Basketball: Dayao Reopened

After the game, the game became the focus of much discussion.

No wonder the Rockets won by 58 points!

This is too frantic!

ESPN's headline directly stated: "This Rockets is really too strong!"

"Sports Illustrated" also said: "Just to talk about this round of the series, this team is full of championship looks!"

"Cleveland Honest Man" also mixed up: "OMG, won by 58 points, Carmelo Anthony is afraid that he will have a nightmare for a few days!"

A few days ago, the entire network was criticizing Carmelo Anthony, but the Cleveland media chose to be silent. They were afraid of "burning themselves" and were bitten by the Denver media. "You didn't even make the playoffs, what are you talking about here!" If you get in, it might be even worse!"

They can't answer this.

But now, they can speak out for criticism!

If Denver's media dare to bite back this time, they can directly reply: "No matter how miserable we are, we can't lose 58 points in a game. It's better not to make it!"

Moreover, the Denver media themselves are criticizing Carmelo Anthony, and obviously they have no intention of talking to them anymore!

In addition, Yao Ming's evaluation of Carmelo Anthony also attracted everyone's attention. No one thought that Yao Ming actually thought that Carmelo Anthony did not need to make any changes.

Since this is the opinion given by the most outstanding newcomer in the last five or six years, even the most BB experts who are usually the most stunned for a while, they... really can't refute Yao Ming.

Carmelo Anthony was also stunned after reading Yao Ming's comment, and then almost cried!

Confidant, confidant!

Carmelo Anthony really did not expect that the person who knew him best was the man who had given him the most "harm"!

Yes?

What can I change?

I have to stick to my style of play!

This is only my first playoff game. This group of guys denied me all because of my first playoff trip. This shows that these guys don't know me at all!

Since they don't understand me, do I need to listen to their opinions?

No need at all, okay!

I just need to keep sticking to my style of play!

Yes, as Yao said, I just need to insist on being myself... Only someone as good as him knows that I have no problems at all.

Carmelo Anthony gradually strengthened his ideas, and at the same time got a lot closer to Yao Ming in his heart!

He thinks this guy understands his heart!

Yao Ming didn't know that his words made Carmelo Anthony feel this way.

He has gone back to Houston with the Rockets.

Of course, if he knew that Carmelo Anthony had such an idea, he might send a text message to the latter: Yes, you are right to think that way, man, it’s not your fault, it’s the whole world that’s wrong. ! But the truth of this world is always in the hands of a few people!

With these words, Yao Ming believes that Anthony's affection for him will definitely increase several times!

The Rockets returned to Houston to prepare for the second round of the playoffs.

With the Lakers winning the Kings again in the fifth game of the series, this brought the two teams' big score to 4-1! The Lakers officially eliminated the Kings and joined the Rockets in the second round!

This is a tough opponent, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Rockets must treat this team as a championship-level opponent, because according to the original future, the Lakers did not win the championship this season, but they did. They made it to the finals again. Although they didn’t have Karl Malone this time, the original Karl Malone was in the playoffs because of the serious injury in the regular season. The influence of the team is not great. They are still a finals-level team and must be taken seriously.

Tom obviously also knows very well what kind of opponent this is. For this round of the series with the Lakers, he has practiced more than a dozen sets of tactics...

Yao Ming also carried out additional training in the past two days, mainly in basic skills.

Meeting an opponent of this magnitude with the Lakers is bound to be a competition at a critical moment, and at the critical moment of the game, the comparison is the psychological quality and basic skills of the players!

While the Rockets and the Lakers were preparing for the second round of the series, the other 6 groups of the series almost had results. The Pacers finally eliminated the Celtics with a 4-1 score. Paul Pierce was defeated in 5 games. Artest is limited enough, scoring 20 points per game looks good, but only one game has a field goal percentage of more than 40%, the game they won, and his field goal percentage in the other four games. All are below 40%.

It can be said that I went to grandma's house miserably!

Speaking of, Paul Pierce’s performance with the team alone is not good, only the first round, and at this time, the outside world’s evaluation of him is only an "All-Star player"...

The rise in his reputation is completely after Boston formed the "Big Three", especially after winning the 2008 Finals. The outside world's evaluation of him suddenly rose to a higher level. What "truth", what "offensive kaleidoscope", Suddenly he became the top three small forward in the league.

It can be seen that a championship trophy can really improve a player's reputation!

It can be said that if it weren't for the 2008 championship, Paul Pierce's final historical status would be similar to that of Marshburn, who was just reimbursed by the Hornets.

