Chapter 654: Curtain Call One

The Rockets sent the ball in the frontcourt, and the basketball was still handed over to Maddie first.

Yao Ming came out and made a pick-and-roll for Maddie, and the pick-and-roll worked very well, blocking Danny Granger well, and Chandler shrank down the defense, actually giving Maddie space to shoot.

Maddie hesitated for a moment and didn't make a move, Yao Ming blocked and dismantled, and the Warriors successfully completed the change of defense, destroying the Rockets' offense this time.

On the flanks, defender Spanoulis had to get on the pitch and get out of Hayes' cover.

At the same time, Sean Battier moved to the bottom corner, Yao Ming went deep into the low post to receive the ball, and Maddie dribbled twice without shaking off Danny Granger, then stopped the dribble and hoisted the ball high in.

Yao Ming happened to catch the ball, Chandler gathered his strength, "bang", and confronted Yao Ming who came over with his back.

"Bang!"

Yao Ming hit the second time, turned around suddenly, leaned back, and raised his arms to shoot.

Tyson Chandler, who gritted his teeth to block, jumped hard, and with his excellent jumping, this time the defense was done to the extreme, as if he could directly block Yao Ming's shot.

Yao Ming gently flicked the ball out, and the basketball passed through Chandler's five-finger defense.

The big hands of the two seemed to be about to come together, and Chandler's defense was very good.

"It won't go in!"

Chandler's eyes widened with anger, he didn't believe that Yao Ming could still throw in with such a defense.

Before he turned his head, he suddenly heard the sound of a basketball hollowing into the net, and at the same time, the fans in the Toyota Center raised their hands and let out a deafening cheer.

"Huh!"

The ball is in! Yao Ming scored a crucial goal again!

Yang Di, who ran to the restricted area, just picked up the basketball that fell from the basket, picked it up and slapped it twice, and gave it to the referee, and the Warriors called a final timeout.

It's embarrassing, after calling this timeout, the Warriors players can only solve the battle on their own on the court.

With just 17.9 seconds on the clock, the Warriors are almost gone.

Sitting on the field, Yang Di shook his head, slightly depressed.

According to reason, the strength of the Rockets is not as good as the Warriors, but for various reasons, the Rockets finally counterattacked them, and the game played to this point, it cannot be said that the Warriors played badly, it can only be said that the Rockets played their best state, and the Warriors' last-minute counterattack fell short.

Montgomery laid out a quick three-pointer and Youngdy played cover.

Coming back from the timeout, Ray Allen came out with an outside three-point shot, with a standard posture and a quick shot, and the defensive Sean Battier firmly covered his palms in front of Ray Allen's eyes.

"Bell!"

missed the shot, Yang Di flew over and grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt.

Yao Ming immediately fouled on the spot and hugged Yang Di, who got up and was about to force a shot, Yang Di didn't stick to the frame, but got two free throws.

"Haha, you lost."

Yao Ming patted Yang Di's chest gently, although the two of them were opponents at this time, their friendship in private was too good, and at this time, it was the Rockets who won the game, Yao Ming scored key goals in a row, and he was in a good mood.

Yang Di smiled wryly.

Then he went to the free throw line and hit both free throws, the Rockets sent a baseline shot, and the Warriors fouled Yao Ming.

The Rockets are also a strange team, the team is actually the center Yao Ming who executes free throws, this season, Yao Ming's free throw shooting rate is as high as 85%, the highest in the league.

On the inside, Nowitzki's free throws were a little higher than Yao Ming's.

Yao Ming hit both free throws, and there was not much time left, and the Warriors missed the shot after advancing to the front court, announcing the loss of the game.

Yang Di walked over and hugged Yao Ming lightly.

"The playoffs are over, don't forget to go home together!" Yao Ming said with a smile.

"Okay, but I won't be able to return until June, so did you wait for me?"

Yao Ming was stunned, and then laughed: "It's clear that I'm the one who will return to China in June, hey, I'm a little busy this summer, the playoffs, the draft conference, you know." ”

The two of them blew a wave at each other, as if they could add a good luck buff or something, and then left the arena separately.

.......

The Rockets counterattacked the Warriors and approached the Spurs in terms of record.

In the next game, the Spurs actually overturned in the gutter and lost to the Kings.

The records of the two teams are equal.

Then, in the game on April 7, the Warriors played the Spurs again.

The two teams had bayonets and did everything they could, and the Spurs didn't want to fall to sixth place to play the Warriors.

In the previous meeting between the two teams this season, the Spurs led the Warriors 2-1.

The two teams played a very anxious game, and it was not until the last minute that the winner was decided.

Ray Allen three-point whistle to beat the Spurs!

Ray Allen is simply a lucky star for the Rockets, when he was with the Rockets, he missed the key shot, but in the game against the Spurs, he was a sword in his throat.

Rockets fans love Ray Allen, because in this game, the Spurs fell to the Rockets, and the Rockets overtook the Spurs and counterattacked to 5th in the West.

At the same time, Bryant led the Lakers to a strong role in the final stage of the season, winning a number of important games in a row.

The Clippers slipped down the rankings accordingly and, in the final moments, fell out of the race for the top eight in the West.

Of the two major teams in Los Angeles, only the Lakers made it to the quarterfinals.

In the East, the Pacers, 76ers and other teams lost their competitiveness early, and the top eight spots have long been fixed, and the only suspense is the six, seven, and eight rankings.

On April 18, the regular season finale.

The league's 28 teams played a total of 14 games, and in total, only the Hawks and Suns did not play today.

The two teams finished the season yesterday.

The Warriors' final game is against the Trail Blazers, the league's newest Young Guard.

Brandon Roy, the talented guard the team drafted last year, had a very good debut season, averaging 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. The most impressive thing is his basketball IQ on the court, Roy shot 45.6 percent from the field and 37.7 percent from three-point range in his rookie season, averaging only 2.0 turnovers per game, he almost never makes mistakes on the court, has a high success rate in singles, uses a breakthrough rhythm superbly, and if he is a little more selfish, he can easily average 20 points per game.

However, Roy has been plagued by injuries recently, so he was not able to attend the final game.

The Warriors easily defeated the Trail Blazers, who were absent from the main team, 122-98, and finished in third place in the West with 58 wins and 24 losses this season.

The Spurs were rested in full rotation, and when they saw that the ranking had been fixed, they easily let the Nuggets take the last game victory.

In the end, the Rockets' 56-26 record was higher than the Spurs' 54-28 record and placed them in fifth place in the West, while the Spurs were sixth in the West.

The best record in the league is the Mavericks, with a frantic 67-15 record, which is the best record in the history of the Mavericks and the sixth best in league history.

Only the Bulls, Lakers, Celtics, and 76ers have had a better record than the Mavericks.

Cuban said that the Mavericks will definitely win the championship this season.
