Chapter 901 900. Two Loving and Righteous Brothers
After Yao Ming came up, the Rockets' defensive strength suddenly rose.
Tracy McGrady's breakthrough shot was very effective, and the Rockets had a clear strategy, which was to let the Eagles' role players shoot. However, Korver didn't feel good today.
第二节靠着刘莽的7分2助攻，贾森-特里的13分3助攻，以及靠着刘莽和贾森-特里传球合力拿到17分的伊戈达拉、穆罕穆德、约什-史密斯、莫宁，半场结束，老鹰队55比45领先火箭队10分。
In the last 3 minutes, Kwame Brown finally relied on Tracy McGrady to break through to the basket and was double-teamed by Yao Ming to score 4 points. It was not easy!
In the third quarter, the Rockets’ Van Gundy Jr. used Yao Ming very sparingly, so Yao Ming told Yao Ming to rest when he was tired in the previous game. Yao Ming dislocated his toe. The team doctor suggested that he should rest for two weeks. Van Gundy Jr. let Yao Ming rest for two weeks.
Yao Ming wanted to play at the beginning of the third quarter after the intermission, but Van Gundy Jr. did not agree. It was not just Yao Ming’s physical problems. Richard Jefferson had to rest after playing the first half. The Rockets’ strongest defense was the presence of David Wesley, Richard Jefferson, and Yao Ming on the court, which could make up for the lack of defensive strength of shooting guards and power forwards.
To replace Yao Ming now, even David Wesley alone is not enough. Going up is just a waste of Yao Ming's physical strength.
It is true that Van Gundy Jr. is not good at reacting on the spot, but the planning of the game is his strong point.
小范甘迪只能把苏拉、又一个曾靠着合同年在32岁打出场均8分8板在03年夏天骗到火箭队3年1400万全额中产的防守空切型老将威瑟斯庞、两米零六的底薪前锋斯科特-帕吉特、莫里斯-泰勒、穆托姆博的阵容换上去。
Liu Mang played in the third quarter, bringing Iguodala, Prince, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown on the field.
Coach Kruger felt that it was better to stagger the playing time of Kwame Brown and Yao Ming, and let Mourning guard Yao Ming. Kwame Brown was abused too badly.
It's hard to fight, but I can't prevent it!
Jason Terry finished swinging, this time it was Liu Mang's turn to swing.
The Rockets were very wary of Liu Mang, the league's number one player in [-]-pointers per game, who played singles outside the three-point line. Witherspoon mainly blocked Liu Mang's three-pointers. With Witherspoon's tight fit, Liu Mang chose to break through and attack the basket. Facing the old Mutombo, he used his footsteps to score consecutively.
The Rockets' offense was at its worst in the third quarter.
When the Rockets play against other teams, they often have an advantage in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the rotation lineup comes up to give away the head, and the point difference is tied or even overtaken. In the third quarter, when Sura leads the team, basically only Sura is left to play singles. Wesley, the three of them, he looked down upon by others, and they played singles when they came up, digging holes for the Rockets.
In the third quarter, Liu Mang went to the basket, made an emergency stop jumper from mid-range, and made breakthroughs and points. In six and a half minutes, he scored 12 points and 3 assists, helping the Eagles to a 19-10 half-quarter score. Kwame Brown played very excitedly.
With five and a half minutes left in the third quarter, the Eagles had a 74-55 lead by 19 points!
Seeing that the point difference was about to widen to 20 points, after the official timeout came back, Van Gundy Jr. could only replace the main players in advance.
Liu Mang and Jason Terry, when it comes to rotation time, they are too cruel!
For the Eagles, Coach Kruger's judgment was also correct. After the official suspension came back, he switched back to the outside duo of Liu Mang and McGrady.
If the role players can continue to make contributions, they are not role players, but stars. In the last 5 minutes of the third quarter, the Hawks only scored 6 points. Liu Mang made a mid-range shot. McGrady rushed to the basket and caused Juwan Howard to foul twice in a row. He only scored 4 points after making [-] free throws. The Rockets' main lineup defense returned to the performance of the first quarter during the halftime break and rested for most of the third quarter. The defense is still very targeted.
