173 Hit back

Because of a fan vote posted on the NBA Chinese official website, Yang Yiming was pushed to the forefront. Although tens of thousands of fans voted for him to be the Rookie of the Year award over Ben Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, and all the other 17-year rookies, it seems that this support has attracted more "Yang Black".

They gathered on the online platform, found all kinds of dispensable black spots, and attacked Yang Yiming in groups.

And Yang Yiming and the Rockets did not perform well in the away game against the Spurs, he only scored 8 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, and the Rockets lost 83-100, which left an excellent tongue for the sunspots. "Lore?! Sure enough, it was just luck. "It's a team like Spurs that can try to make a difference." "The brush can't go down!"

The sunspots are spraying more and more vigorously, and it is almost like participating in a carnival!

It's time for our hero to fight back!

1/

The opportunity to fight back is coming soon!

The Washington Wizards, who played at home against an Eastern Conference playoff team and gave the Rockets a five-game losing streak in the early part of the season!

The Wizards' main player Wall is back in the game, and Beal, who has been the leader for more than half a season, reorganizes the backcourt with two guns, but the Rockets also have two guns: James Harden and Yang Yiming!

In the game against the Spurs, although Harden contributed 25 points and 8 assists, his shooting percentage was not satisfactory, and he admitted after the game: "They played harder than us, the Spurs are fighting for a playoff spot, and they really played well tonight." We're like a team that has been relieved that we're going to lose if we go on like this. ”

Harden doesn't want to lose again. Even though the Rockets have locked up the top spot in the league, he still has an MVP trophy to win.

And Yang Yiming, naturally, not to mention, he wants to use his performance to block the mouths of all the sunspots.

As the so-called brothers are concentric, their profits are gold.

Harden hit a three-pointer and a breakaway assist, and played extremely aggressively in the first quarter. At 6 minutes and 46 seconds, he also caused John Wall, who had just returned from injury and lacked the rhythm of the game, to a three-point shooting foul, Harden shot the first two shots, missed the third shot, and Yang Yiming squeezed away Porter and Morris Sr. to grab the frontcourt rebound. There was no chance for him to play inside, so Yang Yiming wittily passed inside to assist Clint Capela, who hit a hook shot through Wizards center Gotak.

With offensive rebounding protectors under the basket, Harden's offense has become even more reckless. He turned over and made a jumper, a mid-range dry pull, and a three-point retreat step came all, either directly to shoot, if he missed, the rebound ball was like a magnet hitting a magnet, and Yang Yiming could suck it all up. In the first quarter, Harden scored 10 points and handed out 4 assists, but this was just a routine operation - the Rockets grabbed 17 rebounds in a single quarter, including 7 frontcourt rebounds, 5 belonged to Yang Yiming!

That's what's out of the ordinary!

But it's not terrible to have one offense and one defense, and what is really terrible is the rocket twin guns that can be attacked and defended, and it is impossible to swap roles!

Just two minutes into the second quarter, Harden dribbled from beyond the three-point line himself, attracting the Wizards' two-man package. Harden didn't make a strong shot, and passed the ball to Yang Yiming at 45 degrees on the weak side from the gap between the two, and Yang Yiming hit it in the open position.

At six and a half minutes in the second quarter, the Wizards steal the Rockets, Bradley Beal and Kelly Oubre Jr. launched a fast break, and only Yang Yiming returned to defend alone. Yang Yiming first pretended to block the ball carrier Bill, and Bill saw that Little Oubre under the basket might be empty, so he threw the ball casually, thinking that no matter how strong Yang Yiming's bounce was, it was impossible to defend it. But who would have thought that it was the relaxation of this mentality, Yang Yiming's snatch was false, and it was true to lure Bill to share the ball, Bill's hand was tight, and the force of throwing the ball was greater, and Little Oubre couldn't dunk directly. He grabbed the ball and arched Yang Yiming under the basket to prepare for a second layup, but his height and tonnage were not dominant, Yang Yiming was overwhelmed, and the ball was easily dropped by him!

