NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

As the two commentators guessed, Lowry passed the ball to Al Jefferson, who played against Yao Ming with his back to the basket.

He tried to turn around and shoot, but was tightly defended by Yao Ming. In desperation, he passed the ball.

The ball was in Kevin Love's hands. Seeing that the offensive time was running out, Love made a slight adjustment and jumped to shoot.

However, 18 Card jumped up quickly and stretched out his arms. Although he did not block the ball, he played a role in interference. The basketball bounced out of the basket. Love was still complaining that 18 Card touched his hand when he shot, but why would the referee choose to blow the whistle at this moment?

Yao Ming blocked Jefferson's position, but who would have thought that Corey Brewer would quickly come in from the outside and jump to make a tip-in in one go.

121-120, 15.7 seconds left, the Rockets were 1 point behind!

Tang Yu rolled his eyes. At the critical moment, Harden still failed to favor Brewer in the rebounding competition.

The Rockets' Dynasty Center was immediately so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Now it was the final moment of life and death.

Timeout, the Rockets players went off the court and sat on the bench. Tang Yu took the tactical board and sat in front of the players.

"Sean, you will be responsible for serving the ball. Serge and Yao Ming will all go to the weak side to provide corner screens for Stephen. James, you will be responsible for singles. If no one helps, you can use double step-back shots. I believe in you!"

Tang Yu chose to give the decision of the last ball to Harden. Even Harden himself did not react. No matter how you count, he is the third choice at this critical moment, but he did not raise any objections.

Yao Ming did not raise any objections either. He knew that Tang Yu must have a reason for doing this. He chose to trust his coach.

15.7 seconds, Battier served the ball to James Harden in the frontcourt. Corey Brewer defended Harden alone. "Big Refrigerator" McHale would never dream that the Rockets would let Harden play alone.

After Harden got the ball, the Rockets players followed the tactics normally. Yao Ming, Ibaka and Curry were all on the weak side, Battier was in the strong side corner, and Harden was in the middle right position, constantly using crossover steps to confuse Brewer.

Although Tang Yu did not say it, Harden also knew that his team was now behind, and he still had to attack quickly for this ball. If he didn't score, there would be a chance to foul.

Harden suddenly lowered his center of gravity and made a ricochet start to make a breakthrough illusion. The two inside players of the Timberwolves were frightened and immediately shrank. Brewer also wanted to block Harden with his body.

But Harden pulled back from his hips and connected two steps back to the three-point line very smoothly. Brewer's speed was also very fast, and he rushed directly to Harden.

Harden jumped lightly and sent the ball out with a soft touch. This three-pointer was like a meteor across the sky and flew to the Timberwolves' basket.

'Beep'

The referee whistled, and Brewer rushed too hard and violated Harden's cylinder, which meant that if this ball didn't go in, the Rockets still had the opportunity to make three free throws.

But Harden's 100-step shooting was like a bullet that deeply penetrated the hearts of the Timberwolves players.

'Swish' a steady three-pointer!

3+1!

"Ah~~~! Come on!" James Harden roared while sitting on the floor in Houston!

Harden, with his eyes wide open, was like a lion. The other four Rockets quickly ran towards Harden and pulled him up from the ground.

Then the four of them bumped their chests with Harden to celebrate.

Is there still a chance for free throws? When Harden stood at the free throw line, a small group of spectators shouted MVP, and then slowly evolved into a shouting by the whole audience!

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

After Harden's sluggish performance in the first half and only scored 5 points, he scored 21 points in the second half. After the free throw was hit steadily, Harden's score reached 27 points.

124-121!

The Rockets overtook by 3 points, and there were still 8.8 seconds left in the game!

Timberwolves coach McHale called the last timeout!

The Rockets bench cheered, and the 34-game winning streak was waving to the Rockets.

Tang Yu was excited, but he was calm on the surface. He said to all the players: "Patrice, Danny, Sean, Serge and A-Lian, you five will play in a while. Remember not to foul and don't double-team!"

Considering Jordan's mobility, Tang Yu decided to let A-Lian, who moves faster, play.

The Timberwolves don't have many players with three-point ability. Although Love and Jefferson both have three-point ability, this team is not a three-point-based team. As long as man-to-man defense is enough.

The timeout is over, the Timberwolves serve the ball from the sideline. The Rockets players defended with all their strength and didn't give the opponent any easy chance to shoot.

Time was running out, and finally it came to Jefferson. Facing Ibaka's defense, he forced a three-point shot, but unfortunately it missed.

Lowry actively got the frontcourt rebound and passed it to Brewer on the outside, butBrewer couldn't shoot three points, but time didn't allow him to make any moves other than shooting.

He could only close his eyes and throw the ball into the basket, and as expected, he missed all three shots.

'Beep'

"The sound of the end of the game sounded, and the Rockets narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 124-121 at home. 34 consecutive wins, they did it! This is basketball, how can people not love it!" Brent Barry roared excitedly in the Dynasty Center!

The Houston Rockets completed the reversal after falling behind by 22 points at halftime, and the Dynasty Center was boiling.

The red and white ribbons above the stadium fell, and the Houston Rockets broke the league's historical winning streak record that had lasted for 32 years!

At this moment, all the fans shouted excitedly: Houston Rockets!

Tang Yu walked up to McHale and shook hands with him.

McHale said: "Your team is a great team, salute you!"

"Thank you, sir!"

After thanking him, Tang Yu hugged McHale and then joined the players' celebration.

I don't know who suggested that Tang Yu was suddenly surrounded in the middle, and then he was thrown high by the Rockets players. Tang Yu was really afraid that they would throw him to the floor, but fortunately they quickly put him down.

Although Kuden and the other two played poorly in the first half, they teamed up to score 38 points in the second half to help the Rockets complete the reversal.

Scola also scored 17 points in this game. If it weren't for the diamond standing up when the Rockets players collectively failed to fire in the first two quarters, the result would have been really bad.

Yao Ming also contributed 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Lowry, who was traded to the Timberwolves, scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

Jefferson got a terrifying double 20 data, 29 points and 23 rebounds. As the main trading subject of the wolf king Garnett, he is also fulfilling his talent.

League President David Stern also walked into the court after the game and congratulated the Rockets on their 34-game winning streak. The host handed the microphone in his hand to Stern, and Tang Yu and the Rockets players stood behind him.

"Congratulations to the Houston Rockets for breaking the league's long-standing record. I am very glad that Tang Yu took over the team. He brought a new atmosphere to the league. This is the best answer!"

Stern then said some nonsense congratulating the Houston Rockets and left the Dynasty Center.

As the team owner, Tang Yu sent him to the parking lot, and the two chatted on the way.

"Mr. Stern, thank you very much for coming tonight. If you are not in a hurry, I can buy you a drink."

"I have to fly back to New York. You are an excellent boss. You have brought many changes to the league. I want to ask, did you train James Harden and Stephen Curry? They were not so good in college."

"It can't be said that they are trained. They are talented young people. With a little guidance, they can soar to the sky!"

"Haha, what a soaring sky. I hope you can make the entire league soar again! Okay, I'm here. This is my number. If you have anything, you can contact me alone!"

Stern handed Tang Yu a business card. This is the personal number of the league president, which shows that Stern is very optimistic about Tang Yu.

"Thank you, I think this number is more precious than 34 consecutive wins!"
