The Godfather of Basketball

"Your judgment will cause conflict, do you think so?" Tang Tian walked to the sidelines and shouted at the referee.

The referee glanced back at him and said nothing.

At this moment, Boozer hit McGrady on the head with an elbow in a breakthrough.

Tracy McGrady is not a nice guy like Battier, so he gave Boozer a hard push.

Boozer was pushed to the ground, and the players on both sides rushed together instantly.

A conflict is about to ensue.

Fortunately, the referee's reaction was relatively quick, and he rushed into the crowd immediately to pull the players of the two teams apart.

"Is this what you want? Is this the result you want?" Tang Tian was a little emotional. If McGrady was injured in the first round, all his previous preparations would be in vain.

"I know, calm down, calm down." The referee's expression was obviously different at this time, and he just signaled Tang Tian to calm down.

After the players on both sides were separated, the referee went back to the technical stage to watch the replay.

After watching the replay, the referee gave the final penalty.

Boozer received a second-degree flagrant foul and was ejected directly.

When the penalty came out, the Jazz were in an instant uproar, and Sloan kept yelling at the referee.

At this time, Tang Tian stretched out his hands and applauded amidst the cheers of the fans.

Boozer's foul should be between the first-level malicious foul and the second-level malicious foul.

Clearly, his pressure has worked.

But this is just a warning, to avoid such dangerous actions in the next game.

Sloan was finally pushed back to the half court by the referee, and the penalty did not change.

When Boozer left the field wrapped in a towel, he was booed by more than 10,000 fans at the scene. From speaking before the game to being expelled, this was destined to be an "unforgettable" night for him.

The Rockets made two free throws.

After Yao Ming hit two free throws steadily, the Rockets still had the ball.

After the game continued, it was obvious that the defensive actions of the Jazz players were much cleaner. This is the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

Without those small moves, the Rockets' offensive end is obviously much smoother.

By the time Battier healed his injury and returned to the court, the game was basically over at halftime.

"An incredible game, the Rockets showed their championship temperament in the first half of the season, and the Jazz had no power to parry." Brin said at the halftime summary.

"Yes, Boozer's expulsion just gave them an excuse to lose." Jackson nodded in agreement.

In the end, the Rockets beat the Jazz 118-87 in the first game of the series and won the first victory of the series.

Yao Ming scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in only three quarters. McGrady hit 4 three-pointers and scored 24 points.

The best performer was Millsap, who played all four quarters and scored a team-high 29 points.

The second-round pick told the entire league in an amazing way that the Rockets were absolutely right in picking him.

With a big victory, the Rockets announced a strong comeback, and the media began to regard him as the object of discussion again.

T.N.T, who was optimistic about the Rockets before the game, even made a large-scale report on the Rockets' outstanding performance.

"When you have Yao Ming and T-Mac, two top five superstars in the league, and a group of three-point shooters who can make you scalp explode, of course, the most important thing is a young but daunting head coach, the championship is still far away ?"

During T.N.T's bragging, the Rockets made persistent efforts and won the second victory of the series 110-90, taking a 2-0 lead with a big score.

Just like Mike Breen said in the commentary, whether Boozer is present or not can no longer change the strength gap between the two teams.

Rockets fans are more excited than ever.

The struggling performance in the second half of the season, although they knew it was a rotation, they were still very worried about the team. Now judging from the results, this kind of worry is completely unnecessary.

At the same time as the Rockets game, the Warriors also tied the Mavericks 1-1 with a big score, which surprised everyone and made many fans who bought gambling vomit old blood.

But this result made the people of Houston very happy.

If the Warriors miraculously eliminate the Mavericks in the end, then the Rockets will have one less rival. This is lying down and entering the Western Conference Finals. Even if it doesn’t happen in the end, it will definitely benefit the Rockets if they consume more than half of the Mavericks’ physical strength. ah.

The word championship began to appear in the mouths of fans.

This day of training, Tang Tian and Thibodeau had just finished discussing the plan for the next game. When they were walking to the training hall, they heard some shouts from time to time.

"Champions! We are champions!"

"Hey, that's my championship trophy, pass it to me!"

...

There was a burst of laughter in the training hall.

From the words, it can be felt that the mentality of the players is quite relaxed.

Tang Tian walked into the training hall and saw that only Yao Ming, Battier, and Howard were training, and most of the players were sitting on the sidelines chatting.

Alston and Wells even grabbed the "championship trophy" with basketballs.

No one even noticed that Tang Tian and Thibodeau came in.

It seems that this feeling is more than just easy.

Xibodu turned his head to look at Tang Tian, ​​and found that the latter's face was not very good-looking.

"Ahem!" He coughed dryly twice.

Only then did the players notice that the coach was coming.

"Wake them up." Tang Tian said to Thibodeau, and then walked straight to the venue.

Thibodeau stretched out his hand to say hello, and the team members came back one after another, and finally formed a circle around Tang Tian.

Most of the team members had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Tang Tian looked around and found that McGrady and Millsap hadn't come.

"Where are T-mac and Paul?" Tang Tian asked.

"They said they would be a little late." Novak said, obviously he was just passing on the word.

Tang Tian didn't ask any more questions, and didn't open his mouth again, but kept silent.

Only then did the team members gradually notice that Tang Tian's complexion was not good-looking, and all of them put away their smiles.

"After winning two games, do you think you can win the championship?" Tang Tian said coldly.

The team members were all silent, they rarely saw Tang Tian's expression like this.

"If that's the case, can every team win the championship? Or should the league make more trophies so that every team can get one?"

Alston laughed at what Tang Tian said, but immediately lowered his head after feeling Tang Tian's cold gaze.

"Do you know how many teams have been reversed 3-0 in NBA history?"

The team members looked at each other suspiciously, obviously they didn't know the answer.

"No." Tang Tian quickly answered.

This time several Rockets laughed.

"Funny, isn't it? But do you know how many teams have been reversed 2-0?"

"12." Tang Tian asked and answered this time.

"So, do you want to be the 13th team?"
