After Yao Ming came up, the defensive intensity of the Rockets suddenly increased.

Maddy's breakthrough point work is very good, and the Rockets' strategy is clear, which is to let the Hawks role players shoot, but Korver has a bad hand today, and if he can't shoot, he can't shoot, and the Rockets only scored 4 points in the last four minutes of the second quarter like they dragged the Suns to death by rhythm, and the Rockets scored 7 points.

In the second quarter, relying on Liu Mang's 7 points and 2 assists, Jason Terry's 13 points and 3 assists, and relying on Liu Mang and Jason Terry's pass to score 17 points, Iguodala, Muhammad, Josh Smith, and Mourning, at halftime, the Hawks led the Rockets by 10 points 55-45.

Kwame Brown finally relied on Maddie to break through to the basket and was caught by Yao Ming in the last three minutes to score 4 points, which was not easy!

In the third quarter, the Rockets' Van Gundy Jr.'s use of Yao Ming was still very economical, so Yao Ming's previous game said that he would let Yao Ming rest when he was tired, Yao Ming dislocated his toe, and the team doctor suggested that he should rest for two weeks, and Van Gundy Jr. let Yao Ming rest for two weeks.

After the break, Yao Ming wanted to play at the beginning of the third quarter, but Van Gundy Jr. did not agree, not only Yao Ming's physical problem, Richard Jefferson played the first half and also had to rest, the Rockets' strongest defense lies in the presence of David Wesley, Richard Jefferson, and Yao Ming, in order to make up for the lack of defensive hard power of scoring guards and power forwards.

Now replace Yao Ming, David Wesley alone is not enough, going up is just a waste of Yao Ming's physical energy.

It's true that Van Gundy Jr. can't react on the spot, but the planning of the game is his strong point.

Van Gundy Jr. can only replace the lineup of Sula, another defensive air-cut veteran who once relied on a contract year at the age of 32 to play an average of 8 points and 8 boards per game in the summer of 03 and deceived the Rockets in the summer of 03 for 3 years and 14 million, and Scott Padget, Morris Taylor, and Mutombo, who are two meters and six meters and sixth.

Liu Mang came on the court in the third quarter, bringing Iguodala, Prince, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown to the court.

Coach Kruger felt that he still staggered the playing time of Kwame Brown and Yao Ming, and asked Mourning to defend Yao Ming, who was abused too badly.

It's hard to fight, but you can't prevent it!

Jason Terry finished swiping, and this time it was Liu Mang's turn.

The Rockets are very jealous of Liu Mang, the player who averages the league's first three-point shooting per game, outside the three-point line, Witherspoon mainly blocked Liu Mang's three-point, Liu Mang took advantage of Witherspoon to stick tightly, chose to break through the offensive basket, and faced the aging Mutombo with his feet to score consecutive points.

The Rockets' offense was at its most miserable in the third quarter.

The Rockets play other teams, often in the first quarter to have an advantage, in the second quarter the rotation lineup came up to give people heads, the point difference was tied or even overtaken, in the third quarter to the time when Sulla led the team, basically only Sula singles, Sulla's personal ability is okay, at least the skills in the starting level are good, but he is too confident and overconfident, now Yao Ming is a little more domineering, he will pass the ball to Yao Ming when Yao Ming is there, but except for Yao Ming and Richard Jefferson and David Wesley, he looks down on everyone else, Come up and play singles and dig a hole for Team Rocket.

Liu Mang went to the basket in the third quarter, a mid-range pull-up jump shot, a breakthrough and a point, six and a half minutes, got 12 points and 3 assists, and helped the Hawks play a 19-10 half-quarter score, Kwame Brown played very excited, Yao Ming was not working hard to defend and worked hard to cut, and deceived Liu Mang with two assists.

With five and a half minutes left in the third quarter, the Hawks had a 19-point lead at 74-55!

Seeing that the score difference was about to be stretched to 20 points, after the official pause came back, Van Gundy Jr. could only replace the full main force in advance.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry, it's too ferocious when it's time to rotate!