The Rockets are really strong when they start with enough physical strength. Otherwise, with such a poor substitute, it is impossible to still rank fifth in the West. The Eagles can only rely on defense and the scoring of Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady to maintain the score.
三节打完，刘莽拿到27分7助攻4篮板，麦迪拿到11分6助攻3篮板，老鹰队以80比65领先15分。
……
Leading by 15 points in the three quarters, Liu Mang felt that the point difference was relatively stable. Starting the Rockets was mainly to consume Yao Ming's energy, so the game was considered stable.
The Eagles coaching staff also thought so, so they replaced Calderon, Jason Terry, Korver, Mohammed, and Mourning in the lineup, using the twin towers to consume Yao Ming, and the outside trio scored under the leadership of Jason Terry.
The intermission ended, and the Rockets, as expected, switched to the full starting lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Little Van Gundy can't help it. If you don't fight at this time, you will have no chance.
Seeing that Liu Mang and Mai Di didn't go up, Yao Ming's anger can be imagined.
Too contempt for people!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Eagles took the lead. Jason Terry made a strong three-pointer. Under the defense of Richard Jefferson, he missed a fadeaway jumper. Yao Ming struggled to grab a defensive rebound between Muhammad and Mourning.
Offensive and defensive transition The Rockets attack first, and Yao Ming starts to get the ball from the low post to show off!
Yao Ming sat in the low post and played Mourning in singles. The ruthless Yao Ming is definitely the most powerful inside killer in the league except O'Neal. Not to mention Mourning, even Ben Wallace, who was at his peak last season, was scored by Yao Ming once.
Yao Ming slammed Mourning into the basket ruthlessly, and smashed the ball into the basket through Mourning.
Mourning has tried everything to fight Yao Ming, but he just can't handle it!
The Eagles attacked, and Jason Terry was blocked by Richard Jefferson and had no three-point chance. He suddenly made a mid-range jumper and scored two points.
When the Rockets attacked for the second time, Mourning began to go around Yao Ming. Yao Ming followed Mourning and took a step to the middle distance of the bottom line. David Wesley passed the ball to Yao Ming in time.
Yao Ming is showing off his power!
Mourning was honestly stuck in the position, Yao Ming played in the low post, and Mohamed came up to attack and had no choice.
When Mourning circles forward to defend, Yao Ming catches and shoots from the middle distance of the bottom line. Mourning must press the center of gravity back when he circles the front. When Yao Ming cuts to the baseline, Mourning cannot keep up immediately!
Yao Ming played a wave of fierce attacks, scoring 12 points in the half quarter, and the Rockets scored these 12 points in the half quarter...
For the Eagles, during this period of time, relying on their better outside shooting ability, they held the score.
Jason Terry made an emergency stop jump shot and passed the ball to Calderon and Korver. Jason Terry scored 5 points on 2 of 4 shots. Korver played for so long and finally made a three-pointer in the fourth quarter. Calderon also made a steady three-pointer. The Eagles also scored 10 points when Yao Ming stormed!
In the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, when the official timeout was about to enter, the Hawks still led the Rockets by 90 points 77-13.
Just when the Eagles thought they were stable and waited for the dead ball to enter the official timeout, the situation suddenly changed!
The Rockets used Yao Ming to attract Muhammad and Mourning to double-team, Juwan Howard gave Richard Jefferson an outside pick-and-roll without the ball, Yao Ming split it to Richard Jefferson, and Richard Jefferson made a three-pointer.
On the next Rockets attack, the Rockets followed suit, Yao Ming sent a three-point pass to Richard Jefferson, and Richard Jefferson scored again!
When the Rockets attacked for the third time, Richard Jefferson received the ball. Korver panicked and slapped Richard Jefferson on the floor for a three-point foul!
Richard - Jefferson walked to the free throw line and made three free throws. The Rockets scored 1 points in a row in 9 minute!
