419 Maddie's Back

The starting lineup sent by the Rockets is: 'Big Three, Yao Ming, McGrady, Tester, and Alstone.

The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is: Chamberlain ff Evans Jackson Curry River Zubook.

Billups is not here, Curry has got the opportunity to be tempered. This time, the point guard is missing, but there are two: Ellis is a double-athlete guard, who can both attack and organize, Curry's position is the same as him, but Ellis prefers attack while Curry has stronger organizational skills.

Chamberlain and Yao Ming jumped the ball. The two had a good relationship. They beat each other before the start of the game. At the same time, Chamberlain said: "When did you form a Big Three? Yao, I'm under a lot of pressure now. The reporters are asking me how to let the team imitate you and trade after losing to you."

Yao Ming smiled and said, "We have formed a Big Three lineup, don't you know? TNA Ron and Louis, Louis are the captains of the Argentina national team's men's basketball team, so if you want, you can also choose from other countries to increase your lineup depth."

Chamberlain heard the joke in Yao Ming's tone, so he stopped obsessing with this topic. The referee threw the ball and both sides were ready to jump the ball.

Yao Ming's speed of play was slow, Chamberlain transferred the ball to Curry, and the whistle began. The two sides fought in the preseason, and the Rockets did not use all their strength at the time. The Warriors were the same. This time the defense intensity was different. Curry ran forward, and Alstom stretched out his hand to cut him off, obviously underestimating him as a rookie.

Alstom immediately paid the price for his contempt. He was not panicked in the face of his pressing. After a quick change of direction, he successfully broke through with Alstom's center of gravity. Artest had a good defensive awareness and hurried to make up for defense. Curry shouted: "Switch defense"

Curry didn't get too entangled with Artest, so he quickly passed the ball to Jackson, who shook his hand and made a three-pointer. Alstom rushed to defend in a panic, but he was still too slow, and Jackson had already taken action.

Before the opening touch was warm, the ball bounced straight out. Yao Ming was at the basket, but Chamberlain, who had better mobility, grabbed the frontcourt rebound. He turned around and threw the ball into the ring with a throw.

Yao Ming picked up the ball and shook his head. Chamberlain reacted very quickly. He was not afraid of Chamberlain's positional battle, but was afraid of his rapid transfer operations. There was no way, and his speed could not keep up, especially the NHAR spoon's penalty area was bigger than PIBA. Chamberlain liked to play like this during the Olympics.

The important task of defending Yao Ming lies with Evans. He started to push the latter rhythmically without waiting for Yao Ming to get the position. Yao Ming felt uncomfortable after getting the ball, but he still pretended to make a layup to attract Chamberlain to double-team, and then passed the ball to Scola.

Scola felt as cold as the mid-range shot, and the ball was off the basket. Chamberlain stole the ball and gave it to Curry. After Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he wanted to cover each other with Jackson. As a result, Artest stole his ball and launched a counterattack, crushing it in like a small tank, successfully making a layup for the Rockets to record the first time.

Chamberlain frowned and muttered, "It's really a fucking giant,"

Artest's focus was to catch the other party off guard, and no one expected that this reckless guy would fight back one-stop.

Curry carefully passed the ball to Chamberlain, who turned his back to Yao Ming and sat back hard. Yao Ming was ready to get out of the way. Chamberlain left three-pointers, so when Yao Ming took off, he turned around and took the opportunity to lay it down. Yao Ming reached out to interfere but failed, and Chamberlain hit the board.

Then the Rockets were still handed over to Scola to attack. This time the Argentine striker played a sports game. He slipped the ball and slipped the bottom line and made a backhand layup. Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound and jumped to dunk. Chamberlain, who had been determined to chase Scola, turned around and jumped to Yao Ming with an attack, and pressed down the ball given by Yao Ming.

In the EpN live broadcast room, Barkley nodded decently and said, "This kid is very cunning. He deliberately put this rebound to Yao. Yao grabbed the rebound too easily and thought he had enough time to take action, and then turned around and stared at him and gave him a hit."

Smith had similar opinions and said, "Yes, this rebound is not good. If he fights, he may still be taken by Yao Ming. In that case, he can't even defend, so he simply handed the basketball over Yao and used hot pot instead of rebounding. Of course, he only dared to do this in the league."

Barkley muttered, "If I were to do this, I would do it very smart."

Smith immediately scoffed and said, "By you? With less than one block per game in your career? Man, you have to understand that I have more blocks than you."

Both sides started the game very smoothly. After that, McGrady wanted the ball to break through, and Azubuk was crushed. He scored a high score of 7 in less than 2 minutes, and almost no goal was lost.

Old Nelson was dissatisfied with the Warriors' defense and called a timeout. After returning, Chamberlain was feinted and attracted a double-team pass to Evans. Evans scored a dunk with a little space under the basket. But Artest crushed Azubuk again, and he used his strength and weight advantage to play, and then turned around and fell back to hit.

After that, Chamberlain scored a self-shot and scored a point. Both sides began to strengthen their defense, sacrificed part of their attack power and focused on defense. This resulted in a magical attack vacuum in the second half of the first quarter. With more than a minute left in the first quarter, Chamberlain scored 4 points in a row with free throws. McGrady received Yao Ming's assist and made a three-pointer from the top of the arc. The offense and defense of the two teams became much more balanced again. After the end of the first quarter, the Rockets were slightly behind the Warriors with 22Rj.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the main players of both teams left the court to rest. Chamberlain sat on the bench, Yao and Mai came out together. The Warriors were West leading the troops to attack, and the Rockets were Artest taking the lead. McGrady was in a bad state today. When he warmed up before the game, he felt a slight pain in the back of the midfield, so the iconic Yuba jump shot and terrible breakthroughs were much less.

