I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 256 The Situation Becomes Extraordinarily Delicate
With a total score of 3:0, Houston fans are discussing the possibility of a sweep.

In the playoffs where black eight miracles are common, No.4 in the regular season can achieve a sweep of No.5, which is a very promising thing.

For a while, the major media have started to tout the Rockets mode.What is "Houston's revival", what is "The Rockets are showing their strength", what is "the biggest competitor of the Lakers has surfaced", what is "dream back to the 1993-1994 season", all kinds of rainbow farts are flying all over the sky.

Even the bookmakers have secretly lowered the Rockets' championship odds.

In the midst of singing and dancing, the fourth game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers started.

In this game, the Rockets played a little absent-mindedly, as if they were thinking about the next round against the Lakers.

The Blazers, on the other hand, fought with their backs, broke the boat, and played unprecedented blood and momentum.

As the saying goes, how bold a person is, how productive the land is.

The Blazers, who had played their lives, finally moved back to a game at home.

Turned the total score to 3:1.

For this result, the outside world is not too surprised.After all, the Trail Blazers are No.5 in the regular season, and their record is exactly the same as that of the Rockets. If they are swept away, it would be a bit unreasonable. Don't the Portlanders want to lose face?
Optimistic fans will say that the Rockets are not strong enough to fight, and they must hope to return to the Toyota Center and enjoy the historic moment of breaking through the first round of the curse with the fans at home.

Conspiracy theorists implicitly stated that this was related to the change in the handicap before the game, and it was a match-fixing manipulated by the black hand behind the scenes!
At the end of four games, the two teams returned to Houston to start the fifth game of the series.

Houston, Toyota Center.

Today is a good day. In the words of Baiyun Heitu, it is "the red flag is fluttering, the gongs and drums are loud, the firecrackers are sounding, and there are huge crowds of people",
The fans in Houston, old and young, were empty-handed, just to see the historic moment when the Rockets broke through the first-round curse for many years and reached the second round of the playoffs.

In the arena, the scene used a method similar to that of the All-Star Game. The lights were dimmed, and the spotlights were used to illuminate the players in turn. The DJ on the scene called out the names of each Rockets starter in an extremely exaggerated tone.

Let every Rockets player enjoy the applause and cheers of the fans.

This is not like a life-and-death fight that is about to start, but rather like the returning heroes enjoying the worship of the people.

After introducing all the players on the field, before the game started, the whole scene suddenly went dark, and a few large red characters suddenly flashed on the big screen above the court: Let become BIG! (Let's start the big era!)
After the most exaggerated and lengthy foreplay ceremony, the game can officially start.

However, after the game started, everyone discovered that the Trail Blazers did not cooperate with the celebration of the Houstonians, and they did not obediently lead the neck and kill as expected.

At the beginning of the game, there was no way to retreat, and the Trail Blazers, who had no choice but to give it a go, were resolute and decisive, playing with amazing intensity and aggression.This desperate young Guards showed their sharpest minions and launched a fierce attack on Team Rocket, which was still immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere.

Their attack arrow is Roy.The two-time All-Star, in the previous game, his performance was completely suppressed by Dorsey.Put too much energy on how to defend, so that his signature offense did not come out.

Now, the desperate Roy seems to have figured it out, since I can't defend him, then I will overwhelm you with offense!
Roy fully demonstrated his all-star style.

Shortly after the opening, received a pass from Blake, broke forward, changed hands and dribbled, dodged Dorsey, and then changed hands again, broke through the defending Scola, went to the basket, faced Yao Ming and took off , the ball was originally in his right hand, but in the process of staying in the air, he changed the ball to his left hand again, avoided Yao Ming's block, and scored the ball with a light flick.

