Chapter 155 (150) Yao Ming's Heart Knot

Yao Ming Wai and Nei Gang are players with great fighting spirit, but he can still hide his fighting spirit under a peaceful appearance in most cases.Only O'Neal and Stoudemire can arouse his competitive spirit in the entire league.

Stoudemire was the opponent at the same level who almost snatched Yao Ming's best rookie. In the selection of this year's best team, he beat Yao Ming to be selected to the second team.Yao Ming refused to accept it, and wanted to justify his name by defeating his opponent in this series.

"Don't lose the jump ball to him!" At this moment, he secretly made up his mind.

But Stoudemire's jumping is much better than him. Although Yao Ming is tall, his wingspan is only 221cm, which is not ranked in the league.Stoudemire got the ball first.

Billups came out of the hole, grabbed the ball among the three players of the Suns, and he went to the basket for a layup.The Suns hadn't realized that the Rockets had already scored.

"Good shot, great grab!" Jefferson gave Chauncey a thumbs up.

It was too late for the Suns to launch their fast break, and the Rockets players were already in place.Jim Jackson made a brave two-step shot and scored 2:2.The Suns home fans cheered.

The Rockets lobped the ball to Yao Ming for a single, and Yao Ming passed Stoudemire with subtle steps and scored an easy layup.

The Suns moved to the frontcourt and Jackson seemed to be confident in his throw, but unfortunately he missed.But Richardson alertly grabbed the offensive rebound.The two sides have played 4 rounds, and the game only lasted 50 seconds!The fast-paced two teams are obviously going to compete for speed.

The mustache D'Antoni couldn't help laughing, the team that played fast break with the Suns really dug their own grave.

Yuan Fei couldn't help laughing, how dare you compete with us in speed just because of your Sun's bench?When your main force is tired, it will be the world of rockets.

Nash rushed inside and accurately found Marion outside the three-point line, but he didn't dare to make a shot. Instead, he took two steps and chose to throw a shot, but he missed the shot.The Rockets handed over to Yao Ming again, and he turned around and missed a jumper.

After a few rounds, the two sides fought inextricably. Jefferson and McGrady had a height advantage against Jackson and Richardson. It was difficult for the Suns to shoot three-pointers from the outside.And Marion is not very accurate, nor is he very confident in long-range shots.And Stoudemire didn't take advantage of playing Yao Ming in the paint. Today, he also felt mediocre and missed two mid-range shots. At 12:14, the Suns took a slight lead. Seeing that there was not much time left in the first quarter, D'Antoni replaced the core Nash to let him rest.

"Okay, here's the opportunity!" Tang Shuai also made adjustments, and Pulzbila, Turkoglu and Parker appeared on the stage.He hopes to overtake the score with a new force.

As Yuan Fei analyzed, the strength of the Suns dropped to a very low level as soon as Nash rested.McGrady missed the shot but Dapu got stuck and made a tip-up, 14 draws!
The Suns didn't have much organization, and Marion hit the iron with a jumper.Turkoglu made a mid-range shot and the Rockets overtook at 16:14!

Jackson, who has an excellent touch, made a breakthrough layup and equalized for the Suns.But McGrady immediately returned a breakthrough, not only succeeded in a layup, but also caused a foul and scored 2+1.Jackson missed another shot, and Parker grabbed the rebound and rushed straight up. Barbosa and Richardson tried to form a two-person pinch, but Parker instead used Richardson as a pawn to bypass Barbosa.As a result, he sprinted in front and the two pursued behind. Stoudemire also stepped forward to form a final interception. Parker took off lightly and succeeded in a layup surrounded by the three.

"Great, great! This little French sports car is full of fuel today!" Barkley couldn't help but praised: "I think Billups' starting position is very dangerous."

"Tomjanovich's substitutions were effective immediately. Only a minute or so after the timeout, the three substitutes all scored." Kenny Smith analyzed this issue from another angle.

Nash immediately went into battle again. He only rested for a minute but couldn't sit still.The Suns without Nash can only make Jackson play singles indiscriminately.

But Marion made another pass error. McGrady made a three-pointer after stealing the ball, and the point difference widened to 24 points at 16:8!
In the end, the Rockets ended the first quarter with a 30:20 lead. Yao Ming, Billups and others stood up and applauded their teammates.It's just that Yao Ming's face was slightly silent, after all, he still lost by 2 points when he was on the court.

"Yao, you need to rest a little bit more today." Tang Shuai seemed to see his heart disease, and comforted him: "You have to accumulate enough strength to run with the rhythm of the sun. You have to trust your substitute and your teammates to stabilize the situation. I will send you at the critical moment."

Yao Ming was very sensible, nodded and said nothing.

But the next game made him a little restless, Stoudemire started the crazy scoring mode, and neither Przybilla nor Wang Zhizhi could stop him from scoring.However, the young Varejao had a successful defense as soon as he came on the court. As soon as Stoudemire exerted his strength, he collapsed and made an offensive foul by Stoudemire.But acting skills alone cannot cope with Stoudemire's madness. He scored 16 points in most of the quarter.

"Coach, shouldn't it be time for me to play?" Yao Ming was a little anxious, usually he would never take the initiative to urge Lao Tang.

"Well, it's almost done. I'll let you hit another ball." Tang Shuai's expression was indifferent, as steady as Mount Tai.

Billups hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from McGrady, widening the point difference to 6 points again.

Nash immediately made a wonderful pass to Stoudemire. The latter took off in the three-second zone and had physical contact with Varejao. The referee did not call a foul.Stoudemire made a folded body in the air to re-strengthen, barely hit the ball, and the ball scored 51:47.

"Okay, you go!" Tang Shuai asked for a substitution.

Sure enough, Yao Ming's performance was remarkable. The energetic little giant completely dominated the three-second zone, and Stoudemire failed to get a chance to make a move.In the remaining one and a half minutes, only Nash made a goal for the Sun, and the Rockets ended the first half with 55:49.

"Do you want me to play more in the third quarter? I am in good physical condition now." Yao Ming felt itchy and took the initiative to challenge again.

"Well, Tracy and the Suns scored against Biao in the first half. It's time for Yao to play more in the second half." Tang Shuai nodded: "Tracey took a break in the third quarter and played offense around Yao and Chauncey."

At this time, no one thought that this decision was a turning point in the game.

In the third quarter, Stoudemire made a layup and fouled Yao Ming and made 2 free throws.

Bosh missed a mid-range shot, and Yao Ming still didn't make a tip-up.The Suns launched a quick counterattack, and Marion assisted Jackson to hit a three-pointer, only 55 point away at 54:1.The atmosphere at the Suns' home court began to warm up. The sharp offense that fans are familiar with is back, and the precise shooting is also back.

Billups wanted to pass the ball to Yao Ming, but the intention of passing the ball was too obvious and was touched by Nash. The Suns intercepted the ball and launched a quick counterattack, forming a three-for-two frontcourt.Nash and Stoudemire made a cross-run, attracted the defense and gave the ball to Stoudemire. Chauncey lost his position and had no time to make up. Only Bosh went up to meet him, and Stoudemire dunked successfully!Bosh had no choice but was almost called a foul, and the Suns took the lead.

"Damn it!" Yao Ming became more and more anxious.
