Chapter 395 Sudden! Three people leave, the demon sword is not a human being!
The Spurs made substitutions, and the Rockets were not idle either.
Mark Jackson made a big move and replaced Tucker and Danny Green on the court.
The five people present at this time are: McGrady, George, Danny Green, Tucker, and Big Ben.
The Rockets' tried-and-tested "Ultimate Basketball" lineup is here again!
"Both sides invariably lowered the overall height. During the next period of time, Ben Wallace and Duncan will have a direct conversation at the fifth position."
"Whether Duncan can take advantage of one-on-one with Ben will largely determine whether the Spurs can narrow the point difference in the transition period!"
Su Qun commented timely.
The game continues.
George Hill holds the ball and organizes the offense at the top of the key.
Duncan came to the low post again to ask for the ball.
Da Ben had a clear mind and decisively detoured in front of the stone Buddha to prevent the latter from catching the ball.
Hill was afraid of Ben Wallace's interception ability and did not dare to pass the ball rashly.
He did the next best thing and passed the ball to Ginobili.
After receiving the ball, Pampas Yaodao broke through with a cross step, catching George off guard.
Upon seeing this, Tucker immediately shrank the inside line to protect the basket.
Ginobili did not hesitate, flicked his wrist, and passed the ball to Jefferson in the bottom corner.
The latter drew his bow and arrow and took action decisively...
"Shua~"
The basketball hits the net!
28:18.
This three-pointer can be said to stop the bleeding!
In the transition between offense and defense, Tracy McGrady acted as the point forward.
Defending him was George Hill.
Although Hill is not as big as McGrady, his athletic ability and defensive awareness are considered excellent among the Spurs' back line.
I saw him striding forward, looking straight at the basketball in McGrady's hand, and his concentration was very concentrated.
When t-mac saw this state, he knew that the opponent was a good defender.
Facing such an opponent, naturally you can't use fancy moves.
Ever since, McGrady held the ball in his left hand, suddenly kicked off the ground with both feet at the same time, and instantly ejected...
Hill only felt a breeze blowing by.
Looking back again, McGrady was already behind him, leaving only his handsome back.
t-mac rushed to the penalty area and saw Duncan standing in front of him.
He smiled slightly, took a small step, then jumped on his feet, and the next moment he was flying into the air.
When Duncan saw this, he raised his arms and jumped vertically.
The ace players of the two teams are facing off directly at this moment!
The fans at the scene all held their breath, waiting for the result to happen...
"bang!"
After starting to speed up, McGrady became even more ferocious!
He actually hit the ball hard into the basket through Duncan.
The poor stone Buddha was hit hard, staggered, and fell backwards.
In the end, he sat down outside the baseline, looking very embarrassed.
McGrady landed handsomely and glanced at Duncan who fell to the ground.
Ginobili on the side immediately rushed to T-Mac and pushed him away.
McGrady spread his hands slightly to show his innocence.
At the same time, the Rockets' bench was already filled with joy.
Curry and Lowry looked like they had seen a ghost, covering their mouths and hugging each other.
The Rockets fans at the scene cheered for McGrady in unison:
"mvp!!!"
"mvp!!!"
"mvp!!!"
...
One after another, there are waves of noise, coupled with the uniform red jersey.
The entire Toyota Center Arena turned into a boiling red sea at this moment, and the scene was particularly spectacular.
Zhang Weiping couldn't help but sigh when he saw this:
"Dear viewers, as a commentator, I have broadcast dozens of games at the Rockets' home court after Dayao entered the NBA."
"But I have to say that today's scene is something I have never seen before!"
"I have never seen Rockets fans so enthusiastic before, even in the tiebreaker of the playoffs."
"Not only were the seats full today, but every fan was very engaged! This is exactly the home atmosphere a championship team needs!"
Su Qun was also very emotional.
Toyota Center's attendance rate has always been among the lowest in the league.
In such a large arena, a large number of seats can often be vacant.
Every time the camera unintentionally sweeps over, you can see a "shocking" picture.
As hosts, the two are naturally deeply impressed by the deserted past.
But now, the attendance rate of this arena has reached record highs, and now it is even harder to get a ticket for every game!
Su Qun even felt that the capacity of the old arena at Toyota Center was a bit insufficient!
............
Shen Fei in the box had the same idea.
As the owner of the Rockets, he is increasingly dissatisfied with the Toyota Center Arena.
Putting aside the lack of seats, the name "Toyota Center" makes Shenfei particularly awkward.
