Chapter 392 The Rockets Resist Incompetent Yao Ming's Knee

"This game really has the flavor of a confrontation between Yao Ming and Zhong Yu's team... It's just started, and the two Chinese players have contributed consecutive goals to the game."

Yu Jia said in the studio.

Of course, the game between the Hornets and the Rockets must be broadcast on the circle.

Not to mention that this is a matchup between two Chinese players' respective teams in the playoffs, but just because of the popularity of Yao Ming and Zhong Yu in China, they deserve to be broadcast one after another.

Sure enough, this match had just begun, and it was played so wonderfully.

Zhong Yu's three-pointer, Yao Ming's jumper...all very beautiful.

Then, the Hornets launched a counterattack.

"Attack! Attack!" The Hornets fans couldn't keep their mouths idle for a while, and they were all cheering for the Hornets.

The Rockets still put on a 2-1 zone defense posture, but Battier stuck closely to Zhong Yu's side, not wanting him to score.

Zhong Yu was stuck by Battier, and he didn't want to force him all the time, so he stood by Paul's side to pick and roll him. Paul entered the inside line, and Battier couldn't go to defend Paul because he was worried that he and Brooks would form a defense—— Brooks defended Zhong Yu, and he could figure out the result with his butt.

So, Paul broke through, and Brooks was directly knocked away by him, but the Rockets' defense was designed to deal with this situation. Paul broke through to the inside and faced a fan-shaped defense. He continued to enter, only to be blocked.

Therefore, Paul passed the ball to West next to him. West also opened up a little space because of Paul's breakthrough at this time. Taking advantage of this space, West directly shot a jumper!

"Shh!"

Two-pointer hit.

5-2, West's jumper is very beautiful.

The Rockets originally wanted to use this defense to limit the Hornets' pick-and-roll coordination, but Paul's threat was too great, and the timing of the pass was too good, and they failed to guard West.

Then, the Rockets missed a jumper, Peja also missed a jumper for the Hornets, the Rockets scored after returning, and then, for the Hornets, Zhong Yu came out from the baseline and scored immediately after receiving the pass. The ball was given to Peja on the bottom line, and Peja had a three-pointer this time.

When the Rockets and Hornets started the game, they played relatively well, and the shooting percentages of both sides were not low.

The game advanced for some time, and the Hornets temporarily led the Rockets 11-7. Not surprisingly, the Rockets were not the Hornets' opponents.

The Hornets made it clear that they wanted to kill the Rockets inside. They tried to defend the outside as much as possible, but the defense was far less intense.

The Rockets' three-point shooting ability...in such a lineup, it is indeed a bit lackluster...

Of course, they have a super three-pointer Yao Ming on the inside-this guy has a 100% three-point shooting percentage in the NBA so far in his career, but he has only shot two three-pointers...

In this way, the Rockets had a problem with their three-pointers, and the Hornets took advantage of this weakness to beat them.

In terms of offense, Zhong Yu was not tired of being posted by Battier. He didn't take a few shots himself, so the Hornets' score was not too high.

Six minutes have passed, and the two teams started the first timeout of the game.

Just after the timeout, Zhong Yu ignored his relatives sitting behind him, but said after Scott finished speaking: "We can cooperate more... The Rockets lack sufficient means to cooperate with us in defense. "

This was also Zhong Yu's own feeling after the game just now.

Now that the Rockets have Yao Ming, the overall mobility is not very strong. If they are more mobile, then Brooks's speed is not bad, but it is easy to cause the Rockets to stretch too long, and it is easy to be scored by the Hornets.

This is a deadlock that is difficult to solve. Although the Rockets are fierce inside, they really lack sufficient coping methods against the Hornets, which are more powerful overall.

The game restarts.

"Second brother played pretty well just now!" Zhong Ran began to comment again: "He made two shots..."

After all, she is also 12 years old and knows a lot of things.

"Of course!" Zhong Rui wrinkled his nose and said, "Your second brother is still very powerful...the more powerful ones are still below."

The first ball was the possession of the Hornets. Paul controlled the ball for half court, and then passed the basketball to Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu's family members stared at Zhong Yu's movements intently.

Zhong Yu stood in front of Battier, the defensive expert Battier and Zhong Yu were very close, but at the same time he stretched out his hands to prevent Zhong Yu from suddenly opening the space and directly accelerating the breakthrough.

