The Godfather of Basketball

Fans in domestic forums are very noisy, but it is a pity that the transmission of news in 2007 is far from developed later, and it is difficult to overcome the wall, so it is only limited to China.

The Rockets' opponent in the tenth game was the Knicks, which was also the first game of their five-game streak in the East.

The Knicks have never won more than 50% of their seasons since 2001. They only made one accidental win in the 2003-04 season with 39 wins.

This year is even more so. After 9 games, he directly won 1 win and 8 losses. He was at the bottom of the league. Eddie Curry, who was given high hopes last year, gained weight again. Now the team is headed by "nervous knife" Jamal Crawford De and "data brush" Zach Randolph.

After the two teams opened, the Rockets quickly entered the state, while Randolph of the Knicks was frequently missed by Yao Ming.

After more than half of the first quarter, the Rockets led by 18 to 8 by as much as 10 points.

The change of the game came from the bench period. The young insider David Lee, who won the MVP of the rookie game last year for the Knicks, used his exquisite basket skills to score consecutively when facing Landry, and the outside line Crawford also faced Barea. Continuous shaking shots hit.

After a wave of chaotic battles, the Knicks played a 10-2 spurt against the Rockets, and they were close to the score.

The Rockets called a timeout, and Tang Tian replaced Barea with Francis.

Because Francis has a potential ankle injury, Tang Tian is very cautious in using him. Although he played a lot of games before, he didn't play for a long time, and most of them were in garbage time.

Putting him in the rotation at this time was also because Billups was injured.

Francis appeared on the stage, and there was booing immediately.

Francis has played in the Knicks for 2 seasons, but the performance is not good.

New York fans are the most cold-blooded fans in the league. They never show mercy to the former team boss Marbury, let alone Francis who was kicked out. How loudly they booed at this time.

After Francis left the Rockets, he went through a lot of ups and downs. The former "Boss Francis" has long since lost his glory. He returned to the Rockets this season. Affected by the atmosphere of the team, he has been actively recovering from his injuries and training hard. At this time, he heard boos all over the sky. , directly as the wind in the ear.

After a timeout, the Rockets' offense came back, Francis took the ball to the frontcourt, and the boos continued.

After he arrived in the frontcourt, he was not in a hurry to attack, but signaled his teammates to play a positional battle without the ball.

Francis is no longer athletic, but his playing experience has also become richer with age, which is another important reason why Tang Tian sent him on the court.

Gasol mentioned high pick-and-roll at the same time, Landry on the other side of the Rockets also blocked the opportunity for Novak.

At this time, Francis made a fake pass to the right, and after tricking Channing Frye, who was on defense, into the bottom corner, he accelerated directly to the basket.

The Knicks' defense was sloppy, and David Lee's defensive awareness on the inside was obviously half a beat slower. Francis made a low-handed layup and scored directly.

There was an uproar at the scene.

There was a burst of excited shouts from the Rockets bench.

It was quite a relief for Francis to score the ball against the boos of the audience.

In the Knicks' offense, David Lee also went to the basket to ask for a position, and Crawford lobbed directly from the outside to the inside.

But the moment he hit the ball, Francis suddenly jumped up and touched the basketball with his fingertips.

Seeing the ball being touched, the defensive Landry jumped directly from behind David Lee, jumped forward, and snatched the ball.

There was a commotion at the scene, and when Francis moved forward with the ball again, boos were overwhelming.

After Francis came up, he played well in both offense and defense, which made them even more unhappy.

Knicks coach "Assassin" Isiah Thomas felt the pressure from the audience and stood up from the bench to signal the team to pay attention to Francis.

Francis and Gasol hit the pick-and-roll again, and this time Frye and Crawford double-teamed up, ready to steal the ball directly from him.

If it were Francis from the previous two years, he would have dribbled the ball and rushed in, but he was unusually calm at this time, and before the double-team formed, he directly threw a lob to the inside.

Gasol saw the ball coming, grabbed the basketball with his arms high, and then took the ball directly into it.

David Lee on the inside came over to defend, but there was an obvious gap in speed and confrontation.

"boom!"

Gasol played the ball quite hard, pressing his weight up, and pressing the ball into the basket directly across David Lee.

The scene was stunned.

The sideline referee blew his whistle to signal David Lee's foul.

Gasol roared twice excitedly, then turned around and gave Francis a direct high-five.

There was a lot of shouting and cursing at the scene.

Gasol added a free throw, and the Rockets returned to the Knicks 5-0.

The Knicks' offense, David Lee's strong play at the basket was slapped and slapped by Gasol, who was helping to defend.

The sideline ball was sent again, and David Lee took the ball again, and there were boos at the scene!

Tang Tian was also stunned, and after confirming that he was booing David Lee, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

With this fan atmosphere, it is really tormenting for the players to play here.

David Lee made a throw over the bridge to the boos, and the rebound was taken by Francis.

The Knicks' offensive wave came to an abrupt end.

The basketball game is about momentum, and the Knicks continued to breathe in front, but after it stopped, they couldn't continue.

In the end, the Rockets beat the Knicks 98 to 76 and won their tenth consecutive season.

Facing the boos of New York fans, Francis played his best game of the season, scoring 20 points, 4 assists and 2 steals.

After the game, the Rockets celebrated around Francis on the field. Yao Ming also came over to hug the former boss, reflecting the Knicks bowing their heads and leaving. The scene was quite warm.

When leaving the field from the player tunnel, Tang Tian heard fans calling his name, looked up, and then saw yellow-skinned fans on the sidelines, who looked like Chinese students studying abroad, waving a this brochure.

Tang Tian didn't know what it was, but this was the Knicks' home court, so he didn't reach out to pick it up. He greeted Barea and Scola at the end, and then walked into the passage.

At this time, the team's assistant coach Lucas II saw the fan waving very hard, and he was tall enough to take the booklet.

In the locker room after the game, the players were still celebrating around Francis, Tang Tian walked out of the locker room with a smile.

"Tang, it's for you." Lucas II came over with the pamphlet at this time and handed it to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian showed doubts, and when he saw it was a booklet, he realized that it was what the foreign student had always wanted to give him.

He didn't want to take it at first, but if Lucas II took it, he also accepted it, and when he walked to the coach's office, he flipped it up.
