In late January and early February, the intensity of the Houston Rockets' game changed to one game every other day, and the difficulty gradually increased.

On January 29, Beijing time, the Rockets defeated the Suns 113-102 at home, and Yang Yiming scored a career-high 34 points.

On January 31, although he was anxious with the Magic, Harden, who had 60 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, still broke the opponent alone, and the Rockets won again 114-107.

On Feb. 2, the Rockets embarked on a four-game road trip in a row, with the first two opponents being the San Anthony Spurs, a traditional powerhouse in the Southwest, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, a title contender in the East.

Can Team Rocket show dominance against these two strong opponents?

1/

The rocket's response is beyond doubt.

Kawhi Leonard is out indefinitely, but the Spurs are still the same Spurs, they are like delicate instruments, under the command of veteran coach ** Vic, step by step, to challenge for the playoffs and championships every year.

Before the Rockets and Spurs Southwest Division Championships, the broadcast media even sent out a good comparison between Vicky and the champion coach of the New England Patriots "Bill Bilicek", both of whom led the same team to win the championship five times, and the winning rate of the playoffs was also comparable.

But today the rocket is going to prove that change is stronger than not changing!

At 27-14, the Rockets built a 13-point lead in the first quarter, and after halftime, they extended their advantage to 16 points and entered the fourth quarter with a double-digit lead. The tenacious Spurs were not willing to give in easily, launched a Jedi counterattack in the fourth quarter, chasing the score to 82-76 with only 6 points difference, and the game seemed to be still in suspense?

Suspense?!

Hearing this question, the Rockets duo Paul and Harden (who have been affectionately called a light bulb combination by Chinese fans) will probably secretly laugh when they hear a ridiculous joke: If my momentary negligence has given you this illusion, it is indeed my fault. And if we make mistakes, we will correct them!

Paul jumped out first to take over the game. The Rockets are the best three-point team in the league, but under the Spurs' expanded defense, the Rockets obviously don't have many open three-point opportunities, but this is not difficult for St. Paul!

Clint Capela blocked Paul, Paul burst left and right, dribbled in a tight circle in the free throw area, and a bunch of big men in black surrounded him, but he couldn't grab the ball, and he shook it directly out of the shooting space, and hit it backwards.

hit a ball, and in the next round Paul continued to repeat the old trick, but this time the person who blocked and dismantled was replaced by our protagonist Yang Yiming, who finished blocking and dismantling, and he stuck to the low position of the reasonable collision area to attract two defenders, and Paul got another chance to shoot and scored in the middle of the shot.

Both times it was a single after the block, will it be the third time?

The Spurs players are probably still guessing that Paul has passed through the gap between the two people attracted by Yang Yiming's single block, and shot again in the free throw arc!

scored six points in a row, and the gap was re-beaten back to 12 points! Spurs were forced to take a timeout!

The Spurs, who came back from the pause, cheered up again and chased some points, but the Rockets had no choice but Paul and Hu Ziden! Mr. 60 dominated the game in a more tyrannical manner than Paul, not blocking at all, facing Aldridge and Ginobili singles respectively. At the same angle, the left side of the three-point line dribbles under the 45-degree hip in disguise; The same preparatory action, but retreat once to the left and once to the right, but the same way, all can be shot!

The second time he faced the shooting of the Ginobili defense, and he was whistled for a three-point foul because the opponent had a seemingly nonchagrinous touch!

Harden hit a 4-pointer for the 22nd time in his career. This statistic ranks fifth among all players, and the Rockets have closed the game!

Winning the Spurs won in the double core, and today the Rockets slaughtered the Cavaliers, which is completely the gap between the lineups of the two sides.

Kevin Love has a broken palm, the legendary personnel deal has not happened for a long time, and the sad wrinkles on the face of LeBron James, a thirty-year-old man, seem to have increased overnight. The highlight of the Saturday night broadcast in the United States, James held back his strength and wanted to resist on his own, but he didn't expect to be beaten in one and a half sections, all because the helpers around him were too weak!

The Cavaliers' highest-scoring "accolades" were shared by Thomas Jr. and J.R. Smith, who both scored just 12 points.

LeBron James scored just 11 points on 3-of-10 shooting. Although 9 rebounds and 9 assists can barely make up a triple-double, the team collapsed 88-120, such a joke triple-double, or don't brush it!

On the other hand, even if Ariza and Eric Gordon are out of battle, the Rockets' dominance is still significantly higher. In order to further strengthen, the Rockets also have transfer rumors, and even our protagonist Yang Yiming and Yu Xiaochun have been obsessed with switching to Cleveland to assist the little emperor, but since the trade did not happen, the game that should be won still has to be won.

The cap should also be covered!

Not long after the opening, James, who was wearing a gray team uniform today, was in the position under the basket, and after catching the outside pass, he arched his shoulders as always, shook Capela and hooked his hand to shoot. In the past, the emperor's ball was estimated to be able to be thrown steadily, but who would have thought that behind Capela today, there was Yang Yiming, who blocked his shot in the first round!

It's almost the same position, the same action.

Yang Yiming raised his arms and flew high, like Jin Peng spreading his wings, fanning out his big palm, covering James's shot tightly, and the ball smashed directly into the audience!

How could James endure such a big humiliation, in the next ball, he caught the ball and hit the basket directly, and violently poured the basket with both hands, which can be regarded as saving some face!

It's just that the old man's fists are hard to beat with four hands!

Looking at the Rockets' scoring list today, Chris Paul and James Harden scored 22 points and 16 points each, which is not high, but the whole team has seven double-doubles, Ryan Anderson 21 points, Gerald Green 17 points, Yang Yiming 16 points, Clint Capela 14 points, and Luke Bamot 11 points!

Sure enough, the ball that James dunked became the last return of the Cavaliers in the game, and Capela, who received Paul's second pass, returned the color with a dunk under the basket, and also caused Tristan Thompson to shoot a foul and make it two and one.

Bamot slipped to the bottom line to receive a long pass from Harden in the half, and scored a rebound, leaving behind the aging Spanish guard Jose Calderon.

Gerald Green dribbled across half court and unreasonably hit a three-pointer in front of another three-point sharpshooter, Kyle Korver, who just made 1-of-5 threes today. In front of the elegant Green, Korver was like a rusty and bulky cannon, turning around and being accelerated in disguise, and Green directly buckled with one arm.

Even Wade has fallen from the Flash to a Barkley-style arch player, but the physical confrontation can't take any advantage on Yang Yiming, and he hurriedly missed the left hook under the basket, and after Yang Yiming accepted the rebound, he made an easy layup to cause 21.

This was the Flash's forte back then!

It's a pity that the years are not forgiving, and flashing and moving, and difficult shots are now the patent of young people.

The last attack before the end of the half, it was Yang Yiming against Flash Wade. He used his shoulder strength to withstand Wade's constant interference and dribble to the free throw line. With 3 seconds left, he grabbed the basketball, his back to the basket and his upper body shook left and right continuously, Wade clinged to it, but Yang Yiming ignored it completely, and made a super difficult turnover jump shot with one leg!

This is the skill of super top scoring guards like Kobe and Wade!

But at this time, the rookie actually concocted the same way and could also hit the ball at the whistle! 65 to 39, a halftime win of 26 points, who dares to disagree with the dominance of rocket terror!
