Chapter 21 Thank you book friend Beidi Bookworm for your reward

Although Yao Ming's state in this game was poor, his positioning skills seemed to have improved a lot. When he was reminded that he was late, Yao Ming immediately turned around and opened his arms, firmly blocking the Kings players behind him.

Yao Ming rebounds +1
Yao Ming, who grabbed the rebound, made a strong inside attack and made a second attack. Darius Sangueira chose to foul.

Yao Ming, who was not in good shape, only made one of two free throws. The King grabbed a rebound and pushed for a fast break. The old cat Mobley broke through Scott Padgett and caused a foul. He also made one of two free throws.

Padgett grabbed the defensive rebound, gave the ball to Strickland, and slowly advanced into the Kings half.

Mike Bibby is also a heavy point guard, and his defensive ability is not too weak. Strickland is old and has no way to break through Bibby's defense and give the ball late.

Originally, his plan was to throw the ball down a few times late, and try to use the pass to tear open the king's defensive space, but it doesn't matter if he is late, he doesn't care about the old cat Mobley standing in front of him when he receives the ball, he just opens his hand and shoots.

Mobley's defense was already in place, but he was still taken aback: this kid shot so fast, completely different from other players in the league.

He knew that he didn't disturb enough this time, so he hurriedly looked back, only to see the basketball draw a wonderful arc in the air, and fell into the net hollow.

"Good job, boy."

Mobley gave a sincere appreciation.

He didn't answer when he was late, and turned around and went back to his own half.

Mobley followed slowly, and while lingering with late, he said, "I'm very glad that Yao has a good helper like you, but you don't seem to like to talk? Let me tell you, if you want to be here To survive in the league, you must change your personality, and it is also very important to have a good relationship with your teammates.”

"The main reason is that I have nothing to say to you. Should I tell you about the change process of the cell membrane during the division process, or the influence of the state of the nucleus during fusion on the particle flow?"

So Mobley was also confused, what the hell is this?Obviously I can understand every single word, why don't I know what it means when you put them together?

The king attacked, and after the king's possession of the ball was transmitted many times, Brad Miller hit a high jumper and scored two points for the king.

Yao Ming is also a little helpless about this loss. What he is most afraid of is this kind of inside player with high jumper ability. Because of his slow moving speed, it is difficult for him to keep up with this kind of player. Even if he keeps up, the Rockets' basket It is empty, as long as the ball is passed, it is easy to be scored.

This is also the result of the current Rockets' weak lineup. Juwan Howard's strength at the power forward position has declined sharply. Sometimes he can score some points when he explodes, but he cannot give Yao Ming more support on the defensive end.

The Rockets attacked, this time the ball did not pass the late hand, and finally it was given to Yao Ming who was about to reach the position inside. Yao Ming played well at the basket. He took 4 shots in this quarter and only hit one ball. The poor state can be seen.

Afterwards, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and they made 2 outside shots late, all of which were against Mobley's unreasonable 3 points, and hit one of them.

He has scored 16 points in this section, making him the highest scoring player on the Rockets.

With 2:58 left in the second quarter, he was replaced late by McGrady. Before going off the field, he failed to get another shot and the score was locked at 16 points.

In this game, he still maintained a super high shooting rate, making four of six three-pointers and four of four free throws. In the limited playing time, he still remained efficient.

Yao Ming, who was in poor form, was also replaced by veteran Juwan Howard, and Witherspoon also got a chance to play.

There is no offensive strength on the court. McGrady played well when he came on the court. He received a pass from Witherspoon and hit a large two-pointer with a horizontal drift within the three-point line. ignite.

However, the late arrival off the court frowned, feeling a little bad.

Because today McGrady seems to be a bit stubborn. He has ignored the actions of his teammates to ask for the ball several times, and has fallen into the vicious circle of singles.

The fact is as expected lately, giant planets cannot be entered all the time, and although McGrady is strong, he has not reached the level where he can [-]v[-].

In the next few attacks, McGrady repeatedly went to the inside of the King, but only scored one goal.

The big-mouthed Barkley can't bear to spray: "McGrady's goal is very exciting, he broke through to the basket and made a layup with the bar. The enthusiasm of the audience was ignited by him, but as a player, I think his style of play It is not reasonable at all. We can see that its efficiency is very low. In most cases, the other players of the Rockets stick their waists and watch him play alone. It's hurting the team."

Kenny Smith also said: "In comparison, I think late scoring looks easier, and we can also see that even when he is late and shoots unreasonable three-pointers against Mobley's defense, he Also maintained a shooting rate of around 50%, I have to say, this is very amazing, there has never been a player in the league who is so crazy about three-pointers like Late."

