Chapter 606 The first double play team in the playoffs
After the first half of the game between the Warriors and the Rockets, the arena suddenly entered a moment of joy for the Warriors fans!

While the fans were chatting excitedly, the Rockets' locker room was indeed a bit depressing. It was so depressing that Yao Ming, who had never seen such a scene, wanted to escape!
After a while, it seemed that this depression had reached a very uncomfortable level. As the big brother of the team, Mark Jackson frowned and said, "Gentlemen, why don't we have a good talk?"

"Hehe, yes, we can have a good discussion if there is any problem!" Mobley, the team's "second in charge" hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly echoed him!

If the oppression and solemnity in the locker room are allowed to spread, this season's playoffs will be completely destroyed by this atmosphere!

As a professional player, although he is very obsessed with money, it will be a very happy thing to be able to lead or be a member of a team that continues to improve!
However, now that the problem between Francis and Van Gundy has been brought to light, it will definitely have a huge impact on other players!

Just like a plane suddenly someone wants to open the hatch forcibly, he will eventually become the target of public criticism, and now Francis and Van Gundy are about to reach this step!

As for Van Gundy and Francis who heard their words, the former has gradually calmed down after a period of buffering. Even if he will have a complete showdown with Alexander later, after all, the playoffs are the most important now!
As the boss of the team, Francis, known as "Privilege", although he did not clearly express his anger, his indifference really made Mark Jackson, a peacemaker, frown!
As the boss of a team, although he has very great privileges and extremely high treatment, in the fact that the Rockets will obviously have a better leader, Francis' current behavior really seems so out of date!

Since the beginning of this season, Yao Ming has become the team's most important player. Even Francis, who is at the peak of his competitive state, has felt some problems between the team and Yao Ming!
But after all, the relationship between the two is very good in private, but now with Van Gundy's tactical philosophy and some too rigid arrangements, Francis gradually broke out his most rebellious side!
Seeing that the relationship between the two did not ease up, just when Mark Jackson was about to say something again, Van Gundy's sudden voice finally made him secretly relieved!

"Gentlemen, in the next second half, I need you to put forth the greatest energy on the defensive end. Our tactical philosophy is to defend, defend, and then defend, so..."

With Van Gundy's firm tone of reminders from time to time, the Rockets' locker room finally showed signs of easing up!

After that, as time passed slowly, the second half of the game finally started again amidst the cheers of the fans!
With the beginning of the third quarter, when the main players of both sides returned to the field, Van Gundy's arrangement really made some fans feel a little puzzled and frowned!

In the main lineup of the Rockets, it is still difficult to see Francis, especially in their rest area. There is no trace of Francis appearing here. Obviously, the relationship between the two has reached the point of ice and fire. !

"Hey, it looks like the Rockets are going to make a move!"

Watching the main players of the Rockets with a slightly slow speed on the court, Barkley couldn't help shaking his head secretly after turning his head to look at the calm Van Gundy!
On the court, Mark Jackson steadily brought the ball to the frontcourt, looked at Billups who was defending him in front of him, twitched his lips, and said, "Dude, I really envy your luck!"

"Hehe, Mark, if you can be two years younger, I think we will become the best teammates!!" Billups said with a hint of regret and regret in his eyes, with a hint of joke in his tone!
"Well, it seems that I have to show you the charm of an old man!"

After all, I saw that Mark Jackson was still a little slow to interact with the dribble, but the moment the voice ended, it quickly flowed!

For Mark Jackson, fancy dribbling is simply pediatrics, especially the combination of complicated footwork and his nimble hands. If this is not the NBA playoffs battlefield, some fans will definitely think that this is Rock Park in New York City of!
In Mark Jackson's perfect feint, Billups was completely dizzy!
I saw that after Jackson found the best breakthrough position, he directly broke through Billups' defense with a wipe!