On the Eagles' side, Coach Kruger's judgment was also correct, and after the official timeout came back,

If role players can continue to contribute, it is not a role player, but a star, the last 5 minutes of the third quarter The Hawks only scored 6 points, or Liu Mang threw a mid-range shot, Maddie burst to the basket and caused Juwan Howard to foul twice in a row, and only scored six points in 4 free throws, halftime plus the defense of the Rockets' main lineup who rested for most of the third quarter resumed the performance of the first quarter, and the defense was still very targeted.

The Rockets are really powerful when they have enough physical strength to start, otherwise they would not be able to hold the fifth place in the West when the bench is so poor, and the Hawks can only rely on defense and Liu Mang and Maddy's scores to maintain the score.

At the end of the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 27 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, and Maddie scored 11 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds, and the Hawks led by 15 points at 80-65.

……

With a 15-point lead in the third quarter, Liu Mang felt that the score difference was still relatively stable, and the start of the Rockets was mainly to consume Yao Ming's physical strength, and this game was considered stable.

The Hawks coaching staff thought so too, so they switched to a lineup of Calderon, Jason Terry, Korver, Mohammed, and Mourning, and used the twin towers to consume Yao Ming, and the outside trio scored under Jason Terry.

At the end of the break, the Rockets unsurprisingly switched to an all-starting lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Little Van Gundy can't help it, if he doesn't fight at this time, he won't have a chance.

Yao Ming saw that Liu Mang and Maddie were not on it, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.

It's so contemptuous of people!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hawks attacked first, Jason Terry came up and forced a three-pointer, Richard Jefferson's defense did not score a step-back jumper, and Yao Ming struggled to grab a defensive rebound between Muhammad and Mourning.

The offensive and defensive conversion Rockets attacked first, and Yao Ming began to ask for the ball in a low position!

Yao Ming sat in the low post and singled Mo Ning, and the ruthless Yao Ming is definitely the strongest inside killer in the league except for O'Neal, not to mention Mo Ning, even Ben Wallace, who was at the peak last season, was won by Yao Ming once in double 20.

Yao Ming hit Mo Ning under the basket and smashed the ball into the basket through Mo Ning.

Mo Ning has tried everything to confront Yao Ming, but he just can't bear it!

The Hawks attacked, and Jason Terry was denied a three-point chance by Richard Jefferson, and burst into a mid-range pullup jumper to score two points.

When it came to the second offense of the Rockets, Mo Ning began to go around Yao Ming, Yao Ming followed Mo Ning and went around, stepping to the middle distance of the bottom line, David Wesley's pass was sent to Yao Ming in time, Mo Ning pounced on the block, but Yao Ming's backward jumper was about equal to Nowitzki's golden rooster independence, and the front block was almost impossible, Yao Ming shot in the middle distance and scored again!

Yao Ming is starting to wield power!

Mo Ning honestly stuck in the position, Yao Ming singled in the low position, Muhammad came up and couldn't do it, Yao Ming was ruthless and deducted one through the defense of the two.

When Mo Ning went around the front defense, Yao Ming went to the baseline to catch the ball and shoot at the middle distance, Mo Ning had to press back the center of gravity around the front, and when Yao Ming cut out to the bottom line, Mo Ning couldn't keep up for the first time!

Yao Ming played a wave of onslaught and scored 12 points in the first quarter, and the Rockets scored these 12 points in the first half of the quarter......

On the Hawks' side, they relied on better outside shooting ability to carry the score during this time.

Jason Terry pull-up jump shot plus a pass to Calderon and Korver, Jason Terry scored 4 points on 2-of-5 shooting, Korver played for so long, and finally had a three-point shot in the fourth quarter, Calderon also made a solid three-pointer, and the Hawks also scored 10 points when Yao Ming attacked!

In the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, when the official timeout was about to begin, the Hawks still led the Rockets by 13 points, 90-77.

Just when the Eagles thought it was stable and waited for the dead ball to enter the official timeout, the situation changed abruptly!

The Rockets used Yao Ming to attract Muhammad and Mourning to double the package, Juwan Howard gave Richard Jefferson an outside off-ball block, Yao Ming split it to Richard Jefferson, and Richard Jefferson hit a three-point shot.

When it came to the next Rockets offense, the Rockets did the same, Yao Ming was sending a three-point pass to Richard Jefferson, and Richard Jefferson scored again!

