Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Chapter 196: The final battle of the regular season

"Invincible Golden Rooster Independent (1st floor): If you don't understand, just ask, what is s.m?"

"Rocket Championship (2nd floor): Please leave the game if you are a minor. Next is 18 goals..."

"Wu Zhuang can be used (3rd floor): s.m don't know, private me, let me tell you!"

"Armor warriors gather (4th floor: good people on the 3rd floor live a safe life."

...

What Yao Ming doesn't know is that because s.m is not only discussing it in the United States, but also because of the name Barkley took to the domestic posting bar, it broke out.

Sure enough, lsp does not distinguish nationality!

However, in the end, considering the impact, the domestic media unified the name of the combination of Yao Ming and Francis as the "shenma combination".

Of course, such shouting in the media belongs to such shouting in the media.

More among the fans, they still directly call them s.m combinations.

No other reason, just because of the excitement!

Yao Ming was a little speechless by this name.

However, at the end of this game, he gained more than just the s.m combination.

For the comparison between him and Kevin Garnett, he relied on this game to gain the upper hand.

This is a situation he is pleased with.

Like after the game against the Spurs, he praised his dominance at critical moments.

With one blow, Yao Ming scored every goal in the second half of the third quarter, which was really deadly! Especially when Kevin Garnett was completely locked up by the Rockets' defense at the same critical moment.

Isn't it an instant, is the judgment made?

Regular season MVP...

Hum hum!

Bring it to you!

...

In the first game in March, Yao Ming met McGrady again.

By this time of the season, the Magic’s goal has long since become "holding the last place in the regular season of the season", so recently they have suffered a 9-game losing streak. In this game with the Rockets, they hope they can work hard. Increase the number of consecutive losses to double digits and continue to consolidate their position as the bottom of the league.

McGrady seems to have accepted this result. His style of play has also changed a lot from the first time Yao Ming met him before, just focusing on his own efforts to score points.

In the end, both the Magic and Tracy McGrady gained what they wanted in this game. The Magic gained a defeat. According to their hopes, they became the only team in the league that is currently losing a 10-game losing streak. Tracy McGrady got it. 32 points, this scoring surpasses his 28 points per game so far this season.

Both of them are satisfied with this result, and they both have a bright future.

The Rockets scored a good start in March with a 23-point victory.

Yao Ming only played three quarters in this game, and then he "off work".

It's not just him. The Rockets' entire main team didn't play much in the fourth quarter. Battelle played for nearly 10 minutes in this game. This is the playing time he didn't get after he returned from Karl Malone.

It can be seen that in the last full month of this season, Tom has begun to prepare for the arrival of the playoffs.

Whether to say it or not, this guy is indeed a very experienced old coach. He really knows what to do when, and he doesn't need anyone to remind him.

Speaking of which, Yao Mingming did not worry much about this.

Of course, this is why he put so much effort into keeping Tom here!

Isn't it so awkward, can he make it so hard?

After this game, the league’s monthly "awarding ceremony" has come again. However, this time it was announced with the "Best of the Week" from the previous week.

Francis won the "Player of the Week Award" for the second time in his career.

Well, after running with him a few times, he finally won another "Player of the Week" award. It is not easy. To calculate it, it has been almost a few months since he won the "Best of the Week" last time. In the meantime, he said less and ran with him almost four or five times.

Regarding the high frequency of accompany running, this guy is the only one in the league!

Francis, who got the "Best of the Week", was also very excited.

Yao Ming felt that it was not easy for him, and he naturally felt that it was not easy for him.

In addition, Yao Ming won the "Player of the Month Award" again.

The Rockets lost only 3 games in February, which was the least lost team in the Western Conference in February.

And when Yao Ming doesn't have to worry about his record, he won the "Player of the Month Award" naturally without any problems.

Because of the data, we old Yao are really not afraid of anyone!

Average rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.5 blocks per game...This is the data sheet that Yao Ming handed over in February. This data will have to be blown up by the media for any other star, and this is already Yao Ming’s normal state. If he pulls out the data for each month in the past and takes a closer look, the data he has in February is actually very inconspicuous.

But it was his "very unremarkable" data that allowed him to successfully win the "Western Player of the Month Award" in February.

With the addition of the "Monthly Best" in February, Yao Ming's monthly best number of this season has come to 3... This makes him the player who has won the most "monthly best number" so far this season.

Because O’Neal, who won the Player of the Month award for two consecutive times before, did not win the Player of the Month award in February in the end, this month’s Eastern "Player of the Month" belongs to Ben Wallace.

