Chapter 177 The Last Shine
The reality will not be moved by someone's efforts. It is a fact that David Wesley's threat on the offensive end has almost become zero. Although he is active in running positions, the Warriors' strategy is-ignore!
It really hurts, it's just a humiliation to David Wesley.

But this veteran has lost the arrogance of the past, and he has no right to complain that his opponent doesn't pay enough attention to him, all of this is his own fault.

Yao Ming still maintained the state of the previous two games and was very dominant at the basket.

In the opening stage, the Warriors used Milicic and Harrington to double-team, but Yao Ming didn't have a hard time playing. With Billups, the passing master, he can get the ball even if he is double-teamed. To attack Yao Ming is to get a position inside. Before Harrington's double-team is in place, Billups' pass arrives.

With his previous experience, Yao Ming did not adopt too complicated a play style. He just cheated Harrington, who was not strong in defense, with a fake move. Immediately adjusted the center of gravity and changed direction, and cut a small hook to the basket.

He is so tall that almost no one can cover him unless he shoots directly from the front.

After experiencing late help, Yao Ming, who has completed the super-evolution, is really amazing. He knows how to use his height and weight advantages better than he did in the original history. Coupled with the solid basic skills brought by playing since he was a child, the current Yao Ming, in the offensive The end is unresolved.

The Warriors used their own tactics to force the peak Yao Ming out. Unwilling to fail, he unleashed all his physical potential.

Even Yao Ming himself couldn't believe that there was such a huge energy hidden in his body.

Barkley was amazed by Yao Ming's performance: "Yao is undoubtedly the most dominant center in the league. He is completely different from O'Neal at his peak. Perhaps O'Neal's style of play is more violent and more entertaining, but I think at least this season Yao Ming has fully entered his peak period, and his strength is not inferior to that of O'Neal at his peak."

This evaluation is very high, because O'Neal's strength at his peak is unquestionable. He won three championships as the core insider of the Lakers, which is the best interpretation of his strength.

It can be said that even if O'Neal declines in the future, he will inevitably be a super center who has entered the top three levels in history.

But the current Yao Ming is actually not much inferior, so Barkley's praise is not a compliment.

What Yao Ming is not as good as O'Neal now is that there are only two championships and only one FMVP. He is inferior in honor, but in terms of his current performance on the court, Yao Ming is really strong enough to explode. Puth is too low-key, once again ignored) Leading the almost rebuilt Rockets to the Western Conference Finals is the best affirmation of his strength.

Even if Yao Ming's historical status is not as good as O'Neal's in the end, he will at least be a super center in the top five levels in history.

After taking the lead for the Rockets, Yao Ming returned to his own half with a calm expression.

In order to cope with the running and bombing of the Warriors, Thibodeau made some fine-tuning in tactics. After the offense, he did not emphasize on fighting for offensive rebounds, but focused on slowing down the Warriors' offensive speed. Yao Ming retreated immediately to let The Warriors couldn't play fast breaks.

This adjustment worked. Veteran David Wesley really worked hard. When the Warriors sent the ball from the bottom line, he rushed up to defend the late, which delayed the speed of the late ball. The Warriors failed to counterattack. .

When he dribbled the ball across the half and saw that David Wesley was standing in front of him, he was a little surprised to be late.

"David? You asked to mark me?"

David Wesley looked focused, looking at the late dribble hand: "Don't distract me."

Being late is dumbfounding—mainly because when he first joined the Rockets, because he only had shooting ability, facing the opponent's close defense would be a bit of a headache, so during training, being late often deliberately talked to the opponent to distract the opponent.David Wesley may have thought of this a long time ago, so he appeared super vigilant.

"Hey David, don't be so nervous, we're old teammates, don't you believe me?"

As soon as the words fell, the hand that was late to dribble suddenly paused.

Wesley immediately tensed up, all the muscles in his body tensed.

Today's task of guarding against late arrivals is indeed his own initiative, because he is only 183cm tall, and he is too disadvantaged when facing Roy. Even if he tries his best, it is useless when facing Roy. The physical talent is really nice.

Even in the face of a player who is not very good in physical fitness, Wesley is not sure, because he is too aware of the horror of being late.

He was a little too nervous, and the sudden change in the rhythm of being late was just a fake move.

As the saying goes, people should treat each other with admiration for three days, and being late at the beginning had no breakthrough ability. After hard training this summer, the one who was late is no longer the same him as before.