The substitutes played the game and caused chaos in the early stages of the game, especially West liked to break through, and the substitute point guard Vaughan Weaver used by Adelman was the same. He ignored the latter and rushed to the basket without caring about the game. Ibaka gave him a merciless attack. Then it was West's turn. West's ability was obviously much stronger than Weaver. After the breakthrough, he suddenly slowed down in the last step. Scola and Mutombo's blocks were both lost, and then he took the action and sent the ball into the ring.

But the chaos caused both sides to make mistakes, and substitute point guard Brooks was also busy breaking through. Finally, he was caught in double teams and was intercepted by West. West asked someone to cover him, but he bumped into Scola during the breakthrough. The latter screamed and fell to the ground. The referee gave him an offensive foul.

Both sides had not had high shooting percentages at the opening game. Both teams played small lineups. For a while, the breakthroughs on the court continued to change, but the scores did not change much. Both sides attacked each other's baskets. Cooperation and shooting were rare during this period. Breakthroughs frequently appeared, and a tug-of-war quickly started.

Halfway through this quarter, the main force returned, Artest sulked with a bitter face. Chamberlain knew the reason and smiled: "Hi, giants, it seems that your teammates don't take you seriously? They don't actually pass the ball to you?"

This is why Artest was angry. Weaver and Brooks two bastard guards kept paying attention to their own attacks. They didn't care about his advantage and didn't pass the ball to him. Otherwise, the Rockets could now overtake the score.

Brooks dared not pass the ball to Artest but did not dare to give it to McGrady. The latter was in a bad state today. After wandering for a while, he did not make a breaking false move. He got up and jumped out. The ball popped up. Chamberlain took the rebound and West launched a fast break counterattack. The latter rushed into the basket and turned around and threw the ball. He got two points in a weird and elegant posture.

McGrady was not enthusiastic about attacking, let alone defense. West was worried about being beaten by McGrady at first, but later when he saw that this guy was in a low mood today, he was not polite. He turned around and received a pass from Morrow and made a three-pointer on the left wing. The Rockets had problems during this period, and the inside position frequently lost control. The two teams quickly opened up. Yao Ming was beaten by Chamberlain for 2I. McGrady broke through and was intercepted by West. He made a quick attack. Then the Rockets missed a long shot again. Chamberlain grabbed the rebound and moved forward quickly. Yao Ming had just landed, and Chamberlain made a jump shot at a high position. After halftime, the Warriors led by 64 points.

McGrady's downturn finally attracted Adelman's attention. The former was not polite. The midfielder directly asked the team doctor to check his back in the locker room. This scene made Adelman lose his soul. Isn't it? This man's back injury has relapsed?

McGrady's back injury has always made the Rockets frightened. He missed three games in the 2006 season. During that period, the Rockets' record was that Yao Ming lost 2 B and won. Last season, he missed 15 games, and the Rockets won 2 games. There is no doubt that Yao Ming may have strong dominance, but the Rockets' real helm is still McGrady. He is not with the Rockets, but he is a team of grass chickens.

The Rockets doctor who accompanied the team rushed over. While checking McGrady's back and looking at the expression on his face, he was puzzled. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Man, there is no problem, your back is very healthy."

McGrady's face turned gloomy and frowned, "No, I will feel pain as soon as I stretch my back now. You'd better check it out better. I don't want to get hurt again."

The team doctor could only check it again, and then he still maintained his original opinion and persuaded: "Tresey, your body is healthy, and your discomfort may be a psychological reason. Of course, it may also be a muscle problem, but it requires professional instruments to detect it. I can't tell from the outside."

After receiving the team doctor's reply, Adelman was so angry that he wanted to curse. Fuck you are such a panacea. If you can say anything like this, what else do the team want you? Aren't you helping McGrady find a reason to quit?

Sure enough, McGrady then refused to continue playing and asked to go back to Houston to have a comprehensive examination to ensure the health of his back.

Adelman is the new coach, and he can only say that he is so frustrated that he is holding his breath in his heart and re-arranges the lineup. In fact, McGrady doesn't want to fight, but his fragile back has become his nightmare. He has been an old-fashioned injury. As early as the 20304 season, he injured his back while still in the Magic. He missed 15 games that season due to back spasms and left knee injuries. In the following seasons, the injury has been entangled with him. Only he knows how painful it is when he is plagued by a back injury.

News of McGrady's quit due to injury in the second half quickly reached the rostrum. The large screen above the Oracle Arena introduced McGrady's physical condition, introducing the events he has missed due to injuries in the past few seasons:

In the 0304 season, away against the Nets, two games were missing due to back spasms in warm-up before the game; on April 2, 2004, home against the Pacers, missed nine games left due to a light torn latissimus dorsi. In the 0406 season, on April 2, 2005, home against the Supersonics, home against the last regular season game due to tight back.

0506 season, 10/05, when he collided with Yao Ming while making a layup in the team training, he suffered a back injury and missed the following two games. 10/05, after just back tight, he missed the game against the Hornets, Magic, and Heat; 18/05, when he was at home against the Pistons, the third quarter, he suffered a back injury. Next, 10/06, when he missed the Pacers, the Mavericks, the Suns, the Grizzlies, and the Bulls...

If you want to count it in detail, it is really countless. McGrady missed games in the past few seasons because of her back injury.
