The Chinese men's basketball team, which has four active NBA players, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and Sun Yi, is at the pinnacle of the history of Oriental Dragon basketball. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the start of the 08-09 season, CCTV Sports Channel fell into the trouble of happiness when choosing which live broadcasts to broadcast. However, the game between the Rockets, Knicks, and Nets, the three teams with Chinese players, will definitely be circled in advance.

April 1, April Fool's Day in the West. The Houston Rockets, who are third in the West, moved to the Big Apple to challenge the New York Knicks, who have also been in excellent form recently.

Coincidentally, the core players of the two teams have just won the title of East and West Player of the Month in March. This competition, which has countless highlights, has become the focus of discussion among all fans on the other side of the ocean. Aside from the Chinese factor in this game, the confrontation between the league's No. 1 center and the representative of the super platinum generation alone has attracted worldwide attention.

The Houston Rockets, Maddy, who has been out for most of the season due to a back injury, is still far away. However, judging by the team's performance so far, his absence has stimulated the potential of other teammates.

After Alston left the team, the 'little potato' Brooks who sat firmly in the main position and the thick and steady Kyle. Lowry became the Rockets' primary point guard option.

Artest, the league's top forward swingman, is the most important player on the team except for super center Yao Ming. His performance today can be said to be crucial for the Rockets who are fighting away from home.

Former Duke star player Sean. Battier is one of the favorite American stars of countless Chinese rocket fans. Although his athleticism has declined significantly after a serious injury, Battier, as a Duke, can make up for his shortcomings with a super defensive awareness.

Luis Luiz, the representative of Argentina's golden generation. Scola is the interior firepower that coach Adelman relies on very much. This all-round power forward is proficient in throwing and cutting.

Rising star Dwight has just finished blowing up in the last game. Howard's Chinese super center Yao Ming not only fulfilled the potential of the original champion but also exceeded many people's expectations.

The Rockets were able to finish first in the league last month. Delhi, Vaughn. Weaver, veteran center Mutombo, Chuck. Hayes also contributed to it.

On the Knicks' side, Serbian handsome guy Darko, who has been out for nearly a month due to injury. Milicic finally passed the team doctor's physical examination before this game, and his physical condition met the requirements of the game. The home team, which is not plagued by injuries, can go all out to win this crucial battle.

The starting line-ups for both teams are as follows. Home team: Sun Yi, Richardson, Chandler, David. Lee, Kwamei. Brown. Away: Brooks, Artest, Battier, Scola, Yao Ming.

It can be said that the layout of the two sides, the vast majority of people will guess. The only uncertainty is whether Adelman will emulate Celtics coach Doug. Rivers, in the last game, sacrificed a full-court double package tactic for Chinese player Sun Yi.

Once the game begins, the mystery is quickly revealed.

The Knicks, who first got possession of the ball, were attacked by the Chinese rookie with the ball. Judging by the opponent's positioning, the Rockets' defensive strategy today is a typical man-to-man defense. Not only did they not mean to wrap up Sun Yi, but they even asked Brooks, who is more than 1.8 meters tall, to sit with him.

The mustache who stood on the sidelines and commanded the team after seeing this situation. While breathing a sigh of relief in my heart, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Don't regret it, Rick!

Adelman, in front of the visiting coach's box, seemed to hear D'Antoni's heart. The coach of the Rockets, who was standing with his arms crossed, showed a weird smile in the direction of the home team's coach's box.

The first quarter of the game has completely become a stage for ******** top players to show their abilities.

Yao Ming, who had just finished educating Howard, faced the average Kwamei. Brown, scoring is as easy as it is in training. Back hits, turnaround jumpers, small hooks, and dreamy footsteps under the basket......

Since joining the Knicks in the middle of the season, the '01 No. 1 rookie who averaged 10 points and 10 rebounds per game has not been as embarrassed as it is today. After only 6 minutes of the game, the Knicks' main center, who was mentally unbalanced, had to be replaced by the head coach due to 2 personal fouls.

Milicic, who replaced Brown, was purely a desperate move by D'Antoni. The other party is too high, if let David. Li went to guard against Yao Ming, and the effect was estimated to be worse.

