Chapter 103 Another Approval of Management

What the media didn't know was that the Rockets actually put a little water in the first game against the Suns, which was brought up late.

In response to D'Antoni's weakness of playing the main force, the Rockets deliberately arranged tactics so that the point difference between the two sides would not be widened too much, so that the Suns, who were eager to chase points, had to consume more energy from the main lineup.

Even players like the Suns are at their peak, and they certainly can't stand the continuous crazy consumption.

Being able to propose such a tactic is due to the strong self-confidence of the team. Almost everyone in the Rockets believes that as long as the Big Three are on the court together, they will not be able to lose this series, even if the Suns players perform at a super level and win. In one or two games, the final victory will also belong to the Rockets Big Three.

The Rockets also implemented this tactic in the second game, but they almost overturned.

In this game, Nash and Bell showed their power from the outside. The two teamed up and shot 60% of the three-pointers. Before the start of the fourth quarter, they once led the Rockets by 15 points!
It's a pity that the Rockets were not in a hurry, determined to focus on the advantage of Yao Ming inside, and finally took the victory into their own hands.

Afterwards, the third game was moved to Houston. The Suns players, who did not want to fall into despair, did their best and finally grabbed a victory from the Rockets.

But they also paid a heavy price for this. Lagabel strained his thigh muscle due to fatigue and will miss at least the rest of the series. He lost his top wing defender. The Suns' performance in the first few games was barely good The defensive strategy will fail, which makes the Suns locker room gloomy.

On the other hand, the Rockets, even if they lose a game, are as stable as Mount Tai.

In this series, the playing time of the Big Three has been effectively controlled. Yao Ming's playing time is only 32 minutes per game, McGrady's playing time is slightly longer, only 35 minutes, and the late playing time is even only 27 minutes!

This is tantamount to telling the world that the Big Three haven't started fighting seriously yet.

In the post-match news interview after the third game, Nash admitted in frustration that Lagabel’s injury made the team lose its last hope. It has become almost impossible for the Suns to reach the finals extravagant hope.

D'Antoni also said that if it weren't for Stoudemire's absence due to injury, the Suns would not have had a chance to compete-the implication is that they admitted that they could not limit Yao Ming.

In the three games that have been played, Yao Ming's efficiency is extremely high. Because he didn't play much time, he averaged only 27.8 points per game, but his efficiency is amazing, completely blowing up all the inside of the Suns on both offensive and defensive ends -- Bao Risdio, Tim Thomas, and D'Antoni have such personalities, making people think that the Suns only have 8 players.

The ratings of the series between the Rockets and the Suns were extremely high, and the Suns held high the banner of offense, anyway, they were fighting for points against the Rockets.

Although the Rockets suppressed the number of offensive rounds, but because they have a comprehensive advantage inside and outside the line, the offensive efficiency is extremely high, and the scoring is also not low.

The ratings of the Pistons and Heat in the Eastern Conference finals were much lower. If it weren't for the support of the super giant O'Neal, no one would watch their games.

Pat Riley was also the head coach of the league based on defense at the beginning, and the defensive system left by Larry Brown to the Pistons was completely unaffected. Never appeared in 120+ games.

All subsequent developments were not as expected by the media and experts. The Suns who won a victory from the Rockets had burned everything they had, and they were defeated by the Rockets in the fourth game.

The two sides staged an almost undefended offensive battle. In the end, the Rockets, relying on the stable performance of the Big Three, beat the Suns by 40 points, completely declaring that this round of the series has lost suspense.

On June 6, the Suns, who had completely lost their spirits, had no resistance at home, and were slaughtered by the Rockets for 1 points, and finally watched the Rockets break into the finals with a score of 33:1.

It may be because they have already been mentally prepared. The Suns players were quite calm. After the game, Nash hugged Late vigorously. As expected, Late should have grown taller. Standing together, the two of them already had a more obvious height difference.

Stoudemire in suits and ties also congratulated the Rockets players. In an interview after the game, he said: "For the team and me, this is a difficult season. I suffered serious injuries that could destroy my career. Many media asserted that even if my surgery is successful, my athletic ability will decline sharply, and it will be impossible to support the team's inside offense. However, these worries are superfluous. I have already obtained the latest CDPPE from the laboratory in Houston. Just look at McGrady now. I am full of confidence that I can return to the top. More importantly, I have not been idle during this season's injury. I have worked hard to develop Apart from my mid-range shooting ability, I believe that when I come back next season, I will surprise all those who underestimate me. I also insist that our Suns are still a strong contender for the championship-don’t forget, the Rockets don’t have Cap space to re-sign their Big Three!"

