Repelling the menacing Blake Griffin, who is intent on revenge, Yang Yiming and his Rockets are advancing like a bamboo.

114-91, defeated the Western powerhouse New Orleans Pelicans, breaking the team all-time winning record.

118-99, defeated the youth team Atlanta Hawks again, increasing the number of wins to 60.

Taking advantage of the Warriors' full of injuries and unfavorable years, the Rockets took advantage of this wave of offense to stretch the lead with their opponents to 5.5 games and sit on the first place in the league.

Facing the Pelicans for the second time in two weeks, Yang Yiming has long been familiar with it. He has experience in grabbing offensive rebounds in front of Anthony Davis through the point of cheats, but this game against the Pelicans again, he has other thoughts hidden!

He wants to try his hand at singles Davis!

After three quarters, the Rockets led the Pelicans 83-61 at home, and Coach D'Antoni was full of relaxation, and simply did not change the main force, allowing the rotation players to play themselves on the court; On the Pelicans' side, only the "thick eyebrow brother" is working hard, shooting, rebounding, and passing the ball, but unfortunately his teammates are really not strong, and the score has always remained around 20 points.

After his teammates missed a long two-point shot, Davis, who had just finished blocking and dismantling and was unable to rush, could only watch Yang Yiming easily pick up the defensive rebound under the protection of his Rockets teammates. The two pinches of his eyebrows were stunned to wring a whirlpool at the center of his eyebrows, sighed, and forced himself to cheer up, beckoning his teammates to take position, while retreating to the half of the court to defend.

These are all in Yang Yiming's eyes. Here's your chance to give your opponent a try!

Yang Yiming suddenly increased his speed. When he picked up the rebound, he was standing at the top of the arc of the reasonable collision zone, accelerated his dribble and immediately shook off one of the Pelicans closest to the restricted area. At the three-point line, he distributed the ball to Derrick Rose, who was responding near the halfway, and went straight into the opponent's hinterland, and the Rockets used him as an arrow, and suddenly formed a three-on-three situation in the opponent's half!

The center is Anthony Davis facing Yang Yiming.

On the flanks was Ewan Moore, who defended veteran Joe Johnson in the bottom corner.

Second-year rookie guards Larry Drew II and Derrick Rose are both maneuvers, with the former protecting Davis on the side of the box and the latter just past the halfway line, dribbling in search of an opportunity.

Usually the idea of this set of tactics is that Rose passes the ball to the players who are fast down the middle, and the ball carrier decides whether to distribute the ball to the wing or go to the basket himself, but the Rockets played smoothly and played a completely different new idea this time with three on three...

I saw that Rose still gave the ball to Yang Yiming, who was about to go down, but he didn't choose to continue to rush, but began to move sideways at the free throw arc; Joe Johnson on the wing came over to meet the ball, and Yang Yiming handed over the ball and made an off-ball block for him. Rose ran to the bottom corner where Joe Johnson was standing just now, Yang Yiming stepped on the 45-degree oblique position, Joe Johnson held the ball at the top of the arc, and for a while the Rockets formed a three-on-one situation outside the three-point line!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Anthony Davis and Larry Drew II, who had been guarding the penalty area, all pounced. Davis supplemented Yang Yiming, and Drew II moved in the direction of Ross!

But who would have thought that the rocket three arrows were not flat in waves, and they rose again and again. Joe Johnson got the ball, Rose slipped to the bottom line and passed Drew II with speed, and the Pelicans' basket was empty, forcing Davis, who had just taken a step to defend, to retreat again and again, and leaked Yang Yiming clean. Joe Johnson looked back at the moon and returned the ball to Yang Yiming, who took advantage of Rose's containment to enter the penalty area, and the thick eyebrows could not advance or retreat, and was hit by Yang Yiming's head-on throw!

With this confidence-building, Yang Yiming's desire to single out Anthony Davis is even stronger. He took advantage of his body slightly wider than the thick eyebrows, took the ball with his back to the basket, stepped back to the right and then turned to the left, and shook the opponent away with a shooting feint. He took a step back and prepared to make a move, and Brother Thick Mei's second reaction was also extremely fast, and Yang Yiming leaned back sharply to avoid being blocked. But the overall hand style of the rocket is too smooth, this plan barely shot on the edge of the basket, bounced to the rebound, and finally landed in the pocket!

The Rockets' lead came to 26 points. The Pelicans called a timeout, replaced the main player on the court, and announced their surrender.

If the Pelicans can still have a thick eyebrow to lead the team to fight stubbornly, the Hawks, who lost the team's leader Danny Schroder, have given up their efforts directly from the beginning. The Rockets blossomed inside and out, and the lead was controlled at more than 20 points at halftime.

A prosaic contest.

Harden got an economic triple-double in the third quarter, with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists, and clocked out early.

The opponent is too weak, and the entire Toyota Center is slightly dull. In order to adjust the atmosphere, the director flashed the broadcast camera and captured a young fan pouting on a pacifier and sleeping peacefully in his father's arms. The picture was projected onto a large screen above the stadium, drawing a laugh from the audience.

The camera turned again, and a white old fan was photographed, with his face painted charcoal black, revealing only a snow-white beard and white hair, which at first glance looked quite like an elderly version of James Harden. He held aloft a placard that read, "Harden's MVP and championship — have been waiting too many years!" The English word for years (ages) also means age, and everyone understands that the old fan refers to his deliberately set aside gray hair and beard, and smiles heartily.

Switching from the audience to the sidelines, not far from Yang Yiming's side, several Rocket fans, including Zhou Qi, who usually don't have many opportunities to appear, were arranged by Coach D'Antoni to start warming up.

If Yang Yiming was sitting in front of the TV, he could still see that although there were seven or eight minutes left in the game, the broadcast signal had already played all the historical records after the Rockets' victory:

"For the first time in the team's history, it reached 60 wins; The first NBA team to reach 60 wins this season. ”

"James Harden has a triple-double for the fourth and 35th time of his career."

"The Houston Rockets became the 76th team to reach 60 wins in the season and the 18th team to reach 60 wins in the first 74 games."

"Of the 17 teams that had won 60 games in 74 games, 11 ended up winning the title that season."

"The winning rate is as high as 64.7 percent."

But Yang Yiming couldn't see this information - he was still on the field. When the broadcasters were ready to draw an end to the game in advance, he had to add his own exclamation mark!

Gerald Green drifted a few inches off the three-pointer with some carelessness - since he had the guidance of the cheats, Yang Yiming has long known the landing point of this offensive rebound. He resisted with his shoulders, turned his back to the basket, and held the rebound down like a real eagle against a chick in the Hawks' trio. The palm of the hand slaps on the basketball with a loud bang. Before the aftermath dissipated, Yang Yiming used his left foot as the axis, his body straightened, and he turned directly below the basket with the help of Dwayne Dedmon, the center of the Hawks behind him. Lost a shooting angle? No, he soared into the air with his brutal waist and abdomen power, twisted 180 degrees in the air, turned over and slammed a backhand! Second bang!

A real-life recreation of Vince Carter's in-situ loop in the slam dunk contest!

The director, who finally caught the highlight of the game, did not hesitate, and immediately released a frame-by-frame comparison of the two dunks on the big screen. Almost exactly the same!

The Rockets won the 60th victory as they wished, and Yang Yiming's dunk was rated as the top ten balls of the day!

Unstoppable.
