In fact, as a player who participated in the playoffs for the first time, Yao Ming's performance in the first half was commendable. He did not hesitate to attack O'Neill after the start of the game, and many frontal attacks made people feel that he was very different from the previous "aggressive surname". Yao Ming was full of confidence, and the inside attack was full of threats, putting O'Neal under a lot of pressure.

Once O'Neal loses his way, he can't find himself offensively, and he is even more careless defensively. While his score was extremely low, he also fouled Yao Ming many times. Although O'Neal invited Yao Ming to eat hot pot in the first quarter, he received three fouls in the half and had to leave the game early.

It's a pity that Yao Ming only exerts his power when O'Neal is on the court. When O'Neal sat on the cold bench, Yao Ming didn't take the opportunity to score on the inside, and his control of the rebound was not advantageous.

Throughout the second half, the two protagonists of the Yao Shark battle seemed to disappear, and they did not reflect the demeanor of the league's top center at all. O'Neal is puzzled by foul issues, while Yao Ming is plagued by physical issues. Ma Long, who has terrifying upper body strength and flexible footwork, is also very good at defending Yao Ming, and Yao Ming can't find the feeling of attacking at all. As soon as the heat of the Yao shark duel dropped, the heavy responsibility of the game fell on the defenders.

In the playoffs, Carl Malone, who was a small player in the regular season, showed his role, especially when O'Neal came off the court and he defended Yao Ming, the veteran's performance was really impressive.

Malone's first lesson to Yao Ming came 45 seconds before the end of the first quarter, when Great Wall singled out Malone on the right side of the basket, who was clinging to his back. Yao Ming, who was gradually familiar with the back beating, ate hard twice backwards, and then used all his strength to fight against it - but the Ma Long behind him suddenly disappeared! At the same time as Yao Ming exerted his strength, Ma Long took a lightning step, and the audience watched as Yao Ming lost his balance, stumbled, and sat on the ground with a "plop".

To say that Yao Ming is convinced that it is fake, Ma Long's small actions once made the little giant angry, it was too bad, it was not the first time he suffered this loss, the bad old man of Divac liked to clean him up like this before.

In the second half, Malone still confronted Yao Ming, and 4 minutes and 19 seconds before the end of the third quarter, Yao Ming received a pass from Francis under the basket, and the basket was close at hand. I saw Ma Long poke out his iron sand palm, and with the wind in his palm, he slapped the ball away from Yao Ming's hand. The ball went straight out of bounds, only to see Ma Long turn over and jump up, grabbing the ball with one hand in the air, this time it was even more ruthless, and the ball was smashed on Yao Ming's leg like a meteor and bounced out of bounds.

Malone's two moves had greatly damaged the Rockets' morale at the time. Yao Ming was expected to take advantage of the Lakers' interior emptiness to score in those two stages, but both heads-up losses were lost to Malone. After those two shots, Yao Ming was immediately replaced by Van Gundy, and the Lakers turned the corner when O'Neal fouled too much.

O'Neal scored just two points and three fouls throughout the first half, played just three minutes in the third quarter, and ate a fourth time. Malone targeted Yao Ming in the last nine minutes of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, and Yao Ming did not score 1 point on 0-of-4 shooting. In the end, the Lakers won 17 points, Yao Ming hit three shots in a row, and scored 21 points on 8-of-19 shooting, which looked good in numbers, but the effect was far worse, especially on the other side of the coast, there was a guy named Big Ben who scored 55 points.

Malone scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 7-of-12 shooting, playing very beautifully. "When Shaq ate those fouls, everybody knew what they were supposed to do," Malone said in a postgame interview, "and it wasn't anything special, I just did what I could." Yao is so tall that it's hard to defend. But I've been here long enough, I've had enough experience, I'm going to use my body, and no one can easily beat me here. ”

"Including that No. 3 in Detroit?" A reporter immediately asked Malone.

At that time, Malone didn't know that Hua Ben had cut another 50+, and he said disdainfully: "Including anyone, I know that No. 3 got some terrible points in the last game, but so what? We're not the Knicks, and God won't be by his side every game..."

