Liu Mang complained to the referee, but the referee rolled his eyes at Liu Mang and ignored him completely.

First of all, the referee did not see Yao Ming's little move. Just now it seemed that Liu Mang rushed over and bumped into Yao Ming who was trying to stop him. When Yao Ming blocked Liu Mang, he was about to come into contact with Yao Ming before Liu Mang wanted to change direction and accelerate.

When they were together, Yao Ming suddenly pushed his crotch. That small movement was so subtle that even if the referee saw it, it would be reasonable to say that it was an action during running.

The key is that the referee really didn't see it.

Moreover, Yao Ming is also one of the few stars in the Western Conference. Although in terms of strength, there is still a big gap between him and the former No. 1 center in the Western Conference, but in terms of the increasingly weak center position, Yao Ming is now the second center in the league. If it were replaced by other

People, Liu Mang complained that the referee might find an opportunity to make up for the whistle next time.

But if it were Yao Ming, the referee would not give Liu Mang face to make up the whistle at will. Yao Ming is also a player praised by the league. He averages 7.5 free throws per game in 32 minutes of playing time. This season, he averages 5 or more free throws per game.

There are only five players registered as centers: O'Neal, Yao Ming, Howard, Ben Wallace, and Eddie Curry.

Among them, O'Neal, Howard, and Ben Wallace are all the kind of players who will be targeted for tactical fouls. O'Neal averages 10 free throws per game, and Howard and Ben Wallace both average just 5 per game.

Yao Ming and Eddie Curry truly rely on their ability to shoot free throws, because both of them have high free throw shooting percentages. Yao Ming's free throw shooting percentage is 85%, and Eddie Curry's 70%.

Eight, basically he will not be the target of tactical fouls, and Eddie Curry only averaged 5.3 free throws per game.

Yao Ming's free throw shooting percentage and number of free throws are historically very good at the center position. Olajuwon's career-high average of free throws per game was just 8.

Seeing Yao Ming's confused expression when he was pointed at, Liu Mang didn't expect that this guy actually learned to act! He acted really well!

During Liu Mang's four-day break, he watched many videos of the Rockets' games this season. The reason why he felt that Yao Ming was beginning to show signs of becoming an iron-blooded player was not because Yao Ming clenched his fists and roared more often after dunking, but because Yao Ming's small movements changed.

Much more!

Yao Ming has a face that looks honest and honest. The referee rarely notices his little moves. Even if he notices them, it is because those little moves are not hurtful and Yao Ming looks honest and honest.

The less whistle is similar to Garnett's face that looks like "I just make a lot of little moves".

Liu Mang didn't expect it. Yao Ming didn't know when Yao Ming became more and more "bad" as he learned more. If it were a national team game, Liu Mang would be happy, but now as an opponent...

When Liu Mang saw that the referee ignored him, he could only run to the frontcourt and fell into a positional battle.

After Liu Mang passed the midline, McGrady passed the ball to Liu Mang first. Liu Mang dribbled the ball to the top arc, and David Wesley defended him.

Liu Mang looked at the small steps of David Wesley, who looked like Mickey Mouse. He had very good defensive mobility, short height and fast speed. Liu Mang pretended to make a strong move, and David Wesley immediately came up and gave him a body blow.

During the contact, when Liu Mang was about to change direction, David Wesley immediately took half a step away and could keep up with Liu Mang's footsteps without being too far away.

Really good defense!

Liu Mang felt that the Rockets were doing a lot of bargain-hunting, but this 34-year-old veteran was a bargain. The veteran who was given up by the Hornets came to the Rockets, which is a perfect fit for him, and he is much better than Sura.

Worried about the intimidation of Yao Ming under the basket, Liu Mang did not have good shooting opportunities in the mid-range and long-range. He did not want to make strong shots from mid-range and long-range in the beginning and was pushed to the basket. There was Yao Ming under the basket. Liu Mang waved to Tracy McGrady and handed him over.

He handed the ball to McGrady, and then rushed inside with David Wesley from the center with his bare hands, trying to disrupt the Rockets' defense.

Kwame Brown came out to help Liu Mang block David Wesley. Liu Mang cut in from the middle, but Yao Ming stepped on the semi-circle of the reasonable collision zone, and the defensive area almost reached the free throw line. He was 2.26 meters tall.

