At the beginning of the game, after Yao Ming won the jump ball, he continued to play against Brian Grant.

Brian Grant looked at the giant in front of him, quite helpless, he watched Yao Ming pull to the outside, hesitated for a while, and followed.

In the opening court, Steve Francis used a single to end this wave of offense, the basketball smashed to the edge of the basket and bounced out, Yao Ming failed to get stuck and failed to grab the rebound.

The Heat grabbed the rebound and gave the ball to Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones was also singles, but he broke into the middle range and passed the ball immediately when he saw that there was no chance.

That's the difference between Eddie Jones and Steve Francis, Eddie Jones is happy to pass the ball, while Steve Francis only knows he can do it alone when he gets the ball.

As a result, the offensive of the rocket often came to a standstill.

Eddie Jones passed the ball to Travis Best, who cut in the middle, and Travis Best received the ball, raised his hand to make a layup and scored 2 points, opening the scoring first.

Then, the rocket attack.

Francis broke through with the ball, Yao Ming quickly pulled the inside line, pulled to near the middle distance, got a chance to open the space, opened his hand to ask for the ball, and Francis didn't give it.

Then, Yao Ming watched Boss Fergus rush into the penalty area, face the double attack, jump up and pass, and give the ball to James Posey in the bottom corner.

Posey could only shoot, otherwise the attack stalled.

With a bang, the ball hit the iron.

In the opening game, the two teams were based on defense, but the Heat's offensive performance was better, so the Heat took the initiative on the court, and in the opening six minutes, the Heat took an 11-8 lead.

Yao Ming's performance was not bad, but he really didn't have many chances, he only made one shot, hit a shot, and got 2 points and 3 rebounds.

After pausing time, Tang Shuai quickly made adjustments and withdrew Yao Ming.

Then, after the first quarter, the Rockets trailed 19-26, and it was clear that the Rockets were suppressed by the Heat's defense.

……

During the interval, there was silence in the rocket conference room.

Leslie Alexander slowly pulled out a cigar and lit it with a match, hiding his entire face in the smoke.

The game continued in the second quarter, and in the face of a seven-point deficit in the first quarter, Tang Shuai made a change, he changed Yao Ming again, and the tactics also changed.

He asked backup point guard Muchinolis and backup point guard Jamal Crawford to play to Yao Ming's position every time they took the ball and attacked, seeking to cooperate with Yao Ming.

So, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat attacked first, and the Heat's backup point guard Mike James scored a three-pointer from the outside, and the difference expanded to 10 points.

Then, after the rocket's attack, after the outside line was blocked and dismantled, Yao Ming pulled to the vacant position, received the pass, raised his hand and threw it, and hit it directly!

It's the Heat's offense again, it's still Mike James who gets the ball, he holds the ball and breaks through, bursts into the mid-range position, and shoots directly.

Bang, didn't go in.

Defensive rebound, Yao Ming judged the right landing point, stuck Brian Grant behind him, and with a slight tiptoe with both feet, the big hand won the rebound very easily.

After taking the rebound, Yao Ming stepped towards the front court and gave the ball to Jamal Crawford.

Crawford took the ball and rushed to the front court quickly, the fast break was not completed, the rhythm slowed down, Yao Ming happened to go to the middle at this time, gave a single block, and Crawford immediately rushed to the inside.

In a hurry, the Heat could only pinch Jamal Crawford, and Jamal Crawford quickly found Yao Ming standing outside the three-point line with a pass.

After receiving the basketball, Yao Ming hesitated for a moment, and then opened his hand to shoot a three-point shot.

Swish!

It's still a crisp and loud sound of wiping the net, and it's in!

"China's Yao scored another goal, or a three-pointer, his hand was soft, and with a super height of 2.26 meters, he couldn't defend at all!"

After Yao Ming scored 5 points in a row, the camera went to Tang Shuai on the sidelines.

It just so happened that Qiao Hai also wanted to see Tang Shuai's current expression, he had been suppressing Yao Ming, who was unwilling to use it, and under the reasonable tactical arrangement, he stood up at this time and scored 5 points in a row.

Perhaps, Tang Shuai's idea at this time was that if he had used Yao Ming like this earlier, the rocket would not have lost five in a row, and he would not face the crisis of getting out of class at this moment.

……

Da Yao scored continuously, and in the next timeout, Tang Shuai did not replace Da Yao.

Seeing this, Qiao Hai knew that this time, Tang Shuai couldn't suppress Da Yao, and the outbreak that belonged to Da Yao was finally coming!

……

Alonzo Mourning has been reimbursed for the season due to kidney disease surgery, and the Heat has no one inside, Yao Ming is naturally reckless, after continuous scoring points, in the half game, Yao Ming has already shot 7 of 9 and scored 17 points.

It is only 2 points away from the 19 points that Charles Barkley bet on.

McBrin in the commentary box has already begun to talk about Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the air conditioner: "Poor Kenny, his ass is about to be kissed by Charles's big mouth!" ”

But the score on the court shows that Yao Ming, who is such a big explosion, failed to let the Rockets overtake the score, because the score was 56:50, and the Heat were in front, and they were still 6 points ahead.

"Steve's form is so bad that the team's perimeter offense is completely rotten." Qiao Hai shook his head and explained to Alexander why the rocket was lagging behind.

Alexander also shook his head: "But Yao broke out, didn't he?" ”

"That's right, Yao broke out, but his tactical position was so low that at critical moments, Yao's power couldn't be fully unleashed, so unless we saw a Yao who scored 50 points like crazy, or a Steve who found his form in the second half, we should lose this game."

Qiao Hai raised his head and looked at everyone: "So, we should discuss it, should Rudy get out of class?" ”

……

In the second half of the Rockets and the Heat, Steve Francis really failed to find his form, relying on Yao Ming, the Rockets were unable to support themselves.

However, this game is still very valuable for the Rockets.

As soon as the second half began, Tang Shuai replaced Yao Ming, and on the first ball of the second half, Yao Ming received the ball in the low post, used a low single, and turned around for a layup, which defeated Bryan Grant's defense, successfully scored 2 points, and finally broke 19 points in his personal score!

Then, Yao Ming scored in a row, scoring 11 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and his personal single-game score came to 28 points!

After three quarters, the Rockets trailed by nine points.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets continued to be tenacious and still hoping to turn the tables around.

Yao Ming, who was in excellent form, also continued to score points, scoring another 6 points in the fourth quarter with his physical fitness declining.

At the end of the game, the Heat defeated the Rockets 105-100 at home, giving the Rockets a wave of six consecutive defeats!

Yao Ming slashed 34 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, although he lost, he was the best in the game!

Even McBlin was chanting, "A pitcher of 2.26 meters!" He cast his hand and announced his arrival to the Alliance! ”
