Chapter 50 (49) Tathagata Palm

The game for the next period of time is basically in the rhythm of the Rockets.Was upset by the Grizzlies and played a wave of 4 consecutive victories. Lost to the Kings by 5 points, and played another wave of 5 consecutive victories.Then lost another game to the old rival Spurs by 3 points.In short, the Rockets have a good rhythm and still firmly hold the number one throne in the league.

The January competition is over.Probably due to the rest of the "hip tension", McGrady won the best player of the month in the Western Conference for 1 months, and was finally taken away by Garnett.But for McGrady, who is enjoying the joy of basketball at this time, he doesn't care at all.

Tracy McGrady and other Rockets players are concerned about how to avoid a losing streak just after losing, but the next opponent is the Lakers who are waiting for O'Neal to come back.Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other, this is bound to be another fierce battle.

On February 2, the Rockets played at home against the Lakers led by the Big Three (Malone still failed to play).As soon as the two sides started to play, the Toyota Center Arena was filled with a tense atmosphere, but O'Neal laughed and came forward to shake hands with Yao Ming.

"Yao, you are going to start again in this All-Star game, and I am still your substitute. I am really envious of the 12 billion (refer to the census data at the time) Chinese fans behind you." O'Neal smiled.

Yao Ming felt a little embarrassed, and said, "I dare not do it, this is all the preference of the people of my motherland."

"However, you are different from last year. You have indeed grown into a first-line center in the league. I will not be polite anymore, and I will do my best." O'Neal put away his smile and said seriously.

"I also ask for your advice." Dayao was not polite.

On the other side, McGrady and Kobe have a close personal relationship, but they refuse to give in to each other on the court.The two didn't exchange greetings, but just looked at each other for a few seconds, with strong hostility.

After losing the last match, the entire Lakers team was suffocated.Zen master, the old fox, naturally has plans.At the beginning of this game, he made a strange move, focusing on Medvedenko.It's a pity that the iron was hit on the first goal. McGrady on the Rockets side insisted on the last time they played against the Lakers-revitalize the team.He assisted Turkoglu for a three-pointer.

"Kobe, keep an eye on your man!" Phil Jackson shouted angrily.Kobe is just too competitive, and he really wants to have a showdown with McGrady.As soon as McGrady attracted him, he stepped forward to double-team and missed Turkoglu.

Immediately afterwards, O'Neal succeeded in singles against Yao Ming, and Billups, who was trying to steal the ball, was knocked to the ground by him, but the referee did not call a foul.After Chauncey fell to the ground with a painful expression, Tang Shuai hurriedly replaced Reid.

Yao Ming really wanted to return the ball to O'Neill, but today O'Neal was very active in defense.Dayao barely missed a hook shot, and Payton got the ball and advanced quickly, returning to Medveden for a successful mid-range shot. 4:3 The Lakers overtook the score.

The Rockets showed no sign of weakness, and Reed assisted Yao Ming for a dunk.

O'Neal once again singled Yao Ming with the ball, attracted Okur to double-team and then gave the ball to the open Fox, who made a jumper, 6:5.

McGrady assisted Reed to score 2 points with a jumper, and Kobe immediately assisted Payton to hit a three-pointer. The scores of the two sides rose alternately in just 9 minutes at 7:4.

McGrady hit the iron with a jumper, and Medvedenko also missed a jumper.The Rockets handed the ball to Yao Ming, who got a cap from O'Neal in singles.But Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately passed it to McGrady on the outside. McGrady took advantage of the chaos of the Lakers defense and broke through Fox's defense.Yao Ming scored a dunk and tied 9:9!
The audience held their breath for a long time, and finally burst into thunderous applause.This game was really exciting, and this goal was too exciting.O'Neal's big cap, Yao Ming's rebound, Tracy McGrady's breakthrough and pass, in this ball embodies the skill of the star.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the hit rate was not high, and the score came to 15:16.With less than 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Tang Shuai waved his hand, and Battle Wallace came on, replacing Yao Ming Turkoglu.

O'Neill was taken aback when he saw Battelle, who is this big man?I haven't played with him much, so I'm not familiar with him.Although I heard that the Houston Rockets have three Chinese, the Lakers are generally more familiar with Yao and Wang (in the official history, Battelle and O'Neal only played against each other in the NBA, and it was this match that was talked about by Chinese fans).

Battelle is indeed ready to play. Tang Shuai said before that Dameng will take a break, and the coach will prepare to play against the league's top center O'Neal.

Payton steals Wallace for a layup, 17:16.

McGrady assisted Wallace and added 2 points for a layup. At 17:18 McGrady had already sent his fifth assist!

Payton held the ball steadily and waited for O'Neal to slowly run over and fall into position. Battelle immediately went up to resist O'Neal.But Grant, who came from the Lakers' bench, keenly observed the opportunity. He held Okur and slowly retracted his strength, as if being pushed away by Okur, and moved to a position close to Battelle.

O'Neal took advantage of the opportunity to start, but Battelle wanted to keep up but was blocked by the seasoned Grant. The league's top point guard Payton naturally would not let this opportunity go, and the ball was already in O'Pang's hands.Battelle was one position behind, and O'Neal had no defense in front of him, only the basket, and it looked like a shark's signature dunk!
With a loud bang, O'Neill fell to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle and Batela made a foul.

In the TNT studio, the commentator Barkley was stunned and had nothing to say for a while.

"This... how did that Chinese player Monk bring down O'Neal? Let's take a closer look at the slow-motion replay!"

The slow motion clearly showed that Battelle, seeing that he couldn't catch up with O'Pang, put his right palm on the latter's right shoulder and pulled it violently. O'Neal, who was jumping and dunking, was instantly pulled to the ground by strange force.The dedicated O'Neal didn't forget to turn the dunk into a jump shot and threw the ball out, which made a beautiful shot.And the honest bus even reached out to ask Rao'Neal to get up.

"That's right! The Sharks, who were called the most powerful in the league along with Big Ben, were knocked down by an unknown backup center!" Barkley reacted, and began to explain endlessly: "It's really amazing! O'Neal, known as a strong man who can easily dunk with two defensive players on his body, was actually deflated by an unknown center."

CCTV in China also broadcast the game. Needless to say, the Rockets are the home team of Chinese fans.The Lakers are also one of the favorite teams of Chinese fans.At this moment, CCTV's commentator Sun Zhengping was also very shocked, but his commentary was more nonsense. "Battelle's palm can be called the 'God's Palm of Tathagata'. Chinese fans can explain to their American friends that this is Chinese Kung Fu from the East."

O'Neal stood up and smiled awkwardly, and walked to the free throw line, but unfortunately missed the extra penalty.

(Small allusion: On November 2003, 11, when the Raptors challenged the Lakers in an away game, O'Neal used his teammates to cover an air cut to the basket and received a pass, but was fouled by Battelle who was behind him. This scene was magnified by Chinese fans and rendered as "Bashen beat O'Neal with one hand.")
第一节战罢，湖人25：27稍稍落后于火箭。奥尼尔5投4中得了8分，可惜奇兵梅德维登科拖了后腿，他7投1中仅得2分。火箭方面姚明被奥尼尔压制7投2中得到了4+4，麦迪打满12分钟砍下7+3+5，巴特尔贡献了1篮板1犯规和1个如来神掌的传奇故事。

　Writing this topic of basketball science requires repeated review of a large amount of information. I have watched this video of Bashen knocking down O'Neal more than ten times.My only expectation for this book is to strive for no bugs, and I would like to ask the book friends to help me point out the problems seriously, thank you very much.
