Chapter 205 One Car Rollover

Chapter 205

Totoro rarely made a sound, and Dayao and those Rockets players did not intercede with Adelman on behalf of Totoro, because this would really be Totoro's mistake, and this problem is not the first time he made a mistake, he has Several times in the regular season, the team lost because of being arrogant, but he did not expect to repeat the same mistakes in the most critical playoffs.

And it doesn't matter if he can't play in this game. Totoro counts with his fingers. He has committed seven technical fouls so far in the playoffs. He will face a suspension in the next game. The Spurs are a bit stronger, but the absolute strength is limited. No one thinks that the Rockets can beat the Spurs on the premise of giving up a Totoro, and no one thinks that the Rockets can win this round of the series after losing all two home games at the beginning. In this game, Chinchilla was sent off and the Spurs won. In the next game, Chinchilla was suspended and the Spurs made another victory. Isn't it just that the Rockets lost both home games?

"Hey!"

Seeing Totoro sitting alone on the massage chair and bowing his head, Adelman couldn't say anything more. After all, Totoro's status is there. Even if he made a big mistake, Ashuai would not dare to do anything to Totoro. , It’s already the limit to say a few words like this, and it seems that he has indeed learned a lesson. Adelman doesn’t want Totoro to have a long memory for a lifetime, but only hopes that he can maintain this posture for a while until this playoffs end it.

"Guys, we haven't reached the end of the mountain. Although the Spurs are leading now, this is our territory. Our home stadium is the Dragonborn Cave Arena. Do you want to watch those bastards in the holy city easily Take away our home field advantage?"

"In no mood!!"

But life has to go on, and the game has to go on. Although Totoro is not here, a big mistake has been made, but the head coach has to find a way to unite the remaining players to fight for the game. The only way Adelman thought of in a hurry is to Cook a pot of "chicken soup for the soul" for those simple-minded black players, and inspire their fighting spirit to create miracles.

It’s just that the feelings of the black players are not the greatest. When Adelman mentioned the six words of the Dragonborn Cave Arena, the most difficult thing to calm down was Totoro himself. This is a stadium named after himself, but he personally made it His own holy place is dishonored.

At the end of the 15-minute intermission at halftime, the Rockets played a good halftime goal. Battier, Calderon and Iguodala's missed three-pointers in the first half recovered in the second half. Randolph Also suddenly Xiongqi scored consecutively under Duncan's defense, Yao Ming also played steadily, and the Rockets gradually caught up with the score.

But at this critical moment, the chain reaction after Totoro left the field began to appear. Maybe it was Ginobili, who no one continued to stimulate. Assisted old Horry and Finley to hit two three-pointers, and then completed two wonderful pull-up layups of one-on-three. The Spurs opened up the score a lot after Duncan and Parker left the field.

It will be Popovich's turn to strategize. He rest assured Shifo and the French sports car. On the contrary, the Rockets, as the point-chasing side, have to overload the main players of Yao Ming. This situation is exactly the same as the first half, except that The active side and the passive side exchanged positions, isn't this a reincarnation?

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets’ main players faced the Spurs’ substitutes for half a quarter and could barely close the score to 3 points. When the fourth quarter came up, Adelman had no choice but to let the Rockets’ main players, who had fought for the entire quarter, rest. But Popovich, as if he expected the Rockets to do this, put Duncan and Parker on the court at the beginning, and the scene of the game immediately collapsed.

In just 3 minutes, the Spurs double-core extended the score to 15 points. Shifo and the French sports car teamed up to play a wave of 14:2 attacks. A Shuai couldn't take the little giant who didn't get enough rest. Bobo Vicki also switched the demon knife to the court. The Spurs are equal to a superstar, two all-stars, and a rocket with a semi-all-star and a quasi-all-star. The Rockets are still behind at the moment. .

Totoro was banned, and the Rockets lost at home for the first time in the second round. The gap between the Rockets and Spurs without Totoro and the Rockets and Spurs with Totoro was obvious to everyone, especially when Totoro was destined to not be able to play in the second game. A home game is also bad luck.

If the two home games in a series are lost, the Spurs will be followed by two home games. Even if the Chinchillas come back in the third game, given the huge morale gap between the two sides, the Rockets may have the possibility of being swept by the opponent.

After the game, fans in the media criticized Totoro endlessly. Of course, Totoro's loyal fans also defended him on the Internet, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.

, In the past, how could there be voices criticizing Totoro in the market?When he was in the limelight, everyone was respectful to him, and his flattery was almost shot to the sky, but once he made a mistake, the Rockets' form was not optimistic, and these people who were kneeling and licking him changed their mouths in an instant In the face, various experts began to point out the shortcomings of Totoro, as if he was really overrated before, and everyone wanted to step on him.

For this situation, Totoro is not surprised at all. What virtues of these media would he not know?And those fans who sprung up to criticize him, those are black fans who are usually jealous of his achievements, they couldn't find any black spots in themselves before, and now they finally made them proud.

In this regard, Totoro has not been able to keep the door behind closed doors recently, and he rejected all the press conferences that invited him by major media. The outside world generally thinks that Totoro was cowardly, but he himself is not such a character.

He did something wrong, but he will not allow these people to bully him like this, but as a basketball player, everything he wants to say must be based on his strength and performance. He is not saying it now because he is waiting for the opportunity of his comeback , Even if the Rockets are also won by the Spurs for the second time, how about it?Who says a team can't win when they lose both home games? There have been several examples in the NBA before, and he is planning to lead the Rockets to replicate the fifth miracle.

When he really completes the miracle, he will appear in the media to slap those people who are now rampant and arrogant, and the frustration they will give them will be much more powerful than he is now holding on to empty words .

