Houston, a well-known wealthy district.

Yao Ming's 1,100-square-meter mansion, in the living room.

It was just night, and the TV was showing the 05-06 NBA Finals, the Heat and Warriors.

Yao Ming sat on the sofa, at home, Yao's father and Yao's mother also accompanied him to watch the game, and the footage of the second half gave Yang Di a close-up.

"Xiao Yang is really good, he has reached the finals."

Because she had eaten in Yao's restaurant, Yao's mother had met Yang Di, and she had the impression that the young man was sensible and polite, and he was a good young man.

"If this game is not good, we will lose again, if we lose, it will be a 2-2 draw directly, and it will become the scorching series of Tianwang Mountain." Yao Ming opened his mouth and said, he was also quite shaken in his heart about whether Yang Di could finally defeat the Heat.

On the one hand, from a friend's point of view, he hopes that Yang Di can beat Wade, win the O'Brien Cup, and complete the grand slam of personal honor awards, and on the other hand, he hopes that he will be the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team and be the first to win the O'Brien Cup by himself.

But in the final analysis, he still hopes that Yang Di can win, after all, Yang Di is his compatriot in the NBA.

"I think Xiao Yang is very powerful, and he plays easier than you, you see that he is about to score 20 points before you know it." Yao's father, Yao Zhiyuan, is also from a basketball background, and has his own views on basketball games, and compared with his son, he feels that Yang Di is indeed much easier in all aspects.

"He rarely forces confrontations on the inside, unless he grabs a rebound in the front court and then fights, under normal circumstances, he mostly goes to the inside to find a confrontation after breaking through, and there is an acceleration first, so the impact is also linked to part of his speed." Yao Ming knows Yang Di's way of playing, and he is more like a tall small forward.

"Because of his agility, strength and bounce, his ability to rush to grab rebounds in the front court is also better than yours, and if you are not careful, you may be grabbed by him in the front court, and then in a deep position, either foul or watch him complete the dunk or eat under the basket."

Yao Zhiyuan said: "His way of playing is actually quite protective of the body, you see his offensive movements, a large part of them end with shooting, and his footsteps are really good." ”

Yao's mother said: "When you get to the national team, you have to take good care of Xiao Yang, he is a newcomer, but he is a superstar in the NBA, and according to media reports, his temper is not very good, if there is a contradiction in the national team, it is not conducive to your achievements in the World Championships." ”

"I know, I won't let them mess around." Yao Ming nodded, and then looked at his injured left foot, and immediately he was almost 100% recovered, this summer's game. It's really exciting.

......

In the third quarter of the game between the Warriors and the Heat, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

The Heat are still in the lead, and the Warriors are not particularly big in the whole process, about 5 points.

Halfway through the third quarter, after the first long timeout of the second half.

Yang Di suddenly exploded, received a pass from Byron Davis in the middle range and hit a jumper, and then blocked Wade's layup on the defensive end, and played a pick-and-roll with veteran Derrick Fisher in the frontcourt, hitting a layup after knocking away Haslem, and causing Haslem's defensive foul.

Haslem was fouled three times and Jandy walked to the free throw line with two plus one.

The scoring of many games in the NBA is sometimes just a matter of a while, and many fans of the Heat went to the toilet and came back, and the Heat and the Warriors were tied.

"How can this be, obviously the Heat have always been leading before."

The fans shook their heads, in disbelief, the big screen at the scene gave a replay, and then they suddenly realized that it was Yang Di's play again, so they looked at Yang Di's gaze and became more and more unkind.

The Heat called a timeout, and Yang Di and the others walked off the court.

"Good shot!"

"Good pass!"

Yang Di and his teammates high-fived each other in turn and encouraged each other.

Montgomery patted the tactical board, "The Heat will definitely strengthen the outside offense later, if the ball is in O'Neal's hand, we will cut the shark, if the ball is in Wade's hand, we still don't want to wrap it, Yang Di and Byron are two people to defend." Byron, you remember, don't shoot on the spot, let Wade shoot from the outside, don't let him easily enter the restricted area. ”

Byron Davis nodded, of course he knows how powerful the breakthrough of this young man who is 3 years younger than him is now, fortunately he is not very accurate in three points, if the young man is even accurate in three points, it is really against the sky.

Wade has scored 30 points.

Regardless of the final result, the 24-year-old athlete has firmly tied his name to this year's Finals, and he has dedicated one of the best scoring performances in the post-Jordan era.

32 points, 34 points, 35 points......

Wade scored again and again, and by the end of the third quarter, he had scored 37 points.

But to everyone's surprise, the Warriors actually overtook the score, 82-77, and this time the Warriors won by 10 points against the Heat!

"Sometimes, the NBA game is just that deceptive."

"No matter how high the numbers are, it doesn't mean that you can win the game, and it doesn't mean that your teammates must be weak."

Ron Adams sighed: "This is a trick, a tactic that has no way to defend at all, when Wade relies on constantly singles to get more and more points, his teammates will correspondingly reduce the ball, after a few shots are not high, they will subconsciously transfer the ball to Wade, let the more efficient Wade deal with the offense, less touches, after not daring to shoot, the shooting rate is lower, and more unconfident." ”

"No matter how many points Wade gets, it's in vain."

Montgomery habitually narrowed his eyes, "That is, there are more veterans in the Heat, if they are all young players, I'm afraid this section can cost them." ”

Montgomery and Adams also realized the truth after the comparison, and Yang Di's shadow appeared in their hearts, did he already expect this? The young player's ability to read and understand the game is truly terrifying.

Yang Di didn't know that in the eyes of the coach, he had become a master, in fact, he didn't think about it that much, if the other players of the Heat did not score high, he felt that it must be after the Warriors changed their defensive strategy, giving other players more pressure to shoot and shoot.

Pat Riley didn't know what to do, Wade must be on offense, and whether other players could stand up and share Wade's pressure became the biggest problem for the Heat's offense in the second half.

In the final quarter of the game, Yang Di played half a quarter and hit his 30th point from the free throw line.

At this point, Wade had scored a career-high 44 points, and this was the Finals!

He has tied O'Neal and Jordan to become the fifth in the single-game scoring list of the Finals, the first four games are Jordan's 55 points in the fourth game of the Finals with the Suns in '93, Iverson scored 48 points in the first game with the Lakers in '01, Jordan scored 46 points in the battle with the Trail Blazers in '92, and Jordan scored 45 points in the sixth classic battle with the Jazz in '98.
