Chapter 459 [The cap is like an uncle, and the explosion is like a grandson]

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 04-05 season, the pick-and-roll of the Rockets' Yao-Mai combination was not unreasonable, and it was also a killer with huge lethality. Yao Ming was able to block people, but his speed was not fast enough.Later, McGrady became slower and slower due to injuries. He often made jump shots after blocking, and the hit rate was still low. Van Gundy began to ask Yao Ming to play more low-position balls.

Now, Yang Rui appreciates Yao Ming's flexibility, and he doesn't need him to gain weight to show toughness.

The Knicks attacked, Marbury and Kurt Thomas played pick-and-rolls in the middle, and the Lakers shrank, and he plunged into the crowd.

Marbury scored the ball from the outside to Tim Thomas, who made a three-pointer from the left bottom corner. Yao Ming didn't prevent him from leaving the penalty area. He just glanced at him and turned around to grab a rebound.Thomas missed an open shot, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and handed it to Jones.

Many people think that Yao Ming's rebounding ability is not strong, and he only averaged 10.8 per game at his peak.In fact, Yao Ming just didn't meet a good coach. The Rockets' rhythm was too slow, the number of rounds was small, and his teammates did not cooperate to grab rebounds.

Now, Yao Ming has the opportunity to become a rebounder.Pau Gasol, who never averaged double figures in rebounds for the Grizzlies, has averaged double figures in rebounds for three consecutive years with the Lakers. After joining the Bulls, he even peaked at the age of 35, averaging 11.8 per game.

Has Gasol's rebounding ability improved significantly for the Lakers?Actually no, it's just the team's tactics that made his stats improve.With the Lakers, he averaged 3 offensive rebounds per game for three consecutive seasons.

Yao Ming is now following Yang Rui's arrangement. Regardless of shooting outside, he will stand near the penalty area to grab rebounds and block shots.On the offensive end, Yao Ming actively cut and grabbed offensive rebounds.

Kobe and Yao Ming played pick-and-roll again, and Ben Wallace was in a dilemma. If he didn't change the defense, Kobe could easily break through.

Big Ben blocked Bryant, making it impossible for him to make a pull-up jumper. Bryant also attracted the "madman" to chase and pass the ball to the middle.Yao Ming received the ball from the three-point line, and shot with his toes raised, Daben then threw out and blocked the shot a beat slower.

After Yao Ming's training camp opened, he had to practice [-] three-pointers from the middle every day. He was well prepared, shot at a perfect rhythm, and entered the net hollow!
11 to 5, Yao Ming made 5 of 5 shots in the opening game and was in a brave state.After scoring the goal, he clenched his fist and returned to defense with a blank expression.

Marbury didn't care about any tactics after halftime. He pulled up against Jones and made a three-pointer. It was too easy and missed.The Rashidka people made Daben unable to rush, Yao Ming judged the direction of the ball popping out correctly, and easily won the backcourt rebounds by relying on his height.

In the frontcourt, Yao Ming and Kobe picked and rolled, Kobe broke through with the ball, opened the distance, and Yao Ming made an empty cut.

Big Ben was led to the bottom line by Kobe. When he turned his head and saw Yao Ming making an empty cut, he couldn't stop it. Yao Ming squeezed the "madman" to catch the ball, jumped up in one step, and smashed the ball with both hands. 13 to 5.

After the dunk, Yao Ming clenched his fists and shouted, venting his grievances.At the Knicks' home court, it wasn't just who took the lead in shouting "OK", the audience set off thunderous applause, and it didn't stop for a long time.

Barkley said with a smile: "In the third year of entering the league, Yao Ming is probably the first time he heard such cheers at Madison Square. The interesting thing is that he is no longer a Knicks person."

Smith said: "Medvedenko and Rush were just backups in the Knicks. Larry Brown gave the Lakers an All-Star for nothing. After this game, I bet Jerry will thank him in the press conference."

Brown was helpless on the sidelines, using the zone defense to limit Yao Ming from storming the basket.But Rasheed and Kobe are not afraid of this.