One defense and two successes.

There was no time to celebrate, Yang Yiming launched a counterattack as soon as possible, he passed the ball to Harden near the middle line, and he stepped forward at high speed. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent was not yet in position, Harden dribbled the ball and then distributed the ball back to Yang Yiming again, and he hit a three-point shot at 45 degrees on the left side this time!

At halftime, Harden scored 24 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal, and Yang Yiming had 12 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and the two extended their lead to 22 points!

In the second half, Yibian fought again, and the duo Yang Yiming took the lead. He and Harden blocked and dismantled twice, the Wizards' defense was not effective, their blocking and dismantling were dismantled, two people defended Harden, and zero people defended Yang Yiming. Harden passes the ball to the inside, and Yang Yiming dunks with one arm!

The cooperation between Harden and Yang Yiming further heated up, and it was full of feelings: Harden held the ball on the outside, Yang Yiming stuck on the inside, Harden hung Yang Yiming, he did it back to Harden, Harden hung the inside line again, and Yang Yiming only dribbled it again, and then distributed it back to Harden. The two made three consecutive inside and outside passes on the strong side, although there was no change in action, but with too strong scoring ability, the entire Wizards defense was mobilized to the north, and finally Harden got up and down and shot and scored almost unguarded!

However, no matter how the game progresses, the most exciting part is Yang Yiming's offensive rebounding performance.

In the first quarter of the first half, he grabbed five offensive rebounds, and in the second quarter, he added another one to bring the total number of offensive rebounds in the half to six.

At 3 minutes and 40 seconds in the third quarter, Chris Paul drifted three points on the counterattack, and Yang Yiming ran to the basketball rebound line and picked up the rebound in the front court. 7 pcs.

At 5 minutes and 12 seconds in the third quarter, Paul broke through two and threw a shot at Wizards center Gotak. Gotak didn't block the basketball, but Paul shot a little harder. Capela, Yang Yiming, and Big Morris compete for rebounds. Big Morris clicked first, Capela clicked to second, and the basketball was flipped by Capela. Just when Yang Yiming jumped on the third time, he was caught in his arm. 8 pcs.

At 4:08 in the fourth quarter, Ariza passed the ball to Yang Yiming, who was misplaced inside, and he pressed Porter Jr. to shoot the board. Once he missed, he threw himself and grabbed himself, hitting 2 points. 9 pcs.

At 5:57 in the fourth quarter, 93-107, the Wizards closed the gap to 14 points. At this time, of course, the ball needs to be handed over to Harden, he faced Wall's close pressing, pulled back on the spot, and the basketball flew out of the basket in a circle, but fortunately, the home team still has Yang Yiming! He stabbed the basket diagonally from outside the three-point line at the top of the arc and jumped against a bunch of Wizards defenders. He jumped higher than everyone else! Seeing that the direction of Yang Yiming's vacancy and the trajectory of the offensive rebound flight were about to intersect, the Wizards' big Morris made a trick and dragged Yang Yiming under him. Yang Yiming lost his balance in the air, but his instantaneous judgment played a role in the urgency, he hooked the basketball with his left hand at the highest point, took it into his arms, hugged it tightly with both hands, and then like a rugby player who touched the ground to score, he used his right arm to withstand the impact of the floor, protect himself, and fell to the ground!

The referee whistled and blew for a malicious foul on Big Morris!

Yang Yiming grabbed a double-digit offensive rebound in this game!

He hit two free throws, and the Rockets had an extra offensive opportunity. This time, Harden didn't waste it, he shot a three-pointer, and the difference between the two teams returned to nearly 20 points again, and the Wizards replaced the bench and announced that they would admit defeat.

James Harden had 38 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, almost ending the MVP battle.

Yang Yiming had 22 points, 15 rebounds (10 offensive rebounds), 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, and slapped the sunspots with his performance!