After all, before the formation of the Big Three in Boston, his greatest honor was just “not dead with 11 knives in his body”. He didn't make the best team, and didn't win any data king. It really wasn't an “offensive kaleidoscope”.

Just look at this round of the series and you can see that it was repaired by Artest so subdued, not at all temperamental.

The Pistons also eliminated the New York Knicks 4-1. After the team confirmed the promotion, Chris Webber said in front of the camera: "I am still enjoying the playoffs and losing my team. Now I have returned. Go fishing!"

There is no need to say who is talking about this.

Since the last time he scored 50 points against the Kings, Chris Weber has been so mean to the Kings several times, but there is no media to complain about Chris Weber as "too stingy." After all, the media in Sacramento were really too mean. As far as their description of Chris Weber is concerned, he is completely the most garbage player in the history of the Kings, but in fact, Chris Weber’s years with the Kings have been the peak seasons in the history of the Kings. Reese Weber gained power and ridiculed him back. In the eyes of this group of media, it should be!

There are even media that think Chris Webber is not harsh enough!

The New York Knicks went home to go fishing after the first round. This did not arouse much discussion. Given their strength this season, it is normal for them to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

In fact, if this year's Eastern Conference is not too bad, how could this season's New York Knicks make it into the playoffs!

As the general manager, Thomas was ambitious. When the Knicks were eliminated, he said through the media: "Another season is over. We have undergone some adjustments. I believe that everyone will see the adjustments next season. How good we are!"

When Yao Ming saw Thomas's words, he was drinking milk and directly sprayed it out. There was no way. To him who knew the future situation of the Knicks, Thomas's words were too funny!

The New York Knicks in the next two or three years will be too "excellent"!

The Nets and the Bucks are still fighting. After the two teams were tied 2-2, the Nets won the battle of Tianwangshan with difficulty. It was the most difficult round of the series in the first round of the Eastern Conference. The Bucks The team proved with actual results that they chose the Nets for no reason!

After 5 games, the Heat successfully eliminated the Hornets 4-1!

He also became the only player among the top five players in the first round of the "Golden Generation" in 2003 who is still struggling in the playoffs.

As a rookie, Dwyane Wade is actually the luckiest of the top five players of the 03 generation.

Although LeBron James was the core when he entered the team, the team even sent him away the original team boss Ricky Davis, but there is still the problem. The departure of Ricky Davis makes LeBron James lack enough. Helper, the Cavaliers ultimately failed to make the playoffs, part of the reason for this;

Milicic will not say much, even if it is placed in the entire history of the NBA, it is regarded as the worst-paying second-best player;

Chris Bosh's treatment is obviously not as good as LeBron James and Wade. In the team's tactical position, Vince Carter is ahead of him. Of course, this is also normal. After all, this is Vince Carter! How can a few "vote kings" put a rookie under him?

The only thing that can be compared with Wade in terms of team configuration and management attention is Carmelo Anthony. The configuration of the Nuggets is not bad, even compared to the Heat, and the team management is sufficient. Paying attention to Carmelo Anthony, it can be seen from the game that this guy has unlimited right to fire! But this guy was unlucky. He met the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. Second, his character caused the whole team to sacrifice too much for him. To put it a bit good "filial piety", he assigned the Nuggets to Le Brown James, LeBron James can also make the playoffs...

However, with this analysis, Wade is not only lucky, but his own character is also his help!

In other words, this also made him the first person to win a championship ring among the "03 generations".

Carmelo Anthony, who had a big character problem, ended up with no results.

It can be seen that for a player’s career, character may be more important than talent...

In other words, up to now in the Eastern Conference, only the Nets and Bucks have yet to separate results, and the other three groups have had final results.

The situation in the West is not much different from that in the East. The Rockets and Lakers have eliminated their opponents, and the Timberwolves have eliminated the Grizzlies 4-1.

As Yao Ming expected, Kevin Garnett, who was at his peak, repaired Pau Gasol miserably. But there is no way, who makes Kevin Garnett best at fighting against technical insiders?

In front of his "long-footed spider" wingspan, any technique is paperless and there is no threat at all.

The only player in the Western Conference that has not yet decided the outcome is the Spurs vs. Mavericks.

The two teams also just finished the "Battle of Tianwangshan". The Spurs won with difficulty, but the next game is the Mavericks' home field. In the 9 games that the Spurs and the Mavericks have played this season, they only won at the Mavericks' home field. After a game, and it was still a regular season event, the two away games in the playoffs ended in their losses, so whether the Spurs can win the next game, it really has to be said.

