Chapter 145 (140) Yao Ming Waking Up
The game is on!Yao Ming accidentally lost to Dampier with a jump ball. The Mavericks' first offense was handed over to Josh Howard, who missed a jumper.

"We still have difficulty on the defensive end. The Mavericks have too many scoring points. Nowitzki, Howard, Terry, Stadhouse, and Finley are all people who can score more than 20 points with the ball." Assistant coach Smith pointed out the problem.

"Not only that, Cuban went all out in February for the high-salary and low-powered Van Horn. Although his strength is not as good as his peak, he used to be the master who averaged 2+21 per game after all. A substitute is always more than enough." Yuan Fei said: "And their backup point guard Harris is also very capable. The Mavericks' seven offensive points are all very threatening."

"But when it comes to people who can score, our Rockets have a lot." Tang Shuai smiled.

McGrady broke through and was surrounded by many people, and finally lost the ball. This steal was recorded in Dampier's account.Nowitzki missed a step-back jumper under Bosh's defense, but Dampier beat Yao Ming to grab the rebound, and Finley missed it!Dampier jumped up again and reached out to poke it, make up!

"Yao, what are you doing!" Da Zhi on the bench couldn't stand it anymore.

Billups made a breakthrough, handed over to Bosh at the free throw line, and made a jumper!This is the Rockets' set of tactics.But Nowitzki pounced forward, slapped a big hat, and the Mavericks defended again.

This time it was still handed over to Howard to attack, Dampier put up the screen and Yao Ming did not follow out.Howard broke through easily, attracted McGrady's supplementary defense and then gave Finley an open outside line. He hit a three-pointer, 0:5!

"Yao, cheer up!" Even Jefferson couldn't stand it anymore.

"Give me the ball!" McGrady suddenly asked for the ball in the midfield position. He dribbled the ball and raised two fingers to indicate tactics.

Bosh Chauncey pulled away one after another, and McGrady forced a breakthrough to a relatively deep position and then went straight to the penalty area.Yao Ming got the ball in a good position, turned around and dunked easily!

"Good shot!" Yuan Fei burst into excitement.Not just a good offense, it reflects McGrady's big picture and leadership.He is not only thinking about how to score, but also thinking about mobilizing his teammates who are not in good shape.

Sure enough, the effect brought by this ball was like breaking through the bottleneck, and Yao Ming's self-confidence was immediately boosted.Although he has a bad touch and misses consecutive shots, he can always contribute in other ways.

McGrady missed a jumper and Yao Ming grabbed an offensive rebound.

Billups missed a three-pointer and Yao Ming grabbed an offensive rebound.

Terry forced a breakthrough, but it was difficult to make a shot under Yao Ming's deterrence, so he had to hand it over to the outside line.

"Dayao woke up." The bus off the field also praised.

Yao Ming finally began to comprehend what Yuan Fei said, that a center may not need to score many points to dominate the court.The ability of a center that can never be replaced is not scoring, but protecting the frame.Under the pressure of the little giant, the Mavericks had difficulty forming a threatening breakthrough, so they could only float outside and try to shoot.And Jefferson, McGrady and Chauncey's defense was good. Howard, Finley and Stackhouse kept hitting the iron, and Yao Ming kept grabbing rebounds.After the first quarter, the Rockets' rebounds beat their opponents 15 to 7, but they overtook them by 26 points 16:10.

The second quarter belonged to McGrady. He made a strong three-pointer on the first goal, and Stackhouse had nothing to do about it.

Of course Nowitzki refused to accept it. He just scored a career-high 53 points on the Rockets this season!He stretched out his long arm to ask for the ball, but unfortunately the pass was a bit too strong and he didn't catch it well.Billups came out of the hole and cut the ball off with one palm.McGrady knew by heart that he had already crossed the center line, and Chauncey's long pass was in place.McGrady actually played a bold game, throwing the ball and hitting the board for dunks!

Even the fans at the American Airlines Center couldn't help applauding McGrady.Even though the home team is 15 points behind, a strike is a strike!The Dallas people have the temperament of their Cuban boss, love the team, but also respect the opponent!As long as you are a true fan, you have to applaud the good ball!
Nowitzki held the ball in a high position and assisted Stackhouse to hit a three-pointer from the outside!

Billups broke back to high Bosh jumper succeeded, 33:19.

Harris carefully controlled the ball, his eyes fixed on Billups.This guy is an All-Star point guard, and as a rookie, it's impossible not to be afraid.

"Be careful, Devon!" Finley suddenly rushed to him and reminded loudly.

Instinctively, Harris hugged the ball instantly, and McGrady suddenly appeared from the other side out of his field of vision, forming a double-team with Chauncey.

Harris had difficulty getting the ball out, and the Mavericks were forced out of a timeout.

"Terrifying McGrady, he is everywhere on both offense and defense." Harris was terrified.

Pulzbila assisted McGrady to hit a three-pointer, and the point difference widened to 46:30.The general was forced to call another timeout.The Rockets also made moves this time, with Yao Ming and Da Zhi coming on as substitutes.

Needless to say, Dazhi's shooting skills, his role in playing is to open up more space for the three-second zone.This time Yao Ming played more relaxed and comfortable, and took off the offensive rebound, which caused a foul by Van Horn and made 2 of 2 free throws.

Van Horn is also of the same type as Big Zhi. He is tall and accurate for three-pointers, but his defensive speed and confrontation are lacking.He was selected second only to Duncan that year, and he played at a good level in the early days, but his athletic ability became worse and worse as he got older.Once hailed as "Bird's successor", he can't keep up with the speed of playing small forwards, and can only be used as a power forward with relatively soft defense.

Faced with this kind of opponent, Da Zhi also dared to fight. He caught the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left wing and was about to shoot. Van Horn suddenly rushed forward.Da Zhi suddenly withdrew his hand and made a breakthrough with the dribble. Only Dampier was left inside, and he could only bite the bullet and make up for it.Dazhi suddenly leaned forward to make a breakthrough, but he pulled the ball from his right hand to his left. Dampier was hesitant to take care of Yao Ming behind him, and this distraction immediately lost his defensive focus.

Wang Zhizhi broke through the two successively and dunked successfully!The audience applauded again in the American Airlines Arena.

"Dallas fans, thank you for supporting me. Now I will repay you with the best basketball!" Da Zhi said heartily.

Yao Ming gave a thumbs up silently.

At the end of the first half, the Rockets had a 59:40 lead.

The young general Johnson was also courageous, and decisively adjusted his tactics in the second half, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, he went to the tigers, and strengthened the inside breakthrough.The purpose is to beat Yao Ming who has made more fouls.

However, due to too much digging in the first half, although the Mavericks tried their best to chase points in the third quarter, they still failed to narrow the point difference to less than 10 points.

102:86，火箭客场大胜小牛。麦迪27投14中砍下34+5+6，姚明只打了20分钟得到了11+8，最后一节他6犯离场。可赢了球，谁还会在乎呢？

　Some updates will be added next month, and it is tentatively scheduled to add one update every weekend. If there are more book friends who support me, I will continue to add more.

　　It was very difficult to choose the subject matter of this book, and I had to check a lot of information for each chapter, so I wrote it slowly.Book friends may not read it as easily as other similar novels.The next book I will write is lighter and more interesting.
