On January 19, 2018, Beijing time, Yang Yiming, a rising Chinese star of the Houston Rockets, was selected as the starting list for the 2018 Los Angeles All-Star Game. With a strong Chinese fan base and successful canvassing on social media at the last moment, Yang Yiming's fan votes reached 2894301 votes, ranking first in the league, and detonated the Internet for a while.

"Dr. Yang", who won the vote, responded to the selection as soon as possible:

"Thank you to all the fans who voted for me, I was flattered by a rookie. In fact, I originally thought that if I really became the king of votes, I would give up the right to choose team members to the seniors in the west, after all, I am just a newcomer. At this time, I just want to say to the two captains, Curry and James: choose me and Deng Ge together, let me go to the All-Star game and then go to assist him! See you in Los Angeles! ”

Going to the All-Star Game to support the fame superstar and the team boss? Yang Yiming's award declaration has both the humility of paying tribute to his predecessors and the responsibility of future generations, but what kind of assistance can his assistance become, the game with the Timberwolves at 10 o'clock on the same day is just a test to be used!

Yang Yiming, who had just been named an All-Star starter, came off the bench and had a very smooth hand, hitting a long-range shot and a pick-and-roll successively. With two minutes left in the first quarter, the Rockets suddenly set off an offensive climax. Chris Paul first cooperated with Yang Yiming at the top of the arc, Yang Yiming handed the ball to No. 3 properly, the latter wanted to rely on Wiggins, who was on the defense, to make the opponent foul, but he didn't expect to be dodged by Wiggins, but he also left a shooting angle, and Paul hit a three-point shot.

Paul opened the situation and went off the court to rest, changing Eric Gordon's performance time, Yang Yiming held the ball at 45 degrees, Gordon inserted into the box at high speed, and shook off Jeff Teague of the Timberwolves behind him by half a body. Yang Yiming saw the stitch and sent a second pass, the ball just caught up and fell into Gordon's arms, he took advantage of the situation to lower his hand to make a layup, Teague wanted to block from behind but only slashed Gordon's shoulder, paying for a foul. Gordon hits two plus one!

Once the connection was opened, Gordon became more and more unstoppable. Yang Yiming knew that this teammate was hot, and dribbled to the court to find Gordon directly, who received the ball and threw it, and made two consecutive long-range shots, the Rocket's score rose to 26-17 to end the first quarter with a 9-point advantage, and Yang Yiming's assist easily rose to 4 times in a single quarter!

NBA players have the habit of handing the ball to teammates who are in good shape, so in the second quarter, the Rockets' Paul and Harden were not present, and the whole team simply let Yang Yiming, who delivered four assists in a row, control the overall situation.

He lived up to expectations, first cooperating with the old Brazilian center inside and outside. Yang Yiming dribbled with his left hand, Nene stood at the top of the arc, and the two defenders of the Timberwolves were completely no match for them in terms of height and size. But even with the advantage of size, Yang Yiming's dexterity is not lost at all, he dribbles tightly to Nene, does not stop the ball, and after squeezing his defender behind him, Nenee takes the opportunity to shake off and stride straight to the basket with dreadlocks. Yang Yiming changed the rhythm of dribbling, and made an illusion of a breakthrough with a light foot, but he didn't expect to actually throw the ball out with his left hand, and the basketball cannonball flew into Nenei's hand like a cannonball, and the latter person was unstoppable in the reasonable collision area, and he dunked directly!

Yang Yiming, who was alive, became omnipotent, and he first turned over and hit a jumper under the basket. When he asked for the ball in the low post, everyone thought that he would shoot alone, he didn't know how to grow his eyes behind his back, found PJ Tucker who slipped to the bottom line to the restricted area, the ball hit the ground from behind the waist, and Tucker easily rebounded and went to the middle!

Before the break, Yang Yiming shot outside the three-point line - this ball All the Timberwolves were looking at the running Rockets, but they forgot that Yang Yiming had a range in addition to a one-handed pass, but no one put pressure on him, and his shot was hollow into the basket!