Barkley and the others in the studio naturally didn't know that the reason why McGrady behaved like this was because he was stimulated by Mobley.

The old cat's mouth was full of fragrance, which made Maddy lose his mind a little.

On the other hand, the late appearance also put a lot of pressure on McGrady.

As the outside core of the team, McGrady was the undoubted leader of the Rockets before the late arrival. He believed that only he could lead the Rockets to victory.

But it's different now. Although there is no other ability to be late, only the shocking three-pointer, but he has used this very cleverly. In terms of efficiency alone, no one in the entire league can compare with him.

McGrady thinks that being late is just a role player, a helper for him and Yao Ming.

But the old cat's trash talk really stimulated him, and he needed to prove himself.

McGrady proved that his price was very high. Before he left the field, the Rockets trailed by 8 points, and then used his precise three-pointer late to lead by 2 points.

But McGrady's efficiency was not as amazing as being late, so the Rockets' small advantage was wiped out within two rounds, and then the point difference was widened again.

Thanks to Weber's mediocre feel in this quarter, he hit the iron in the last two offenses. At the end of halftime, the Kings went into the second half with a 58:56 lead of 2 points.

Watching the team's hard-earned lead being lost by McGrady, it is impossible to say that Yao Ming is not angry.

McGrady was also in a bad mood. After only playing for a few minutes, he was so tired that he was out of breath. He looked at the scores of the two sides with his hands on his hips, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

As the two sides entered the player channel, the old cat Mobley suddenly quickened his pace and caught up from behind: "Yao, can we talk?"

Yao Ming was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Lao Mao has played for the Rockets for six seasons and is very familiar with this place, and soon came to the corner with Yao Ming.

Seeing that Yao Ming seemed to be in a bad mood, Mobley didn't show affection at all, and scolded him: "After I left, your strength has not improved a bit? Look at your appearance on the court today. If you don't want to go back to play , you have to show better performance. You should be thankful that you have a good helper, otherwise you can barely make it to the playoffs at most. Is this your goal?"

Yao Ming, who was being trained, was moved and angry at the same time, and said in a muffled voice: "What can I do? I am not in a good state today, and I know that. I am also trying to help the team on the court, but some people just don't like that. It's easy to let go of the advantages we have built up with great difficulty."

"Then stand up and speak your mind. This place is different from yours in China. Your modesty and introversion are useless here. Now is a good time for you to establish yourself as the core of the team. Late is yours." Compatriots, it is impossible for him not to help you. Tell the coach what you think. If the coach disagrees, tell the boss. If the boss still does not support you, then you will transfer and leave. The Rockets are not a humane place. Did you get kicked out by them if you didn’t accomplish anything?”

It can be seen from Mobley's words that he still has a lot of resentment in his heart for being used as a bargaining chip to trade McGrady.

But he is more, but still mentioning Yao Ming.

If you want to be the core of the team, you have to fight and show your attitude.

Yao Ming is not stupid, he knows that the old cat is also for his own benefit, if these words are spoken by another person, he may be suspected of sowing discord, doesn't the old cat know this?

"Yao, you are my brother. Although I left the Rockets, I really want to see you can show your strength in the league and become the most dominant center in this league, even the MVP! Believe in yourself, Your talent is far from fully revealed. Before today, I didn't want to tell you these words, but late Yancun shot me a few times, which made me realize that even without McGrady, you can still fight Come out and work hard brother, I will bless you."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his fist, lightly hammered Yao Ming's chest, and entered the visiting team's locker room without looking back.

Yao Ming was stunned for a while, then he also returned to the locker room and sat next to Late.

"I want to be the core, I want to be the boss!"

Yao Ming's eyes drifted a little, and he finally looked at the team's head coach Van Gundy.

Chi Dui heard his whisper and said with a smile: "What? Is this a training? It seems that the old cat really loves you."

Yao Ming shook his head slightly: "It's so small, you don't have to make fun of me, I need your help."

"Yes." Late agreed, and then said, "You are using the learning machine to practice low-post offensive skills, right?"

Seeing that Yao Ming nodded, he was late and said: "I originally gave you the learning machine to let you accumulate more experience, not to let you hone your skills. I reminded you at the beginning that it was honed with the learning machine. Skills will make your consciousness exceed your body's ability to control, resulting in many movements you want to do but can't do."

"Then what should I do?" Yao Ming asked worriedly.

"It depends on your determination. If you want to improve your strength quickly, you need the ball. The top superstars are all fed by the ball. If you have talent, you don't have the ball. Naturally, it is impossible to play."
