Center first

Chapter 308
Perhaps the day just passed was the happiest night for the fans of country Z. After Lin Yi bloodbathed the Eagles and entered the second round of the playoffs, the Houston Rockets have been stopped in the first round of the playoffs for several years They finally broke through that layer of magic barrier in their own home court, they controlled the situation on the court in their own chassis, and finally prevented their opponents from staging a Jedi counterattack.

The Portland Trail Blazers, who were trying to tie the total score in the away game, fell into chaos at the beginning of the second quarter, and Brandon Roy's consecutive breakthroughs failed to save the team. In the space under the basket filled with red, a big yellow-skinned hand ended all the extravagant hopes of this ruthless breakthrough master.

Although the statistics of the two blocked shots are not many, only he knows the pain caused by that slap to Roy. The big man wearing No. 11 has always used it at the most critical moment in the last three or four games. His height has won opportunities for the Houstonians, and today he is no exception. Two fatal blocks directly extinguished the momentum of the Blazers' counterattack.

Although YAO's 17 points and 10 rebounds are not surprising statistics, he let the three big men of the Trail Blazers collectively fall into a passive situation with too many fouls, Oden, Aldridge, Pulzby Well, these three guys together committed a total of thirteen fouls, only one of which was against Brooks who broke through to the inside, and the rest were all caused by YAO's strong attack inside.

Look at Uncle Ao’s sad face. He got 16 fouls in 4 minutes and only scored 3 points. I’m afraid this kind of result will add a few horizontal lines to his vicissitudes of face. The reason why the latter lost the last chance to win the game. In the six games, they did not have any time to take advantage of the inside competition.

Even if they have four big men around 11 meters, it doesn't matter. The only thing they can do is to see the strong No. [-] forcefully smashing a path under their own basket, or shooting or splitting the ball. Probably the only memory these guys have of the game, the insanely strong guy teasing their four big men with his not-so-quick feet.

Now maybe the Portland Trail Blazers fans hate the two big men with yellow skin, because these two guys have given them two of the most painful psychological knives, one is during the regular season , and the other is to end their playoff dreams. These two big men from the same country are really annoying.

But now the fans in country Z have begun to look forward to the dream of Lin Yi and YAO teaming up to build a mobile Great Wall for them again under the basket. Nothing is impossible. One of these two guys has height and strength under the basket, while the other has flexibility. Changeable foot movement and super jumping ability.

Houston fans now love the guy who gave them space at the rim. For the first time since that humble guy came to Houston, he really acted like a strong leader. He took the initiative to attack the ball. This is why those crazy fans cheered for him after the game, because on this night, his performance was enough to be respected.

Although the score of 92:76 is not bright compared to Lin Yi's situation, it is enough to drive the fans in Houston crazy. After all, they have fallen from the highest peak for a long time. After losing McGrady completely this year , Few people may believe how far they will go in the playoffs, but in such a passive situation, the Rockets gave the Houstonians a surprise.

Without McGrady's sharp breakthrough, and without McGrady's support on shooting, the Rockets with two young point guards on the road played the most beautiful round of the game, whether it is offense or defense, what they can do is enough Okay, okay, let Adelman, a guy who is crazy about offense, can't find any faults.

Relying on the normal performance of the combination of Yao and Artest, the Houstonians finally broke the curse of not being able to pass the first round, but the promotion process still lacks sufficient stability, and the fragile psychological quality of these guys is also artificial. Their second-round journey felt worried, but the road to promotion was full of irony. After losing their team's most threatening offensive weapon, the entire Rockets suddenly played the most layered offensive combination. I don't know how McGrady, who sat on the bench and watched the whole process, would feel in the face of such a situation.

At least on this night, Houston does not belong to him. Only YAO, Artest, Scola, Battier, and even the little black bean Brooks are enjoying the cheers of 2 people in the center of the venue. I don’t know When the once glorious scorer sat on the bench and saw all this, was he regretting the damn injury on his knee, or sighing for his own doomed life?