Although the Knicks penalty area was tossed by the Chinese super center, the Rockets who were playing away are also uncomfortable.

Sun Yi, a Chinese teenager who experienced the Celtics' last strict defense, suddenly has such ample freedom today, how can he let go of this opportunity to regain face.

Poor Aaron. Brooks, very bad luck indeed. The other party was high in the air, and he only had to look at it with a wry smile. This is nothing, Sun Yi pouted his ass and arched into the forbidden area, which was the most helpless and depressed moment for 'Little Potato'. He felt like a bitch, obviously being raped, but he couldn't say no yet. Suffering deflated on defense, Brooks was prepared. But when attacking, he was blocked by the opponent for two consecutive shots, and was quickly replaced by Lowry.

The starting point guard of the Rockets, who was sitting on the bench and covering his head with a towel, whispered: Don't look at your fun now, let's see.

21 to 20! When the two rotations came out, the Knicks led by one point. The two Chinese players accounted for more than half of the scores. Yao Ming 11 points, Sun Yi 12 points.

Such a game made Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean addicted. And when Sun Yi and Yao Ming went off the pitch, there was also a Hebei guy Sun Yue who was very popular with female fans on the field.

The team's previous ten-game winning streak has little to do with Sun Yue, a Chinese player who is in a period of adjustment. Due to his average form, his playing time has also been greatly shortened by the coaching staff. However, in today's game against the Rockets, the thoughtful D'Antoni unexpectedly scheduled him to play in the first quarter.

Sun Yue, who turned surprise into motivation, lived up to the expectations of the coach and fans. As the team's point guard, he just got on the court and passed Shannon to Shannon on a fast break. Brown completes the dunk.

Immediately afterward, he sliced out Kerry on the defensive end. The ball in Lowry's hand played a wonderful one-stop fast attack. It seems that Sun Yue's previous state broke out in this focus battle.

After four minutes in the second quarter, when the main lineups of the two sides appeared one after another, relying on the excellent play and scheduling of Chinese player Sun Yue, the New York Knicks had a slight advantage in the competition of the rotation lineup of the two teams.

30 to 26! The home team is temporarily ahead.

When Sun Yi attacked with the ball, he found that the person opposite him became Duke University senior Battier. Against this kind of master defender, the young Chinese youngster is ready to use his athleticism to outperform the opponent to solve the problem.

Backbite!

The Knicks' No. 8 player, who had just accelerated, crashed headlong into Battier's arms. The experienced Duke seniors fell on their backs with some exaggeration.

At the same time as the referee blew the whistle, he made a gesture to hit the man with the ball.

Woo......!

The audience expressed strong dissatisfaction with Battier's skillful acting skills. They all made thumb-down movements, and the referees, who were affected by the atmosphere at home, hurriedly gathered together and bit their ears.

"Pay attention to Sean's movements, don't be fooled by that kid." The experienced first referee of the match whispered with his two partners in his arms.

"It was really an offensive foul just now." The young newcomer to the refereeing profession still insists on his own opinion.

"Yes, you were right. However, we need to keep up with the situation in the alliance. ”

With the increasing number of NBA international players, the phenomenon of fake falls, which is common in many European arenas, has begun to proliferate in the American professional basketball team that advocates confrontation. In order to curb this bad habit that is not conducive to the spectacle of the game, the crackdown on fake falls has recently been intensified.

The first referee of this game, who has worked in the league for many years, understands this policy - it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one. As long as a player makes an exaggerated performance in the game, regardless of whether it is a foul or not, it will be ignored, and it may even be awarded a defensive foul.

The deliberation of the three referees was only a short moment. The foul decision was not changed and the game continued.

The Chinese giant, who rested for a few minutes off the bench, immediately became the offensive core of the Rockets after returning to the court. Leaning on Kwame in the Knicks restricted area. Yao Ming, who asked for the ball from Brown, immediately found the empty Scola with a back-of-head pass after receiving Artest's lob and helped his teammates score an easy layup.

