Chapter 290 The Chinese Derby

It is not just the so-called 'Chinese Derby' that attracts fans to pay attention to this game.

There is also a collision of the overall strength of the two teams.

The Hornets have a balanced offense and defense, with endless pick-and-rolls, and the twin stars in the backcourt are shining, shocking the league.The Rockets have formed a Big Three lineup of Yao Ming, T-MAC, and Artest this season. Both offense and defense have been strengthened, and their strength should not be underestimated.The current records of the two teams, one ranked first in the Western Conference and the other ranked fourth in the Western Conference, the battle between the two teams will be very interesting.

Of course, that's what it says, but the Rockets' situation this season is actually not optimistic.

McGrady is a miserable person. To be a star, hard work and talent are indispensable. Luck is very important, but you have to work hard to avoid worshiping Buddha.Not long after McGrady entered the league, he got out of the shadow of his cousin. At that time, he was proud of the magic team.

It was okay when he first came to the Rockets, but in the next few years, injuries seriously plagued this guy who might have surpassed Kobe in singles at his peak.

Now McGrady is too troubled by injuries to hold his head up, and his fighting spirit is gradually losing. Only when people think that he is no longer helpful to the Rockets, he may explode once when he needs to be cleared.In the past few days, his injuries may have been slightly reduced, but this season, the Rockets can be said to be supported by Yao Ming.

Artest has just arrived and needs more running-in.

Before this game, he scored 20+ in two consecutive games, and it seems that his state has recovered. In this game, he will definitely continue his performance and prove that he is still the same McGrady.

As for Zhong Yu, after five days of injury, now that he is back again, he will find a place to prove himself. Although Zhong Yu may not be able to match up with McGrady, the dialogue between Zhong Yu and McGrady has also been hyped by many people. fire.

In addition, Yao Ming and the boxing champion inside, and how many assists Paul can get... Whether Yao Ming can block shots in [-] consecutive games-these have become the highlights of this game.

Before the game, Yao Ming specially came to find Zhong Yu, and he came to Zhong Yu's residence in person.When Zhong Yu opened the door, he couldn't believe it: "Brother Yao, how did you find this place?"

Yao Ming smiled: "Come and see you, your leg is hurt, is it better?"

"It's much better. Anyway, I can return to tomorrow's game."

"You still have to be careful." Yao Ming said: "There are a lot of injuries, and one injury is a lifetime thing. I see the way you play...there are more and more breakthroughs, so you have to pay attention."

Zhong Yun hummed: "I know, it's just that other teams in the league will not allow me to shoot or catch the ball easily... This is also a helpless choice."

"I know this too. I'm just saying that you should take good care of your body in the future. Now that you are young, you can fight hard. When you get older, it will be very difficult to recover many things."

"Well, thank you." Zhong Yu was really touched, after all, he was an old friend for many years, and he always gave himself a lot of warmth.

………………

The game between the Hornets and the Rockets has officially begun!
For this game, China's Quanquan Channel naturally participated in the live broadcast. Others, six local stations and four online video sites also participated in the live broadcast.In addition, most countries in Asia have live broadcasts. Yao Ming’s influence covers the entire world, and Zhong Yu’s is catching up. They may have close to [-] million fans in Asia. That's a lot.

"It's okay!" Although he knew the truth about Zhong Yu's injury, Paul still asked with concern. There was a meaning in it, and he also wanted to ask Zhong Yu if he had recovered his state now.

"Yes!" Zhong Yu nodded, although there was nothing sharp in his eyes, but they looked so bright that people couldn't even look directly at him.

Paul was relieved, he knew that Zhong Yu had indeed recovered.

He stretched out his right hand and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Zhong Yu gave him a high-five lightly, and the two of them split their right palms at the touch of each other, and then each said cheers.

This game is about to start!
The narrators of the circle are Sun Zhengping and Director Zhang. These two people can be regarded as old partners.In the past games, they have been responsible for commenting many important games many times. Among the Chinese fans, they are all old friends.Let them explain this 'Chinese Derby', which can be regarded as a perfect match.

Zhong Yu could feel the support of the home fans.

Even if he didn't perform very well before the 'injury', even if he didn't meet with everyone after five days, the current fans still regard him as the absolute trump card of the Hornets.

"The game is about to start." Sun Zhengping said: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think about this game, the Rockets and the Hornets, two teams with Chinese players?"

