Yao Ming's foot injury is still not completely healed, but he played for more than ten minutes without any problems. He also wants to play with Stephen for a while to see what it feels like. He does not lack experience in working with top players, McGregor Although Di's physical fitness has declined, his consciousness is still at the top level. He just wants to try to see how well he can cooperate with Stephen.

The best partner for an inside player is an outside player with enough threat, just like the combination of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, no matter which one of the two players is, there is enough threat. In Los Angeles, many people thought that Kobe Bryant was not as good as Iverson and McGrady, but after O'Neal left, although the team did not make the playoffs, he used a series of scoring performances to prove that he is not inferior for both of them.

It's just that the two of them led a team alone earlier than themselves. Although the three of them did not enter the league in the same year, McGrady was only a year late, but among the three, Ivor was the first. Sen became famous because of his height, his personality, his rebelliousness, and his wind and motor, he conquered the league and fans with his personal charm and skills.

With only Mutombo around him, he led the team to the finals and pushed Iverson's reputation to the highest point. Although he ended in defeat, he deeply imprinted the image of a lone hero In the minds of fans, until now, he is still one of the most marketable players.

Then it was time for McGrady to move to the league. He proved his ability as a top scorer with two consecutive scoring champions in the Orlando Magic. He completed the feat of 62 points in a single game and 35 points in [-] seconds. The team traded Francis, Mobley and Cato for him, which proved his value.

At this time, Kobe Bryant had just driven away O'Neal and got the power to take sole control of the team, and it was his turn to take the lead. Although the three players basically belonged to the same era, they left separately. Three different paths.

One rises first and then declines, one shows power in the middle, and the other has a lot of accumulation, but all three have proved one thing, a top scorer alone is not enough to support a team, and finally Iverson left him The beloved Philadelphia came to Denver, and McGrady also went to Houston to play with Yao Ming, and Kobe Bryant also ushered in his new inside partner after two seasons alone.

Similarly, for an inside player, if there is no strong support from the outside, even if he has the power of an atomic bomb inside, he will not be able to play. Clamping, that can't be used.

Centers, especially big centers like Yao Ming who are huge, slow-moving, inflexible, and not good at dribbling, need the support of powerful outside lines. Yao Ming's offensive skills are already very perfect. The effect on those flexible inside lines is not very good, but there are no other problems.

His current problem is the lack of ability to catch the ball and the ability to pass the ball after being double-teamed. This problem cannot be solved by him alone, but this problem is indeed a big problem with him. Compared with "Big Dream" For people like Olajuwon, "Admiral" David Robinson, and "Shark" O'Neal, his weakness in this area is indeed very obvious.

If there is a good enough outside player, he can make up for his shortcomings a little bit. In the Rockets, McGrady does not lack this ability, but because of injuries, McGrady's offense has become more and more outside. Don't attack the basket less.

In the system of the Houston Rockets, Yao Ming's partner on the inside, whether it is Hayes or Mutombo, is a blue-collar coolie and basically has no offensive ability. On the outside, Sean Battier is a defensive leader. His general shooting ability has improved, but his ability to hit the rim is severely lacking. As a result, the offensive pressure is entirely on Yao Ming and McGrady.

Therefore, in the playoffs, once the opponent defends the two of them, the Rockets' offense will be deadlocked, and others will not stand up to support them. After Luis Scola came this season, Yao Ming The offensive pressure on the inside has only eased a little, but there is still a lack of a qualified scoring point on the outside, and Lutherhead can only make up for it.

It's not that the Rockets didn't see this, but with McGrady and Yao Ming occupying a large amount of salary, they have no room to pursue those capable players in the free market, and the only middle-class contract sometimes Still want to take it apart.

The middle-class contract is the average salary of the league, but it is not the average line of strength. Except for rookie contracts with unequal salary and strength, in general, players who can get a middle-class contract or above have two brushes at hand. .

Under normal circumstances, the reasonable salary structure of the team should be a maximum salary, two contracts above the middle class, and then add two or three rookie contracts, the middle class and several contracts above the middle class, like the Spurs. The salary structure is relatively reasonable, and the salary expenditure can be guaranteed to be below the salary cap.

