"McDy's goal was very clean," Yu Jia increased his voice, "the difference between the two sides reached 4 points again."

"The Timberwolves' outside defense is really not visible," said Zhang Weiping. "McDie passed in one step. After that, the basket's assisting ability is still a little bit. Li Rong and Jefferson are both short inside!"

"Li Rong brought the ball to the outside of the three-point line and signaled that all his teammates would be pulled apart, and he still had to play singles," Yu Jia's words were filled with excitement, "It depends on how the effect is."

Bathil lowered his center of gravity, stretched out a big hand and shook it back and forth in front of Li Rong's eyes, constantly adjusting the angle of his palm, trying to block his offensive vision.

Li Rong glanced left and right and confirmed that this side had been completely cleared, turned his back and felt the opponent's defensive center of gravity behind him.

The stalemate did not last long. Li Rong suddenly started. He dribbled the ball with his left hand, his legs and waist and abdomen suddenly force, and his back hit the opponent's chest.

Although I have long studied Li Rong's high-level back-attack, when Li Rong really started back-attacking, Bathir still felt that he was a little inadequate.

This power was too powerful and too evil. He could not resist the opponent's attack at all and took two steps back.

Li Rong seized this fleeting shooting opportunity and turned over and shot directly.

Bathir's big hand still stretched out, but he had only had time to block his shooting sight.

The basketball flew very slowly in the air, and all the spectators in the center of the target held their breath in this moment.

"Swish!" Basketball entered the net without any suspense.

Li Rong raised his arm and clenched his fist tightly. The "height advantage" of level 3, and the misaligned hit rate of 6% increased. Even though his back-playing skills were not so pure, the hit rate was terrifying enough when facing most No. 3 players.

The Rockets' mistake was to send Batil to defend him. If it were Scola, although he was still at a disadvantage in height, he was an inside player after all, and he would definitely be much stronger than Batil in terms of strength, and would not allow Li Rong to create such a large space for attack.

"Good ball!" Yu Jia shouted loudly, "Li Rong beat Bathir back and scored two points, and once again approached the gap between the two sides."

"Li Rong's power is really good!" Director Zhang couldn't help but praise, "Shengsheng pushed Battier's defense away, and the shooting was also very stable. He is playing power forward in the Timberwolves now. The Rockets sent Battier to defend him, which is equivalent to being misplaced."

"But Li Rong was a standard small forward position in this draft. Later, there was no one in the Timberwolves inside, so he beat the power forward. He was considered a swingman in the third and fourth positions." Yu Jia said.

"He is still suitable for playing small forwards, why?" Zhang Weiping analyzed, "because he has the advantage of height and strength when facing many No. 3 players. Although he doesn't run fast and doesn't jump high, he can't defend himself from playing back alone."

"That's right, let's look at McGrady's attack again," Yu Jia said, "It's also a back-to-back single, facing Brewer's defense, I pulled up and shot directly. It's beautiful! McGrady's turnover jump shot is very freehand!"

"Hey!" Zhang Weiping smiled, "The two of them are in a fight. You one, I one, the competition ended up with the two of them!"

"Li Rong came to the same position last time again in this round, and the Rockets chose to double-team," Yu Jialiu said with some regret. "Li Rong immediately got the ball. Jefferson received the pass under the basket and shook Yao Ming's hook and hit it."

"The Timberwolves are really amazing!" Zhang Weiping said, "scoring continuously in the last moment."

"The Rockets' baseline ball, Alston dribbled the ball through the half, and it was still handed over to McGrady," said Yu Jia. "Yao Ming came up to pick and roll for McGrady, and McGrady took advantage of this cover opportunity to shoot directly, three-pointer!"

"Awesome!" Zhang Weiping said excitedly, "McDi scored 7 points in the end, right?"

"That's right, it's 7 points." Yu Jia echoed.

"Battier directly led the defense of Li Rong in the whole game, and McGrady also came up to double-team, preventing Li Rong from receiving the ball, and the ball was given to McCantz. McCantz transported the ball through halftime, and Battier was still defending Li Rong closely. The ball was passed to Jefferson in the inside. Jefferson chose to play singles, but unfortunately he didn't make it, and Yao Ming accepted the rebound!"

"The Timberwolves are hard to play," said Zhang Weiping. "There is less than two minutes left in the game. As long as the Rockets score the ball, they can be said to be basically sure to win. Moreover, the Rockets' defense against Li Rong has risen by another level in the past two rounds, so he will not be allowed to catch the ball. Other Timberwolves players did not seize this good opportunity."

The Rockets' offensive time was very severe. McGrady finally found an opportunity and handed the ball to Yao Ming, who was in the inside. Yao Ming turned around and hooked his hand, which caused Gomez to make a backup defense foul.

"You can't brag like this!" Li Rong complained to the referee dissatisfiedly, "When Ryan rushed up, the ball was already off."

"But the two have physical contact!" the referee explained impatiently.

"What kind of physical contact is this? Everyone is a pure man, not playing house!" Li Rong continued.

"Shut up, rookie!" The referee gave him a warning look, "I know how to judge!"

Damn! Li Rong sighed helplessly.

In fact, from when McGrady made the three-pointer, he knew that it would be difficult to get back in this game.

The Rockets' defensive strategy now does not allow him to catch the ball. Several people from the outside, Gomez, Brewer, and McCantz, have very average offensive ability to hold the ball, and it is difficult to break through the Rockets' outside defense.

With the final whistle sounding, the Timberwolves finally lost 92-1o8, and the gap with the Golden State Warriors, eighth in the West, also widened to 6.5 games.

The day after the game ended, Li Rong received an invitation from the League Office’s three-point competition.

The results of the All-Star vote were announced at the end of last month, and Li Rong was officially selected as the All-Star.

The All-Star venue for this year is New Orleans. It has been more than two years since Hurricane Katnina, but the local people still haven't emerged from the trauma of the disaster.

The choice of New Orleans as the All-Star venue is also the purpose of the league to promote New Orleans, help local reconstruction, and display the image of the league.

This time, his All-Star Weekend Schedule is very intensive. He not only has to participate in rookie games and main competitions, but also has to attend various caring community activities with many players, and there is little rest time.

So Li Rong thought for a long time and decided to reject the invitation from the alliance.

Moreover, although he shot 39% of his three-point shooting percentage this season, he might not be able to win the championship if he reached the three-point competition.
Chapter completed!