Director Zhang smiled and said: "In this game, both teams have to play their own style. The Hornets' average point difference in beating their opponents this season is 9.6 points, which is a terrifying statistic. Moreover, they also have 10 games The game suppressed the opponent's scoring below 90 points, but their own scoring average was 107 points. This shows that the Hornets are strong in offense and defense. This season, the Rockets are still a defense-oriented team. The game between these two teams, in some respects, is to see who can defend the opponent."

"So, what about the two Chinese players?"

"This is exactly what I want to say. This season, when Zhong Yu stayed on the court, the Hornets scored a lot more points. Now that Zhong Yu is back on the court, will it be right for the five-day injury? His game has an impact. His contribution to the Hornets is obvious. Today, if Zhong Yu can fully play, the Hornets' victory will be much easier. And Yao Ming, he has supported the Rockets this season. If the defense is dead Yao Ming, the Rockets will be in a stalemate... So, it can be said that the two Chinese players have become figures who can influence the game."

"This is the real Chinese derby!" Sun Zhengping finally concluded, and then said: "Zhong Yu has just returned from injury, and I don't know if he can continue his previous state of scoring 40 points per game... He is the best for the Hornets. It does matter."

…………

The game officially begins!
The first ball is a jump ball.

Chandler slapped the rebound away from Yao Ming's head.

Right now, the starting lineups for both teams are:
Rockets - Alston, Battier, McGrady, Scola, Yao Ming.Hornets - Paul, Zhong Yu, Peja, West, Chandler.

The Hornets have regained their starting five!Now, Zhong Yu, Peja, and West have all returned from their injuries. Although affected by the injuries, there may be some status problems, but this lineup is indeed down-to-earth.

Battier is defending Zhong Yu!Battier was called by Kobe Bryant the best defensive player in the league. He had honed his skills at Duke University for four years and had solid basic skills and his own set of methods.

On the first ball, the Hornets started to attack.

Paul passes the ball to Chandler, and Chandler passes back to Zhong Yu.

The fans looked at Zhong Yu nervously. Zhong Yu faced Battier and forcibly accelerated to his right.Battier followed up immediately. This guy was not fast, but he grasped the most difficult place for Zhong Yu to break through. If Zhong Yu insisted on going to the basket, he might be forced into a dead corner and make a mistake.

Zhong Yu decided to try his hand with the first ball, jumped straight up, and shot a three-point jumper.

Battier quickly caught up, but it was a bit too late... But, the basketball flew out, Chandler grabbed the rebound and handed it to West for a high jumper.

The first shot was missed, Zhong Yu frowned, but he didn't have any more thoughts, but the fans were a little disappointed.

The Rockets started to attack, and Yao Ming stepped inside. Alston, the streetball king, took possession of the ball halfway and lobbed the basketball to Yao Ming.But he grabbed the rebound, McGrady shot from the outside, and missed again.

The Hornets regained control of the ball. Paul broke through the inside and then passed the ball to Peja. Peja faced McGrady without panic and shot a jumper.It can be seen that McGrady is not very defensive in this game.

Basketball hit!

The first few goals did not look like a Chinese derby at all...

After Zhong Yu returned from injury in five games, he seemed to have no touch today... He missed all his first three jump shots.Zhong Yu himself knew the reason, he was blocked by Battier once, and at the same time, this guy made his breakthrough less effective... Battier's physical fitness is not top-notch, but with his experience to defend Zhong Yu still has an advantage.

The Rockets used man-to-man defense. Anyway, Zhong Yu hasn't forced them out to double-team him yet.

"Zhong Yu's condition is not very good. Could it be... as some people said, he has lost his aura in this belated rookie wall?"

"Impossible!" The more determined fans of Zhong Yu immediately retorted: "You should have enough confidence in him... Zhong Yu is this Zhong Yu, and he has not encountered any so-called rookie wall... In short, he will soon Those who can prove themselves with good performance.”

Battier defended Zhong Yu a little bit angrily, and the game soon reached the 6th minute of the first quarter.

The score between the two sides was 11:9, and the Hornets temporarily led by 2 points.

However, Chandler's state was a bit bad, and Yao Ming made two fouls for him, which made him a little disgraced.Now the ball has returned to the Hornets, just outside the three-point line, Paul passed the ball to Zhong Yu.

"Zhong Yu received the pass again." Many people put their energy into the court. Zhong Yu has already missed three shots. This time, can he restore the majestic appearance of the previous shadow assassin?
