NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Zhang Jinshui carefully brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then waved to David Wesley specifically, asking him to bring Paul Pierce over to help him do the pick-and-roll.

After a successful switch, Zhang Jinshui dribbled the ball to face Paul Pierce directly.

The discerning Rockets fans could tell that Zhang Jinshui was about to hit the opponent solo, and they all put their hands together with apprehensive faces.

Some fans sighed worriedly: "I feel that Zhang Jinshui is a little too impulsive. Every time he is singled out, he always wants to respond to the other party. Paul Pierce is about 10 centimeters taller than him, with long hands and long feet. Such a single game is a disadvantage."

The fans next to him said expectantly: "But have you noticed that when Zhang Jinshui hits this kind of response ball, the success rate is often very high."

"Oh, you are too optimistic, you have to analyze it based on the actual situation on the field."

Before the fan's words fell, Zhang Jinshui moved on the field. He pushed Paul Pierce to the top of the arc, dribbled the ball with his left and right hands back and forth in disguise, took a step forward to the right, and then stepped back suddenly and jumped. Get up and throw the ball.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc in the air and falls gracefully towards the hoop.

Although the ball was used in the posture of "retreat step and sharp shot", the special effect was a [-]% hit of "eye for an eye".

There was only a "swipe", and the basketball was hollowed into the net.

The fans who were still expressing their worries from the "actual situation" just now shouted in surprise: "Damn, the success rate is really high!"

After speaking, he and all the fans in the stands dedicated their cheers to Zhang Jinshui.

Many fans, following the rhythm of Zhang Jinshui, raised the three fingers of their right hand and shook them vigorously in the air.

42 to 32, Zhang Jinshui's ball finally helped the Rockets stabilize the situation smoothly.

After the Celtics experienced a frenzy of chasing points under the leadership of Paul Pierce, their momentum gradually weakened.

The spotlight of the stage returned to Yao Ming and Zhang Jinshui again.

With Zhang Jinshui's containment on the outside, Yao Ming can finally take a good look at the Celtics inside.

Although he may have been affected by yesterday's game and his physical condition is average today, Yao Ming made 6 of 3 shots from the paint and 2 of 2 free throws in the rest of the second quarter, scoring 8 points and 5 rebounds.

And when the Celtics double-teamed him, he began to distribute the ball to Zhang Jinshui on the outside.

Zhang Jinshui hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and immediately transferred the ball to assist Uncle Huo to hit a high two-pointer after receiving the ball.

When the first half ended, Yao Ming and Zhang Jinshui blossomed inside and out, helping the Rockets regain an 56-point lead 38-18.

Zhang Jinshui scored a terrifying 27 points and 6 assists in the first half.

In the commentary of SB TV station, Big Mouth Barkley shouted excitedly: "Following this trend, Zhang Jinshui may score more than 50 points in the whole game, which will break the record created by Iverson. 50-point scoring record in his rookie season."

"That also needs a premise, that is, the Celtics can keep Zhang Jinshui on the court until the end of the fourth quarter. The question is, can the Celtics keep the suspense of the game until the fourth quarter? "Kenny Smith said with a smile. .

"38 to 56, I think it should be very difficult." Barkley laughed, only feeling refreshed. Since he proclaimed himself the second blower in the beautiful country, he found himself full of confidence in the commentary, like a fish in water.

In the comments section, only SB host Ram, who always wanted to be the light of justice to sanction Zhang Jinshui, was left with a livid face.

......

"Zhang Jinshui, your performance today is really amazing."

"27 points in the half, Zhang Jinshui, come on in the second half, show us 60 points."

"Zhang Jinshui, get 60 points, I'll let you sleep!"

After the half-time break, when returning to the court from the player tunnel, the fans on both sides of the tunnel shouted enthusiastically to Zhang Jinshui.

Zhang Jinshui's neck was stiff, and he dared not look back to see what the girl who shouted at the end looked like.

In case Zi Chunlin finds out, who will he find to reason with.

But having said that, smooth hands were one of the reasons why he scored 27 points in the first half, and the more important reason was that he had already used up all the badges he could use except for [Fu Lin Xin Zhi]. Playing 24 minutes on the court with full energy, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get the same score.

