Chapter 230 The Stimulation of the Derby
Murphy rubbed his chest secretly, his painful eyebrows were tangled together.

"It's too tall and heavy, and it's also very strong." Murphy felt that Yao Ming was almost at the same level as O'Neal. Once he got close to the basket, most people couldn't defend him.

The Rockets retreated quickly.

Richardson made a gesture, signaling Yang Di to come out and set him a pick-and-roll.

The Warriors' style of play is very simple, that is, the ordinary pick-and-roll cooperation between inside and outside. At the 45-degree position, Richardson dribbled the ball and walked in the middle. - Jackson.

In front of Yao Ming, Richardson easily completed the change of direction in front of his body and slanted to the right, while Yang Di turned around and staggered with him, instantly forming a partial two-on-one situation.

It's like a two-for-one football, Yao Ming who was raised vacated the position behind, and Richardson passed to Yang Di who cut in seconds.

Yang Di stepped on the floor, bent his knees, and with strong force from his Achilles tendon, he jumped up suddenly, holding the basketball behind his head with both hands.

Juwan Howard looked up as if he saw the bombers passing overhead.

"boom!"

Yang Di dunked the ball into the basket heavily with both hands, firmly grasping the basket, his body swung half a circle on the basket with inertia, and then turned around and landed.

Judging from the broadcast footage, Yang Di seemed to burst out of a crowd of people, like a slam dunk.

There were two such wonderful dunks at the start of the game, and the fans in the entire Toyota Center didn't know whether to cheer or boo to support the home team.

The Chinese fans present were the most steadfast. They applauded when Yao Ming scored a goal, and they also applauded when Yang Di scored a goal.

"Yao Ming can't defend the pick-and-roll, just like O'Neal. If the depth is enough, the inside with strong mobility is a nightmare." Montgomery thought about the strategy to deal with Yao Ming. Although there is no way on the defensive end, there are many ways on the offensive end. "If If Yang Di can make a more stable mid-range shot, it will be more difficult for Yao Ming to defend him."

McGrady dribbles slowly, looking for opportunities on the perimeter.

Yao Ming came out to pick and roll, and the two tried to cooperate as much as possible. After all, from the perspective of team building, whether the two can call will be the key to future success.

McGrady nimbly dribbled the ball past Yao Ming, while Pietrus stared at him and forcibly passed by the side.

But because they passed at the same time, it was unavoidable to suffer some disadvantages in body position. McGrady immediately accelerated, dribbled the ball with his left hand, and accelerated like a gust of wind to break through the Warriors' defense.

Yang Di blocked Yao Ming and prevented Yao Ming from entering the inside line easily.

McGrady faced Murphy directly, and stood up in three steps. Murphy jumped up straight to interfere. McGrady pulled the ball with his left hand and put it down, then switched back to the small lever with his right hand. basket.

The basketball enters the frame after hitting the board, elegantly like a court poet.

"Awesome." Yang Di was amazed in his heart. No matter what, he couldn't learn McGrady's playing style. He felt that he always had some unimaginable angles and abilities, and scored in a particularly chic way.

The scoring efficiency of both teams in the opening game was very high.

Richardson missed a jumper with a step back, and finally there was the first strike of the field.

The Rockets also missed the attack, and Murphy gave the ball to Pietrus.

Yang Dis started running, as if he was not participating in a basketball game, but participating in a track and field meeting.

"Be careful with empty cuts!"

A TV commentator on a local TV station in Houston exclaimed that Yang Di's air cut is too powerful. Basically, once he cuts in, the defensive players only have two ways to watch the score or foul.And these two, no matter which one is not the picture that the Rockets expect to see.

With an attitude of seeing death as home, Zhu Wan Howard stood on the road ahead of Yang Di, using both hands and feet, secretly pulling and pulling, delaying Yang Di's running speed.

But other Warriors players can still run and fly.

Pietrus passed the ball to Richardson who was advancing from the sideline. Richardson lowered his body, sent the ball forward, and took a big stride to keep up.

"Hey, old man, this is not a good way." Yang Di frowned and lashed out at Juwan Howard, shaking off his harassing hands a little annoyed.

Juwan Howard shrugged his shoulders indifferently, Yao Ming caught up and the two switched defenses.

At this time, winger Richardson faced Jim Jackson one-on-one.

After dribbling under the crotch, the right side flicks to the left. Richardson's dribbling fake action is not particularly obvious, but the front of the body changes to the back and the stride is large, still easily occupying the favorable position of the offensive side .

According to the truth, Richardson, as the team's top scorer, has the team's unlimited firepower.

But Richardson himself is not the type of player who needs to control the ball. After feeling that Jim Jackson's defense is quite aggressive, Richardson breaks through and points to Murphy at the bottom line.

Facing Juwan Howard who was defending later, Murphy made a mid-range jumper.

"Clang!" The ball missed.

Yang Di was taken over by Yao Ming, and McGrady rushed in to grab the rebound.

At this moment, Yang Di immediately gave up the counterattack, moved quickly in small steps, and called the other Warriors players to retreat.

After McGrady advanced to the frontcourt, seeing that there were no opportunities, he stabilized the offensive rhythm, and waited for the rest of the Rockets players to pass halftime before continuing to attack the position.

Yao Ming received the ball with his back and low position, two steps away from the penalty area.

Yang Di lowered his waist and bent his arms, his whole body burst out with top-level strength, his legs were firmly nailed to the ground, his body was like a pillar.

Yao Ming's weight of more than 130 kilograms leaned on his back, and hit Yang Di's body with a "boom" like a mountain.

The loud sound made Juwan Howard and Troy Murphy sweat secretly at the same time. These two Chinese players are simply monsters among inside players, and the monsters have to be solved by themselves.

Yao Ming was a little surprised by Yang Di's resistance. Even after he gained weight, he still seemed unable to advance inside.

He stepped on the ground with his right foot as the axis, turned his whole body over, grabbed the basketball in his right hand, then raised it high, and directly made a hook so far away from the basket.

Yang Di didn't jump, all his strength was concentrated on the confrontation, and he couldn't interfere immediately.

"It's so far away, there's no way to hook it in."

Yang Di doesn't think he's defending well, at least his big hand has never left Yao Ming's waist, and he still has some other ways of confrontation when he shoots.

"Shua!" As a result, Yao Ming made another hit, and he hit all three shots in the opening game.

The fans in Houston raised their hands one after another. Yao Ming has always been a player with a high shooting percentage, but it is rare to score so actively at the beginning of the game.

The "Houston Chronicle" praised Yao Ming's superstar performance. He showed a more vigorous scoring desire in front of his compatriots and led the Rockets to take the initiative from the beginning.