When it came to the third Rockets offense, Richard Jefferson received the ball, and Korver panicked and slapped Richard Jefferson directly on the floor and committed a three-point foul!

Richard Jefferson went to the free throw line and hit all three free throws, and the Rockets scored nine straight points in one minute!

And the Hawks only relied on Jason Terry to make a strong three-point shot, and they were beaten 9-3!

Richard Jefferson took advantage of Yao Ming's containment to score 9 points in a row, and the two combined for 21 points in the first quarter, and at the same time, relying on defense, the Rockets limited the Hawks to only 13 points in the half quarter!

In 7 minutes, the Rockets played a wave of 21-13, narrowing the difference from 15 points to 7 points!

86-93, the Rockets narrowed the gap to within 10 points at once!

With Richard Jefferson's free throws over, the game went into an official timeout.

……

It all came so suddenly!

The storm has changed!

Seeing the 13-point advantage, Coach Krueger was still waiting for the official timeout to replace the main force, and the score difference was over, waiting for the game to end.

And the rotation lineup played very well in the first half of the quarter, withstanding the strong performance of Yao Ming on the Rockets' side of the 12-point score.

But who knew that the Rockets scored 9 points in 1 minute!

Liu Mang and Maddie hurriedly took off their training clothes and threw two hot hands, they had rested for most of the quarter, and they thought that they would just go up to sharpen their defense in the last few minutes, and the opponent suddenly narrowed the difference to 7 points!

Seeing that the Rockets' side is already on the rise, this morale may allow them to carry the limit of their physical strength, which is a problem for the Hawks!

Liu Mang was still watching Yao Mingfa Wei being led by Jason Terry to resist the team, and he was still happy, thinking: Dumbfounded, you are useless inside, and it is useless for you to take 6 shots and 6 hits without teammates!

I didn't expect that it was myself who was dumbfounded in the end!

Richard Jefferson only dunked once today, and the offensive end was very low-key throughout the game, but when he played, he already scored 28 points, only two points less than Yao Ming's 30 points.

After the middle two quarters of the game, Liu Mang didn't expect to be able to play a critical moment, he was ready for a "low score" that might only score more than 20 points in this game, who knows, he still has to play a critical moment!

……

……

The Hawks changed their starting lineup, Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning.

Although Mo Ning was shot 6 by Yao Ming, Mo Ning was able to force Yao Ming to go to the middle distance, although Yao Ming's mid-range shooting was also accurate, but the shooting rate was always lower than that of the basket, Mo Ning's forward was much more experienced than Kwamei Brown, and Kwame Brown also used Yao Ming in the second quarter, but was directly crossed by the opponent and was connected by Yao Mingkong.

Mo Ning went around the front to prevent Yao Ming from receiving the ball directly.

The Rockets brought in Mike James and the strongest lineup of David Wesley, Richard Jefferson, Juwan Howard, and Yao Ming.

The official timeout came back, and the Hawks attacked first.

Liu Mang advanced to the front court and passed the ball to Maddie, and the two continued to block and cut into the wings, and were again blocked by the Rockets' quick change of defense for the two, Maddy distributed the ball to Prince, who made a three-point shot......

Iron!

When it came to the Rockets' offense, the Hawks mainly blocked Richard Jefferson and Yao Ming, and the Rockets' offense didn't make a name for itself.

The two teams fell into a period of iron, and for two minutes in a row, the two teams did not score a point.

Team Rocket calls a timeout!

Liu Mang didn't get a chance to shoot after he went up, and he didn't make a shot in two minutes, and the opponent defended too well.

You can only grind defense!

The timeout came back and the Rockets attacked.

Liu Mang is tightly attached to David Wesley in the top arc, and he loves to break through, anyway, this guy's layup ability is average, only more than 80, the Hawks' strategy is to block the opponent's outside shots, and the mid-range Rockets are the most accurate are two inside.

David Wesley was stuck to Liu Mang and quickly pulled to the right, Liu Mang quickly pounced on the left side and was blocked!

Yao!

Liu Mang wanted to bypass Yao Ming, but Yao Ming grabbed his arm!

The referee didn't blow the whistle!

David Wesley bypassed Yao Ming's block, and before Mo Ning pounced, he used Yao Ming's blockade to shoot a three-point shot!