After the fans at the scene saw this scene, even though Jackson was the point guard of the hostile team, he still received a lot of cheers!
"Haha, if Chauncey can be a few years older, he must be in awe when facing Mark. This guy was Locke's top player back then!"

Seeing Mark Jackson break through Billups easily like a butterfly wearing a flower, this reminded him of the demeanor of the top star from Locke!
After breaking through Billups, Mark Jackson rushed directly to the inside!

For every defender, even if he takes passing the ball as his goal, everyone will master the breakthrough skills skillfully!
Just like Jackson now, the moment he stepped into the penalty area, he used his indistinguishable fake moves to attract the attention of Duncan inside and Nowitzki in the high position!

When the concentration and self-analysis of the two reached the highest point, I saw that Jackson was like a jumping and agile civet cat. , directly handed over the basketball to Yao Ming who had a better chance inside!

"boom!!"

With a bang, Yao Ming seemed to release all the grievances he had felt before. The movement of him pulling the basket clearly showed his current emotions!

After that, with the second half of the third quarter, both sides replaced their substitutes one after another. The Rockets had a pretty good offense and defense before, and finally fell into a struggle again. This is where the strength of the Warriors lies. The league's top bench lineup!
"drop!"

After the third quarter, although the Rockets played a very good game with Yao Ming's 8 points in a single quarter, after all, basketball is a five-person sport, and this quarter is still behind the Warriors by 5 points many!
Back off the field, Van Gundy angrily left all the notes in his jacket pocket on the ground, staring at the players who looked tired and didn't play very well, under the anger that Francis provoked before, he once again felt Great negativity arose!
In the end, when the fourth quarter game completely turned into garbage time in the last 6 minutes, the Warriors' home court was only left with continuous cheers and applause!
"drop!!"

A whistle completely ended the Rockets' tormented wait. At the end of the game, they quickly left the arena one by one as if they had something to remember. Everyone looked a little heavy!

"Haha, I said that we will use hearty battles to completely end the first round of the duel!" West laughed and stood up, speaking confidently to Bruce!

"Hehe, if the Rockets can pay more attention to their training goals, I think their future is exciting!"

Bruce said slowly with a smile, but the Rockets' heyday when they had Yao Ming in the future came to mind involuntarily!
After the first game against the Rockets, the Warriors beat them again at home!
In this game, the Warriors still used their strong lineup and smooth tactics to bring the Rockets a feeling like ice water!

In the first quarter, when the Rockets still lacked Francis, the Warriors had no intention of letting go. Under the double explosion of Duncan and Nowitzki, they completely blew up the Rockets in this quarter. The inside twin towers!
In this quarter, except for Yao Ming, the Rockets scored 6 points and 4 rebounds, and the players in the other four positions basically did not score 4 points!
From their data, we can see how strong the Warriors are betting on the defensive end in this game!
In the second quarter, with the appearance of substitute players from both sides, the Rockets finally narrowed the difference between the two teams by relying on the explosion of Scott Padgett, who also played for the Jazz last season!
However, in the second half of the second quarter, after the main players of both sides appeared on the field one after another, the scene that made Van Gundy extremely depressed happened again!

The main players of the Rockets are still in a slump. After Yao Ming is finally specially entertained by Duncan, it is really very difficult for the Rockets to score!

After halftime, the Warriors went directly to the locker room with a score of 60:46!

As for the Rockets, the players' expressions were still very solemn, and Van Gundy's face was still a little ugly. When they returned to the locker room, there was an unbearable silence, which really hurt the self-confidence of these players. !
After the intermission, as the second half of the game began, the Warriors no longer put their main players on the court for a long time, but let those players who participated in the playoffs for the first time have a good time. Of course, They must perform as they should, otherwise Wilkens will not give them so many opportunities to perform!

In the end, as the whistle sounded for the entire game, the Warriors directly became the first team to reach 2:0 in the entire playoffs by virtue of a double play at home!
And as the Warriors double-killed the Rockets at home, Bruce was completely frightened by Charlize Theron's bursts of pain!