The Eagles only relied on Jason Terry to make a three-pointer and was beaten 9 to 3!
Richard Jefferson scored 9 points in a row with Yao Ming's restraint, and the two combined to score 21 points in the half quarter. At the same time, relying on defense, the Rockets limited the Hawks to only 13 points in the half quarter!
7分钟时间，火箭队打出一波21比13，将15分分差缩小到了7分！
86 to 93, the Rockets narrowed the point difference to within 10 points!
The game entered an official timeout as the Richard Jefferson free throw ended.
……
Everything came too suddenly!
The situation changes!
Seeing the solid advantage of 13 points, coach Kruger had waited for the official timeout to replace the main force, and it would be over if the point difference was kept well, waiting for the end of the game.
And the rotation lineup played very well in the first half of the quarter, holding back the strong performance of Yao Ming scoring 12 points in a row on the Rockets side.
But who knew that the Rockets scored 1 points in one minute!
Liu Mang and McGrady hurriedly took off their training clothes and threw two hot hands. They had rested for most of the quarter. They thought it would be enough to go up and grind their defense in the last few minutes, but the opponent narrowed the point difference to 7 points!
Seeing that the Rockets have already gained momentum, this kind of morale may allow them to bear the limit of their physical fitness, which is troublesome for the Eagles!
Liu Mang was still happy watching Yao Ming show his power and being resisted by Jason Terry. He thought to himself: I am dumbfounded, you are so good inside, it is useless, and it is useless to shoot 6 of 6 without teammates!
I didn't expect to be the one who was dumbfounded in the end!
Richard Jefferson only dunked once today, and the offensive end of the whole game was very low-key, but he scored 1 points, only two points less than Yao Ming's 28 points.
After the middle two quarters, Liu Mang didn't expect to be able to play a critical moment at all. He was prepared for a "low score" of only 20 points in this game. Who knows, he still has to play a critical moment!
……
……
The Eagles replaced the starting lineup, Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, Mourning.
Although Mourning was shot 6 of 6 by Yao Ming, Mourning was able to force Yao Ming to go to the mid-range. Although Yao Ming was also accurate in mid-range shots, his mid-range shots were always lower than the basket.
Mourning can prevent Yao Ming from catching the ball and dunking directly.
The Rockets replaced Mike James with the strongest lineup of David Wesley, Richard Jefferson, Juwan Howard and Yao Ming.
The official timeout came back and the Eagles went first.
After Liu Mang advances to the frontcourt and passes the ball to McGrady, the two continue to pick and roll and then cut in from both wings. They are again blocked by the Rockets' quick switch defense against the two. McGrady passes the ball to Prince who is free from the outside line, and Prince shoots a three-pointer...
Iron!
When it came to the Rockets' offense, the Eagles mainly blocked Richard Jefferson and Yao Ming, but the Rockets' offense didn't make a name for themselves.
The two teams fell into a blackout period. For 2 consecutive minutes, the two teams did not score a point.
The Rockets called a timeout!
After Liu Mang went up, he didn't get a chance to make a shot, and he didn't even make a shot in 2 minutes. The opponent defended too well.
Can only grind the defense!
Back from the timeout, the Rockets attack.
Liu Mang stuck closely to David Wesley in the top arc, and he would rush if he wanted to break through. Anyway, this guy's layup ability is average, only in the 80s. The Eagles' strategy is to block the opponent's outside shots. The most accurate mid-range Rockets are two inside.
David Wesley was pressed by Liu Mang and quickly pulled horizontally to the right. Liu Mang quickly rushed to the left and was blocked!
Yao Ming!
Liu Mang wanted to bypass Yao Ming, but Yao Ming grabbed his arm firmly!
The referee didn't blow his whistle!
David Wesley bypassed Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, and before Mourning made a save, he used Yao Ming's pick-and-roll to hit a three-pointer!
89 to 93, only 4 points left!
"Despicable BIG-YAO!" Liu Mang glared at Yao Ming after Yao Ming let go of his arm.
"Shameless Ace Liu!" Yao Ming responded bluntly.