James Harden replaces Yang Yiming, and the two high-five. Probably infected by Yang Yiming's fiery hand, the bearded man threw the first goal of the sports battle after his early comeback! Europe breaks through, small hook throws, and the familiar Harden is back!

And Yang Yiming's 6 assists in the half have equaled the best of his career!

But the Rockets' No. 17, the NBA's youngest All-Star starter this year, continues to have a passing show.

The Rockets led by 13 points at halftime, and they thought that the Timberwolves, who were fourth in the West, would launch a counterattack in the second half, but they didn't expect the good news of the early return of the boss James Harden, and the unexpected joy of rookie Yang Yiming being selected for the All-Star Game, and the Rockets lifted off faster than the wolves chased. Although Gibson, Teague and Wiggins hit consecutive shots, the Rockets grabbed the backcourt rebound that Towns missed and passed it directly from Capela to Yang Yiming, who just dribbled past half court when he saw the black beard that was almost down and threw the ball high. Harden didn't hesitate, gliding in the air, catching the ball and dunking!

It looks like Harden's body is fine!

The audience erupted in cheers, and the banners of MVPs flew again in all corners of the Toyota Center!

Only Yang Yiming was happier in his heart, he knew that the hypnotherapy that Nina had arranged for Harden before had worked!

Encouraging, Harden turned around and made his best unreasonable shot from beyond the three-point line, and the ball fell into the net. The confidence of the Rockets was boosted, setting off an 11-2 offensive climax, and the second-in-command Paul made a strong pick-up to convert the offense, 84-68, forcing Timberwolves head coach Thibodeau to ask for a timeout. It's a pity that the pause can't stop the Rockets, Yang Yiming appeared again at the end of the quarter, and directly hung Ryan Anderson who was about to get to the position on the inside, Anderson unexpectedly slapped away the defender with one palm, turned around and dunked it!

Anderson plays inside!

What a rare faith!

Anderson, nicknamed the Away Dragon, brought such a feast to the home fans at the Rockets' home court tonight!

But the Rockets' performance had not yet reached its climax, and with only 3 seconds left at the end of the third quarter, Gordon received a baseline ball from Yang Yiming, only dribbled one step, and forced a shot on the halfway line. Although the Timberwolves' defense avoided physical contact and did not send a foul, they did not expect Gordon's ultra-long three-point shot, and the fans celebrated and almost overturned the dome!

However, the Timberwolves were unwilling to lose to their Western rivals by a big score, and launched a counterattack in the final quarter, and a wave of 10-2 attacks in turn forced Mike D'Antoni to call a timeout.

The Timberwolves, who were in the limelight, were singled by Jimmy Butler with the ball, and Yang Yiming was in the opposite position. Butler continued to dribble under his crotch without shaking off Yang Yiming's center of gravity, and finally took a sideways jumper, ready to shoot a backward jumper at a zero degree angle. Who wants Yang Yiming to bet on the right direction, or read the clue from Butler's body muscle posture, and jumped to the direction of the bottom line in advance, leaned out with his long arms, and rubbed the basketball! Butler, who was leaning back, and Yang Yiming, who was rushing forward, collided and both fell to the ground, but the referee did not award a foul!

The basketball with a short trajectory was picked up by Carl Towns under the basket, and he was in front of Capela, resisted a few hard shoulders and felt the range was appropriate, and then hooked his hands half-sideways, ready to shoot the ball steadily. But his wishful thinking was not accurate, Yang Yiming, who was still on the ground just now, had already gotten up at this time, and killed directly from outside the boundary along the bottom line, jumped up, holding the rebound with one hand, and fanning Downs's hook hand with the other hand!

Two limit caps in a row!

At this point, the Timberwolves completely lost their fighting spirit and surrendered. Yang Yiming finally presented a report card of 13 points, 9 assists and 2 blocks, and there is no shortage of offense and defense, which is too stable!
