The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Rockets traded Jordan Hill for Yao Ming.

Jordan Hill is a blue-collar center, but he has an open mid-range shot.

Therefore, after Yao Ming left the court, the Rockets changed another style of play, focusing on forward and outside offense.

Kevin Martin is known as the first generation of "porcelain kings" and plays very smartly.

It was Zhou Yang who defended him, and he was touched twice in a row, causing Zhou Yang to foul twice.

Old Nelson was helpless, so he could only replace Zhou Yang first.

However, the overall strength of the Warriors is still above the Rockets, and Curry still has a slight advantage with the team.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 33:31, and the Warriors still led by 2 points.

Kevin Martin played well, scoring 14 points in the first quarter and was the Rockets' top scorer.

Curry scored 17 points in the first quarter, shooting 5-of-7 from three-point range.

Zhou Yang didn't shoot much in the first quarter, and he got into foul trouble, scoring only 6 points.

In the second quarter of the game, the two sides faced off as substitutes, Zhou Yang appeared, and the Warriors opened up the difference.

Yao Ming came back on the court in the second half of the second quarter, played for a few minutes, scored 4 points, grabbed 3 rebounds and grabbed 1 block.

Many Rockets fans pulled up banners on the sidelines to express their support for Yao Ming.

Everyone guessed that Yao Ming may be in the last season of the Rockets and the last season of his career.

So, on the card held up by the fans, it reads "Thank you YAO MING"!

Zhou Yang and the Warriors players also have a tacit understanding, although they suppress each other in terms of strength, they do not play hard.

In the second half, the Warriors stretched the margin to about 15 points, and then switched to a pure bench.

Yao Ming only played two minutes in the second half and went off again because his knee felt uncomfortable again.

Zhou Yang sat on the chair and sighed secretly.

If Yao Ming doesn't gain weight, his career should be longer.

In addition, participating in those less important international competitions also caused a lot of physical wear and tear.

In the end, the game was over and the Warriors defeated the Rockets on the road.

Yao Ming played 16 minutes today, scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, and still played an efficient performance in a limited time.

Zhou Yang played 24 minutes today and scored 21 points, and Curry played 33 minutes and scored 28 points.

After the full game, Zhou Yang and Yao Ming hugged each other tightly, and the long guns and short cannons of countless reporters were aimed at them.

The inheritance of the Chinese men's basketball team in this book is the embrace of the core of two generations.

In the days to come, Zhou Yang will take over the torch in Yao Ming's hands and lead the Chinese men's basketball team to continue to chase higher honors!

The Warriors have eight games left in their regular season schedule.

Currently, the Warriors are 62-12, ranking first in the West and first in the league.

Second in the league is the Bulls at 56-18 and third in the league is the Spurs at 55-19.

Nelson Sr. didn't deliberately pursue his regular-season goals, so he intends to take a proper rest for the next eight games.

However, two of those eight games are against potential first-round opponents in the playoffs.

They are the Grizzlies and the Orleans Hornets.

Other games can be paddled, but these two games, must be won, because these two teams are currently seventh and eighth in the West with the same number of points.

At noon on April 2, the Warriors flew to Memphis.

Zhou Yang had just dragged his suitcase into the room when he heard his mobile phone ringing.

When I picked it up, it was an unfamiliar number in China.

"Hello? Who is it? ”

"Hee-hee, Yang-yang, this is my new number."

"Have you terminated your contract with Girls' Generation?" Zhou Yang didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Yes, I paid the liquidated damages and was finally relieved, haha!" Lee Yoon-a was like a bird that had escaped from a cage, and her voice was full of cheerful tones.

Zhou Yang was also happy for her, and then asked, "How are you in Huaxia?" Does anyone take care of you? ”

"Sister Yang Mi is taking care of me, she is very good, and she also helped me sign a brokerage company, by the way, I will release a record at the end of the month, the two songs you wrote for me, the music director said that they are very good, and predicted that I will definitely be popular!"

Zhou Yang thought to himself, it's strange if it's not popular, it's two songs that will be popular in the future.

After reporting the good news, Li Yun'er's voice was low again, and she asked with a crying voice, "When will I see you?" ”

Zhou Yang smiled: "It's okay, you do a good job first, we have a lot of time to meet." ”

"Okay......"

The two chatted for a long time before hanging up.

Putting down the phone, Zhou Yang remembered Yang Mi again, this woman is unusual, and being able to help with this shows that she has a great pattern.

The heart is also very big.

Before Zhou Yang crossed, Yang Mi was already the boss, which shows that she is not just a vase.

……

The next day, eight p.m., Memphis Pyramids Arena.

The Warriors take on the Grizzlies on the road.

This is the fourth time the two teams have faced each other this season.

Previously, the Warriors were 2-1 and lost to the Grizzlies on the road.

In that game, Chandler was injured in the first quarter, so the Warriors were completely incapable of doing it inside, being suppressed by the Grizzlies' Randolph and Gasol.

Zhou Yang and Curry also had an average hand that day, so they lost by 3 points in the end.

So today is not only to fight for potential opponents in the playoffs, but also to avenge the last away defeat!

If this game is lost, then the Grizzlies' psychological advantage at home will be particularly large, and the Warriors will have a shadow.

The starting lineup of the Grizzlies is Randolph, Gasol Jr., Conley, Rudy Gay, Mayo.

The Warriors' starting five are Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Randolph and Barbossa.

Today there is a truce in Turkoglu.

Chandler and Randolph jump ball in the middle circle.

Although Randolph is much better than Chandler in his own attacking ability, in terms of physical fitness, Chandler is a little stronger.

The Warriors got the first wave of offensive possession.

Curry dribbled past half court, and it was Conley who defended him.

Chandler mentioned the high post and blocked Conley, Curry quickly moved sideways, saw that Randolph was not delayed, and immediately made a three-point shot!

In the last game against the Grizzlies, Curry didn't feel good, making 2 of 8 three-pointers, and Zhou Yang was similar, 3-of-7 from three-point range, so the Warriors eventually lost the game.

But today, Curry is very murderous, and as soon as he comes up, he will shoot three-pointers, hew!

One arrow through the heart!

Hit!

The noise at the Grizzlies' home stadium came to an abrupt end.

Curry's three-pointer became an away silencer.

Randolph was a little annoyed, he had been delaying too slowly, obviously belittling Curry's three-pointer.

However, Grizzlies head coach Hollins is an old-school coach, and he has always felt that the Warriors can't go far with three-point shooting.

But he's not a rigid coach either, and this season, the Grizzlies have increased their outside shooting resources, with Conley and Rudy Gay, and even Gasol Jr. shooting from three-point range up a lot.
