The Godfather of Basketball

"boom!"

In the aggressive defense of the Pistons, McGrady's shot was a little heavier, and the ball went in and then brushed out.

There was a scuffle at the basket.

This rebound almost determines the life and death of the two teams.

Wallace stuck Yao Ming tightly, McDyess waved his thick arms and pressed Millsap firmly under him, and the outside players also rushed to the basket desperately.

In the melee, Battier rushed from the outside to the inside and grabbed the ball directly.

There was an uproar at the scene.

After Battier grabbed the ball, he was immediately hit by Hamilton, and he slammed the ball to the right before losing his balance.

There, Billups had already stood up early.

The ball flew towards Billups, and the scene was full of boos.

"boom."

Billups caught the ball with both hands, with less than 5 seconds left in the game.

He glanced at the three-point line on the soles of his feet, then raised his head and shot.

The boos at the scene reached their peak.

The Pistons players had no time to help defend, and looked nervously at the spinning basketball in the air.

Tang Tian also stood up at once. The team doctor just said that Billups' left eye has a great influence on his vision. Under this situation, can the ball still be scored?

The basketball crossed a high parabola in the air.

A ball, as long as a century.

"Shua!"

There was a crisp sound, like a basin of cold water being poured on the fire, and the boos at the scene stopped abruptly.

Billups scored a three-pointer at a critical moment!

Tang Tian waved his fist excitedly.

Mr. big!

In the past in the Pistons, because of his stability at critical moments, Billups was called Mr. big by the fans, which is Mr. Big Heart.

Now even though he changed teams and his vision was affected, he still made the ball!

This is the big heart!

The Pistons called a timeout.

Billups came off the field, greeted by wild cheers from his teammates.

"Nice shot." Tang Tian also gave Billups a thumbs up at this time.

"Coach, you said, let the ex know that it is better than before." Billups said with a smile.

Tang Tian and Billups slapped each other with a tacit understanding.

After a short period of excitement, Tang Tian took out the tactical board and arranged the defensive tactics for the last round.

After Billups made a three-pointer, there were only about 3 seconds left before the end of the game. At this time, shooting a three-pointer was the only option for the Pistons.

Tang Tian knew this very well, and when drawing tactics, he expanded the entire defensive formation outward.

After the timeout, the Pistons made substitution adjustments, replacing McDyess with Jarvis Hayes, a small forward who can shoot three-pointers.

The Pistons served in the frontcourt. After Wallace and Hayes made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Hamilton and Prince, they also started to run.

This equates to four offensive options on the court at once.

Millsap was bouncing up and down the sideline, disrupting Sessions' passing lanes.

With only 5 seconds to serve, Sessions seized a gap and threw the ball directly to Hamilton who was running out.

Hamilton accelerated to shake off Pietrus, turned around and shot directly after receiving the ball.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly burst out from the side.

Billups!

As a member of the former Pistons, he is too familiar with this team.

Hamilton was forced out of shooting space.

He made a fold shot in the air, but when he shot again, the angle was all gone.

"Snapped!"

This last reluctant shot was also blocked by Billups.

"beep!"

Then the final whistle sounded.

The Rockets won!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Most of the fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills came to watch Billups make a fool of himself, but they were shown off, which is psychologically difficult to accept.

The fans shook their heads and exited the arena dispirited.

The Rockets players were cheering wildly, and Billups was surrounded by them.

By the time he came out of the center, more than half of the audience had already left.

Looking at everything around him, his expression was extremely complicated.

The team he played for five years was finally defeated by himself. The fans who once cheered for him finally became his enemies. This feeling is really embarrassing.

"Congratulations, Chauncey." Just then, a voice brought him back to reality.

It was Hamilton, the former teammate who reached out to Billups.

Billups froze for a moment, then smiled and held out his hand.

The two shook hands, shoulder to shoulder, just like before.

At this moment, those old teammates of the former Pistons came over to congratulate him.

Although the fans regarded him as a sinner of the city, although the general manager regarded him as a traitor, although there were fierce hand-to-hand fights on the field, after the game, these former teammates still regarded him as a friend.

Hugging with his former teammates one by one, Billups' eyes gradually became moist.

Looking at this scene, Tang Tian was filled with emotion.

This team built by old coach Larry Brown successfully won the coveted championship, but in just a few years, it will be disbanded by Joe Dumars. Since then, there will be no more "bad boys" in the league. .

After taking down the Pistons and ending their 15-game winning streak, the Rockets won another six-game winning streak.

Moreover, unlike the previous winning streak, this wave of winning streak has continuously defeated strong opponents, and the team's morale has also reached its peak since the start of the game.

Good things come in pairs. Just as the Rockets started a new round of winning streak, Sun Yue played better and better in the Development League.

On the day the Rockets returned to the Toyota Center, Sun Yue played a representative game in the Development League. He played 40 minutes and contributed 21 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, and also contributed a lore at the last moment. .

The Rockets coaching staff has already started talking about recalling Sun Yue to the team.

Tang Tian was not in a hurry, instead of playing a few minutes of innocence in the Rockets, he might as well continue to improve in the Development League.

Time flies, and the Rockets continue their winning streak.

Before Christmas, they sang all the way, not only successfully avenging the Spurs, but also picking off the Suns and Cavaliers, the favorites to win the championship. The team has a strong momentum.

However, during this period, the team encountered a wave of injuries. The team's guard Francis suffered a recurrence of his ankle injury and was unable to play. Hyde also sprained his wrist during the game. The originally substantial guard line suddenly became thin.

With no one available, the team's coaching staff made a decision to recall Sun Yue from the Development League.

Sun Yue played in the Development League for a month and a half, played nearly 20 games, averaged 34.7 minutes per game, scored 16.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 2.5 blocks, shooting 43% from the field and three-pointers 32%.

Such statistics are not particularly dazzling in the development league, but his progress is obvious to all.
