NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

McDyess's huge palm flew from the side, trying to block Zhang Jinshui's layup.

However, compared with Big Ben Wallace's slightly rough defensive skills, not only did he fail to prevent Zhang Jinshui's layup, but he also hit Zhang Jinshui's ball-handling hand hard.

At this time, the basketball has been sent to the sky above the basket by Zhang Jinshui, and then bounced off the backboard to within the range of the basket. After bouncing several times on the inner edge, it finally entered the basket.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded and an additional penalty was given!

In the stands of the Toyota Center, there was a burst of warm cheers.

Zhang Jinshui shook his fist vigorously and gave high-fives to his teammates who came to celebrate.

After he walked to the free throw line, the Rockets fans immediately withdrew their cheers tacitly, and the entire Toyota Center fell silent instantly.

Zhang Jinshui took the basketball thrown by the referee, patted it twice on the ground, took a deep breath, then raised his hand with the ball, and used a standard free throw posture to hit the ball steadily.

22 to 22, Zhang Jinshui helped the Rockets tie the score.

This is also the first time the Rockets evened the score after 2-2.

Unfortunately, this tie did not last long.

Next, after the Rockets and Pistons each wasted an offensive round.

The Pistons relied on point guard Arroyo's breakthrough to score, and Rasheed Wallace got an open three-pointer in the right corner.

Roaring Tianzun threw the ball steadily, the basketball slid out of a high and slow arc in the air, hit the basket and bounced high, then fell straight down, and finally fell into the basket.

25 to 22, the Pistons once again gained a 3-point lead and pushed the Rockets, which had just surfaced and took a breath, into the water again.

But at this time, after Zhang Jinshui's miraculous performance, the Rockets fans in the stands have regained some of their former calmness.

They were not discouraged by Rasheed Wallace's three-pointer. Instead, they all focused their attention on Zhang Jinshui, with expectations in their eyes.

At this point, with only 20 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, the Rockets have the last chance to attack.

For Rockets fans, they know too well what kind of method the Rockets will use to complete the final attack at this time.

In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Jinshui took over Swift's baseline pass and slowly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

17, 16, 15,

In the timer above the basket, the time is passing by second by second.

Zhang Jinshui stopped for a while in front of the middle circle, and instead of calling a pick-and-roll, he waved all his teammates to go beyond the three-point line to help him open up space.

To be reasonable, the most suitable for this kind of second attack attack is [Backstep Magic Shot].

But Zhang Jinshui had used this badge to toss a coin just now, so he couldn't help but feel a little lack of confidence. He was worried that the probability of landing heads twice in a row would decrease.

11, 10, 9,

With the consumption of time bit by bit, Zhang Jinshui moved.

He first dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and then began to face Arroyo for continuous crotch dribbles, and by shaking from side to side, he moved the opponent's center of gravity back and forth.

When the time was only 5 seconds left, Zhang Jinshui made a shoulder shake to the left, and then accelerated towards Arroyo's right hand.

Arroyo hurriedly took a step back to the right, but Zhang Jinshui pulled the ball back, took a step back and jumped up.

Zhang Jinshui's forward and backward retreat this time was greater than ever before, and it also represented his inner determination.

In the end, he still followed his own heart and chose to use the [Retreating Magic Shot] to complete the final attack.

2、1 、

"beep!"

The whistle for the end of the first quarter sounded first.

And the basketball is still flying in the air, following the expectations of all the Rockets fans, it draws a wonderful arc in the air, "swipes" and enters the net hollowly.

25 is better than 25!

Zhang Jinshui helped the Rockets tie the score at the end of the first quarter.

The stands at the Toyota Center were completely lit!

"Sharp shot!"

"Sharp shot!"

"Sharp shot!"

The passionate cries of the fans resounded throughout the Toyota Center.

Although the Rockets' dismembered team offense inevitably made the fans a little worried, they decided to put all these concerns behind them at this moment and enjoy the shock and surprise that Zhang Jinshui brought them in this section.

In this quarter, Zhang Jinshui made 8 of 5 shots, including 5 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points, 1 assist and 1 steal. He just relied on his own strength to help the Rockets bite the score.

In front of the top defense in the league recognized by the Pistons, this is definitely a Jordan Kobe-level god-level performance.

The Rockets players on and off the court rushed over together, surrounded Zhang Jinshui in the center, and walked back to the bench together.

"Jin Shui, you are amazing today!" Yao Ming happily rubbed Zhang Jinshui's head.

"Brother, your performance is really wonderful!" McGrady came over and patted Zhang Jinshui's chest hard.

Other team members also congratulated Zhang Jinshui.

But Zhang Jinshui kept emphasizing that it was only the first quarter of the game, and it was definitely not the time to celebrate.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!!"

On the sidelines of SB TV's commentary booth, Big Mouth Barkley let out an unbelievable exclamation while flipping through the documents at hand. After a while, he raised his head and said:

"Let's talk about an unpopular little knowledge. Since the 03-04 season finals, the Rockets are the first team in a year and a half to score 25 points in the first quarter when all the five Pistons are on the court. And this, It must be attributed to Zhang Jinshui who scored 15 points."

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "After this quarter, no one should dare to question whether Zhang Jinshui is eligible to be selected for the MVP list, right?"

After finishing speaking, Kenny Smith glanced at Ram next to him, and said, "Lahm, you seemed to be very concerned about Zhang Jinshui's personal data before. Now, do we still need to talk about this topic? Do we talk about it now? Or wait until later?" Let's talk after the game?"

Lahm pushed his glasses and said with a little embarrassment: "There is no need to talk about it, I admit now that Zhang Jinshui is eligible to be selected for the MVP list.

But one thing, you have to admit that Zhang Jinshui only temporarily used his personal ability to help the Rockets tie the score, but still did not solve the fundamental problem of the Rockets' team offense.

In the next three quarters, if Zhang Jinshui suddenly misfires, the Rockets will fall into a predicament similar to the first quarter at any time.

At that time, it may be even more difficult for the Rockets to recover the score. "

Kenny Smith and Big Mouth Barkley glanced at each other. Although they have always looked down on the temporary partner that SB TV is helping them find, but Ram's analysis on the Rockets is still very suitable for the actual situation.

Kenny Smith said: "The team's poor offense is indeed a relatively big hidden danger for the Rockets. In the final analysis, this is caused by the depth of the lineup. To solve this problem, in the long run, the Rockets' management must take action. Can you equip Yao Mai and Zhang Jinshui with some capable role players through trades?"

"If we just talk about this game, Van Gundy probably can't find a good way. Now he can only pray that his three super players can use their personal abilities to help the Rockets make up for the team's shortcomings."

Barkley nodded, deeply appreciative.

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the intermission period ended.

McGrady stood up from the bench with Swift, Alston, Uncle Mu and Anderson.

Before leaving the court, Van Gundy patted McGrady on the back hard and said, "McGrady, come back to the court and become active immediately. I need your personal ability to help us open up the offensive end."
