This is a subconscious shout, but it also vividly embodies Barkley's transformation.

It's not convincing, but it's also impressive!

The Great Wall is one of the eight wonders of the world, and the association is magnificent, magnificent, whether it is offensive or defensive during this time, the combination of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian deserves this kind of praise!

The improvement of Yi Jianlian's strength, coupled with the tacit understanding formed between the two in the national team, was thoroughly displayed after the start of the second half.

Billups, who was the Rockets' on-court commander, quickly learned about it.

The Bucks' sideline ball was not played, Billups held the ball to the frontcourt, and directly reached out to make a tactical gesture, which was to let the Rockets play the inside coordination tactics of the fourth or fifth position.

Yao Ming moved from the free-throw line to the low post, Yi Jianlian landed in the bottom corner, and the other three pulled to the other side of the court.

Yao Ming hit Bogut with his back, Villanueva did not assist in the defense, and Yao Ming directly turned around and hit a small hook.

Back on the defensive end, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian once again joined hands to contribute to the successful defense, and Reed's breakthrough layup was interfered with by Yi Jianlian and was directly covered by Yao Ming.

The floor ball was fought, and Yi Jianlian fell down as soon as possible and held the ball firmly in his arms.

The referee blew the scrum, and after Yi Jianlian jumped to win Millsap, the Rockets played another successful defense!

On the offensive end, with the same tactics, Millsap took the ball back, Yao Ming made a quick pass, and Yi Jianlian made a decisive three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Return in!

This time is equivalent to giving the Bucks two cups of poison, and no matter which one you choose, you will be poisoned to death!

Tang Tian was also smiling when he saw this.

To be able to play this effect, the premise is that there must be a large enough offensive threat.

In his previous life, Yi Jianlian has always been fantasized by fans to become the perfect spatial No. 4 position, but in his previous life, Yi Jianlian's shooting stability was too poor, if he remembers correctly, when he joined the Lakers in 2016, in that small-ball era, Yi Jianlian's shooting rate in the preseason was still miserable.

But now, everything has changed!

The confrontation has gone up, the ball quotient has improved, the shooting has stabilized, and the playing confidence has become the real Chinese version of Nowitzki!

On the defensive end, he successfully blocked Millsap, and on the offensive end, he directly cut into the air to eat Villanueva, and also caused the latter's thug to foul.

With Yao Ming, Maddie, and Billups, the three strong points, Yi Jianlian is completely liberated.

It was also with his excellent play that the Rockets launched a wave of 20-6 super attack waves after the opening of the second half, instantly stretching the difference to 20 points.

The competition is also a final conclusion.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Bucks 112-93 at home, ushering in a five-game winning streak for the third time this season.

Yao Ming scored 29 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, Maddy had 23 points and 6 boards, and Billups had 10 points and 12 assists.

Yi Jianlian's performance in his debut was eye-catching, contributing 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks on 7-of-11 shooting!

In just one game, all Rockets fans realized that Yi Jianlian, who can attack and defend well, is the best answer to their No. 4 position in the new season!

And this is not their delusion!

On Dec. 9, after a two-day break, the Rockets embarked on a four-game road trip, starting with the Miami Heat.

Beasley is the No. 2 show in the same grade as Yi Jianlian, and it is also the second level to test Yi Jianlian.

In the end, Yi Jianlian also lived up to expectations, contributing 12 points and 7 rebounds steadily, and the Rockets also successfully defeated the opponent 99-91.

On December 11, the Rockets faced the Timberwolves, the team was bloodless, Yi Jianlian played 30 minutes in this game, and finally he scored 19 points and 8 boards again, and his performance was quite hot.

On Dec. 13, the Rockets flew to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers have risen strongly this season and are currently sitting in sixth place in the West with 19 wins and 10 losses, and the playoffs are in a big position, thanks to the strong play of Roy and Aldridge.

This is also a test for Yi Jianlian's defense, whether he can play well in the face of technical big forwards.

However, in the end, the answer proved that the answer was yes!

Yi Jianlian suffered a little on the defensive end, but the excellent range also made Aldridge suffer.

In the end, Yi Jianlian scored 17 points and 7 boards, compared to Aldridge's 24 points and 7 boards, and did not suffer too much.

The Rockets also beat their opponents 121-103 and won 8 consecutive wins in the season!

And that's far from the end!

Playing the Hornets on December 15 and back-to-back home games against the Hawks on December 16, the Rockets lost first and then won, and their 8-game winning streak was ended, but Yi Jianlian played steadily, contributing 18 points, 6 boards and 16 points and 10 boards, and his performance was quite good.

After starting, Yi Jianlian averaged 16.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game in 6 games, and his performance not only did not lose to Landry, but even better than Millsap last season!

At this time, on December 18, US time, the first round of voting for the NBA All-Star Game was released.

Yao Ming, Maddy, Kobe, Howard, are still the four kings of the league's popularity, and the popularity of James, Duncan, and Wade is also high.

However, in the voting results of the Western Forward, one name is quite eye-catching.

Yi Jianlian received 432,666 votes, second only to Duncan's 442,203 votes, beating Stoudemire, Anthony, Nowitzki, Pau Gasol and other superstars, ranking second among Western Forwards!

The results of this vote immediately caused an uproar among American fans.

Yi Jianlian played well in the first few games, but compared with the few behind him, it is definitely not a level.

"It's a shameful scene in NBA history, and it's not fair!" Some fans were upset on the forum.

"It's really not that I'm discriminating, but Yi really doesn't deserve this voting result!" Some people are extremely upset.

"I call on the fans who voted for Yi to stop doing this, it's not good for anyone!" Someone started the call directly.

……

Not only the fans, but also the players will be asked more or less when they are interviewed.

Naturally, the players of the Rockets can't escape this, but as teammates, most of them choose to avoid talking about it.

At the end of the training session on this day, the reporters saw that they had nothing to gain from interviewing the players, and directly pointed the finger at Tang Tian.

"Coach, can you give me an interview?" A reporter came up, and a group of reporters followed.

Looking at their eager and eager eyes, you can guess what they are going to ask.

But after this was fenced off, it really couldn't go, Tang Tian nodded.

"Yi ranked second in the Western Conference Forward in the first round of voting results of the All-Star Game, which caused a lot of controversy, what do you think about this matter?" The reporter got straight to the point.

"Congratulations to him, he usually trains hard, it's an affirmation from the fans." Tang Tian nodded.

Ha?

The reporters were all stunned, Tang Tian's words were obviously a bit perfunctory.

"Coach, you may not understand what I mean, I mean this matter has caused a lot of controversy, you know that Yiyi's current strength is not enough to reach this position, so I ......"

"Wait." Tang Tian interrupted the reporter's words, and then said, "Isn't the All-Star Game starter chosen by the fans?" Or is it not an entertaining event? ”

Tang Tian's answer was light, but the reporter was speechless.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with this.

In the days before voting restrictions, every time the NBA All-Star Game was held, Americans had to experience the horror of being dominated by Chinese fans......