Ben Wallace scored 55 points, still played 48 minutes, and had 21 rebounds and nine blocks, and if it weren't for one of the blocks that were judged to be interference, he would have been a playoff triple-double. Immediately, a reporter from Detroit reminded Malone.

The ease on Malone's face quickly disappeared, and he stared at the reporter and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

All reporters nodded.

Ma Long's face suddenly collapsed, and he said blankly: "How is this possible? How is this possible? What about Detroit... ”

"Detroit, like you, are on a two-game winning streak, and the New Yorkers are basically certain to be eliminated." The reporters expressed regret.

Malone then declined to be interviewed and hobbled back to the locker room, where Detroit was the one he hated the most, because their No. 3 was very troublesome and very good at defending the interior.

Regardless of the East and West, no upsets were born, and the highly-seeded teams all ended in victories, and the Timberwolves undoubtedly defeated the Jazz, with Garnett and Cassel combining to score 76 points.

Garnett scored a game-high 45 points yesterday, setting his playoff scoring record, and he also grabbed 20 rebounds to continue cementing his position in the MVP rankings. If it weren't for Huaben's really good performance, Garnett would be the big brother of the playoffs right now.

The difference in strength between the Timberwolves and the Jazz ensures that they can defeat their opponents in the shortest possible time, and their opponent in history is the Denver Nuggets, but this unlucky team fell on the door of the playoffs, and it was for the Timberwolves to take it out. After the game, the Pistons and Knicks had not finished playing at that time, and Garnett naturally didn't know the score.

At the post-match press conference, Garnett, who won a double double, was proud, and he also said in an interview with reporters: "I got such a result under the inspiration of Ben, because I thought, since Ben can get 50+20+, why can't I do it?" So I tried it out in this game, but unfortunately, my teammates were too good for me to take all the shots, so I stopped scoring after 45 points. ”

Garnett is telling the truth, after the last game, Huaben suddenly threatened him on the MVP voting list, and the Wolves immediately decided to show his dominance, so he hated to bully the Jazz's interior in this game, in fact, the Jazz's interior is a little stronger than the Knicks, and in the face of Garnett's bug, they really have nothing to fight back.

The wolf king was triumphant here, and suddenly a reporter asked, "Kevin, are you saying that you got this result under the inspiration of Mr. Wallace?" If he gets that record again today, will you continue to be motivated? ”

You think he's Chamberlain? Garnett laughed at the reporter's whimsy in his heart, and he slapped the table and said, "Yes, I'm the MVP." ”

It just so happened that a reporter's mobile phone rang, which of course caused the wolf king's displeasure, but then more people's mobile phones rang, which made Garnett angry, this is the scene of the press conference. As a result, after the reporters answered the phone, someone calmly told him: "Congratulations in advance, Kevin, you can break out again in the next game, Ben Wallace just scored the 50th point, and there are 2 minutes and 40 seconds left before the end of the game." ”

Garnett swallowed with difficulty and said with a dry smile: "Dude, you are really good at joking, hehe, you are so humorous..."

All the reporters below looked at him expectantly, and said in unison: "Whoever is joking is Sima." ”

Then in the second round of the second round on the 22nd, there were many players who played well, such as Webb and Stojakovic of the Kings, Wade of the Heat, and Duncan of the Spurs.

Webber, who was injured in last year's playoff clash with the Mavericks, silenced critics with a double-double today, and the Kings boss proved his worth in his first playoff game. Stojakovic hit five 3-pointers today, and the league's best shooter broke the King's personal record for 3-pointers in a single playoff game.

Wade showed his early adversity, hitting a 1.3-second running shot with 1.3 seconds left to make sure his team had an absolute advantage against the Hornets.

Duncan on the Spurs' side played very actively against Gasol today, and Shi Fo jumped and jumped to make San Antonio fans think that he had become the king of wolves, but he scored 29 points and 17 rebounds, and the opponent's total score did not exceed 70 points.

It's just that these people are very humble in the face of the media, and Wade, a good boy, swears that he still has a long, long way to go, and Huaben's two consecutive 50+ and 20+ games make the players dare not splash easily.
