Yao Ming wiped the sweat from his face and felt a little tired, but it was much better than last season.

Since the beginning of this season, he feels that his physical function has reached the peak of his career, and because of the change in play, his personal scoring has increased a lot, there are not too many foul troubles, and he has saved enough energy in the fourth quarter.

"The warriors are so strong, Yang Di can't prevent them at all."

Hayes sighed, feeling a lot of pressure on him.

Hayes, a player from the University of Kentucky, graduated and lost the draft, with no team selecting a short interior player who is 22 years old or older in the draft. He then landed a job with the Rockets, where assistant coach Tom Thibodeau saw what he grew up and made a spectacular metamorphosis this year, becoming the Rockets' starter.

Hayes became an inspirational figure, and his defensive skills increased day by day, greatly easing Yao Ming's tasks on the defensive end, and Yao Ming began to change to a more relaxed defensive task.

But Hayes still feels that he can't prevent Yang Di, Yang Di is about 10 centimeters taller than him, plus the gap in arm span, as long as Yang Di wants to shoot, he basically can't cover it, he can only put pressure on Yang Di psychologically, and the effect is very average.

"I'm more afraid of his shots, and if he just breaks through, I'm not so worried." Hayes said.

Yao Ming nodded, he knew Yang Di's difficulty in defense, just kidding, he averaged more points per game than him, and he was still a player known for his defense, skilled and proficient in various offensive means under the basket.

Yao Ming said unswervingly: "As long as the outside firepower of the Warriors is not opened, with today's situation, we can still win, and we will definitely win." ”

It seems to encourage his teammates and cheer himself up.

Yang Di had a three-minute break in the final quarter before Montgomery brought him on the court.

Correspondingly, the Rockets have also made personnel adjustments, Yao Ming and Maddie have come on the court in advance, and the most critical game can only be to let the main team play for a few more minutes.

On the court, the Rockets led the Warriors by 2 points 84-82, and the lead was already small.

But fortunately, there is still an advantage in ball possession, after Yao Ming came on the court, Spanoolis who performed well controlled the ball from the outside, and then handed it to Yao Ming, who asked for the ball in the low post, and the Rockets pulled away and let Yao Ming play Biedrins alone.

Bedrins' hands were almost weak, Yao Ming's huge body hit him like a mountain, he only felt a numbness in his arm, and the whole person was forced to adjust his steps backwards, "rubbing" the ground like a weak reed.

"Bang!"

Yao Ming hit it for the second time, but Biedrins couldn't bear it and took a big step back, Yao Ming immediately turned around under the basket, stepped to the front, and made a fake action of shooting.

The reaction speed between the electric lights and flints was too fast, and Yang Di, who rushed to the side to assist in the defense, was deceived and flew over Yao Ming's head.

Yao Ming got up again, and after pushing away Biedrins, he grabbed the basket under the basket and dunked it hard.

The fans at the Toyota Center cheered, and Yao Ming's dunk was really domineering.

Beedrins spat out his braces, quickly ran to the baseline to serve, and after dialing it to Louis Williams, Louis Williams rushed forward.

In the front court, Yang Di came out and received the ball on the line.

Hayes was forced to move to the line, Yang Di received the ball in his hand, dribbled to the middle, Louis Williams took Yang Di's ball again, and Yang Di helped him block Span, who was defending him.

Louis Williams took the ball comfortably, dribbled with his right hand and broke down to the right.

After Yang Di blocked Span, his body turned around, and Hayes could only follow Louis Williams first, Yang Di cut in, and Spann blocked his side.

Williams returned the ball to Yang Di, who received the ball with his back to Span, dribbled and turned around, and hit in.

Yao Ming assisted in defense, Yang Di raised his arms high, and after a slight confrontation in the air, he threw the ball out of the layup with his low hand, and bumped and bumped a few times on the basket after the basketball hit the board.

Yang Di jumped for the second time after landing, and almost didn't interfere with the ball by himself.

86-84, the Rockets led by 2 points.

In the game with the Warriors, basically the scores of other teams are very high, mainly because the Warriors rarely have offensive faults, even if the outside hand fails, Yang Di can still score the ball through the inside strong attack, and Yang Di rarely has a very low shooting rate, and there are only two or three games with abnormal shooting rates in a season.

Maddie advanced with the ball and beckoned Yao Ming to come out and block the dismantling.

Ariza defended aggressively, stepping back to get around and wrap up Maddie with Biedrins, which is one of the most common pick-and-rolls.

Bedrins was very happy in his heart, this kind of work was much easier than resisting Yao Ming just now.

Maddie was caught and wanted to pass directly to Yao Ming, but out of the corner of his eye, he aimed at Yang Di, who was quietly moving, and immediately did not pass the ball vigilantly, and then Maddie leaned down and took a step to the right, bursting out of speed and forcibly overtaking.

Ariza was tight on the ground, and Maddie didn't have any good offensive opportunities.

Distributed the ball to Span, who caught up on the flank, and Spann tapped the ground on his toes, received the ball and broke through in reverse, and even passed the defender Louis Williams.

"Lu Wei's defense is really water!" Ron Adams said unceremoniously.

Montgomery also covered his face, rubbing his chin, with a hint of helplessness on his face, "Louis Williams is such a two-faced player, he can play hot almost as soon as he gets on the offensive end, and he is an excellent sixth man on the team, but the defensive end is a colander, anyone can easily blow him up, and Monta is slightly better than him." ”

Spann passed Lowe and hit a pull-up jumper.

At 88-84, the Rockets led by four points.

Yang Di can see that the whole Rockets team very much wants to win this game, and their fighting spirit is even higher than that of the Warriors, although the Warriors also want to win this game, but for now, the Spurs still have a win gap with the Warriors, and if they lose this game, they can still guarantee the third high position in the West.

And if the Rockets lose this game, they will be farther away from the Spurs, and the next game will be more stressful.

Montgomery waved his hand and replaced him with Tyson Chandler, who was better than the skinny Biedrins, although he couldn't guard against Yao Ming.

Yao Ming controlled the game, and with Maddie's split ball still hitting the mid-range, his personal score rose to 30 points.

Yang Di only scored 25 points at this time, and Yao Ming's performance in this game was better than Yang Di.

The Chinese fans were the most thrilled to watch, and this derby played the picture they wanted to see, with Yang Di and Yao Ming being the protagonists on the field.

In the last 2 minutes and 17 seconds, Yang Di broke through to the restricted area and hit a flying dunk, and the Rockets called a timeout.

Hayes's rhythm was a little chaotic at this time, and he was completely led by Yang Di's nose, although Yang Di's score was not very explosive, but he played with ease, shooting falsely, and shooting falsely.

Chandler of the Warriors on the other side was also uncomfortable, receiving his fifth foul on Yao Ming, and one more foul, he was about to graduate and go to rest.
