Legendary basketball manager

But what is surprising is that Yao Ming, who was guarding the rocket's restricted area, only silently raised his right hand after seeing the rear Marion rushing towards him...

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the aggressive Marion was actually blocked by Yao's slap!

During the whole process, Yao Ming didn't jump too hard, as if everything was under his control.

After being blocked, Marion stood under the basket in a daze. What happened just now had a huge impact on him.

"Damn, this jump of Marion shows his exhaustion..."

You know, just this round, Marion took off after sprinting.

This means that when he tries to finish, he carries a lot of kinetic energy on his body.

Yao Ming, on the other hand, stood still, without any kinetic energy.

It stands to reason that between a movement and a stillness, the side that rushes up will have a great advantage.

But in this case, Marion was easily blocked by Yao Ming...

This can only show that his bounce is not as good as before.

Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, saw the scene just now, and couldn't help but think of the ball that the Rockets beat the Heat back then.

At that time, "Little Black Bean" Brooks also hit the inside with the ball, and Wade happened to be in the penalty area.

The first-generation force king looked at Brooks rushing towards him, took two steps forward with "disdain" (note whether he was walking or running), and then took off to complete the block.

The ease of the whole process is similar to Yao Ming's blocking just now...

Highlight one effortless!

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

Look back to the field.

At this time, the ball was slapped by Yao Ming and flew near the three-point line.

Curry and Kidd reacted at the same time and rushed towards the basketball together.

But in terms of speed, the young Curry naturally has the upper hand.

He took the first step to control the ball, and then launched another counterattack.

On the sidelines, Carlisle shook his head helplessly.

He knows that now the game has completely fallen into the rhythm of the Rockets.

The rocket's counterattack after such a successful defense is almost unsolvable.

Sure enough, after Curry passed the half court with the ball, he shot a cold arrow two meters beyond the three-point line.

Even though Terry took precautions and interfered with the timely take-off, he still couldn't stop Curry from shooting.

Curry, who is excited, can send the ball into the basket as long as he gets a little shooting space.

This is Ku Ritian!

31:49, the point difference came to 18 points!

Seeing such a point difference on the scoreboard, even Terry, who had spoken generously before, showed a frustrated expression.

The shock wave of the rocket is too fierce!

Even in the second quarter, Terry led the team to narrow the point difference in the transition period.

But as long as the Rockets break out at a certain period of time, they will quickly expand their advantages...

This is what makes the Mavericks most discouraged and desperate!

"Peja, get ready, go up and replace Jason."

On the bench, Carlisle said to Stojakovic.

Peja nodded, took off his coat, and walked to the technical table.

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

At the same time, in the offensive round of the Mavericks, Nowitzki beat Yi Jianlian hard and made the latter foul.

Between his free throws, Peja went into battle.

His appearance did indeed have a certain effect.

After 20 seconds, the Mavericks made a comeback.

Nowitzki played Yi Jianlian in the low post again.

This time, George dropped Marion, who was facing him, and rushed to the low post to help defend.

Nowitzki immediately passed the ball.

Then, the Mavericks players made 5 consecutive non-stop passes.

Such high-frequency passing finally succeeded in creating opportunities.

With the help of a cover, Peja, who ran back to the bottom corner, received a pass from Kidd, and raised the knife from outside the three-point line, adding another 3 points for the team!

36: 49!

After the goal, Peja excitedly celebrated with Kidd high-five.

But the good times didn't last long. Peja, who had just shown his edge on the offensive end, immediately became the target of the Rockets.

Curry just passed the half court dribble when McGrady pointed in George's direction.

Curry understood and passed the ball.

After George got the ball, he immediately launched a singles.

I saw him posing, facing Peja with a set of silky dribbles.

Croatia's sharp shooting is not good at defense at all, coupled with the decline in lateral movement speed after getting older, he looks particularly clumsy in front of George.

After shaking for a while, George suddenly crossed and broke through.

Peja quickly moved laterally to block.

