051 Three British Wars
Bidding farewell to Houston, ending a four-day streak, and a gentle date, Yang Yiming came to the City of Angels with the Houston Rockets.
Los Angeles.
He visited Staples Center for the first time in his NBA career.
The Rockets are on a six-game winning streak and the Lakers are on a four-game losing streak, and the whole team seems bound to win this game.
But Yang Yiming's mood of stepping into the basketball resort is not easy at all, and today he was entrusted with the responsibility of defense.
He's going to take one defense against three!
1/
Lonzo Ball, 198 cm 86 kg, known as the ball brother, No. 2 of the Lakers, serving as a point guard, the Tanhua of this draft, and the proud son of the sky.
Kyle Kuzma, 206 cm 100 kg, Lakers No. 0, playing as a forward, 27 rookies in the first round of this year, a potential new star who has risen rapidly, and once surpassed the ball brother of the same class on the rookie list.
Brandon Ingram, 206 cm 86 kg, Lakers No. 14, explosive forward swingman, first-year rookie, last year's Tanhualang, team starter who averaged 16 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, just scored a personal high 32 points in the overtime defeat to the Warriors!
Yang Yiming's arranged game focus is to focus on defense and prevent these three people!
At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets scored only eight points and trailed the Lakers 8-13. Kuzma and Ingram in the trio have ravaged the inside of the Rockets, Kuzma caught the ball in the air under the basket four-man pack, missed the layup, but immediately threw himself and grabbed it, Capela's arm has been entangled, Kuzma is half-backed, and the left hand that has not yet been entangled is thrown into the ball, and it also causes an additional penalty!
In the two defensive counterattacks, Ingram took the lead, first rode alone, entered the restricted area from the right side of the Rockets, glided to the basket and shot, and then received the Lakers' big center Lopez's response, starting from the same position, hand-to-hand to receive the ball, this time the basket turned over and dunked!
Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni quickly called off the game and deployed troops, including Yang Yiming!
"Yiming, this time I need you to focus on defense, do a good job of defense first, and limit them!"
"-You come to defend, let the rest of the people attack, and you can also shoot when you have the right opportunity."
'If Ball is on the pitch and your first target is him, restricting his vision, cutting off the passing lane, Paul will come and assist you. If you switch defenses, your second target is Ingram, defend his breakaway, and force him to choose a mid-range shot as much as possible. Finally, there's Kuzma, who might put a cold shot, so you can just make trouble with his shots and try not to give him a chance to kill. ”
"Go ahead!"
"Prove it to me!"
A good show of three British battles against Lu Bu kicked off.

In this game, Yang Yiming finally played a career-high 37 minutes, almost all the time after coming off the bench in the first quarter, leaving the court with 6 fouls in the remaining 2 minutes and 17 seconds, contributing 11 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 blocks and 3 steals.
However, statistics are one thing, and his performance on the field is not entirely reflected by statistics.
His ubiquitous on-field performance!
Lonzo Ball was undoubtedly the most depressed man of the night, as the team's commander, he was completely lost under the pressure of Yang Yiming, scoring just two points from the free throw, three assists, and three turnovers.
Yang Yiming, who is tall and has long arms, achieved all-round suppression of Ball, and in the latter part of the first quarter, the latter still had the confidence to try a peripheral shot, but was fanned off by Yang Yiming, who was still one step away, and the ball flew directly into the audience! Since then, Ball has completely lost his confidence in shooting, the shortcomings of his weak shooting posture have been infinitely magnified, and in terms of breakthrough and organization, Yang Yiming, who was forced to defend from the No. 3 position to the No. 1 position, was unable to play at all, and the whole game was like sleepwalking.
Ball's lack of confidence on the offensive end also directly affected his performance on the defensive end, and the Rockets' backcourt trident used him as a breakthrough and bombarded him in turns. James Harden had 36 points and 9 assists, Chris Paul had 21 points and 6 assists, and Eric Gordon, who was back in shape, had 22 points.

Sanying fought against Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, the weakest in the Lakers' formation, Liu Huangshu, was defeated first, leaving only Zhang Yide and Guan Yunchang to fight separately.
Ingram is tall and has long arms and a powerful style of play, which can be seen from the two attacks to the basket in the first quarter. According to the instructions of head coach D'Antoni, Yang Yiming let go of a step when he was marking him, lowered his center of gravity, and spread his arms to block the left and right roads of Ingram's breakthrough. In the second quarter, Ingram wanted to follow the example of the previous one, disrupting the stitch with impact, but when he broke through, he found that he finally met a player who could compete with his height and legs, and he couldn't pull away from his position as usual with his pace alone, so he had to lean on his opponent and play closely. In terms of weight tonnage, the 86-kilogram slender Ingram is not the opponent of 96-kilogram Yang Yiming, two breakthrough attempts, one lost his balance in the physical confrontation, and the shot was short, although he barely surpassed Yiming, but he encountered Capella's defense under the basket, and when the ball was thrown, Yiming had already chased back and closed the pegboard behind Capela!
In the remaining time, in the face of Yang Yiming's strategy of anti-burst shooting, the mid-range jump shot selection accounted for the majority, and this was in the hands of the Rockets. Excluding his opening two shots, Ingram then shot five of 14 from the field at a 35.7 percent shooting percentage, well below his season average of nearly 50 percent.
Sanying fought against Lu Bu, and Zhang Yide was also defeated!
Kyle Kuzma, the most resembling the brave and resourceful Chinese god of war Guan Yunchang, saw that his teammates Bauer and Ingram were restricted to varying degrees, and he needed to take on the heavy responsibility of circumventing Lu Fengxian alone, and became more and more cautious about the choice of each attack. Although he came off the bench and had limited time to perform, he tried to be reasonable, and finally carried the banner of the Lakers alone, scoring 22 points and 12 rebounds, two team-highs. Among them, Kuzma's sports shooting rate is 50% and the three-point shooting rate is 42.9%, which can indeed be described as a beautiful bearded man's possession.
Seeing Kuzma's sharp offense and help the Lakers close the score gap in the third quarter, Yang Yiming returned the favor with his own way, on the one hand, he continued to limit Ball and let go of Ingram, on the other hand, he took the initiative to ask for the ball and also threw three-point shots. When the Lakers were on the rise, the defensive focus was entirely on the Rockets' backcourt trident, but they ignored the previous obscure shot. He followed the example of his mentor teammate Ariza, and he ambushed him in two bottom corner three-point positions, and finally received the ball from his teammates four times, and he made a decisive shot and hit three shots!
Fang Tian's painting halberd sacrificed in the dark!
And the fifth time, when the Lakers finally woke up and dragged the bloody stump up to block Yang Yiming's three-point shot, he saw the opportunity to act, dangled a shot, and went straight to the basket! Lopez, the big center who came back to his senses, hurriedly moved his steps to make up for the defense, and Yang Yiming had already taken off and leaped!
Tarzan is at the top!
The halberd breaks through the sky!
Yang Yiming is like the first person in the Three Kingdoms, like a god descending to earth, riding a buckle Lopez to succeed!
It also caused him to block a foul!
Although the penalty was missed, Yang Yiming's score stayed at 11 points, but what?
The three-British wheel battle is useless, and the crazy victory of the rocket is decided!
