On January 10, 2017, at 8 p.m. local time in the United States, the Trailblazers returned to Houston.

The first round of the battle between the two teams in Portland happened to be the first game after Yu Xiaochun asked for the "block cheats" from Scott Kalonsky III, and as a result, Yang Yiming, who had the blessing of cheats, killed all sides in the game, and one person sent a hot pot feast to the four stars of the Trail Blazers, including the opponent's leading star, Damian Lillard, the popular No. 0 agent in Chinese.

Today, Lillard returned from injury, and CJ McCollum, the team's second-in-command who replaced him in the first two games, also continued to play, eyeing the tiger.

On the other hand, although the boss James Harden seems to be recovering at speed, out of the principle of prudent use, head coach Mike D'Antoni still decided to keep No. 13 on the bench for observation.

Chris Paul leads, Capela, Gordon, Anderson, Ariza starts. Yang Yiming, Green and other fierce generals are waiting for you, ready to join the battle at any time!

I don't know if the course of the battle tonight will still be as sudden as the last time when the four-blood cap in a single section was as abrupt and dangerous as the last time!

1/

The Rockets still got off to a strong start, and in the first quarter, when the back-to-back tired Trail Blazers were still looking for a respite, they once again sacrificed a three-point weapon to take the lead. Yang Yiming was in the wind field in the previous game, first opened the situation with a sharp and resolute block, and then received a lot of praise from Coach D'Antoni for his three-point continuous shooting performance after the game - there is no normality, virtual and real, so that the opponent can not be guarded, in order to create the greatest threat. In fact, as a rookie, he has been running in with the team for almost half a season, especially watching the two superstars James Harden and Chris Paul play, Yang Yiming himself has more experience in this routine: Harden and Paul will take the initiative to turn on the offensive mode in the first quarter, just to limit the opponent's defense with scoring, once the opponent begins to fear their offense and is afraid to look forward and backward, they can do whatever they want, with assists and other ways to help the team!

Coupled with the performance of the last game, tonight's Yang Yiming is more familiar with this change, and he plans to draw gourds in the same way and learn from superstars to play!

Sure enough, in the first quarter, Paul, who led the team, led the team in the first four rounds with individual offense, three-point shooting, throwing, jumping, and breaking layups. Yang Yiming saw it in his eyes, the game played to 7 minutes and 15 seconds, he replaced Ariza on the court, and after coming on the court, he received Paul in the bottom corner to break through the ball along the bottom line, and directly pulled out three points.

Seeing that Yang Yiming was in a good hand and had a strong desire to attack, Paul immediately understood and continued to feed him the ball in the next round. This is a trio of him and Gordon Paul. Gordon feinted a shot from beyond the three-point line, Lillard stuck tightly, and he didn't have a chance to turn the ball to Paul on the same side, and he quickly inserted it to the basket. All the attention of the Trail Blazers was drawn by Gordon's sudden run and began to shrink towards the restricted area, but Yang Yiming stepped back at the right time and found a gap at the free throw line, and Paul's pass followed, and he hit a two-point shot.

5 points in one minute!

But Yang Yiming's performance continues!

Paul really has a natural sense of smell for teammates who are in hot form on the court, and this time the time is about to run out of 24 seconds, and all the Rockets players, including Gordon Anderson Capela, rushed to respond, but Paul only selected Yang Yiming, who was still one step away from the three-point line and only intended to help open up space.

"Shoot! The time is coming. As soon as he received the ball, he heard Paul shouting a warning that the attack was running out in 24 seconds. Although this was more than his most comfortable range, the urgency did not allow him to think too much, and he made a long-range three-point shot and hit the board.

Yang Yiming, who threw three points into the whistle, was a little incredible, and when he ran back to the half-court defense, he looked up and down at the shooter he had just scored, but he didn't expect this move to further ignite the passion of the home team fans. "My hands are so hot that I can't believe it", is this going to become the next popular gesture at the Toyota Center after Uncle Mu's finger shaking and Harden's salting action?!

