Healing Basketball Chapter 219

Chapter 219 219. Go hand in hand! (3rd more ask for monthly pass)

Just over a year ago, when American fans mentioned the current Rockets stars, they thought of the moving Great Wall from the ancient country of the East.

Yao Ming, a second-year player, is already the team's highest scorer, rebounder, and blocker.

Mobley and Francis who came out behind were already foils.

Yao Ming, who is only in the second year, is expected to be selected into the best team, and it is almost impossible for Mobley and Francis. The former is 28 years old and the latter is 27 years old. Both of them have reached their peak and are far from the best team. With Hamilton, Bibby, Finley, Billups, Ray Allen, Arenas…

But this also illustrates the predicament Yao Ming is currently facing.

Yao Ming's two strongest teammates are in their prime, and they can't even touch the best lineup. Before he joined, the two of them couldn't make the playoffs together with the elderly Olajuwon.

Some experts have suggested that the Rockets should make more signings. Yao Ming's personal performance is dragged down by his teammates. With Yao Ming's ability, if the core of the ball is stronger or the role is stronger, his score may be higher.

Now he does score more difficult than a center on a playoff-caliber team should face.

The Rockets management also stated that they will do everything they can to recruit teammates for Yao Ming in the offseason...

After the players of the visiting team finished, it was the turn of the players of the home team to play. Amid the cheers of the fans, the warden took the lead, the butcher finished, and they ran out in a row.

Zhang Weiping, the commentator of the court platform, said: "Look, it seems that Jess is leading the charge in the front, and Randolph is behind to supervise the army..."

Sun Zhengping flattered in time: "Yes, they are worthy of the name of the prison team. The warden and the butcher are one after another, and no one dares to run away."

Zhang Weiping's heart is broken: I'm talking about their discipline! discipline! Why did you give me a nickname? Don't you know that Taili's goal is to emphasize the names of 'General' and 'Rose City'?

After entering the arena, Randolph complained to Liu Xiu: "Every time I play against Yao, the pressure is so great!"

"Yeah, I didn't feel so oppressive at first..."

Before Liu Xiu finished speaking, Randolph grabbed the words: "But the more times you fight, the more oppressive you feel!"

"Yes, he is one of the smartest players I have ever seen." Liu Xiu praised Yao Ming.

Randolph also responded: "Yes, every time I play against him, I can feel that he is more prepared and better offense and defense than the last fight."

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "But no one can keep improving, don't worry, we are always stronger, they are the Rockets..."

No one can keep improving? Randolph lowered his head and stared at Liu Xiu for a while... He didn't believe this nonsense, the person in front of him was that kind of person!

The trainers all said that Liu Xiu's back fight should be almost at its limit, but Randolph saw that Liu Xiu's back fight was still improving...

The two teams are making their final preparations before the game. The court TV, Time Warner Cable Sports, Fox Sports, and T.N.T Sports, which broadcast the game live in the United States, are all discussing the game.

Unlike several other TV stations who are honestly covering the game itself, Barkley's side is always special.

"Kenny, you know, Yao might break the record!"

"What record? Tallest?"

"It's a bit of a relationship!"

"Is it still a bit related? Can he continue to grow taller?"

"No no no, it has nothing to do with Chang Gao, don't you know, Yao has surpassed Manute Bol after his appearance in tonight's game, and has become the player with the second highest number of consecutive appearances among players over 220 cm. , played in 152 consecutive games, only Rick Schmitz's 191 times is higher than him, I think Yao has the potential to become the first player in NBA history to play more than 220 consecutive games over 220 cm."

"Uh…"

Kenny-Smith looked at Barkley showing off, he couldn't say that it wasn't great, it sounded a bit great anyway.

But I have to say that this is amazing, where is it?

At 8 p.m., the Blazers' home game against the Rockets started.

As soon as the game started, the Blazers gave the Rockets a dismay.

Although Yao Ming scored 5 points in the first half, the Blazers led the Rockets by 3 points 11-8 after the first half.

This is the first time the Trail Blazers have led the start in four meetings!

In every previous match, Van Gundy took advantage of Yao Ming's most physically active stage to play the Blazers hard.

But little Van Gundy has the same big problem as his brother—no on-the-spot command ability.

The Blazers' defense changed a lot, and they confronted each other when they came on the court. The pitchers gave the most fierce confrontation. The Rockets' three major perimeter players were single-player players. The two feel.

Liu Xiu retreated to defend Francis. Francis pitched and scored. There was no way, but he couldn't make it, so he chose to keep his head down and the Blazers could attack.

Francis can play the ball to Yao Ming at the beginning, and he can play well before the Blazers' attrition strategy takes effect, but Francis doesn't. He has to come by himself from the beginning. The starting thing...and this, in the Blazers' predictions!

