Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 51 51 [Have you earned it?]

Compared with the Rockets fans who hide their faces and feel lonely, the Spurs fans are completely insane.

It's not easy for the Houston Rockets, but is it easy for the San Antonio Spurs?

The same Texas team, Dallas has Cuban, the big devil, Houston has a space center, what does San Antonio have?
For so many years, just like living in a poor family, the Spurs seem to have always had only one principle, and it will always be three years of sewing and mending.

Sometimes, you just have to give this small city a thumbs up and applaud this low-key team.

Gregg Popovich and the city's fans have never known what it's like to be extravagant, whether it's the GDP era or today's Double Virtues era.

Maybe God is always so fair, he also knows 20 years, he has to do something for this arena.

Therefore, Jiang Hao was born, and therefore, Dejounte Murray rose.

Therefore, after the stumble, an invincible team quickly took shape.

"Let it all start with the black eight" many Spurs fans played this slogan.

On the court, the momentum of the two teams completely showed two completely different situations.

The Spurs played more and more smoothly, while the Rockets played more and more confused.

Maybe the Rockets really lack a real leader. The fighting spirit they showed in the predicament made many people frown. As the nominal leader of the team, James Harden even voluntarily applied for exit at the end of the third quarter .

"If it was Michael or Kobe, they would never give up at this time"

In the TNT live broadcast room, even Kenny Smith couldn't stand it any longer. Harden's fighting spirit was extremely fragile.

"Perhaps it's not just James Harden's problem. As far as the basketball world is concerned, the general fighting spirit of the players needs to be improved. In our era, you can hardly see a guy who voluntarily disarms." Barkley curled his lips. On this point, he and O'Neill have always had the same point of view.

The game basically lost suspense after more than 2 minutes in the fourth quarter, because at this time the Spurs had already achieved an 18-point lead.

As far as all the Rockets players on the field are concerned, Chris Paul should be the one with the most veteran player characteristics. He is the only player on the Rockets who has not given up.

But he is no longer the omnipotent queen bee in the Hornets period. When he tried his best, injuries instantly became his biggest enemy.

That's right, the rocket house was leaking and it was raining continuously, and Chris Paul was injured!
On the court, Chris Paul fell to the basket in great pain. He clutched his knee tightly, and everyone couldn't help but feel tight, especially the Rockets, because they knew very well that Paul's position was injured.

Although they are leading by a large score, although it seems that they have basically won this series, Jiang Hao and the Spurs players are not happy at this time, because they are both professional players, and their common enemy is actually only one. It is injury.

No one wants to see someone get hurt. For Jiang Hao, although he has some grievances with Paul, he also doesn't want to see the latter get hurt.

"Chris Paul is injured. This is very bad news. For the Houston Rockets, their season is really coming to an end. It is hard to imagine that the Rockets without Chris Paul can play any games worth looking forward to."

At the beginning of the season, after Chris Paul came to the Rockets, judging from the game, although his average per game, as a very good point guard, Paul's arrival completely liberated James Harden, who can regain Returning to the position of shooting guard, he can devote himself to scoring. Moreover, in addition to being a top organizer, Paul is also very powerful on the defensive end. He is the rare guard in the league with both offense and defense. Paul's defense It is also very important for the Rockets.

But now, Chris Paul fell, and 2 minutes later, with the assistance of a stretcher, Paul left the court with a very ugly face. For him, the season is basically over.

"Maybe this is fate. At the beginning, Morey brought Chris Paul to the Rockets in the seven-for-one deal that shocked the league. At that time, everyone believed in the super backcourt composed of Harden and Paul. This combination will definitely make the Houston Rockets a strong contender for the championship.”

"In fact, judging from their regular season record of beating all teams in the league, this did not disappoint everyone, but in the first round of the playoffs, the Houston Rockets made a joke with the world. Losing two games in a row, they almost watched the San Antonio Spurs take the victory step by step. People must understand that it was still when Kawhi Leonard did not come back. After three games, when a complete silver-and-gray team is shown in front of the world, everyone must admit that the season of the Houston Rockets is basically over."

"I mean from this point of view, did the seven-for-one big deal really make money? Their record doesn't even look as good as last season. Last season, they at least reached the Western Conference semifinals."

In the TNT live broadcast room, he uttered the questions that had troubled him for a long time in a serious manner.

That is, does Chris Paul really make money from coming to the Rockets?
"Well, judging from the current situation, this is not a Goldbach conjecture. Chris Paul is injured. The team is basically behind 0:3 in the series. Even with the peak Michael Jordan possessing James Harden, they It is also impossible to stage a scene where three chase four."

Barkley gave a final conclusion to O'Neill's question.

beep!
Finally, with the whistle of the referee, the game officially ended.

114: 99!

The Spurs, who played at home, made another victory without accident.

3: 0!

They hold the match point and are one step away from advancing to the next round.

What makes Rockets fans even more desperate is that the next game is still at the Spurs' home court.

After the game, Jiang Hao looked extremely excited, with 17 points and 6 assists. Compared with the previous two games, his data in this game was obviously much darker.But he has to admit, this is the easiest game he's ever played.

After Leonard came back, it was clear that he was no longer the one who attracted the most hatred.

And Leonard also performed very well. Although he is the core of the Rockets' marking, he still scored 25 points.

"We played very well, both offensively and defensively, our coordination was very good"

"Obviously, he is such a player. As the leader of the team, I am very grateful to Jiang for standing up to save the team. As for now, we don't want to think too much, let's take it step by step."

The unsmiling Leonard praised Jiang Hao after the game, which also surprised many people.
