In order to compete for the NBA championship, Yao Ming gave up the 2012 Olympics under domestic pressure.

Yao Ming suffered a little ankle injury last season, and although it was not serious, he needed to rest. If he plays in the Olympics and then in the NBA, the outcome is likely to be a stress fracture.

2008 was the peak of the Chinese men's basketball team, and they failed to make a breakthrough in their records.

After a full rest, the 32-year-old Yao Ming showed good form at the start of the game, averaging 17.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, helping the Nets to play a record that overwhelmed the Cavaliers and ranked first in the East.

Now, the goal of the Nets is to compete for a championship.

The battle of stars, the duel between Yang Rui and his disciple Brad Stevens, are the highlights of the game, and the league began to promote it three days in advance, which was broadcast live across the United States.

In a regular season game, the staff turns off the lights when the players come out to create an atmosphere, boost morale, and make it as grand as a playoff game.

This game should indeed be grandiose, there are a lot of stars.

Clippers starters: Paul, Danny Green, Gay, Griffin, Chandler.

Nets starters: Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Jimmy Butler, Derrick Favors, Yao Ming.

Chandler jumped the ball and the game began.

Paul dribbled the ball to the three-point line, observed the running position of his teammates, and Yang Rui arranged the outside shooting to attack the main line, and wanted to withdraw Yao Ming from the basket.

Yao Ming wasn't selected for the All-Defensive Team because of his slow movement and poor pick-and-roll defense, but if he defended near the box, none of the teams could easily hit the basket. Therefore, the common way to deal with Yao Ming's team is to block and dismantle, shoot at the guard, or attract him to switch defenses.

Paul and Griffin played pick-and-rolls in the middle, Chandler gave Green an off-ball cover on the right side, the Nets used mixed defense, Yao Ming defended near the restricted area, and the outside lineman was marked, and there was a gap to interfere with the shot by turning.

Paul took it to the left 45 degrees, attracting DeLong to chase and Yao Ming to follow, and split the ball into the middle. Griffin catches the ball from the free throw line and makes a jumper. 2 to 0.

The Nets' offense is the same routine as the Clippers, with Ludron holding the ball and Yao Ming blocking and dismantling in the middle, Favors on the side giving Joe Johnson off-ball cover, and Butler pulling away on the side.

The difference is that Yao Ming's range is longer than Griffin's, Yao Ming has been practicing for eight years in the middle of the three-point range, and this point shooting rate is very high, reaching 40.7% last season. Delon is one of the best point guards at blocking and pick-and-roll, getting rid of Paul by covering and rushing to the left to the corner to attract Chandler and pass to the middle.

Paul failed to interfere with Yao Ming's catch, and it was completely impossible to interfere with Yao Ming's shooting, and the height gap between the two was the highest on the court, reaching 44CM, which was the gap between The Hobbit and Gandalf......

Yao Ming shot on tiptoe, Paul could only watch, did not jump, and the ball hollowed into the net. 2 to 3.

Nets home fans gave a standing ovation and chanted Yao's name. He is the most popular star in New York, Yao Ming, who did not have a championship for the Rockets in his previous life, and Yao Ming, who won the MVP 4 times, is not a grade of popularity. Because of him, many New York fans have become inclined to watch the Nets games, especially Chinese fans, who regard Yao Ming as a spiritual symbol of the city.

New York is the city with the best economic development in the United States, and it is precisely for this reason that it has attracted a large number of Chinese people to enter, and it is the city with the largest number of Chinese, and New York's Chinatown and Flushing are very famous.

Yao Ming is very grateful to Yang Rui for his original suggestion, New York is more suitable for him to develop than Los Angeles, his commercial value has increased, and the Nets have also risen rapidly, which is a win-win situation.

The Clippers attacked, Paul and Griffin blocked and dismantled, opened up space, and after Deron chased the defense, the ball quickly transferred to the middle, Griffin received the ball and made a jumper, and the high post scored another mid-range shot. 4 to 3.