In fact, the record of the Pistons in February was not better than that of the Pacers. They all lost 4 games, but in the game they met this month, the Pistons had the last laugh and made Ben Wallace and O'Neal. The last laugh in the competition.

This situation is somewhat similar to Yao Ming and Kevin Garnett.

It can be said that Yao Ming also defeated Kevin Garnett head-on in the match with the Timberwolves at the end of the month before he gained the upper hand in public opinion.

Seeing the Pistons defeat the Pacers, Yao Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The strength of the Pacers before gave him no clear understanding of the team’s current strength. Fortunately, now that the Pistons have defeated them, that’s fine, although Yao Ming did not follow the new version of the Pistons. He has played, but he knows very well that no matter how strong this Pistons team is, it cannot be as strong as the original "Pistons Five Tigers".

Rasheed Wallace is the best configuration of the Pistons' current lineup!

And now that the Pistons are slightly weaker than the "Pistons Five Tigers", since the new "Five Tigers" can win each other with the Pacers, it means that the strength gap between them is not very large.

There is a check and balance between them, Yao Ming also has a clearer understanding of the new version of the Pacers.

And in this way, the Pacers will inevitably encounter trouble in the playoffs. No matter which of these two teams enters the finals, it will go through a brutal round of playoffs. According to the current situation, It is very likely to be a brutal round of the Eastern Conference Finals, which I have to say, is good news!

Yao Ming, who won the February Player of the Month award, also continued to top the MVP list for the regular season in February.

Under him is still the chase of O'Neal and Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan is fourth.

The San Antonio media had something to say, but because the Spurs lost to the Timberwolves in the first game in March, they decisively chose to remain silent.

The Timberwolves just lost to the Rockets, which won them. Doesn't it mean that the Rockets are stronger? So what else is there to say about this ranking, reasonable, and very reasonable!

With this season coming to March, the competition for the regular season MVP of this season is actually very clear. Yao Ming is the one with the greatest hope. Under him is the competition between O'Neal and Kevin Garnett.

Some media even said: "Now there is only one way to prevent Yao from taking the MVP of the regular season, and that is to catch the Rockets from the top spot in the regular season! It's just not easy!"

At present, the Pacers are missing the Rockets by 3 games, the Timberwolves are missing the Rockets by 4 games, the Spurs are missing by 6 games, and the Pistons are missing by 8 games.

With only one and a half months left in the schedule and more than 20 games, the only possible team is actually the Pacers and Timberwolves, and even the Spurs may not be able to do it!

But even if the Pacers and Timberwolves want to win three or four more games than the Rockets in the last 20 games, it is really not a simple matter... No wonder the media said so!

The competition for the MVP of the regular season has gradually become clearer, but the competition for the "Best Rookie" award has become more and more fierce.

Some media described it this way. How clear is the ending of last year's "Best Rookie Award", and how much suspense this year's "Best Rookie Award" will be!

When the second month of the NBA season last year, there was not much discussion about the "Best Rookie Award"...

In the "March Rookie of the Month" award just released, the two of them once again won this "award". So far, they have not let this award fall to others.

Speaking of the other rookies of the 03 generation, it is really frustrated. Let’s just say Wade, who averaged 4.1 assists in rebounds per game. If this is changed to another year, the "Best Rookie" award may be won, but this year, even the "most of the month." The "Best Rookie Award" is not available.

Of course, if you really want to say aggrieved, it must be Milicic who is the most aggrieved.

So far, the game with the most playing time is still the second game with the Rockets. It played for about 10 minutes and only contributed 1.8 points per game so far. This performance is worse than O'Neal and his grandmother. .

He also bears the title of "Parallel Import and Export". Now when many media talk about him, they directly use this title instead.

However, Yao Ming knew that for this guy, the frustration in data was not the most fatal. For Milicic, the more frustrated was the spiritual one.

Larry Brown should have no bottom line for his insults now, right?

It’s worth mentioning that the first good person Milicic met in the NBA was Rasheed Wallace. Before Wallace came to the Pistons, the rest of the Pistons were targeted by Larry Brown against Milicic. Because of this, I don’t talk to him very much. Only when Rasheed Wallace came to the Pistons, he took the initiative to chat with him and sometimes comforted him-do you dare to believe it? "Roar Tianzun" actually has the side of a confidant big brother.

But this time, Rasheed Wallace has already gone to the Pacers. Milicic has not even the last light in his life, and the whole person is in darkness.

Yao Ming believes that this guy should already regret going to the Pistons!

