What attracts fans to this game is not just the so-called 'China Derby'.

There is also a clash of the overall strength of the two teams.

The Hornets have a balanced offense and defense, endless blocking and pick-and-roll, and the twin stars in the backcourt are shining brightly, shocking the league. The Rockets have formed a triumvirate of Yao Ming, T-Mac, and Artest this season, and their strength has been strengthened at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and their strength should not be underestimated. The current record of the two teams, one is first in the West and the other is fourth in the West, and the battle between the two teams will be very interesting.

Of course, that being said, but this season's Rockets are not in a good situation.

Maddie is a cup person, for a star to succeed, hard work and talent are indispensable, luck is very important, but you have to work hard to avoid worshipping Buddha. Soon after Maddie entered the league, she broke away from her cousin's shadow, and at that time she was proud of the spring breeze in the Magic team, a young man in fresh clothes, a boy chasing the wind, and the honor of scoring champion was taken into her arms.

After that, when he first came to the Rockets, it was okay, but in the next few years, injuries seriously plagued this guy who may have surpassed Kobe Bryant in singles at his peak.

Now Maddy, plagued by injuries and unable to hold his head up, is gradually losing his fighting spirit, and he may only break out once when people think he is not helping the Rockets and needs to be cleared. In the past few days, his injury may have eased a little, but this season, the Rockets can be said to have been supported by Yao Ming.

Atai is new to the city, and needs more running-in.

Prior to this game, he had scored 20+ in two consecutive games and looked to be back in form, and this game, he will definitely continue his performance and prove that he is still the same McGrady.

And Zhong Yu, after five days of injury and suspension, is now coming back, and he will also find a place to prove himself, although Zhong Yu may not necessarily be in the opposite position with Maddie, but the dialogue between Zhong Yu and Maddie has also been very popular by many people.

plus Yao Ming and the boxing champion on the inside, and how many assists can Paul get...... Whether Yao Ming can have a block for 15 consecutive games - these have become the highlights of this game.

Before the game, Yao Ming came to find Zhong Yu on purpose, and he came to Zhong Yu's residence in person. Zhong Yu almost couldn't believe it when he opened the door: "Brother Yao, how did you find this place." ”

Yao Ming smiled: "Come and see you, your leg is injured, is it better?" ”

"It's much better, anyway, I can come back to tomorrow's game."

"You'd better be careful." Yao Ming said: "There are so many injuries, and one injury is a lifelong thing." I see the way you play...... There are more and more breakthroughs, and you have to pay attention to them. ”

Zhong Yu snorted: "I know, it's just that other teams in the league now won't let me shoot easily and catch the ball easily...... This is also a reluctant choice. ”

"I also know this, I'm just saying, you have to pay attention to your body in the future. Now that I'm young, I can fight, but when I'm older, it's very difficult to get a lot of things back. ”

"Well, thank you." Zhong Yu was indeed a little moved, after all, he has been an old friend for many years, and he can always give himself a lot of warmth.

……

The game between the Hornets and the Rockets has officially begun!

In this game, China's circle stations naturally participated in the live broadcast, and others, there were six local stations, and four online video websites also participated in the live broadcast. In addition, the whole of Asia, basically most countries have live broadcasts, Yao Ming's influence now covers the whole world, Zhong Yu's is also catching up, they may have close to 500 million fans in Asia, and there are a lot of people watching this game.

"It's okay!" Although he knew the truth about Zhong Yu's injury, Paul still asked with concern, and there was a meaning in this, which was also to ask Zhong Yu if he had recovered his state now.

"Yes!" Zhong Yu nodded, although there was nothing sharp in his eyes, but his eyes looked so bright that it was impossible to look directly at him.

Paul was relieved, he knew that Jongwook had indeed recovered.

He stretched out his right hand and smiled slightly.

Zhong Yu lightly high-fived him, and the right palms of the two were separated with a touch, and then they each said cheers.

This game is about to begin!

The commentators of the circle station are Sun Zhengping and Director Zhang, these two people can be regarded as old partners. In the past games, they have been responsible for commenting on many important games, and they are old friends with Chinese fans. This 'Chinese derby' allows them to explain, and it can be regarded as complementing each other.

Zhong Yu could feel the support of the home fans.

Even if he didn't perform very well before the 'injury', even if he didn't see everyone for five days, the current fans still regard him as the absolute trump card of the Hornets.