Looking at the teammates who were worshiping in the middle of the field, although there was a smile on McGrady's face, the decline revealed inside might not be noticed by him, because everything that happened in front of him seemed to have nothing directly to do with him. He is just a spectator who has been sitting on the sidelines for a season, and the orange basketball has gradually left his life.

The talented scorer who has been stopped in the first round of the playoffs for several years can only stand on the sidelines and watch the game. Not many people in Houston now care about what is going on in this guy's heart. They only care about what is in front of them. Will the sweat-soaked big men continue to bring them miracles, and the genius they once worshiped has been forgotten in the corner.

Wearing a brand-name casual suit and being taller than others by a head does not make McGrady the protagonist in this scene. The only thing he can do now is to high-five his teammates, but looking at the sweat on those guys' faces, Maybe McGrady doesn't know what it's like in his heart. If he has a healthy body, maybe he should be among the big men.

But does he still have the courage to continue standing there, standing under the basket full of arms and tricks, maybe the twitching sensation on his back has reminded him that he is no longer young, and he once had sleepy eyes. The guy can no longer use his sharp feet to pierce the opponent's position, at least now he has no way to do something for this team.

Perhaps only when he left the side of the field and away from the cheering crowd, his back can make people feel a little desolate. Maybe it is not accurate to evaluate McGrady with weakness. At least he used to be able to take off with the ball when he was in a healthy body. Indomitable, he plunged directly into the crowd to complete various unimaginable layups, and even directly pressed his opponent to make a dunk.

Maybe he is just an ordinary person with perfect talent, although technically he has no faults, but at least in terms of toughness, he is still just a big man who can stand out from everyone, with the best Talent does not mean that he also has a big heart that can overcome everything. The only thing missing from McGrady who turned around and left may be a tenacious desire to win.

But let's not criticize this guy who is full of pain. After all, not everyone has the desperate spirit of Kobe and Iverson. No one is McGrady. No one knows this guy with sleepy eyes. Exactly how many things he has endured, not everyone is like him, and nine relatives and friends have died in a row within ten years. If it were you, I think, you might have collapsed.

He is just a very ordinary person, not a god. Don’t use other people’s standards to judge everyone vertically. At least he has flown, and he has also brought a very beautiful hope to Houston, although that hope was broken in the end. Distressed, just like his fragile back nerves and the tiny wound on his knee.

Maybe he, who lives in isolation, will quietly sink his heart, and let this once exciting guy recover in some corner. Although this night has nothing to do with him, maybe one day this guy will use a so-called The expected posture came to the basketball court again, gliding gracefully with the orange basketball.

Finish the opponent with the most elegant drive, or draw the most rounded arc from beyond the three-point line, and the guy who once had a flowing foot will once again use his sharp feet to pierce the opponent's net set for him. , using the most elegant posture to complete the unimaginable offensive action in the air, and once again staged a miracle that no one else could replicate.

The figure turning around and leaving may be the end of a miracle, but it may become another starting point for him. At least he has given us a lot. The miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes is not for everyone. I look forward to the day when this guy can really return to this place and continue to write legends with his big hands again, for you and for me.

(Just to make a statement, I am not Mai Hei, I also said Mai Mi, but I feel sorry for this fragile guy, but you and I are not him, after all, he has brought us many beautiful pictures, cheering for this guy who is making a comeback Applause, it's not pity, it's just for the excitement he once brought us, please don't be stingy with your cheering.)
The carnival in Houston only lasted for a brief moment. After all, what Adelman has to consider now is their next opponent, which is not a rookie in the playoffs like the Trail Blazers. The championship impact, and Houston now has no advantage in any aspect compared with its opponents in terms of staffing and playoff experience.

Even the supporters of the Rockets themselves are praying for their team. They don’t ask much, as long as they are not swept away by their opponents. They just need the Rockets, which lack the sharpest weapons, to show their spirit. Come on, at least don't be intimidated by that Peter Pan, even if you die, you have to stand on the field and fight with your opponent until the last second.