I just don’t know how much regret I have already...

The Rockets' entire schedule in March was quite easy. There were basically no strong teams, and they were all big teams going to the lottery zone.

And there is absolutely no possibility of overturning, after all, the other party can lose more than you want.

When the time comes to March, every loss they have now is just like every win of the top 8 East and West teams. They will have a great impact on the final result. They may lose one game less. In the game, the draft picks dropped several places, and the top eight teams may not have the home court advantage because they won one game less.

Also because of the difficulty of losing, the Rockets easily won 5 consecutive victories.

Yao Ming is also very relaxed during this period, almost every two games will enjoy the treatment of "three quarters clocking off work", the average data is stable at "20 plus 10 plus 4 plus 3".

However, Yao Ming knows very well that there is still a "battle" waiting for him to start in the regular season, and it is not yet time for him to relax.

Yao Ming has three main goals this season: winning the championship, regular season MVP and the best defensive player award.

Not to mention winning the championship, we have to continue to fight, but in the playoffs, he does not need to do anything to win the championship at this stage of the regular season.

Then the regular season MVP award, after his efforts in January and February, he has basically won the support of public opinion, and even the outside world has even appeared "unless a team squeezes the Rockets from the league’s first position, Yao Ming’s The regular season MVP will only be threatened.” This shows that he has almost arranged for the regular season MVP awards. Next month, the Rockets only need to keep the league's first place!

But the best defensive player award, he hasn't secured it.

Although previously relying on the suppression of Ben Wallace, it has something to do with this award, and has formed a public opinion that "Yao is more qualified to win this year's Defensive Player award than Ben Wallace."

But this year's "Best Defensive Player" is not Ben Wallace, but Artest!

Yao Ming’s real opponent is him... Fortunately, Artest won the "Best Defensive Player Award" this season, and he did not get it in an absolute crush. Anyway, Yao Ming’s memory, the "Best Defensive Award" The few years that are not at all suspense do not include this one, and among them, Wallace has won the "Best Defensive Player Award" for two consecutive years. Some reporters don't want him to continue to win.

Yao Ming only needs to find a good point, he can still compete with Artest for this award!

He didn't wait too long. In mid-March, Indiana's media began to work hard, saying "Ron is the person most qualified to win the best defensive player award this season!"

After they started to exert their strength, Yao Ming's spirits lifted up, good fellow, finally here!

The final battle of the "Best Defensive Player Award" has officially started!

Yao Ming's plan is also very simple. It is still the previous discussion. On the defensive end, take out data and show performance, especially a few data on the defensive end. That is the criterion for many reporters to judge.

This has to say the story of Marcus Camby winning the "Best Defensive Player Award"...

"Okay, guys, half of the game is over in March, and the playoffs are coming in another month. You had some problems on the defensive end at the beginning of March. I need you guys during the next period of time. To hone the defense, there will be 15 games ahead. I hope you can limit your opponent's score in each game to 85 points or less. I don’t need you to rely on offense to solve the battle. I need to see you take on the defensive end. Out of state!"

What Yao Ming didn’t expect was that when he planned to "swipe" the defensive end of the team training on the second day, Tom "suddenly" asked all the Rockets to devote more energy to the next game. Go to the defensive end.

this……

Yao Ming and Tom looked at each other, and then the two smiled heartily.

Although it has only been two seasons, Yao Ming and Tom obviously have a deep friendship and a good tacit understanding. There are some things that don't need to be said at all. Just look at each other and everything will be clear.

Yao Ming knew that Tom was helping him win the "Best Defensive Player Award"!

Tom is really helping Yao Ming. He wants to see the picture that Yao Ming won both the regular season MVP and the Best Defensive Player award this season, because before him, the Rockets did this by no one else. It is Olajuwon!

Tom saw Olajuwon from Yao Ming, and he also hoped that Yao Ming could do the same thing as Olajuwon back then!

Moreover, he did not deliberately help Yao Ming, but the current situation, Yao Ming really hopes to do this, he will do it, otherwise, he will definitely not do it...

Most importantly, Thibodeau was really not very satisfied with the Rockets' defense during the half-month that just ended in March. For the past two days, I have been talking to him about "the playoffs still depends on defense" and "we can obviously have more In the case of "good defense", something like this happened again, and it happened to "get two birds with one stone"!

The next day, the Rockets ushered in a challenge from the Bucks at home.

The Bucks are now at a critical moment in the fight for tickets to the playoffs. Although they are ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, they are only ahead of the seventh and two games, and only the eighth and four games.

