Chapter 820 A Completely Different 5 Minutes

() No points in 5 minutes, two rebounds, three turnovers, one block, and a few passes, but they didn't turn into direct points, so they can't be counted as assists. This is Yao Ming's first comeback for the Sonics data contributed.

For the average player, even if this statistic is not very good, it is not bad, because there are only three shots in a total of 5 minutes, although there are a little more mistakes, but this is caused by the sparse battle and lack of game sense. , not to mention one more cap.

But for Yao Ming, especially for him who has always made a strong comeback, this performance is really not good, but fortunately, it did not cause any major harm to the team. Yao Ming was ready to play in the second half of the third quarter, so he asked Yao Ming to sit down and rest.

Although Yao Ming sat there without saying a word, he seemed to be sulking, but in fact he was reminiscing about all the feelings just now. He is extremely lacking in the feeling on the field, and he reminisces over and over again in his mind. The details of every movement, the situation of the opponent and the feeling of what I have made.

Yao Ming is a very smart player. This is no small cleverness, and a real big guy has great wisdom. It is very necessary to seize the opportunity to relive this hard-won feeling that has not completely dissipated, and the effect is also very good.

In the second quarter, Stephen took a break, and Carlesimo replaced Russell Westbrook and Jarrett Jack, an impactful double point guard backcourt combination. Outside the ball, Du Fei and Durant stood outside the two three-pointers. Channing Frye suddenly appeared outside the three-point line and suddenly returned to the basket. Although he was nearly seven feet tall, he His flexibility is very good.

This kind of lineup and style of play may not be effective for those teams with good defense, but it is very effective for the Timberwolves who basically have no defense. Both El Westbrook and Jarrett Jack didn't play indiscriminately. They distributed the ball to the outside line as soon as they were blocked, and the quality of both of them was very high.

Randy Foye couldn't guard either of them at all, although he didn't suffer from physical confrontation, and the replacement of Sebastian Telfair didn't have much effect, and the Timberwolves were quickly defeated. Without cost, the score gap was pulled to more than [-] points.

"It seems that the second half may not be necessary, and finally I can rest more." Sitting next to Yao Ming, Stephen said a witty remark. Although the gap of [-] points cannot be said to be sure to win the game, it is basically gone. What's the problem? If you try harder at the beginning of the second half, if you can pull the point difference to [-] points, you will basically enter garbage time.

"Hey, maybe you can win the game without playing, but I still have to play, I am born to work hard." Yao Ming sighed at the side, and the angry Stephen kept looking at him with blank eyes, who is it? , I have been resting for such a long time, and I am still working hard, I don't see how busy these people are.

However, this season Stephen feels that the pressure on his body is not as great as last season. On the one hand, his teammates are more powerful than last season, and on the other hand, the strength of the team has been proved. Fifty points are needed to win the game. In many cases, only six or seven points are needed.

At the end of the first half, the Sonics led the Timberwolves by exactly 24 points, which is exactly one point more than the Timberwolves per minute, and this still allowed Yao Ming to experience the feeling of the game for 5 minutes and Stephen rested for most of the quarter in the case of.

In the second half, Stephen really did what he said. He launched a fierce attack on the Timberwolves from the very beginning, scored eight points in a row in two minutes, and assisted Damien Wilkins to hit a three-pointer. In one fell swoop, the score was increased to more than 2 points.

After being led by the Supersonics, the Timberwolves also knew that the game was basically lost. Kevin McHale began to replace the veterans and replaced some rookies. It was not because he liked young players so much, but Anyway, there is no way to think about it. It is better to find an excuse to give up the game. The excuse of cultivating young players should be justified.

He replaced young players on his side, and the Supersonics naturally made the same choice. Anyway, they had already taken a big lead, and Watling was replaced by Russell Westbrook after only a while. Te Thomas was also replaced by Nick Collinson, and then rookie player Yao Ming replaced veteran Coupard.

Taking advantage of the chaotic timing of the supersonic team's substitution, the Timberwolves just replaced the rookie player Kevin Love with two consecutive three-pointers and pulled the score back. This makes people can't help but pay attention to this player .