On May 5, the last semifinal spot in the Eastern Conference was finally locked. The Bostonians survived for 3 minutes in an atmosphere of fear. They did not let a tragedy happen in the end. In this life-and-death battle, experience finally played its role Most usefully, when the two teams were fighting in the last few minutes, the Celtics who suddenly started decided the final result with a small climax of 48:8.

109:99, a full ten-point difference, but few people who haven't watched the game may have imagined that these two teams were still biting together in the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, but this is the experience As a result, the seasoned Ray Allen and Garnett broke out at the last moment, and the two-line attack from outside and inside directly defeated the Bulls' defensive line.

Maybe the Bulls are paying for their youth. They messed up after their opponent scored two goals in a row. Gordon couldn't even score a simple layup, let alone Noah's robbing The foul action during the defensive rebound, they finally lost to those so-called experience hands, and Derrick Rose's desperate attack at the last moment also seemed a bit lonely.

But these young Bulls give people a hope, maybe these guys will bring more surprises to the audience in the next playoffs, at least they have shown their potential this year, especially Derrick Rose's ability to control the game, although he has not yet reached the point of perfection, but he has surpassed many older guys than him.

But even if this guy has played his life, the best rookie honor waiting for him may still not be in his hands, because there is another guy who is better than him. It seems that this year's new forces are destined to be against him. The structure of this league has undergone a shock. As for where Lin Yi can go in the game, let us continue to pay attention. Anyway, this kid will always surprise people.

These defending champions finally defended their dignity. They did not fall in the first round of the playoffs, but now no Celtics supporter dares to continue to say that they will definitely win against the Magic. Such a sluggish state may have heralded the ups and downs of the road to defending the title, or the end.

On May 5th, the first playoff game of the Miami Heat, but they are going away to enjoy the thrill of entering the second round, and the little emperor has already uttered harsh words to the media, they want to continue the Quicken Loans They won't lose any games easily. It seems that the little emperor has already entered his role. He is waiting for Wade and Lin Yi to visit him.

Compared with the more polite little emperor, the tempers of the other members of the Cavaliers may not be so good, especially because there is Lin Yi's enemy there, who was directly overwhelmed by Lin Yi when he attacked under the basket last time. The Brazilian Varejao didn't forget the injury that Lin Yi's elbow caused him back then, this guy was waiting for Lin Yi to come to his territory to avenge this.

"I want that scumbag to know how good the Cavaliers are. This isn't Miami, and the Cavaliers aren't a team like the Eagles that can make opponents break records. Is that guy trying to take so many rebounds from me? It is absolutely impossible, Big Z and I will make him suffer, that insidious guy will know what is called the scariest arena!"

"I want that guy to know what a man's muscular confrontation is. The interior of our Cavaliers is not made of mud. Cleveland only has a defense like a copper wall. Let him try to see if he can hit it. I just want to I can assure you he's going to regret getting to the hoop because this isn't where he lives, boy, let's see you on the court."

"This place will become that guy's nightmare. I hope this brat won't be scared to pee his pants. No one will forget what happened last time. A guy like him who relies on foul tricks to win the game is definitely not worth it." Let no one respect him, shit Rookie of the Year candidate, that guy is just a sleazy coward, I bet this guy wouldn't even come face to face with me."

"I'm going to break him down like a man, show him what real basketball is about, show him what a big man is supposed to do, let him put those dirty claws away, no one in the Cavaliers will let He's going to be fine, just wait, then he will regret that his parents brought him into this world, just wait and see!"

Maybe even the reporter who interviewed the Cavaliers didn’t expect that the Brazilian would say so much in front of the TV camera. The TV camera seems to have become his vent channel, as can be seen from the provocative expression, This guy's hatred for Lin Yi has almost penetrated into his bones, at least in the next game, he will definitely not let Lin Yi have a good life.

The little emperor who was standing not far from the side to be interviewed by others certainly heard what the Brazilian was saying, but he didn't stop the guy from declaring war. In his heart, the little emperor also had feelings for the big man. A lot of upset, the scene of being blown away has been circulated countless times these days, and now the little emperor also has a lot of anger hidden in his heart.

