In the second quarter, Zhou Xuan sat on the bench, and he believed Mitchell? Butler must have had a good time watching this game, because another of Mitchell's clients, Vaughn? Weaver also broke out off the bench.

Weaver is very physical, he was a dunk when he first entered the league, and he developed a three-point shot this year, and Azubuuk couldn't guard him. None of the Warriors' benches took advantage, although Biedrins and Anthony? Randolph was a seven-foot man, but he couldn't break through the defensive line built by Hayes and Landry.

Hayes is not tall, but he has a pair of thick legs, full of strength, good defense in the low post, and is also very aggressive in rebounding. Landry has a strong impact, full of hard work, grabbed the frontcourt rebound twice and succeeded in the second attack, Landry also had a good mid-range shot, if it were not for defensive defects and injury hazards, it would not have been possible to fall to the second round.

Only Brooks played badly off the bench, shooting 0-of-3 and not handing out assists.

Assistant coach Elston's face is very ugly, and even a fool can see that Zhou Xuan is much better than Alston and Brooks. And squeezed out the other rookie Joey left by Zhou Xuan? Dorsey, who has no muscles but no brains, has now been sent to the Development League. Adelman has also rarely spoken to Elston lately, as the entire coaching staff has been scolded for his mistakes.

Now the home fans are talking about it as soon as the timeout arrives, expressing their dissatisfaction with the Rockets' trade.

"Damn, what kind of manager did you change. Billups, Prince, and Wallace choose just two, leaving Maddie as a fool who doesn't play. ”

"Give the All-Stars to the Warriors for nothing, keep Brooks, it's a."

"The starters are all up to Yao Ming, and the substitutes are not good, and there will definitely be no drama this year."

Morey, who is good at budgeting, also gave Elston a black cauldron. He even hated Adelman, but the Rockets were not as domineering as the Knicks, and dared to sign Larry? Brown was immediately laid off and lost tens of millions, so Adelman had to keep going.

In the second half, the two sides changed their main forces, and the Rockets relied on Yao Ming's low-post offense to regain control of the situation, and Battier hit two three-pointers in a row, setting off a scoring frenzy. The Warriors relied on the cooperation of Zhou Xuan and Randolph to bite the score, and the first half ended, 54-57. The Warriors trailed by three points, and the Rockets fans were in a better mood.

At halftime, Nelson Sr. changed his strategy, gave up the bag on Yao Ming, and said: "Go around the front defense, don't let Yao Ming catch the ball easily, if they pass the anti-lob ball, Yao Ming receives it, immediately foul, don't let him score easily." Even if he shoots his free throws accurately, it will take some stamina. When attacking, the positional battle, double blocking, led Yao Ming out from under the basket. Control the tempo on the offensive end, don't worry. ”

The Warriors fought for a while and fought back quickly. It turned out that Battier, Artest, and Alston were quick to return to defense, and the defense was active, making it difficult to play an effective attack. On the contrary, in the positional attack, Zhou Xuan has a way to transfer the ball to hit the opponent's weak link.

On the Rockets' side, Adelman is also emphasizing defense. "Yao, Luis (Scola), if they double block and dismantle, pay attention to blocking Zhou Xuan, he feels good today. On the offensive end, play the ball to the inside first, Ron (Artest), you're very physical, don't always shoot on the outside, go in and play, make fouls, Luis pulls out to cover. Raff (Alstom) passes Yao from the perimeter. ”

In Maddie's absence, the Rockets' offensive focus is completely on the inside, and even if Yao Ming doesn't shoot, he has to keep in positions and respond to the offense, which consumes a lot of physical strength. Nelson Sr.'s strategy is to let Yao Ming shoot more, as long as the score is bitten in the third quarter, and Yao Ming loses his physical strength in the second half of the fourth quarter, the Warriors have a good chance of winning.

Zhou Xuan was not polite because he met his compatriots, and passed the ball with two goals, one was to play Yao Ming in a wrong position, and the other was to play Alston in a wrong position. In the third quarter, Randolph and Margeti played the main offensive tasks, one inside and one outside. The Rockets tactically broke through after Zhou Xuan's blocking, and he reduced his shooting and focused on passing.

Whether it's Alston or Scola, they are struggling to defend against Randolph on the perimeter. Margeti burst into the interior and relied on the strength advantage to be very lethal, resulting in four fouls. In order to protect Yao Ming, Battier, who was in the position, was forced to rest after 4 fouls in the middle of the third quarter.

Adelman gave Weaver more time and deprecated Luther? Hyde. In the past few seasons, both the coaching staff and the fans have been completely disappointed in Hyde, he always drops the chain at critical moments, especially in the playoffs.

Weaver shared some of Yao Ming's offensive pressure from the outside, and after blocking and dismantling, Weaver showed a speed advantage in the face of Randolph, breaking through layups and pull-up jumpers, scoring six points in a row, and the score of the two sides was not opened at the end of the third quarter. 84 to 85.

Yao Ming scored 12 points in a single quarter, grabbed five rebounds, handed out two assists, and had a double-double of 29 points and 11 rebounds in the third quarter. Zhou Xuan did not score in a single quarter, handed out four assists, and scored 15 points, 11 assists and 2 steals.

