Legendary basketball manager

Little Gaso apparently did not expect that Yao Ming would choose such a rough way of attack.

After all, in the first two games, Dayao played more technically, and his offense was mostly hooks and fadeaways (of course, this is also related to the fact that the Rockets lead by a large margin most of the time).

But tonight, Xiao Jia faced an angry Yao Ming!

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

The little giant almost staggered Gasol in the first two hits.

The latter had an unstable center of gravity and was crushed into the three-second zone.

When Yao Ming gained power, he plucked green onions on the dry ground inside, and faced Xiao Jia with a slam dunk.

"BANG!"

The six-foot-nine Spanish bullfighter fell violently to the ground.

"tomato!"

Yao Ming, who has always been humble, roared passionately at this moment.

8:0, the Rockets continue to lead.

On the sidelines, Grizzlies coach Hollins frowned.

He never expected that the first game after returning home would have such a difficult start.

I thought, relying on the fanatical atmosphere created by the fans at the scene, to have a wave of blitzkrieg, to lay some advantages for the follow-up games...

Fortunately, the Rockets punched down with a combination of punches, not only the fans were silent, but even the Grizzlies players were a little at a loss.

But now the opening is less than 2 minutes, it seems too early to call a timeout.

The point is... Hollins doesn't know what adjustments to make.

The state shown by the Rockets after the opening seems to be unstoppable at all!

While Hollins was hesitating, George was once again brilliant on the defensive end.

When he was shaken by Mayo's change of direction, with his amazing explosive power, he took off at the last moment to block the shot, and touched Mayo's shot with his fingertips.

Mayo's emergency stop mid-range shot became a non-stick.

Griffin at the basket reacted quickly and took control of the ball immediately.

The Rockets get a chance to fight back!

The Grizzlies reacted quickly and immediately adjusted to a defensive state.

There are defenders in front of Curry and McGrady. Griffin couldn't find the target to pass the ball for a while, so he simply dribbled forward by himself.

And Randolph, who was facing him, also gritted his teeth and started to defend from the backcourt.

The bad start has already pushed the big black bear into a hurry!

In normal times, he might also chase back, but he would never start to defend from the backcourt with such a heavy weight.

However, in the NBA arena, many times you can't solve the problem with all your efforts.

Like now...

Randolph's first grab was Griffin's change of direction.

The big black bear did not give up, turned around, and stretched out his hand to the basketball again.

Unexpectedly, Griffin took advantage of the situation and turned around, once again making Randolph clean.

Afterwards, give Lifen an acceleration to shake him off completely.

After coming to the Grizzlies halftime, Griffin did not rush to the basket, but slowed down a little to observe the running positions of his teammates.

Soon, he noticed McGrady following up from the right.

Griffin flicked his wrist and delivered the ball to the latter accurately.

After receiving the ball, McGrady faced Mayo's defense and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

11: 0.

The Rockets continue to expand their lead!

Seeing this, Hollins finally couldn't hold back and called for a timeout.

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

At the same time, Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, was also watching the dynamics of the game through TV.

"Looks like there's going to be a bloody case today..."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

He is very satisfied with the excited state of the players.

If you grizzly dare to intentionally hurt someone, don't blame me for being cruel!

Moreover, after a teammate is injured, the whole team can burst out with greater energy than before, which is a manifestation of team unity.

Shen Fei even planned to use a card [If God Helps] at the right time to make the team members excited, and see if they can create a record of points difference by the way.

If it succeeds, the opponents of the Rockets will have to weigh the possible price when they use their brains!

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

During the timeout, the Rockets made substitution adjustments: Griffin rested and Ben Wallace replaced him.

There are two reasons for such an early substitution.

One is that after the opening game, Griffin spent a lot of energy to defend Randolph alone.

Although the effect was very good, the young man exerted too much force, and there were some physical problems in his body at this time.

The second is that Wallace expressed a strong desire to play to Mark Jackson after the last game.

For this reason, Mark Jackson also specially told Daben: "I understand your eagerness to fight, and I also support it very much, but the playoffs are of great importance, and you must not make extraordinary moves."

Big Ben nodded decisively.

Who is he?

Back then, one of the leaders of the Bad Boys Legion pushed Peak Artest into autism, but he himself was not punished too much.

He knows how to "punish" his opponent within a reasonable range!

