Chapter 402 Team Rocket's Last Chance

The game between the Hornets and the Rockets has won the attention of the entire league.

In the third game, although the Hornets were a bit stunned by the Rockets' high shooting percentage at the beginning, and the Rockets also seized this opportunity to open up the score with the Hornets. Once expanded to more than ten.

So, in the third quarter, a very surprising thing happened - Zhong Yu scored 16 points alone at the beginning of the third quarter!
He used his crazy shooting rate alone to withstand the continuous offense of the Rockets.

After that, the Hornets withstood the most difficult stage and finally had a chance to launch a counterattack.Then, they didn't leave any chance for the Rockets.

This game left endless regrets for the Rockets fans, and also gave many Hornets fans more reasons to be excited.

After this game, the Rockets basically have no hope of winning the series.

Under the situation of 3-0, and it is still a team like the Hornets... The Rockets still want to win the game back, and there is basically no possibility left.

Seeing that the Rockets' cup is about to be staged.

The home fans of the Rockets now have no hope for the final victory of the game.

Just after the game ended, Zhong Yu was interviewed by the local media in Houston next to the court.

This is a female reporter, she raised the microphone directly in front of Zhong Yu, and asked: "You guys defeated the Rockets again, and you scored 18 points in the third quarter... How do you feel about the team in this game?" The contribution is very great and also plays a key role, so do you think that the Hornets will be able to beat the Rockets in the next game?"

Reporters like to ask Zhong Yu about these topics, and they can always get some answers from Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu said: "Of course it's not up to me. From my personal point of view, I hope to beat the Rockets and enter the Western Conference Finals... But it depends on God's will, what He wants us to do, We can only obey."

When Zhong Yu was answering the interview, he liked to push some things to God a lot of the time...and this trick was tried and tested.

Many reporters still think that Zhong Yu talks about God when he arrives in the United States, which is a good performance of doing as the Romans do!

"Historically, there are very few teams that have overtaken when they fell behind 3-0. Do you think you can win the game steadily?"

"This..." Zhong Yu felt that these reporters liked to ask himself some topics that made him speculate.

He also has a way of answering: "Although in history, few teams can overtake when they are 3-0 behind...but the Rockets are a very tenacious team. They will not wait until the last moment. Relax, and won’t give up! I think, if we don’t pay attention, the Rockets players will probably find a way to fight back, and we will be ruined by our own hands that don’t pay much attention to it…”

"If you really beat the Rockets 4-0, how would you face Yao?" The female reporter suddenly asked such a question.

This issue is also of concern to some Americans.

Zhong Yu and Yao Ming can be said to be one of the most well-known Chinese in the United States. Yao Ming's influence in the United States is not small, and Zhong Yu, although he has not been in the alliance for too long, has a huge influence.

Now, the teams of two people who are concerned by everyone are facing each other... They are also more concerned about these follow-up issues.

Zhong Yu thought for a while and said, "Yao Ming and I come from the same country, even the same province. We have known each other for many years. And we are also very good teammates in the national team. If Yao Ming plays well, Then, I will give him blessings and cheers. If I do a good job, he will also be proud of my achievements! Therefore, this series is originally like this. No matter who wins, the other party will give him the most sincere Blessings...that's it."

When Zhong Yu got to this point, the reporter didn't ask any new questions, but let Zhong Yu go.

When Zhong Yu said goodbye to Yao Ming, Yao Ming had a wry smile on his face. Zhong Yu knew that he had lost and felt uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything more.

In this game, Yao Ming scored 32 points and 10 rebounds alone, and the scoring is still very high... This may be the series with the highest scoring average in the playoffs of his career...

However, it is a pity that the Rockets were still unable to ascend to the sky under the sting of the Hornets.

Zhong Yu is one of the chief culprits for the current situation of the Rockets...

However, the arena is so cruel and ruthless, Zhong Yu doesn't have much to do, and he doesn't know how to comfort Yao Ming...

Therefore, I can only let him go back by himself, and be quiet by himself.

As a player of the Hornets, Zhong Yu only thought about defeating the Rockets as soon as possible and advancing to the Western Conference Finals... and then pulling out the Spurs or massacring the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals to reach the Finals!
The fourth game between the Hornets and the Rockets is about to begin.

