I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 252
Before the start of the playoffs, Dorsey received good news.

He was selected to the third team of the best team in the 2008-2009 season!
However, I don't know if the league is out of award balance considerations, but the best rookie was not awarded to him, but to his good friend-Derrick Rose.

However, Rose was not selected for the best team.

The operation of the alliance is very confusing.Many people are complaining about Dorsey, including the best rookie winner Rose!
"Joy, this trophy should be given to you! The Rockets' performance is much better than ours, and your personal data is also very beautiful. No matter how you look at it, you should be the best rookie!"

"Little Bear, the Rockets are doing well because I have Yao Ming, Ci Shiping, Scola, and Tracy McGrady by my side. I am the icing on the cake. But who are you by your side? Luol Deng? Ben Gordon? The Bulls can make it to the playoffs, thanks to you! You are the key to sending charcoal in a timely manner! Besides, your steals and assists data beat me by a few blocks!"

"But your scoring and blocks are better than me! In my heart, you are the best rookie, no, you are the MVP!"

……

Dorsey's goal is the sea of ​​stars, and he really doesn't care too much about the best rookie.

Other awards for the regular season are also all out.

Dorsey was named to the third team and got another chance in the lottery.

This time he drew the Rockets legend "Dream" Olajuwon, an A card with a value of 88!

A card has an ability value of 88, which is enough to show the power of "Big Dream"!

On April 4, the Rockets sat at the Toyota Center, waiting for the challenge of the young Portland Trail Blazers.

The playoffs have officially begun.

The atmosphere of the playoffs was different from that of the regular season. Tickets for the Toyota Center were hard to come by, and there were no empty seats.

The atmosphere is pure and warm, and everyone in the arena is looking forward to it nervously and excitedly.The playoffs are not just a game of chatting and laughing, but a round of life-and-death contests. The test of the playoffs is experience and details, and it is every second of devotion and concentration.

Such an atmosphere made the young pioneers a little at a loss.This team hasn't entered the playoffs for many years, and even yesterday, before the team went to Houston, they had a grand parade ceremony.

The eyes of the Blazers players were both excited and a little confused. They were both curious and a little awed by the playoffs, as if they didn't know what to do.

On the other hand, the Rockets, whether it is Dayao, Mutombo, Shane Battier, or Metta Shiping, all have two words in their eyes - perseverance!
They already have too much experience in the playoffs, with a lot of experience, and countless lessons, they clearly know what they want.Their goal is very clear-to break through the curse of the first round of the playoffs!

In the locker room, Yao Ming gathered everyone around him. Even McGrady, who hadn't communicated much with everyone after returning to the team, stood at the outermost circle of the crowd.

Yao Ming said to everyone in a sonorous tone: "I have been with the Rockets for seven years. In the past seven years, I have paid a lot for this city and this team, but I have gained more from here! I have received money, honors, Happiness, camaraderie, and love from the fans, it's an honor to be here with all of you and we've had a lot of great games. Now, I'd like to ask you all, to help me make a wish come true, and that's the wish of all Rockets fans —Break through the first round of the playoffs! Do you think this wish can come true?”

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly!" Yao Ming asked again, holding his half-deaf ear.

"Yes!" The voice was louder this time, echoing through the locker room.

"Okay!" Dayao jumped up and shouted: "Realize your dream, starting from this game, let's kill the Blazers!"

"Kill the pioneers!"

"Breakthrough the first round"

"Hooho"

……

All the soldiers of the Rockets were excited, followed Dayao and rushed out of the locker room.

After 48 minutes of fierce fighting, amidst the cheers and cheers of the home fans, the Rockets defeated the Blazers 108:88 at home without bloodshed!
Hit the young pioneer hard with a sap!

This was an easy victory. The Rockets had high morale and the armed forces worked hard. They had firmly controlled the situation on the field from the very beginning.

The opening game started with a wonderful 11:2. In the first half, Yao Ming played steadily and without misses, and his hit rate reached an astonishing 100%!

In the second half, although the Blazers tried to counterattack, the Rockets combined inside and outside to firmly control the rhythm.

And the young Blazers paid a heavy price for their immaturity, making almost every possible mistake.

They know the winner of the game, it depends on the rhythm control of the game and Yao Ming's performance, but the Blazers' first defense does not expand, and it is not like the playoff defense in terms of scope and intensity, allowing the Rockets to easily transition to half-court offense and defense The second is not to force the biggest weakness of the Rockets, the guard, not to put pressure on Brooks, and to create opportunities for him to make mistakes, but to watch him stroll in and out;This is simply not to put any pressure on the Rockets' offense and let the Rockets do whatever they want.

This is the youth of the Blazers.They don't realize the cruelty and bloodiness of the playoffs; they don't know that the playoffs are not like the regular season. The regular season allows you to test for seven or eight minutes, and even the second half begins to fight. Every game in the playoffs is life and death. The battle of life and death is likely to be doomed from the beginning.

They walked into the first game of the playoffs, facing the Rockets with rich losing experience and full concentration. Rocket's momentum, then make a decision.But just by looking at it, he was opened by the rocket, and he couldn't stop it anymore.The first time I tried the water, I was scalded as soon as I tried it.

Now, with a victory credited to the Rockets and a 1-0 lead, the page has turned and the Blazers have paid a high tuition fee.

But next time, maybe it won't be so simple.

"Hey, Bear, let's cheer for tomorrow's game! Look who I'm having dinner with"

Dorsey made a video call with Rose, pointing the camera at an unusually old face opposite him.

"HI Derek, play hard, we'll cheer you on in front of the TV!"

"Oden! Why are you together!" Ross shouted in surprise.

Dorsey explained: "Greg is an old friend of mine, and our grievances can be traced back to before you entered college! Now we are playing against each other in the playoffs again. Although we are rivals on the court, we are good friends off the court! When I come to Houston, I have to be a landlord! I just let Greg come to my apartment to try my handicraft, how about it, Greg, my handicraft is not bad!"

On the sidelines, Auden said in the Chinese language he had just learned: "Amazing!"

Of course, I learned this from Dorsey, and now Dorsey seems to have become the Chinese cultural ambassador of the entire league.

"Okay, Bear, take a good rest, we will cheer for you in tomorrow's game! Let those pretentious old guys of the Celtics taste the power of the best rookie! Come on!"

After hanging up the video call, Rose was stunned and muttered to himself: "That guy Oden actually ate Joey's food, just because they were opponents? I'm going to Houston too! Fight Dorsey ! Eat the meal he cooked for me! Damn, if I want to play against the Rockets, it seems that I have to make it to the finals..."

On the second day, a big surprise broke out. The Bulls, the seventh in the East, visited the North Shore Garden, and actually overturned the second Celtics in the East with 118:115 in the first game!
And Ross possessed God of War, scoring 38 points, 14 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals!
Breaking the scoring record for an NBA rookie in the first playoffs set by "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1970.

Rose exploded!