At this time, Zhong Yu controlled the ball and moved two steps to the right, then his shoulder swung to the right, and then the basketball quickly retracted to his left.

After mentioning this and speeding up, Battier also felt that Zhong Yu was too difficult to guard, so he quickly followed his footsteps. Zhong Yu changed direction again with the ball under his crotch, and mentioned his right side again. This time he moved for real. Added to your top speed!

Facts have proved that even if he is a defensive expert, he still can't get much benefit from Zhong Yu, whose speed is close to heaven.

No, after Zhong Yu raised his speed to the highest, Battier also knelt down.

The Rockets' 2-1-2 zone defense lineup allowed them to send two people to defend him.

Yao Ming, Artest!
These two defended Zhong Yu, and Artest was about to directly stick to Zhong Yu. At that time, Zhong Yu was driven to the bottom corner, and he had no choice but to force a jumper.

Even passing the ball is easy to steal because his vision is so unreliable there.

Therefore, before Artest came up, Zhong Yu put away the basketball and took the first step of the three-step basket half a step away from him, and then, at the second step, he had already come to Yao Ming .

At such an opportunity, Yao Ming was still ruthless in defense. He wanted to come over and block Zhong Yu's way forward with his body.

However, Zhong Yu would not allow him to do so. Before Yao Ming came over, his body had already bounced high. In the sky, he slid sideways past Yao Ming, and then he appeared on the other side of the basket.

Yao Ming could only defend Zhong Yu with his left hand... It's just that his wingspan was too short, and the ball couldn't pose an effective threat to Zhong Yu at all.

And Zhong Yu glided over the basket, swung his right hand high, and then towards the direction of the basket, he pushed the basketball in his hand hard!

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang from the basket.

Zhong Yu is really a freak.

The shaking of the basket continued, and Zhong Yu created the most exciting goal since the start of the game!The audience next to the basketball court screamed crazily one by one as if they had been beaten into chicken blood.

"Zhong Yu! MVP!"

"Zhong Yu MVP!"

The shouts of the fans were like breaking the sky above the arena and tearing away all the dark clouds. Suddenly, Zhong Yu's family members were extremely happy to hear these shouts.

"Second brother is really welcome!" Zhong Ran said with some emotion.

"Indeed!" Zhao Jing also said in a daze, "More than 2 people...are cheering for him."

The situation is indeed like this, the fans of the Hornets spared no effort for Zhong Yu's shout.

Yao Ming was a little annoyed, but Zhong Yu still scored the ball, which really made him feel powerless.

Moreover, Zhong Yu's way of scoring goals is a powerful dunk, and the roar of the dunk is still in his ears... reminding him over and over again.

Zhong Yu also tugged at the front of his jersey and roared. He didn't have to hide such a powerful and domineering goal.He doesn't need to hide, this is the moment when he needs to show his teeth and claws!

Zhong Yu scored two points for a dunk, and the score became 13-7. The Hornets led the Rockets by 6 points.

The ball then returned to the Rockets, and the basketball was handed over to Artest. Strictly speaking, Beast Artest also has a certain ability to organize offenses.

It's just that his ability to organize offenses is not obvious.

For this ball, he held the ball from the outside and waited for his teammates to get in position, but before they were all in position, he made a three-pointer himself.

A three-pointer is scored!Artest's three-pointer was not very reliable, but he still made it at this critical moment, giving the Rockets a reassurance.

"Good shot!" Yao Ming came up to high-five Artest, and then the two dispersed, and the Rockets began to defend halfway.

The relationship between Artest and Yao Ming is not bad, but the relationship between him and McGrady is extremely bad. As long as one of them performs well in a game, they will start talking about each other in front of the media. A bright spot for the Rockets during the regular season.

Basketball came back to the Hornets. Battier still guarded Zhong Yu strictly. Zhong Yu didn't attack the ball by himself and didn't look for opportunities. Paul controlled the ball and scored inside, and then gave the ball to Chandler. Chandler The layup missed, but he then jumped up and grabbed the rebound.

He caught the rebound and threw it out. Paul reorganized the offense. Facing Brooks, he had a whim, and suddenly shot a three-point jumper!

"Shh!"

A three-pointer hit!

Artest and Paul made three-pointers in turn, the score became 16-10, and the Hornets still led by six points.