"The game is about to begin." Sun Zhengping said: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of this game, the Rockets and the Hornets, two teams with Chinese players? ”

Director Zhang smiled and said: "In this game, both teams have to play their own style. The Hornets' average margin over their opponents this season is 9.6 points, which is a scary statistic. Moreover, they have also had 10 games in which their opponents have kept their opponents under 90 points, but they themselves are averaging 107 points per game. This shows that the Hornets are strong in offense and defense. This season, the Rockets are also a defense-oriented team, and the game between these two teams is, in some ways, to see who can defend the opponent. ”

"So, what about the two Chinese players?"

"That's exactly what I want to say, this season, when Jongwook stayed on the court, the Hornets scored a lot more points. Now, Zhong Yu is back on the court, and the five days of injury and suspension will not affect his game. His contribution to the Hornets is obvious, and today, if Jongwook can play to his full potential, the Hornets' victory will be much easier. And Yao Ming, he has supported the Rockets this season, and if Yao Ming is killed, the Rockets will be in a stalemate...... Therefore, it can be said that the two Chinese players have become characters who can influence this game. ”

"This is the real Chinese derby!" Sun Zhengping finally summed up, and then said: "Zhong Yu has just returned from injury, and I don't know if he can continue his previous form of scoring 40 points per game...... He's really important to the Hornets. ”

……

The competition is officially on!

The first ball is a jump ball.

Chandler slapped the rebound away from Yao Ming's head.

Now, the starting line-ups for both teams are:

Rockets - Alstom, Battier, Maddy, Scola, Yao Ming. Hornets - Paul, Jongyu, Peja, West, Chandler.

The Hornets regrouped their starting five! Now, Zhong Yu, Peja, and West have returned from injury, although they have been affected by injuries and may have some problems with their status, but this lineup is really down-to-earth.

It's Battier who defends Zhongyu! Battier was called by Kobe Bryant as the best defender in the league, and he honed his fundamentals for four years at Duke University, with his own set of methods.

For the first ball, the Hornets went on offense.

Paul passes the ball to Chandler, who passes back to Jongwook.

The fans looked nervously at Jongwook, who faced Battier and forced acceleration to his right. Battier immediately followed, this guy is not fast, but he grasped the most difficult place for Zhong Yu to break through, if Zhong Yu insists on killing the basket, it is very likely that he will be forced into a dead corner and make a mistake.

Zhong Yu decided to try his touch with the first ball, jumped up directly, and made a three-point jumper.

Battier quickly caught up, but it was a bit too late...... It's just that the basketball flew out, and Chandler grabbed the rebound and handed it to West for a high jumper.

The first ball was missed, Zhong Yu frowned himself, but he didn't have any more ideas, but the fans were a little disappointed.

The Rockets began to attack, Yao Ming stood on the inside, and the street ball king Alston controlled the ball over half court and hung the basketball to Yao Ming, Yao Ming controlled the ball and bounced on the ground a few times, and then hooked his hand to shoot and missed. However, he grabbed the rebound, and Maddie made a shot from the outside, but missed.

The Hornets regained control of the ball, and Paul broke through to the inside and then passed to Peja, who faced Maddy, didn't panic, and made a jumper. It can be seen that Maddie is not very defensive in this game.

Basketball hits!

The first few goals didn't look like a Chinese derby at all......

After Jong Wook returned from injury in five games, it seems that he has no ...... today The first three jumpers all missed. Jongwook himself knew the reason, he was blinded by Battier once, and at the same time, this guy made his breakthrough less effective...... Battier's physical fitness is not top-notch, but with his experience to defend Zhongyu, he still has an advantage.

The Rockets use mark-to-man defense, and Jongwook hasn't forced them out to wrap himself up anyway.

"Zhong Yu's condition is not very good, is it...... Is it true that he has lost his aura in this belated rookie wall, as some have said? ”

"Impossible!" Zhong Yu, who was a more determined fan, immediately retorted: "You should have enough confidence in him...... Zhong Yu is this Zhong Yu, and he has not encountered any so-called rookie wall...... In short, he was able to prove himself with good performances in no time. ”

Battier defended Chung Yu a little bit, and soon the game was in the sixth minute of the first quarter.

The score was 11-9, with the Hornets leading by 2 points temporarily.

However, Chandler was in a bit of a bad form, and Yao Ming made two fouls for him, leaving him a little disgraced. Now that the ball is back with the Hornets, Paul passed the ball to Jongwook just outside the three-point line.

"Jongwook received another pass." Many people's spirits are put on the court, Zhong Yu has already lost three balls, this time, can he restore the majesty of the shadow assassin before?
