As a senior who came to the NBA, Yao Ming gave Li Hai some advice, and the conversation between the two was very pleasant.

Warm and kind, Li Hai has a very good impression of Da Yao.

Yao Ming's later basketball career was ruined by injuries, and Li Hai was very sorry in his previous life, he also lost to injuries, and he knew best the pain of athletes encountering injuries.

Everyone is not very familiar with each other, and he is not easy to say some words, so he can only take the opportunity to chat to share some good habits to prevent injuries.

"The injury is as fierce as a tiger, I almost lost the selection because of the injury, and athletes have to find ways to prolong their professional life, especially with a great height like you, sometimes you really have to pay attention, you can't force your body."

'I think as long as you stay healthy, you can make the biggest contribution to the club and to the national team.'

The Rockets were also one of the teams that stirred up the trade market in the summer, and they traded for two-time scoring champion Tracy McGrady, who had a bad time with the Magic, and Yao Ming formed an "MM" combination to make a big play.

But obviously the team is still running-in, the record is not very good, and they, like the Knicks, need to win to prove themselves.

The game between the two sides started very closely, but neither scored much.

Jamal Crawford and Rockets' Jim Jackson are simply indiscriminate shots, both of them are crazy iron, Tim Thomas played two games normally, this one is thin again, in front of McGrady is like a rookie who has just learned to play, the shooting is almost as bad as a turnover, but fortunately, the opponent Charlie Ward is also miserable in front of Marbury, which makes the score tangled.

Tim Thomas wasn't in good shape, and Lehi was quickly given another chance.

He is getting better and better now, and the team is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Tim Thomas, but this guy has an annual salary of more than 10 million, and the Knicks don't want him to rot in his hands, even if he is a pseudo-starter, he will continue to play him.

This McGrady is still on the court, and he is one of the players that Lehi wants to play against.

He wants to compete with the more famous or characteristic players in the NBA.

The Rockets' current Charlie Ward at the No. 1 position is relatively average, and the real tactical initiator is McGrady, Lehi has been following the opponent closely, but McGrady is not a pitcher, leaning on him to receive the ball in his hand.

Turning to the front, McGrady suddenly took a huge step with the ball in hand.

It was too fast, and when Lehi moved, the opponent was already high up and made a beautiful mid-range shot.

Damn it, a lot of front-backers break through with their first steps that are exceptionally fast, and McGrady is one of them.

Lehi recalled in his mind the defensive rhythm of Artest, Bowen and others, and he should have made physical contact to disrupt the opponent's rhythm while McGrady was receiving the ball.

McGrady apparently didn't take him too seriously as a rookie, and his attention wasn't fully focused on him, and when the Knicks attacked, Lehi suddenly accelerated away and slipped through Marbury's assist to complete the mid-range shot.

The Knicks' interior is still worried, but this time they controlled the foul, although it was difficult to prevent Yao Ming from scoring, but Muhammad and Kurt Thomas continued to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Yao Ming, consuming Yao Ming's physical strength, and completing the task better than the previous games.

In the first quarter, the Knicks trailed by 2 points, and McGrady finally hit a two-point shot in front of him.

But he's also trying, trying to wear each other down by increasing physical contact.

Basketball is played for 48 minutes, and sometimes the defensive effect is not evident at the beginning.

In the second quarter, the Knicks' restriction of the Rockets' McGrady and Yao Ming was still not very successful, but fortunately, Jim Jackson, the only player on the Rockets who had the ability to handle the ball, had a terrible hand, and only McGrady and Yao Ming could be strong against the opponent.

On the Knicks' side, Lehi focused most of his energy on defense, and the offense was mainly the blocking and pick-and-roll of Marbury and Kurt Thomas, and Kurt Thomas felt good today, and this simple offensive routine was also played out many times.

Head coach Lenny Wilkens saw that Lehi was much better against McGrady than Tim Thomas, and he didn't let Tim Thomas play in the second quarter.

At the end of the half, the Knicks trailed by 4 points, but they didn't suffer on the court, but they didn't have players like McGrady and Yao Ming on their side, and their scoring efficiency was slightly worse.

At the beginning of the second half, it was the main lineups of both sides again.

However, to the Knicks' surprise, Tim Thomas's two consecutive low-level turnovers allowed the Rockets to fight back, and within a few minutes, the opponent's four-point lead had become 13 points.

Coach Wilkens was frustrated and took Tim Thomas down again.

What is the situation of Tim Thomas, Lehi will not care too much, how to grasp the opportunity to play, how to help the team win, is what he needs to care about.

Unlike Tim Thomas's loose defense, Lehi showed toughness as soon as he got on the court.

In the second half, there was a certain amount of physical depletion, and McGrady was not so quick to adjust in the face of different defenses, and the same shot, but this time it did not score.

The Knicks started to pick up the rebound and the Rockets were slower on the inside than they were, which was an advantage they had to take advantage of.

Lehi was also a little faster than McGrady, and when Marbury quickly advanced to the opponent's three-point line, he threw the ball with one hand, and Lehi caught the ball with a heavy dunk.

McGrady also realized that the Knicks were a rookie to deal with, and he gradually turned his attention to Lehi.

After a timeout, the Rockets stuffed the ball more inside, and at this point there was no way for Lehi to provide much help, Yao Ming drew fouls on Mohammed and Kurt Thomas in succession, and made all free throws.

At 61:72, the Knicks trailed by 11 points at the end of the third quarter.

Lehi clenched his fists, it was really unpleasant, as if he was desperately chasing points in the fourth quarter, and this was no longer a two-game game.

They are prone to problems in the third quarter of every game, Tim Thomas is the main player but does not play much time, the body is cold when he starts the second half, and once there is a problem, the team is prone to collapse, didn't the manager notice.

The difference of 11 points, I don't know if it can be reversed, he doesn't want to lose again.

"Lee, cheer up, it's no big deal, we're on the field."
