Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 551 The curtain fell, and the victory ended!

Howard was very speechless.

At the end of the third quarter, he also negotiated with James and Wade, and in the fourth quarter he put all his eggs in one basket.

Who ever thought that the Rockets were very aggressive defensively when they came up, and they often interrupted the Heat's offense roughly with fouls.

At first, Howard didn't think about foul tactics.

After all, the Rockets hold a lead of more than 20 points, so there is no need to use this tactic.

But with the rapid accumulation of their fouls, Howard had a vague premonition in his heart.

But he still kept a little bit of luck-could the Rockets' repeated fouls be purely to interfere with our offensive rhythm, but just don't want us to play fast breaks?

But with Birdman Anderson on the field, Howard knew... no surprises, the Rockets are going to use foul tactics!

Sure enough, Birdman used a foul as soon as he came up, sending Warcraft to the free throw line.

Howard smiled helplessly.

Getting to the free-throw line was double torture for him.

The first is the worry about his serve percentage.

It is now the fourth quarter, and the Heat continue to chase points.If the free throw is missed at this time, the damage to the team is great.

The second is the boos from the fans.

The Rockets' home court is no longer the "deserted" look of the past.

At this time, the Toyota Center is like a sea of ​​red. Once the Heat players are sent to the free throw line, they will be booed overwhelmingly.

Even a player with excellent psychological quality will feel fluctuated when he hears tens of thousands of people booing him.

Howard took a deep breath, took the basketball from the referee, took three dribbles and held it up...

"duang!"

In the first free throw, the ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

The scene suddenly changed from boos to cheers.

Howard shook his head.

After he took the basketball from the referee again, the scene was booed again.

Second penalty...

Still not going in!

Anderson smiled and accepted the rebound.

The offense and defense switched, and the ball was handed over to Roy.

Huang Mamba did not rush to attack, but deliberately slowed down the rhythm.

Roy didn't rush to attack until there were 8 seconds left in the attack time.

Wade, who defended him, has played this game for a long time, and his physical fitness is no longer at his best.

And Roy only played about 20 minutes in this game, and he has sufficient physical fitness.

Therefore, when the Yellow Mamba broke through with all his strength, Wade did not give enough defensive pressure.

Roy scored another two points for the Rockets with a beautiful pull-up jumper.

After the goal, the Rockets' lead reached 30 points.

Wade shook his head helplessly, and was about to move towards the Rockets' half court...

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded again, and Anderson once again sent Howard to the free throw line.

This time, Warcraft withstood the pressure and made two free throws.

After 20 seconds, the Rockets failed to attack.

James was about to launch a counterattack, but was interrupted by the referee's whistle again.

"boom!"

James smashed the ball to the ground hard, venting his dissatisfaction.

The move also drew boos from the fans.

Subsequently, Howard stood on the free throw line again.

At the same time, the Heat coach Spoelstra on the sidelines is already considering substitutions.

Moreover, he not only wants to replace Howard, but also wants to withdraw all the main players...

There are still 7 minutes before the end of the game, and the point difference is 28 points.

To make up for this gap, the Heat must play a stormy offense.

But as long as Howard stays on the court, there will be no such offense.

But if he is replaced, the team's defensive ability will decline, and it seems impossible to complete such a comeback.

"never mind..."

Spoon sighed, waved his hand, and asked the four substitutes to wait on the technical table.

Soon, with Howard's first free throw, the Heat's four main players were replaced at one time.

This also means that they surrendered and completely gave up the game.

On the Rockets' side, Mark Jackson immediately followed after seeing the Heat changing the bench and replaced all the main players.

At this point, the game has officially entered garbage time.

For the next few minutes, the Rockets chatted and laughed on the bench.

Even the two players who were most frustrated in this game - Yao Ming and George - showed relaxed smiles at the moment.

"Brother Yi, you can teach me two tricks later on. I'm having a hard time defending against LeBron now."

George took the initiative to ask Yi Jianlian for advice.

"Ah? I... I have nothing to teach you. I think your defensive skills are much better than mine."

As soon as Yi Jianlian came off the court, he immediately turned back into a social terror, almost showing humility on his face.

"Don't praise me, I defended too badly today. It's you who put LeBron on the defensive, it's a fact!"

George was eager to ask for advice and continued.

"I actually don't know what happened... It's just that when I get on the court, sometimes I can't help but make some moves. I also thought, after the game is over, I will apologize to LeBron."

"Those collisions were indeed initiated by me...Those actions are a bit beyond the scope of basketball."

Yi Jianlian said seriously.

George was about to speak, but Ben Wallace on the side spoke first.

"Yi, your idea is wrong. If you foul on the court, even if it is a technical foul or a malicious foul, the referee will make the penalty."

"Now that the referee hasn't punished you, it means that your action did not violate the rules, so what do you have to apologize for?"

Big Ben said nonchalantly.

Yi Jianlian shook his head: "What you said seems to make sense, but I think I should apologize to him."

Ben Wallace smiled helplessly when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything more to persuade him.

The game was over soon.

In the last few minutes, the Rockets' substitutes continued to make great strides and widened the point difference by a few points.

When the red light on the timer came on and the game officially came to an end, the score was fixed at 135:100.

The Rockets sit at home and beat the visiting Heat with a huge advantage of 35 points, winning the first victory of the series.

After the game, the Heat walked towards the player channel for the first time.

And Yi Jianlian ran over and stopped James: "Hey, LeBron, can we chat for a while?"

James stopped in his tracks, and when he turned around and saw that it was Yi Jianlian, he couldn't help frowning.

"That... the previous collisions were my problem, I..."

In the middle of Yi Jianlian's speech, James interrupted him by raising his hand.

"Let's see you on the field, and I will return next time."

After leaving such a sentence, James turned and left without looking at Yi Jianlian again.

Ben Wallace walked up to Ah Lian at some point, and said lightly, "I told you a long time ago, there is no need to apologize to him. Just do it if you do it, at worst, we will touch it later."

Yi Jianlian nodded, and walked back to the locker room with Daben.

............

In the vip box on the stands, Ajiali was smiling like a flower, looking happier than Shen Fei.

"Miss, let's have dinner together?"

Shen Fei said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go~"

Ajali readily agreed.

Then the two drove to a well-known local private restaurant in Houston.

The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatted for a long time through a candlelight dinner.

Not only talked about basketball, but also about life.

After drinking and eating, Shen Fei drove Ajiali back to the hotel.

"Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?"

Sitting in the car, Shen Fei looked at Ajiali in the co-pilot and asked jokingly.

Ajiali is also an adult, so she naturally knows what these words imply.

"Not yet... But I promised you before, if the Rockets win the championship, I can promise you one thing."

"You...you can make a request then."

After Ajiali spoke, the blush on her face had spread to her neck.

"em...Okay, but, do you want to...reward me first."

Saying that, Shen Fei suddenly stretched out his hand to pick up Ajiali's chin, and kissed it.

Ajiali's eyes widened, and she put her hands on Shen Fei's chest, but she never pushed him away.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Shen Fei looked at Ajiali, whose eyes were still closed, with a smile on his face.

Only then did Ajiali open her eyes, and punched Shen Fei in the chest with a pink fist, then opened the car door and ran away in a hurry.

Shen Fei looked at the beauty's back, the corners of his mouth were always slightly raised.

There is a saying that the flowers blooming can be folded straight.

The day of breaking branches is not far away!

............

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

When Shen Fei and A Jiali were in the two-person world, the discussions about the finals on the major social platforms were in full swing!
