Yang Yiming and Donovan Mitchell's two-man duel, and in the end, Yang grabbed the latter's small pigtails with weak upper body strength and adopted a three-point defense breakthrough strategy. The arrogant Mitchell fell into the trap, but instead repeatedly shot iron, and finally hit 1 of 9 three-pointers, and the team won first and then lost, losing to the Rockets.

The Houston Rockets, who returned to the road, still can't escape the main theme of revenge: the Los Angeles Clippers. On the last visit to Stamps, Yang Yiming and Blake Griffin pushed each other and were ejected for the first time in their careers. It's just that if you look at the other party's lineup today, it's already a matter of fact...

1/

The Houston Rockets were in hot form, and they came up to kill the "new" Los Angeles Clippers 28-7. Although the Clippers reversed the Nuggets by 19 points the day before, the energy reserves in back-to-back games were insufficient, and how to shoot and how not to score. With 1 minute and 40 seconds left in the first quarter, seeing that the opponent is so uncompetitive, MVP Prince James Harden is here!

He dribbled to the frontcourt on his own, with Clippers forward Wesley Johnson on close defense. Harden stopped at the three-point line for a while, dribbled with his left and right hands, Johnson took the ball out, and was naturally easily dodged by Harden and broke forward. Johnson, who lost his defensive position, hurriedly made up for it, grabbed Harden's right arm with both hands, but was thrown away by Harden with a shake of his shoulder. Harden stepped back beyond the three-point line, and Johnson fell three meters away!

An open field!

Unguarded!

Harden gripped the ball to his waist and hesitated for a second. No. 33 Johnson, who fell to the ground, also hesitated for a second, looking back at the bearded, as if the grieving heroine who was ruthlessly pushed down in a romance drama, and couldn't believe the cruelty of her lover - that scene was really a bit funny. All the white-clothed people around him also hesitated for a second, stunned in place, perhaps waiting for the referee's whistle to save them. The Rockets' bench was to Harden's left, but no one made a rash move:

This scene is so exciting, no one dares to interrupt the boss's more exciting ending.

After a second, order finally returned to order on the court. Johnson struggled to get up, Lue Williams moved over to make up for it, and Harden let go of his shoulders and raised his hand to shoot!

Hollow three!

The rocket bench exploded!

A huge lead was established in the first quarter, which made Yang Yiming, who was holding a heart of revenge, a little confused. Although the Rockets could have one more day off than the Nuggets, he and Yu Xiaochun flew to New Haven on the East Coast in the morning to attend Dan Fagan's funeral, and flew across the United States for more than four hours in the afternoon to Los Angeles on the West Coast. He threw two shots in a slightly biased direction, and the Rockets on the court were already in a good situation, and the opponent's team except for Lu Williams actually did not have the main characters of the last conflict, Yang Yiming simply calmed down and concentrated on defense.

First Defensive - Williams.

The advantage of LV is two words: fast and sticky. After he blocked and changed the defense, he and Yang Yiming were opposed, which happened to be a small opportunity to fight big. Lu Wei is indeed different from other small ones, when he plays small, he basically does not use rhythm and foot changes to seek shooting space, but takes the initiative to approach the big one, always seeking physical contact, relying on his speed and sticky ability. Yang Yiming and him were one-on-one outside the three-point line, Lu Wei followed Yang Yiming all the way to the inside line, and Yang Yiming used his body to push it while retreating. But I didn't expect this top, Lu Wei played more and more comfortably, he was a bit like a Tai Chi master in martial arts, his body was light and fluttering, so that his strength was completely nowhere to focus, but he himself could use his strength to fight, retreat as advance, and arch to the penalty area in a few steps.

Although Yang Yiming finally relied on his height and long arms, he still blocked Lu Wei's shooting line and gave the opponent a big hat, but the referee's whistle also sounded. Blocking fouls, blocks don't count, and Lowe stands at the free throw line.

The second time he faced Lu Wei, Yang Yiming learned a lot. He simply started Tai Chi, Lu Wei entered, and he retreated; Lu Wei hidden, he posted back. In short, it is not the slightest opportunity to give the opponent to borrow strength. Seeing that there was no chance to break through and make a foul, Lu Wei withdrew from inside the three-point line and stepped back to shoot the basket from outside the line. This James Harden's mastery, coupled with Lu Wei's better speed, may suffer if he is replaced by someone else's defense, but he is against Yang Yiming!

After playing 1 against Harden, he can still get away with winning, relying on Yang Yiming, who is Harden's killer weapon!

Yang Yiming didn't directly block the shot, but just used his whole arm to block the angle of Lu Wei's straight shot, and the latter had no choice but to use a stepback step and add air drift to reluctantly shoot, and finally shot out because it was too difficult.

Lowe didn't attack well, and Clippers head coach Doc Rivers switched back to Tobias Harris.

Harris is a new signing from the Pistons after the Clippers traded Griffin, and he feels that his body play style is most similar to Yang Yiming. Defending the other party, Yang Yiming is like looking at himself, a future version of himself. The reason why I say this is because Harris is not only as good as Yang Yiming, inside and out, bouncing and physical, but also because Yang has not yet been given the freedom of the ball in the Rockets. In the Rockets, the coach and Yang Yiming positioned themselves as a 3D player, they don't need too much ball, the offense is naturally not initiated by him, the main goal is to defend the opponent's outside guards, if there is a three-point opportunity, just catch the ball.

However, Tobias Harris is clearly different, he should be another strong point for the Clippers to launch their own offense after Luke Williams, and the pick is even above coach Rivers' own son Austin Rivers. However, Yang Yiming sees through that tactical freedom is beneficial to players, but when physical fitness declines and energy is insufficient, a dozen and one that does not rely on cooperation is not necessarily the best choice. Sure enough, he let Harris go on the outside a few times, and Harris did a good job, but he also gave up the idea of playing hard, and was replaced in a hurry.

Finally, face the Clippers Wonder, Montrez Harrell.

Harrell, a beast with big thick braids, powdered head ropes, and black charcoal and iron face, became the only bright spot of the dreary clipper. He specializes in playing inside, running and shooting under the basket, gentle with a few balls, and immediately turned into a bull slaughter, squeezing and arching under the basket, and finally ending with a two-handed dunk.

Whether it is the young Yang Yiming and Capela, or the old Jianghu Nene and Brydon Wright, the Rockets were all defeated before Harrell's unreasonable and brutal play.

Sometimes, regardless of skills, the all-out style of play is the most effective.

Fortunately, the Clippers still had no shooting rate overall, and the enthusiasm aroused by Harrell was consumed by the relentless sound of iron. Yang Yiming played for a few more minutes in the third quarter, played 21 minutes, 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and finally sat on the sidelines in the fourth quarter with peace of mind, and no longer had to think about revenge.

The idea of grievances is enough to resolve in the face of a big victory over things and people.

It's just that Yang Yiming, who was sitting on the sidelines, stared at this group of opponents, and had a few thoughts in his heart:

Wouldn't it be cool if Lue Williams's leaning on the ball, Harris's ball-handling pull, Harrell's pulling, and Harrell's pulling?

He immediately smiled when he thought of this, and shook his head vigorously: What do you think, do you think this is a game, or is it writing?!
