In the second quarter of the game, without Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming also needed to rest. Jeff Van Gundy could only rely on Xuan Ming and Mutombo to form an inside line with Juwan Howard.
Sixth man Derek Anderson, David Wesley and rookie Luther Hyde organize the perimeter.
McGrady's injury and Van Gundy's dislike of using rookies also gave Rutherhead many opportunities to perform.
Xuan Ming's two elder brothers, Derek Anderson and David Wesley, are the core players of the team.
Of course, it was before.
How could a good man not mention his past? How could he be known as a good man if he didn't mention his past?
Mutombo was also the boss or second boss when he was young.
Zhu Wanhua Hua Huo also served as the second or third boss.
David Wesley served as the second-in-command for the Hornets.
Derek Anderson has also had the experience of being second or third in charge.
In addition, rookie Luther Hyde is also one of the three outstanding players.
Their characteristics cannot be said to be similar. I can only say one word, that is, two.
Well, they have all been second in command.
On the Heat's side, Van Gundy lets Jason Williams, Wade, Haslem, Walker and Michael Doriak play.
When the Heat are leading, they still have to play half a dozen main cards. Van Gundy obviously does not give the Rockets a way to survive and wants to end the game as soon as possible.
He knew his brother's reputation as a genius.
The second quarter of the game started. After just a few rounds, Yao Ming's face looked a little ugly.
When he saw David Wesley pressing the shot clock to 20 seconds, Bang Bang Bang made two sudden moves and chose to pass the ball. Then seeing that the shot clock was running out, Derek Anderson casually threw the basketball toward the basket with a bang.
Yao Ming couldn't bear it anymore and shouted "Tamaat!".
After hearing this, the teammates next to me felt that the little giant from the East was so funny and they liked to eat it so much.
He actually wanted to eat "tomatoes" during a break in the game. Are all flower growers foodies?
In addition, Yao Ming also likes to treat them to that spicy hot pot. It is very refreshing when eating it. The spicyr it is, the harder it is to stop eating. It is just a temporary pleasure when eating it. Afterwards, the crematorium will be used. After a few days, the backside will be hot. …
No wonder Yao Ming is so popular.
The Rockets are 11 points behind. Instead of thinking of ways to attack, they are still consuming the attack time. They first think about how to defend?
David Wesley is too short, Mutombo is too old, Juwan Howard is too soft, Luther Head is too young, and Derek Anderson is too insignificant...
To be fair, the Rockets' lineup sounds like it has a very good reputation, but it's not the same on the court.
After all, they are "expired food" that other teams didn't want and the Rockets picked up for cheap and used it to tease Yao Ming.
Don't ask, just ask and you'll save money.
Just when Yao Ming thought that this game was about to be 'voted'.
Yao Ming was directly slapped in the face.
Jason Williams broke into the penalty area and was blocked by Mutombo for a layup.
The Heat used a pick-and-roll tactic, but Mutombo couldn't defend him at all. They also adopted a zone defense tactic and contracted to play...
Bang-dang——!
Fat Toutuo Walker was very unsatisfied and missed consecutive three-point shots.
Wade rushed in and, with Mutombo's interference, also struck.
Later, Wade tried to break through and hit the mid-range shot, but he still died.
It can be seen at a glance that the Rockets' rotation cannot guard the Heat.
As a result, Jeff Van Gundy relied on a poor lineup, spent a lot of effort on details, and actually played a strong defensive performance, shutting down the Heat's offense.
Offensively, the Rockets' offense doesn't seem to be hopeless.
David Wesley's three-pointer missed, but Mutombo grabbed the rebound under the basket, attacked slowly, and even made up the basket.
Juwan Howard's individual defense is a bit stretched, but he has a lot of things to do offensively. His precise mid-range shot is very stable and eye-catching.
In addition, David Wesley and Derek Anderson are both scoring masters in the substitute lineup...
Although the Rockets were lagging behind, they still took small steps and gradually followed the Heat, even kicking the Heat's butt.
This is Jeff Van Gundy's style!
Sometimes it feels like he is in trouble, but then, he breaks out inexplicably, and I feel like there is still hope.
Sometimes it feels like he's good, but he's always a little short of the mark.
Of course, Van Gundy's lower limit is still guaranteed.
Six minutes into the game, Stan Van Gundy saw the score approaching 4 points and immediately couldn't sit still.
Replace Wade with Su Bei.
On the Rockets' side, Jeff Van Gundy responded quickly and replaced Bowen and Yao Ming.
When Su Bei returned, his first three-point shot was solid.
The next game also entered a state of invisibility.
Some players can play their role as role players brilliantly in a strong team that is competing for the championship. When they go to a bad team and become the core, they immediately find that this person has no talent. He is able to play because the teammates around him are too strong and can attract Defense...
The current Subei is also in the same state. It seems very uncomfortable to play on the bench.
Subei had no tactical support, and was followed by Lain Bowen like a shadow, making him a deadbeat again.
Fortunately, the Rockets' offense did not explode because of Yao Ming's appearance.
Back to the state of life and death, after all, most of their energy is focused on defense.
Attacking something like this can only rely on luck.
If you are lucky, you can make any shot you want and you can't stop it even if you want to.
It's normal to have a hard time once or twice, but it's unrealistic to want it to last.
The Rockets don't have the physical capital, and they are not willing to practice. Drugs have a time limit, and it is impossible to last for a long time.
Therefore, although the Heat's Subei offense was not strong, the Heat gradually opened up the game by relying on poor competition.
With the score 57 to 50, the Heat took a 7-point lead and entered the locker room to rest.
After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, they came back for the second half of the game.
