NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Throughout the second quarter, the Rockets fell into a short trough in the middle, but soon relied on Yao Ming's strong performance to stabilize the situation.

Yao Ming was perfect throughout the second quarter, scoring 12 points with 5 of 5 shots and two free throws.

Yao Ming, who scored 20 points in the first half, completely opened his arsenal and was about to start the harvesting mode.

Although tired, Tang Yu could still see the fighting spirit in Yao Ming's eyes, which was really determined.

Harden said to Yao Ming: "I will continue to pass the ball to your Yao Ming!"

"Okay, I will put the ball into the basket."

The requirements for Yao Ming's passing are actually very high. Due to his height, he cannot lower his body to receive the ball, which requires a lot from Harden, the passer.

All the players were communicating seriously, and 18 Card and Yi Jianlian mainly communicated with Curry in the pick-and-roll.

Stevens looked at Tang Yu with an inquiring look, and Tang Yu shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to say.

"Okay guys, we played well in the first half. We need their inside line to be not scary. On the defensive end, the point guard can give up Rondo on the outside to help defend the opponent, but Ray Allen's defender must stay with him. I don't want to see this guy have an open shot again."

These are the team problems recorded by Stevens in the first half, but it's not all the players' fault. Sometimes players will analyze the situation on the court, but there will always be a time when the devil is one foot taller!

Tang Yu saw Beverly sitting in front of his locker without saying a word, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

The next words of Hei Bei almost made Tang Yu fall.

"I'm thinking about how to irritate the opponent. If we can make the opponent's point guard go off the court, we will be very relaxed!"

Tang Yu smiled and said, "Patrick, you have performed well. You have completed the task on the court. Just play the way you are now."

Pat Beverly's shoulder, telling him not to pursue perfection too much.

Beverly also nodded. He just wanted to help the team better on the court.

After 15 minutes, the third quarter of the game started.

Perkins, who was in foul trouble, returned to the court again. His playing time tonight was broken into pieces.

The fouls of both teams continued, and the game was very intense.

Battier of the Rockets also got three fouls, and Curry also got three fouls. Harden and Ibaka both had two fouls.

Perkins and Ray Allen of the Celtics had three fouls, and Pierce, Rondo and Garnett all had two fouls.

Tang Yu replaced Battier with Carter after only two minutes of the third quarter.

At 9 minutes and 38 seconds in the third quarter, Dayao took the ball in the low post and called Perkins again. After continuous back-to-back, the Celtics' defense immediately shrank. Garnett and Pierce both surrounded Dayao in the middle.

However, Dayao did not take the three-man double-team seriously at all. He turned around and came to the basket.

Pierce's cut missed, and Perkins dared not move. Dayao raised the ball and split Huashan with one arm under the basket.

"Roar!" With Yao Ming's roar, the basketball was dunked into the basket.

Pierce quickly used his personal ability to make a mid-range shot to help the Celtics stabilize the situation.

At 7 minutes and 13 seconds in the third quarter, the Rockets replaced Yi Jianlian and Beverly, with Yao Ming and Harden leading the team.

The attack point of this lineup is clear, that is, the interaction between Yao Ming and Harden who performed well today.

Harden chose to call a pick-and-roll in the face of Tony Allen's defense, but Tony Allen was obviously young. He wanted to squeeze past Yao Ming, and his fate was doomed when he stretched out his hand.

Harden raised his hand and made a three-pointer. The whistle sounded directly, and it was a three-point foul. Tony Allen was still too young.

Pierce then failed to score against Yi Jianlian. Fortunately, the Celtics returned to defense in time, and the Rockets failed to make an offensive and defensive transition.

Harden and Yao Ming picked and rolled again. This time Tony Allen didn't dare to grab it again, so he could only go around from behind. Garnett also defended. Harden's three-point ability still made him afraid.

Yao Ming quickly passed down, Harden called Garnett, and then changed his body and slammed him down. Garnett thought Harden was going to take a double step back, so he rushed over.

But Harden paused and broke through directly to his right. Garnett's pace was naturally unable to keep up with the young Harden at this age.

Tony Allen and Pierce both came to help defend, Harden easily threw the ball to the basket defense line, and Yao Ming jumped up lightly to finish the dunk!

He ignited the Rockets' home court with a dunk again.

The score came to 75-57, and the Rockets, who scored five points in a row, had a tendency to take the game away.

The Celtics called a timeout, but this did not stop their decline.

After the timeout, the Celtics' offense still seemed to be struggling, while the Rockets continued to widen the gap with the cheers of the home fans.

Harden first scored a three-pointer against Ray Allen, and then passed Yao Ming's inside line.Attracting the defense, A-Lian also got a chance outside the three-point line.

In the next few minutes, the Rockets once again played an offensive climax, and a 16-5 offensive climax has pulled the difference between the two teams to nearly 30 points.

Seeing that the general situation was gone, the Celtics players became more and more impatient.

At the end of the third quarter, Curry brought the substitute players to the court, and Beverly finally ignited the anger of Coach Rondo as he wished.

The young black Bay still used small movements to constantly provoke the defense when defending Coach Rondo.

Coach Rondo hit Black Bay's ribs with an iron elbow when he turned his back.

"Ah!~" Beverly squatted on the ground in pain with a scream.

The whistle sounded immediately, indicating an offensive foul.

"Rocket Boxing Champion" 18 Card immediately stepped forward to stand up for his brother, and Perkins was not a good person either, and immediately blocked in front of Rondo.

"Fuck, you black guy who can't afford to lose! Don't hide behind others, you should stand up and apologize." 18 Card pointed at Coach Rondo and sprayed.

Beverley also stood up at this time and immediately went to Rondo to ask for an explanation.

"Bitch, I'm going to beat the shit out of you. Can you only stand behind your man?"

Beverley's curse was even more unpleasant. There was a lot of booing at the scene, and the fans were also blasting Rondo, which made Rondo almost out of control. He pushed the referee who was holding him away and rushed to hit Beverley.

Beverley was also eager to try. The security had already entered the court and the players on both sides were pulled apart.

In the end, the referee watched the video and gave Rondo a technical foul, calming down this small conflict.

The game was completely spent at the end of the third quarter, and the difference between the two teams was fixed at 30 points at 92-62.

It can only be said that the Rockets' score was normal, and the Celtics' score was also normal.

The fourth quarter was completely reduced to garbage time. Carter and Harden played with the substitutes for a while and were replaced by Tang Yu one after another.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Celtics 114-92 and got off to a good start.
