"Charles, just tell us what kind of level Yao Ming can play in the end in your heart......" Kenny Smith asked with a bitter face.

"Who can say for sure? But I feel like he deserves a chance to be a starting All-Star in the East! ”

"Let's wait and see, Yao Ming will definitely surprise us!"

……

If Richard knew that Barkley was so praising Yao Ming, he would probably be laughing and crying.

……

After a few rounds on the court, the 76ers showed good outside offensive firepower.

Nash's defense at the moment is indeed quite good, but it is unrealistic to lock up Iverson, allowing Iverson to score four points in a row.

As for Dazhi, he also attached great importance to this game tonight, hitting two three-pointers from the outside.

Dazhi is really a little unsolvable......

An outside anti-aircraft gun with a height of more than seven feet made the opposing Gerrard a little desperate.

It's really hard to defend, as long as he gets the ball, Dazhi immediately soars three points, so that Gerrard's defensive strength has nowhere to show.

……

In the 76ers' offensive round, Iverson broke through with the ball, and after passing Nash's defense, he was about to go deep into the restricted area.

Clark rushed out as soon as possible to make up the defense.

His athleticism and size have well suppressed the momentum of Iverson's breakthrough, and Iverson does not dare to hold it up in the face of such a physically strong big man.

A through ball that went straight to Coleman, who was in the open space near the three-second zone.

Coleman was about to dunk the ball when he received it, but then an overwhelming black shadow made him scream badly.

I saw Coleman's violent dunk directly slapped on the rebound by Yao Ming.

And Coleman himself was directly knocked to the ground by this block......

Although he was not injured, it was humiliating enough, as a veteran who had been in the league for more than ten years, he was directly capped by a newcomer, and he suddenly lost face.

If it had been left to the previous seasons, Coleman could have been in trouble with his opponents.

But now that he has been defeated by reality, he has long lost the temper he had before.

The fans at the scene applauded, and Yao Ming's strong block directly detonated the audience.

It has been almost half a quarter of the game since the opening, and Yao Ming's strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is quite strong!

It can't even be described as tough, it's invincible!

Teylon-Hill, who was opposite Yao Ming, didn't score a point at the moment, and Coleman finally got a chance to make a shot just now, but he was rewarded with a block by Yao Ming!

These two former All-Star veterans can be said to have suffered a lot tonight.

In just half a quarter of the game, Yao Ming has already recorded 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.

4 of 6 shots, and the outside also played a 2+1, and the offensive end was quite stable.

As for rebounding, 4 rebounds in the half quarter is also quite an outstanding performance!

Richard sat on the sidelines and nodded his head in praise, Yao Ming's performance tonight was quite mature......

Not at all like a newcomer who has just entered the NBA.

But it's very normal to think about it, Yao Ming is about to be 22 years old now, which is definitely an older rookie among newcomers.

In addition, he has also played for many years on the domestic and international stage, and it is completely normal for him to be mature on the court at the moment.

As for Yao Ming's abnormality before the rookie season under normal circumstances, in Richard's view, it may be an environmental aspect.

With Yao Ming's real strength, even if there is no hard smashing of Richard's various props, in fact, it will not only have 0 points and 2 rebounds.

If it is really so watery, it is impossible to play 30+16 or 27+18 big data in the rookie season.

……

"Doot toot!" The Philadelphia 76ers called a timeout.

They didn't fall behind by many points, as the two teams were almost tied at the moment due to the excellent performance of the twin stars.

To be precise, the current Iverson and Dazhi can no longer be said to be twin stars, after all, they are not new stars, and it is more appropriate to call them double guns.

……

Although the two sides were almost tied, Carlisle was not happy with the situation!

You know, this is just a draw when Philadelphia's twin guns play a little extraordinary.

What if the next two guns don't play well enough? Didn't that mean they were going to be slaughtered by the pistons?

Although he has a good relationship with Richard, he doesn't want to see Richard lead his team to slaughter his own team!

From the sidelines, Carlisle was clearly aware of the problems with their 76ers.

That is, the defensive intensity of the interior line is not good, and it is basically to the point where Yao Ming can do whatever he wants.

In particular, the height of the inside line is not high, Teylonhill is only 206 cm, and Coleman is not much better, only 208 cm.

The inside lineup composed of these two people is really too short in front of Yao Ming.

In addition, both of them are old men, and their athletic ability has decayed greatly, causing Yao Ming to basically ignore the existence of these two people.

"Munch, next you play as a center forward, there is only one task, which is to defend the opponent's Yao Ming!"

"Play to your advantage, squeeze Yao Ming out of the restricted area and out of the paint area for me!"

Carlisle is a well-known coach who discovered the problem in a short period of time and came up with the best solution for the 76ers right now.

Take advantage of Battle's power and squeeze Yao Ming out of his comfortable position.

……

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's timeout, Richard also made some changes to the Pistons lineup on the court.

Took Gerrard and replaced him with Anderson, the birdman.

Gerrard was put on the field and went to the opposite of Dazhi, which was really a bit too much of a loss.

On the contrary, it was Birdman Anderson who came to counterpoint Dazhi, and he would definitely receive good results.

This is a big man who can run and jump, and when used to defend Dazhi, the effect will definitely be better than Gerrard.

