The Godfather of Basketball

The opening ceremony of Toyota Center was still magnificent.

The cheers at the scene were deafening.

This is not the sparse space city three years ago, but the home of the Dynasty team!

Both sides were introduced one after another.

The Cavaliers are a team of four, with O'Neal playing at the center, Artest and James on the front, Matthews and Louis Williams on the perimeter.

The Rockets have regular lineups: Yao Ming center, Yi Jianlian and Shane Battier on the front, McGrady and Billups on the perimeter.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

Yao Ming jumped out of his old opponent O'Neal and gained the opportunity to lead the offensive for the home team.

Although Tang Tian is no longer coaching, his tactical system is still in the Rockets. After Billups dribbled the ball to the front court, he gave the ball to Yao Ming for help.

After running for a while, McGrady cut a layup and scored.

Unlike the Celtics, the Cavaliers did not dare to shrink inside because the other four players on the field except Yao Ming have strong three-pointers.

In the Cavaliers' offense, James made a right-wing low-post reception and played Yi Jianlian directly. Shane Battier assisted directly and James scored Artest.

Artest did not make a three-pointer and Yao Ming received a defensive rebound.

The Rockets advanced to the frontcourt, or Yao Ming's response at a high post. Seeing his teammates had no chance, he directly turned to play O'Neal. After continuous footsteps shaking, O'Neal's thug foul.

After two free throws, the Rockets have a 4-0 lead.

Although Yi Jianlian dropped the ball dealer, he was not slow, and the Cavaliers' small lineup did not show its due power.

This is also the same as Tang Tian predicted before the game, the Cavaliers opened at a disadvantage.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Cavaliers 10 points by 30-20.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers added five substitutes, while the Rockets were led by McGrady.

Matthews can't stop McGrady's footsteps, and the Cavaliers' bench can't take advantage.

After playing in the first half, the Cavaliers' backward disadvantage has reached 16 points.

60 to 44, the two sides entered the intermission.

"The Cavaliers' small lineup did not have the power to play in the Eastern Conference Finals, and Tang's ultimate weapon would not work." Commentary Kenny Smith began to analyze.

"In fact, I really recognize Tang. It is already a miracle that he can bring this Cavaliers to the Finals. If the two teams are of equal strength, I believe that Tang will lead the final winner. , But unfortunately that kind of thing can only be if the Cavaliers have no chance. "Barkley aside said.

His mouth was still large, but this time no one felt that he was having any problems.

"Good job, we maintain this rhythm and believe we can do it." During the intermission, Tang Tian puffed at his team members.

Back in the second half, the Cavaliers replaced O'Neal and Matthews with Kwame Brown and Danny Green.

The Rockets haven't changed.

The Cavaliers attacked, James' breakthrough was blocked by Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian grabbed a defensive rebound.

After the ball was exchanged, the Rockets attacked the frontcourt, Yao Ming dropped the ball and turned directly to Brown.

Brown's body is thick, playing Perkins, O'Neal, and even Howard, but it's almost like a stake in front of Yao Ming.

"Is the Cavaliers fighting on wheels? But they can't stop Yao and T-ma, this is useless!" Barkley shouted at the commentary.

"Do they have a better way?" Kenny Smith smiled helplessly.

Yao Ming is not Howard, you cut him to send points, and the Rockets' three-pointer outside the line, you are even afraid to shrink.

Tang Tian's own Rockets have almost no weaknesses.

The game continued, the Cavaliers kept rushing to the Rockets' basket, but Yao Ming was sitting there and they had very little effect.

The Cavaliers' small lineup has a lot of loopholes in the defensive end, and the point difference continues to be opened.

By the middle of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were already 22 points behind.

Even Cavaliers fans in front of TV don't think the Cavaliers have much hope.

"Shaq, Wesley, you guys." Tang Tian called O'Neal and Matthews from the bench.

Yao Ming's shot caused Brown's foul, and the game entered dead time.

O'Neal and Matthews replaced Brown and Artest.

Yao Ming made two free throws, the Rockets' lead has reached 24 points.

"Give up, man!" Barkley was a bit weak.

"Never give up!" James rushed forward with the ball, shouting at his players.

Tang Tian's mobilization before the game was most touching.

He positions himself not only to be the first person in the league, but also the first person in history.

The hardest step in front of him is also his greatest opportunity. Even if he is 30 points or even 40 points behind, as long as Tang Tian does not replace him, he will not give up.

With the Cavaliers' frontcourt, Green took out a three-pointer from James.

Shane's efforts to prevent successful interference.

"boom!"

The ball popped out of the basket.

Yao Ming received a defensive rebound and turned to find Billups.

But just then, James flew over to grab the ball.

Yao Ming knelt back and grabbed, the two were entangled.

The referee quickly whistled to signal that it was a fight.

James waved his arm in excitement and was pulled up by his teammates.

The two players competed for the ball, Yao Ming assigned the ball to Billups, or the Rockets' right.

Billups went to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Yao Ming.

The rest of the Cavaliers struggled to defend, giving no chance, McGrady was closely followed by Matthews several times.

Resting off the court for most of the quarter, Matthews was quite physically fit.

Yao Ming saw no chance and turned to play O'Neal.

However, O'Neal just came on the court with a lot of physical strength, and didn't give Yao Ming a good phone conference.

Yao Ming chose the hook on the outside.

"boom!"

The ball was slightly off, O'Neal stuck Yao Ming, James rushed in to receive defensive rebounds.

James turned and ran forward after getting the ball.

Yao Ming breathed a sigh of relief ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ to dig in and chase back.

James dribbled past Shane Battier and Yi Jianlian, played McGrady to the frontcourt three-pointer, and gave Matthews, who followed him, a fast-break layup.

The difference is still 22 points.

The Rockets' frontcourt attack, McGrady used Shane Battier to pick up the sticky Matthews, and then turned and pulled out.

"boom!"

He also missed his shot a bit.

O'Neal took the defensive rebound, turned to James, and James rushed forward.

Just then, Tang Tian on the sideline noticed a detail.

Yao Ming gave up chasing, but went back panting.

Casey and Kassel noticed this too, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Tang Tian's strategy finally started to work!