It was a day of excitement for the Chinese fans, with both stars playing well. There were home fans in the stands holding signs saying "Yao Ming 50 points", hoping that Yao Ming could score high points and lead the team to victory. But in the fourth quarter, the scales of victory began to tip in the Warriors' favor.

Yao Ming was tired, even when he was full of energy, he couldn't prevent blocking and dismantling, and as soon as he was tired, he began to close on the inside line and didn't go out much. Whether it is Margeti or Zhou Xuan, the mid-range shot is good, and if no one steps forward to press after the blocking, it will be a disaster. In the past two seasons, the Rockets often led in the first three quarters and collapsed in the fourth quarter, which was Yao Ming's physical problem. The Rockets need someone to step up and score, but Yao Ming only has a super scoring point.

The Warriors have multiple offensive options, and Randolph and Margeti are both difficult to defend. Biedrins has poor scoring ability, but he is resolute in cutting and can fight for rebounds in the frontcourt.

Van Gundy said: "The Warriors' offensive power has obviously become stronger after Randolph joined, and he and Biedrins and Margeti have very good rebounding, especially frontcourt rebounding, and the Rockets have lost in this regard. Warriors outside players can make bold shots, and if they don't score, they may have a second offense. Adelman used more of a combination of Scola and Landry in the No. 4 position in order to attack, and I think he should give Hayes a little more time. ”

Johnson also felt that the Rockets' interior line was flawed, and said: "I think the Rockets are the right way to trade, and only Yao Ming is a big man on their interior line, and the others are players who are less than 210cm tall." HAYES, WHO IS 198CM TALL, IS A NO. 5 SUBSTITUTE, AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY THINK. And if there is a Turyaf or Anthony in the team? For a big man like Randolph, Yao Ming's pressure will be much less, and the rocket has allowed Yao Ming to keep grabbing positions in the low post, fighting for muscles, and the physical exertion is very large. ”

Yao Ming's focus on the low post began when Van Gundy was a professional teacher, and he encouraged Yao Ming to gain weight to attack under the basket instead of making jumpers in the high post after blocking and pick-and-roll. Although the high block can also score a lot of points, it is not dominant, and it is not as attractive as the low post can attract the bag. However, since gaining weight, Yao Ming has also begun to suffer frequent injuries, and his attendance rate in the first three seasons is very high. For the sake of dominance, he made the wrong choice. In fact, what's so bad about playing pick-and-roll and shooting high posts like Aldridge?

The Rockets' offense was unfavorable, Artest began to attack with the ball, his original intention was good, and he dared to stand up and take responsibility at critical moments. But his shooting percentage is really not high, and his style of play is too simple, taking a step, jumping without throwing off the defense, and after receiving the ball on the outside, he swayed a step forward, and directly pulled out three points, and forced a layup under Margeti's close pressing......

Artest's forced shots regardless of the hit rate seriously damaged the team's cooperation, and he missed 4 shots in a row. On the contrary, the Warriors played steadily and stretched the score to more than 10 points at once. Yao Ming's defense couldn't expand, and the offense couldn't get the ball, and Adelman was unwilling to replace him, forming a hole in the defense. When the Rockets made a change, put Scola in the low post and replaced Battier with Weaver, the momentum was gone.

Zhou Xuan assisted Morrow and Margeti to shoot three points in a row, leading by 15 points and sealing the victory in advance. Both sides sent on the bench to play the game.

Su Qun saw that the Rockets had lost, and sighed: "There are still two minutes left for the Rockets to give up in advance, and the game entered garbage time, and the coaches of both sides replaced a group of garbage players and began to train the team." ”

Yang Jian didn't feel any sense of disobedience in his partner's statement at all, and answered: "Oh, the Warriors are even DeMarcus? Nelson and Hendrix are both on, and it's real garbage time. ”

Both sides did not have a high shooting percentage at the end, and the 124-110 Warriors won three straight games and came out of the shadow of the losing streak. The rockets sank deeper and deeper into the quagmire.

Yao Ming was very depressed after losing, and he was so tired that he didn't even want to raise his head, and after shaking hands with Zhou Xuan, he hurriedly left the court. He finished with 33 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. There were only 4 points in the last quarter.

The Rockets had five players in double figures, with Weaver scoring 22 points, Artest 14, Battier hitting four three-pointers for 12 points and Scola scoring 10 points on six shots.

On the Warriors side, Randolph had 28 points and 12 rebounds, Biedrins had 9 points and 11 rebounds, Margeti had 23 points and 7 rebounds, and Zhou Xuan had 19 points, 2 rebounds, 15 assists and 2 steals. Substitute only Anthony? Randolph scored in double figures, scoring 12 points and grabbing four rebounds.

Su Qun commented after the game: "Although the Rockets lost this game, we can see that Yao Ming's performance is still remarkable, mainly because other role players played too poorly and did not give Yao Ming enough help." Zhou Xuan was also as good as ever, scoring two double-doubles and continuing to lead the assist list. Jackson is out of action, and he's been better in these games. ”

"All-Star voting has begun, and it is expected that two Chinese players will be seen in the All-Star Game for the first time this season, and Zhou Xuan will partner Yao Ming in the West, and fans will be invited to log on to the official NBA website and vote enthusiastically," Yang said. ”

Zhou Xuan was named the best player of the game and won the Chinese derby!
