The Fifth Point Guard

While encouraging his future teammates of the national team, Shen Tong shamelessly put on Guiling finger gloves.

After playing against the Wizards in the last game, the careful Shen Tong found that the (3/3) on the back of Guiling's finger cuff had changed to (2/3).

Shentong immediately understood that the numbers behind it represent the durability of the equipment.

In other words, this incomparably domineering and sharp item drawn from Tianwu Baolun can only be used for three games.

Think about it too, if anyone keeps wearing this fingertip with a spirit pill to shoot the basket, it will be difficult not to win.

At that time, Shentong decided that it would be better to keep such a heaven-defying prop for future use.

However, when he saw that the next game was the Chinese Derby and he was facing Yao Ming, Shen Tong immediately decided to continue using this prop in the next game.

The national and American live broadcasts are not important. Shentong has never thought about increasing influence, expanding popularity, signing a good contract next year, or increasing endorsement fees. It simply wants to win, that's all. .

After the Rockets' home court was changed to the Toyota Center, the atmosphere of the stadium was much better than before. In addition, there were nearly 20,000 spectators on the scene, and the entire arena was very lively.

Before coming to the NBA, Yao Ming's height has always been a mystery.

Everyone knows that he is tall, but how tall is it, is it 2.23 meters, 2.26 meters or 2.29 meters?

Opinions vary.

Even in China, there are different opinions about Yao Ming's height.

Later, after rigorous measurements by the Rockets, Yao Ming's real height was finally confirmed.

2.26 meters.

With such a tall height, he lost to Dikembe Mutombo who was 8cm shorter than him when scrambling for the ball.

No way, although he is short, he has long arms!

Yao Ming's wingspan is less than his own height, only 2.20 meters, but Mutombo's wingspan is 2.31 meters!

A full length of 11cm!

Immediately made up for the disadvantage of 8cm, this is not counting other lengths, otherwise the loss may be even worse

The Nets in the away game took the lead in winning the ball.

Before reaching the three-point line, Mobley has already defended Shentong closely. It seems that the "old cat" is determined to defend Shentong this time.

But the Nets have long expected.

Shentong scored 55 points in the last game. Any team will also strengthen their defense against Shentong in this game.

Therefore, Byron Scott's tactic is to start with Kidd, Martin, and Jefferson attacking the three to disrupt the Rockets' defensive plan.

With clear tactics and excellent executors, the Nets started the game first and respected it!

Facing Francis, it is not easy for Kidd to get rid of easily.

After getting Yao Ming this season, Francis, who saw the hope of the Rockets' revival, also became more active on the defensive end.

After two unsuccessful attempts to break through, Martin immediately pulled out from the inside to pick and roll for Kidd.

However, the Rockets' power forward Griffin is quite mobile, and instantly blocked Kidd's breakthrough route, slowing down the pace of the pick-and-roll attack.

Seeing that Yao Ming had already stood in the middle, he realized that there was no chance of giving Martin an alley-oop, so Kidd distributed the ball to the outside.

Jefferson receives a pass.

Good guy.

This is Jefferson's first offense since he started playing for a long time.

It was literally tears in my eyes.

Jefferson, who got the ball, did not intend to pass the ball. Facing the long-famous Glenn Rice, Jefferson was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and had no fear at all.

Relying on the speed of a tiger descending a mountain, Jefferson used Lingbo microsteps, broke into the inside line like a car, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands before the other Rockets players had time to make up the defense!

Glenn Rice watched eagerly as the teenager Jefferson broke through and scored a dunk, but he had more energy than he wanted.

To say that this Rice, in fact, was considered a titan a few years ago.

In 1996, Rice, who played for the Charlotte Hornets, averaged 26.8 points per game, ranking third on the season's scoring list.

Who are the first two?

Michael Jordan and Karl Malone.

In addition, he also leads the three-point shooter list with 47% of the three-pointers.

Yes, you read that right, 47%

He averaged 5.6 shots per game and hit 2.6 goals.

In the 1999-2000 season, Rice played for the Los Angeles Lakers. This season, the team ushered in the chief helm Phil Jackson and became the third point of the team outside the OK combination.

This year, Rice received his only championship ring.

In fact, when he first came to the Rockets, Rice was still in very good condition, but who would have thought that Rice encountered injuries last season, which led to reimbursement for the entire season.

In the new season, Rice can actually feel the changes in his body and the loss of explosive power, but he can't say that he must stand up.

Because this year is his contract year, he still wants to play for a few more years and make a few more years of money.

"The finish of this ball is wonderful!" The voice of Director Zhang Weiping immediately appeared on the live broadcast screen.

That's right, the live broadcast of this game was handed over to the old partners Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, to explain.

How can the Chinese Derby be without them.

After Jefferson made a dunk, Sun Zhengping immediately praised: "Jefferson's dunk is different from ordinary players. He is a player who can dunk with his hands."

Zhang Weiping: "That's right."

The Rockets attacked for the first time, and Francis dribbled the ball back and forth in front of Kidd, and then made a breakthrough with speed, like a sharp dagger, straight into the hinterland of the Nets.

Francis, who entered the penalty area, jumped in the air, only to see that it was not the old Montenegrin demon, but an African uncle who fell from the sky.

The defense overwhelmed the sky.

The ball was passed to Yao Ming who was following up. After catching the ball, Yao Ming raised his arms and was about to hit a two-handed dunk.

However, as soon as Yao Ming raised his hand holding the ball, he was slapped off by Martin who rushed over, ruining the attack.

Sun Zhengping: "Yao Ming got a wonderful pass and was about to dunk. The basket exploded. Oops, there was a mistake. Martin of the Rockets stole the ball from Yao Ming's hands."

Zhang Weiping: "."

Kidd and Jefferson connected.

With just one attack, Kidd, who was full of insight, observed Rice's problem.

The mobile defense has done little relative to Jefferson's drive.

After passing the ball to Jefferson, Kidd directly ordered: "Hit him!"

Jefferson has never had such a moment when the opening is the ace.

I was so excited that I forgot who I was.

Sa Yazi dribbled the ball straight to the heart of the Rockets.

Same breakthrough, same two-handed dunk

Only this time, his luck was not so good.

Yao Ming suddenly appeared under the basket, and held down Jefferson's ball in the air with one hand.

I don't know if I don't hit it, but I'm startled when I hit it.

When he faced Yao Ming at close range at the basket, Jefferson realized how tall Yao Ming was!

Just a little giant.

Jefferson, who was held down by Yao Ming, lost his balance in the air and fell to the ground. The Rockets also got the ball.

Francis and Mobley immediately launched a counterattack, like two lightning flashes across the court, and finally Francis made a layup.

After Yao Ming successfully blocked the shot, Sun Zhengping immediately shouted: "Good shot, Yao Ming gave Jefferson a big Yao's hot pot, let's go!"

After Francis scored a fast break, Zhang Weiping also explained: "This is what we call a transitional-offence, what it is, it is the ball that transitions from offense to defense. The Rockets played very reasonably from the defensive end to the offensive end in this round. It's a nice ball."