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

Soon, the timeout ends and the game continues.

Grizzlies attack.

This time, they still chose the safest way - to hand the ball to Randolph inside.

Throughout the season, the Grizzlies made this choice almost every time they encountered difficulties.

It's just that Randolph is now facing Ben Wallace's defense!

The moment the big black bear caught the ball, he felt a huge force coming from behind him.

The main reason is that the tonnage is as heavy as Randolph, and he was almost staggered by Big Ben from behind him.

After finally stabilizing his center of gravity, Randolph turned to look at the referee at the bottom line.

Obviously, he hoped that the referee would call Big Ben's defensive foul.

But Ben Wallace, an old Jianghu, has a very subtle defensive action, and the position of the shot is very good-the referee's sight is just blocked by Randolph's body, and he didn't see Ben Wallace who was exerting force from behind.

Randolph wanted to complain to the referee, but a black hand suddenly appeared behind him, cutting the ball away with one palm.

The one who made the move was naturally Ben Wallace!

After completing the steal, he swooped forward to control the ball, and immediately handed the ball to Curry beside him.

After getting the ball on the 30th, the Rockets quickly advanced and went straight to the hinterland of the Grizzlies.

At the same time, George and McGrady followed up from both sides.

The Rockets played a skillful third-line fast break!

However, the Grizzlies also retreated very quickly. In fact, there are three players who are located in the left, center and right, corresponding to the defense.

In the blink of an eye, Curry had a bold idea.

I saw him facing to the right, but with a light flick of his right wrist to the left, a freehand pass behind the back and No-look-pass found McGrady on the left.

When T-MAC received the ball, the attention of all three Grizzlies players was directed to the other side by Curry.

McGrady smiled slightly, took off with both feet, and his body was like a fully drawn bow in the air...

"BANG!"

A light and unrestrained one-handed battle ax made the Grizzlies' home court as quiet as a graveyard.

13: 0.

At this point, if a camera shines on the stands, you will see the desperate expressions on the faces of a large number of Grizzlies fans.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

The Grizzlies changed tactics and started the offense with Conley.

With the help of Gasol's screen, Conley successfully broke through to the free throw line and made an emergency stop for a mid-range shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

13:2, the Grizzlies finally broke the deadlock!

Rocket attack.

Yao Ming once again asked for the ball in the low post.

Curry threw the ball in one hit and ran along the baseline himself.

Gasol Jr. is focused and ready to defend.

But when Yao Ming passed by Curry, he passed the ball hand-in-hand and gave the ball to Curry.

After Curry got the ball, he made an easy layup.

15:2, the Rockets continue to lead.

Gasol wanted to complain about the defense with his teammates, but when he turned around, he accidentally glanced at Mayo who was stealing a fast break from the corner of his eye.

He rushed to the bottom line, took the basketball from the referee, and then with a big wave of his hand, a pass across the half court found a running teammate.

Mayo jumped and caught the pass.

At this moment, his front was wide open.

[Let this ball become the starting point for the counterattack! ]

Mayo thought so.

Ever since, he took off with both feet with all his strength, wanting to make a dunk.

But just before Mayo was about to complete the dunk, Big Ben appeared behind him at some point.

"Snapped!"

A big hand appeared out of thin air, pressing the basketball in Mayo's hand against the backboard!

Nail board big hat!

"woo..."

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

Some Grizzlies fans who got up to celebrate, turned their hands back in front of them and covered the back of their heads.

After completing the block, Big Ben handed the ball to Curry who rushed back to the half court, then turned and glared at Mayo.

Mayo had just been humiliated by hot pot, and was provoked again at this time.

An unknown fire burst out from his heart.

As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

Mayo actually stretched out his hands and pushed towards Big Ben fiercely.

But before his hands touched Big Ben's body, the latter clapped his palms down...

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

Mayo was staggered and almost fell to his knees.

Immediately afterwards, he only felt a burning pain in his hands.

And this pain will soon disappear and become a "numbing" feeling.

Soon, Mayo's hands turned from black to red, and the effect was very obvious.

This huge force also made Mayo wake up from his anger instantly.

The original brain was forced to restart.

"Beep!"

In the distance, the referee's whistle sounded in due course.

When he arrived at the "scene of the crime", Da Ben was raising his hands high in a gesture of surrender with an innocent expression.