In the case of 15 games before the end of the season.

Each of their current losses will have a great impact on where they can eventually enter the playoffs. Who wants to meet the Pistons and Pacers in the seventh and eighth!

It's better to meet them with the Nets.

At least I don’t feel that there is no hope...

Therefore, even if they are facing the No. 1 Rockets in the league, they have no intention of waiting to lose in this game.

On the contrary, they also think that the Rockets, which have been winning streaks, will be taken lightly because of their previous streaks. Maybe they can steal a victory from the Toyota Center.

Anyway, this is what the Bucks head coach told his players, and the Bucks players also believed it.

How about "silly roezi" are very stupid and naive!

I haven't even heard the phrase "coach's mouth, deceitful ghost".

You know, if the coach’s words are useful, what do the police do?

Of course, they reacted very quickly, and it seemed that the head coach was lying to them. In the first round, the Rockets played a tight defense.

Where does this look like underestimating the enemy?

Or do you call this underestimating the enemy?

The Bucks struggled to cooperate with the Rockets in an unexpected full-court press. In the first round, they almost made mistakes several times.

This kind of cooperation naturally don't want to have a good phone meeting. In the end, the Bucks opened their first offense and ended with a forced shot by Michael Reid himself.

With a sound of "Bang Dang", the ball bounced out!

Yao Ming protected the rebound.

Thibodeau glanced at Tom, with "Are we a bit too much" in his eyes. After all, this is just a team that can't even make it into the top ten in the West!

Tom saw it with gusto.

It seems that "venison" will be eaten tonight!

All Bucks: Are you a human?

"Snapped!"

On the field, the Rockets had already scored a goal in just a dozen seconds, and then restricted the Bucks on the defensive end. Yao Ming made a volleyball cap to directly cover the layup of "Slam Dunk King" Mason. Flew out.

This picture is too "bloody".

Because of Yao Ming's blocked shots, there was a huge cheer at the scene!

The ball flew into Battier's hands.

The Rockets just completed another fast break.

It's easy, 4-0!

But this was just the beginning. In the next three minutes, the Rockets played this offense and defense again and again, until 3 minutes and 14 seconds after the start of the game, the Bucks had not been able to break the Rockets' basket.

On the scoreboard, the number behind the Bucks is still "0".

Now even Tom feels a bit too much!

These guys seem to have played a big game!

But now in this situation, there is no way, he can only say in his heart: if you want to blame, blame you for your bad luck! I just finished mobilizing here, let everyone show some attitude on the defensive end, turned around and met you in the first game, there is no way, I just hope you can be strong!

That is to say, the Bucks didn’t hear Tom’s words. Otherwise, they would have to vomit blood. You can’t stand up and talk. We just scored 3 points in these 5 minutes. These 10 minutes. The scoring has just passed double digits and just scored 32 points after halftime. Tell me, why is this strong?

The Bucks began to doubt their lives.

Including Michael Reid!

Do you know how perverted the Rockets' defense is tonight?

He, Michael Reid, the rising talent pitcher of the league, was forced to make a breakthrough under the suffocating defense of the Rockets... NCAA's Michael Reid knocked on the NBA with a single-handed breakthrough. The door to the career path, but after entering the NBA, he gave up on the breakthrough, and he hasn't gone inside for many years!

Suddenly asked him to carry the explosive bag to kill inside. This question is really a bit super-class... As a result of this fight, Michael Reid suffered three big caps, his eyes were covered with gold stars, and he didn't even shoot from outside. That's it!

In the end, at the Toyota Center, the Rockets won the game by 85 to 71, 14 points.

Just looking at the final data, the Bucks, whether it is the final total score or the loss of the point difference, are actually not very stunned, but in fact, this is the result of the Rockets "release the water", because the last quarter was half of the game. At that time, all the Rockets' main players were replaced by Tom.

Before they were replaced, the Bucks only scored 58 points-they played three and a half quarters and only scored 58 points. That is to say, they only scored about 17 points per quarter...

This can no longer be described as "miserable" alone.

This is really, "too miserable"!

Yao Ming finally played a total of 30 minutes, scored 21 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 blocks. Tonight, like everyone else, he put more energy on the defensive end.

The final gain is quite satisfactory to him. The Bucks players are not expected to score 10 points when facing him on defense, but he himself got 6 blocks, and out of the other 15 rebounds, 10 defensive rebounds... …It can be said that tonight his defensive stats are full!

However, the battle for the "Best Defensive Player Award" has just begun, and the data from the game with the Bucks alone cannot make him a direct victory.