At this time, Tim Thomas hit a three-pointer in the corner, and the audience only got sporadic applause.

13 to 8, the Lakers have turned the tables.

Kobe's emotional intelligence was very low and his ball intelligence was very high. He helped Yao Ming to create opportunities again and again.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe's paranoid personality and style of play in the later stages of his career led many people to think that his game quotient was not high.In fact, when Kobe Bryant was at his peak, his ability to understand and read the game was higher than most players, and he was also willing to create opportunities for his teammates, as evidenced by his average of around 5 assists per game all year round.

Would you believe it if Kobe was said to be mentally retarded with no basketball quotient?The mentally handicapped has five championships. Chris Paul, who is recognized as having a high IQ, has never even made it to the conference finals. Isn't the reality too cruel?
If you pass the ball, it's sunny, not a joke.

The Knicks attacked, Sprewell broke the ball, Kurt Thomas made a high jumper, and the ball was scored under the slight interference of Hoiberg. 13 to 10.

In the Lakers positional battle, Kobe and Yao Ming dribbled the ball to the left after a pick-and-roll, waiting for Yao Mingkong to cut to the low position and ask for the ball with his back, and hoisted the ball over.

Yao Ming took the ball and took advantage of the opportunity to take a big step towards the middle and turned around, holding the ball in both hands, and Ben Wallace, who was hit a few times in a row, flew up.Yao Ming saw that the time difference was getting stronger, hit Big Ben and threw the ball with one hand, the referee whistled, 2+1.

Big Ben knew that he was going to be fouled when he jumped in the air, and he couldn't stop Yao Ming from scoring a goal by pulling people hard. He had a soft touch that didn't match his body shape.

Yao Ming's free throws are also very stable, and he hits additional free throws. 16 to 10, swept all the Lakers' opening points.

The Knicks attacked. Big Ben also made an empty cut after the pick-and-roll. Marbury failed to make a mid-range shot. Big Ben rushed to grab an offensive rebound. He feinted twice against Yao Ming under the basket and jumped up to shoot. Wanting to return one, Yao Ming slapped him out.

After being scored consecutively by his "little brother" last season, Big Ben was a little overheated, and this choice was to give caps.Yao Ming is close behind and waits for Big Ben to take off before jumping. He can defend by relying on his height advantage. This is what he is best at.

Sprewell picked up the basketball and made a quick shot from the left, but he still didn't score.

Yao Ming saw the ball bounce to the other side, instead of rebounding, he went straight to the fast break.Rasheed grabbed the rebound for Jones, who then looked for Kobe.

Kobe got the ball quickly, took the ball and brought it to the bottom line, attracted the defense, turned around and passed it to Yao Ming, who followed up in the middle.

Da Ben was next to Yao Ming, but he was too short to stop the ball. Yao Ming took three steps and dunked with both hands across Ben Wallace.

Big Ben jumped very high, blocked the cover with one hand, and the two had physical contact. Big Ben put Yao Minglian to the ground with the ball, but the referee blew the whistle, which was an obvious thug foul.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Big Ben was like a duck to water in the Pistons system. Although the data was smashed by the stars every year, most people said that he was very defensive, only because of his explosive head and blocked shots.

Big Ben Guy O'Neal can blow for a lifetime at a time, but O'Neal dunks on his head countless times.

Big Ben was amazing when he was helping to block shots and acted like an uncle.In fact, let alone Duncan, Yao Ming, Shaquille O'Neal, Nowitzki, Stoudamire, etc., even against Randolph, Boozer, Al Jefferson, who are called brushes, Big Ben is also often bombed like a grandson.

This game was broadcast live on dozens of radio stations around the world, and the weakness of the big single defense was completely exposed.

Barkley said unceremoniously: "Judging from today's performance, how much Yao Ming is underestimated, how much Ben Wallace is overestimated, a blue-collar like him is the star game starter, Yao Ming can only be in the Knicks. Substitute, it's ridiculous."

Yao Ming made two free throws, 18-10.

This was Big Ben's second offense, and Larry Brown finally requested a timeout.

In the center battle, Yao Ming won!
