The great Celestial Empire fans once made an image analysis of the three NBA teams in Texas and raised this analysis to a theoretical level, that is, the legendary three major illusions of Texas: the Spurs are old, the Mavericks are weak, and the Rockets are strong. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The order of these three illusions can be reversed, but the meaning is basically not biased.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and at least today's Rockets don't look like a pseudo-powerhouse at all.

It was destined to be a tough game for the Eagles, back-to-back, and with the long flights, it was a big test of their fitness.

After the start of the second quarter, Erniu and Er Sen got a little rest as usual.

In the case of the Eagles, they did not play their main force, but instead recovered some points.

Because there is one person on the Rockets team who is holding back, he is the former two-time scoring champion, the creator of 35.13 seconds, and the cousin of Vince Carter - Tracy McGrady.

Maddie's dry pull is still ecstatic, but she is plagued by back injuries and knee injuries, and there is no way to get herself back to her best condition.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Marvin Williams, who was quite depressed in the first quarter of the game, hit a shot from the head of Carl Landry, the first pick in the second round of the year, to close the score for the Hawks.

At this time, the divine bird in the mouth of the Celestial Empire fans is just a standard colander on the defensive end.

On the surface, Zaza Pachulia seems to be in a better position, and behind him is the legendary league's shortest starting center - Chuck Hayes.

Hai Ye's next plate is too solid, not to mention Pachuria, even O'Neill may not be able to squeeze in.

Zaza Pachulia finally got the ball in the low post, thinking that he could single the opponent once, but he was squeezed by Haiye and almost lost his position, and finally ended the offense with a sloppy mid-range shot, and the rebound also went to the Rockets.

Thinking about the 198cm Hai Ye can become a back killer on the defensive end, many Celestial Empire fans who are not optimistic about Erniu at the beginning of the season are also relieved, and the creature of the short and strong rebounding monster is indeed a little difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Erniu and Misery were substituted in the middle of the second quarter.

Now it's Erniu's turn to confront Hai Ye, a top low-post defender.

The Eagles possessed the ball, Ruan Erniu received the ball in the low post, and Hayes withstood him.

Ruan Erniu took two steps inward, and he could indeed move it, but Erniu understood better that at this rate, it would be difficult to reach the ideal scoring position if his back was more than five seconds.

In this case, Ruan Erniu immediately took two steps back with the ball, and dribbled the ball under the crotch continuously, changing the back attack to the basket attack mode.

Hai Ye stepped forward to defend, and Erniu easily passed him in one step, facing Landry to score 2+1.

This is the all-round aspect of Erniu, although his back body skills have always been supergiant, it does not mean that he does not have reliable basket skills.

Being able to freely switch their own offensive mode according to the form on the court and the type of opponent is something that Erniu gradually figured out after losing to Tim Duncan at the beginning of the season.

Unconsciously, the rookie of the Celestial Empire is still making continuous progress.

Others only see his B.T-level physical fitness, but often ignore his B.T-level learning and evolutionary ability. And the latter may be the real reason why he said he could become one of the league's top superstars in his rookie season.

Seeing that the momentum was turning back to the Hawks' side, Adelman quickly called a timeout.

"Yao, increase your offensive firepower, and the others try to open up space and cooperate with Yao's offense!"

Without Divac and Chris Webber's gang, he had no choice but to use the set left by Jeff Van Gundy to build the Rockets' lineup.

As Maddy's injury worsens, Yao Ming has become Adelman's lifeline, the problem is that Da Yao is also an injury-ridden guy, and this season, Da Yao's average playing time has exceeded 37 minutes per game, which is the longest playing time of his career.

Da Yao's injury is destined to be a time bomb, and there is always an inexplicable apprehension in the hearts of Celestial Empire fans.

However, Erniu didn't have time to worry about Da Yao's injury, because he was blown up during the time when Da Yao first came on the field.

As the big brother of the national team, Da Yao didn't give Erniu any affection, and in this Celestial Derby, Da Yao continued the crazy feeling of the first quarter in the second quarter of the game.

There was no fear in the face of Erniu's defense, and then he used his unparalleled shooting touch many times to maintain the lead score for the Rockets.

Erniu's protection did his best, but Da Yao's backward jumper still didn't solve the world.

This has never happened before this season, and for the first time the Hawks will see someone who can beat Kraft unilaterally. You must know that most of the time, what they see is the drama of Erniu beating up the opponent.

Woodson had to call a timeout.

As soon as Er Niu returned to the bench, he was sprayed in the face by the egg head: "Damn, Kraft, cheer me up, why don't you defend well? Since you can't defend your compatriot behind your back, then just take the defense around the front before the ball reaches his hand, and consume his energy." ”

Ruan Erniu nodded, agreeing with Egg Head's opinion.

Under normal circumstances, in the United States, the side that takes the initiative to defend around the front is a sign of weakness, but Erniu doesn't care about this, and victory is his only pursuit.

From the accumulation of defense again and again, Erniu slowly found it back in Da Yao's body.

The defense stabilized his position, forcing Da Yao to be almost unavailable for a while. On the offensive end of the Hawks' own, Erniu didn't dare to play any tricks, either hitting in the high post again and again, or using his hips to eat Da Yao in the low position, without the idea of respecting the old and loving the young.

The current world report is still fast, and the smooth ride of Da Yao just now has become a defensive hole, and Ruan Erniu has been used by Ruan Erniu to open the way with his hips many times, and has scored points.

"Erniu, don't be too happy, our teammates also have low-level back-to-back masters who don't lose to you. Yao Ming said with a smile.

Is this Da Yao's bluff?

Of course not, Adelman quickly played the card.

This man is the veteran of the Trail Blazers, Bunch Wales, and another figure who is begging for food in the league with his hips.

Wales, who continued to die last season, have gradually found their former form this season under the activation of Rick Adelman.

In the second season, the direct victim of his position became a lunar eclipse.

Although Bunch's P shares are still a little worse than Erniu, and his back body skills are not so comprehensive, but under the force of ten meetings, the lunar eclipse was still blown up in this section of the game.

Bunch Wales shot 2-of-2 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line in the first quarter to score nine points, four rebounds, and four assists.

It was thanks to Wales' excellent play that the two teams ended up in a 25-25 tie in the second quarter.

46:56, this is the scoring statistics of the two teams in the half, and the Hawks who are playing away are still 10 points behind, behind the Rockets.

Erniu scored 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists in the first half.

Yao Ming's first-half statistics were 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist.

In terms of data, Ruan Erniu still has a little advantage, but in fact, in the first half alone, Da Yao's dominance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends obviously gave the team more help, which is not reflected in the data. (To be continued.) )