People who are usually called Kevin are relatively thin, Kevin Martin, Kevin Garnett and Kevin Durant and Kevin McHale who appeared in this game, but Kevin Love is an exception. Physically thick, but it has nothing to do with thinness. Although his style of play is a bit more floor-like, this guy shoots very well.

But it's different from Kevin Durant's shooting. It's not so elegant, but it's very standard, and it's also very fast.

After playing for a while, Stephen noticed one more thing. This guy has a very good sense of rebounding, and his sense of rebounding can be said to be top-notch.

You know, Stephen has carefully observed the shooting habits and shooting characteristics of his teammates, so that the judgment can be more accurate, and he can shoot in advance, but this guy can judge the approximate landing point of the ball just by looking at the ball. Even with the advantage of jumping, he didn't take advantage of him, which is really called talent.

However, after Yao Ming came on the court, there was a great improvement. How to put it, Yao Ming can block a lot of rebounds without moving. Height advantage and jumping advantage are two different advantages. Rebounds naturally have an advantage in bouncing well, but the height of rebounds that grab and bounce naturally has an advantage.

Moreover, Yao Ming, who played again, had a great improvement in the feeling of the game compared to the last time. He received a pass from Stephen shortly after playing, and then began to play Al Jefferson with his back.

For a long time, players like Al Jefferson have been the sufferers of Yao Ming, because they are too flexible compared with Yao Ming, so this time Al Jefferson is still preparing to deal with it as usual.

In the past, when he met Yao Ming like this, he would take advantage of the moment Yao Ming turned around to strike ahead of time, while taking advantage of Yao Ming's unsteady foot to squeeze Yao Ming, while reaching out to hit the ball in Yao Ming's hands.

But this time he missed. Yao Ming seemed to be going to turn left on the surface, so he turned right in front of Al Jefferson. Who knew that Yao Ming suddenly turned right after turning half a body to the left In the past, although Al Jefferson followed suit, he could not restrain Yao Ming who rushed up. Yao Ming ran under the basket while raising his hand to put the ball into the basket.

After coming back, Al Jefferson took advantage of his footsteps to return Yao Ming, but he had already turned around three or four times, and he was still within the envelope of Yao Ming, which reminded him of Yao Ming who was at his peak. Ming, it doesn't look like he was injured just now, and his feet seem to be more flexible than before.

Compared with when he was in the Rockets, Yao Ming lost five pounds. For his height, the five-pound weight loss is not noticeable at all, but Yao Ming himself can feel the difference, the lightness on his feet It's even better than when I haven't joined the alliance yet.

In the end, Al Jefferson really didn't have the confidence to shoot in front of Yao Ming, so he had to pass the ball. Yao Ming completed a defensive task very well. Although there is no reflection on the statistics, people who know how to do it can see it , Yao Ming's body and defensive awareness were not affected by the injury.

Then Yao Ming and Stephen made a pick-and-roll cooperation. Stephen passed the ball to Yao Ming, and then Yao Ming passed it back to Stephen. The ball was thrown high near the basket, Yao Ming jumped lightly, and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Then Yao Ming followed suit for two more rounds. Although he did not make any contribution in terms of tactics, his personal cooperation with Stephen was very powerful. After the low-ranking position created enough threats, Stephen's side was emptied.

Stephen was able to shoot with only an inch of space to shoot, let alone such a large open space. He easily sent the ball into the basket with a jumper. After the goal, he gave Yao Ming a high-five. The name has not really been integrated into the tactics, but the feeling of the two of them working together is already very good. If the power of the whole team is added, I believe many teams will be very worried.

Next, with Stephen's deliberate help, Yao Ming made three shots and hit three times. Since his debut in the second half, Yao Ming's performance has been outstanding, not just on the offensive or defensive end, but on the entire influence.

By the time Yao Ming left the court, he had already scored eight points, three rebounds and one assist. The difference from the first half was that he didn't make a single mistake. This is a very perfect comeback stat.

Then Stephen scored five points in a row at the end of the third quarter, widening the point difference to more than 110 points again, and turning the entire fourth quarter into a garbage time, and finally defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 84-[-] to [-].
