Tom signaled that James Posey immediately forced the defense when Nowitzki got the ball, and the latter did the truth. As soon as Nowitzki got the ball this time, he bit it like a wild wolf.

Nowitzki was not panicked at all and gave the ball to Michael Finley, who was facing James Posey. Finley took the ball in an open position and made all the shooting hand shapes. Seeing this, Yao Ming quickly shouted: "Softie, are you going to shoot?"

With just this sentence, Michael Finley instinctively took back the ball that was about to be shot.

I'm not a soft guy!

But he earned this tone, but James Posey also made up for defense.

Francis knew that this guy was afraid of dribbling, so he rushed towards him as soon as possible.

"Bang!"

After continuous pressing, Francis once again successfully took the ball away from his hand.

The Rockets completed the counterattack.

This scene made the old Nelson on the side of the court curse: "fxxk, what are you doing, why don't you vote!"

Michael Finley looked embarrassed. When he heard what Yao Ming shouted at him, his reason was suppressed by hostility towards Yao Ming. When his smart head now occupied the high ground again, he also realized that he had wasted a good opportunity.

Damn guy!

He threw angry eyes at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming gave him a thumbs up: Awesome, awesome, you dare not vote for this!

This made Michael Finley very angry again.

The "Fan Madman" off the field looked at Michael Finley's angry look and showed a speechless look. You obviously can't play with others, so why do you always take the initiative to provoke? Wouldn't you make yourself feel uncomfortable?

However, Michael Finley was stupid just this time. After two rounds, he got another open shot and seized the opportunity well and helped the Mavericks score a 3-pointer.

But before he could show off to Yao Ming, boos came from the audience on the sidelines, and a few sarcasm:

"A soft ball who can only shoot!"

"Yao is right, you're just a softie!"

"Continue to shoot like this, this is how you play, softies!"

This makes Michael Finley so angry!

Old Nelson saw him like this and quickly patted his shoulder as he passed by: "Boy, you're doing a good job, don't be influenced by them, just do it!"

He was really afraid that this guy would put the empty space again later.

The Rockets played again, but the new Lafrenz is a guy with a very good basketball IQ. After Yao Ming covered Francis' breakthrough, even though Steve Nash had lost his position, he did not make up for it, but continued to look at Yao Ming firmly.

He could see at a glance that the Rockets were playing the "bullock horn" tactic.

He has to look at the position of "Spiritual Waist".

His defensive judgment made Barkley nod slightly: "I like this player Reeve very much!"

In his eyes, as long as Yao Ming is not allowed to score, it is a good defense.

Francis' breakthrough was not very smooth. Nowitzki completed the backup defense for Steve Nash. He was delayed near the free throw line. He turned around to find another "swarm waist" Kato, who had already run towards Kato, who was running in the inside line, so he had to give up and continue to block Francis and turn to defend Kato. Fortunately, Steve Nash behind him had already followed, and Nowitzki was not afraid that Francis could make a layup directly.

However, as soon as he left, Francis actually passed the ball directly!

Mobri completed his spiritual running with the cover of Kato who had just cut the basket, got rid of Adrien Griffin, who was the second position of the Mavericks, and successfully arrived at the basket. Francis also caught his sight from the corner of the eye and passed the ball directly.

The connection between the Rockets boss and the second, Mobley finally scored the ball on the back.

The Rockets completed an excellent tactical cooperation.

This scene made Kenny Smith unable to help but say: "A wonderful cooperation, the Mavericks' defense is good enough, but the Rockets currently have too many scoring points in this lineup. Even with the Mavericks' rotation, they cannot strangle all the scoring points in this lineup!"

nice!

nice!

Tom, who had been frowning because of the defensive tactics of "demolting the east wall and repairing the west wall", immediately relaxed his eyebrows when he saw the Rockets' smooth offensive cooperation in this round.

On the basketball court, it’s okay to be unable to defend against it, as long as you have stronger firepower than your opponent!

The Rockets just showed this possibility!

The question now is: was the cooperation just now made by chance, or was it possible that they could indeed make such cooperation.

Two rounds later, Tom had the answer.

The Rockets can really play such a cooperation!

Yao Ming still pulled the pick-and-roll to the high position, but this time he didn't block or dismantle it. He mentioned the high position just to trick Lafrenz into the high position. As soon as he followed, Yao Ming had already completed the power and immediately exerted force, and rushed towards the inside. At this time, Francis quickly gave a high lob to the basket.

Frankly speaking, Francis's ball was not good.

But no matter how difficult this kind of high-angle ball is, it is easier for Yao Ming than bent down to pick up the ball and pass it.

Unfortunately, few of the defenders who were partnering with Yao Ming in the previous generation understood this principle.

With his hands open, Yao Ming took Francis' pass into his arms. Nowitzki actively made up again. Before his sports function deteriorated, Nowitzki's ability to make up for defense was really good.

