In the locker room, Stan Van Gundy drew a red circle on Yao Ming, who represents the Rockets' C position on the tactical board, "We have lost five in a row, we can't lose again, Houston is in the ninth and tenth position in the West, this game, we must win." ”

"The key to keeping Houston off is to keep the big man on their team right now, Yao Ming from China."

"Like the Pistons, Houston also uses two centers to partner the interior, Kevin Cato, the interior is forced to hand over to the position of power forward, but his responsibilities are still mostly defensive, Jeff is good at building a defensive team, he will not let Yao Ming and Kevin partner for too long, the two positions conflict."

So once Houston chooses to use Morris Taylor, who is shorter but has a bigger offensive range, Yao Ming will definitely take on more defensive responsibilities, Yao Ming can't carry people, and uses breakouts and more interior offense to make him foul. Also, pay attention to the protection of the rebounding ball. ”

After Van Gundy said another push, when it was time for the game, Yang Di and others walked out of the locker room.

……

After selecting Yao Ming last season, the Rockets improved their record to ninth in the West by partnering with outside Steve Francis and Catino Mobley.

This season, the Rockets basically maintained the original lineup from last season, signing the 33-year-old veteran Jim Jackson of the Swingman at the next point, but due to Yao Ming's growth, this season the Rockets let Yao Ming take on more offensive responsibilities in the low post, and Francis is also willing to reduce his shots, and Yao Ming's average points per game have improved sufficiently since the start of the game.

averaged 19 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, which is completely star-level interior data.

Even so, Yao Ming still feels the conflict between cultural integration, and he and Yang Di said that adapting to the NBA is a difficult process, not only in the game, but also in daily training, communication with teammates, and whether or not they can be ideologically inclusive.

And the best way to prove yourself is to rely on strong strength.

That's the case with Houston fans, and if Yao Ming's selection as an All-Star starter last season was a bit offensive, his performances since the start of the season have completely convinced him of fans in the region, and many Americans have fallen in love with this humble, gentle and talented gentleman on the court.

In contrast, Yang Di, who is also a Chinese player, is like the other extreme, irritable, impulsive, and constantly in negative news.

Beijing, the studio of the Imperial Court Television.

The commentator invited for this game is Sun Zhengping and the commentator Xu Jicheng, the commentary partner of the older generation, these two can be regarded as relatively heavyweight, and it also shows the importance that the court attaches to this game.

The game has not officially started, and the two of them will give a brief explanation and prediction before the start of this game.

"It's still the Rockets that win," Xu Jicheng said categorically: "The Rockets have just won three consecutive victories, and in terms of momentum and state, they are obviously still better than the Heat." And the most critical point is that the Rockets have a height inside, Yao Ming and Kevin Cato are both seven-foot-long, while the Heat are a bunch of short insiders who are not satisfied with 2.10 meters, which will be the disadvantage of the Heat. ”

Sun Zhengping said, "The Rockets are ranked third in the West, the Heat is the first from the bottom in the East, and there is an obvious gap between the two teams in terms of strength. ”

The two of you explain word by word, and they all look at the heat in their words.

At this time, the players on both sides of the field have stood in position, and the referee on duty walked to the center circle to kick off, and under the whistle, Sun Zhengping's voice changed as if it echoed.

"CCTV, CCTV, what you're watching now is the Miami Heat vs. Houston Rockets ......"

"First of all, the Rockets jumped ball to win, good shot, Yao Ming turned and a beautiful slam dunk!"

Some people say that Sun Zhengping is the James of the commentary world, from basketball, football, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, diving, track and field gymnastics, to aerobics, hockey, boxing, judo, taekwondo, all of them are incomprehensible, and his figure is everywhere.

......

"Ding, Instant Mission, Derby Show - Get better scores, rebounds and blocks than Yao Ming in the Chinese Derby. Rating A, Quest Reward: Yao Ming Template Training Card Pack (A+). ”

Yang Di stared at No. 11 on the field hotly, as if he saw three opportunities to use the template training ground.

