Yao Ming didn't know that Kenny Smith and Barkley had made that classic bet again.

He is observing the two sides on the court.

The Rockets are currently on the court with his "good big brother" Steve Francis, later the "champion puzzle" of the Miami Heat, Jim Jackson, one of the "three jers" of the Mavericks, Morris Taylor, and center Kevin Cato, who will be replaced by him later.

From the perspective of lineup construction, the Rockets' lineup focuses on the outside, whether it is Steve Francis, Jim Jackson, and James Posey, all have strong personal firepower. The inside players Morris Taylor and Kevin Cato are typical blue-collar insiders, mainly responsible for grabbing boards, coverings and secondary attacks at the basket.

The division of labor is quite clear.

Compared with the current lineup of the Rockets, the Clippers who came to the Rockets tonight to challenge the Rockets at home are undoubtedly much worse: the No. 1 position is "Karren Mok" Andre Miller, the No. 2 position is "You can treat me as Kobe", the No. 3 position is "Left-handed Magician" Lamar Odom, the No. 4 position is "Captain" Elton Brand, and the No. 5 position is "Sugar Man" Michael Olovokandi. The names are very famous, but except Andre Miller, these people are basically the ones who don't work without taking the ball, and they basically have no cooperation with each other.

This is also the reason. The Rockets have widened the score difference to about 7 points. Tom also replaced Yao Ming again when he saw that the Rockets had occupied the initiative. Next, he will replace all the starters one after another, so that they can all take a break and prepare to start the fourth quarter to give the Clippers a "fatal blow".

"Swish!"

Yao Ming waited for less than two rounds, and with Odom making a raid-style layup on the Clippers, the time for the dead ball came and he could play.

"Kevin, beautifully done!"

He greeted Kevin Cato who was walking towards him.

Unfortunately, the latter ignored him and walked directly from him, muttering: "I haven't had a good fight yet! Why should I replace me! fxxk..."

This is for Yao Ming to hear, and he is also expressing his dissatisfaction to head coach Tom: Why should such a guy with zero points in the first half let him play?

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, this guy doesn't like me!

Yao Ming's memory is the situation where his teammates took good care of him when he first came to the Rockets. He almost forgot that there is another guy in the team who is hostile to him, Kevin Cato.

Especially after he was pushed to the starting center by Tom, this guy disliked him even more. He raised his feet onto him in public and asked him to tie his shoelaces for him to show his status in the team.

But this is useless. If you need to transform into a power forward, you still have to transform into a power forward. In the end, you will be traded in the next season because you have not been able to get into shape with Yao Ming for a long time.

In short, it's just tossing.

Therefore, Yao Ming didn't care about his hostility.

He actually quite understood Kevin Cato. This kid's performance is so poor, why should I give him a seat? If Yao Ming was Kevin Cato, he would probably not have given him a good look.

He believed that as long as he could perform well, this guy would naturally not be so hostile to him.

"Well~"

When Yao Ming came on the court, there was a slight boo sounding from the sidelines, from a group of Rockets fans who had lost patience to Yao Ming.

Francis glared at the guy who booed the sidelines the most: "Shut up your damn smelly mouth and watch the game quietly!"

Then he patted Yao Ming's butt: "Don't pay attention to these bastards, you can perform normally!"

A series of operations made Yao Ming sigh in his heart: It’s true that he is such a big brother!

Nodding gently, Yao Ming walked to the familiar and unfamiliar bottom line and gave the ball to Frances, and then jogged to the Clippers' defense zone. The "sugar man" Olovokandi looked at him with a smile, just about to say to Yao Ming, "You are here, brother, sit quickly." The rest of the Clippers also looked at the expression of "The fat sheep have already landed and are ready to slaughter".

It turns out that I was like this in the eyes of these guys at that time!

Yao Ming looked at their expressions and felt a sigh in his heart.

Think about it, in terms of the first four games of his career, he may be the worst No. 1 pick, and it is normal to be regarded as a "fat sheep".

Francis also arrived at the Clippers' defense zone now, which made Yao Ming quickly gather his mind.

The gorgeous style of the game and excellent physical fitness are the label of Steve Francis. His playing style is a typical offensive No. 1 style. He can average 24 points per game after three games.

This was a high and scary scoring number in the NBA No. 1 position in 2002.

He also knew Francis's playing style. Yao Ming did not hesitate to mention that he made a pick-and-roll for the latter with a high position.

The pick-and-roll was suddenly given, and Francis did not mean to call the pick-and-roll. Andre Miller did not react at all. Francis used Yao Ming's cover to easily get rid of "Karren Mok", rushed to the basket to confront the "Sugar Man" and sent the ball into the basket.

"Nice, Yao, this cover is so good!"