The terrifying height was too great a defensive threat under the basket. Liu Mang took advantage of Kwame Brown's off-ball pick-and-roll to accelerate suddenly, ran back from the left side of the three-second zone, and came to a 45-degree angle on the left, McGrady's pass

It happened to be passed to Liu Mang.

Cooperate with the middle lane learned from Stockton!

But Richard Jefferson had already blocked Liu Mang when he received the ball at a 45-degree angle to the left, and David Wesley, who was blocked by Kwame Brown, did not go around the pick-and-roll to chase Liu Mang.

, but immediately switched defenses with Richard Jefferson to defend Tracy McGrady!

The Rockets have David Wesley playing point guard, and their defensive rotations have become much better!

Time was running out, and there was no chance for Liu Mang to create a mobile phone opportunity. Liu Mang immediately threw the ball to McGrady, who had the advantage of height to attack.

McGrady caught the ball and shot a three-pointer...

Without a goal, Yao Ming turned around and used his generous back to block Kwame Brown who was about to rush in to grab an offensive rebound. He blocked Rasheed Wallace who was rushing in with one arm. Juwan Howard ran in and easily collected the defensive rebound.

Liu Mang quickly called on his teammates to return to defense. The Rockets' defense surprised Liu Mang! It is indeed a top defensive team that only allows its opponents to score 91 points per game!

Van Gundy Jr. and Thibodeau are speed killers. The coaching staff of this team means there are fewer players who can score. Otherwise, with the defensive system of Van Gundy Jr. and Thibodeau, if the Rockets have guards who can pass the ball better,

Not allowed to take off!

Liu Mang suddenly felt some sympathy for Van Gundy, who held Mourning's thighs back then. He only allowed his opponents to score 91 points per game, while his own team could only score 93 points, which was worse than the Spurs' offense...

Sure enough, the Rockets' current offensive method has stabilized, which is to start with Yao Ming's isolation. David Wesley is much more self-aware than Sura and waits for Yao Ming to take over after halftime.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yao Ming's buttocks popped up and his waist sank under Kwame Brown's rough push. At 135 kilograms, he was one kilogram heavier than the fat man Eddie Curry.

His weight is second only to O'Neal in the league, and he has Kwame Brown firmly behind him.

David Wesley lobbed the ball to Yao Ming, and Kwame Brown tried to use the same strategy of consuming O'Neal that he used to defend O'Neal to consume Yao Ming. At the moment when Yao Ming leaned forward and prepared to push back, Kwame Brown

Press forward and try to steal with your wingspan.

However, Yao Ming has spent as much time studying the Hawks as the Hawks players have spent studying him! He has long known how Mourning and Kwame Brown, the two insiders, deal with O'Neal, who is also a giant center. Kwame Brown came forward

At that moment, Yao Ming turned around in a spiral, with his right foot as the axis, picked up the ball with his left hand, turned half to the right, stepped out with his left foot, tilted his body towards the basket, and threw the ball directly towards the basket.

Kwame Brown also wanted to ask the opponent to make a cutting action and then step back to the basket to face Yao Ming to defend the frame. Who knew that Yao Ming would get a gap at that position and directly throw up with one hand!

Yao Ming's touch was so good that the ball rolled around the basket and fell into the frame.

With wonderful low-post play, such height, such weight, and such footwork and touch, Kenny Smith of T.N.T Sports, who broadcast the game live, shouted "Best Center" amidst Fat Barkley's unhappy expression.

Liu Mang watched Yao Ming playing with Kwame Brown, and then looked at Rasheed Wallace who was pulled away by Uncle Huo. Should he let Rasheed Wallace double-team, or should he let Kwame-

Will Brown continue to be abused?

Yao Ming plays Kwame Brown. A center like Howard is too good to play. It would be a waste of physical fitness for Kwame Brown to gain weight before he is 23 years old and reach the size of the Lakers in the original time and space.

Kwame Brown has developed a very good style of play that utilizes physical fitness.

Liu Mang received the serve, and the Rockets had already retreated. After Yao Ming scored, he worked hard to defend. The Rockets' overall retreat speed was pretty good. A team that can suppress the Suns' speed is really hard to beat.

Let’s start with the offensive end first, and then break down the Rockets’ defense.

After Liu Mang advanced past half court, he passed the ball to McGrady, and then directly helped McGrady block Richard Jefferson from the top arc.