The Rockets' offense gave the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming forced Chandler inside. Although Chandler is very strong and has excellent physical fitness, his defense is still weak in the face of Yao Ming's delicate skills. play a better role.

Yao Ming's hook lightly hooked the basketball into the basket!

"Good shot!" Zhong Guoxiao couldn't help but praise, which immediately attracted some hostile looks from around, Zhong Rui quickly pushed him: "Dad, this is the home court of the Hornets...don't make a fool of yourself. "

Zhong Guoxiao pretended to cough to resolve his embarrassment: "But seeing a good shot, I am also happy to see Liexin..."

"Don't let it go... the Hornets' home fans are still very united." Zhong Rui said.

The ball returned to the Hornets.

Zhong Yu led Battier into the baseline, then slipped out again, and after giving Paul a pick-and-roll, he immediately retreated beyond the three-point line at the bottom corner of the left wing. Paul passed the ball back to West on the outside. West passed to Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu received the pass from the bottom corner and made a jump shot!

"Shua!" It was another jump shot!
Zhong Yu's quick three-point shots and high hit rate are well-known in the league, especially after he threw 11 three-pointers in a single game, the league has a deeper understanding of him.

19-12, the Hornets lead by seven points.

The next game was roughly at this level. The two teams attacked each other, and the Rockets were unknowingly brought into their rhythm by the Hornets. The offensive and defensive transition was a bit fast, and the two teams The hit rate is not low, so the two teams played relatively well.

In terms of score, the Rockets mainly relied on Yao Ming and Scola to play in the paint. Artest occasionally broke through or hit a three-pointer to score. They scored a total of 20 points in the first quarter.

The Hornets have more offensive methods. Inside Chandler can score, and West can shoot jumpers. After Paul and Zhong Yu cooperate, both of them can shoot directly, and both of them can pass out assists.

The Hornets scored 29 points in the first quarter, and they have already led the Rockets by 9 points!
Zhong Yu scored 12 points in the first quarter, and he performed very well. He is the contributor to the temporary lead of the Hornets.

Back on the bench, Yao Ming was already out of breath. He felt that the game would be very difficult... It turned out that they were indeed very difficult.

He felt a bit exhausted in the first quarter. Yao Ming scored 8 points in the first quarter, but this was all forced. If he had a choice, he would also like to watch the team win by himself.

But there is no way. Against the Hornets, the feeling given to them is that it is too easy for the Hornets to score. If they cooperate with any one, they can hit a jump shot straight away, and the Rockets...every time they score, they will follow up. It is as difficult as cleaving into the sea.

In this case, Yao Ming also had to score...or else the Rockets would be doomed in the first quarter.

This game was too difficult... Yao Ming looked at the Hornets playing happily on the bench, and suddenly felt a little envious—if Zhong Yu was in the Rockets, it would be the Hornets' turn to frown now!
"Played well!" Zhong Guoxiao commented: "Scored a lot of points."

Zhong Yu chuckled, and didn't talk to him too much, just straightened his shoelaces on his own, Zhong Rui said: "The rhythm of the Rockets is completely disrupted by you...they can't beat you."

"We still have to watch the next game." Zhong Yu tied his shoelaces, then took a sip of Gatorade, and said, "The Rockets still have some capabilities."

However, what happened in the second quarter proved that Zhong Yu's statement was unreliable... because the Rockets looked very clumsy in front of the Hornets' substitute.

The Hornets' bench ... can still beat the Rockets.

Objectively speaking, the Rockets' bench lineup is not too shallow. With strong men like Landry and Hayes, they can still hold up a piece of sky, but they are even more clumsy outside.

The Hornets' bench lineup is one of the deepest teams in the league. They beat the Rockets very hard. The Rockets spent a lot of effort and found that they couldn't beat these guys.

In this way, when there were 5 minutes left in the second quarter, the score became 40-29, and the Hornets had already led their opponents by 11 points!
The Hornets then played all their main players, and Yao Ming also had to play for the Rockets.

Things fell apart so fast!

In the studio of Quanquantai, director Zhang said with some emotion: "It's really not easy for Yao Ming...he has to go on the court again...but there is no way, without his Rockets, it is very reasonable that they can't beat the Hornets .”

Yu Jia also nodded and said, "It's just that I'm really worried about Yao Ming's knee."
