Chapter 79
The Rockets' timeout ended, and the two sides took a short break to return to the court.

The intensity of confrontation in the 09 playoffs was much greater than later.

Su Yi clearly remembered Kobe telling himself how to defend McGrady.

As I expected, at this last moment, Kobe showed his true qualities as a killer and entangled McGrady tightly.

Under Brooks' brutal defense by the Lakers, Shane Battier's hands are also frozen at the moment.

As the only stable scoring point on the field, Yao Ming carried Gasol and was about to reach the basketball when Bynum double-teamed him.

Yao Ming took a step forward in the encounter between the two, turned around and hit a hook, and the point difference was reduced to 7 points.

Peter Pan Kobe used a single-block cover to reach the inside, facing Yao Ming's block, leaned back and continued to score with a basketball, widening the point difference to 9 points.

Su Yi looked at the timer. There are still three minutes left, and the Rockets really don't have much time left.

The Lakers replaced Odom again to cooperate with Bynum to limit Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming received the ball, he slipped into the paint with an Asian dance step and continued to score.

With 2 minutes and 46 seconds left in the game, with a 7-point difference, Yao Ming saved the last chance for the Rockets.

As of now, Yao Ming has scored 39 points, and the Rockets are currently 83:90 behind.

In this game, Yao Ming had to face the inner battles of the three Lakers all by himself. Under such a high-intensity environment, his energy consumption was more than double that of usual.

After taking advantage of Odom's cover, Kobe went to the inside, and faced Yao Ming's defense in a dislocation again, and shot back with difficulty.

Missed, the basketball rushed directly to the basket and confiscated the rebound, and Brooks made a lightning fast break.

At 2 minutes and 24 seconds, the point difference was reduced to 5 points.

The game entered the most intense stage, and the Lakers organized a triangle offense.

McGrady clung to Kobe tightly, preventing Kobe from receiving the ball.

Kobe used speed to get rid of McGrady, and the fish on the weak side then passed the ball.

The iconic Mamba dance step gradually speeds up the rhythm, jumps up in an instant, twists the waist, kicks the legs, stays in the air, leans back, and throws away McGrady's block.

The basketball ruthlessly pierced the net.

Su Yi looked at Kobe, his cold eyes were as determined as when he was singled out.

Time was running out. After Yao Ming received the ball from a high position, he turned around and slipped into the empty interior after facing Gasol.

Odom stretched out his long arms under the basket to stop him. Yao Ming faced Odom's long arms, angrily jumped up, and smashed the basketball into the basket with both hands.

Two points are valid, plus one penalty!
Facing the overwhelming roar from the Staples Center, the exhausted Yao Ming tried his best to restore his physical strength.

Su Yi could see that his hands were almost fighting.

"Come on, Dayao." Although he knew that Yao Ming's free throw was very stable, he silently blessed Dayao in his heart.

Yao Ming glanced at the ball and made a steady hit.

A career-high 42 points, and on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, facing such an iron-blooded defense!
Su Yi slammed the stool down hard, and couldn't help applauding Yao Ming, what a strong willpower this is.

1 minute 57 seconds, 5 points difference.

"Give me that damn basketball!" Kobe almost yelled at his teammates.

This time, the Mamba himself started possession from the backcourt.

Bynum and Odom stepped forward together to make a double screen.

Two large iron doors firmly blocked McGrady.

Kobe went straight to the basket to face Yao Ming.

The Mamba at full speed, like a string of sharp black lightning, slashed straight at Yao Ming.

Exhausted Yao Ming, at the last critical moment, the adrenaline soared to the extreme, so that he forgot the exhaustion of his limbs.

In the situation where the Mamba is full of limit speed, Yao Ming can only use his subconscious to predict the timing when Kobe is about to end.

He changes defensive footwork quickly, like a tall and flexible moving wall.

The moment Kobe twisted his ankle, Yao Ming's pupils suddenly enlarged. Based on his own experience, he knew that this was the precursor of the Mamba's attack.

Direction is left, breakthrough layup.

Yao Ming made a rapid lateral move to defend the past.

