NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Then, as play resumed with the referee's whistle, Chuck Hayes served from the sideline.

Zhang Jinshui received the pass from Chuck Hayes, dribbled the ball steadily to the frontcourt, and waved to Yao Ming who was standing inside.

Now, Zhang Jinshui's [Status Hot] special effect is still going on, and his three-point ability value has been added to 99 of the full-score state.

However, since Zhang Jinshui didn't have the opportunity to test in the training, he didn't know how much difference there was in the actual effect between the 99 of the full score and the 100 of the [Ability Value Explosion Table].

However, in view of the fact that there is almost a 100% success rate for pulling the explosion to 99, and [-] is a value that can be achieved by personal attribute points, Zhang Jinshui is not so optimistic about the success rate behind this value.

Of course, it must be at least one notch better than his own 90.

But for the sake of safety, Zhang Jinshui still decided to run a complete run without the ball, and then take a three-pointer after getting an open opportunity.

Anyway, with the special effects of [Status Hot], Zhang Jinshui's speed, stamina, strength and other abilities are at their peak.

Zhang Jinshui didn't do a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, passed the ball directly to Yao Ming, and took Rigno to the right side at a 45-degree angle to look for McGrady.

The moment McGrady blocked Rigno, Zhang Jinshui suddenly started, and rushed towards the bottom corner on the right like a tiger descending a mountain. His starting speed under the blessing of [Fiery State] immediately threw Ray Allen halfway away. step.

Zhang Jinshui, who was going to look for Chuck Hayes' second pick-and-roll inside after making a circle at the bottom corner, had a flash of inspiration. This acceleration seemed to have opened up enough room for shots.

Moreover, hitting another three-pointer under Ray Allen's pursuit will definitely hit the momentum of the Sonics more than hitting a three-pointer under someone else's pursuit.

Having figured this out, Zhang Jinshui raised his hand without hesitation.

Yao Ming, who had been holding the basketball up high and carefully observing Zhang Jinshui's running position, immediately passed the ball over, and it just flew into Zhang Jinshui's hands when Zhang Jinshui's feet landed on the bottom corner.

At this time, Lei Allen, who was half a step behind Zhang Jinshui, had rushed over with all his might.

But Zhang Jinshui was unmoved, stepped on the already thick green halo on the soles of his feet, jumped up high, and threw the basketball out in an extremely standard posture.

At this time, Lei Allen, who had no time to stop, accidentally bumped into Zhang Jinshui who was jumping in the air. In order to prevent Zhang Jinshui from stepping on him when he landed, Lei Allen hurriedly hugged Zhang Jinshui with both hands.

However, this very graceful action still couldn't stop the referee from blowing the whistle for a defensive foul.

And the basketball flying in the air also mercilessly entered the net hollowly.

62 to 38, Zhang Jinshui hit this three-pointer, extending the Rockets' lead to an exaggerated 24 points, and he also made Ray Allen's defensive foul and got a 3+1 chance.

There were sighs again and again from the stands of the Key Arena, and a sense of despair had already permeated the sky above the arena.

There is a high probability that the Supersonic game will be gone, and Ray Allen really didn't take advantage of it in the dialogue with Zhang Jinshui. Every time Zhang Jinshui made a three-pointer, it felt so depressing. ,terrible.

After landing carefully with the help of Ray Allen, Zhang Jinshui patted Ray Allen's shoulder gratefully and said, "Thank you."

Ray Allen shook his head with a smile, but did not speak.

When Zhang Jinshui walked to the free throw line and made the extra penalty, the score on the court became an exaggerated 63 to 38.

The head coach of the Sonics immediately called a timeout.

At this time, the second quarter of the game has already progressed to the 9th minute. If the Sonics cannot recover the point difference to within 20 points in the first half, and the Sonics still lack a defensive pillar inside, it is really fierce. Dorje is less.

However, it is simply too difficult to narrow the gap at this time.

With Zhang Jinshui alone, the Sonics can't handle it, and next to Zhang Jinshui are Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

After returning to the court after the timeout, when the Sonics put all their defensive attention on Zhang Jinshui, who was in a hot state, Yao Ming and McGrady naturally stood up.