In the next game, he has to continue to work **** the defensive end!

Fortunately, during the next period of time, the Rockets' opponents are not good. Just after playing the Bucks, the Rockets’ next stop is to Los Angeles. Of course, they are not playing the Lakers. They are going to play the Clippers. .

The Clippers are currently ranked first from last in the Western Conference, and this game is obviously a good opportunity to "swipe" the data!

However, Yao Ming obviously forgot. At this time of the season, there are teams like the Clippers. Are they the team that can think of winning?

At the end of the whole game, the Rockets won by 20 points. This is the result of Tom who can't stand it anymore. At the end of the third quarter, they were replaced in advance.

Yes, you are not mistaken. It's not that the Clippers head coach can't stand it anymore, but Tom can't stand it anymore. At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets' lead was already more than 30 points away.

All the Clippers have three words written on their faces: Let me lose!

This kind of team, with such a big victory, can't Tom always keep the Rockets on the court? This "brushing" is a bit too obvious.

For this reason, even if the Rockets eventually completed a unilateral "slaughter" 100-80 in this game, Yao Ming's data today is not conspicuous, "only" got 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Especially in terms of blocked shots, Yao Ming really rarely got 2 blocked shots in a single game this season, basically 3-4.

Also because of the poor blocking data in this game, Yao Ming, who won the game, also seemed a little lacking in interest. This is the most critical time to attack Artest! The data must be eye-catching!

However, after this game, Yao Ming still gained a bit. At least he understands one truth: Sometimes, it is not that the weaker the team is better to use the data, but the team with a little bit of strength is better to use the data. .

A team that is too weak, like the Clippers, is not good at stats...

Learned, learned!

He also took a look at the schedule. Fortunately, the Rockets' opponents in the next few games are pretty good. They are the Jazz, Nuggets, Celtics... They are all for the playoffs. For a desperate team, this group of guys will definitely be desperate when the time comes, and the game will definitely be very anxious. Such a game, the data will be refreshed, and it will definitely be very "eye-catching"!

Sure enough, Yao Ming was right at all. In the Jazz game, he played a total of 34 minutes, and finally "brushed" 6 blocks. His performance on the defense side was also very good, including right Kirilenko's big hat.

From entering the league to the present, "ak47" has "suddenly" a lot of players, it is already considered a small celebrity, and today it can be considered a hand.

Yes, I often walk by the river. How can I not wet my shoes?

He has "suddenly" so many people, it is time to accept some "just trials"!

Yao Ming specially asked the photographer to take this photo after the game!

This must be preserved!

The future President of the Russian Basketball Association was "smashed" by the future President of the China Basketball Association... Many years later, when Kirilenko officially took office, he sent this photo to him!

Think of it as a gift...

Yao Ming is sure that he will definitely be touched.

Maintaining this momentum, Yao Ming won 5 blocks and 6 blocks in the next two games.

Carmelo Anthony fell into the Rockets’ “Iron Barrel” once again. He finally scored 18 points in this game. The numbers are better every time, but the shooting rate is still ugly, only 35%. . So far, Carmelo Anthony has not hit 40% in three games against the Rockets!

After playing this game, Carmelo Anthony finally resigned, and he began to realize that when he faced a defense like the Rockets, there were indeed many problems that needed to be overcome.

During the game, he suddenly felt envy of LeBron James.

Because the latter only needs to play with the Rockets twice a season, but he needs to play with the Rockets three times...

Speaking of Kameni’s poor performance in this game, the Cleveland media, who has been dormant and waiting for an attack, found an opportunity-they were overshadowed by the Denver media last All-Star weekend, they still remember it!

Now the opportunity is here, and of course they have to take this opportunity to get a little bit of Carmelo Anthony!

"This guy hasn't grown much in a season!"

"Face the Rockets again~www.novelmt.com~ his performance is still as bad as ever!"

"Seriously, if LeBron James faced the Rockets now, his performance would definitely be better. Look at his performance against the Rockets for the second time! This proves that LeBron James is better than Came. Ron Anthony is more able to adapt to this alliance!"

While belittling, the Cleveland media has not yet praised LeBron James.

This angered the Denver media and yelled "What a shame!"

No wonder they are so angry. If LeBron James really wants to fight the Rockets, would these guys still say such things?

Really... shameless!

The two sides quarreled happily, and after the Rockets limited the Nuggets and Celtics to 81 and 86 points respectively, their defensive performance during this period and Yao Ming's period Time on the defensive end of the data finally caused the outside world to discuss...