And like the Rockets, because McGrady's salary is too high, and Yao Ming's maximum salary contract has just started. The most that can be given is a middle-class contract, and it doesn't dare to be too long.

To be honest, everyone knows the current situation of the Rockets, but this is a capitalist society. Alexander is not willing to pay, and no one can do anything about it. This is an unsolvable problem. Getting bigger and bigger, Yao Ming felt that the dream of the championship was getting farther and farther away from him.

Not to mention the national team, there is no problem with the Asian champions, but Yao Ming is definitely not reconciled to being the boss of Asia, but in the world arena, the strength of the Chinese national team can barely squeeze into the top ten. If you work hard, you can only advance one or two places, not to mention the championship, even the medals can only be seen.

But the arrival of Stephen made Yao Ming see the dawn. No one knew better than him that Stephen, who was able to play so well in the league, came to the international arena. No matter how uncomfortable he was, he was better than his teammates. After two years of hard work in the league, when it comes to the international arena, there is a feeling of seeing all the mountains and small things at a glance.

He is very optimistic about his combination with Stephen. At least from the combination of Stephen and Coupard, it can be seen that Stephen has a good sense of cooperation with the inside line. With Coupard's offensive level, he can still average more than ten points per game. , If you change it to yourself, then there is no need to talk about it.

So after he appeared on the field in this game, he mainly wanted to see if there was any problem with his cooperation with Stephen. You must know that the opening of the Olympic Games is not far away, and he will play a dozen games at most. The time for practicing cooperation is like this many.

As soon as he came on the court, Stephen shot and scored by himself. In Wang Shipeng's words, this is called setting the plate. In these three games, Stephen always shot the first ball in the opening game like this, and none of these three shots missed. It fully proves that His offense is stable.

The University of Memphis basketball team is no stranger to this. They have tried it a long time ago. Even if it is to defend, it is nothing to Stephen. It is better to play their own offense and defend others at the same time. After returning, The University of Memphis team here was scored by Anthony Anderson.

After coming back, Stephen dribbled the ball straight to the basket, and Yao Mingti came up to cover for him, and then Stephen went around the basket and then came out, pulling and pushing with his right hand, and sent the ball directly to the basket. In the hands of Yao Ming, Yao Ming only needs to go down for a layup or dunk.

This kind of scoring is too easy for Yao Ming. You don’t need to ask for a position, you don’t need to fight against others, and you don’t need to dribble. You just need to raise your hand and make a two-step layup. If every offense is like this Yao Ming felt that there would be no problem even if he played the whole game.

The next game was indeed exactly as Yao Ming had imagined. It was extremely easy to play. Even if Stephen didn't make a breakthrough, if he passed the ball directly to him, the pass was very comfortable. He didn't need to make more adjustments to start the game directly. There is no problem with the attack, whether it is timing, strength, or position. Not to mention in the national team, even Alstom's passing is not so good.

Yao Ming scored 6 points in [-] minutes, and then went off to rest, but Stephen sent four assists. After Yao Ming was off the court, Stephen started to kill himself at the basket, and then distributed the ball to his teammates who were all on the outside. , including Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, both shot very well from the outside.

This is because they don't suffer from outside physical confrontation, have a huge height advantage, and are not easy to be blocked, so their shooting is so good. Stephen has a new discovery. If he focuses on the basket like this, let They shot from the outside, and once they made a good shot, they had the possibility of winning against any team.

In the end, the Chinese national team once again defeated the rival University of Memphis basketball team and won the three games of the China-US Basketball Star Charity Game. Although Stephen only scored 24 points in this game, he sent [-] assists. And Yao Ming scored [-] points in [-] minutes of playing time, which is enough to prove that he is the biggest beneficiary after having Stephen.

Through this competition, more than 600 million yuan of donations have been harvested. However, a well-known local entrepreneur suggested that if he could take a photo with Stephen, he could take out 500 million yuan alone. Stephen will not be stingy Such a request, a group photo is more than the previous game, but it is a good deal.