Yao Ming first got his position outside the three-second zone on the right. After receiving a pass from Zhang Jinshui, he dribbled the ball against the opponent's center, turned around and jumped up, and easily hit a mid-range shot.

Then, after Yao Ming received the ball again in the paint, he saw that Ray Allen had the intention of double-teaming, so he directly gave the ball to McGrady.

McGrady was not in a hurry to attack, and when Ray Allen returned to his defensive position, he took a lunge from Ray Allen's right side. Mid-range shot.

Although the Sonics can also rely on Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis to score some points.

But a team with a strong offense and a weak defense does not have a high success rate on the offensive end. It is wishful thinking to narrow the point difference.

When halftime ended, the Rockets still led the Sonics by 71 points, 45 to 26.

Looking at the progress of the game alone, this is definitely a one-sided game with no value for watching.

Thanks to Zhang Jinshui and Ray Allen's double-star fighting skills, this game has a good viewing experience.

However, when the point difference is too large and there is no suspense about the result of the game, such a duel will naturally not continue.

In the second half, the two sides still sent their main lineups to play.

But after 5 minutes, the point difference was still hovering around 25 points, and Supersonics head coach Bob Weiss observed that the Rockets seemed to be only trying to control the rhythm of the game, so he decided not to struggle any more. All replaced.

This game is indeed ugly, but fortunately, Wilcox's injury can be used as an excuse, so Bob Weiss has no psychological barriers.

Van Gundy, who was in front of the Rockets' bench, naturally wished for it even more. However, he still cautiously let Sprewell lead the bench lineup for a while, and maintained the 25-point lead until the fourth quarter before waving his hand. Send Luther Head, Joan Barry and other non-rotation players.

In the end, with the whistle of the referee, the score on the field was fixed at 110 to 85.

Thanks to the supersonics' injury problems, the Rockets won the victory without bloodshed in this back-to-back galloping thousands of miles that might have been physically troubled.

After the game, the Rockets players gave each other high fives to celebrate.

Including Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, and Zhang Jinshui, this is the first ten-game winning streak for many Rockets players in their careers, which is of great significance.

And Zhang Jinshui also completed a system task, and he couldn't wait to go back to the hotel to check how many attribute points he had won.

But when he turned back to the visiting team's locker room, Zhang Jinshui saw Ray Allen walking up.

"Congratulations, you played a wonderful game. I can only say that you are better than the media reports." Ray Allen stepped forward, took the initiative to slap Zhang Jinshui, and said with a smile.

"You are also very strong." Zhang Jinshui said sincerely: "If your Wilcox hadn't suffered an injury, we certainly wouldn't have won this game so easily."

这场比赛，张金水15投10中，其中三分10投6中，罚球3罚2中，拿到了28分6助攻2篮板2抢断。

雷阿伦则是20投12中，其中三分13投7中，罚球4罚4中，拿下了35分3助攻5篮板1抢断。

Just looking at the personal data, the performance of the two is on par, and even Ray Allen is a little bit better than Zhang Jinshui.

All in all, the main disadvantage of the Sonics in today's game is that after the lack of Wilcox, the inside defense against Yao Ming and other Rockets' breakthroughs.

If it weren't for the collapse of the inside line that made the outcome of the game lose suspense earlier, Zhang Jinshui and Ray Allen would have been fighting until the fourth quarter according to the rhythm of the second quarter, and it is estimated that this matchup could become an unforgettable one. story.

The two smiled and chatted for a few more words, and after meeting for the next match when both teams were healthy, Zhang Jinshui refused to be interviewed by the media and walked straight back to the player tunnel.

In this game, Zhang Jinshui, who occupied more stage spotlights, was elected the best player without any suspense, and was designated by the official on-site team to participate in the post-match press conference.

At the post-match press conference, media reporters first focused on the duel between Zhang Jinshui and Ray Allen, feeling that the Rockets became the third team to achieve a double-digit winning streak this season after the Spurs and Pistons.

