Chapter 99

Compared with the original history, Yao Ming's changes can be said to be great.

Originally in the 05-06 season, Yao Ming blindly gained weight due to the request of head coach Van Gundy, and his weight soared to 145KG in just one summer. This made him a low-post killer, but it also affected his health.

Especially after participating in the Asian Championships, he did not get enough rest at all, so that Yao Ming has been playing on and off this season, and his weight suddenly increased, which caused him frequent injuries. In order to pursue the record, the team often Let him play with injuries, so that when Yao Ming just entered the peak period, Yao Ming began to have the attributes of a glass man, and missed the best opportunity to improve. In the end, the best result was just to lead the team to the second round.

The fate of McGrady has also been greatly changed. The Rockets overused him, causing him to quickly decline from his peak period. Because of the conflict between his own injury handling attitude and the team, he was eventually swept out by the Rockets and quickly disappeared. It can be said that it is sad.

Yao Ming did increase his weight this season, but it was not a sudden change of more than ten kilograms in a season, but a slow increase, which gave his body an excellent adaptation stage, and at the same time, under the late tough attitude , Yao Ming did not play with injuries, allowing him to get more rest time, which allowed him to quickly step into his peak and become a recognized insider killer in the league.

Perhaps Duncan at his peak can indeed effectively limit Yao Ming, but at least Duncan, who has been plagued by plantar fasciitis this season, can no longer do this.

Yao Ming showed a tough style on the inside, and successfully beat the Spurs inside twice in a row.

Popovich had to make impromptu adjustments, telling Michael Finley to double-team Yao Ming when he had the ball, and asking Ginobili to be more determined about being late.

He led the team alone for half a season and was targeted by various teams in the league. He was no longer Wuxia Amon for being late. When he saw Ginobili find himself with his teammates again in the pick-and-roll, he immediately became alert.

The old and cunning Zhuge Weiqi is unique in the NBA in his ability to watch dishes. Zhuge Weiqi also brought up the rhythm of the entire league against being late.

Although after the return of the Big Three of the Rockets, it has been proved that the late game alone is not very effective, but Zhuge Weiqi still used it, which was forced and had no choice.

Being late is also a little fox. Seeing that the situation is wrong, he immediately shrank near the free throw line and called his teammates to protect him.

Seeing that his plan had been seen through, Ginobili still forcibly found him late, trying to hit him for a foul.

But being late was not fooled at all, and he did not give any physical contact at all. Ginobili made a layup in Europe, but was interfered by Yao Ming, and the ball went wide.

Ryan Bowen grabbed the defensive rebound, pressed the tempo, and handed the ball to Ars through halfcourt.

The Rockets' tactics are very firm, and they still want to play Yao Ming.

Michael Finley saw that Als passed the ball to the inside, and immediately chose to double-team. He was late and used David Lee to cover the running position to get an open opportunity. points hit.

Yao Ming's progress is not limited to his dominance at the basket, but also his passing ability. With the excellent three-point end point of being late, Yao Ming passes the ball to the outside more often, which makes him more difficult to be defended .

The Spurs attacked, Ginobili broke through and passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan hit the basket and shot, but was interfered by Yao Ming and missed again.

Duncan was in poor form in this game, and his scoring efficiency was very low when facing Yao Ming.

The Rockets also failed to score in the counterattack and were late to catch Yao Ming's point, but this time the Spurs were well prepared. Ginobili and Finley rushed forward at the same time, interfering with the late shot.

Duncan grabbed a defensive rebound and continued to press the offensive rhythm.

The offensive tactics of the Rockets and the Spurs both put more emphasis on the success rate, and there are not many counterattacks. The Spurs rely on the fact that the team has two breakthrough masters, and there are veterans like Fan Maniac and Finley on the outside.

The Rockets rely on Yao Ming's advantage on the inside and his ability to finish late and stably on the outside, and they can also play with a very high success rate.

The offensive rhythm of the two sides was slow, but the game was not dull. Ginobili staged wonderful breakthroughs many times, one of which he got the ball from beyond the three-point line and strode toward late to find a foul. He had to get out of the way for the second foul, but Ginobili's foul this time was just a fake move. He suddenly changed hands behind his back and dribbled the ball into the inside with his right hand. He made a 180-degree change of direction and completed a technique that shocked everyone. The layup is worthy of the name of its demon sword.

Even the person who was late was a little confused at the time, confused by Ginobili's breakthrough, and looked up to watch the slow-motion replay on the court.

