In the data competition of the center, Yao Ming unexpectedly had the upper hand.

Kobe Bryant performed better, with 19 points and 4 assists in a single quarter; Eddie Jones has completely failed to keep up with his former little brother, with only 5 points and 1 assist.

Rashid played the entire quarter and scored seven points, outperforming the Heat's two blue-collar power forwards.

Yang Rui replaced Yao Ming in advance, not because he fouled twice, but in order to allow him to reasonably distribute his physical strength and play with substitutes. It's Christmas, and fans don't want to go into garbage time early to watch the bench battle, and Yang Rui is ready to maximize the attacking power of the star.

In the first quarter, Diop was used to defend O'Neal, and Odom didn't play for a minute, so it became two stars to lead the team, and the other three were Mo Williams, Hojberg, and Ariza.

When Yao Ming took the bench, Yang Rui would not let Dior play, even if he had two consecutive triple-doubles, he still had to sit on the bench. Because the team doesn't need him to play in the low post, after playing on the offensive end, he overlaps with Yao Ming, and the three-point difference can't open up space, and on the defensive end, his performance is not as good as Ariza.

Dio is more suitable for defending big forwards, with good strength and can withstand them, and he can also control the rebound ball and launch a counterattack, and he can't play his strengths in defending small forwards.

The Heat's bench small forward is Caron Butler, the all-around warrior, and Ariza is more appropriate for his counterpoint. When training on the team, Ariza is clearly not an opponent in defending Kobe, and defending Iguodala can reduce efficiency, and Iguodala and Butler happen to be the same type.

The other four are Payton, Rasu Butler, Haslem, and Grant.

The Heat rely primarily on an eight-man rotation, and Stan Van Gundy isn't a coach who trusts rookies.

Like his younger brother Jeff Van Gundy, he is extremely dedicated and his only hobby is work. It has been reported that Dafan's video editor has a very heavy workload, and Dafan always has to make various videos, and he usually has nothing to do at home to watch videos and take notes.

In Yang Rui's previous life, compared to his coaching ability, Da Fan was better than his younger brother, but now, Xiao Fan's coaching ability is better than that of his brother, and he is relatively flexible in employing people.

Van Gundy didn't trust backup point guard Smush Parker and preferred to let veteran Payton play more, which quickly proved to be a mistake.

Payton is getting slower and slower, and he doesn't chase the ball when he meets the screen, while Mo Williams is the type who can shoot when he catches the ball. This resulted in an interior player having to switch guards in time, and Odom cut to the inside from the side, receiving a pass from Yao Ming to bully Payton.

Mo Williams can also hold the ball and play blocking and dismantling with Yao Ming in the middle to get rid of defenders, and Grant is very slow to change defenses and is easy to be passed by defenders. The defender attracts the defensive cross to the middle, and Yao picks Haslem on the list, with a huge height advantage, and he doesn't have to worry about being blocked when he shoots.

When Odom gets the ball on the side, Yao Ming can also cut to the low post and catch the ball heads-up.

4 minutes later, the Lakers played a wave of 16-3, and the point difference continued to widen, Yao Ming dealt with the short inside, easily cut down 8 points, 3 of 3 shots, and 2 of 2 free throws. Mo Williams hit two three-pointers, and Odom cut to complete the dunk.

Only veteran Payton scored two points on a high board layup, Butler made one of two free throws for a foul, and the others took turns to play iron.

O'Neal, the Heat's interior line has neither an axis nor space. Van Gundy could only call another timeout, replacing O'Neal and Wade with two stars, replacing Grant and Rasu.

If Rasu can't shoot three points, he won't have much effect on the court, and he feels bad today, after the substitution, only Butler can shoot three points on the Heat, let alone break the defense.

Two minutes later, the Heat replaced Payton with Eddie Jones, and Wade played point guard to add a shooting point. This adjustment also didn't work, and the Lakers shrank near the restricted area to defend no matter how the opponent passed the ball and covered.

Yang Rui's goal is very clear, to clean up O'Neal fiercely, and the outside players score and admit it, and let them shoot.

O'Neal didn't have much chance to shoot under the strict defense, and finally caused a foul, missed two free throws, and then he struggled to push the two strong attacks to make it 2+1, and he didn't hit the free throws.

O'Neal was blocked and dismantled by Kobe Bryant and led out of the basket, and Yao Mingkong cut the ball to make a foul, and scored 4 points safely.

The most exciting scene in this section came from 3 minutes and 16 seconds, Kobe Bryant's mid-range shot missed under O'Neal's interference, Yao Ming grabbed the frontcourt rebound with one hand under the basket, immediately jumped twice, smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand, and knocked over Haslem.

This is a slam dunk performance that can be selected as the top five, and Yao Ming shows his toughness.

Yang Rui applauded with the players on the sidelines.

Yang Rui was very excited and happy for Yao Ming. In the era he traveled, the strength of Chinese basketball declined very much, and there was no star who could get his hands on it, only Yao Ming, who made the world's basketball fans admit the strength of Chinese players!

Yao Ming was selected by the Rockets and did not have a good record, so he was questioned a lot. Now that it's the Lakers, there is a group of tough teammates, and Yao Ming can make up for this regret.

Before halftime, Yao Ming hit a two-point shot in the final hit to lead the Lakers 87-40.

If it weren't for Wade's 10 points in a single quarter and his performance was acceptable, the Heat would have been beaten at halftime, and now the Heat is expected to set a record for the largest point difference in NBA history.

"Leading by 47 points at halftime is not like a playoff game between teams, just a one-sided slaughter," Barkley said. The Lakers were too accurate from the outside, and the Heat only had Eddie Jones shoot a three-pointer. ā€

Smith smiled: "The Lakers played exceptionally on the perimeter this quarter, Odom shot 2 of 3 three-pointers, Mo Williams shot 2 of 4, Kobe Bryant shot 2 of 4, and their overall three-point shooting rate today exceeded 50%, which is a nightmare Christmas battle for Heat players." ā€

In the second half, Yang Rui rested Yao Ming, who had 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Kobe Bryant brought his own bench, and his teammates were Damon Jones, Iguodala, Rashid, Diop, and there were still two starters on the court.

Yang Rui is not to save face for the Heat, but wants Diop to consume O'Neal's physical energy first, and then send Yao Ming to play in the second half of the game, which can better ensure scoring efficiency.

Diop plays his only specialty, making a meat shield against O'Neal, pushing him outside the box, away from the basket, and his teammates will also wrap up on the side at any time.

Kobe attacked again and again, and finally stole O'Neal once, this is not the point, the point is that people have seen Wade's weakness, Kobe Bryant is clamped, the ball is out, Wade can't shoot three points in the empty position, and in the face of joint defense, he also tries to break through to the basket.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and leaning towards the tigers, Wade broke through sharply and scored 11 points in a single quarter, but his role in the system was limited.

The Lakers entered the final quarter 112-70 and scored only 25 points, 12 of which were scored by Kobe, who scored 40 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in 30 minutes, and crushed O'Neal in statistics.

O'Neal had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, which is a good stat, but there is no dominance to speak of.

Yao Ming played 5 minutes in the quarter, scoring 6 points and 3 rebounds, for a total of 29 points and 11 rebounds.

With 42 points behind impossible to turn around, Van Gundy considered sending a late bench and abandoned the game.

What made the Heat collapse was that Yao Ming and Odom came on the court in the last quarter, and Mo Williams, Hojberg, and Ariza on the outside.

On Christmas Eve, the Lakers are going to kill them all!