Then, they began to discuss the Rockets' next trip to Los Angeles, throwing most of the questions to Tracy McGrady.

自从00-01赛季加盟魔术队并将个人的赛季数据统计从15分6.3篮板3.3助攻井喷式地提升到了26.8分7.5篮板4.6助攻之后，麦迪逐渐成长为了东部第一分卫，且在02-03赛季和03-04赛季以场均32.1分和28分两度获得联盟得分王的称号。

Since that time, the league has had the talk of East Messico, and the sympathy between the two is also a topic that the NBA is talking about.

And in this season, Kobe suddenly had a new explosion on the basis of the previous top data, and raised his scoring average to an exaggerated 35 points in one fell swoop. When the league schedule was only a quarter of the way, it was already ahead of schedule. Book the title of scoring champion into the bag.

Almost all media reporters are looking forward to the first match of this season between the two basketball brothers who were once equally famous in the East and the West, and have successively won scoring titles.

However, the Rockets' devil schedule is too unfriendly to McGrady. It is almost certain that if McGrady participates in the whole process, it will be difficult for McGrady to have a good competitive state when he meets Kobe.

Gradually, many media questions began to gather, asking whether McGrady would take a rest in the next game against the Clippers, so that he could play in a better physical condition in the game against the Lakers.

As a professional player, it is difficult for McGrady to answer this question. He can only officially say that he will obey the arrangement of head coach Van Gundy.

Then the reporters began throwing questions back at Van Gundy.

However, no matter from which angle you interpret this question, there are some suspicions of challenging Van Gundy's authority as a head coach. The players in the devil's schedule ended the post-match conference early on the grounds that they needed to rest.

In fact, not only the media, but even Zhang Jinshui himself is very curious about whether Van Gundy will choose to give up the rest in the next game.

The Rockets' next opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers, who are currently ranked fifth in the West with a record of 13 wins and 7 losses.

They have Elton Brand, who averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds per game, as the team leader, and they are equipped with helpers with strong personal abilities such as Corey Maggette, Alien Cassell and Old Cat Mobley. The strength must not be underestimated, but it is not as strong as the Spurs and Mavericks, so that the Rockets must completely rest the main players in the next two back-to-back games.

Not to mention the time when the Rockets have just won ten consecutive victories and their morale is high.

However, if you continue to play the Clippers with all your strength, what about the potential injury risks that the players may bring after encountering a bottleneck in their physical strength?

Zhang Jinshui can imagine that if he stood in Van Gundy's position, it must be difficult to make this choice.

After leaving the post-game press conference, Van Gundy took Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Zhang Jinshui back to the Rockets bus in the parking lot, and met with a group of Rockets soldiers.

According to the itinerary previously informed by the team staff, all members of the Rockets will stay in Seattle for one night tonight, and then take a flight to Los Angeles at noon tomorrow.

Because the Clippers will be played against the Clippers the night after tomorrow, no training will be arranged after arriving in Los Angeles tomorrow. The main thing is to slow down the pace and let the players try to recover some physical strength from the back-to-back in the past.

It was already 10:1300 in the evening. Although the Rockets defeated their opponents without bloodshed in the past two games, the continuous games and the [-]-kilometer journey in the middle still made the bodies of the players a little overwhelmed. .

Not long after the bus left the parking lot of the Key Arena, Zhang Jinshui, like other teammates, leaned on the back of his chair, closed his eyes and began to rest, and gradually lost consciousness.

But at this time, Van Gundy's voice sounded: "Players, you have worked hard, I am sorry, I want to disturb your rest now."

Zhang Jinshui sat up straight, opened his eyes, and probably guessed that Van Gundy wanted to announce the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Clippers to the team.

After all, the game will be played the day after tomorrow, and the sooner it is announced, the sooner the players will be mentally prepared.

Sure enough, after all the players cast their eyes, Van Gundy continued: "I want to discuss with you the lineup arrangement for our next away game against the Clippers, and most importantly, I want to hear your opinions. "
