The Fifth Point Guard

"The Rockets played well in the first half, limiting Kidd and Shentong very well, thanks to the Rockets' energetic backcourt combination, Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley In the second half, if they can continue to maintain the restrictions on the Nets in the first half, they have home court advantage and they are likely to eat the Nets in the fourth quarter." Sun Zhengping expressed his opinion before the start of the second half.

Zhang Weiping held a different opinion: "In my opinion, the Rockets may be blown up in the second half."

Sun Zhengping asked in surprise, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Weiping said: "Look, Shentong scored 55 points in the last game, but this game only scored 8 points so far. What does that mean?"

"It shows that the Rockets' defense is pretty good."

Zhang Weiping replied: "Yes, but this is only one aspect. Shentong only took 5 shots and sent 6 assists in the first half, which shows that he was actually not too big when facing Mobley's defense. The reason why there was no crazy scoring in the first half was to help Jason Kidd do a good job in organizing the team, because Jason was under a lot of pressure when facing Steve. First keep the team on track, and then If you play individually, otherwise no matter how well you play alone, the rest of the team will not perform well and will not be able to give you enough support, and in the end it may be a busy game.”

In fact, Zhang Weiping was right.

It's just that Shentong's approach is largely due to the arrangement of head coach Byron Scott.

It's important to keep the team on the right track before the individual contributions stand out.

This is called personal and team rhythm synchronization.

Some players in the league are very strong in terms of personal ability, but the team's record is just not good.

why?

It's because his rhythm is not on the same beat as the rest of the team.

Some stars have their own style of play and need other players to cooperate, or the head coach to give corresponding tactical support.

This is why you will find that when some players change teams, their overall performance immediately drops several levels, because he does not match the rhythm of the new team, and the new team will not match his style of play. And tailoring tactics for him, there are actually quite a few players like this.

Of course, there are also players who performed mediocrely in the original team. After changing teams and becoming the core again, not only their personal level has risen rapidly, but the rhythm of other players and him are also very in tune, which has led to the improvement of the strength of the entire team. For example Steve Nash from the Dallas Mavericks to the Phoenix Suns.

After accumulating full energy in the first half, Shentong completed his first attack in the second half.

Faced with Mobley's defensive posture of sinking his focus and shooting anti-bursts, Shentong ignored the defense and shot a three-pointer directly from the outside.

Watching the ball fly into the basket with a blue halo of energy, Shen Tong even felt that even if he didn't use the spirit pill to shoot the ball, he could make the ball himself.

Use it just for double insurance.

After all, what I want to do is a wave, and I must directly deal a fatal blow!

Tomjanovich stood up from the bench and kept waving his arms in the air, signaling the players to start paying attention to Shen Tong's shots and double-team them if necessary.

Shentong's goal caused boos all over the sky.

After all, this is the home court of the Rockets. The more beautiful the goal, the more boos it receives.

Another Chinese player, Yao Ming, got the Rockets' first chance of the second half.

Receive the ball at the edge of the penalty area, turn your back to Mutombo, use your back to test the defensive player's position, make a fake turn, then lean back slightly, and throw the ball.

With a height of 2.26 meters, he uses the technical movements of a front-guard swinger. Even Uncle Mu is beyond his reach.

"swish"

The ball passed through the net hollowly, Yao Ming raised his arm and clenched his fist after scoring the goal.

In the first two games, Yao Ming was under such great pressure that it is unimaginable not to experience it personally.

Finally, in this much-anticipated Chinese Derby, Yao Ming began to show his worth. He surfaced in the fast-flowing river and took a deep breath.

Sometimes, people are like this. The more pressure you have, the easier it is to play badly.

In this case, you must have a strong enough heart to break this vicious circle, so that the situation will develop in a good direction.

Although Yao Ming's smile is comparable to that of Director Jin, his heart is strong enough.

50-51

After Shentong received the pass, the audience immediately rang out loud slogans.

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

Mobley is also close to the body, not giving Shentong the space to raise his hand to shoot the ball calmly.

Using the pick-and-roll, Shentong got rid of Mobley and rushed inside.

It is the little giant Yao Ming who is facing Shentong at this moment!

In this Chinese derby match, two Chinese players finally faced each other directly.

"Shen Tong, face Yao Ming directly!" Sun Zhengping, who had always been calm, was rarely excited.

"Shut him, cap him!" Zhang Weiping was even more excited, and he didn't know who he was cheering for.

Facing Yao Ming, Shentong started early and took the lead when there was still some distance.

When facing up against such a tall player, you must grasp the opportunity, otherwise once you enter their encirclement, it will be difficult to jump up again.

Shentong was in the air, catching the ball with one hand, aiming at the basket, and wanted to make a small throw.

Although Yao Ming's hands are short, that's only relative, and his wingspan of 2.20 meters is not imaginary.

Facing Shentong, Yao Ming raised his arms and slapped him with a roar!

The slap from the Chinese reminded Shen Tong of the five-finger magical skill that Sister Hua used when she was a child when her test scores were not satisfactory.

With a shock in the air, Shen Tong retracted his raised right hand, bowed his body, avoided Yao Ming's block, then straightened up, lifted the ball he was holding with one hand again, and gently put it into the basket basket.

"Oh, a beautiful dodge in the air to put the basket." Zhang Weiping immediately shouted, "This shot is really good, absolutely good."

Sun Zhengping quickly interjected, "Yao Ming's defense is not bad, but Shentong is obviously more prepared."

Seeing Shentong scoring the ball, Yao Ming clapped his hands in frustration and shook his head.

After scoring the goal, Shen Tong slapped Dayao's butt with a smile.

Yao Ming held the ball with both hands and went to the bottom line to serve. He was very surprised.

In the CBA, he has never seen such a flying defender.

No, maybe there is another one, although very short-sighted, but very good at flying.

Shentong's offensive has just begun.

Not long after, Shen Tong, who got the ball near the top of the arc, swayed Mobley away with a feint, and galloped into the Rockets penalty area like lightning. Before Yao Ming came over, he directly took off with the ball in both hands.

Swing your arms up, hold the ball behind your head with both hands, and your eyes are almost at the level of the basket when you dunk!

Yao Ming, who watched Shentong dunk with both hands up close, was stunned.

In his imagination, it is impossible for a yellow man with such abnormal physical fitness as Shen Tong to exist.

However, in reality, there is such a thing.

Yao Ming picked up the ball again and prepared to serve the baseline.

At this moment, he realized that the sky can also be the limit of Chinese and even Asians.

So, where is your limit?

Yao Ming sent the ball to Francis and ran up the field.

What others can do, I, Yao Ming, can do it too.

Don't set limits for yourself, that's my limit!