"You've gotten familiar with our rhythm, right?"

"I know, I know, yes, boy, you are going to start showing your strength!"

In the process of returning to defense, Francis calculated all the credit for the goal on Yao Ming. He believed that with the quality of Yao Ming's cover, even if he let a dog dribble, he could make a layup just now.

"Man, give me a ball and let me teach this kid a lesson!"

The "Sugar Man" just looked at Yao Ming with the look that he wanted to get a bargain on him. As soon as Andre Miller passed half the game, he immediately spoke and asked the latter for the ball.

This made Mageti's expression dark, damn it, it's too late!

I should say hurry up!

The other expressions may not be so obvious, but when they looked at the "sugar man", they all had a little envy.

Seeing this, Kenny Smith said: "The No. 1 pick in 2008 has once again competed with the No. 2 pick in 2002!"

Barkley curled his lips and complained: "Two parallel goods!"

Olovokandi is also considered to be the well-known "parallel player" in the league.

This is his fourth year in the league. In the first three seasons, the best average data in the season was only 9.8 points and 8.2 rebounds. Among the players who are both rookies in 1998, some have become the league's voters, some have averaged more than 21 points per game, and some have scored 11 points but have not died. Compared with these, he is really nothing.

Fortunately, Kwame Brown entered the league last year, otherwise he would still be wearing the title of "NBA's largest single-partner pick"!

This is probably the reason why the "Sugar Man"'s eyes shine when he sees Yao Ming?

If you want to get rid of the pillar of shame, you must tie another person to the pillar of shame. Now, he has such a chance - as long as he beats up Yao Ming, after this game, the hat of "the biggest parallel pick" will have nothing to do with him. Then it will be a war between Yao Ming and Kwame Brown.

He had already scored 6 points on Yao Ming in the first half, and he is now very confident that he would score another 6 points on Yao Ming!

This is 12 points, and what about Yao Ming’s scoring column? It’s still zero now!

Humph!

Boy, don't blame me, this is society!

Olovo Kandi, who successfully got the ball at the low post, snatched his fierceness into Yao Ming's arms without saying a word. He had tried it in the first half. Although this kid could stand his footing in the face of his impact, he leaned back when the upper body hit, which could not stop his subsequent layup.

“Wait!”

Sure enough, as the "Sugar Man" expected, Yao Ming was pushed away by him.

I'm going, is this guy so powerful?

Oh, no, it's because I'm too weak now.

When the "Sugar Man" came over, Yao Ming subconsciously pushed over. He subconsciously thought that he was 150 kilograms now, but in fact he was only 130 kilograms now, which was only 2kg heavier than Olovokandi, but his center of gravity was so high that when the tonnage was similar, the opponent's strength was greater than that of him, so he naturally retreated as soon as he bumped.

Like paper.

Fortunately, Yao Ming's ability to control his body after the confrontation was far better than that in 2002. He quickly gained a foothold, and then exerted force on his feet and looked forward.

"Bang!"

The ball in his hand that had just left Olovokandi was slapped by him.

"It's too slow to take action, man!"

After Yao Ming finished speaking, he began to rush towards the Clippers' defense zone.

He had seen James Posey rush to the floor and give the ball to Frances.

Francis was shot out like a bullet at this moment.

Is it so fast?

Yao Ming was surprised at his speed when he ran.

He actually ran almost as fast as Odom on the opposite side.

It’s great to be young!

It's so nice to be thin!

"Bang!"

Francis launched a counterattack very quickly, but the Clippers returned to defense very quickly. Mageti and Andre Miller attacked left and right, interfering with his layup.

Odom, who was following them, looked at the bounced ball and flew towards him, and was also happy. Is happiness so suddenly?

His mind was already thinking about how to fight back later.

But just as he jumped high and reached the basketball with his hands reaching the ball, he was about to touch the ball, and his big hands touched the ball one step faster than him.

With a "bang", the ball was firmly protected by those big hands.

It is the Rockets No. 11.

The top scholar from China.

The ball was actually snatched by this guy?

Grass!

Then how can I still behave!

Odom, who felt embarrassed, then rushed towards Yao Ming, trying to slap the racket in his hand, but Yao Ming seemed to have expected that he would rush over, turned around in place, and avoided his forward-flying ball-taking action very gorgeously.

Odom pounced in vain, staggered several steps before he stood firm, and almost fell to "drink mud".

"Grass!"

Fans sitting behind the uncultured baskets express their inner shock by using a plant.

Yao Ming, who avoided Odom's pounce, had no defender in front of him. He no longer hesitated, and stood on tiptoe, holding the ball in his hands and smashed the basket towards the basket.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise coming from the basket.

The cheers in the audience then exploded like bombs...
Chapter completed!
