Play in God's jersey

Chapter 483 Advancing to the Western Conference Finals (Joint Chapter)
"The competition in this game was really fierce. After halftime, the score between the two sides was still tied, 49 to 49. The halftime score was not high." Kenny Smith said during the intermission.

"Yeah, the Rockets are fighting to the death, and they can only move forward if they win. The Suns don't want to bring the war back to the home court. Everyone is fighting." Barkley said.

"In the first half, the two sides took the lead alternately, back and forth, and the point difference did not widen by more than 4 points. Either everyone didn't score, or you won and I got it. It was just a seesaw. This game was wonderful and exciting. .” Kenny Smith shook his head and sighed.

"This kind of game is the real playoff level, and the stronger can advance."

"Before halftime, Qian Duoduo's goal was really wonderful. He scored from the outside, passed Brooks who was switching on him, and then [-]-on-[-] inside. The Rockets all shrunk to the basket. He scored," Barkley recalled.

"He picked the entire Rockets team by himself."

"Artest has already put his hands on his shoulders, but he still doesn't hold him, and continues to take off and pick the ball into the basket."

"This goal is very bloody. I remember that at the beginning of the season, some people complained that Qian Duoduo was weak and not strong enough to fight. Those guys really should come and see Qian Duoduo's goal. They all felt that they were behind Ah Tester took off," Barkley said with a laugh.

"However, at the beginning of the season, Qian Duoduo was still a little thinner, and his strength at that time should not be as strong as it is now. But this is the evolutionary path of superstars. They are always moving forward, and no one else can catch up with them." Kenny Smith interface said.

Back in the second half, the Suns were attacking. Qian Duoduo took possession of the ball and pushed forward. When he came to the outside of the three-point line, Martin moved from the right side to help him cover.

Qian Duoduo made a feint to the right, and then brought the ball back, instead of going to the right, he went in from the left.

Artest was shaken by him to move his center of gravity to the right, and turned to catch up.

Shane Battier, who followed Martin, didn't bother Martin, but teamed up with Artest to double-team Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo passed the ball to Martin without looking behind his back. Martin caught the ball and scored with an open jumper.

Brooks dribbled the ball down from the right side, beyond the three-point line, met Nash's defense, and transferred the ball to Battier at the top of the arc, Battier then gave it to Artest on the left, and Artest attacked Pass the ball inside to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming first leaned his shoulder against O'Neal behind him, then released the ball, leaned in and hit Jefferson. After leaning a few times, he came out of the space, turned around and shot a jumper, and also threw the ball in. The two sides tied again.

Nash broke through Brooks with the ball, and quickly passed the ball to the bottom line after breaking in.

Qian Duoduo has already used a turn-back run, got rid of Artest's defense, slipped across the baseline, and received a pass from Nash.

However, Nash's pass was not in place. Qian Duoduo stretched his arm before catching the ball. After getting the ball, he paused for a while to make adjustments. Yao Ming's supplementary defense came over, and Artest also Following up from the outside, Scola also shrank towards Qian Duoduo.

As a result, the Rockets' penalty area was very crowded, and Qian Duoduo was almost surrounded.

Qian Duoduo did not choose to force himself. He found a gap in the crowd and passed the ball from Yao Ming's crotch to O'Neal behind Yao Ming. O'Neal took the ball and roared a dunk.

"Wonderful! Qian Duoduo's pass is really wonderful. I don't know how he found the path of the pass in such a situation. This pass is difficult and very clever. It's really great, The best pass of the day." Barkley shouted loudly.

"It's really exciting. The pass is very creative. The key is that he can find O'Neal behind Yao Ming and pass the ball accurately. Most players will probably be surrounded at this time, and it is easy to make mistakes. Qian Duoduo can pass the ball smoothly and assist his teammates to score. This ability is really too strong." Kenny Smith agreed.

"I don't know if the Suns can widen the point difference this time, and whether the Rockets can continue to maintain the suspense of the game." Barkley said.

The Rockets launched an attack from the perimeter. Brooks passed the ball to Shane Battier.

Jefferson protected the backcourt rebound and handed it to Nash. Nash dribbled the ball and rushed, but the Rockets are also returning to defense very quickly, and they are always careful not to let the Suns easily break into a fast break.

