The Godfather of Basketball

Not only did they match up, but the lineups of both sides were exactly the same as in previous life memories.

It was an absolute coincidence, but it just happened.

Unless history maliciously goes astray, the black eight will definitely continue to be staged.

If you buy this odds, it will come in faster than any lottery.

If he is ruthless enough, he will have enough funds to fulfill his promise and start to make Hathaway popular.

And not betting on games related to the Rockets is not in violation of league regulations.

Swallowing, Tang Tian pointed to this pairing and said, "From my professional basketball perspective, it's more reliable to buy this."

"This? Isn't it? Although I don't pay much attention to the NBA, I know that the Mavericks made it to the finals last year, and this year they are number one in the league. The Warriors can't beat them at all." Hathaway stood up in surprise.

Because he was too close, Tang Tian received a soft "hit" on the head.

"So it's my professional vision." Tang Tian said without turning his head.

Hathaway's face turned slightly red, seeing that Tang Tian didn't respond, she continued, "Then I'll listen to you, I'll buy this one too."

"Um."

Tang Tian nodded, put down the newspaper, and continued, "Is it time to eat? Go help aunt."

"Ah? Oh." Hathaway turned and entered the room after speaking.

Seeing Hathaway go in, Tang Tian let out a long breath, then quickly got up and went to the toilet.

At that moment just now, his vigorous body had an instinctive reaction, and it would be embarrassing if Hathaway saw it.

On the night he returned to Houston, Tang Tian called the company's people to invest the working capital in the gaming website.

1 million bought the Warriors to win.

1 million bought the Warriors to win 4-2.

This is all the working capital of the company. For him, if he bets right, he will make a fortune. It doesn't matter if he loses the bet. With Swift's current ability to absorb money, he will be able to make it back sooner or later.

After investing the money, he stopped paying attention to this area, turned around and put all his energy into the next first round.

Rockets vs. Jazz.

Chinese fans are not familiar with this matchup. In the previous life, in the 06~07 season and 07~08 season, the two teams met in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and both times they lost with regret, becoming the eternal love in the hearts of fans. An unresolved knot.

Especially in the 06-07 season, the Rockets went to two cities first, but they were dragged to the tiebreaker by the Jazz, which was a pity to lose.

After crossing, the two teams still meet, this kind of coincidence can definitely be called fate.

It's just that this Rockets team is no longer that Rockets team. The addition of powerful role players like Millsap and Blake, as well as Tang Tian's offensive and defensive system for this team, have made this team happen. There has been a qualitative change.

Of course, the most important point is that the coach of this team is Tang Tian. He should not know too much about the strengths and weaknesses of the Jazz.

"Guys, play the way you have played for a season, the victory is yours, no matter what happens, don't panic, because I stand at the end of you."

Before the expedition, Tang Tian didn't have any bold words, but said these words in the calmest tone.

After hearing this, the Rockets players were also quite relaxed. After recharging their energy for most of the season, they were just waiting for the playoffs to start.

With an hour or so before the start of the game, players from both sides entered the field to warm up one after another.

The Jazz players also seemed very relaxed. Because of the rules, although they won 8 games less than the Rockets, they still have home court advantage.

Before the game, an ESPN reporter interviewed the Jazz's starting power forward Carlos Boozer.

"Carlos, the outside world thinks that the Jazz will lose this series. What do you think?"

"They're all wrong," Boozer said with a laugh. "They think that's because they don't know how good we are."

"Oh, you look very confident, can you tell me where your confidence comes from when you say that?"

"Everything, our pick-and-roll will make it difficult for the Rockets to parry, and our defense will completely suppress their defense. To be honest, I really can't find a reason for our loss." Boozer said without hesitation.

"Haha, I hope you can get your wish." The reporter said with a big laugh.

Seeing the reporter's reaction, Boozer also laughed, but his smile was more contemptuous.

Everyone underestimates the Jazz, but only he and his Jazz know that they are the final winners.

The home court of the Rockets was crowded with fans wearing jerseys sent by the home court. The entire Toyota Center was a sea of ​​red.

Amidst the tsunami of fans, the introduction of the starting players of both sides was completed on the spot.

The Rockets continued their regular-season lineup, with Blake and McGrady on the outside, Battier and Millsap on the front, and Yao Ming on the inside.

The Jazz here.

The starting point guard is Deron Williams, an All-Star and Jazz's "brain" on the field.

The starting shooting guard is Derek Fisher, who completed the classic lore in 0.4 seconds in the past.

The starting small forward is "AK47" Andrei Kirilenko with first-class defensive ability.

The starting power forward is Carlos Boozer, who can play inside and outside.

The starting center is Mehmet Okur, who is rare in the league with a three-point range.

The two sides are ready to start, Yao Ming and Boozer jump the ball.

Boozer jumped to possession for the Jazz.

Deron controlled the ball across the frontcourt and started the offense of the first round of the series between the two sides.

"Defend! Defend!"

The atmosphere of the Rockets' home court is quite high. The cheers of the fans have been deafening since the game started.

In fact, on the other side of the ocean, the ratings of CCTV-5 also reached an unprecedented peak when the game started.

In 2006, Deron was the top five point guards in the league, even the top three point guards. Facing the huge noise on the scene, he did not show any panic. After calling others to open up space, he took advantage of the situation and played a pick and roll .

Sloan's pick-and-roll follows the UCLA style of play, which is very simple and effective.

After this gear, Deron went in and Boozer went out. Deron glanced at the defense and returned the ball to Boozer in the high post.

Boozer faced Blake who was supplementing the defense, and directly shot a high mid-range shot.

"boom!"

The basketball went into the basket, and Boozer felt good when he came up.

The shouts of the fans stopped, and Boozer pretended to silence the audience at this time.

Everyone is not optimistic about the Jazz, and the reporter before the game is the same. Now from the first ball, he will prove everything wrong.