89 to 93, the difference is only 4 points!

"DESPICABLE BIG-YAO!" Liu Mang glared at Yao Ming after Yao Ming let go of his arm and said.

"Shameless Ace-Liu!" Yao Ming replied unceremoniously.

"You're holding my hand! Despicable villain! Liu Mang didn't expect that he would also use this sentence to scold others one day.

"I'll pull you!" Yao Ming, a Shanghainese, speaks Northeast dialect.

At this time, the Eagles were forced to call a timeout, and the two stared at each other like that, the first inside line and the first outside line of the national brand stared wide-eyed, and said something that the referee next to him couldn't understand, but they still came to separate the two.

That is, he is Chinese, and people from other countries who speak Chinese cannot understand it, so Yao Ming dares to go back so facelessly.

Liu Mang returned to the bench angrily.

When did this guy become so mean! It's true that you can't learn well for 30 years, but if you learn badly, you won't learn well in less than three years!

The fans in front of the domestic TV were in an uproar, and they didn't expect it to be these two people who clashed!

After the screen switched back to them, Director Zhang hurriedly explained, saying that this was a performance of fierce confrontation in the NBA, and it was a normal performance of excitement after Liu Mang and Yao Ming both played wonderful performances......

Director Zhang's explanation was explained to the fans, but he appreciated the conflict between Yao Ming and Liu Mang from the bottom of his heart, mainly to Yao Ming!

Yao Ming played too well in the fourth quarter, and he would also quarrel with the other party, with that strong attitude! Compared with the previous two years, Yao Ming, who has become more willful and self-willed, is more appreciated by the older generation of players.

Although Director Zhang has never played in the NBA, he has never faced world-class players in the World Championships, and he is also the only Asian scoring champion in the World Basketball Championships!

Nowadays, people's overall education and overall education level have improved, but their blood is becoming less and less, and they always think that "harmony is precious".

But what is movement? Isn't it just about relying on competition to show the country's soft power? This is war, the war of modern basketball!

Director Zhang can quarrel with Liu Mang and Yao Ming, not only does he not feel bad, but he feels that this is right, and he can't play so kindly on the field because he is a national team teammate!

Liu Mang didn't complain to the referee anymore, and it was useless to complain.

Although Liu Mang is also one of the players in his best position, although Yao Ming has a strength gap with O'Neal, he is the No. 1 center in the West and one of the two best centers in the league.

In addition, this is the home court of the Rockets, although the home court of the Rockets does not have a home atmosphere, the referee will still sell the Rockets who are fighting at home a face.

It can be seen from today's blowing penalty scale that the whistle that the Rockets get at home is the same as that of the Spurs, and the big moves of pinching and blocking, as long as it is not an obvious foul, it is not blown.

Liu Mang's confrontation in this game was so fierce, but now he has only made 6 free throws, and he knows this very well.

4 points difference!

Liu Mang didn't expect this to happen.

was forced to end by the Rockets in the first quarter, and Liu Mang was not nervous, because the advantage behind him was huge.

And as Liu Mang expected, their side began to have an absolute advantage at the beginning of the second quarter, leading by 10 points at halftime and 15 points in the third quarter, and Coach Kruger used the rotation lineup in the fourth quarter to consume the physical energy of the opponent's starting lineup, and there was no problem, and he did withstand the offensive of the opponent's starting lineup, and he also led by 13 points in the first quarter.

But the opponent scored three three-pointers in a row, and once made three free throws, and played a wave of 12-3 in more than three minutes, narrowing the difference to 4 points!

Originally, Liu Mang felt that the double kill of Yao Ming was stable, and he had already begun to think about the next opponent and the game against the angry shark when he came back from the All-Star weekend.

It seems that this kind of thinking should not be there!

Liu Mang turned his head to look at Maddie, very sure of this idea.

Thinking about something else, Liu Mang's emotions also calmed down under the characteristic of being cold-blooded.

was chased by consecutive points, and the difference between 13 points and 4 points all of a sudden, the Eagles players only created a 37-second tragedy not long ago, and now there is a feeling of "retribution".

Seeing that Maddie was stunned, Liu Mang said loudly to his teammates: "Hey, what's the panic, you still have Xiaoye, the strongest scoring champion in history!" ”
