Thanos

Chapter 49

Tang Shuai's face was a little hot, he finally understood Ye Heping's intention to defend Yao Ming.

Defensively around the front, this is definitely a good idea.

"This kid's golf quotient is terrible, but he is just a little immature. After a few more years of experience, I'm afraid I can't match it."

Yes, the forward defense is good, but there are loopholes.

The loophole is that Yao Ming is not an ordinary person. Simply going forward will often backfire, and instead allow Yao Ming to score easily.

To defend Yao Ming, two players must be double-teamed.

Tang Shuai called a timeout, and made another arrangement.

After the timeout, Ye Heping continued to stand by Yao Ming's side, while Odom stood in front of Yao Ming and gave Yao Ming a meat sandwich set meal.

Charlie Ward didn't realize it, and lobbed Yao Ming like before.

Originally relying on his height advantage, it was not difficult for Yao Ming to hold the ball.

However, Odom and Ye Heping's pincer attack made Yao Ming unable to move as he wanted, and his steps were slow.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Heping circled forward again, leaped high, and snatched the ball.

Steal!

After getting the ball, the Lakers immediately picked up speed and made a fast break.

And how could the Rockets with Yao Ming outrun the Lakers? Yao Ming had just passed halftime, and Butler had already scored a layup.

Rocket attack.

Charlie Ward did it again, only this time with a deep lob.

Ye Heping directly blocked Yao Ming, and Odom went around and grabbed the basketball with a slap.

Another steal!

The Lakers made another fast break, and Kobe scored a one-stop layup.

After the timeout, the Lakers went 4:0, widening the point difference again.

The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming worked hard, and finally squeezed away Odom and Ye Heping and got the ball.

Yao Ming turned his back to get rid of the two and made a small hook.

With a height of 226 and a hook, this ball cannot be defended.

Ye Heping and Odom could only watch Yao Ming hook.

boom!
However, with almost no defense, Yao Ming missed the goal.

Bang!
But then, he still scored with a supplementary deduction.

"Roar!"

Yao Ming let out an angry roar, the momentum was magnificent, the ball finally let him out of anger.

But after the roar, Ye Heping clearly felt that Yao Ming's breath became heavy.

After several rounds of fast-paced back and forth, Yao Ming was not used to it.

If McGrady is here, Yao Ming may be able to feel more comfortable if the rhythm is controlled.

But how can a second-rate point guard like Charlie Ward have this kind of awareness.

As soon as the Lakers got up, he couldn't help running, completely forgetting that there was a 140 kg, 226 cm giant in the team.

The game continued, the Lakers always maintained a fast pace, leading the Rockets to run.

On the offensive end, Yao Ming shoots when he doesn't come out, and hits the basket when Yao Ming comes out.

On the defensive end, Odom and Ye Heping continued to double-team, trying to keep Yao Ming from getting the ball.

At the beginning, the Rockets could still bite the score.

But after 5 minutes passed, Yao Ming's physical strength was too high, and his shooting percentage dropped sharply.

The Lakers pulled the score to double digits in one fell swoop.

Xiao Fanshuai's on-the-spot command ability is indeed relatively poor, slow to respond, and not good at on-the-spot performance.

By the time he realized something was wrong, the Lakers had already opened the score.

57:45, the Lakers led by 12 points at halftime.

In the second half of the game, the Rockets did not send Yao Ming, but let Mutombo first top the center position, and Jim Jackson led the team to play.

But Jim lost his original brilliance a long time ago, and he was very bleak under Kobe's defense, and it was rare to get a point.

The Lakers took the opportunity to expand the score again.

Little Fan Shuai had no choice but to replace Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming came on the court, he showed his power, scored several goals in a row, and led the Rockets to chase points.

But Kobe immediately responded with a three-pointer and a mid-range shot with five points in a row, which directly extinguished the Rockets' momentum of chasing points.

At the end of the three quarters, 75:58, the Lakers have led by 17 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets made a symbolic resistance and found that there was no chance. They quickly replaced marginal players and declared their surrender.

Tang Shuai didn't do everything right, he replaced the fringe players, and the weak chickens beat the weak chickens.

The game officially entered garbage time.

In the end, 91:77, the Lakers beat the Rockets.

There is nothing to say about the outcome. The Rockets McGrady and Juwan Howard are absent from the game. The three main players are the second, and it is normal to lose.

But the performance of Yao Ming and Ye Heping made the Chinese fans hooked.

今夜，姚明21投11中，罚球12中10，狂砍全场最高的32分7篮板3助攻2盖帽，一度给湖人队造成了巨大的麻烦。

If it weren't for the lack of teammates, the Rockets might have won the game.

吉姆·杰克逊17投5中，三分球7中2，罚球3中3，拿到15分。

查理·沃德11中2，三分球5中1，罚球2中1，拿了6分。

泰勒6投2中，纳赫巴3投0中，泰伦·卢5中1，莱恩·鲍文7中2……

These teammates are really useless.

Yao Ming was double-teamed, giving them a lot of chances, and they hit such a number.

In contrast to the Lakers.

Odom has 20 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists. He is the MVP tonight. It is he who pulls Yao Ming out again and again to create opportunities for other teammates.

科比19分11篮板3助攻2盖帽，老大今晚更多的把精力放在防守端，大量时间1防2，冻结了吉姆·杰克逊和查理·沃德。

叶和平12分6篮板2助攻2抢断3盖帽，作用同样很大，打出了职业生涯得分新纪录。

Atkins had 10 points, Butler had 8 points, Cook had 9 points... Mihm was miserable. He was just facing Yao Ming. He played 15 minutes, made 4 of 1 shots, scored 2 points and 4 fouls, and didn't even touch a single rebound.

After the game, Yao Ming invited Ye Heping to his Yao restaurant for supper.

No matter how they played on the court, they were fellow villagers off the court, with tears in their eyes.

The Lakers' five-game streak is finally over, with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, and a total record of 6 wins and 2 losses, still at the forefront of the league.

而叶和平场均7.7分4.8篮板1.2助攻1.4抢断3盖帽，已经是湖人轮换里不可或缺的一员。

Many people call Ye Heping an all-round warrior, but Ye Heping knows that he is more like a 2D.

A precise mid-range shot with a good defense.

This wave of five consecutive shots also made Ye Heping realize that he was far from being strong enough, especially in the magic game, Grant Hill taught Ye Heping how to play solidly.

"Ye Heping is a tough guy, always standing where the team needs it most, facing the opponent's core every night, but never backing down."

"I think Tang Shuai should let Ye Heping start. Ye Heping's strength is completely enough."

"He is only 18 years old, and Kobe was still on the bench in his first year, so why should Ye Heping start?"

"What's wrong with being 18 years old? James is already the leader of the team at 18 years old. Ye Heping can't even start the game?"

"Objectively speaking, it makes sense for Ye Heping to start. The Lakers' starting lineup has enough offensive power, but the defense is too weak. Ye Heping can make up for the defense. Putting Butler on the bench can allow Butler to lead the bench and greatly increase the depth of the Lakers' bench. This is completely killing two birds with one stone."

"Upstairs makes sense, +1."

"Ditto, +10086."