The referee didn't know what happened, but subconsciously felt that Mayo had been "beaten", so he hurried to the middle of the two, trying to protect Mayo.

"He did it."

Ben Wallace said coldly.

"Okay, I'll check the replay later."

The referee seemed to be a little afraid of Daben, so he quickly spoke to appease him.

And Mayo looked at the red hands expressionlessly, as if he had been beaten.

Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, saw this scene through the TV, and couldn't help but think of the Auburn Hills Palace incident that year.

At that time, after being pushed by Da Ben, Artest's brain also crashed, and he stayed on the technical stage for a while.

If he hadn't been woken up by the fans' drinks, he might have been down for a long time.

"Perhaps this is the fear that humans feel when they feel a power far beyond expectations..."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

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

The referee decisively stopped the game and went to the technical platform to check the replay.

Soon he saw the scene of Mayo getting angry after being capped.

"It's really Mayo who made the first move. This kid is really brave..."

The referee couldn't help sighing.

Immediately afterwards, he studied Ben Wallace's stress response.

The opponent made the first move, but Da Ben's counterattack action just patted the attacking hand...

Such an action is a bit reluctant to give a technical foul.

The referee weighed again and again, and finally gave Mayo a technical foul, and Big Ben escaped punishment.

As soon as this penalty came out, Mayo, who had been in a daze, woke up like a dream!

"Is there any mistake, referee? He hit me, I'm the victim! Look at my hand, it's still red!"

Mayo stretched out his hands to the referee, feeling a little agitated.

The referee looked down carefully.

Hey, this hand is not only red, but even a little swollen.

It can be seen from this, how ruthless Da Ben is when he shoots down like this!

But he has already made a penalty, so it is naturally impossible to change the sentence easily.

"After all, it was you who made the first move. Ben's action, it seems, was just an expression of self-defense."

The referee explained.

"But...I..."

Mayo was suffering and couldn't tell, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

But the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, so he continued to chatter with the referee.

The referee's patience was quickly exhausted, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly gave Mayo a second technical foul.

"???"

When the referee made a T, Mayo was stunned.

Two technical fouls mean he will be ejected directly.

[Obviously I was beaten, but now I am sent off? !Is there still a way to play?Is there still a law? ]

Mayo growled in his heart.

He also wanted to argue with the referee, and other Grizzlies players quickly stopped him.

After another 2 minutes, Mayo left the court "reluctantly" and left through the player channel.

The Grizzlies fans didn't even applaud him when he left the field.

After Mayo came off the field, Big Ben walked to the free throw line and executed a technical free throw.

He has always been a poor free throw, but he made two free throws steadily!

And this free throw has become a microcosm of a normal game.

In the following games, the Rockets firmly controlled the situation and led by a large score from beginning to end.

At the end of the third quarter, they had led the Grizzlies by as much as 40 points!

In the last quarter, the Grizzlies coach held high the white flag and surrendered.

Seeing this, Mark Jackson also removed all the main players and replaced them with the third team.

During the "garbage" time of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies players performed extraordinarily "polite" without any outrageous actions.

Shen Fei, who originally planned to make a big news, did not redeem [If God Helps] after seeing the attitude of the Grizzlies players.

Not that he is magnanimous, but... unnecessary!

This game has been won with a [-]% score, there is no need to waste reputation points to buy cards.

Moreover, even if a certain player is out of form because of [if there is God's help], he may not work hard under such a disparity in the score.

Nine times out of ten, this piece of [If God Helps] will not bring you any benefits.

It's better to let nature take its course and let the role players play by themselves, maybe they can also play good results.

After all, the strength of the Rockets' third team is also very terrifying!

And the development of the competition was similar to what Shen Fei expected.

Relying on the advantage in configuration, the Rockets continued to expand their score advantage in the fourth quarter.

When the red light on the timer came on, the score was fixed at 142:90.

The Rockets beat the Grizzlies by as many as 52 points in the away game, which also turned the series' big score into 3:0!

With just one more win, they can advance to the second round.

This may be a small step for the Rockets, but for McGrady, it may mean a big step!

Although he said he didn't care about the spell, such an embarrassing record was unacceptable for any super giant.

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

After the game, Rockets fans excitedly shared their joy on major social platforms.

Just as their discussion was in full swing, the NBA officially announced the season awards such as first team and first defense on Twitter!
