The Godfather of Basketball

Maddie.

The feel of this game is really a bit bad, 3 of 14 shots, 3 are all dunks, that is to say, none of the 11 outside shots were scored.

This is destined to not belong to his night.

But Tang Tian chose to believe him at the last moment.

Even Phil Jackson was taken aback.

Although everyone is saying that the superstar must be trusted at the most critical moment, the superstar also has inaccurate nights, and the Rockets are only 1 point behind.

"Go back to the basket!" Jackson made a judgment in an instant and yelled directly.

Except for Kobe who rushed over, all the Lakers players returned to the basket.

McGrady made a shot from outside the three-point line after receiving the ball.

Kobe leapt forward.

McGrady was unprecedentedly calm at this time.

Calmly, it's like Tang Tian arranged tactics during a timeout, and said calmly that he should take the last shot.

Since Tang Tian still believed in him, he had no reason not to believe in himself.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

He watched Kobe swoop in, watched him almost block his shot.

But he didn't jump.

He made a shooting action directly after receiving the ball, but it was not a jump shot that he was good at.

Collecting the ball, watching Kobe fly by in front of his eyes, watching Kobe's shocked but suddenly realized expression and then flashing past.

He took a step and dribbled the ball from left to right.

There were only the last 2 seconds left in the time, but his heart was never at peace.

Take off, stretch your legs, aim at the frame, lift the ball, and shoot.

Watching the basketball fly out of his hand, watching the red lights on the sidelines, that is the final whistle.

"Shua!"

As if something broke the barrier of time, the slowing speed disappeared instantly.

Surrounded by bursting cheers.

"Beautiful!" Tang Tian waved his fist excitedly.

The Rockets players on and off the court all rushed towards the court.

McGrady, kill the Lakers!

"T-mac! T-mac!"

There were deafening cheers at the scene.

McGrady looked calm and raised his hands, enjoying the hugs from his teammates and the cheers from the scene.

A soul-stirring game, and finally McGrady drew the final stop.

Kobe looked back at the Rockets players celebrating behind him, and could only shake his head helplessly.

He scored 53 points in the whole game, which set a record for his 51 points in the playoffs, and 51 points were also set against the Rockets last year.

Different process, same ending.

Gasol came over and patted him on the shoulder, and the Lakers also came on the field.

Bryant took a deep breath, nodded to Gasol, indicating that he was fine.

The players of the two teams are doing the final handshake ceremony on the field.

When the Lakers left the field, the Rockets fans were still celebrating.

A 15-point reversal game, and the opponent is still a strong Lakers, they definitely have reasons to celebrate.

Yao Ming made 16 of 22 shots and scored a playoff-high 42 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists.

Although McGrady only contributed 13 points on 4 of 14 shots, but the last soul-stirring lore three-pointer was more than 20 points.

Artest was the main contributor to the team's victory. Not only did he restrain Kobe well in the second half, he also scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

In addition to the Big Three, Yi Jianlian and Billups also scored in double figures.

In the case of McGrady's abnormal performance and Kobe's new high in the playoffs, the Rockets still gritted their teeth and persisted to the end, and finally succeeded in winning the game.

The meaning of this game has gone far beyond a victory.

Fans saw an unprecedented level of tenacity in this team.

And the media admired Tang Tian even more.

Not only the last lore arrangement, but also what Tang Tian said in the midfield when McGrady revealed in an interview after the game.

This is a coach the league has never seen before.

Tactical master, chicken soup coach, rookie mentor, before this, it was hard to imagine that all of these would appear in one person.

And this guy is 25 years old.

This guy has won 2 championships.

This man is storming the dynasty.

Even TNT's post-match program was crooked. Discussing about this game turned into where Tang Tian was going next summer.

This is a coach with outstanding strength but with the attributes of a champion!

Probably only those who own him are in happiness without knowing it.

The game between the Rockets and the Lakers was soul-stirring, and media reports were flying everywhere.

However, such reports are rare on the second day. It's not that the fans' interest and enthusiasm are only one day, but that this day was replaced by another big news.

The Celtics beat the Magic 106-101.

The result of the game was the same as predicted by many experts, but what attracts attention is not the outcome of the game, but in this game, Celtics core power forward Kevin Garnett, During the basket, he collided with Magic backup shooting guard JJ Redick.

The post-match inspection report showed that the MRI examination was negative, and the right knee ligament was torn, and he was reimbursed for the season.

A series of words deeply hurt the fans, and also caused heavy losses to Boston fans.

Redick issued an apology after the game. Although it was not intentional, the collision cast an unprecedented shadow on the Celtics' championship journey.

Tang Tian was also stunned when he saw the report.

He didn't expect this to be the case at all. What happened in the regular season in the previous life didn't happen. He thought it wouldn't happen again. Even in his prediction, the Rockets and the enhanced Celtics It is going to be a battle of the century in the finals.

But in the end this result...

It can only be said that it is really doomed.

Garnett is far more important to the Celtics than others, just like Yao Ming is to the Rockets, the next game of the Celtics series will be difficult.

Such news was very shocking, but to Tang Tian and the Rockets players, it was only a shock.

The schedule of the Western Conference finals is tight. Two days after the end of the first game, the series of the two sides ushered in the second game.

The venue for the race is still at the Toyota Center.

The rhythm of the game is exactly the same as the first game.

Kobe played with all his strength in the last game. After two days of rest, he was still omnipresent on the court with all his strength, and his touch was still hot.

But the difference from the first game is that after McGrady missed a game, this game regained its touch.

With Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady's outstanding performance, the Rockets gained a lead of about 10 points in the first quarter, and in the following games, they also kept ahead of the Lakers, and the difference lasted until the end.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Lakers 117-106 at home, winning the second victory of the series and leading 2-0 by a big score.

Yao Ming scored 31 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists, McGrady scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Yi Jianlian, Billups and Artest scored in double figures.

Kobe Bryant scored 40 points, but still powerless.

"We must stand up in the following games. This should not be a one-man battle." After the game, Gasol told the media.

Although they are behind by a big score, it can be felt that the Lakers will never admit defeat easily.
