I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 293 The Best Visiting Gift
With a total score of 3:1, the Rockets' victory is in sight.

The best performance in these two games is undoubtedly Joey Dorsey. His duel with Howard was talked about by the media and fans, and even rose to the height of Olajuwon VS O’Neal in the 1994-1995 season. .

"Dorsey is such an amazing guy. He can compete with Warcraft in jumping and strength; he can use the pass to organize the offense like Divac and dominate the Princeton offensive system; he can also dance like Olajuwon. Dream dance! He is simply an all-around genius!"

"I like Dorsey! As a veteran football fan for more than 30 years, I can pat my chest and guarantee that this guy is definitely one of the best players I have ever seen!"

"Some people scolded Dorsey for flopping before, but this time, relying on real strength, he can still kill Howard!"

"What Dorsey is best at is slapping the face besides talking!"

"Adelman should have a headache. Next season, should Dorsey become the league's top swingman, or should he be the league's number one center?"

"If Howard is the No. [-] center in the league, as the media says, then there are at least two other players, Yao Ming and Dorsey!"

"I hope to win the championship at the Toyota Center next time!"

"Who has tickets? Ask for tickets at a high price!"

……

In the Rockets fan forum, fans are full of optimistic and confident remarks.

With a total score of 3:1, winning the championship should be a sure thing. It seems that it is only a matter of time.

Of course, there have been cases of gutter overturning before, and the Rockets were one of the witnesses.

But people are still full of confidence in the Rockets, because the Rockets are no longer what they used to be. They broke through the curse of the first round and defeated the Lakers, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.The labels of weakness, confusion, confusion, and internal strife were completely torn off, and replaced by unity, perseverance, bravery, and toughness.

How can you not love such a Rockets team?

After Dayao was injured, they once experienced a brief period of confusion and confusion, but quickly stabilized their position under the leadership of Dorsey.Yes, you read that right, now the leader of the Rockets is the first-year rookie Dorsey!
McGrady is willing to keep a low profile after his return; Ci Shiping has a rough personality and is more suitable as a bodyguard and thug, rather than the team's main attacker; Battier is the leader of the locker room, but he is far from being the tactical core on the court s position.

And Dorsey did his part to assume the role of the core of tactics, and carried the banner of leading the Rockets to the championship.

People re-examined Dorsey, only to find that he does have all the potential to become a leader.He has outstanding talent, amazing physical fitness, cheerful personality, perseverance, and his teammates.Although he often can't control his mouth and likes to talk about it, what is annoying is that almost all of his words have become true.

Is it still called mouth cannon when it comes true?That is a prophecy!
In addition, he also has a successful team leadership experience, leading the University of Memphis to win the NCAA championship.

Although in that team, Rose's tactical role is more important than Dorsey, and because of suspension and injuries, Dorsey didn't play too many games, but no one can deny his leading role, it is because of him With the encouragement of talking again and again, the team was able to overcome all obstacles and win the championship trophy.

There are many ways for stars to lead the team: some people lead the team by their own role models; some people lead the team by their personality charm; , Attacking the team led by the opponent, Dorsey can be regarded as a scorpion shit-poison dung (the only one)!
The general view of the outside world is that if the Rockets win the championship, then the Finals MVP will undoubtedly belong to Dorsey, and he will also become the second rookie to win the Finals MVP after "Magic" Johnson.

However, now the super rookie who is likely to win the "Finals MVP" is a little worried.

Others don't know his secret, but he himself knows that the reason for his phenomenal performance in the first two games is due to his star card.

It's not that Dorsey looked far, but that he stood on the shoulders of Divac and Olajuwon.

But now his reserves are depleted and he's on his own.

It's not that he's afraid of Howard. He feels that his current ability is about the same as Howard's. He is more comprehensive than Howard, but Howard is more familiar with the center position. The two play styles are also very similar.

However, through these few contests, Dorsey can feel that the Magic team is stronger in terms of the strength of other players alone. Several outsiders are in their prime, with excellent shooting ability, and several of them are all-rounders. Star players, and on my own side, without Yao Ming and Mutombo, the overall strength is still slightly inferior.

