Thanos

Chapter 89 anticlimactic
The confrontation between the two continued to escalate, and the fans continued to applaud. This is directly treating the regular season as a playoff.

But Lakers fans are used to it, this is Ye Heping's style, tough!
The referee blinked and turned his head inadvertently as if he didn't see anything.

Tatum told the referee union that if Ye Heping's foul was dispensable, it should be treated as if it didn't happen.

The referee is not stupid, Yao Ming has never received this kind of treatment, why Ye Heping can?Because his style of play, appearance, and position are all more popular than Yao Ming.

It turned out that there was only Yao Ming, and the league had no choice.Now that there is Ye Heping, comparing the two, do you still need to consider who to choose as the face of the NBA's Chinese market?
In this kind of Chinese derby that has received much attention, the referee will not be stupid enough to manipulate the game. It will really offend the players, fans, and the league... There will be no good fruit.

After several trials, McGrady finally lost his patience.Pushing Ye Heping with his back, he turned around and shot a jumper.

This choice is very bad, but McGrady's shot selection has always been bad, worse than Kobe's.

Ye Heping gave enough confrontation, and blocked McGrady's vision with his hands. The defense was quite beautiful.

McGrady failed to take off completely, and the height was obviously not enough.

But he made a scissor kick in the air, using his strong core strength to stabilize his body in the air, and after a slight adjustment, he made a difficult shot.

Swish!
Still in, this is a fairy ball.

The Toyota Center exploded in an instant, and the Houston fans almost went crazy.

McGrady, who scored this goal, was also a little excited, couldn't help clenching his fists and roaring, and even gave Ye Heping a sideways glance intentionally or unintentionally.

Ye Heping smiled wryly and said nothing.

This is a very demoralizing ball!Even if it has been defended to this extent, it will still be shot, and the defender will really collapse.

But Ye Heping had expected it a long time ago. He was fully prepared before coming up this time, and he expected this to happen. After all, this guy in front of him had performed a miracle in 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

The Lakers attack.

McGrady paid too much on the offensive end and was obviously slack on the defensive end.

In fact, since leaving the Raptors, McGrady's defense has dropped significantly, and his attitude problem has always been serious.

This is also a common practice. When players focus on offense, defense will naturally decline.

Not everyone is always attacking and defending like Jordan and Kobe. It requires physical strength, willpower, and desire to win...

Ye Heping easily got rid of McGrady with the help of a screen and scored in an open mid-range shot.

39:32, the point difference is still 7 points.

Rockets offense.

The excited McGrady continued to hold the ball.

It may be because of the feeling of playing just now, McGrady didn't make any extra moves, and against Ye Heping's defense is the iconic pull.

Ye Heping still gave the maximum confrontation, and McGrady's movements were seriously deformed after taking off.

boom!
Finally, Ye Heping defended the next ball.

But before Ye Heping could be happy, the basketball bounced on the rim and fell into the rim again.

Ye Heping: "..."

This is really God helping McGrady, even such goals can be scored, and they are still scored consecutively.

"McGrady is really... amazing tonight."

If it was the past, Zhang Weiping would definitely praise McGrady severely.

But it was Ye Heping who got blown up tonight, Zhang Weiping held back.

As a professional player, Zhang Weiping can understand Ye Heping's mood at the moment.If it were him, I'm afraid his mentality would also collapse.

Ye Heping ran to the front field with his head down, and when he looked up, he didn't feel lost, he was very calm.

Unbeatable Xiaoqiang?

Sharp-eyed domestic fans typed this sentence on the forum, but it was quickly drowned in poor Ye Heping's comments.

Lakers offense.

Ye Heping made a solid running position, covering Kobe and rushing into the inside lane.

Kobe, who was flanked, passed the ball back to Ye Heping, who was open, but McGrady rushed up.

He was really excited, and he was actually willing to defend seriously.

Ye Heping didn't have a chance to shoot, but he passed the ball immediately, and the ball came to Mim's hands steadily.

