The Godfather of Basketball

The two sides completed the warm-up before the game, but did not immediately enter the starting introduction.

Before the start of the second game of the two series, there will be an award ceremony.

As early as the fourth round of the first round of the Rockets, the league has announced the winner of the regular season MVP, but the award ceremony did not take place until this game.

The players of the two teams moved to their respective bench seats, and a table was brought up to the staff in the center of the stadium. On the table, there were regular season MVP trophies.

A brass-made villain poses on the black base in a dribble run.

Such a small trophy is something that all players in the league dream of.

The lights around the scene began to dim, and the main lights were focused on the center of the court.

The trophy in the spotlight is dazzling.

In the dark, fans at the scene couldn't help but whistle and cheer.

You should know that the last time the team had a player elected MVP, it was Olajuwon in the 93-94 season.

League president David Stern appeared in the spotlight, and he picked up the microphone and said something to thank the fans.

In the process, Yao Ming was called out by the staff.

"The most valuable player in the 2007 ~ 2008 regular season, Yao Ming."

Stern said, picking up the trophy and handing it to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming turned to the trophy, shook hands with Stern and expressed his gratitude, and then held the trophy high in the air.

Deafening cheers rang out at the scene.

"Yao Ming! Yao Ming!"

How neat the cheers are, it shows how much they love Yao Ming.

After Olajuwon, another dominant center.

The cheers lasted for more than half a minute. When the cheers fell, the supporters on the side handed the microphones to Yao Ming.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Alexander, thank you Mr. Morey, thank you coach Tang Tian, ​​thank you all the Rockets staff, thank you Rockets fans who are present and not present, thank you all, thank you for your support, I love you . "

Yao Ming's first sentence drew more cheers from the scene.

Tang Tian also reached out to applaud at this time. Yao Ming's EQ, even in the NBA, was quite outstanding.

Yao Ming followed up with his award speech, telling about the things he experienced after entering the NBA, sad and moved, progress and hard work.

This sentiment came from the heart, many fans burst into tears when they heard it.

"In the end, I want to thank my coach Tang Tian in particular."

With Yao Ming's voice, the lights were divided into the Rockets' bench.

Tang Tian didn't expect Yao Ming to mention him separately, which was a little unexpected.

"All of us know that the Rockets' achievements today are inseparable from him, and I can all win this trophy thanks to his gift, you know, my data will become meaningless if the Rockets are not the league's first . "

The scene was followed by cheers and cheers, followed by applause.

Tang Tian's contribution to the city over the past two years has been most deeply felt by the fans.

"So coach, more than half of this trophy is yours. If you want, I can give him to you. Anyone knows that I am the MVP."

Yao Ming's words immediately attracted another burst of laughter from the fans on the spot.

"You don't have to worry about misunderstandings. There is no name written on it anyway."

Yao Ming's words then made the entire Toyota Center laugh.

Tang Tian also laughed, this joke was a bit cold.

"Finally, thank you all, thank you."

Yao Ming lifted the trophy into the air after speaking, and the cheering and whistle of the mountain and tsunami exploded instantly.

In an award ceremony, the atmosphere at the scene has reached its peak without deliberately creating it.

At the end of the awards ceremony, Yao Ming took the trophy to the Rockets halftime.

At this moment, the scene shot to the Hornets half-time, Paul looked slightly enviously towards Yao Ming.

There was a cheer at the scene.

Paul realized that he was on the big LED screen, and then looked back.

After the award ceremony, the introduction was followed.

The Hornets continued the start of their last game.

The Rockets made some substitution adjustments here, and Tang Tian replaced Battier with Pietrus.

Pietrus is the second player. This adjustment means that McGrady swings to the third position.

"What does this adjustment mean?" Looking at the Rockets' lineup adjustment, Brin of the commentary couldn't help but discuss with Jackson beside him.

"I don't quite understand. Battier's defense against Peja worked well last time. Let T-mac defend this time?" Jackson cast doubts.

"And the Hornets' Peterson's offensive ability is average, and Pietrus seems a bit redundant, right?" Brin continued.

The two discussed for a while, and they didn't figure out the specific purpose of the Rockets adjustment.

As the two talked, the starters of both sides came on stage, and the Hornets and Rockets played the second game of the series.

Yao Ming returned the ball to the Rockets' halftime and took the initiative to get the lead ~ www.readwn.com ~ Billups advanced to the frontcourt, but unlike the previous games, he did not hand over the ball to Yao Ming Instead, it was handed directly to McGrady, followed by signalling his teammates to open up space.

This is ready to take 1 to 1.

At this time, Brian and Jackson, the commentary, couldn't understand it, and the Rockets suddenly gave up their insistence on playing for one season.

Defending Tracy Peterson.

Tracy McGrady saw that the Hornets were not double-teamed and did not have any extra moves.

Change direction, speed up, emergency stop, breakthrough, shot.

Peterson is a relatively low-profile 3D player, but at the peak, he was also an arrow figure defending the core of his opponent's offense, but he is now 30 years old and facing the peak of McGrady. The gap was when McGrady first started. Appeared.

This is a very limited emergency stop jumper.

"Oh!"

McGrady's dry pull steadily hit.

The Hornets' offense, Paul and West went straight to the basket after a pick-and-roll, facing a long-range throw from Millsap's defense.

"Oh!"

The ball also hit steadily, and Paul continued the good feel from the previous game to the front court.

"CP3 still feels good, this is not a good signal for the Rockets." After watching Paul's choice, Jackson followed.

If it was the usual Paul, he would never attack so easily. I do n’t know if the last crazy offensive took away the game, but because Yao Ming ’s award stimulated him, and he came up to beat the rhythm.

However, Jackson ’s words did n’t fall. The Rockets continued to open up space. After McGrady shook Peterson one-on-one and rushed to the inside before the defense was in place, it was a slam dunk.

McGrady's desire to score tonight seems to be strong!