Wesley was deceived. With the overall decline in physical fitness, his ability to defend the breakthrough became weaker and weaker, which made him have to go all out and lower his center of gravity to prepare for the late breakthrough.

But seeing the change in his center of gravity when he was late, he immediately chose to shoot.

His shot speed was so fast that the fans at the scene even had the illusion that David Wesley was playing a match-fixing game and deliberately making late shots.

Wesley, who was cheated, blushed and looked at Late angrily: "You bastard lied to me again!"

Regardless of Wesley's age, in fact, this guy is often like a child. When he and Late were teammates, the two often made some harmless jokes, and Wesley was often deceived.

Late shrugged his shoulders, saying that I will not take the blame, obviously you gave me the chance to make a move, how can you blame me for lying to you.

It's a pity that Wesley has no energy to regain the scene on the offensive end. He runs diligently, but he is still ignored by the Warriors.

Yao Ming was double-teamed inside again. This time, Harrington was lucky and blocked Yao Ming's turning route at the first time, preventing him from making technical moves under the basket.

The rest of the Warriors did a good job of isolating Yao, leaving him almost completely out of passing lanes.

Wesley's non-stop movement played a role in this moment, because he was unmarked, he ran in easily from the side, caught Yao Ming when he was about to lose the ball, and immediately hit the ground pass to Billups on the outside .

There is a big gap in front of Daxin, he is not soft at all, he takes a shot from outside the three-point line and hits it!
The Warriors attacked again, Late played a pick-and-roll with Milicic, David Wesley completely ignored Milicic, and rushed towards Late frantically, even though he saw Late's shot, his defensive attitude was still very firm.

This completely reckless defensive method affected Late a little. When he shot, he instinctively made a dodging action. The ball missed, and he himself was knocked to the ground by Wesley.

The referee blew his whistle and got three free throws late.

Wesley immediately reached out to pull Late up, and patted his ass: "Boy, I will do my best today. I don't want my career to end in regret. I want to retire with three consecutive championships." !"

The one who was knocked down was not angry at being late, but just glanced at Wesley, feeling secretly in his heart.

Many NBA professional players live very glamorous lives, facing greater temptations than ordinary people, which leads to many players' private lives being indiscreet, but you have to admit that there are indeed a small number of people in this league who are Really very pure.

Wesley was not a pure player before, but at least now he has returned to his original intention, and he is turning the last energy into the most dazzling light.

The offensive and defensive exchanges between the two sides at the beginning seemed to set the tone for the game early.

Yao Ming still showed his strong dominance in the interior, and he was not too late, hitting three-pointers one after another accurately from the outside.

The scores of the two sides have always been stalemate, and the biggest difference was only 4 points. Most of the time, the scores of both sides are rising alternately.

David Wesley is still lackluster on the offensive end, and his shooting ability has completely degraded.

But with his rich experience and running regardless of physical strength, he has become the most attractive one on the court.

He is like a dying star, turning its dormant energy into a dazzling light.

There is no doubt that today's game has become the key to motivating the Rockets. When the first half ended, David Wesley had almost collapsed.

And his efforts paid off, as the Rockets were efficient in the first half, shooting 51 percent from the field.

The Warriors relied on more three-pointers to bite the score.

This is the most intense game played in this year's playoffs, and both sides have shown a good competitive state.

The late arrival was slightly affected by David Wesley's desperate defense. He took 11 shots in the first half and "only" hit 6 goals, and the shooting percentage was "only" just over 50%.

During the halftime break, Late had to admit that he had underestimated the power brought by the spiritual attribute.

David Wesley's performance is worthy of recognition. He has repeatedly disrupted the Warriors' formation with his experience advantage, otherwise the Rockets' scoring efficiency would not be so high.

He didn't help the team with scoring on the offensive end, but he brought changes to the team in his own way.

But Late is still full of confidence in winning this round of the series, because the hidden dangers buried by the Rockets before have gradually begun to emerge.

The biggest problem for the Rockets at present is that their inside configuration is too big.

That's right, you read that right, the Rockets' interior configuration really has a big problem.

David Lee is strong offensively and weak defensively. If he is allowed to play, Yao Ming must focus more on the defensive end; Starting from the inside without Yao Ming; as for Chuck Hayes, his short stature is his fatal flaw.

In other words, Yao Ming is the one that the Rockets can't replace. He is really important to the Rockets.