"Yao Ming pulled out and played a pick-and-roll with David Wesley.
This time, Yao Ming was very comfortable catching the ball. He raised his hand and hit a two-point jump shot...
You should play like this, hand the basketball to Yao Ming, and the offense will be simple.
Bang bang bang... break through inside and hit a crowd. Such an attack seems unreasonable.
The Heat themselves are a strong defensive team. How can they allow you to easily find opportunities to shoot? "
…
"It's Yao Ming again. He stuck Mourning in the low post, received Alston's lob, squeezed back twice, feinted a shot, turned around, made a move, dunked with both hands, and dunked...
Beautiful goal. Yao Ming plays very tough and smart. His skills and dribbling are among the best in the history of NBA centers.
Under the basket, the Heat's current inside line cannot stop Yao Ming's explosion. "
…
The third quarter of the game started, and Yao Ming was in hot form. He was able to catch and shoot jump shots after pick-and-rolls, as well as low-post singles shots, all of which were accurate.
Yao Ming is a threat when he catches the ball.
Next, Yao Ming played a super performance. Facing a double attack, he forced a layup. While scoring two points, he also got an extra penalty opportunity.
Subsequently, the Rockets could also take advantage of Yao Ming's offensive threat and pass the ball to him for support and organization. After being double-teamed, Yao Ming distributed the ball and Juwan Howard received the ball and attacked the basket, easily scoring two points.
The Heat's offense is also full of firepower.
Su Bei's three-pointer continued.
Aiming at Team Rocket's turtle shell, it's a blast of firepower.
When the Rockets expanded their defense, Wade began to break through the basket frequently...
It's hard to limit Wade's breakthrough just through zone defense.
Now the Rockets have to expand their defense and immediately receive the hardest blow.
"Wade broke into the penalty area, and Yao Ming used his body to cover the basket...
Wade's forced shot was still able to put the basketball into the basket. His body and talent are so abnormal! "
…
"Here it comes again, another breakthrough from Wade. The Rockets' perimeter defense is too poor to withstand it.
The Rockets' inside line was also unstoppable. Yao Ming was still a bit weak in confrontation and his speed was also a bit slow.
Wade drives to the basket, he jumps up and shoots... no, he passes.
In the bottom corner, Su Bei caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. He really dared to shoot despite Len Bowen's block.
In!
Su Bei's three-pointer is too hard
If you really dare to shoot, you really dare to score. The Rockets' defense was torn apart by three-pointers, and they didn't dare to let Su Bei continue to shoot from the outside..."
"Yao Ming just broke out and performed superbly, and now it's Su Bei's turn to steal the show offensively.
Dayao and Xiaosu, what is their offensive quality?
They are all key to deciding this game.
This is the real derby!
Yao Ming dances alone, which is not a real national derby.
I really hope that Su Bei can grow up. Now Su Bei's performance tonight is very amazing. It's just a pity that the Heat is now a team of O'Neal and Wade.
When Su Bei leads his team and the Rockets led by Yao Ming play together in the National Derby, then the game will be worth remembering and what the audience in front of the TV is looking forward to..."
On the court, Yao Ming continued to play, receiving a lob and a slam dunk from the basket, increasing his personal score by 31 points.
However, in terms of score, the Heat are still ahead.
"Yao Ming still broke out too early. Even if he broke out in the third quarter, he still couldn't help the Rockets overtake the score. There is probably no suspense about the outcome of this game, unless the Rockets have the ball and step up to act as a surprise player. Otherwise, Team Rocket will be in danger!"
"The Evil God"
The audience in front of the TV was confused. Why did Yao Ming burst out so unstoppably that he destroyed the Heat's defense? Shouldn't it be the Heat that were in danger in the end?
How could it be Team Rocket!
This unscientific?
Don't ask, the question is that Yao is not physically fit enough.
Sure enough, as the game entered the fourth quarter, Yao Ming's mid-range shots began to falter.
When he failed to hit consecutively, Yao Ming quickly became a spectator and ran back and forth on the court.
Most of his teammates choose to do it themselves instead of passing the ball to him.
Yao Ming tried his best to get stuck in the paint, and occasionally scored one or two, but it was painless.
Instead, there was a problem on defense, and the Heat chased and counterattacked.
Little Van Gundy was completely helpless about this.
Offensively, he relies on his stars.
McGrady averaged 39 minutes per game when he was with the Magic, but ended up playing about 41 minutes with the Rockets.
This difference of less than 2 minutes seems to be small and insignificant.
However, during his time with the Magic, McGrady was only responsible for offense and defense as he pleased.
When it comes to the Rockets, McGrady not only attacks, but also defends desperately...
Playing with this intensity, it would be difficult for McGrady not to get hurt.
The same is true for Yao Ming. He still needs to gain weight. Only if his physical strength can support him can he be successful.
However, when there are weight problems and offensive problems, Jeff Van Gundy still relies on stars to solve them!
There is no solution at all!
Now McGrady is down.
The Rockets only rely on Yao Ming's offense to support them, and it is obvious that they cannot withstand it.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up.
The score was 96 to 88. With an 8-point advantage, the Heat turned away and defeated the Rockets, giving them a 3-game losing streak.
Wade scored 29 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. His performance was all-around. He was still short of a triple-double.
Su Bei made 7 of 13 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. His performance was eye-catching, scoring 20+ for the first time, setting a personal career NBA record.
Yao Ming made 14 of 21 shots and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored 38 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal. He played a dominant inside performance, but he still couldn't lead the team to win.
Without the scoring champion Tracy McGrady, the Rockets' offense is broken, and there is no reinforcement on the outside. It's a damn thing if they can win.