In addition to replacing Gerrard, Ragabel was also replaced by Richard and replaced by Hu Weidong.

Since it is a Chinese derby, Hu Weidong has not been allowed to play, so it is not a problem......

Anyway, the 76ers' quarterback Snow is not their main point of attack.

……

The timeout ended, and both sides returned to the pitch.

Seeing Carlisle replaced Battle, Richard laughed, now it's okay, the four Chinese players on the field have become a real derby.

In an NBA main game, there were four NBA players, which was something that Richard could never have dreamed of in his previous life.

Now with Richard's crossing, history has been changed.

Unconsciously, more Chinese men's basketball players have emerged on the NBA stage......

This is not something that Richard did on purpose, but just took advantage of the trend, such as signing Hu Weidong, which was really not in Richard's previous plan.

That is, when recruiting Birdman Anderson, he happened to think of this stubble.

……

But it didn't take a few rounds for Richard's smile to fade.

Because Battle still caused a lot of trouble to Yao Ming, mainly because the gap in strength was a bit big.

It's nothing on the defensive end, after all, Battle doesn't even have a chance to touch the ball, and Yao Ming doesn't need to defend Battle at all.

There are some troubles on the offensive end, and Battle's formidable strength, without exaggeration, may be the strongest player in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team so far.

It is very likely that Yao Ming, who has grown to the peak, is not as strong as Battle in terms of strength!

Normally, after Battle's rookie season with the Nuggets, it was the Spurs who made a trade and got Battle from the Nuggets.

And the reason why the Spurs want Battle is because of Battle's strong strength.

Popovich wanted to find a blue-collar meat shield for Duncan as a way to limit Laker O'Neal's play......

Under normal circumstances, this era can be said to be the world of the Spurs and the Lakers.

They are the biggest competitors, and O'Neal is miserable for Popovich, and he is not willing to miss any way to limit O'Neal.

Of course, the plan to use Battle to limit O'Neal didn't take too long, mainly because Battle couldn't adapt to the Spurs' system......

Later, in the 03-04 season, when Battle played for the Raptors, there was an incident of knocking down O'Neal with one arm, which is probably the highlight of Battle's career.

Decades later, photos of that time can still be found on the Internet.

Even if this defensive round is a malicious foul, you can see the strength of Battle's power.

Now Battle relies on his tonnage and strength that surpasses Yao Ming a lot, directly squeezing Yao Ming, squeezing him away from the three-second zone, and not giving Yao Ming a chance to catch the ball under the basket.

It's not that Yao Ming can't continue to score, after all, the mid-range shooting ability of 90 points in one hand is there.

But if you want to continue to maintain the offensive efficiency of the first half of the game, you can't just rely on mid-range shots.

Richard sat on the sidelines, watching Yao Ming's offensive efficiency decline, but he was not in a hurry.

This situation was exactly what Richard had expected.

What you can think of, the managers of other teams can think of, let alone a coach like Carlisle.

……

Judging from the current situation, it will take time for Yao Ming to have the destructive power of the basket like O'Neal, and Yao Ming needs to continuously increase his tonnage and strength.

Nine minutes into the first quarter, Richard made a substitution, replacing Yao Ming with Oku, who has the ability to shoot from a distance.

After playing nine minutes in the first quarter, Yao Ming made 6 of 10 shots and hit a free throw to score 13 points.

The first 6 put in the account for 9 points, and the last 4 put in the account for 4 points.

Judgment from above......

Even so, Yao Ming's 13 points in a single quarter is already quite good, and few newcomers can score 13 points in a single quarter in their debut.

There are still three quarters left in the game, and Richard feels that Yao Ming's data will definitely not be bad tonight!

Carlisle's side also took Dazhi.

Under the defense of Birdman Anderson, Dazhi's offensive efficiency during this period was not high.

Coincidentally, under normal circumstances, the Philadelphia 76ers brought in Keith Van Horn this season......

In fact, if there is anyone in this league who is most similar to Dazhi's style of play, I am afraid that Keith Van Horn can definitely rank first.

It's just that Dazhi is better than Van Horne.

……

By the time the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first quarter, the Pistons fans at the scene were all relieved.

They were originally very nervous, for fear that Yao Ming, the champion chosen by Richard, would be a parallel import.

There are really a lot of parallel goods that have emerged in the past two years......

Olovo Kandi and Kwame Brown are both parallel champions who have emerged in recent years.

Perhaps in the entire history of the NBA, this period is the period of the highest occurrence of parallel imports.

……

But the first quarter was over, and these fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The performance of 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block in a single quarter has nothing to do with parallel imports, in this form, the Pistons are definitely a treasure this time!

Parallel importers have one thing in common, that is, the technology is very rough.

This was fulfilled in Olovo Kandi, Kwame Brown, and Bennett, the biggest thug of later generations.

However, Yao Ming's performance in the first section is completely unrelated to rough characters.

A very good mid-range shooting ability, even if he squeezed out his comfortable shooting position for Battle, it was 2 of 4 shots, reaching a 50% shooting rate.

In the first half quarter of the game, Yao Ming also showed solid basic skills at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!

So no matter how you look at it, Yao Ming can't be a parallel import.
