The Godfather of Basketball

The game on the court continued, and gradually, Jackson and Brin also discovered the problem.

Not only McGrady but the Hornets double-teamed, Pietrus and Millsap have also scored a bit more.

After the half-time game, Paul scored 26 points, breaking his own half-time scoring record, but the Hornets trailed the Rockets by 16 to 52.

"The defense of the Hornets is really terrible!" After watching the first half, Brin couldn't help but talk.

"Yes, I only found out, but the Rockets' ability to play in this way means that they have been set up before the game. The Rockets ... well, their head coach is Tang Tian." Jackson said he was helpless in the end Shaking his head.

Brin didn't answer at this time either. After glancing at Jackson, he smiled bitterly.

The Rockets' targeted tactics are not a matter of this season. Last season's Western Conference finals gave the Spurs the hottest title to win, not to mention facing a playoff Virgin Hornets.

The reporter interviewed before the game sat behind the commentary, listening to the exchange of the two commentaries, and then looking at the situation on the court, she finally understood what Tang Tian said in Chinese.

He forced him strong ...

In the second half, the Hornets couldn't find any solution. After three quarters, they were 25 points behind.

In the end, the Rockets won the Hornets 109-87 in the second game of the series, winning the second game of the series and tied the total score to 1: 1.

Paul played three quarters and contributed a career high of 38 points in the playoffs, but could not stand the collective outburst of the Rockets forward.

Tracy McGrady played an atypical game, contributing 23 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. He turned from a super scorer into an organization forward.

Millsap had 24 points and 7 rebounds, and his scoring also broke a new postseason high.

Even Pietrus and Shane Battier scored 14 and 12 points respectively.

A big victory completely wiped out the haze brought by the defeat of the first game.

And more exciting than the victory itself is the way, the Rockets have found a way to play this Hornets, which is more useful than how many points to win.

At the press conference after the game, the Hornets coach Scott didn't know if he hadn't found it or was helpless. Frankly, the other Hornets players in this game were just out of state. They returned to the home court and adjusted their status to fight back.

After a two-day break, the two sides moved to New Orleans to continue the game.

In 2005, New Orleans suffered a historic disaster. The entire city was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The prosperous city became a wild wilderness. After the disaster, many experts thought it was no longer suitable for humans. live.

But two years later, although many traces of the original disaster can still be seen, the city has been rebuilt.

Disasters have traumatized cities, but disasters have also made people here more united than anywhere else.

At the New Orleans Arena that night, the entire stadium was packed.

The fans didn't think about it so much. The team made the first round of the playoffs after the disaster and broke into the second round. They also played against the defending champion 1: 1. In their eyes, this is a team with a total Championship strength team.

Among the fans cheering on the scene, the Hornets fans were much more excited and positive than the previous two games.

Paul broke his personal record again, scoring 39 points and 6 assists in the game, Peja and West also each scored 15 points, but active and hard work could not solve the defensive loopholes for them, nor failed to help them win the game.

In the end, the Rockets still won the game 117 to 106, rewriting the series' big score to 2 to 1.

Because the Hornets did not double-team McGrady in this game, McGrady ushered in a glorious moment in his career. He scored 23 of 37 shots in the game and hit a new high of 58 points in a single playoff game.

This is a textbook style game that illustrates the case where the super scorer can really kill the game alone.

After four games, those questioners also chose to shut up.

Last season against the Spurs, this season playing the Hornets, the Rockets' tactical switch and the effect achieved, let everyone realize that as long as Tang Tian is present, no matter what opponents meet, they can finally get it.

"Mom, my team needs Tang Tian to be the head coach." During the TNT show after the game, Barkley shouted with laughter, the effect of the show exploded.

With a hint of entertainment, the fourth game of the Rockets and Hornets series continued at the New Orleans Arena.

Fans remain enthusiastic, the Hornets remain tenacious, and the end result remains the same.

The Rockets beat their opponents 106-99 again, expanding the total score to 3-1.

However, there was an accident in this game. I don't know if it was physical fatigue caused by consecutive high shots ~ www.readwn.com ~ It was still intentional of the Hornets player Peterson. At seven minutes before the final, McGrady's foot On Peterson's feet, he stomped his feet.

Injuries are the most common thing in the NBA. After Tang Tian joined the Rockets, it took more than a year to play the main injury, which is already very lucky.

The good news is that McGrady has been stepped on a lot of feet and instinctively adopted rolling protection. The post-match injury inspection report shows that he can fully recover after only 3 to 4 days of rest.

When Tang Tian played against the Nuggets before, he won 1 honor point, but this is not enough for the player's iron ankle, which means that this time the system can't help, he can only rely on himself.

Fortunately, the absence is not long, there are at most two games, and the next series should not be affected.

The first four games of the Tracy McGrady averaged 33 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. The importance to the Rockets is self-evident. This absentia immediately attracted a lot of media and fan discussion.

"Hell, this is the worst thing I've ever seen!" Barkley yelled directly on the show. As a player, he knows the injury to the players and the damage to a team.

"But this also means that the Hornets' opportunity has come. They have not been able to take the T-mac in the past few games. Now they have a good chance to take the series." Smith aside, but also rational analysis .

Smith's analysis is not unreasonable. After the Rockets 'tactical adjustments, the starting point of the attack was McGrady. Now McGrady is injured. Even if the Hornets' defensive problems are still not as big as in the previous games.

Fans are also worried after the game, they would rather use a victory to replace McGrady without injury.

It's just a pity.
