10 years! The Rockets big reversal against the Clippers was 10 years ago! Have you seen it?

Every year when it comes to the playoffs, I always see the discussion on the "Series that I remember most" on the forum.

When I see such a question, I will silently ask myself: What kind of series can be remembered for a long time?

After all, if you say that the styles of skills and tactics are very different, and the similar scenes of each other's strengths are tit-for-tat, these happen almost every day in this world's highest-level basketball league, and are even more common in the playoffs.

Even after watching and playing for many years, I know very well that I have never been a close fan and know very little about the tactics on the court. Xia cannot capture the subtle changes in the situation. Many games that seemed to be inspiring at that time were slowly forgotten as time goes by.

Basketball is more like a friend who is not very frequent. When I find him, I always hope that he can become an outlet for emotions so that he can also hear his own story.

Today, my memory of the Fireboat series is still clear, and many details are vivid in my mind.

Perhaps it was because I was ten years ago, when I was in my senior year of high school, like many high school boys, basketball became one of the few pastimes and after-school talks at that time.

I don’t know if Yao Ming’s influence has not completely passed, but the Rockets are still the home team I look at the NBA.

The Rockets' operations in those years were commendable. Unlike the Yao-Mao period, when he was waiting for strong aid, Jeremy Lin, Harden, and Howard even made the Rockets look star-studded.

But even in this "Morden" era, they did not eventually become a team that was competitive enough.

In every seemingly strong season, they always find some strange ways to disappoint those who support them.

In the first year of Howard joining, even though he was behind the Trail Blazers in the series, you clearly saw that when they had already started in that game, they missed the only star who could perform the final victory in the last 0.4 seconds.

In the season after the big reversal, when you think they can finally regroup after going through all the difficulties, you find that they still have no power to fight back in front of the truly powerful Warriors.

I often discuss with others that it is a lucky thing to like teams like the Rockets and players like Harden.

They are always shocking in very close matches.

I can still remember the home game called "Houston Day" in 2017. After so many bold words, I was beaten by the Spurs from the beginning.

However, the Rockets were the same as Harden's career in those years. No matter whether the Rockets' personnel changed or Harden went to multiple teams, they were not troubled by serious injuries, did not let data and performance fall to the bottom at any time, and even brought new hope and imagination to people almost every offseason.

And more importantly, it is their stories that often comfort us, perhaps the actual life of most of us has never been smooth sailing and invincible.

That year (2015), as the college entrance examination approached, I gave myself a clear plan: if the Rockets were eliminated, I would not take my mobile phone to school, review and prepare for the college entrance examination.

In fact, things have always been carried out according to the plan. The gap between the fire ships that year was blind, but the scene seemed to be more at ease and freely. No one would be willing to believe that they became the ultimate losers.

I was having lunch in the cafeteria, watching the last game of the season on my mobile phone, and I did not forget to make a detailed plan for myself to practice questions in the future today.

At a certain node in the third section, I saw the Rockets falling behind by a large score. I put away my phone and returned to the classroom to complete the math test.

Strangely, the question that day was written very smoothly without distraction.

However, a group of old guys wearing headbands stood up. (Terry + Brewer + Ariza + Josh Smith + Terrence Jones, the Rockets hit a 40-15 climax in the last quarter and completed the reversal in one fell swoop.)

"James, we are a group of abandoned guys. You took us here. If you don't feel good today, we will win the game for you."

I have not yet verified whether Terry really has the courage to say this in such a desperate situation.

But in the last twelve minutes without Harden, they made a damn three-pointer, showing amazing defensive intensity (the Rockets made 12 of 19 shots in the fourth quarter, and 7 of 11 of 3-pointers)

Who had yearned for such a righteous story when they were young, and it was also the charm of competitive sports that was completely vivid in front of me at that moment.

The story later became even more well-known. The Rockets fought for the first time until the end of May and early June.

Immediately afterwards, James was about to go downhill at the age of 31, and he had the passionate slogan "There are college entrance examinations every year, and there is only one battle between the cavalry and the brave war."

I was a rebellious child when I was in school. In order to avoid my homework, I accepted all the excitement that happened in the NBA world, which was not related to my studies, and naturally I did not fulfill my promise to review myself.

Now, I want to come to this day, how I wish someone could tell me that the Rockets that brought surprises were not their peak in recent years.

Two years later, Paul joined and joined forces with Harden to force the Dynasty Warriors with four All-Stars into a desperate situation. James did not decline as scheduled, and the Knights fought for a full four years.

What really only once was the college entrance examination that year, which performed extremely poorly, and the time I worked hard for the same goal with everyone.

Ten years have passed, and the Rockets have not reached the finals due to the ups and downs.

The "Hairband Gang" brothers have all retired, and the Magic Group has long since disbanded.

And today I returned to the podium in the classroom again, this is the career I longed for as a child.

After becoming a teacher, I finally realized that no matter how well I hide, I can easily find students watching football in class.

But when I dreamed of midnight, I often hoped to go back to the cloudy lunch break in the senior year of high school. After confirming that my deskmate was asleep, I turned on my phone again, carefully placed it in the middle of the math error correction book, and saw you complete the 19-point reversal in the last quarter and finally won the entire series.

This is the basketball story of my college entrance examination.

You are in the college entrance examination, don’t give up.
