At the end of the third quarter, the score was 61:66, the Rockets did not have Artest, and the Knicks finally took the opportunity to narrow the score to five points, and entered the fourth quarter with this point difference, and the final quarter was much better.

Zhang Yu changed his personal count to 28 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, in addition to his play, Quentin Richardson was excellent in the third quarter, hitting three three-pointers in a single quarter, and was also the hero of the Knicks' scoring chase. The striker who is physically excellent has started to recover after D'Antoni's arrival.

The Rockets also stepped up, and they were able to maintain a five-point lead because of Scola's excellent performance. After three quarters, the Argentine was still very solid and had already increased his score to 18 points.

On the pitch, Scola is the face of the words "hard work, hard work". Yao Ming took away too many offensive opportunities, but Scola had no complaints, scoring a career-high 28 points in the last game, and grabbing 15 rebounds in the next game, which is the best example of Scola among NBA international players!

D'Antoni shouted to his players: "That Argentine is underrated, we have to guard against him, we have to keep him out of the three-second zone. ”

In the final quarter, the bench period was the best chance for the Knicks to chase points, and Yao Ming got enough rest to overtake the score before Yao Ming came on the court, which was the key to the Knicks' victory.

The two teams played against each other, and the Knicks players on the court became: Duhon, Crawford, Richardson, Chandler, Kenyon Martin.

Crawford regained his touch in the final quarter and began to score.

The Knicks' small lineup was not good defensively, but the ability to grab points was good, and the game time came to 7 minutes and 15 seconds, the score of the two teams became 69:70, and the Rockets' lead was only one point.

Rockets fans are hurting again, if their team is not really a strong team, the weakness in the final quarter is definitely the most critical reason. The Rockets are not new to this problem, and they have always been overturned by their opponents in the final quarter, even if they take a big lead in the first three quarters. To watch the rocket race, you must have a big heart and prepare a quick-acting heart-saving pill with you.

Adelman originally wanted Yao Ming to rest off the court for a while, but in this case, it is estimated that he will not have to play again, once he is overtaken by the Knicks, with the attributes of the Rockets dropping the chain at a critical moment, this game is more auspicious!

Yao Ming was criticized for not being a good leader, and because of his physical problems, he could only be a leader in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, when the team needed him the most, Da Yao often had enough spare energy. Once his body is insufficient, his shooting percentage will immediately drop to a miserable Cheng dù. Fortunately, today, the Knicks are not strong inside, and Yao Ming himself is in excellent condition, so he didn't spend too much body in the first three quarters, otherwise he would have a tragedy with the Rockets in the fourth quarter.

The Rockets changed their entire main lineup, but D'Antoni only replaced Chandler with David Lee and moved Kenyon Martin back to the power forward position.

Kenyon Martin is only 206cm tall, and his arm span is about the same as David Lee's.

David Li can't go around the front, at least he can rely on the strength of the lower game to top Yao Ming's back single.

Yao Ming felt that his body was quite enough today, and after he came on the court, he worked hard to fight with David Lee in the low position, and his back was in the position.

David Lee suddenly withdrew the stool, this kind of trick is not very good in the NBA, but Yao Ming was defenseless, his clumsy body couldn't react at this time, and he suddenly lost his balance, and the basketball also lost control.

Yao Ming's ability to protect the ball is also his flaw, I don't know if it's because of his small hands, sometimes he can't catch the ball and make mistakes!

Zhang Yu was the first to rush over with his extraordinary speed, and copied the basketball that Yao Ming was about to be unable to control into his hands. He has a lot of hands, grabbed the basketball and saw that Battier was delayed by his side, did not launch a fast attack, stabilized the ball, and first made sure that he would not make mistakes.

Now that the score of the two teams is only one point apart, it is not the time to seek speed, and it is the biggest blow to the Rockets to score this goal steadily!

Battier kept his distance from Zhang Yu, he didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being directly accelerated by Zhang Yu, which had already been learned by Atai, who had already left the game. But regardless of him, Zhang Yu can prepare for the next attack after crossing the middle line, so he can't be too comfortable with the dribble, and there must be appropriate interference.

The two teams fell into a positional battle, Kenyon Martin came out to cover, Zhang Yu entered the three-point line by covering, David Lee had already lured Yao Ming away from the basket, and he and Kenyon Martin cut under the basket together.