Anyway, as far as the outside media is concerned, there is a high probability that this round of the series will play a "tie-in tie."

However, in Yao Ming's view, this is normal. If the "Bull and Horse War" is not "Tie-Seven", would it be so exciting?

With the success of several other series gradually divided, the Lakers also officially arrived in Houston from Los Angeles, and the second round of the Rockets series is about to begin.

Before the game, the Houston media and the Los Angeles media once again fought a "war of words". With the increasing number of quarrels, they can now argue too much, and the quarrel between the two sides is like two girls quarreling. Always turn over old accounts...

Just talking about turning over old accounts, Houston can be too talkative:

"How many times have you beaten us recently?"

"Who is the final winner of the Christmas War, remember?"

"Remember this year's All-Star Weekend, who made Kobe the last appearance?"

In the past two seasons, the Rockets have won the game with the Lakers. It can be said that they have won "numb"-they have won numb. This makes their tone very tough, and even gave Los Angeles a "Three Questions Los Angeles". ".

And their last question, directly to the Los Angeles media, broke the defense!

This year’s All-Star Weekend will be held in Los Angeles for the first time in 51 years, but after the event, I really have to ask the people of Los Angeles how they feel. It must be not very good. For proud Los Angeles fans, there is only one at home. Players were selected to start, and the All-Star "vote king" is not a Los Angeles player. It is really a shameful thing. This is why they rarely mention this All-Star Weekend after the All-Star Weekend, even if O'Neal eventually becomes I won the MVP of this All-Star Game, but in their opinion, this is all "let" out by others!

The poor are not affected by food, and Los Angeles does not accept the "All-Star MVP".

Los Angeles is asked by Houston, can it not break the defense?

They began to counterattack hysterically, but, I don’t know if it was because Yao Ming let Kobe play last on the All-Star weekend attracted their favor. Not many people in the Los Angeles media attacked him this time...

This makes him a little uncomfortable!

Haha, in a hurry!

The Houston media looked at the hysterical appearance of the Los Angeles media, full of sense of accomplishment.

Just ask the entire U.S., which city's media can make the Los Angeles media so break-through?

Just their Houston media!

Hum hum!

Their quarrel, not to mention the others, the tense atmosphere is coming out anyway!

Finally, in the eyes of everyone's attention, the Rockets and Lakers game day officially arrived.

However, before the game time officially arrived, the Rockets received a good news. It's not that anyone on the Lakers was injured... In other words, even if such news comes out before the game, it is generally not happy. Who knows that this is true Yes, or just a "smoke bomb"?

The good news that the Rockets received was related to Tom. The league officially announced the "Season's Best Head Coach Award" and "Season's Best General Manager Award" for this season.

Tom became the winner of this "Head Coach of the Season Award".

In fact, Tom was already eligible for this award last season, but he missed too many games, and he finally missed the award.

Fortunately, it is yours that belongs to you, you can't run away! This season Tom won the final "Head Coach of the Season Award".

He has also become the rare head coach in the NBA to win the championship first and then the "Head Coach of the Season Award". Although this award is not a big improvement to him, it can be regarded as enriching his head coach resume...

"The Best General Manager of the Season Award" was eventually taken by "Big Bird" Larry Bird.

With the dismissal of Thomas Jr. during the offseason last year, the hiring of Rick Carlisle, and the mid-season trade to Rasheed Wallace, the Pacers eventually became the second-best team in the regular season and successfully won the first place in the Eastern Conference. The throne... to get the "general manager of the season", for Larry Bird, it is worthy of his name.

There are also those who are not well-deserved, but have also entered the final list of candidates for the "General Manager of the Season". For example, Dawson, who won the "General Manager of the Season Award" last year, was nominated this year. The shortlist for the award.

Originally, the Rockets signed this summer, but Dawson's entry into this list is actually quite normal.

But the problem is that this year’s Rockets’ signings have nothing to do with him. It’s all Yao Ming’s credit. He just handed over the contract according to Yao Ming’s promise. He didn’t do anything else. If he can continue to win the season "Best General Manager Award", then this award is too easy to win... Fortunately! This award was not given to him in the end, but to Larry Bird.

Otherwise, Yao Ming would be depressed. He did so hard to sign up last summer, but he didn't do it for cheap Dawson!

However, Dawson seemed very unconvinced that he did not win the award. He said through the media: "Unfortunately, sometimes not all results are satisfactory!"

Hmm...what a face!