But as soon as he saw Yao Ming come up and score a goal, Yang Di's heart was cold, and he yelled loudly: ", defend well, will you defend!" ”

"Huh?" Haslem on the side suddenly looked at Yang Di with strange eyes, thinking in his heart that Yao Ming was not Yang Di's fellow countryman? In the afternoon, the two of them were still talking and laughing, looking intimate, but I didn't expect to turn their faces and deny people in a game at this time, this kid is really black-bellied.

Thinking of this, Haslem shifted his ass, feeling that he was in danger.

Probably because he heard Yang Di's shout or felt that it was too embarrassing to be dunked on the head by a hairy boy like Yao Ming, Grant worked hard, and then the defense was conscientious and focused, the Heat balanced defense on the outside, Wade and Francis, two fierce men with strong physical fitness, pinched each other, and the scene was not lively.

Yao Ming tried a mid-range turnaround jumper missed, made two shots in the first quarter, and was substituted in the 7th minute, with 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 foul.

Yang Di was substituted on the court in the ninth minute, and to his surprise, there were a lot of cheers at the scene.

"Come on, Yang Di!" The local Chinese fans in Houston applauded and shouted at Yang Di, who looked up in surprise and saw the two or three Chinese fans wearing his No. 8 Heat jersey in two rows of seats, waving their arms.

Yang Di waved his hand in response, and they also saw Yang Di's gaze, and they were immediately overjoyed, and they waved more actively.

On the court, Rockets Kevin Cato is a center player, Scott Padgett is a big forward, small forward Trey Braggs, scoring guard Jim Jackson, and point guard Catino Mobley. On the Heat's side, Wade remained on the court, with John Wallace and Eddie Jones on the wings, and Haslem and Jandy on the inside.

Both teams are actually point guard teams, Mobley on the Rockets' side is good at scoring, and the Heat is mostly based on simple break-through shots, although they are handed over to Wade's organization.

As soon as Yang Di came on the field, Wade immediately gave him a look and motioned for him to come out to block the demolition.

After Yang Di came up, the two veteran hosts of the imperial court station began to give a brief introduction to Yang Di, which was unavoidable, although they had received greetings and repeatedly tried to mention this name as little as possible in the usual games, but there was no way to do it today.

"This is a legendary Chinese player." Sun Zhengping emphasized the word "nationality", in fact, Yang Di does not have any qualification certification for athletes recognized by the General Administration of Sports of China, so he is now a special existence that makes the Basketball Association very embarrassed, and he can only think that Chinese players can't control him anyway.

Judging from the few games he has played in before, this player is heavy on defense and light offense, has a relatively simple means of attacking inside, has excellent physical fitness, has played the top ten shots before, and dunks are very powerful. So the main reason why he came up was to strengthen his defense and box-guarding ability, and at the same time strengthen his offensive ......," Xu Jicheng said slowly.

Then he paused and changed the subject, "One of the audience members texted and said that if the Heat lost again, he would sell the TV. Don't, the Heat will win one day. ”

Sun Zhengping: "......"

"Good shot!" The two men exclaimed together.

Sun Zhengping said: "The goal from Dwyane Wade, his breakthrough was as fast as lightning, and the layup in the box was like no one. ”

Xu Jicheng continued: "The defense of the rocket should not be, and this goal reflects the weakening of Yao Ming's defense in the penalty area after he left the game." How the substitutes can protect the penalty area during the period when Yao Ming is off the pitch is a question that should be addressed. Hey, you see, I didn't go in, and the fight was still simple. ”

"Yang Di protects the backcourt rebounding, and his ability to card and rebound is a major feature."

In the front court, Yang Di once again blocked and dismantled Wade, after Wade dismantled, he changed to the middle line, Yang Di crossed and ran down, Wade attracted defense, Kevin Cato and Jim Jackson wrapped Wade, Wade threw a high to Yang Di, and Yang Di instantly formed a situation of attacking the basket without defense.

At this time, the Rockets power forward let go of Haslem to supplement Yang Di.

Yang Di "snapped" and dribbled the ball, and when he saw Scott Padgett who was making up for the defense, he suddenly had a very clear idea in his mind, and he threw the ball freehand like a flash of inspiration.

"What!" Scott didn't expect Yang Di to be so fast at all, and he didn't judge it.

When he turned back, Haslem slammed the ball into the basket!

The room was in an uproar, and the two Van Gundy coaches stood up from their seats at the same time, their faces looking surprised.
