Chapter 204 Death Battle Rocket
With 1 minute left in the game, the two sides were back on the same starting line again. No one wanted to play overtime, not even the fans who paid for tickets at the Toyota Center.
This time, McGrady asked for the ball directly from the half court. He didn't want to make an off-the-ball running request in the last few seconds, which was too unstable.
McGrady's dribbling is actually not bad. In the past, he rarely dribbled because he was lazy. Now he will naturally stand up at the critical moment.
In 1 minute, McGrady can choose to fast break, or he can choose to waste time. It can be said that the initiative is completely in his hands, and Xing Tian can only defend passively.
Xing Tian didn't relax for a moment, his eyes fixed on McGrady's eyes, trying to guess the opponent's attack method through the opponent's eyes, but Xing Tian thought a little too much.
No one could see anything from McGrady's dead fish eyes, not even someone like Xing Tian who was good at observing opponents could find anything from McGrady's eyes, except of course the gums.
McGrady's eyes kept turning, and suddenly he called for a breakthrough towards Xing Tian's left side.Naturally, Xing Tian wouldn't let McGrady break through so easily, he followed up with McGrady as soon as he exerted force on his feet.
But Maddy suddenly withdrew his strength and retracted his body, giving people a very strange feeling that Maddy was going to disguise himself.Xing Tian felt that he had moved to his right, but McGrady didn't disguise himself at all, but speeded up and broke through from Xing Tian's left.
McGrady didn't intend to disguise himself at all, but used the opponent's inertia and added his own rhythm.He directly left Xing Tian behind and watched McGrady take three big steps towards the basket.
Sure enough, I am still the strongest, no one can guard against me!McGrady was very excited, but the moment he threw the basketball out, a man wearing the No. 72 jersey flew over.
"Impossible! Impossible!" McGrady murmured. He watched the figure fly out very quickly, and the big yellow hand hit the basketball hard.
From the moment McGrady broke through, Sun Dasheng gave up his defender.Sun Dasheng believed that McGrady would never pass the ball to Murphy at this time. Instead, Sun Dasheng hit him in the face and blocked McGrady's basketball.
When Xing Tian saw Sun Dasheng's figure, he quickly ran to the frontcourt. Green Arrow Lenovo, who grabbed the rebound, didn't even think about it, and directly passed the ball to Xing Tian who came halfway.
A layup without any gorgeous, but at this time defeated the psychological defense of all fans.After Xing Tian scored two points, he yelled at Sun Dasheng frantically.
If it weren't for Sun Dasheng's unexpected block, the Chinese team would not have gotten this chance to lead.If the Chinese team wins this game because of this, then Sun Dasheng is the first!
"I knew this dead fish eye couldn't pass the ball!" Sun Dasheng laughed, enjoying the compliments from his teammates.
"Good shot, I won the game tonight, and I'll treat you to a crayfish when I return to Los Angeles!" Yao Ming was also very happy. He should have defended himself, but because of Olajuwon's position, Yao Ming couldn't move. step.
"Don't get excited, the game hasn't been won yet!" Xing Tian pulled his teammates, the Rockets did not choose to pause, but continued to make free throws.
Rudy walked up and down the sidelines, and McGrady, who played a good game, actually received a block from his opponent at a critical moment.Although McGrady cannot be blamed for this ball, Murphy will be blamed for most of it.
But the Rockets' hopes were placed on McGrady, so Rudy was very disappointed.So he made a gesture of hitting the inside line off the court.
When McGrady saw this gesture, his eyes dimmed.If the ball just now was not blocked, it would definitely score!But who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway.
McGrady doesn't blame Sun Dasheng, nor Xing Tian.If there is really one person to blame, then Jiu is their head coach, who actually canceled his right to attack at this time.
As a superstar, McGrady can't tolerate this kind of situation the most.He can accept defeat or victory, but he cannot accept such a situation.
Rudy didn't know that he lost a super small forward in a hurry today. Everyone has his own pride. McGrady's pride is that he would rather die standing up than be ignored by the coach.
But playing inside is indeed the Rockets' best tactic, and Murphy controlled the time.After passing the basketball a few times, Olajuwon got the basketball in a very suitable position.
Olajuwon pressed inside, and Yao Ming did not relax at all. The two have played against each other for three games, and they are very aware of each other's strength.
Turn around, turn around again.Olajuwon's dream dance began to dance, and Yao Ming was able to prevent it at first, but later Yao Ming found that the center of gravity of his feet had shifted.
In a tiny moment, Olajuwon seized the opportunity, made a big turn and pinned Yao Ming directly behind him, and made a very domineering one-handed dunk, scoring a two-pointer for the Rockets.
After scoring these two points, Olajuwon did not celebrate, but yelled at his teammates to defend!This is the role of Olajuwon's Rockets. Hearing his shouts, the fans in the audience shouted for defense together.
Facing such a Rockets team, Xing Tian naturally couldn't play fast.He took the basketball from his teammates very cautiously and slowly dribbled it across the frontcourt.
It was still Mai Di who appeared in front of Xing Tian, but his eyes no longer had those fiery fighting spirits, which made Xing Tian feel sad. If it wasn't for Zhang Lili, he might still be an unknown kid.
How important it is for a head coach who values himself. If Xing Tian can be where he is today, then Zhang Lili has at least half of the credit.
"This is not suitable for you, transfer next season!" Xing Tian couldn't help but said to McGrady, this is always Olajuwon's team, no matter what McGrady does, there is no way to replace Olajuwon's position.
"Eh?" Mai Di was stunned for a moment, but Xing Tian didn't take the opportunity to break through, but looked at Mai Di lightly.McGrady just nodded and didn't answer Xing Tian's words.
Xing Tian looked up, and there were more than 30 seconds left in the clock, and he had to score the ball into the opponent and he had another chance to attack.In fact, Xing Tian can also choose to fast break, so there may be a few seconds left later.
But professional basketball is not a game, and it is impossible to play such a nonsensical offense, for the sake of conservatism. When the 24 seconds were exhausted to 12 seconds, Xing Tian gestured to attack.
The Green Arrows waited for this time for a very long time. At the critical moment, the Chinese team's tactics were pick-and-roll, and they gave Xing Tian the opportunity to see if he could handle the ball by himself.
With the help of Green Arrow United's sudden pick-and-roll, Xing Tian directly entered the penalty area.The Green Arrows also cut in to his left.Instead, Yao Ming squeezed Olajuwon out of the restricted area at this time, leaving the restricted area empty.
Xing Tian chose to pass the ball at the first time, but he saw Moses Malone pounced towards the Green Arrows, and flew towards the basket with all his strength!
"Don't even think about it!" Moses Malone was actually just pretending to rush towards the Green Arrow United, but he was actually waiting for Xing Tian's strike.Immediately turned around and patted Xing Tian in the air.
Xing Tian was a little surprised. He didn't expect Moses Malone to hit east and west. However, he was very well prepared. He pulled the ball down to his stomach and waited for a gap in Malone before making a move.