After a while, the Trail Blazers sent the baseline ball, Roy suddenly rushed from the outside to the inside, but Oden did not pass the ball to his hands, but threw it directly into the sky, Roy took off and scored a slam dunk!A "Bottom Line Alley-oop" was staged!
And in the last 5 seconds of the first quarter, the Blazers served the ball. He caught the ball and turned around, bypassing Dorsey's tackle, strode away, and sprinted with the ball. One step away from the three-point line, suddenly Raised his hand and made a three-pointer!
The ball hits the buzzer!
Roy, who hit the buzzer, was not at all excited. His eyes were arrogant and stern. Dorsey felt that the eyes seemed familiar. Looking back carefully, it seemed that Kobe looked like this when he was serious!
Dorsey then remembered Brandon Roy's nickname - Yellow Mamba!

Except for Roy, the others also played very actively.At the center position, McMillan did not start with Przybilla, but Oden.

Although Oden is not Yao Ming's opponent, but his talent is too good, fighting against Yao Ming with his life also caused a lot of trouble for Dayao.

On the defensive end, he tried his best to go around and get stuck in front of Dayao to prevent Dayao from receiving the ball;

Once Yao Ming received the ball, he pulled and arched behind him, doing all kinds of tricks on the verge of fouling.The intensity of the playoffs made the referee turn a blind eye to such an action.

When grabbing rebounds, his excellent static talent made him not lose too much in the competition with Yao Ming, who is not a rebounder.

Under Oden's desperate defense, Dayao once made 6 of 0 shots!
On the offensive end, Oden knew he couldn't beat Yao Ming at the basket, so he frequently pulled to the mid-range for mid-range shots.Although his mid-range shot is not very stable, he can also throw the ball into the basket from time to time.

Although this offensive method is inefficient, it is the most promising way for Oden to score goals at present.Oden played with sincerity and resoluteness. The past two years have allowed him to unload the burden of being an idol of the future star. He puts his stance very low. As long as he can score goals and help the team, he doesn't care what others think ,How to say.

At the point guard position, Blake also played very well today.

The Rockets' goal is at the point guard position. If Yao Ming and Dorsey determine the current height of the Rockets' ceiling, then Brooks and Lowry are the shortest boards that determine how much water the Rockets' barrel can hold.

Brooks' height and weight determine that he has natural defensive defects and cannot fight against high-level opponents. When the opponent makes a determined effort to break through to him, he can only watch the opponent throw the ball again and again. Score it from your own head.

On the offensive end, Xiaobu's old problem has been committed again. Perhaps it is the too relaxed atmosphere today, which made him forget his responsibilities and past lessons. Those who became raiders.

This style of play made it hard for Yao Ming on the inside, so he could only drag his huge and heavy body back and forth to run back and forth with him.

The Rockets' tactical system is built around Yao Ming, and if Yao can't keep up, the offense becomes X**D.

The Rockets' offense and defense were chaotic and disorderly, in stark contrast to the Blazers' resoluteness.

In the first three quarters, the Rockets didn't score more than 20 points. After three quarters, at 77:56, the Rockets trailed by 21 points!
In the fourth quarter, Adelman couldn't stand Brooks' poor performance, and replaced him with veteran Brent Barry, and finally stabilized the situation to a certain extent, avoiding a complete collapse.

However, there is a problem with the center position.

Dayao couldn't run anymore!He has already followed Brooks, who is 33 centimeters shorter and 67kg lighter than him, for three rounds and back and forth. This is equivalent to running back and forth with a bag of more than 100 kilograms of cement than Brooks. Who can bear it!

And the bad consequences of Uncle Mu's injury have also been reflected. The Rockets are currently only able to substitute for Yao Ming, Hayes, who has been out of battle for a long time. The playoffs are over.Basically, it is to go on the court to fill the personal field, so that Dayao can take a breather and continue to play.

Dayao had physical problems, the Rockets were unable to cope, and the offense and defense were completely paralyzed.

Fortunately, Dorsey stood up, started the mutual rivalry mode with Roy, scored some goals, so as not to be completely beaten by the Blazers.

In the end, the Blazers beat the Rockets 103:89.

The total score was moved to 3:2, and the situation became extremely delicate