So Nash controlled the rhythm, slowed down, and then he handed over the ball to Qian Duoduo, who was on the right wing.

Artest defended, and Qian Duoduo continued to make tentative moves with the ball in both hands, but Artest was unmoved.

Qian Duoduo released the ball, changed hands under his crotch, and swayed to the right, causing Artest to take a small step forward to the right. He immediately crossed the ball behind his back to the left, and then made a half-turn. Artest quickly stopped Trending to the right, twisting to the left.

But Qian Duoduo did not turn to the left, but turned halfway and then turned back, continuing to pierce to the right.

His series of movements and rhythm changes almost knocked Artest down, and he couldn't keep up anymore.

Qian Duoduo broke in from the right side, met Scola's supplementary defense, he raised the ball, dangled, jumped to the basket, faced Yao Ming's defense, and scored the ball with a toss.

"What kind of a series of breakthrough moves is this! Whether it is from the change of rhythm or the connection of breakthrough movements, it is perfect. Really, perfect! Qian Duoduo's breakthrough is already the only level in the NBA. Since After Jordan, Iverson, and Kobe, it's rare to see someone who can make such a breakthrough." Barkley clapped his hands together so hard that he didn't feel the pain in his fat hands.

"It's really unbelievable for such a tall player to make such a breakthrough. I really don't know how he did it. The dribble is fast, the ball control point is low, the rhythm of the breakthrough is well grasped, The ingenious connection of various breakthrough moves, etc., has really reached another level." Kenny Smith agreed.

"I hope the Rockets can play better, but don't let Qian Duoduo easily take the victory away." Barkley said with a smile.

Kenny Smith smiled and shook his head, are you serious?Really want to see the Rockets play well?Are you sure you don't want to go on the Toxic Rockets?

The Rockets poured the ball back and forth from the perimeter, Brooks, Battier and Artest opened up, Yao Ming sank to the left low post, Battier passed the ball in to Yao Ming, Yao Ming took the ball and shook it, feeling that it was not right Without a good shot, he passed the ball to Battier again.

Battier took the ball for a transition and continued to hit the ball in for Yao Ming.

During this back and forth, Yao Ming didn't pass the ball any more, and chose to play hard by himself. Instead of letting go and dribbling, he leaned on O'Neal, turned left, and sent the ball into the basket with a small hook.

Qian Duoduo attacked with the ball and met Artest at the top of the arc. He dribbled the ball with his left hand and Artest stepped forward to intercept it, but he missed it.

He quickly handed the ball from his left hand to his right in front of his body. Artest turned around again and reached out to intercept, but still failed to intercept successfully.

But Qian Duoduo broke through the past all of a sudden, and rushed to the free throw line. Seeing Battier move up to help defend, Qian Duoduo stopped suddenly and made a fadeaway jumper, and scored again.

"I can't defend it, I can't defend it, Qian Duoduo is playing like this, how can I defend?" Barkley smiled and shook his head, apparently full of joy for Qian Duoduo's style of play.

Among the fans who watched the game live, Rockets fans began to protest. Should Barkley be so biased when explaining the game?Shouldn't being a commentator be neutral?How did you change from a venomous commentator to a "money blowing" commentator?
However, fans of the Suns like Barkley's commentary very much. They say that Barkley is worthy of being a star of the Suns, and doing commentary is also contributing to the Suns.They especially like Barkley's praise of the opponent's team. This kind of miraculous poisonous milk is really hard to find. They want Barkley to spray a lot of poisonous milk on the opponent.

In Arizona, some business-minded merchants even named the ordinary boxed milk in their stores "Buckley's Poisoned Milk". Hey, this change of name really increased sales and made a lot of money.

Artest took the ball in the high position and swayed it twice. Of course, with his slow-motion swaying, he couldn't sway Qianduoduo.

He had to pass the ball after a few laps and transferred it to the hands of Scola, who was in an air cut. Scola, with his long hair fluttering, threw the ball out of his hands. Fortunately, the basketball bounced a few times on the rim Roll down into the net to score.

