The battle of Tianwang Mountain hid Yang Yiming, the scorer of the previous G4, and although the game was won, Coach D'Antoni's decision was still very sudden. At the most critical moment of the team's championship, the much-anticipated finals stage, a team's previously highly used players were rotated, which will definitely cause infinite discussion among the spectators.

What's more, this player is Yang Yiming, a Chinese rookie who already has many fans. His future tugs at the heartstrings of countless people.

So why did he lose his G5 in the snow?

I, the author, have excerpted a few comments from the famous domestic basketball community Tiger Pounce, and I may be able to see some clues from them.

- Strength Analysis:

"Yang Yiming's removal is, of course, from the consideration of strategic layout.

On the one hand, the G4 game has proven that when the Rockets can't open the situation, chase points, or need someone to lead the rhythm, Dr. Yang alone is not enough, or even completely ineffective. It can be seen that the Rockets' shooting rate in the first half was too low, and the whole team, including Dengge, had no feeling, which made the famous coach D'Antoni helpless. No matter what happened in the locker room at halftime, anyway, the coach's last way to become a dead horse was to replace Yang Yiming as the main attacker, surround him with all the staffing and strategic resources, and give him unlimited firing rights.

In terms of individual scores, Yang Yiming succeeded. He scored nine points in the first half and 29 in the second half, more than the rest of the team combined. As a scorer, this is undoubtedly an outstanding palmares. He is not far from the 50+ score in the finals that he boasted on Weibo Q&A. It is conceivable that if he had been given the tactical weight of the second half from the beginning, 50+ in the whole game would not have been a dream.

But from the perspective of the team's winning, the Rockets' 'rush to the hospital' failed. It can be seen simply from the distribution ratio: Yang Yiming scored 29 points in the second half, and the team scored 21 points; The team had 29 points on his account after nine points in the first half. The original intention of the point-to-point tactic was a complete failure. Yang Yiming proved that he was a scorer to rely on — a rarity for a first-year rookie — but he was not ready to regain lost ground and lead the whole army to attack the city and seize the land.

4 In this game, judging from the situation in the first half, the Rockets have a very small chance of winning. D'Antoni won a game that was almost certain to lose, not only practiced the starting point of the new tactics, gave Yang Yiming, a young man who is responsible for building the team in the future, the best opportunity to exercise, preserved the physical strength of Harden Paul and others, and reconfirmed his style of play in the finals. That's the limited rotation around the core players.

It can be said that it was the tactical arrangement of killing four birds with one stone that helped the rocket win the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain.

As for why Yang Yiming is hidden in the snow? Probably because De Shuai still wants to save a back hand for the next game. ”

- Transaction Rumors:

"The analysis of tactics and personnel upstairs is already exhaustive, and I actually want to analyze this snow hide from the perspective of summer trading.

If LeBron James can't win the championship - judging by the ending of Tianwang Mountain, this is very likely to happen - decision 3 is naturally imminent. James is something that any team in the league is chasing today, and the Rockets are no exception.

If the Cavaliers lose and the Rockets win the championship, they naturally hope to defend the title the following year and achieve an achievement comparable to the two consecutive championships of the Rockets in the 90s.

But compared to other teams, the Rockets lack the chips that Zhan Huang and the Cavaliers are interested in. Houston is an industrial and technology city, which is not in line with Zhan Huang's plans to expand his post-retirement industry. Harden obviously can't be traded in the Rockets, and Paul can be counted as a bargaining chip, but as a leader, he is older, and if the Cavaliers send James, they don't necessarily want another All-Star rebuild that is also on the decline. Capela could be an interesting trade target, but a well-formed center could be replaced by the Rockets and refused to let go. Thereupon...

Yang Yiming was left.

Yang Yiming is young, and the strength and talent he showed in his first year are enough to be coveted by all teams that aspire to rebuild. The coach let him play half as a single core in the finals, which can be said to increase his trade value to a greater extent. The message is simple: this is a young player that can be relied on in the finals. Using him with any of the Rockets' core benches, such as Ryan Anderson or Eric Gordon, in exchange for James will definitely give Cavaliers management a good idea.

What is the number of ways to hide the snow as soon as the value is played?

On the one hand, of course, it is impossible for De Shuai to continue the crazy experiment and let the rookie focus on the battle of Tianwang Mountain. He still has to focus on the O'Brien Cup, the Rockets win and the Cavaliers lose, and LeBron may only move the idea of changing the owner; On the other hand, Yang Yiming was hidden, taking the opportunity to imply that he was not tactically indispensable, and the Cavaliers were welcome to make an offer and make an offer.

Therefore, this snow hiding is likely to be an important foreshadowing laid by the Rockets management for this summer's transfer battle. ”

- Conspiracy theories:

"The above two have analysed from a tactical and transactional point of view, and I personally think there is a bigger hidden story that has not been touched.

The Chinese market behind Yang Yiming and the huge contract he was rumored to sign for Adidas may be the trigger for this change.

When Yang Yiming scored 38 points in G4 - as analyzed by the previous netizens, this should be a temporary change of formation by De Shuai, which was not confirmed by the team management - when the Rocket management team led by Morey realized the seriousness of the matter, they forced the coaching staff to make a decision to hide.

Where's the severity, you might ask? Isn't it good for a player to score?

Not quite.

In the professional league, players and teams are always two groups that co-prosper and gamble. Players are like talents, teams are like companies, and of course companies want to attract talent, but when a talent is too indispensable and high-achiever, he becomes an employee that the company loves and hates.

LeBron James is a living example of this.

He can help Cleveland bring a long-awaited championship, but you never know where he's going to stay every summer. Want to manage your team the way your boss and manager think about it? I'm sorry, but I asked Mr. LeBron for his opinion first.

Yang Yiming does not have the status of Mr. LeBron now, but his future energy is very terrifying.

Behind him is a market of 1.3 billion Chinese fans; He was only 21 years old; If he ends up joining the Adidas roster, counting Derrick Rose, the Rockets will have three Adidas signings.

And the most important of them, and Adi's top card, is the current leader of the Rockets, James Harden.

Harden is obviously expected to win this season's MVP, plus the championship ring that can be expected, he alone is enough for the Rockets management to have the hidden worry of 'the next LeBron', and now count Yang Yiming, who represents China's huge basketball base. If they form an alliance and are recruited by the same sports company...

This situation is undoubtedly the last thing the Rockets management wants to see.

So the G5 scene happened...

It's okay to say that I'm a conspiracy theory, or to say that I'm too big, but I don't think that possibility can be completely ruled out. In professional leagues where commercial interests are increasingly forcing teams to run their businesses, it is not uncommon for such teams to stand up and rebel. The Rockets just took a sacrificial rookie, but it happened to happen on the stage of the Finals, so it was so high-profile.

The outcome of this matter, and the reliability of my speculation, may not be verified until Dr. Yang finalizes his personal sponsorship this summer.

Anyway, summer doesn't look far away! ”