The aftermath of the third game has not completely dissipated, and now many fans are linking the fourth game with the third game——

"Zhong Yu played really well in the third game. It can even be said that for a period of time the Hornets were supported by him alone. In the fourth quarter, I just don't know if he can continue such a wonderful performance. The Hornets have driven the Rockets into the abyss."

"The Hornets played three games better than the first... However, it should be Zhong Yu who played well in the third game. Zhong Yu used his scoring to win enough time and opportunities for the Hornets. I don't know if he can continue to let the Hornets beat their opponents."

"In the fourth game, the situation is very critical for the Rockets. However, if the Hornets can advance to the Western Conference Finals earlier, then there will be more time to prepare. This Western Conference Finals, they are likely to avenge the Lakers... much It’s better to have a little time to prepare.”

…………

For Rockets fans, although it is not the end of the world, they are indeed very worried.

Worried about the fourth game, whether the Hornets will go all out and sweep the Rockets directly...

Although it is said that the Rockets are basically doomed, but such a direct sweep is really too embarrassing for them.

The last fig leaf has to be removed!
Therefore, Rockets fans hope that they can win a game no matter what.

The fourth game was still held at the Toyota Center. There were not as many fans who came to the scene today... Some of these fans were more realistic. Seeing that the team was in a bad state, they lost the desire to watch .

"Guys! Victory is just around the corner! As long as we can win this game, we will be able to enter the Western Conference Finals! At that time, we will either be able to slaughter the Spurs again, or take revenge on the Lakers! We will be able to enter the Finals!" Before the game, Kurt tried his best to tell everyone the importance of this game, trying to arouse the fighting spirit of the Hornets.

Scott doesn't have too many tactics to explain now. All he can do is to try to improve the morale of the Hornets and their mood to beat their opponents.

"Team Rocket, they will be wiped out by us immediately!" Scott finally raised his arms and shouted.

An expression of desire to fight gradually flashed on the faces of the Hornets players.

Indeed, the game has reached this point, and a small step forward can completely bury the Rockets' hopes. Of course they want to do a big job.

They all hope this is their last meeting with the Rockets this series.

The game has officially begun!In this game, the Rockets not only did not show the same fighting spirit as in the last game, even their shooting percentage has dropped.

Although this game is related to whether they will be swept by the Hornets, they are really not very able to raise their fighting spirit.

Some players are even planning their offseason tours!
No way, the game has reached this point, they have no hope of defeating the Hornets, they just hope that the Hornets will not abuse them so badly.

With such prayers, it is conceivable what level they can play.

During the game, Yao Ming himself was still conscientious in playing in the paint, taking shots whenever he had an opportunity, and taking shots even if he didn't have an opportunity to create an opportunity. He played fairly tenaciously.

However, in fact, Yao Ming did not have the strong fighting spirit he had before...

He didn't give much hope...

The Rockets' lineup, even he himself doesn't know how to rise again, enter the playoffs, enter the second round, enter the semifinals...

Under such circumstances, the Hornets also played relatively easily. They put a lot of offensive opportunities on the outside, and there was no pressure on outside shots. Instead, they shot very resolutely and accurately.

Zhong Yu's shooting is also as accurate as in the last game.

So, at the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides became 31-24. The Hornets led the Rockets by 7 points and entered the second quarter.

In the playoffs, the Hornets scored 31 points in a single quarter... The Rockets today, it can be seen that they did not make much contribution on the defensive end.

After that, the second quarter started.

It can be said that today's game still did not exceed the expectations of most fans. The Rockets really couldn't beat the Hornets... Moreover, the momentum of the Rockets was far behind the last game.

If this goes on, it's no wonder if you don't lose...

With the last six seconds left in the game, Zhong Yu took control of the ball from the outside, suddenly shook his shoulders, and followed him to pull the basketball to his right side, and with an acceleration, he forced a breakthrough from Battier's left side.

Battier's defense was very timely, but Zhong Yu used another change of direction, the basketball passed through his crotch and came to the left hand side, Zhong Yu immediately put away the basketball, and then took another step to his left , and then jumped up directly.

It's too late for Battier to block the shot, and Zhong Yu sold it quickly, and he also opened up space.

"Rub!" The basketball wiped the rim and went into the net. The Hornets ended the first half 59-46.
