096 Comeback
United Center Arena.
Home of the Chicago Bulls.
The color scheme of the red stadium actually made Yang Yiming, who had been absent for five games, feel a little like going home.
Catching up with the comeback in the battle with the Bulls should be the best choice for him.
The Rockets just knocked down the Nets in the previous game and ended the losing streak, which is simply enlightening, and it has a sharp sense of starting the season again. In this game against the Eastern Youth Army and the out-and-out weak Chicago Bulls, Yang Yiming finally lifted the ban and tried the knife on the bull to lick the blood, which was exactly in line with the hearts of the Red Army rockets.
Yang Yiming couldn't help but feel relaxed.
Although the defending champions started with one win and five defeats, there have been voices in the media and the league: there are doubts about the aging of the Rockets and the unreasonable salary structure (the main spearhead is Chris Paul, who is 40 million, almost locking the space for the Rockets to operate in recent years); There are ridicules for the Rockets' self-surrender identity, as the defending champion, they regard the Golden State Warriors as the biggest imaginary enemy, and the lineup and tactics are everywhere with the Warriors as the core and lose themselves; It is also believed that the physical fitness and mobility of the Rockets front line are insufficient, especially after giving up Ariza and Bamot, they have to rely on PJ Tucker and Yang Yiming to resist the beam. Carmelo Anthony? Everybody knows that you never had to put him in the discussion of defensive strength...
There are also rumors that the Rockets' top brass intends to restart the forward trade and look at new candidates.
Yang Yiming certainly knows that the start is not good, and the team management is not necessarily in a hurry to make a trade that overturns the team framework that has been built all summer. But the problem of the unfavorable front line really can't be separated from himself...
After all, he was banned at the start of the season, and even if he can prove that he is enough to help the team, there is no way to talk about it.
He also needs a chance to prove himself.
So the comeback game against the Chicago Bulls has inexplicably become important.
Even Yu Xiaochun saw the subtle changes in Yang Yiming's mood: "Yiming, how do you feel?" ”
"How? Ah, that's good. I'm fine. ”
Yang Yiming's reply was short and seemed a little absent-minded. His gaze was lost in the dome of the Bulls' arena. The basketball god's jersey was like a sigil at this moment, just pressing on the sky above his head. The words 23 and Jordan look like they weigh a thousand pounds, and they don't move on them. He exhaled and blew upwards, probably wishful thinking to blow away the sigil that belonged to the son of the Hall of Fame, only to find that he was only blowing his own hair weakly, and finally lost his confidence.
The arena went dark.
Before the lights went out, Yang Yiming's eyes caught a glimpse of another rune, with the number 33 written on it.
On the other hand, he looked like he couldn't shake the charm.
The best small forward of all time.
Yang Yiming suddenly remembered the letter he received from Karonsky I last season. Think of how the letter mentions how Kalonsky I's YACAP program has brought together two unborn young talents, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, to achieve something unattainable.
In the darkness he felt the loss of the reference around him.
Yang Yiming seemed to be the only one left.
Is it the wrong choice? Maybe you should listen to them... Ganging up?
Yang Yiming shook his head hard, trying to discard this self-denial doubt from his mind.
The announcer at the scene was the first to read out the names of the visiting team's starters, and Harden and Paul were all listed. Harden received a not-so-enthusiastic applause, and Paul's applause was half a boo. Yang Yiming was also listed in the starting lineup, and when his name was read, the boos he received were far louder than the applause.
This came as a surprise to him.
In just the past few days, has he fallen from the pride of the Chinese, the new favorite of the alliance, and the baby of the media to the object of boos?
Coach Mike D'Antoni arranged for him to be the starter, hoping that he would take advantage of the opponent's weakness and have an obvious intention to regain his form and feel earlier. But apart from Team Rocket, doesn't anyone want to see Yang Yiming come back soon?
Everything is overturned, does he need to fight alone again?
In a trance, the ball is jumping!
Yang Yiming stepped outside the three-point line and faced the opponent's top card in this formation, Zach LaVine, the dunk champion of the year!
Yang Yiming probably thought he was ready. He is still confident in his body. Although Zach LaVine talked about explosiveness and wanted to rank himself second, and probably no one on the court dared to say that he was the first, Yang Yiming still felt that the gap between the two in hardware was very small. Yang Yiming is still younger than LaVine, and his speed and bounce may not be as good, but his arm span and confrontation are not at a loss, coupled with the experience of successfully watching all kinds of sharp knives in the defense league, Yang Yiming does not think that LaVine will be much more difficult to deal with than those people.
But it may be that it is such a big thing that he has long been out of place.
Or maybe it's a five-game ban, and the battle is out. Under Yang Yiming's nose, Laven actually changed direction and dribbled in front of his body, and passed him alive. Yang Yiming pulled his arm and didn't hold it, the referee's whistle didn't sound, and Laven was like a white high-speed train at a speed, jumping straight under the basket to lick the basket and score.
Yang Yiming was in a trance for a while.
It's as if the Yang Yiming whose soul was out of his body just now and was broken out in one step was just a shell he left on the floor.
The boos from the United Center at the scene brought him back to reality.
His teammates wanted to help him get back to the game early, especially after being singled out so easily by LaVine, who also knew how to help his partner rebuild his confidence.
The team's boss, James Harden, struggled to intercept the opponent's pass, hesitated for a long time in the backcourt, and did not hand it to core guard Chris Paul, nor did he throw it to the fast Clint Capela from a distance, but found Yang Yiming, who was already defended. Yang Yiming took the basketball head-on, turned around and shook off the defense, and took advantage of the gap outside the three-point line to hit a three-point jumper.
Finally suppressed the boos that were about to rise.
The feel is still there.
Yang Yiming thought secretly in order to encourage himself.
But the technical action just now doesn't seem to be what I'm best at: catching the ball, dribbling and making movements, and shooting three-pointers while on the move. That seems to be the technique of a short defender. When did he learn it? This summer, he was in Germany, and he obviously practiced and learned, all of which were the big striker Nowitzki. Even the skill of "looking at the head" should be more applied to the three-point shot on the spot!
In the midst of this affirmation and denial of themselves, the Rockets returned to the defensive round.
It's still Zach LaVine.
LaVine faced Yang Yiming again, did not start dribbling in advance, but moved left and right with different spying steps, keeping an eye on the flaws.
"If it weren't for the explosive force, this probing step wouldn't have had much effect on me." Yang Yiming was secretly pondering, but was caught by LaVine for the slightest hesitation, pressed the baseline and slipped to the back of the rebound, and went to the basket to put the ball into the basket!
The duel of the masters really can't tolerate a momentary distraction!
Yang Yiming's comeback battle was hit by a beating! (https:)