The Rockets lost the game, and the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference also lost the game during the same period.

The Cavaliers faced the Magic in the second round. The outside world believed that this should be a game of equal strength and equal strength. After all, Warcraft at its peak is known as "the only man who can replace James alone", but the two teams really played against each other. It turned out to be a one-sided battle.

Although the Cavaliers have tailored a lineup for their little emperor, but when they really played against a strong team, the Cavaliers fans found that everyone else on the court was useless except James, or the Magic blocked the relationship between James and his teammates. The connection between them, the other Cavaliers players are like idiots, and they can't play at all on the court.

On the other hand, the Magic seems to have a fairly balanced lineup. If the Cavaliers try their best to encircle Howard, the Magic's Turkish agents can stand up and take over the game. Personal power seals both of them. The little Nelson can also jump out and cause tons of damage to the Cavaliers. The Magic has too many players to play this year, and it is not comparable to relying on a James Cavalier. .

"Today we lost at home, but I don't care about the victory of this game. Today our players are not in good condition. Some of the shots that should be made are not made. It's nothing. We can't make every game. They all feel cold, as long as we make all the shots that should be made, then the group of Magic players should surrender today. The winner of this series will definitely be us. We are only temporary now behind."

The little emperor said nonchalantly at the post-match press conference that he was obviously shirking responsibility for his players and himself, calling a loss a non-war, and then showing great support for the next victory. Self-confidence, and made a guarantee in front of the media.

Although it seems that every NBA star said this when he lost, and the little emperor himself thought that he was good at prevarication and had a high emotional intelligence, but in Totoro's eyes, it was really stupid for him to say that.

Why can the Cavaliers beat the Magic?With such a big gap in the lineup, even if he can break out in one or two games against the sky, it is impossible for him to lead the Cavaliers to the final victory every game. At least in the eyes of professionals in the industry, the chances of the Cavaliers winning are not enough 4%.

That being the case, why did James blatantly make a promise in front of the media?This is nothing more than the mentality of these black players muddling along. Anyway, even if they fail to fulfill their promises, there will be no loss for them. They still live leisurely with their annual salary of tens of millions of dollars. In the old days, the anger of the fans was insignificant to them. Anyway, everything will pass after a long time. Let the fans be disappointed again and again and they will not lose a piece of meat. Why do you care so much?

However, I have to say that this is why the number of fans of Totoro fans is more than that of black fans, and the biggest difference is that the number of fans of other stars is similar to that of black fans. If Totoro and James Kobe also have 1 million fans in the world, Totoro His appeal is definitely stronger than the latter two, because Totoro almost never speaks big words that he can't do, and he rarely disappoints fans who like him.

"I think Totoro is still too young. Their success in the first round is entirely due to their weak opponents. We should face off against the Spurs in the Western Conference finals. That guy's talent is unmatched, but he should be the one who wants to win now." When paying tuition."

The next day, before the start of the game between the Lakers and the Hornets, Kobe Bryant, the star of the Lakers, accepted an interview with a local media and made his own evaluation of yesterday's game between the Rockets and the Spurs.

Although the Totoro and the Lakers didn't have any major enmity, after several fights, the scene was a bit heated. There was also a little conflict between him and Peter Pan, so Kobe naturally wouldn't say anything good about them.

But the boss just gave pointers at the press conference before the game. During the game, the Lakers were stunned by his sentence "We should play against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals". Chris Paul continued his superstar performance against the Suns in the first round , This night in the Staples Arena, the whole audience was shining. I alone regarded the entire Lakers defense as nothing. I scored 34 points, 15 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Shaking the old fisher Fisher to the ground for the first time, and several misplaced heads-ups against Kobe in the third quarter also added to his performance.

Under the help of the queen bee, David West scored 21 points and 10 rebounds. Boxing champion Tyson Chandler also frequently worked in the air in the restricted area of ​​the Lakers, scoring a large double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Saul once again became the laughing stock of all the fans who ridiculed him. He felt that his sister-in-law became an All-Star to help her opponent. It seemed that any power forward could score good statistics against him.

However, the fans really misunderstood the Spaniard in this game. Although he couldn't beat Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki as a historical PF, he was not reduced to the point where he couldn't defend against David West. 80.00% of the credit for the opponent's awesomeness in the game should be attributed to Paul. The queen bee had to fill in as soon as she broke through with Fisher's sister-in-law, because his other players, Bynum or Odom, didn't have the awareness of assisting defense. However, as soon as the Spaniard went to fill the queen bee, he immediately passed the ball. 90.00% of David West's points were basically scored from open shots. GG deleted the game.

In another game, the last matchup between the Eastern and Western semifinals, the Eastern Celtics also overturned. In the North Shore Garden Arena with a glorious and long history, the new Eagle King showed no fear or awe at all. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and beat the old master to death. As soon as the Celtics came up, Joe Johnson made two mid-range shots, was dunked by Josh Smith twice, and then was caught by the convulsive Crawford. Two convulsive three-pointers, and they fell behind by 10 points for no apparent reason.

Although the Celtics counterattacked slightly under the leadership of Garnett, the Eagles firmly controlled the situation on the scene. The players in each position of the Eagles also felt overwhelmed. The opponent can still hit a one-handed throw and hit 2+1. Pierce blocked Johnson's hand and the opponent can still hit a three-pointer. The most feared thing on the basketball court is that his hand feels cold, but the more feared thing will kill him. The opponent felt too bad, and all kinds of unreasonable goals were thrown on his head like they didn't want money. The Celtics gave up their home court advantage inexplicably.
