feel the change in the state of the Bulls players after the ball is scored...

At this moment, their adrenaline was crazily secreted, and the original fatigue disappeared.

The entire Bulls team reached the peak of morale at this moment!

Heat coach Spoelstra quickly called a timeout.

At this time, there are still 1 minute and 30 seconds before the end of the game, and the Heat still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!

But after the timeout ended, the Bulls immediately used a strong defense to shatter the Heat's comeback dream.

Wade drives to the basket with the help of a screen.

But his European step was predicted by Luol Deng.

British Jordan jumped high behind Wade and nailed the latter's layup to the board.

At this point, the suspense of the game is over.

The Bulls won the game with difficulty in the away game, and the total score of the two teams became 1:1!

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

After the game ended, the screen changed to Houston.

The rocket generals finished watching the game, and they were all unsatisfied at this time.

"Unexpectedly, the Heat were really won by the Bulls."

"The Bulls are so tenacious. They almost reversed the Heat in the last game."

"The mental attributes of the Mavericks are no worse than that of the Bulls. We have to be careful in the future. The loss of the Heat can be regarded as a wake-up call for us."

"A few players in the Heat were in poor form. Ray Allen felt cold before the last 5 minutes. Not only did Howard get into foul trouble, but his free throws were also abnormal... It was these unexpected situations that made them feel the whole game. The game is all passive."

"I don't think there is a problem with the level of both of them, it's purely poor state and luck... This situation may also appear to us."

"The key is, when a certain person or a few people perform abnormally, can other people stand up!"

......

The players talked to each other, telling their feelings after watching the game.

"Well, all of them are right. I hope you don't just talk about it, but also think so in your heart."

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

The number of young players in the Rockets is currently the largest among the four teams in the conference finals.

Players like George, Griffin, and Jeremy Lin are playing in the NBA for the first time.

Young players are often a double-edged sword.

When they are in good shape, or when their morale is high, they can often play games that exceed their own level.

But the other side of the coin is... the mentality of young players is generally unstable.

When the wind is against them, they are prone to impatience, which often leads to the defeat of the game.

And when the wind is strong, they tend to slack off, commonly known as "waves".

However, these young people from the Rockets have not made too many mistakes so far.

"Okay, let's stop here today, go back and rest early, and we have to train tomorrow."

As Mark Jackson spoke, he got up and "drived" the team members out of the video conference room.

He was quite happy tonight.

It's not because the potential championship opponent lost, but this game served as a warning to the players.

This is the important role of watching the game!

"The next game, I hope it goes well..."

Mark Jackson murmured, and then left the video analysis room.

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

Two days later, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

The third leg of the Western Conference Finals is here as scheduled!

Beautiful country time on January 1, American Airlines Center Arena.

The much-anticipated game between the Rockets and the Mavericks is coming as scheduled!

Such an important game, CCTV will naturally not miss it.

"Hello, viewers, welcome to watch the broadcast of NBA games brought to you by CCTV-5."

"I'm Yu Jia!"

"I'm Yang Yi."

In the broadcast booth, two commentators started as usual.

"Director Yang, can you briefly analyze this game for us?"

Yu Jia asked.

"Okay! In the previous two games between the two sides, the Rockets have won by more than 20 points."

"However, the process of the game was not as calm as the point difference showed. So far, the Rockets have not actually restricted Nowitzki very well."

"In addition to this game, the Mavericks have returned to the home court. With the support of the fans on site, they may be able to play a better performance."

Yang Yi talked eloquently.

"Director Yang, what do you think is the key to victory for both sides?"

Yu Jia continued to ask.

"On the Mavericks side, players other than Nowitzki must stand up. Like the day before yesterday, the Bulls were able to defeat the Heat because of Korver's magic."

"Actually, the Mavericks have more than one player with such potential. For example, Peja, Caron Butler, and even JJ Barea, I think it is possible to explode."

"As for the Rockets, I think it's not difficult to win the game as long as you keep a steady mind and guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

Yang Yi analyzed.

"Okay, now the game is about to start, let's hand the camera to the front!"

After all, Yu Jia waved his hand, the screen changed, and he came to the American Airlines Center.

At this time, the starting players of both sides are stepping onto the court one after another.

At the same time, Shen Fei had already taken his seat in a box on the stand.

Under Armor just negotiated a big cooperation yesterday, and he is in a good mood.

If the Rockets can win this game, it will be more joy than joy.

After all, in the history of the Western Conference Finals, no team has come back after falling behind 0:3.

Of course, the Rockets now have a higher goal, and they want to pursue a winning streak.

It's also worth mentioning that after Shen Fei made the "0/8" rhetoric, the topic of the Western Conference Finals reached an unprecedented level.

The first two games at the Toyota Center were packed.

There are even rumors on the Internet that some scalpers have raised the ticket price to 10 times the original price.

And today, the Mavericks' home court is also hard to find.

Shen Fei looked up, Mavericks fans were uniformly dressed, and the scene turned into a sea of ​​white.

Even before the game started, their cheers were already deafening.

Look at the field again.

The Mavericks players all looked serious, without a hint of a smile.

Everyone is full of fighting spirit, and a posture of vowing to defend the home court.

"interesting..."

Shen Fei murmured with a smile.

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

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

The Mavericks, who returned to the home court, showed a different game state as soon as they came up.

In the first round, Nowitzki hit Ben Wallace in the low post.

After a series of physical confrontations, Nuo Tianwang turned over with difficulty and leaned back...

hit!

2:0, the Mavericks took the lead!

Looking back, Yao Ming also played singles in the low post.

The Mavericks decisively take flanking.

After some conduction, the opportunity finally appeared in Curry's hands.

But the Rockets missed a three-pointer on the 30th.

Chandler received the rebound, and the Mavericks counterattacked.

Their fast break was very determined.

After Terry received a pass from Kidd at the top of the key, he shot a three-pointer against Curry's defense...

Again!

5:0, the Mavericks' opening three tricks are still fierce!

And one offense and one defense has also become a microcosm of the first half of the game.

We said before that young players are prone to unstable mentality.

In fact, they have another common problem - it is difficult to maintain a stable state.

For example, Curry, who scored the Rockets' highest score in the last game, felt surprisingly cold in this game.

Throughout the first half, Curry took a total of 8 shots and only hit one goal.

And this ball was an empty basket he made after stealing.

And his best offensive method-three-pointers, he made 4 shots in the first half, but none of them hit!

In addition, George and Ben Wallace also failed to score in the first half.

Five starters scored only two points in total!

With such a performance, the Rockets naturally cannot compete with the Mavericks.

At the end of halftime, the Mavericks led the Rockets by a big score of 60:42!

The main output of the Rockets basically comes from the two cores-Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

In the first half, T-MAC scored 12 points on 9-of-21 shooting.

A single person's score has reached half of the team.

Yao Ming also scored 11 points.

The two scored most of the team's points.

This kind of scoring distribution is extremely rare in the Rockets throughout the season!

So at halftime, Mark Jackson was completely angry!

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

"What are you doing?!"

Mark Jackson's first words when he entered the locker room were almost roaring.
