The god-level lottery of the sports world

The Rockets and Jazz played a total of two playoffs in the Yao Mai era, and the 06~07 season that Hao Shuai is now experiencing is the first time the two sides have met, the two sides have played seven games, and the Rockets finally lost at home, which is the closest Yao Mai has come to the second round, and it is also the most painful time for Rockets fans.

When Hao Shuai walked out of the players’ tunnel, his vision lit up, and the Toyota Center, which could accommodate nearly 20,000 people, was full of seats, and when he and Yao Ming walked out of the tunnel, they were greeted with the warmest cheers.

“Yao! Handsome! ”

“Tracy! Tracy! ”

The cheers of the fans were deafening.

Hao Shuai stretched out his hand to greet the fans, and when he passed the camera, he deliberately grimaced.

He knew that on the other side of the ocean, millions or even tens of millions of viewers were watching the game on the TV.

The scene soon entered the player introduction, and when Yao Ming and Hao Shuai were introduced one after another, with a burst of spray of flames, the entire Toyota Center fell into a carnival.

“Guys, take out your strength to eat, we’re going to win this damn game!” Rockets head coach Van Gundy “Bald” did not pick up the tactical board, but first yelled at the players.

“Take it easy, Jeff, we’re going to win this game.” Mutombo said with a smile.

Van Gundy nodded, and then took out the tactical board and began to lay out the tactics.

Different from Hao Shuai’s era, ten years ago, the NBA was still focusing on reasonable tactics, and the offense was mostly based on mid-range and basketball positional battles, and Van Gundy also arranged a style of play centered on Yao Ming and Maddie at this time.

“Toot!”

There was a long whistle from the sidelines for the start of the game.

Van Gundy put down his tactical board and made one last encouraging gesture for the players, then let the players play.

On the Rockets’ side, the outside is “Street Ball King” Ralph Alston and Hao Shuai, the small forward is Sean Battier, and the inside is Chuck Hayes and Yao Ming.

On the Jazz side, All-Star Deron Williams and “Old Fish” Fisher are on the outside, small forward is “AK47” Kirilenko, and inside is a combination of Boozer and Oku.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming used his height to slap the ball at the Rockets in the half, and the Rockets got the opportunity to attack first.

Alstom takes the ball to the front and reaches out to make a tactical gesture.

Yao Ming was ready to ask for the ball in the low post at this time, and Alstom quickly handed the ball in.

Yao Ming catches the ball, turns around and hits Oku with his back, and after a few hard gouges, a beautiful little hook shoots the basket.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

On the Jazz’s offense, Boozer also asked for the ball in the low post, received a pass from Delon and turned his back to Hayes, turning back and throwing his hand back.

“Ugh!”

Boozer’s shot was equally steady.

Looking back, Yao Ming asked for the ball again in the low post, and the Jazz chose to pocket at this time, and Yao Ming passed the ball without looking at anyone’s mind and threw it directly to Hayes under the basket.

Hayes catches the ball and scores quickly.

The fans burst into cheers and whistles.

The Jazz’s offense, Boozer also played in the low post, this time he turned to the basket and shot caused Hayes’ hitter to foul the free throw line.

After hitting both free throws, the two teams drew 4-4.

This is the way basketball was played ten years ago, and Yao Ming and Boozer were the two low-level kills in that era. Utensil.

Yao Ming opened with a feeling of fire. Hot, Hao Shuai also handed it to him after receiving the ball, Yao Ming hit Oku on his back, a dazzling Shanghai dance move, and finally dangled Oku for a layup, which also caused the latter’s hitman foul.

With 4 points and 1 assist in the opening game, Yao Ming’s outstanding performance immediately ignited the Toyota Center.

“Yao Ming~~Yao Ming~~Death~~”

The scene soon sounded Yao’s song.

Yao walked to the free throw line, and after hitting both free throws, the Rockets led the Jazz 7-4.

In the best-of-seven battle, the Rockets came up and played home momentum.

“Defend! Defend! The audience let out one cheer after another, and the momentum was monstrous.

The Rockets’ offense, as the fans on the field rose and the players on the court became more motivated, Hayes used a forward defense against Boozer, and the Jazz had few chances to pass the ball several times.

The ball returned to DeLong, he beckoned Oku to make a block at the free throw line, after the ball was removed, Delong went inside, and Oku went outside.

The Rockets’ defensive center of gravity was pressed by DeLong and quickly contracted, and at this moment, Delong returned the ball to Oku on the outside.

Oku received the ball and shot a three-pointer, Yao Ming could not prevent too outside, at this time he could only try his best to reach out and interfere.

“Bang!”

Oku’s three-pointer smashed into the basket and then bounced into the net bag.

The cheers stopped abruptly.

The Rockets’ attack, Yao Mingluo continued to single, Oku this top of the ball is very fierce, Yao Ming turned and missed, the rebound was snatched by Boozer.

The Jazz hit the frontcourt, almost the same tactic, Delon broke through and distributed the ball to Oku, who shot again.

“Ugh!”

Oku’s hand is really good, and the second three-point shot is still scored!

At 10-7, the Jazz reversed the Rockets’ 6-0 run to overtake the score.

“Sean, pay attention to defense!” Van Gundy shouted sharply from the sidelines.

The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming played again, and after encountering the bag, he split the ball to Battier, who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

Battier hit a three-point shot and the rebound was taken by Boozer.

The Jazz attacked the frontcourt, Delon and Oku blocked again, Delon gave the ball to Oku, Battier immediately went to assist the defense, and Oku immediately distributed the ball to the weak side of Fisher.

Fisher catches the ball and shoots a straight three-pointer.

“Ugh!”

The Jazz scored three more points!

At 13-7, the Jazz’s lead has extended to six points.

Van Gundy reached out and called a pause.

Ten years ago, the inside linemen in the league were mostly low-post kills. Instruments, big guys like Oku who can shoot threes are simply a scarce species.

Other teams have no way to take Yao Ming’s inside defensive giant wall, but Oku pulled to the outside to shoot three points, and Yao Ming also had no way at all.

His role is not just to shoot two three-pointers, Fisher’s three-point just now is the effect of his containment.

Hao Shuai looked up at the score on the court at this time, and through Maddie’s eyes, he also knew why the Rockets lost in the big seven battles, which was completely different from watching it in front of the TV.