Of course, this is just an episode. The series is just around the corner. The media didn't have much discussion about these two awards. Everyone focused on the upcoming battle between the Rockets and the Lakers.

Yao Ming saw the Lakers again. They only played one game in March after the "Christmas War". In that game, O'Neal took a rotation and they still won.

However, Yao Ming can feel it. Compared with that time, the Lakers obviously recovered more form. Faced with the boos of Houston, they were completely unaffected, and they were very engaged in pre-game. warm up.

This proves the combat literacy of this team.

Is it the team that has won the "three consecutive championships"!

Fortunately, Yao Ming saw Kobe and O'Neal deliberately avoiding each other, which made him feel relieved.

As long as the two brothers continue to quarrel, no matter what the combat literacy of this team is, for the Rockets, they will not be a **oss-level opponent.

And Tom just won the prize this morning. The reason the Rockets won today was added by 1. In terms of momentum, the Rockets are definitely no worse than the Lakers!

Soon, the game officially began. The Rockets started the game with a five-point difference and proved that Yao Ming's judgment before the game was not wrong. Their momentum tonight is indeed better than the Lakers!

Kobe started asking for the ball frequently.

Gary Payton hesitated, and finally gave him the ball.

In fact, he was going to give the ball to O'Neal. Since the beginning of the game, O'Neal has scored two shots into the basket, but Kobe Bryant made three shots and only hit one. In terms of efficiency, he should give the ball to O'Neal. That's right.

During the period, he also glanced at O'Neal, but he saw that the latter had no intention of asking for the ball, so he gave the ball to Kobe.

strangeness!

Giving the ball to Kobe, Payton looked at O'Neal again.

O'Neal seems a bit strange to him lately, but he can’t tell...

Kobe asked for the ball to face Lagabe, and it was not very smooth to get rid of.

After one season of experience, Lagarber has made significant progress on the defensive end, especially after he has played more and more with the main flanks of other teams, his defensive experience has also been significantly more, and there are more and more. Experts are saying that this season Lagabe has a good reason to enter the best defensive team, even if it is not a first team, it is enough to enter the second team!

Kobe also feels that Lagabe is more difficult than before!

But he, the "Peter Pan", one of the "Big Four Shooting Guards", could he be restricted so easily?

Just your defense, right?

Come and see how far you can push me!

Kobe's movements then became more rapid, shaking left and right, all kinds of movements on his hands and feet kept on, Lagabe was also considered good enough, he was stuck with him for five or six seconds, but this The guy was Kobe, Lagabe didn't pay attention, or he was swayed aside, Kobe shot directly.

"Dang!"

Then he vividly interprets what is called "the action is beautiful and picturesque, with a basket of iron". No, the shake was very successful, but the ball still bounced out of the frame in the final shot.

Yao Ming protected the rebound.

Lagabere let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't get in!

If Kobe finally scored this ball, it would be a big blow to him.

After all, he was guarded like this...

The Rockets launched a counterattack and successfully completed the attack again.

With the opening lead, the Rockets had opened a 6-point gap by 5 minutes and 45 seconds of the first quarter.

Phil Jackson called a timeout.

Tom obviously didn't expect this game to go so smoothly. After all, it was the Lakers who played tonight. He originally thought that it would be a good start to have a stalemate.

Unexpectedly!

It went so smoothly and opened the score...

So Tom didn't do anything during this timeout, so he patronized the compliment.

Yao Ming was also a little surprised. Like Tom, he didn't expect to be able to widen the point difference at the beginning. The dominance of the "OK" combination is absolutely invincible when they have sufficient physical fitness.

Is there a time when you have more energy than the start?

Unexpectedly, they were stunned to open up the points difference at the beginning.

The atmosphere on the Lakers side is much more serious than the Rockets.

Phil Jackson changed his "chicken soup" speech and said directly: "Guys, we need to change our style of play. The opponent has a lot of defense on the outside this time, and we should attack the inside!"

Kobe frowned at his words.

This is plain, don't you still hand the ball to O'Neal?

cut!

It's the "Kobe" era now, and I was still thinking about giving the ball to Shaq... This guy really doesn't trust me! Forgot how you won the last round of the series?

In the last round of the series against the Kings, Kobe averaged 29 points per game. If only looking at the average points per game, not looking at the shooting percentage and the number of shots, he is higher than O'Neal. O'Neal is in five games with the Kings. In, he averaged only about 26 points per game... From this perspective, Kobe is definitely the biggest contributor to the Lakers' elimination of the Kings.