He predicted the right direction!
However, the Black Mamba hit the moving Great Wall like a bomb, and the knees of the two hit each other.

The huge pain made Yao Ming almost feel no pain at that moment, and then fell to the ground.

The sudden change silenced the Staples Center for an instant, and the audience stopped clamoring.

"Brother Yao!" The corners of Su Yi's eyes were almost tingling, and the thing he was most worried about happened.

Mamba hugged his knee and stood up after rubbing it twice.

Adelman came over to briefly confirm the situation. With the help of the team doctor, Yao Ming left the court through the player tunnel.

Inside the player tunnel.

Team doctor Jones took a temporary medical kit and conducted a preliminary examination on Yao Ming, with an ugly expression on his face.

Two other team doctors were also rushed from the field.

"How is it?" Yao Ming asked worriedly.

Several team doctors looked at each other, and then Jones said: "The specific situation needs to be checked in detail before a conclusion can be made."

"Who asked you this!" Yao Ming's expression became more anxious, "How is the situation in the arena?"

"53 seconds, seven points behind." Jones said with a sigh.

"Help me deal with it, hurry up, hurry up, there is still time!" Yao Ming urged again and again.

Jones and his assistant could only deal with Yao Ming briefly, and Yao Ming turned around and walked into the arena.

Su Yi appeared at the entrance of the players' tunnel and blocked Yao Ming's way.

"Brother Yao, you can't go back, your injury is irreversible!" Su Yi pointed at Yao Ming viciously
Su Yi knows Yao Ming's current situation, and if he consumes it again, it is very likely that his career will be scrapped
Today he has to stop Yao Ming whatever he says, even if Yao scolds him and hates him for the rest of his life, today he doesn't mind being a villain himself. .

"Xiao Su, you don't understand! If I don't go back now, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life, and I can't leave myself with a lifetime of pain!"

Dayao's expression was so determined that he couldn't refuse.

Su Yi's eyes finally softened. The person who valued basketball more than life wanted to stop him, how could it be possible?
The door of the player's tunnel was slammed open.

There was a brief silence at the Staples Center before thunderous cheers erupted.

It's a way for Los Angeles fans to honor their heroes.

At the last moment, Yao Ming never gave up.

Back hits, hooks, high post shots.

In the end, the Rockets lost to the Lakers 95:100 and stopped in the Western Conference Finals.

Yao Ming scored a career-high 48 points and Kobe Bryant scored 41 points.

Although he is getting closer to the draft day, what Su Yi is most concerned about now is of course Dayao's situation.

Dayao usually cared so much about him, but he didn't stop Dayao that day, and he wasn't sure whether his actions were right or not.

Three days later, Toyota Center.

When Su Yi arrived at the arena, he saw an incredible scene.

According to my own understanding, Yao Ming should be lying in the medical room at this time.

However, when he arrived, he found that Yao Ming was shooting in the arena, talking and laughing with his manager Bill Duffy.

"Hey, Xiao Su, what brought you here?" Dayao was extremely shocked.

"Are you. Are you okay?" Su Yi was extremely shocked.

"I was about to talk about this, Xiao Su! Thanks to your reminder, I brought thicker protective props. It happened that Kobe didn't completely hit the front at that time, or that hit would really make me choke!" Yao smiled violently.

"It's fine. It's fine." Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I finally understand the meaning of what you said. After being hit on the ground, I thought everything was over. Fortunately, the test results came out all right. It seems that in the future, it is really time to pay attention to the reasonable way of playing the ball!" Big Yao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Yao, I've already made an appointment for Thomas Carter's physiotherapy course, and you will go to Phoenix with me the day after tomorrow." Bill Duffy said.

"Sun team doctor? Don't you need to wait in line? I remember that he is not a player of his own team. It took Dr. Carter a few years to give him a number. Do you still have this relationship?" Yao Ming was a little puzzled.

"Thanks to your little brother for this." Bill Duffy laughed.

"It's a big deal. I didn't do anything to help Xiaosu in the draft, but instead let Xiaosu help me. I've been fooling around for so many years!" Yao Ming shook his head.

The three laughed together.