What's more, if you can clock in three quarters, why not?

This is just an ordinary regular season, and it's the second game of back-to-back games. It doesn't make any sense to risk the possibility of physical damage to score 60 points.

If he really wanted to score 60 points, he would only choose the last game of the finals when he was sure of winning.

Other sessions will only serve that session.

In the second half, there was no change in the starting lineups of the two sides.

The Celtics' targeting of Yao Ming was even more exaggerated, and it was double-teaming.

However, Yao Ming is a super giant after all, and double-teaming can limit him to a certain extent, but it is absolutely impossible to lock him up, especially after a long halftime break.

In the gap between double teams, Yao Ming still turned around and went inside to score points after catching the ball twice, and once after Uncle Huo missed a high jumper, he grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked successfully.

In the first 6 minutes of the entire third quarter, the Rockets' performance on the offensive end could barely be regarded as stumbled, but on the defensive end, they restricted all Celtics players except Paul Pierce (it may also be because the ability of other players is really average. ).

In the end, when Zhang Jinshui returned to the court, the Rockets still led the Celtics by 68 points 49 to 19.

After Zhang Jinshui came on the court, he continued to hand the ball to Yao Ming inside, then moved to the top of the arc, received the ball after the latter was double-teamed, raised his knife and dropped it, and scored a three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, the two teams stalemate for more than a minute, Zhang Jinshui's [Fulin Xinzhi] was randomly triggered, he took the ball to the frontcourt, took two big steps outside the three-point line, jumped high, and completed a Remember the long-awaited ultra-long three-pointer.

The score on the field was rewritten to 76 to 51.

So far, the third quarter has gone on for more than 8 minutes. Rivers replaced all the main players with a black face and gave up the game.

"Zhang Jinshui!" Van Gundy called Zhang Jinshui, his eyes full of inquiries.

Seeing Zhang Jinshui shaking his head, Van Gundy waved his hand and replaced Yao Ming, Zhang Jinshui and others.

"After hitting the Nets in three quarters yesterday, I clocked in the Celtics in three quarters today, and it was still in McGrady's truce. It really felt a little overwhelming."

Kenny Smith sighed to Big Mouth Barkley: "The Rockets drafted Zhang Jinshui this year, which is like adding a third player for free. The strength is a bit strong."

"Yeah, after this back-to-back game, the first week and a half of the league is over, and the NBA will officially summarize and announce the latest list. I am looking forward to it. At that time, they will rank the Rockets in the power list. , Of course, I am also curious about the players who lead the rookie list and the MVP list, and who will be the player of the week."

When Zhang Jinshui left the stage, he waved his hand at Zi Chunlin who was on the side, and said "wait for me" with his lips.

Zi Chunlin smiled at Zhang Jinshui, pretending to look at the court as if nothing had happened, but how could the shyness hidden in her eyes escape Zhang Jinshui's keen eyes.

Zhang Jinshui suddenly became a little blindly confident. Could it be that Sister Chunlin actually didn't want to run away at all?

In the end, the Rockets beat the Celtics 100-81 after a quarter and a half of bench competition.

After Zhang Jinshui scored 27 points and 6 assists in the first half, he played for 2 and a half minutes in the second half and killed the game with 2 three-pointers.

He also fixed his statistics at 33 points, 6 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, which is the biggest contributor to the Rockets' victory in this game.

Yao Ming's performance today was a little lackluster after yesterday's big kill, but his 18 points and 11 rebounds are at least passable.

In the commentary on the sidelines, when talking about the recent performance of the Rockets, the expressions of ball critics and experts became very complicated.

If the Rockets beat the Heat in the fourth game, they gave the outside world quite a surprise as a challenger.

The two consecutive back-to-back three-quarter check-ins began to convey a message to the entire NBA. The Rockets have gradually evolved from a low-level challenger to a superior player who has the power to win and lose.

Although many beautiful country reporters have been rejected by Zhang Jinshui many times, they still rushed to let Zhang Jinshui talk about his recent performance and the performance of the Rockets.

How could Zhang Jinshui talk to them, he pushed away the microphone that was stretched out in front of his face, and came straight to Zi Chunlin.