The blood-pumping hot feel isn't over yet.

With 26 seconds left in the first quarter, CJ McCollum controlled the offensive tempo and pressed the clock to the last 3 seconds before making a solid mid-range shot, helping the Trail Blazers increase their scoring to 19 points, leaving the Rockets with 6 seconds. The rocket didn't call a timeout, but still threw the ball directly to the midfield, and passed it to Yang Yiming, who was running first, after a conduction! Yang Yiming got the ball outside the three-point line, dribbled under his crotch and shook off the defender, looked up at the clock - 3.4 seconds - enough time, three steps to the basket!

Although the trail blazers player who chased back caught up with Yiming, he was no longer able to form a block head-on, and his hand was on his left shoulder, but Yang Yiming still used his right hand to pick up the basket and shoot!

0.2 seconds!

Two plus one dozen of the quasi-pressure whistle!

After hitting the free throw, the Rockets took a six-point lead 25-19 and ended the first quarter.

Yang Yiming came off the bench for more than 4 minutes and scored 11 points!

While he didn't know that later in the day, the Rockets' acquaintance, his predecessor Lou Williams, would score 27 points in the first quarter at the Warriors' head, but his 11 points off the bench were no slouch. It turns out that the Rockets and the Trail Blazers tied almost every quarter in the last three quarters, and the cornerstone of the real victory happened to come from the point advantage in the first quarter!

However, he can really only score in the first quarter of the bench time, and he can't be considered a real scorer. There were only 3 minutes left in the game, Lillard turned over and threw after hitting his back, narrowing the gap to 3 points.

By this time, he had already scored 20 points, but only his next offense and defense were the most significant for the game.

Paul shouldered the team first, and with Yang Yiming's just right position, he was like a butterfly around a tree and a flower, and successively shook off the front and back pinching of three defenders, and pulled the rod to make a layup. Paul scored 37 points and 11 assists in this game, and was the hero of the Rockets' victory.

Switching to the Rockets' defense, although the ten-game block cheats provided by Kalonsky III at the time have long since expired, the same analysis still works against the same opponent. This time, the Trail Blazers handed over the hope of counterattacking to the second-in-command CJ McCollum, and the defender of the big man who covered him with the ball was Yang Yiming. He vividly recalls one of McCollum's technical traits is that he will use pick-and-rolls to switch defenses, and shoot quickly the moment the big and small defenders are exchanged. He took a gamble, and when he changed defenses, he saw that McCollum already had a chance to make a shot, and jumped directly, but he didn't expect to hit crookedly and block the shot, and the Rockets still maintained a 113-106 lead in more than a minute!

In the next round, it will be crucial for both the offensive Rockets and the defensive Trail Blazers. Paul controlled the ball and handed it to Yang Yiming with 10 seconds left in the offensive time, who looked around with the ball, and a guard from Paul Gordon Green surrounded him for a chance to receive the ball. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Yang Yiming shook a shot, and actually took advantage of the space opened up by his teammates' running, dribbled sideways once, and strode towards the penalty area. Who would have thought that a hairy rookie would do it on his own and execute such an important attack? But the Trailblazers are not allowed to think too much, center Nurkic came to supplement the defense, Yang Yiming was prepared, and after absorbing the collision in the air, the small hook hand threw the ball!

The referee's whistle was bitten in the mouth, but it was not blown!

At such a decisive moment, all the success or failure of the victory or defeat must be left to the players on the field to decide by their own hard work!

Fortunately, Yang Yiming was even better - the basketball thrown by the hook hand was turned four or five times on the basket, and several pairs of big hands jumped up and down one after another, not daring to touch it, for fear of causing interference with the ball violation, but the ball finally fell into the net!

With a 9-point lead, the Trail Blazers are gone.

The last time it was 4 big hats, this time it was a killer performance one after the other, Rocket No. 17, although it has only fought twice, it seems to have become the biggest sufferer of this Trailblazers!