In the past, he didn't have enough financial resources, and his thoughts were basically focused on improving the team's record, and he never had time to take care of things in the arena.
Now Shen Fei is very good at managing the team and has enough time and energy to think about more things.
In terms of financial resources, the rewards he received through system tasks and the income from his two major companies (Rockets and Under Armor) can be considered a rich man!
[It’s time to build a new arena...]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
He knows that building an arena does not happen overnight.
In the original time and space, it took the Golden State Warriors three years and $1.3 billion to build the Chase Center Arena!
1.3 billion, Shenfei can afford it.
But three years was too long, and he didn't have the patience to wait.
"It is best to complete the construction within one to two years, before the start of the London Olympics, and no later than the offseason of that year..."
Shen Fei murmured to himself.
The requirement at this point in time is actually related to the name of the new arena.
Shen Fei has decided on the name of the arena - China Times Arena!
If it can be completed before the start of the Olympic Games, it can be regarded as an encouragement and expectation for the men's basketball team to strive for gold medals.
If it is built after the Olympics, it will be equipped with the men's basketball team to win the gold medal and stand on top of the world...
The name Huaxia Era is fitting for the occasion!
Therefore, these two time points are definitely the best choices.
With this thought in mind, Shen Fei immediately decided to take action after the game and start planning the construction of a new arena!
Just as his thoughts were racing, the situation on the field changed again.
After McGrady dunked on Duncan, the Rockets' morale reached a peak.
After that, they hit a wave of 8:0 shock waves in one go, widening the point difference to 20 points in one fell swoop!
In less than one quarter of the game, there was a 20-point gap!
Since the 21st century, the Spurs have been the top team in the league. How have they ever been humiliated like this?
Even if a few games start poorly, the Spurs can quickly adjust their state and quickly narrow the point difference.
Like today, there is a tendency to collapse as soon as it starts...
It has not appeared since the gdp combination matured!
The mentality of the Spurs players was also affected by this.
The first to bear the brunt is Ginobili.
Yaodao looks gentle and graceful, but he has never been a good player on the court.
After the Rockets hit the shock wave, an unknown fire began to burn in his heart.
During a defense, Ginobili "accidentally" put his foot where McGrady landed...
"Ah...shit!"
With a low roar, Maddie fell to the ground in pain.
A referee stood next to the "crime scene" and witnessed what happened at close range.
He immediately blew the whistle and stopped the game.
Ginobili only turned around in a hurry after the whistle blew.
After seeing McGrady lying on the ground, he walked forward with a surprised look on his face: "What happened, Tracy, are you okay?"
"fxxku."
McGrady didn't bother to argue with him and just responded with insults.
t-mac has been in the league for many years and is basically the core of the team's offense.
For this reason, he has experienced all kinds of defenses, and he has also seen a lot of underhanded tactics.
Therefore, McGrady can tell at a glance whether a defensive player intentionally makes an injurious move!
Moreover, t-mac has never had a good impression of the Spurs.
Whether it's Ginobili or the infamous Bowen, they are all people who will do whatever it takes to win the game.
Tracy McGrady and his cousin Carter have both suffered from the Spurs.
When Ginobili heard that the other party was so rude, he wanted to "explain" again.
But just as he was about to get close to McGrady, Ben Wallace came over to kill him.
Daben raised his right hand and made a blocking gesture with his forearm.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched Ginobili, the latter fell out in an exaggerated manner.
"Beep!!!"
The referee's whistle suddenly became louder.
Obviously, they are worried that Daben's intervention will escalate the conflict.
Ben Wallace looked at Ginobili who fell to the ground speechlessly and said in a cold tone:
"Get up quickly and start acting again. I'll make you fall down in no time."
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, Ginobili covered his arm and quickly stood up with a look of pain on his face.
Daben smiled silently.
Then he turned around, wanting to care about McGrady's injury, but saw three referees running towards him anxiously.
Daben had no choice but to raise his hands to show that he was in a calm mood and did not want to cause trouble.
The referees breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you ok?"
Ben didn't help Maddie up in a hurry, but squatted down and asked.
T-mac shook his head: "I'm going down to rest."
"Rest assured, we will win the game."
Daben said firmly.
Maddie nodded.
After a simple treatment, he returned to the locker room with the support of Yao Ming and Birdman.
Mark Jackson replaced McGrady with Roy.
............
The referee studied the video carefully.
But it has to be said that Ginobili's actions are very subtle.