"You held my hand! Despicable villain!" Liu Mang never thought that he would use this sentence to scold others one day.
"What are you doing to me!" Yao Ming, a native of Shanghai, spoke Northeast dialect.
At this time, the Eagles were forced to call a timeout, and the two just stared at each other like that, Guozihao's first insider and first outsider stared wide-eyed, saying something that the referee next to them couldn't understand, but they still came to separate the two.
That is to say, he is Chinese, and people from other countries who speak Mandarin cannot understand it, so Yao Ming dared to go back so shamelessly.
Liu Mang returned to the bench angrily.
When did this guy become so despicable!It is true that if you learn well for 30 years, you may not learn well, but if you learn badly, you will fail within three years!
The fans in front of the domestic TV set were in an uproar, and they never expected that the two would have a conflict!
Director Zhang hurriedly explained after the screen switched back to them, saying that this was a manifestation of the fierce confrontation in the NBA, and it was a normal expression of excitement after both Liu Mang and Yao Ming played brilliantly...
Director Zhang's explanation was for the fans, but he admired the conflict between Yao Ming and Liu Mang from the bottom of his heart, mainly for Yao Ming!
Yao Ming played so well in the fourth quarter, and he also bickered with the opponent, with that kind of strong attitude!Compared with the previous two years, Yao Ming, who has become more self-willed and self-centered, is more appreciated by the older generation of players.
Although Director Zhang has never played in the NBA, he has never been intimidated by world-class players in the World Championships, and he is also the only scoring leader in the Basketball World Championships in Asia!
Now people's overall academic qualifications and overall education level have improved, but their blood is becoming less and less, and they always think that "peace is the most important thing".
But what is exercise?Isn't it just relying on competition to demonstrate the country's soft power?This is war, the war of modern basketball!
Director Zhang quarreled with both Liu Mang and Yao Ming. Not only did he not feel bad, but he thought it was right. He couldn't play so nicely on the field just because he was a teammate of the national team!
Liu Mang didn't go to complain to the referee either, it's useless to complain.
Although Liu Mang is also one of the best players in his position, Yao Ming is the number one center in the Western Conference and one of the two best centers in the league, although there is a gap in strength between Yao Ming and O'Neal.
In addition, this is the home court of the Rockets. Although the Rockets do not have a home atmosphere at home, the referee will still sell the Rockets at home.
It can be seen from today's whistleblowing scale that the Rockets got the same whistle at home as the Spurs, and they didn't blow the big moves of flanking and blocking, as long as it wasn't an obvious foul.
Liu Mang encountered such fierce confrontation in this game, but he has only made 6 free throws so far, so he knows this very well.
4 points difference!
Liu Mang never expected this to happen.
Liu Mang was not nervous at the end of the first quarter when he was tied by the Rockets, because he had a huge advantage in the back.
And just as Liu Mang expected, from the beginning of the second quarter, they began to occupy an absolute advantage. They led by 10 points at halftime and 15 points in the third quarter. Moreover, in the fourth quarter, coach Kruger used the rotation lineup to consume the physical strength of the opponent's starting lineup.
But the opponent scored three three-pointers in a row and three free throws once. In more than three minutes, they played a wave of 12 to 3, narrowing the point difference to 4 points!
Originally, Liu Mang felt that the double-kill Yao Ming was stable, and he had already started thinking about his next opponent, thinking about the game against the angry Shark when he came back from the All-Star Weekend.
It seems that this kind of thinking should not exist!
Liu Mang turned to look at McGrady, very sure of this idea.
Thinking about something else, Liu Mang's mood calmed down due to his cold-blooded personality.
After being chased continuously, the 13-point difference suddenly became 4 points. The Eagles players only created a 37-second tragedy not long ago, and now there is a feeling of "retribution".
Seeing the trustworthy McGrady was stunned, Liu Mang said loudly to his teammates: "Hey, why panic, you still have me, the strongest scorer in history!"
The category is third, and it’s almost second. Have lunch and continue. The next chapter will be before [-] o’clock. Ask for a monthly pass!