Stoudemire's words are probably the only good news for Suns fans.

Some fans even discussed on the Internet, why didn't Stoudemire contact him late this season when he was just injured, and ask him to get new medicine?
As a result, people familiar with the situation immediately analyzed that CDPPE has not yet obtained a marketing license for some hard-to-say reasons, nor has it entered the stage of mass industrial production. Due to various reasons and psychology, not everyone Willing to try new drugs, and McGrady has not played the game because of conflicts with the management after undergoing surgery. , but adopted traditional treatment methods.

Fortunately, McGrady's return to the peak performance this season has proved how defiant Late's ability in medical research and development is. The new medicine he developed is like black technology, and has become a blessing for professional players.

Now not only NBA players are concerned about McGrady's return to the peak, but even those NFL (rugby league) MLB (American Major League Baseball) NHL (hockey league) athletes are also concerned about the launch time of CDPPE.

There are all kinds of discussions on the Internet, and there are all kinds of things.

However, netizens generally believe that lateness has become the last existence that professional athletes dare not mess with because of the drug patents they own. Otherwise, why would Kevin Garnett publicly apologize for being late after being taught a lesson?
Because of McGrady's perfect performance in the second half of the season, the late new drug has attracted more attention than the Pistons and Heat's Eastern Conference Finals.

Some netizens complained on the Internet: "Come on, let me watch the Eastern Conference Finals? I'm not a masochist. Watching that kind of defensive battle is not interesting at all. I prefer to watch late three-pointers. He is the first one to let me A player who thinks three-pointers can also be exciting, I really love him."

"Even Stoudemire said that the Rockets don't have the salary space to renew the contract. Let's guess which team he will go to next season? I think it will be the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have Kobe. They should have a good reputation for the late team." Attractive, and they still have plenty of salary space, the relationship between the Lakers and the Rockets has always been good, I think the Lakers will become a strong contender for the championship next season."

"Come on, it's impossible to go to LA late, let him go to be the second head of some blacksmith? I think that is an insult to him. Now he is good enough to be the head of a team, and according to Insider information, the reason McGrady was able to play again before was because he was late and made a concession, promising to sign with the Rockets and then trade after the contract ends."

"Shameless Rockets management, they are the most stupid guys I have ever seen."

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet about Late's future path. As the person involved, Late was caught by Tian Ying immediately after returning home.

The 15-year-old girl is already slim, her height has reached 171cm, her body has also developed, and she has a somewhat protruding and backward shadow. He took Erha "to brother" and asked the late clothes : "Brother, are you sure you won't stay in Houston this summer? Do you have any plans for where you want to go?"

Late gently patted her hand away, and said with a smile, "Even if I want to stay in Houston, the league will not allow it. Moreover, the Rockets' transfer operation this summer is really disappointing. Even if they kneel and beg me, I will won't stay here anymore."

"What about Dayao? He is so nice."

Yao Ming and Tian Ying often meet each other and treat the little girl like a sister. They have a very good relationship.

Late was silent for a moment, he knew that it was impossible for Yao Ming to leave the Rockets.

Don’t look at Yao Ming who has been complaining for a while, saying that he regrets renewing his contract with the Rockets in advance, but that is a typical deep love and hatred. If it is said that in order to chase the championship, Yao Ming may still leave the Rockets, but now he Having already won the championship and FMVP, it is possible to taste the taste of the championship again this year. For Yao Ming, the honor he is pursuing is almost the same.

But from the player's point of view, the Rockets are really not a good team. The team's general manager Morey believes in it, which makes it difficult for the team to become a contender for the championship. The team owner Alexander is stingy. Ghost, only money is in his eyes. Yao Ming is sacrificing himself by staying in the Rockets.

I even regretted being late. I shouldn’t have verbally promised to renew his contract with the Rockets for the sake of the team’s record and possession of the ball. A satisfactory maximum salary, but it is clear that the Rockets are just trying to make a lot of money in the next transaction.