Mihm made a mid-range shot, but Yao Ming couldn't save it.

Swish!
41:34, still 7 points.

Ye Heping couldn't defend McGrady, but the defensive ability of the Rockets' starting lineup was also average.

After all, they have experienced a deal like a reshuffle. Sura and Wesley have only played a few games, and the tacit understanding between teammates is not in place.

Rocket attack.

The moment McGrady received the ball, Ye Heping went up to fight directly.

The moment McGrady tried, Ye Heping resisted.

The moment McGrady shot, Ye Heping continued to fight.

……

No matter what Maidi did, Ye Heping would make Maidi feel uncomfortable, especially uncomfortable.

Still unreasonable, McGrady is really confident.

boom!
But this time, God did not favor him.

Odom received the defensive rebound, and Ye Heping finally stopped McGrady.

"This is just the beginning. McGrady's touch should also decline. He has never been a consistent output guy."

Divac said in Tang Shuai's ear.

"It's not McGrady's own problem, but Ye's confrontation has played a role. If you look carefully, McGrady's movements are becoming more and more deformed, and with the exhaustion of physical strength, he can no longer adjust in the air."

Ginger is still old and spicy, Tang Shuai explained.

"This kid, his defense has improved. In the past, he cared about statistics, and he especially liked to block shots. But now, as long as he can interfere with the opponent, he can do anything, including not blocking shots. McGrady is playing very hard. If he continues to play, he may go crazy."

In the next round, McGrady's difficult jumper still missed.

The Houston fans didn't take it seriously and continued to cheer McGrady.

But in the next round, under the defense of Ye Heping, McGrady made a three-point shot and sent the ball directly to Mim's arms.

To make matters worse, McGrady's offensive efficiency declined, and the defensive end watched Kobe break through and score in front of him.

The Toyota Center fell silent for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lakers went all out and came from behind to take the lead.

McGrady was really going to be driven crazy by Ye Heping, this guy is too hateful, he has to go through hard confrontation for every movement, and he has to bump his body first when he turns.

This is not to say that Ye Heping can prevent McGrady from death, but that McGrady's physical strength has declined, and his efficiency will naturally drop.

Stronger than O'Neal, there are only 4 or 5 unsolvable dunks at the basket in a game, and he can't bear too many.

So basketball is for five people.

But before McGrady went crazy, Fan Shuai called a timeout first.

"Wesley, pass the ball to Yao more. Tracy, come down and rest for a while."

McGrady didn't say anything, he wasn't paranoid like Kobe, so it would be good to rest for a while.

Seeing this, Tang Shuai also pushed Ye Heping on the bench.

Defense has always been more difficult than offense, and Ye Heping consumes more.

Yao Ming led the Rockets to play a wave of counterattacks, tying the score,

But Kobe scored 5 points in a row and pushed the Rockets down again.

With Ye Heping defending the opponent's top scorer, Kobe is really much more relaxed, his offense is more than capable, and his efficiency is constantly improving.

After that, the Rockets never got close to the score.

Although the crazy Sura scored consecutive points for a period of time, Atkins and Cook on the Lakers team scored more.

When McGrady and Ye Heping came back again, McGrady felt completely cold.

This rest not only failed to adjust McGrady's state, but saw McGrady sleepy, could it be that he went down to sleep?
Throughout the second half, Ye Heping defended McGrady with a 9-for-2 shot. For the 10th time, McGrady simply stopped shooting.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Rockets made several consecutive mistakes due to insufficient tacit understanding of the lineup reorganization, allowing the Lakers to expand the point difference to 15 points.

In the fourth quarter, McGrady still performed poorly, and Yao Ming also seemed to have physical problems.

The Rockets were a bit anticlimactic, starting fiercely like a tiger, but at the end they couldn't hold on.

With half a quarter left and a 20-point difference, Fan Shuai decisively gave up.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Rockets 114:101.

In the Chinese Derby, Ye Heping 2:0 Yao Ming.