Battier was only one step behind, but it also meant he couldn't interfere too much with Zhang, and Scola had to make up for Zhang's dribble first, and Kenyon Martin was missed.

How could Zhang Yu let go of such an opportunity and threw the ball towards the basket, although he was over thirty years old, Kenyon Martin, who still had a certain amount of jumping ability, rose into the air and caught the basketball with a powerful two-handed dunk!

The Knicks relied on this slam dunk to overtake the score, and from leading by ten points to being overtaken, the Rockets only took half a quarter.

The score was overtaken, the morale of the whole Rockets team was low, and the players felt that this rhythm was very familiar, so should they be overturned again?

Adelman had to call a timeout to find a way to restore the morale of the players first, and "morale" is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is crucial and affects all aspects of the court.

When he returned to the court, he didn't know how Adelman would motivate the player, Brooks was excited, raised his hand to make a three-point shot, and Shun Lì re-overtook the score, and the "Toyota Center" immediately resounded with cheers!

The camera shows Adelman, the coach's face is full of waves, and he can't see what mood he is in at all, giving people a sense of composure and calmness. But in fact, Adelman is now scolding Little Black Bean in his heart: "How can this ball be played like this? My tactics are obviously handed over to Yao Ming, which is to enter, and if I don't enter this game, won't I be explained again! ”

"Damn it! I have to find a way to get a reliable point guard, that's not how my 'Princeton' plays? Adelman is not satisfied with Alston and Brooks, the two Rockets point guards, and has been thinking about changing to a reliable No. 1 position.

Barkley and Kenny Smith were in the live broadcast room, and the big butt laughed: "The Rockets have a two-point lead, and they still maintain a small lead." ”

Kenny Smith chimed in: "Anyone can win now, every time you have the ball, and the side that makes a lot of mistakes will bury the game."

Before the two spoke, this time the basketball in Battier's hand was slapped off by Zhang Yu, and then he grabbed the basketball first with his explosive power. The "president" should also know that Zhang Yu not only has excellent offensive ability, but his defense is also outstanding in the league, and he can defend against players from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position.

"Toot ......"

The referee blew the whistle and punished Zhang Yu for a foul!

Zhang Yu was not happy, how could the ball just now be a hitter? He took the basketball and handed it to the referee himself, and argued his steal with the referee.

The referee will not give a foul as soon as he comes up for the polite player, "zero patience" is more about looking at people, if Zhang Yu is replaced by a roaring Tianzun, the referee will call you polite or impolite, first a technical foul and then talk about others.

As Zhang Yu plays better and better on the court, his personal number has also steadily improved, and now he has begun to make a name for himself, and he is like a star in the league. Subsequently, he also began to enjoy the treatment of the star whistle, but today is away, and he does not have the same face as Kobe Bryant and James. The goal was a clean break and the referee clearly blew away the crucial tackle to make the game more exciting.

He also knows what the referee means, this kind of thing can't be avoided, the league likes to play this set, increase the spectacle of the game, he puts pressure on the referee, because he doesn't want this situation to happen repeatedly, then he can't play.

The next game fell into a stalemate, the two teams went back and forth, the score alternated and went up, and into the last three minutes, the score became 81:82, and the Knicks trailed the Rockets by one point.

Yao Ming undoubtedly played the best form of his career today, and now his score has become 37 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists.

On live TV, Yao Ming's career-high score was 41 points, which was set in 2006, and today the little giant may break his record and set a new career high.

The Rockets players also know that Yao Ming feels good today, and of course they must do their best to help Yao Ming complete his self-breakthrough at this time.

Yao Ming no longer felt tired at this time, and the fatigue had long been replaced by excitement.

Zhang Yu created the first 50+ for a Chinese player, and he knew that he might not be able to accomplish such a feat, but at the peak of his career, he was also very excited to be able to increase his single-game maximum score a little. Today, the Knicks were restrained by him inside, which happened to be a good opportunity for him to set a new scoring record, and if he missed this time, I am afraid there will be no chance in the future.

Yao Ming made another strong back-to-back hit after the inside position, and then made a turnaround jumper to increase his score to 39 points, and the 40+ goal was about to be reached......