Yao Ming was stopped, but he was not panicked. He turned his hand to the left of his body, and the ball was passed by him to the free throw line. Mobri once again rushed out of nowhere, grabbed the ball, and made a steadily layup.

This "old cat" is really a cat!

This can get in.

Looking at Mobri's agile figure, Yao Ming silently complained in his heart.

He saw that the Mavericks used the "closing" tactics to both the second and third positions, and he rushed in from the middle.

amazing!

Kenny Smith: "It's Chinese newcomer again, Steve and Cartino's cooperation, and the connection between the three of them completely tear the Mavericks' defense apart!"

This ball is more obvious than the ball just now...

"We... have three cores too!"

Tom Thibodeau watched the Rockets make another smooth attack, and his eyes sighed. This is the offensive scene that the Rockets have been looking forward to for two years. After Yao Ming adapted to the pace of the NBA, this scene finally became a reality!

The Rockets' "three cores" are putting their strength, and the Warriors are really unable to defend themselves for a while.

Old Nelson changed the array several times during this period, but the effect was not very ideal.

After all, the Mavericks are still a team that defeats their opponents by offense. The players in the team either cannot protect themselves on the defensive end or barely protect themselves. Even if they are stronger, they can make up for defense for their teammates. They can truly become the core of the defensive end and build a defensive system. The Mavericks really don’t have any players...

The "big bamboo pole" in the past may be fine, but now this guy has obviously fallen from his peak, and his movement speed is not as good as before, and only the height is left.

The Mavericks' defense is now good, but it is definitely not strong.

Therefore, when facing the Rockets' "three cores" efforts, especially when the "three cores" efforts were even surprised by Rockets head coach Tom, the Warriors could not stop it.

In addition, this is the Rockets' home court. Firepower suppression and cheers at the scene, the Warriors were once again suppressed by the Rockets on the court. At the end of the first half, the Rockets led by 5 points 53-48.

After entering the home player channel, Francis, who had been tense, laughed directly and said excitedly to Yao Ming: "Yao, have you seen Michael Finley's stinky face? Hahaha, I'm so laughing to death. In the second half, continue to maintain the momentum of the first half. We want him to leave the Toyota Center with his head down!"

Mobri was a little "dissatisfied" with Yao Ming: "Man, have we discussed it? You can take more actions and strive for better data than Michael Finley. Why do you always upload the ball to me!"

Mobley scored a total of 12 points in the first half, 9 points higher than Francis, and the highest score in the team.

8 of his 12 points were scored in the second quarter, and 6 of them came from Yao Ming's assists.

Yao Ming explained: "It's normal for Catino, you're in a better position."

Moreover, Mobley didn't look at the data table. Yao Ming's data is now better than Michael Finley. Michael Finley scored 9 points in the first half and had 2 rebounds, with 3 turnovers, with only 33.3% of the shooting percentage. Yao Ming's data in the first half was 8 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds, and 1 block, 4 of 7 shots, with a shooting percentage of up to 57%. No mistakes are seen. This data is better than Michael Finley!

"Anyway, you can play by yourself if you have the chance in the second half!" But his explanation did not satisfy Mobri. In his opinion, the protagonist of this game tonight was Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's performance must be outstanding!

What does it mean to show off?

But at this level, it is definitely not enough!

Yao Ming didn't say much when he looked at his firm expression.

However, after the second half of the game began, Yao Ming continued to play in the second quarter. After getting the ball, he took the ball by himself. If he had the chance to take action, he would take action by himself. If he didn't have the chance to take action by himself, he would hand over the ball by himself.

That's it, Yao Ming happily scored 2 assists in the third quarter.

With the 4 assists in the first half, Yao Ming's assists have reached 6.

In addition, he still has 3 points and 2 rebounds in this quarter.

In other words, when Yao Ming finished the third quarter, he had scored 11 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

With this data, what other bicycle do you want!

But Mobri looked at him, shook his head helplessly, and said to himself: This child is still too young!

Fortunately, Michael Finley's performance in the third quarter was not good, and he was replaced for 6 minutes.

Amid the continuous "soft eggs" sounds and Yao Ming's provocations, he gradually became hesitant about the opportunity to shoot. The famous swordsman "Ashina Ichixin" said: Hesitation will lead to a loss! Michael Finley's final data in the third quarter was 0 of 3 shots. His shooting percentage in this game fell to 25% after this quarter! It was about 17% lower than his average shooting percentage this season.

"Man, cheer up, your performance is not just that. You care too much about what that rookie said. You should play the ball the way you normally do!"

Donnielsen pulled him aside.

This guy is one of the "three cores" of the Mavericks. If the Mavericks want to turn the situation around in the last quarter, he must cheer up!

Old Nelson really doesn't understand why an old bird was affected by a rookie?