The strength gap is not big, and it is not irreparable. In fact, both teams are teams with the inside as the core. Whichever side plays better inside, whichever side can mobilize teammates outside, and thus win.

Therefore, when the outside line is not dominant, I have to defeat Howard!
But can you do it yourself now?

With a total score of 3:1, it seems that the Rockets have reached the match point, but it is also very subtle. If they cannot win the next home game, they will go to Orlando for the final decisive battle. The right time, place and people are in their hands. , who will win the deer and who will win is unknown.

Therefore, this ball is very delicate, we must strive to win it at home!

Dorsey was very worried. After all, he was just a rookie in the first grade. He even thought a little aggrieved, why should he be asked to bear such a responsibility?

Is this the truth that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight first?

The night before the fifth game, he came to Dayao's house.

Dayao was lying on the bed, his feet were wrapped with thick bandages.

After expert consultation, surgery was necessary. The surgery was originally scheduled for a few days ago, but Dayao postponed the surgery. He wanted to see the Rockets win the championship with his own eyes before surgery.

Without the operation, he could still limp on one leg. With the help of crutches, he could move around a little bit. After the operation, he could not get off the ground for a long time.

"Joy, hurry up and win the championship. My injury can't be delayed anymore. I need to have surgery!"

Dayao joked.

"Yao, do you think we can win the championship?" Dorsey's answer sounded a little discouraged.

"The Long March of [-] miles has already gone through [-], and I am just about to tremble for the last time. Little comrade, why are you not confident?"

Of course, Dorsey can't say that he has run out of star cards, so he lost confidence.He can only say: "I think the opponent is likely to counterattack wildly. If they lose the home game, they will have to face the two devils away from Orlando. Maybe there is a possibility of capsized."

Dayao nodded and smiled wryly: "3:1 was overturned, I have experience in this matter."

"Hehe" Dorsey was amused by Dayao.

Dayao is such a person, full of revolutionary optimism, and can burst out a line of Yao's humor at any time.

After making the joke, Dayao became serious: "So, you have to treat this last home game as a single-game final, and you must win the opponent. Don't leave room for yourself, because that will make you lose your life." place."

Dorsey nodded heavily, "I will fight."

"No, you need more than hard work. Joey, you are now the leader of the team! I really envy you, you can become the leader in the first season, and you have done what it took me 7 seasons to achieve!"

"Yao, you are always the leader of the team!" Dorsey interrupted Dayao.

"No, Joey, I know my body. This injury, the doctor said it may take a year to recover. I am 29 years old. Even if I return to the court, I will not be able to return to my peak state. To be honest , I'm thinking about retiring."

Dorsey did not show a look of surprise, because in his previous life, Dayao returned to the court after recuperating for more than a year due to injury, but broke his bone again after playing a few games, and completely retired.

If Dayao returns to the court again, he will inevitably end up with a fracture.

"Yao, you will recover." Dorsey still comforted him.

But Dayao just smiled lightly, "Whether Kang recovers or retires is no longer up to us, it depends on God's arrangement. I used to think that if you can lead the team to break through the first round of the playoffs, your career will be endless." It's a pity, I didn't expect us to eliminate the Lakers and reach the finals. At this point, I have more expectations. I really hope to wear the championship ring! If the team falls to the finals In the finals, if I am only one step away from the championship ring, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Yao, in fact, you shouldn't regret and blame yourself, because if you were here, you would be able to easily defeat Howard and help us win the championship. Even if we lose, it will not affect the outside world's judgment on you, because you have done everything Everything you can do," Dorsey reassured.

"No, Joey, it is because of this that I will blame myself for the rest of my life. Because I can help the team win the championship, but because of this damn injury, I lost such an opportunity and affected the team. team, I will not forgive myself. However, the injury has already happened, and I can't travel back in time to change what has happened, so I can only beg you, win the Magic and win the championship. Help me, don't Let me sink into a lifetime of self-blame, okay?"

Speaking of excitement, Dayao stretched out his big hand and grabbed Dorsey's hand.

Dorsey nodded solemnly, "Brother Ming, I will definitely win the O'Brien Cup for Houston, and I will give you the championship ring as the best gift for visiting the sick!"