McGrady used Liu Mang to block Richard Jefferson from cutting inside. McGrady's first three steps were so fast that David Wesley couldn't keep up and could only try his best to follow McGrady.

At the same time, Liu Mang blocked Richard Jefferson, then bypassed Richard Jefferson and cut to the basket from the left side of the top arc.

After Tracy McGrady rushed into the free throw line, he took three big steps and crossed from the right side of the three-second zone to the left side of the three-second zone, trying to bypass Yao Ming for a throw. Richard Jefferson immediately let go of Liu Mang.

Going to chase McGrady, David Wesley also switched defense and came back to block Liu Mang in a tacit understanding.

At this time, Kwame Brown came up to block David Wesley. Liu Mang stopped suddenly and ran towards the top arc. After McGrady took off in three strides, he had no chance and threw the ball towards the top arc in the air.

.

Liu Mang received the ball, and the Rockets quickly covered up. Sura rushed over to cover up Liu Mang. Liu Mang received the ball and immediately threw it to Prince. Prince moved to the right side and received the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle.

The ball was adjusted and a three-point shot was taken from an open position!

After a lot of coordination, Prince finally took advantage of the shooting opportunity and hit a three-pointer.

The Rockets' current defense is much better than Liu Mang's impression of David Wesley, Sura, Tracy McGrady, Huo Ershu, and Yao Ming. The main reason is that Richard Jefferson does not need to attack like McGrady.

He is so tired from playing at the end, and his scoring methods are air cuts and three-pointers. He is mainly responsible for defense, and he can also average 23 points and 7 rebounds per game. The Rockets' defense is much better than McGrady, who originally had a look to defend in time and space!

The outside trio rotates defensively at a high speed, with Yao Ming under the basket. Although Huo Ershu is not very strong, his hard work in playing is commendable. What he is criticized for is that he is not worth the big contract he has received all year round. His attitude

Very positive.

The Hawks can see it. The Rockets have played for half a season and have reached their mid-season "peak" performance that occurs almost every season. They don't have to deliberately suppress the rhythm. They can play normally.

The pace on the court was very slow.

Liu Mang thought about the fact that the Rockets would go crazy in the month before and after the All-Star Weekend every year. Their 22-game winning streak was achieved during the period from the end of January to mid-March when other teams were complaining about it. This team also has no one.

Already.

When the Rockets attack again, Yao Ming continues to get the ball in the low post, blocking Kwame Brown for the ball.

The method of defending O'Neal was not easy to use. Kwame Brown had a good awareness of single defense, so he immediately started trying to use other defensive methods to defend Yao Ming.

Kwame Brown tried to directly use his explosive power to impact Yao Ming. Yao Ming bumped back and felt Kwame Brown's impact. He discovered Kwame Brown's intention, so he slapped the ball on the ground hard.

He made a back-bumping motion, and before Kwame Brown came forward, he turned around suddenly, picked up the ball that bounced hard with his right hand, passed Kwame Brown, took a step forward, and hung his hands in gorilla style.

Box dunk!

That bounce was five centimeters off the ground. When Yao Ming dunked the ball into the basket, he dropped his hands on the basket and put his feet in the air, making a gesture of jumping 20 centimeters.

After Yao Ming landed, he clenched his fists and ran back with a low roar. There was no Boozer anymore. Yao Ming was so pissy when he beat the Hawks!

Kwame Brown is going to cry!

Liu Mang looked at Yao Ming, who roared and ran back with all his strength, and looked at Kwame Brown. Unexpectedly, before Howard became so powerful, Yao Ming, who was eating, sleeping and playing World of Warcraft, would use the skills of playing World of Warcraft on Kwame Brown.

.

It's really a hammer! Liu Mang remembers that Yao Ming averaged nearly 24.12 per game against Howard, and defended Howard's average of 12.9 per game, which was far lower than his career average. Howard's peak season in 2008-09 was defeated by Yao Ming without Tracy McGrady.

Indiscriminately bullying, the Magic in the 2008-09 season were similar to the Suns this season. They relied on their three-point team to defeat 28 teams in the league at least once, but were only swept by the Rockets in the regular season.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now playing Kwame Brown, who has a similar style, Yao Ming also plays Kwame Brown!

It’s really annoying, a team with such conflicting styles...