Nash gave the ball from the outside to Qian Duoduo who circled the top of the arc to catch the ball. Qian Duoduo pulled it up and shot. The basketball passed over the fingertips of Artest, who was trying to block his shot, across the air, and there were some splashes. Falling into the net, hit a three-pointer.

Artest waved his arm in frustration. He felt that he almost blocked the ball. Really, he almost missed it.

But the ending was a little bit different, basketball entered.

"Qian Duoduo came back in the second half with full firepower. Compared with the first half, he played more restrained. Facing Qian Duoduo with full firepower, can the Rockets survive? Now relying on every player of the Rockets The efforts of the players still did not allow the Suns to widen the point difference, but the Rockets seemed to be trying their best to maintain the point difference and not widen the point difference, and failed to tie the score, let alone overtake the score." Barker Lee said.

Looking back, after the Rockets downed the ball a few times, the basketball was transferred to Brooks on the outside. Brooks was open. He pulled up and fired a three-point cannonball. However, the shot was crooked, a little crooked, and the basketball hit directly. Qian Duoduo hit the rebound and got the rebound.

On the Suns side, Qian Duoduo was not fighting alone. After receiving a pass from Nash on the left wing, he took two steps to the left and sent the ball to O'Neal at the basket. The ball was lifted up, tricked into jumping behind his back, and then he turned around and dunked the ball into the basket.

During this period of time, the Suns are slowly widening the point difference.

Adelman was in a hurry and wanted a timeout. If he didn't call a timeout right now, he probably wouldn't have the chance to call a timeout again this season. It was the same as Tang Bohu ordering the roasted chicken wings in Qiuxiang.

Both Barkley and Kenny Smith hope that Adelman will really give the Rockets some useful tactics during the timeout, at least to restrain Qian Duoduo a little.

It's not over, the series is really about to end.

For the Suns, Cole didn't have any arrangements. He only asked the players to stay focused, keep the current style of play, and keep it. If there is any problem, hand the ball to Qian Duoduo.

In the playoffs, it is the stage of superstars. It is difficult to go very far with or without superstars.

Kerr, who was a teammate with Jordan, knows this truth well.

So he didn't arrange too many tactics for Qian Duoduo, he just asked him to play according to his own rhythm, play rhythm on the court, play aggressive, and play comfortably.

Back from the timeout, the Rockets attack.

The ball still hit Yao Ming, who was in the low position on the right, and Yao Ming made another small hook after changing hands. It was very accurate and continued to hit.

Yao Ming's turnaround jumper and small hook are really super useful at the basket, and few people can really defend against it.

O'Neal is getting older and moving slowly, and he has no way to effectively restrict Yao Ming.

But it doesn't matter, I can't guard you, and you can't guard me, we have a lot of money.

The Suns also handed the ball to Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo gestured to Nash, and Nash moved over to cover him.

Outside the three-point line, Nash helped Qian Duoduo block Artest, and Brooks switched to defend Qian Duoduo.

Brooks came to guard against Qianduoduo, it was a natural cash machine that didn't need a password, Qianduoduo jumped up a little bit and leaned back to shoot, and it was easy to enter.

Brooks got another open on the perimeter, and he made his next move, ready to shoot a three-pointer.

Don't shoot, don't shoot, in this game, your three-point shooting percentage is so bad, don't you have any points in your heart?

The home fans and the Rockets fans who were watching the live broadcast were shouting in their hearts, what the hell, don't waste the opportunity, pass the ball inside, let Yao Ming play.

However, Brooks obviously feels that as long as he keeps shooting, he can return his shots.

If this goal is not scored, the next goal still has to be shot, and if it is shot, it may be scored.

Of course, the ball he just threw still missed.

Looking back, Qian Duoduo also made a three-pointer from the outside and hit it, telling Brooks what it means to have a touch that is always on the line, and he doesn't take it off the line.

The point difference is widened step by step in this way.After Qian Duoduo threw in the three-pointer, he went back and scored consecutive breakthroughs. The Rockets tried their best to fight back, but there was no way to do so.

In the end, the Rockets lost 97 to 106, and the playoffs stopped in the second round.

The Suns defeated the Rockets 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
