Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 654: A different Yao Ming

"Yao Ming, Yao Ming..."

In the audience, home fans stood up, shouting Yao Ming's name, cheering for Yao Ming's comeback.

In the past few years, Yao Ming and McGrady, the "Yao-Mai combination" have been Houston's business card and the soul of the Rockets. But in the first half of this year, McGrady was traded to the Knicks, and the "Yao-Mai combination" ended. , Yao Ming is the only one left in Houston.

Therefore, countless Rockets fans are very excited to see Yao Ming's comeback. Some people think of the "Yao-Mai combination" of the past, and even can't help crying.

McGrady is gone, can Yao Ming still carry this team?

"I'm back." Yao Ming waved his hand and greeted the audience. He whispered in a low voice, his mood was also very complicated.

Even though Yao Ming would accompany the Rockets in every home game and even away game before the Rockets, sitting on the bench to cheer for his teammates.

But that can only be regarded as an audience.

Today, it is the first time he has returned as a player after a year of truce, to welcome his first game after his comeback, and the emotion in his heart can be imagined.

It took a long time before the audience became quiet.

Qin Hao walked towards Yao Ming and hugged him. He was also a little excited. He has been looking forward to this game for a long time: "Brother Ming, it looks like you are in a better spirit."

After a few months, Yao Ming has become thinner, but he is not weak and thin, but he is thinner like Garnett, and his skin has turned black a lot. Yao Ming was very white before.

However, Qin Hao could see that Yao Ming is in good condition, full of energy, steady on his feet, and his physical injury should have really recovered.

"Haha." Yao Ming patted Qin Hao on the back, his eyes filled with gratification, "You kid can, and I didn't disappoint. No, you have greatly exceeded my expectations. I thought it would take a while for you to get used to the NBA. , I didn’t expect you to adapt to the NBA so quickly. Recently, you averaged 20+ per game, which is much better than when I was back then."

In 2002, Yao Ming averaged 13.5 points and 8.2 rebounds in his rookie season.

However, in the 2002 rookie class, they are already one of the best two. Stoudemire, who won the best rookie in the end, averaged only 13.5 points per game, but he averaged 0.6 more rebounds per game than Yao Ming.

Later, in the All-Star vote, Yao Ming was directly sent to the starting lineup, making Stoudemire's "Rookie of the Best" taste a little dull, and even more angry O'Neal was furious.

Yao Ming said that he was humble, but in fact his rookie season was also very good.

It's just that Qin Hao's recent average of 20+ per game, and at least 5 assists per game, and 5 rebounds per game, the data is still inferior.

"Brother Ming, don't boast, it won't be too late when I win Griffin." Qin Hao was a little embarrassed.

"Haha, okay, I'll wait." Yao Ming smiled: "I'll say it again when you win Griffin and win the "Best Rookie"."

After some reminiscence, the two returned to their teammates to start the warm-up before the game.

Yao Ming has lost a lot of weight now, but his footwork and shooting feel are still there. I saw him practicing shooting on the court, looking for shooting feel.

Here, Qin Hao is also practicing shooting, mainly three-pointers.

"Huh, huh..."

With his shots and hits, Qin Hao raised the corners of his mouth, and he was in a good mood. Today's hand feels pretty good. For the first time against Ming Ge, he can't be too dishonest.

......

The warm-up is over, the players from both sides return to the sidelines, and the game is about to begin.

On the 76ers side, Coach Collins spread out his tactical board with a solemn expression, and emphasized: "You must pay attention to rebounds. Each of you must fight for rebounds. Don't just look at it. Also, shrink the line of defense. Seeing Yao holding the ball in the low post, he went up to help defend."

Although Yao Ming truce for a year, it is difficult to say how much the state has recovered, but Coach Collins dare not take it lightly. After all, he is an All-Star player.

It's the inside line that makes him depressed.

Looking at some of his own insiders, Coach Collins shook his head. Hawes and Nocinho can't count on it. Speights has played well in the recent period, but after all, he is only 23 years old and not mature enough. Regardless of personal ability or the state of the game, they are somewhat unstable.

As for Batty, it's about the same as Hawes.

With this kind of inside configuration, against the Rockets with Yao Ming and Scola, even if Yao Ming has just returned from a truce for a year and his state has not recovered, after all, his height is there, and his rebounding will definitely be at a loss.

"Hey, when will this problem be solved?" Coach Collins sighed secretly.

He has long reflected to the team management, suggesting to trade an excellent insider to make up for the team's weakness, but so far there is no progress for it.

The Rockets are here.

Head coach Rick Adelman also made some arrangements. Their advantage lies in the interior, but considering that Yao Ming has just returned, coach Adelman did not put him too much pressure: "Yao, take advantage of your height, Protect your rebounds. As for the offense, let’s take your time. You have just returned, so don’t worry."

"Understand." Yao Ming nodded.

The whistle sounded and the game officially started.

Players from both sides came to the field, the 76ers are still the regular starters, without Qin Hao.

The Rockets started with center Yao Ming, power forward Luis Scola, small forward Sean Battier, shooting guard Kevin Martin, and point guard Kyle Lowry.

First, he jumped the ball. Yao Ming’s height was placed there. With the weight loss now, the take-off height was higher than before. He easily jumped to the ball and slapped the ball into the backcourt.

Lowry controlled the basketball and began to attack.

The 76ers set up their defense. After Lowry came to the frontcourt, he asked for a pick-and-roll first, but he didn't have a direct chance to score. He passed the ball back to Yao Ming at the top of the arc, and Yao Ming lifted the ball after receiving the ball. The middle distance was still very accurate, and Hawes subconsciously rushed forward and jumped to block the cover.

But the next moment, Yao Ming put the ball down and hit the floor.

"What?" Hawes was taken aback. He didn't expect Yao Ming to break through. This is not Yao Ming's style of play.

Not only Hawes, but even the Rockets fans in the audience were surprised. In the past, Yao Ming mostly played low singles, or turned over jumpers, or hooks, or received the ball from the basket and scored points. Even when it comes to high picks and rolls, teammates pass the ball back to him, most of the time they shoot directly.

After all, the height is there, it is difficult for the defender to block.

Yao Ming hardly breaks through. Because of his height and weight, his speed is too slow, and his dribble is too high and he is easily intercepted.

But this time, he chose to break through...