It turned out that Ginobili's European step layup this time was very different from ordinary people. He leaned his left foot to the right, then his body suddenly changed direction, his right foot stepped to the left, and his entire legs were almost twisted into twists.

In the current league, there are also some Eurostep players, but there is absolutely no second person who can do what Ginobili can do at will.

With Manu Ginobili's wonderful performance, the Spurs' Big Three and the Rockets could not draw the score. With about 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Tracy McGrady played again after a 5-minute rest. The Rockets' Big Three will take the lead into the second half.

Popovich on the sidelines held his arms with both hands, his brows could not be loosened.

Just Yao Ming and Late are enough to cause headaches. Once Tracy McGrady comes back, the Spurs are really hard to deal with.

Just as he thought, after McGrady returned to the court, the Rockets' threat on the offensive end increased greatly. His ability to break through with the ball and the stability of scoring are not comparable to Ryan Bowen and his like.

The Rockets also don't want to rely solely on a wave of late three-pointers to end the game. In the situation where the Spurs are strictly guarding against death, such an idea is a bit too naive.

But McGrady is in excellent form today. Yao Ming's inside dominance and late outside containment allow him to easily get a single-handed opportunity in the middle distance. Neither Michael Finlay nor Van Exel can effectively limit him, which makes him The hit rate is as high as 70%, and the efficiency is amazing!
The Big Three worked together, and David Lee also benefited. He also got several open shots from the mid-range.

Relying on his stable mid-range shots this season, David Lee squeezed out Juwan Howard, who has declined significantly, and became the Rockets' fourth offensive option.

At the end of the first half, the Rockets entered the lounge with a score advantage of 54:46.

Yao Ming performed well in the first half, and Duncan couldn't limit his crazy performance. He made 11 shots in the paint, hit 7 goals, scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

He didn't take many late shots, hit 5 goals in 3 shots, scored 9 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. He also completed his task very well.

During the intermission, Pippen started talking nonsense again. He said that McGrady drove the entire team. Since he changed to a point forward, McGrady has shown his comprehensiveness. With his outstanding physical fitness and high golf quotient, Let him quickly become a top player in scoring and organizing.

Pippen said: "McGrady is an indispensable and real core of the Rockets. His style of play is perfect, very similar to mine back then. With his excellent organizational skills and good vision, he has driven the entire offensive system of the Rockets. I think The Rockets management should try their best to keep him, as long as McGrady stays in the Rockets, they will be a top team."

As for Yao Ming and late contribution to the Rockets?
Sorry, we didn't see the "first" small forward in history.

Many people complained on the Internet, saying that when Pippen explained the game, he felt like a clown. He always tried his best to compare these players with his era. How terrible, now all the players in the league are not his opponents. In fact, as long as fans who have been paying attention to the NBA know that the real boss of the Bulls is Jordan, not him at all.

At the end of the intermission, the Spurs sent their main players to play, while Yao Minghe came off the court late for the Rockets, and McGrady continued to lead the team with a single core.

Taking advantage of the Rockets' lack of offensive power, the Spurs recovered some points.

However, the Spurs' lack of three-point shooting ability has exposed their weakness of insufficient speed in chasing points. Even if Ginobili has a fairly good three-point shooting percentage, he does not average many three-point shots per game.

Especially when Tony Parker is on the court, the Rockets can unscrupulously let him go, double-team the Spurs inside, and strictly prevent breakthroughs.

Rockets on the defensive end of the adjustment effect is obvious, Popovich had to replace Tony Parker, replaced by Finley.

It's a pity that Finley didn't find his target today, and his three-point shooting rate can only be regarded as average-when playing against an average team, a three-point shooting rate of about 36% is almost the same, but it is obviously not good when playing against the Rockets.

The Rockets' three-pointers have a very concentrated possession of the ball. Unless other players are absolutely open, they must be late to end the offense outside the three-point line. The number of shots also ranked third in the league.

The forced Spurs can only increase Ginobili's outside shots, but in this way, his most threatening serpentine breakthrough is limited.

The second half was simply a replica of the first half. The rhythm of the two sides was clear. The Big Three of the Rockets played to widen the point difference, and then the Big Three led the team separately. The Spurs took advantage of this time to chase points. Widen the gap.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Spurs 108:97 at home, with a total score of [-] to [-].

In this game, apart from Tracy McGrady's longer playing time, both Yao Ming and Late got plenty of rest time.

The Spurs have a better lineup, but in order to chase points, they had to rotate 8 people. Veteran Michael Finley even played 45 minutes.