The two managers standing on the sidelines reacted diametrically opposed in an instant.

Rick. Adelman tried his best to control the smug smile on his face when he saw his team's wonderful combination, but the clenched hands in front of his abdomen showed how happy he was with the attack.

Seeing Knicks head coach D'Antoni, who was completely abused by the Rockets, showed a helpless wry smile, he simply sat back in his coach's seat and discussed countermeasures with his assistants.

Super center Yao Ming has become an inexplicable existence in the league after the big shark O'Neal has aged. With the exception of the Lakers' Pau Gasol, who occasionally causes some trouble for the moving Great Wall, other teams can only hope that Maddy will return sooner and become the core of the Rockets again.

Ideas are full, but reality is often not as good as it should be. The former league scoring champion's back injury was enough to destroy Maddie's entire career, but people didn't know it.

Moving back to the game, it was the home team's turn to attack.

Due to the Rockets' tight defense, the ball passed several times between the Knicks' outside players and returned to Sun Yi's hands. With a glimpse of the few rounds remaining, some of the unbelieving Chinese rookies continued to challenge his college seniors.

In the NBA for nearly a season, Sun Yi's technical style has become more and more simple and practical. The disguised acceleration between the marches left most defenders helpless, and this guy was just too fast.

However, as the predecessor of the Knicks Scout Show, Sean. Battier has also been trained in the devilish style of Coach Collins. The Rockets, who had already completed their defense, predicted Sun Yi's breakthrough direction in advance and stood in a defensive position.

The Chinese youngster, who had just completed the disguised preparation for acceleration, did not look up and knew that he had not gotten rid of the opponent's marking. At the moment when he was about to crash into Battier, the strong waist and abdominal muscles exerted force again, and he moved sideways for half a step to avoid the opponent's body. At this point, the contest between the two Duke University brothers has been decided.

When Sun Yi was about to kill into the forbidden area, he felt someone make slight contact with his body. Immediately afterward, I heard an 'ah' sound of pain.

Backbite!

The whistle of the first referee sounded in the moment at the end of Battier!

Woooooo

There was a deafening boo at the Madison Garden Square Arena!

The Chinese teenager looked at the university brother lying on the floor in pain, and spread his hands with an incredible expression. Eldest brother! You're exaggerating, aren't you?

The first referee of this game saw very clearly the confrontation between the two players just now. He made a two-fold gesture and the Rockets blocked the foul.

Woooooo

The boos from the fans were louder, but this time it was against Battier, who had just been pulled up by his teammates.

The Rockets' defensive master, who looked innocent, walked to the referee with his palms together and shrugged his shoulders...... At this time, Battier seemed to have forgotten the 'great pain' he had just endured because of the referee's decision.

This little episode did not affect the progress of the game, but it disrupted Sun Yi's rhythm. In the second quarter of the game, the Knicks Tanhua Xiu fell into an entanglement with his college brothers, and his offensive efficiency decreased significantly.

And the Rockets, under the leadership of super center Yao Ming, have a combination of internal and external tactics. Suddenly, he hit a three-pointer from the outside, and suddenly the home team's penalty area was a mess.

Under the situation of this and the other, the away team with the score behind gradually took advantage of the field. And before the end of the first half, Yao Ming, who grabbed the rebound in the front court, hit a rebound to overtake the score.

43 to 42!

42！ That's a fairly normal score for most teams in the league. But for Knicks coach D'Antoni, who advocates offense, it is a little unacceptable. Mustache is well aware that if his team wants to make the playoffs, it must compensate for a defense that is below the league average with unstoppable offense.

However, the Rockets, who have super center Yao Ming, completely control the sky in the two restricted areas. 28-16 This is a comparison of the rebounding points of the first two quarters between the two sides. Without rebounds, there is no fast break. This is the eternal truth of basketball.

The stormy fast-break tactics couldn't be played, and the New York Giants hung in the air.

The Knicks coach, who didn't come up with any good solutions at halftime, can only encourage the players from the mental level, and these chicken soup for the soul is better than nothing for the Knicks boys who were depressed throughout the first half. (To be continued.) )
