Chapter 717: Winning One

Maddie was certainly happy that the Rockets won, and he also won the MVP of the game, turning the tide on the edge of the cliff, proving that he is still the player the Rockets rely on the most.

At 1-2, the Rockets are still trailing in the series, but there is at least a little hope of a series comeback.

The two sides will rest for a day and play the G4 battle the day after tomorrow.

In the rating of the system, Team Rocket's combat power is not low at all.

Yao Ming and Maddie are both S-rated stars, Sean Battier is an A-level star, and Ralph Alston and Chuck Hayes are both A-rated players.

Yang Di has played so many playoff teams, and this lineup is already very good.

The only problem with the Rockets is that the combat power on the bench is a little worse, but the players on the bench are very experienced, and the style of play is still based on a steady positional offense, basically not being pulled away from too many points, and the Rockets are often able to drag it out until the last minute in this year's playoffs.

The Rockets, the Jazz and the Mavericks have all played seven decisive battles, and winning or losing is actually a line between winning and losing.

After the loss to the Rockets, the Warriors' coaching staff and players held an important emergency meeting after the game to discuss how to beat the Rockets in the G4 game.

In fact, in Yang Di's opinion, there is nothing to discuss, the Warriors just can't shoot accurately today, Maddie feels good today, and the Warriors lose a lot of open balls, which is the main reason.

The rocket can unscrupulously entrap Yang Di and prevent Yang Di from easily entering the interior line to make damage.

The Warriors returned to the hotel, and the coaching staff spent the night analyzing and studying tactics.

.......

The next day, in the hotel's restaurant.

The warm summer morning sun creeps into the restaurant over time, which is located on the top floor and has glass windows overlooking the Houston neighborhood.

Yang Di sat by the window, opened the window slightly, blew the breeze, ate breakfast, and read the newspaper.

Houston Herald

The Herald detailed last night's game, praising the Houston Rockets as a whole, and Tracy McGrady in particular, with a full range of gaudy praises.

"Before that, there were rumors on the rumor board that the Rockets might have the idea of trading Maddy, but after this playoffs, I'm afraid Maddy's position in the Rockets will become extremely stable, and like Yao Ming, it should be a non-sale for the Rockets." Yang Di speaks English very slippery, but in fact, his English reading ability is still very average, he likes to read the newspaper, look at it, and gradually the news of basketball can be easily read.

Yang Di reached forward, grabbed a piece of cheesecake, and stuffed it into his mouth.

When Maddy is healthy, he is still a top-five scorer in the league, and last night, against the Warriors' rising youngster Danny Granger, Maddy made multiple pull-up jumpers and hit jumpers against the defense to help the Rockets stay in the driver's seat. The biggest difference between Maddy and Ray Allen is the ability to hold the ball, while the Rockets rely on Yao Ming's low-post offense, they also need Maddy's ball-holding organization on the outside to break through the ball, which is his best means of revitalizing the entire team. ”

"Rumors - Garnett's whereabouts are doubtful, going to Denver to form the strongest triumvirate in history?"

The rumor that Garnett was going to leave has been active on the rumor board since the end of the season, and now everyone knows that the Minnesota superstar has finally begun to truly pursue and find the honor he hopes for in the midst of the team's repeated failures.

This is also a kind of re-proving oneself, if there is never a breakthrough in the team's results, no matter how many personal honors you get, there will always be doubts.

"Iverson, Anthony + Garnett?" Yang Di thought about it and thought it was unlikely, if the Timberwolves traded like this, what would happen if they met the Nuggets in the future? They are both in the Northwest Division and have to play each other four times in a season.

"It must be fake news."

Yang Di flipped over the past, and the news in the newspaper was also true and false, but some news could still be distinguished if some judgments were made carefully.

Yang Di turned to the social and people's livelihood news section and looked at some other news.

After watching the news for a while, there were more people in the restaurant, and players such as Byron Davis, Ray Allen, and Louis Williams all came to the restaurant for breakfast.

"Morning, Yang~"

"Morning, Byron."

"Good morning, Dick Young."

"Good morning, Ray."

The cafeteria is a buffet format, and the players carry their own plates, take their favorite bread, milk, hot dogs, eggs and other breakfasts, sit with Yang Di, look out the window together, and enjoy the early morning Houston.

"What a beautiful and hard-working city."

Ray Allen sighed that he almost ended up in Houston last year when he was caught in trade rumors.

"Sky City, the number one city in Texas." Louis Williams took a sip of milk and said.

"The fourth-largest city in the United States." Yang Di added, these are all familiar common sense, he often heard Yao Ming's nagging in his ears, and he already knew and remembered this.

"Team Rocket's name is really fitting for the city." Byron said with a smile.

"Isn't it all the time when people shout that rockets are in the air? It's a way to describe the Rockets' rising prowess, and after beating us in yesterday's game, I think someone might have used that analogy again. Ray Allen took the newspaper in front of Yang Di, pulled out one, and read it casually.

Suddenly, he exclaimed, and a look of pain appeared on his face, "Ouch, the stock market has fallen again?" ”

"Did you invest in stocks? Thunder? Yang Di asked curiously.

"Hey, I've been an old shareholder for many years, but I didn't expect that the stock market has not been very good recently, and I have lost a lot of money." Ray Allen shook his head, a depressed look.

"How much did you vote?" Byron Davis asked, he was injured and fine, and he also thought about investing in stocks before, but the agent told him that it was okay to get hundreds of thousands of dollars to play, but not to make it big, not professional, and he might lose all his money.

"I bought it with my friend, and I have always made money before, but I didn't expect it to be very good during this time, I invested $5 million here, in fact, I still make money."

"Wow, Shenhao!" Louis Williams showed a look of envy, he still has the NBA's base salary now, and there is no additional income such as advertising, 5 million is a number he can't even imagine, compared with superstars such as Ray Allen, the gap between the rich and the poor is really a bit big.

Yang Di shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, I also put 500,000 yuan in the stock market, but I don't understand at all, I have recently dispersed the amount in the account into several shares and handed them over to my younger brothers and sisters to operate, they are all high-achieving students, I think they should be smarter than me." ”

"It's okay, your brother is really competent, aren't you afraid that they will take your money to be happy?" Louis wondered why I don't have such a big brother.

Yang Di laughed and said with great determination: "They won't do this, because they don't want to disappoint my big brother more than to consume, I believe in their willpower and control." ”