Even in slow motion, it is difficult for the referee to determine whether he stepped on the ball intentionally.
However, since McGrady shot from outside the three-point line, the Rockets still got three free throw opportunities.
Roy stepped to the free throw line instead of McGrady and made three solid free throws.
At this point, the score has reached 40:27, and the Rockets have led by 23 points!
After the transition between offense and defense, Ginobili was very eager to help the team score points and stop the bleeding.
He just made a fake shot and wasted Roy who had just come on the court, and then accelerated towards the inside.
But from a distance, Ginobili saw Ben Wallace guarding the inside.
Daben's eyes were on fire and he looked at him murderously.
Yaodao suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and still took three steps and rushed towards the Rockets' basket.
"Bang..."
There was a muffled sound.
Ginobili was slapped to the ground.
The Spurs generals immediately rushed over, two running towards the boss and two running towards the Demon Sword.
Ben Wallace raised his hands again and said helplessly:
"I don't want to do this either, but...it's my duty."
"Please don't do anything that has nothing to do with basketball in the future."
His voice was loud and his mouth shape was deliberately exaggerated.
Big Ben's purpose is very simple, which is to let other teams understand through television broadcasts - don't touch the Rockets players, otherwise he will take action!
Ginobili fell badly and lost the ability to compete.
Soon, he also left the field with the support of his teammates.
The referee went to the technical table again to watch the replay, and finally gave Ben a second-level flagrant foul.
This means that Ben Wallace will be directly expelled from the game!
After the results were announced, boos immediately erupted from the venue.
“referee.sucks!”
“referee.sucks!”
“referee.sucks!”
.......
When Parker stepped to the free throw line in place of Ginobili, Rockets fans were already cursing the referees.
The three referees were also very helpless.
They're not trying to favor the Spurs.
It's just that Ben's actions were too direct, he was heading towards Ginobili!
According to the alliance rules, such behavior will undoubtedly be directly expelled.
Therefore, in just two rounds, a total of three people from the two teams withdrew from the game!
"The Rockets suffered a big loss...the team's ace Tracy McGrady and the core defensive core Ben Wallace were both forced to leave the game."
"The Spurs only lost one person, Ginobili. He usually plays the sixth man. Popovich can completely use George Hill to top him. All the Spurs' tactics can be executed as usual, but the creativity has declined.
Already."
"Comparing the two, the Rockets have suffered heavy losses!"
Zhang Weiping shook his head and said.
"Yes, originally the Rockets had an absolute advantage."
"It's good now. After losing two generals, there is a question mark as to whether they can maintain their existing advantages..."
Su Qun added helplessly.
His eyes returned to the field.
At this time, there is only one minute left before the end of the first quarter.
Parker walked to the free throw line and made the first free throw despite the boos from the sky.
Signal from the technical desk - substitutions from both sides.
The Spurs replaced Duncan.
The 35-year-old veteran has played at high intensity for 11 minutes, and his physical fitness is close to the limit.
Replacing him was a desperate move by Popovich.
The Rockets' substitutions were much bolder.
Mark Jackson waved his hand and brought on several substitutes.
The Rockets' lineup becomes: Curry, Roy, Danny Green, Tucker, Yi Jianlian.
"Hey, the Rockets are going to use shooting to deal with the Spurs!"
"The five people on the court now are all good three-pointers!"
Zhang Weiping adjusted his mood and commented with a smile.
"The Rockets' style of play is really rich. Just now it was a 'modern basketball' with five players over 2 meters tall, and now it has become a strange lineup of five shooters."
"Watching one Rockets game, I feel it is worth the content of three games by other teams."
Su Qun sighed.
At the same time, inside the box, Shen Fei folded his hands on his chest and looked serious.
The development of the game was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Although injuries are part of the game, in Shen Fei's view, Ginobili's action just now crossed the line!
How can a shooting guard be as clumsy as Pachulia?
Therefore, when he saw Da Ben intentionally fouling, Shen Fei decided to pay a fine for the malicious foul.
Now, he only hopes that the Rockets players present can focus 120% and give the Spurs a fierce blow!
............
His eyes returned to the playing field.
The on-site director also felt the subtlety of the atmosphere and wanted to take a closer look at the players' expressions at this moment.
The camera zooms in...
When Curry returned to the court, his face was no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning.
He half-spit his braces and his eyes were bright.
After Parker made his second free throw, Curry walked to the baseline and received a pass from his teammate.
After dribbling the ball across half court, he suddenly stopped at the logo...
