phone-reading

Jackson is a compliment, but in fact, Billups deserves it.

Paul was trying to drive his teammates, but the Rockets gave little space, Peterson was not in the state, and after more than half a quarter of games, the Rockets, like in the previous few games, expanded the points difference to double digits.

The game was going on, and Paul had to go back to the old road alone.

On the other side of the Rockets, Billups filled the scoring gap brought by McGrady's absence. Not only did he play well, but he also motivated his teammates.

In a desperate situation, Paul burst into great energy, and West continued to continue his fiery feel. Driven by the dual-core, the Hornets and the Rockets have been deadlocked to the final stage.

With 30 seconds left in the game, the Hornets were only two points behind the Rockets 101-103.

Billups stood outside the three-point line to control the time.

All the spectators at the scene have stood up. If the Rockets can score this goal, they can basically earn the game.

With about 10 seconds left in the attack time, Billups waved to the inside.

Yao Ming came out from the paint to make a pick-and-roll at this time, and it seemed that Billups was going to make one at the last moment.

This is also the most correct choice. Chandler's defense against Yao Ming has a role, but it is difficult to defend against Billups. Let's not talk about what moves, but also have to prevent Billups from passing back.

Yao Ming mentioned the three-point line, a solid pick-and-roll.

Billups used a pick-and-roll, but he didn't jump in. Instead, Chandler suddenly pulled up a three-pointer from the outside before Chandler changed his defense.

This came down suddenly.

"Oh!"

Without waiting for others to respond, a clear voice of entering the net has instantly lit the Toyota Center.

Cold blooded three points!

"Mr.big! Mr.big!"

As Scott called for a pause, cheers rang out from the scene.

Billups lifted his right hand to end the game.

Although both West and Paul are strong, tonight is destined to be Mr.big's night.

Returning from the timeout, Paul directly called Chandler to pick and roll with the ball.

At this time, it was less than 10 seconds from the end of the game, and the team was 5 points behind. Three points was the only option.

Chandler blocked it, and Paul had a 3-pointer for the ball.

"Snapped!"

At that moment, Paul made a loud noise and looked at the basket, but his hands were empty.

The cheers at the scene were deafening.

Billups, successfully judged Paul's choice at the most critical moment, and broke the ball!

Billups sprinted forward after stealing the ball.

The Hornets all rushed up to foul. In the end, Pago stepped forward and made a foul before the end.

However, at this time, there were less than 5 seconds left before the game.

Shot to Paul.

Paul gritted his braces, looked at the score above his head, and looked helpless.

Billups hits the free throw line.

"MVP! MVP!"

Toyota Center gave him MVP cheers for the first time this season.

But he was MVP, and he really deserves this shout.

In the cheers, Billups made two free throws and scored 5 points in the final moment to help the Rockets expand their lead to 7 points.

This basically also sentenced the Hornets to death.

Peja made a three-pointer at the last minute, but to no avail.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Hornets 108-104 at home and won the fifth game of the series. They also eliminated the Hornets 4-1 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year!

Paul contributed 36 points and 9 assists. West had 28 points and 11 rebounds. The two successfully applied to join the "empty team".

The Rockets' best performance is undoubtedly Billups. He made 6 of 8 3-pointers and contributed 30 points and 12 assists. The data did not lose to Paul, and it even supported the team's offense. , Worthy of the name of the Rockets third giant.

When the final whistle sounded, the audience gave endless cheers to Billups.

Billups also raised his hands in response to the fans after hugging with Paul.

Billups went off, and McGrady in a suit laughed like a five- or six-year-old child, hugging him and kept talking.

After the match, Tang Tian and Billups, Yao Ming and Morey gave a news conference.

"A wonderful game, Changxi performed very well tonight. Coach, what do you think?" As soon as the press conference began, the reporter asked Tang Tian.

"The fans have already evaluated it, MVP." Tang Tian said with a smile.

This answer immediately led to a laugh from the reporters below. This is the first time they have seen the coach comment on his team members.

Billups on the side also gave thumbs up to Tang Tian.

"Do you have anything to say to your opponent Hornets? They almost won the game." The reporter then asked.

"They are a very good opponent and have a bright future. If they stay healthy, they will be a very competitive team in the Western Conference next season." Tang Tian nodded, and maybe only he knew that the Hornets will be next season because Injuries can plummet.

"Do you have anything to say about CP3? I noticed that at the end of the game, UU read the book www.uukanshu.com. His expression was quite frustrated." The reporter continued to ask.

"He is an incredible player. You know that we tried our best to limit him, but still couldn't stop him from scoring. I hope that he will one day lead the team to meet us in the Western Conference Finals." Tang Tian continued.

This is his real expectation. As he travels longer and longer, his influence on history will become greater and greater, and the future is no longer known to him.

After the press conference, Tang Tian went to the locker room to take a glance at the celebrated team members, and then returned to the coach's office.

Entered the Western Conference again, but this year's opponent is no longer the Spurs, but the Lakers.

The day before this game, the Spurs and Lakers series was over. Facing Gasol to join the Lakers, the old Spurs were eventually eliminated 1-4.

Fans with a better mentality can comfort themselves with odd years of winning, but most of them know that it is really difficult for this Spurs to rise.

Lakers.

Tang Tian watched the Lakers playoff game video.

The only good news for the Rockets is that after Bynum played out for 30 or more seasons due to injury, the playoffs did not return.

The Lakers have less Bynum, and Yao Ming will have a big advantage in the paint.

Just thinking, the office door was knocked.

"Coach, it's me." Yao Ming's voice came from outside.

This really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived and Tang Tian shouted for Yao Ming to come in.

He paused the video first, but looked up and found that not only Yao Ming came in, but also a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, which should be a Chinese in his 50s.

"This is it?" Tang Tian looked puzzled. Why did Yao Ming bring an unexpected guest.