It is also the easy elimination of the inextricably intractable opponents they fought in the 2002 playoffs, and Kobe firmly believes that now this set of play is the answer for the Lakers to return to the top of the league!

As for what the current game is, it can be summed up in one sentence... Give the ball to Kobe!

Kobe immediately said: "Head coach Phil, now is the best way for the Lakers to play. Give the ball to me and I can solve the problem!"

You can solve a dei!

Didn’t you see that you only scored one goal since the start?

Didn't you hear me say that the opponent has deployed a lot of defense on the perimeter?

You have to keep playing with the ball!

Are you taking what I said as fart?

Phil Jackson's mentality is already very good, but after listening to Kobe's words, he almost screamed directly. Now Kobe's attitude is so tough that he is a little speechless!

I didn’t say that I was obedient to him before, but I suggested that he would listen to him five or six times ten times. What about now? No matter what you say, he has only one sentence, give me the ball!

This is so terrible, I can't communicate at all!

What makes Phil Jackson even more angry is...

He glanced at O'Neal.

This guy didn't say a word during the whole process!

Yes, this is what makes Phil Jackson even more angry.

I'm fighting for you the right to the ball, you have something to say!

How do you feel like you are like the pastors in the church, everything is calm and calm!

Strange, Shaq didn't say a word?

Gary Payton finally realized what was wrong with him all the time-Shaq O'Neal seems to have not quarreled with Kobe for a long time, right?

Now basically as long as Kobe wants to get the ball, O'Neal will never want the ball.

What does he want to do?

Gary Payton doesn’t understand...

Is it possible that Kobe has already planned to be the second master?

Gary Payton thought about this and looked at O'Neal again, just looking at his expression and thinking about his actions on the court, he didn't think this guy had such thoughts.

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have time to think more at this moment, because the timeout was over!

The Lakers are back on the court.

The first offense was Kobe's singles.

"Huh!"

This time, he hit!

After scoring the goal, he subconsciously glanced at Phil Jackson, and he seemed to say, see if you see it, give me the ball, it is the best choice...

Phil Jackson's expression did not change much, he did not relax because Kobe scored this goal.

In fact, he is very clear that his timeout did not have the effect it should have. Originally, after his timeout, the Lakers' offensive focus should return to the inside, instead of continuing to play outside as it is now...

Unexpectedly, this child turned out to be like this in the end!

Looking at Kobe's back, Phil Jackson couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

He never thought he had players that he couldn’t control. Of course he had this mentality. It’s normal. He had worked with Michael Jordan, and he had tamed Rodman, a thorn that can’t be tamed by Vicki. He thinks It's normal to have the ability to coach players that no one else can match!

Unfortunately, he met Kobe!

For a moment, he regretted that he had instigated the relationship between the "OK" combination, and he had to admit that he was stupid! Think about it, too, how can a player so paranoid as Kobe be willing to stay behind?

He shouldn't have let Kobe eat apples in advance, because this guy will eat them sooner or later!

There won't be a situation that even he can't control now!

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

Phil Jackson was obviously right that he did not relax. Kobe, who scored the first goal, ran into trouble again. From the beginning, it can be seen that his condition tonight is not very good. In addition, the Rockets have been targeting In the defense, Kobe can score two goals with one goal, but he really can't continuously hit the ball into the basket, taking on the task of scoring the team!

Because of his continuous ironing, the Lakers were 10 points behind at the end of the first quarter!

This difference is quite unexpected!

Kobe is the main person responsible for the Lakers' lagging behind. This also makes his face calm when he leaves the field... His eyes also flashed a rare struggle. Under normal circumstances, this is not what he would appear. Emotions, as far as his character is concerned, he will not doubt any of his choices.

But at this moment, UU read www.uukanshu. Com is struggling a bit. He knows that his form tonight is not very good. At this time, the best choice is to give the ball to his teammates, such as... O'Neal.

It's not that he is afraid to shoot.

"Mamba's famous saying" has said: I would rather 0 for 30 shots than 9 shots which means you have been defeated by yourself!

He will never be afraid of taking a shot, but he also knows that he has to make some adjustments to find his hand, so as to strengthen his personal offense and reverse the decline in one fell swoop.

This is his idea.

As the absolute core, there is no problem with this style of play.

But the problem is that the Lakers are 10 points behind. What if he cedes the ball to O'Neal, if he makes the latter misunderstand that this is because he is subdued?

He finally won the ball. If he returned it like this, he would definitely not be able to accept it!

After a short period of thinking, Kobe has an answer: I want to... continue to vote!
