Chapter 61 Houston Rockets
A hearty victory naturally makes people feel happy, and the unilateral massacre game makes the Cavaliers feel the taste of this easy victory is really great.

After the game with the Clippers, there was not much rest time, and the Cavaliers flew to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

Fighting back to back without rest time is a great test for the physical and mental state of the Cavaliers. The NBA game is like this, with a tight schedule, and sometimes two or even three consecutive away games, even players who have played in the NBA all year round feel weak.

Not everyone is Limbo. Most black players in the NBA rely on talent and physical fitness to play. After all, they are all flesh and blood, and they all get tired sometimes.

When the team arrived in Aerospace City, the head coach asked the players to rest immediately. No one needs to participate in training, as long as they are in a good mental state to participate in the game is enough.

That being the case, Ling Bo didn't go to training, and started to cultivate his internal strength. Ling Bo was planning to use his free time to learn a new martial art, and this martial art was extremely demanding.It does not require a deep internal force, but requires a very precise and meticulous control of the internal force.

Before the start of the game, Ling Bo also learned about the history of the Rockets and the list of current players.

The Rockets are a team with a tradition of high centers, from Moses Malone and Ralph Sampson in the early days to Hakeem Olajuwon, and the Chinese "little giant" who was the No. 2002 pick in the first round in [-] "Center Yao Ming is the pillar of the inside.

In the 90s, the big dream Olajuwon and the glider Drexler Rockets had a history of two consecutive championships. Do you still remember that sentence-never underestimate the heart of a championship.

After entering 2000, the heroes of the Rockets' championship gradually aged and withdrew from the stage of history one after another, and the old and new Rockets also fell to the bottom.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough. The Rockets, which only had a [-]% probability of winning the No. [-] pick, successfully won Yao Ming, making Dayao the first foreign No. [-] pick in NBA history and the first Chinese player to be No. [-] in the NBA.

With the addition of Yao Ming, the interior offense has gradually improved. The Rockets have cultivated Yao Ming as the core, and the eldest brother Francis has taken good care of him and passed his rookie season smoothly.

Last season, Yao Ming played 82 games, started 72 games, and averaged 13.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. He is already a qualified inside player.

As time went by, Yao Ming's statistics rose steadily. After 11 games this season, Yao Ming was able to average 16.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, truly becoming the Rockets' inside pillar.

With a height of 2.26 meters, Yao Ming has a soft touch in the middle of the offense and a strong scoring ability at the basket. He can accurately predict the position of rebounds in defense, and his ability to block shots with one hand makes many players frightened.

Cavaliers vs. Rockets game, whether it is inside or online is a test, especially inside, the bald macho has no height advantage, and Carlos Boozer may also be restricted by Morris Taylor.

On the back line, if Ling Bo doesn't play, there is a great possibility that the Cavaliers' back line will be blown out by Francis and Mobley.

From the paper lineup, where is the advantage of the Cavaliers, and that is to have LeBron James' striker.

The game was also broadcast on CCTV Sports Channel. The commentator of this game is still Director Zhang, and the other is "Ma Daochang".

In CCTV's live broadcast room, on the background poster, the Rockets are on the left, and the two guards in front of Yao Ming are Francis and Cardinal Mobley.The Cavaliers are on the right, and there are two strong men standing behind Limbo on the poster, LeBron James and Carlos Boozer.

At the beginning of the show, Daoist Ma gave the trio on the poster of the Cavaliers a nickname, the Iron Triangle.

Ma Daochang also explained that this iron is not the iron for shooting basketballs, but the iron that our capital talks about emotionally, commonly known as "old iron".

Director Zhang also said: "Hey, at present, because Yao Ming has been in the NBA for a long time, the popularity of the Rockets is higher than that of the Cavaliers."

"Ling Bo and Yao Ming's first confrontation is probably also the first time they meet. I don't know what kind of sparks will be created in today's game. The duel between two Chinese players, today's game must be very exciting."

Ma Daochang asked: "Director Zhang, based on your years of experience, which team has a better chance of winning this game?"

Director Zhang glanced at Daoist Ma, hey, you asked me to predict, what if I get slapped in the face later?
However, as a professional basketball commentator, Director Zhang still spoke very pertinent words.

"Actually, it can be seen from the lineup on paper that if the Rockets want to win, they must give the ball to the inside. The Rockets still rely heavily on Yao Ming in this season's games. If the Cavaliers want to win, it depends on how they feel."

Daoist Ma frowned, and muttered in his heart: Ha, you didn't say that, everyone knows this, even if the Clippers feel good, they might win against the Lakers.

What do you think in your heart? Of course, you can’t say it out loud. Daoist Ma said: “Director Zhang’s analysis is very reasonable, but my personal opinion is that the Rockets have a better chance of winning.”

Director Zhang also muttered in his heart: Hey, you really dare to predict, you are not afraid that the poisonous grandma will kill the rocket.

"Then you talk to us."

Ma Daochang said: "After all, the Rockets players have been in the league for several years and have certain experience. The iron triangle of the Cavaliers is Carlos Boozer in the second year, Limbo and James in the first year. And Limbo The last few games with James are not very stable, especially James, and Limbo is a variable."

Director Zhang interrupted: "Oh, you mean, Ling Bo's performance directly affects Sheng's trend?"

Daoist Ma nodded and said, "That's right, the real point guards of the Cavaliers are Ling Bo and Kevin Ollie. Ollie's ability is average, so Ling Bo's performance is very important."

Director Zhang responded: "I also agree with this point. What will happen specifically? Let's take a break and the game will start immediately."

The Cavaliers have already entered the field, and the Rockets are already waiting there.

Yao Ming walked towards Ling Bo directly.

He is coming, he is coming.
Naturally, Ling Bo also went up to meet him. Yao Ming is now a star-level player, and his influence is even greater. ESPN Global Most Promising Athlete Award (2000), Lawrence World Best Rookie Award (2003), these two awards are the best illustrations.

The two shook hands cordially. They were both young and the future of the Chinese men's basketball team. Yao Ming asked about Ling Bo's basketball career. After Ling Bo responded, he also asked about Yao Ming's recent situation.

Before the game, we couldn't chat too much. After a brief narration, Yao Ming returned to the position of the Rockets, and Ling Bo also started shooting practice.

The coaching staff of the Cavaliers on the sidelines were discussing something. Limbo saw Mark Osorsky's determined expression, as if he was striving for something.

After a while, the head coach called everyone together and announced a message.

"After our discussion, it was temporarily decided that Ling will be the starting point guard for this game."

　I wish all book friends a happy new year and a prosperous year of the ox