Today's Houston is blustery, and the night temperature has dropped to single digits. Zi Chunlin is wrapped in a gray scarf and wearing a thin white down jacket, but it is still difficult to hide her exquisite figure.

With a smile, he helped Zi Chunlin straighten the messy hair that was squeezed by the scarf, and then hugged Zi Chunlin in his arms.

He may not even be aware of it, but before he knew it, he and Zi Chunlin had evolved from a simple ceremonial embrace to Zhang Jinshui directly hugging Zi Chunlin in his arms.

Zi Chunlin didn't resist either, but she always pushed Zhang Jinshui away after being hugged by Zhang Jinshui for 2 or 3 seconds.

Zhang Jinshui understands that you can't hug for too long in public, if you want to hug...

Looking at Zi Chunlin's pretty red face, he fell in love with this woman in his heart, made an appointment with her to meet at the same place later, and then turned back to the arena.

After accepting Zhao Miner's exclusive interview, Zhang Jinshui went straight back to the players' locker room.

Van Gundy came here early today, leading the Rockets players to applaud Zhang Jinshui immediately.

After that, Van Gundy asked the players to go home early to rest, gather at the airport at 9:[-] tomorrow morning, and take a special plane to Minnesota.

Their devil schedule has just been less than half. The day after tomorrow, they will challenge the Timberwolves away, and then they will play back-to-back games against the two most powerful teams in the league, which are also last year's Eastern Conference champions and Western Conference champions, the Spurs and Pistons.

After Van Gundy finished speaking, Dawson walked up to Zhang Jinshui and said, "Zhang Jinshui, hurry up and take a shower and change clothes. I will attend the post-match press conference later."

Zhang Jinshui was rushing back to check the one-time consumables rewarded by the system at night. He was about to refuse, but Dawson said, "The NBA roll call, you have to go, otherwise, we will all be fined."

Zhang Jinshui couldn't help feeling a little helpless. With McGrady standing in front of him before, the three of Van Gundy, Yao Ming and McGrady were enough for the press conference.

But McGrady didn't play today, and he played superbly in the first half, so it is expected that he will be named by the league.

Zhang Jinshui can only take the time to take a shower, and then pray that the post-match interview will end soon.

After taking a bath, Zhang Jinshui went to the corridor to say hello to Zi Chunlin who was already waiting there, and then followed Van Gundy and Yao Ming, and left the locker room together.

The post-match press conference was still held in the huge room last time.

Van Gundy was the first to accept an interview. He told the media that Tracy McGrady was in good health, praised Zhang Jinshui and Yao Ming, complained that the league's schedule for the Rockets was too much, and solemnly announced that the Rockets' state and lineup this year are very good. It's the best time to challenge for the championship.

Next, Yao Ming mainly praised Zhang Jinshui who brought them many surprises, and followed Van Gundy's caliber to set the Rockets' goal at the championship.

In the end it was Zhang Jinshui's turn, and he sidestepped reporters calling his 27-point first-half performance the greatest rookie performance since Iverson.

He only said that he was very relaxed playing next to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, thanked Van Gundy for his trust, and followed the caliber of Van Gundy and Yao Ming in the end, and will do his best to help the Rockets strive for this year's championship.

After half an hour, the post-match press conference finally came to an end.

After Zhang Jinshui said goodbye to Van Gundy, Yao Ming, Dawson and others, he hurriedly walked to the players-only lane in the Toyota Center parking lot.

Zi Chunlin and Zi Qiuli were already waiting there.

Seeing Zhang Jinshui, Zi Chunlin looked gentle, shook a bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go home straight away, just now I went to pack a hamburger for you during the post-match press conference.

You have to get up early tomorrow, so you won't eat outside. Besides, after playing back-to-back games in a row, you should be tired too, right? "

Indeed, although he is still very young, back-to-back matches are indeed too exhausting for his body. Zhang Jinshui feels that his shoulders and waist are very tired.

Zhang Jinshui nodded with a smile, followed Zi Chunlin and Zi Qiuli to the parking lot.

......

An hour later, after returning home, Zhang Jinshui ate a hamburger and washed himself, threw himself on the bed, and summoned the player growth system with his mind.

He can't wait to see what kind of one-time consumable items the system will reward him.