By the time Francis thought of Yao Ming, the third center in the league, it was too late. If Yao Ming played single again, the Blazers had already started to shrink and attack frantically.

The strategy of the Rockets against the Blazers has always been to start a wave, play an advantage, then seize the advantage, slow down the speed of the narrowed points difference, and see if it can drag the Blazers to death.

Playing against teams above the playoff level, the Rockets basically follow this strategy.

But tonight, the Trail Blazers didn't even give the Rockets this chance. Although the Rockets could grind, their effect was only to slow down the speed at which the point difference was widened.

Even if the Rockets occasionally hit a wave of climaxes, they would attack on the premise of overdrawing the next defense, and they would immediately be chased back by the more and more clingy defense of the Blazers.

The benefits of a rich team are reflected. No matter how bad the Knicks are, there are a bunch of people who can be used in every position. Not to mention the Trail Blazers, the 12-player roster has been activated. Although several contracts are at a premium, they are still available. It can be used, but it is at a premium, and it is quite easy to use. The salary of the flying squirrel is $12.38 million, the salary of Dale Davis is $9.06 million, the salary of Raheem is $13.5 million, and the salary of Derek Anderson is $7.79 million. Wesley Person's $7 million salary...The Trail Blazers' bench salary is a notch higher than the Rockets' combined salary.

Strengthen the confrontation and don't hesitate to consume physical strength!

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led 21-19, the second quarter 24-21, the third quarter 24-20, and after the third quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Rockets 69-60 by 9 points. Slowly, The difference is drawn!

Yao Ming, Francis, Mobley, Cato, Jim Jackson... This group of people is really tough and never gave up.

Even at the end!

The last quarter really gave Mobley a rush. He made 4 of 9 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 11 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

But in the final quarter, Momonga scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shots and matched Mobley, and Liu Xiu scored 8 points in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The teammates did a good job of confrontation and defense, and the two were attacking One depends on the waves, the other depends on the strong, and harvest the game!

The game reached 11 minutes and 25 seconds, Mobley hit the iron with two points, and Liu Xiu took the defensive rebound.

The current score is 86 to 95, with a difference of 9 points. Although the Rockets have scored their game-high 26 points in the final quarter, the Blazers have also scored 26 points!

There is less than 1 minute left, and there is still a 9-point difference. The Rockets, who have already committed a foul just now, will not foul. It is equivalent to giving up and waiting for the end of the game.

There are 35 seconds left, 9 points difference, what are you playing?

Liu Xiuyun arrived in the frontcourt, consuming 8 seconds left in the attacking time, made a breakthrough, and used McDyess to pick and roll into the inside line!

Liu Xiu went straight to the basket and flew for a layup, Yao Ming stretched out his hand, but still retracted it.

Liu Xiu made a layup and the difference came to 11 points.

Liu Xiu, who scored 11 points in the first three quarters, scored in double figures in the final quarter, and scored just 10 points with this goal, 21 points in a single game!

The Rockets' last attack was transported to the frontcourt without playing, and the remaining ten seconds were spent.

In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's 21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, Randolph's 11 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, Momo's 19 points, Raheem's 14 points... The Blazers defeated the Rockets 97-86 !

The warden really doesn't tell lies!

Really pinch them as soft persimmons!

Yao Ming, who scored 19 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, was in a very irritable mood.

It's okay to play other games, but if you lose, you lose.

But he lost against the Blazers, he was really irritable!

Because the rookie opposite is not only his hope in the national team, but also his opponent in the NBA!

Moreover, he and Liu Xiu are the opponents that domestic fans are most concerned about!

I don't usually have or I don't care too much about it. Every time I fight against Liu Xiu, it will affect his mood.

Tonight, with and without him, the Rockets are really like two teams.

Just like before he joined the Rockets, the Rockets could only get 28 wins. After he joined, the Rockets had the strength to hit the playoffs...

On the other hand, Liu Xiu, who was being interviewed, was much happier.

"Warden, congratulations, you have locked in a monthly average of 20+ points this month, becoming the third rookie after James and Anthony to average 20 points per game in a single month this season..."

Before this game, Liu Xiu had scored 315 points in the first 13 games of this month. As long as he scored at least 5 points tonight, he would have 320 points. Even if the last two games were 0 points, he could average 20 points per game.

And he scored 21 points tonight, which was actually slightly lower than his average this month, bringing his 24.2 points per game down to 24 points per game... It doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he scored 21 points, raising the total score for the month to 336 points. Even if he eats zero eggs in the next two games, he still has an average of 21 points per game!

Competing for the best rookie of the month and scoring average per game in the Nadan month team, go hand in hand!
