Chapter Eighty The Last Glory

After the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets successfully defeated the Trail Blazers 4-2. Dayao also entered the second round for the first time in his career. Lin Yi, who was sitting on the sidelines, could feel that Dayao The kind of excitement in my heart.

After the game, Dayao kept boasting to the media about Artest, Brooks, Scola and other Rockets teammates.

This is Dayao, low-key and humble. He never shows off, but in fact only Lin Yi knows that if the Rockets pay more attention to Dayao, they may even have a chance to win the championship this year.

In the last game against the Trail Blazers, Dayao scored 8 of 16 and was very efficient.

But do you know who the Rockets team shot the most? It's Artest, and Adelman would rather let Artest play 21 singles than arrange some Yao Ming's low post tactics.

Fortunately, this was Artest's best offense in the playoffs, but Adelman used Artest as McGrady, and Lin Yi was really convinced.

You must know that in this year's Western Conference playoffs, as long as the Rockets pass the Lakers, no one will be able to match Dayao against the Nuggets next. If the Magic plays in the finals, Yao Ming will play against Howard.

Artest's biggest improvement to the Rockets is hardness and toughness, not offense. But the stubborn Adelman just wanted to play Princeton, but he didn't add some low-post singles to Yao Ming, what can you do?

May 5, Los Angeles Staples.

The Lakers, who are aiming to win the championship, probably never thought before the game that the Rockets will cause them huge troubles in this round of the series.

In fact, if you look at the lineups of both sides, you will understand that the Lakers do not have the strong point guard that the Rockets fear most, because the Rockets fear most is the pick-and-roll. Super point guard.

The insider Bynum of the Lakers is Yao Ming's favorite type, while the Rockets have Artest and Battier who can limit Kobe.

Gasol's defense is not top-notch, and Scola's offensive efficiency is completely capable of defeating Gasol.

In Lin Yi's memory, in the first match between the two sides, Kobe shot 31 times crazily, and the sound of Staples' iron strike continued throughout the entire game, and the Lakers failed to turn it over.

If Adelman is more flexible and creates more opportunities for Yao Ming, the Rockets will definitely be able to pass the Lakers by virtue of their lineup restraint.

In the first game of this round of the series, even though Yao Ming had a huge advantage, he only managed 17 shots. What happened? Dayao scored a high score of 28 points.

In fact, Lin Yi knows very well that regardless of whether Yao is injured or not, as long as Adelman leads the team, Morey is the manager, and Alexander is the boss, the Rockets will never win the championship.

Because there is no reason to use your own eggs to smash other people's rocks?

The most classic scene of this game came at 4 minutes and 54 seconds before the end.

During the defense, Yao was injured by Kobe, but Yao, who was helped into the tunnel by the team doctor, insisted on returning to the game.

What Lin Yi was most worried about happened.

What should come, will always come.

The 226 cm tall giant always likes to grit his teeth and persevere.

Whether you hate him or fan him, you can't change the fact that he makes the NBA truly influential in China, whether you like Michael Jordan or Allen Iverson, whether you fan Kobe Bryant or McGrady, you can't To deny it, without Yao Ming, most Chinese fans would not have such a deep and detailed understanding of the NBA.

He never complains because he knows that his country needs him.

Without the efforts of the Basketball Association and the Shanghai team, no one knows whether Dayao can go further in the NBA. Van Gundy made him gain weight, and he became a real low-post killer in the NBA. McGrady and his team Teaming up makes Chinese fans look forward to it day after day.

However, at the time of Dayao's brilliance,

He met Adelman who refused to give him more low-post tactics.

He still didn't complain, even though his efficiency was amazing, he always told the media silently that his teammates played very well.

On the court, when Dayao returned to Staples, when the Lakers fans stood up and applauded the Chinese giant from the bottom of their hearts, and from the moment he chose to carry the Rockets on his shoulders, Lin Yi knew that This will be Dayao's last glory.

This will be the last wail of the center era.

Lin Yi won't watch the next Rockets game.

He didn't want to make himself sad again.

People say that Dayao was able to play in the NBA because of his height.

People who say this may not know that the NBA has never had a big man with a height of 226 cm and such a soft touch.

People say Dayao lacks charisma.

Those who say this may not know that the head coach of the Italian team once said that he would rather exchange the whole team for Yao Ming.

Dayao made Chinese basketball completely unmatched in Asia. He made the Chinese team able to play even against strong European teams.

When the Houston Rockets needed him the most, he did not back down, he paid silently, whether it was rebounds or supplementary defense, he led the Houston Rockets to finally pass the first round of the curse, but his comrade McGrady could only watch from the sidelines .

He never complained about his teammates, and he never complained about the Rockets owner Alexander's refusal to pay the luxury tax for the final reinforcement of the team.

This is an impossible task, this is an impossible team to win.

Goodbye, Dayao!

thank you!

Because you made all the basketball fans in China have a dream. It was not until N years later that people realized that playing in the NBA is such a difficult thing for people of yellow race.

In the fourth quarter of the game between the Lakers and the Rockets, with 3 minutes and 18 seconds left, Dayao hit the high mid-range shot at the top of the arc in the middle.

His determined eyes made the Staples fans couldn't help shouting for him.

When the legend comes to an end, all that remains is the last glory.

the caravan passed by;

A pack of dogs is barking.

look at those dogs;

The caravan moved on.

We have witnessed the growth and experience of many NBA stars, and we think we understand them. In fact, every star is a legendary story. Once we look back at those disappeared past events, we will understand their difficulties, understand their choices, and understand their greatness. , and recognize ourselves.

Yao Ming, he has always stood there like a giant, and the stories related to him are often intertwined with low-key humility and pathos. But he has always yearned for the highest glory. This tragic giant is still bright and dancing in our memory like a flame. Although he has long since retired...

...

After watching the Rockets defeat the Los Angeles Lakers, Lin Yi became more determined that he wanted to learn from someone's grand ambition of interfering with the management and coaching staff. Can a star who cannot interfere with the management or overshadow the coach be called a super giant?

Dayao was finally injured in the third game between the Lakers and the Rockets. The injuries accumulated over the years broke out completely. Dayao bid farewell to the playoffs. At this time, Chinese fans are still looking forward to Dayao's comeback next season , they didn't know that Dayao, who came back again, had already...

Hey, if I talk too much, I will cry!

In May, Lin Yi returned to Davidson and accompanied Stephen Curry in the special training before entering the NBA. The shooting speed of the elementary school students has been greatly improved.

In June, the Los Angeles Lakers finally advanced to the finals and defeated the Magic. Kobe was as excited as a child. He couldn't wait to tell the world that he could win the championship without O'Neal.

But Kobe didn't clearly realize that although he didn't have O'Neal, he had Gasol this time.

The results of the NBA draft lottery were finally released amidst the much-anticipated results. Griffin, Lin Yi, Curry and other high-ranking rookies announced together that they would withdraw from the rookie training camp.

In this regard, although he wants to change the result of the high-ranking rookies refusing to participate in the training camp, NBA President Stern can do nothing.

Because these high-ranking rookies don't want to waste their time, and there are only a few teams that can pick them. Why waste time and energy playing against a bunch of second-round picks?

And history has indeed changed as Lin Yi expected!
