Background: After leading 0-2 in the playoffs last season, it was reversed by the Jazz. In the new season, the Rockets went all out and were considered by the media as a strong team with the hope of winning the championship before the start of the season! However, after the start of the season, it was unexpectedly defeated again and again, ranking only tenth in the west! Media outcry! The fans ran away! The new coach Alderman was on pins and needles! But after the running-in period, the rockets burst into huge energy without warning. Under the leadership of Yao Mai, they won a wave of 22 consecutive victories, from the tenth in the west to the first in the west, ranking second in history at that time! Unfortunately, Yao Ming was reimbursed for the injury season in the middle of his 22-game winning streak! At the end of the regular season, the Rockets ranked fifth in the West with 55 wins and 27 losses (fourth in record and home court advantage! ), the playoffs will be against Utah Jazz again!

But this year's situation is more severe than the previous year: Yao Ming was reimbursed for his injury! Although McGrady can continue to play, he is also injured! It's just Uncle Mussina and Dwarf Hayes! Nobody cares about rockets! Actually, the result is the same!

On the other hand, Jazz is a better soldier than Ma Zhuang! In addition to the peak of Delong and Boozer's new "Utah Double Evil"! Salt Lake City also has great center Okur who has strong projection ability, and AK47 kirilenko who is famous for his comprehensiveness. There are experts like Koval, millsap and Chaplin on the bench! The progress of the game is also like the strength comparison between the two sides. The rockets lost all the first two games! Injury-ridden McGrady fought alone, although brave and invincible! But people in Salt Lake City double-teamed McGrady, even double-teamed him four times! Rockets, few people can stand up except McGrady!

Before the rockets go to Utah, a wave of rockets will be swept away! However, in the crucial third inning, McGrady made 27 of 26 shots! Streetball king Alston also stood up and contributed 20 points! Scola and Battier scored 28 points together, and Landry even spelled out his front teeth. The rockets fought away and pulled back a city!

But then Salt Lake City won at home! Jazz 3- 1 lead the rocket!

McGrady made the most famous statement of his career: "Everything is my fault!"

In the crucial game 5, no one believed that the injured McGrady could lead the Rockets to turn over such a fierce opponent as Salt Lake City! But the Rockets didn't give up and shouted the slogan "Defend Houston" before the game! United Rockets played the best game in the series, winning the Jazz with 26 points!

In the sixth game of the series, McGrady forced effusion on his knee and sealed it before the game! For Houston! For the rockets, McGrady has despaired! Faced with a flood of boos and jeers away from home, McGrady scored 28 points in the first half alone! Throughout the game, McGrady scored 40 points 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Mcgrady tried his best! But in the face of the jazz who have already played momentum, such efforts can no longer change the score on the field! 9 1- 1 13 McGrady and rockets once again fell at the feet of salt lake city people! Kicked out of the first round by the jazz for two years in a row!

It is worth noting that McGrady, who went into battle with injury, fell down from now on! From then on, there is no peak in the Jianghu, McGrady! Although the relationship between McGrady and rocket management was rigid and contradictory in the following seasons!

But anyway, I think the Rockets should fight for the retired McGrady jerseys that Houston strives for! Because this man deserves respect!