However, due to his identity, it is inconvenient for him to spray these dissatisfaction in front of the TV camera. There is nothing wrong with a Brazilian saying what he wants to say in his heart. At least his resentment towards Lin Yi is definitely not much less than that Brazilian. , and he is right, Quicken Loans Arena is not American Airlines Arena, and the Cavaliers are not the Eagles, this is going to be a trip to hell for Miami, boy, this is where your playoffs end, don't Delusional to move on, I will not let you pass my level.

Look at what the resentful Brazilian said to the reporter. It seems that this guy is destined to fight Lin Yi at the basket, but when he said that Lin Yi was mean, everyone in Miami The team members collectively used a method to comment on his words. This group of big men who had just finished training and were replenishing water collectively sprayed water from their mouths on the floor because of such a sentence.

"Your mother, the flop king of the league can call others despicable in front of the TV screen so righteously, what era is this?" Wade said while wiping the water stains flowing from his mouth, not only He had nothing to say, and even Spoelstra, who has always been shameless, was speechless to Varejao's remarks. After all, when this person is shameless, it is really scary.

"Damn, after watching this interview, I feel that I am as pure as a little white flower." Old Bell coughed and said, the TV show just now made him choke, it's your uncle's fault Well, there must be a limit to being shameless, well, when you say others are mean, at least look in the mirror to see your own face.

"Oh, it seems that I still need to practice. Compared with him, I'm really not shameless enough, especially his righteous words, I... can't say it, what a failure." Si Poelstra's heartbroken expression caused the entire Miami training ground to be flooded again. All the big guys who just drank their second sip of water once again collectively came back to the fountain operation. It seems that today's stadium cleaning staff Really have to work hard.

Who is the source of the grievances between Lin Yi and Varejao? Of course, these guys from the Miami Heat are very clear, so they don't care how the Brazilian makes noise on TV. Anyway, Lin Yi will never give this What kind of fruit is the guy eating? If it is better than flopping, that guy is obviously not professional enough. Lin Yi is definitely from a professional background, and he is not at the same level as his wild way.

"Fall him to death?" Wade asked Lin Yi softly.

"No, kill him." Lin Yi responded with a very righteous expression.

"Let him disappear for a while?" Wade held out a finger.

"I hope it's the entire playoffs." Lin Yi answered Wade's question very succinctly. After answering, he went to practice his mid-range shooting. Only Wade was left looking at his finger and muttering. In a word.

"Your uncle, I will never offend this guy as long as I live, it's too fucking ruthless." Wade looked at the tall figure and quietly wiped the sweat from his face.

But a few minutes later, when Wade was practicing strength with Lin Yi, he vaguely heard the big man muttering something.

"Pray to God, Brazilians, I hope that after this time, you will understand what it means to speak out. It would be great if your parents used those 10 minutes for a walk..."

If just now Wade had a drop of sweat dripping from his face, then now he can clearly feel that the top of his head has exploded like a waterfall, sweating profusely. . .

A day later, all the league's regular season awards were announced. The little emperor ascended to the throne of the regular season MVP without any suspense, and Lin Yi took the honor of the best rookie without any surprise. It seems that the league has given them The subsequent duels have been paved in advance. As for who will finally get the tickets to the Eastern Conference finals, we can only look at May 5, which is the day when the war kicks off.

Good luck to Lin Yi, I hope this guy can really shock the whole world, oh, good luck to someone too, I hope he won't be really tricked, but Lin Yi always keeps his word If you arrive, let's pray for that person, I hope he won't die too badly.

(21 wins and 5 losses... The Celtics are going crazy? Now they find that they rarely use their absolute main force to fight for more than 30 minutes on the court. Such an average playing time and efficiency, if they are included in the playoffs , it may really make people desperate... I don't know if the potential opponents are already sweating secretly... The click has exceeded 100W... It's a miracle... Are you embarrassed to express it?)