But after George took a sudden step forward, he dribbled the ball back under his crotch, and the assistant hand gave Peja a little by the way.

Peja suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground.

George smiled slightly, and calmly shot after receiving the ball.

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

George completed the whole set of movements as smoothly as Dove.

If the camera is zoomed out, it is estimated that many fans will mistakenly think that McGrady made this combo.

At 36:51, the point difference came to 15 points again.

After 1 minute, the Rockets' offensive came back.

George received the ball again at a 45-degree angle to the left.

The teammates all moved to the right side of the court, leaving the stage for Pickle.

This situation also made the Mavericks players very entangled.

Judging from the matchup between George and Peja last time, Peja is in great need of help.

But if George is double-teamed, the Mavericks players think it is too exaggerated.

Compared with George in the Rockets' starting lineup, he is almost a 3D player.

If he is double-teamed, what will McGrady do, what will Curry do, and what will Yao Ming do?

Therefore, the Mavericks players did not move in the end, and only watched Peja's single defense on the other side of the court.

Peja gritted his teeth and concentrated on defending.

But boxing is afraid of young people, especially young people with extraordinary talents like George.

He once again showed a butterfly dribble, and after a crotch dribble, he used a very confusing crossover to shake Peja away.

Then, George lowered his center of gravity and accelerated to the basket.

Seeing this, Chandler quickly returned to defense from the right corner.

But this also means that Yao Ming, who was playing against him, was left empty.

George didn't get greedy, and immediately passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming opened his bow and set an arrow, and made a decisive three-pointer...

hit!

At 36:54, the point difference approached 20 points again.

In the next few minutes, the Mavericks tried their best to barely stop the decline.

After halftime, the score came to 45:65, and the Rockets returned to the locker room with a 20-point advantage.

During the halftime break, McGrady rarely stood in the middle of the locker room and gave a speech.

"Guys, there's something I've been meaning to share with you all."

"On this Rockets team, only Yao and I played in the playoffs with the Mavericks."

"Some of you may have heard that, yes, we lost 40 points to the Mavericks in the most critical 'tie-break'..."

"I don't know what Yao thought, but since then, I have actually been fantasizing about one day being able to 'revenge'."

Maddy said sincerely.

The other players are listening attentively.

Especially Yao Ming, he couldn't help nodding when McGrady talked about "revenge".

"Now, there is a great opportunity in front of us!"

"As long as we work hard, we can beat the Mavericks in one fell swoop."

"So... I hope everyone can do me a favor. The 40 points of humiliation in those years will be returned to them today!"

McGrady's tone is not high, but absolutely firm.

"Okay, let's settle the matter with them today~"

Teacher Tony responded with a smile.

"Victory is in sight, now we lead by 20 points, and then we will beat them by 20 points!"

Lowry said excitedly.

Although he didn't get the chance to play, the team's sense of honor has always been strong.

"40 points!"

Ben Wallace's voice was like the growl of a beast.

At this moment, everyone reached the unity of purpose.

Mark Jackson on the side watched quietly without saying a word.

He didn't know much about the grievances between the Rockets and the Mavericks.

But since the players are full of fighting spirit because of this, Mark Jackson will not intervene.

On the contrary, after the players made it clear that they wanted to launch a fierce attack, he also specially arranged some quick attack tactics.

Soon, the intermission is over and the game will start again!

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

In the third quarter, the lineups of both sides were consistent with the opening starters.

Mavericks' offensive round.

Terry, who felt good in the first half, got another chance.

With the help of Nowitzki's screen, he pulled up a jumper in the middle range...

"duang!"

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

Yi Jianlian jumped and took off the rebound handsomely.

He quickly handed the ball to McGrady.

t-mac raised his long legs and led his teammates to launch a counterattack.

In the fast break, McGrady passed the ball to Curry who followed up with a freehand no-look-pass.

However, when Curry caught the ball, he still stepped on the Mavericks logo on his heel.

But without the slightest hesitation, he decisively shot a three-pointer...