Yang Rui cultivated Griffin in the same way as Yao Ming, let them do the same thing, Griffin has improved significantly, although he still rarely shoots three-point this season, and his three-point shooting rate is average, but his mid-range shooting has been very solid.

From a statistic perspective, Griffin's 39.4 percent shooting percentage doesn't seem like a good one, but compared to some other interior players who are considered to be very good at shooting, he's not bad at all.

Aldridge, who is considered the best power forward, has shot 41.8% from the field this season; As a representative of projection power forwards, Kevin Love, who shoots as far as the three-point line, shoots 41.5% from the field; Mark Gasol, who is considered to be the representative of the European interior and has good projection ability, has a shooting rate of only 38.8%.

Admittedly, Griffin is not as good as some pure pitchers in the mid-range, but he is already in the upper middle of the range among interior players, which makes his tactical role even more obvious.

The Nets attacked, and DeLong broke through the right side to make a quick stop jump shot after blocking and dismantling, and also scored with color. 4 to 5.

Although Paul is very active in chasing defense, it is also difficult for the 183CM height to block DeLong on the side, and the inside line must be blocked in front of Delong, and he shoots accurately.

Paul can get into the defense for a while because he has a good restriction on the point guard and a good sense of defense, but once he is out of place, Paul suffers a lot. Height and weight don't matter? Fans who go to the field to try their defenses and are 15CM taller than themselves will know.?

Six minutes later, the two sides were tied at 10-18, the Nets gradually pulled the score away, and the Clippers' offense was limited.

Chandler can only score under the basket, and he can pull it out to let it go, while the Nets can shoot both interior shots, which opens up more space.

Outside Delon has always been Paul's nemesis, and it was good not to press Paul today, both of whom were pass-oriented in the opening stage, scoring 2 points and 3 assists respectively.

Joe Johnson, known as "Single Joe", has the advantage of Danny Green's strength, and when he changes Guy's defense, he can run without the ball and catch the ball. He hit a three-pointer, hit a mid-range shot, and made two free throws on a breakaway to score seven points.

In the small forward position, Guy didn't play a heads-up, was blocked by Butler, and didn't score a point, while Butler cut to Yao Ming's pass and dunked with one hand to score two points.

After Butler entered the league, he was cultivated as a blue-collar outside defense, and he averaged 8.6 points, 4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1 steal per game this season.

He's an excellent instant player, even if he needs to improve his awareness on the defensive end, he is very tough, has unlimited stamina, can always entangle around opponents, and is very aggressive in rushing for rebounds.

Butler's upbringing is an inspirational story of being kicked out of the house by his mother when he was 13. When his mother was chasing him, she actually said, "I don't like your looks, so go away." ”

After that, he had to stay at a friend's house, and it can be said that he had 10,000 reasons to choose to give up on himself, but he chose to work hard, and when he entered the NBA, he also said: "Thank you for the past experience, it is it that has made me who I am today." ”

Seeing Butler's current success, his ugly mother will probably cry and faint in the toilet, and after joining the NBA, Butler is fully capable of living a rich life.

In the second half, Yang Rui made substitutions, Paul, Gay, and Chandler rested, and Curry, Parsons, and Battier came up, starting the small-ball tactics in advance. Griffin stepped into the center forward position, defending Yao Ming.

CCTV5 Zhang Reasonable said: "It seems that the Clippers are going to speed up, which is a test for Yao Ming, but playing small-ball tactics is also an opportunity for Yao Ming, and he definitely has an advantage in single-handing Griffin." ”

Yu Jia said: "Green didn't do a good job of defending Joe Johnson, Yang Rui let Guy defend for a few rounds, and now it is estimated that Battier will defend, leaving Green on the floor for offense, and he has now completely squeezed Korver to the bench." ”

Zhang Li said: "If you attack against, the game is good-looking." ”
