Chapter 183 Decisive Battle Moment
The current Yao Ming is definitely not at his strongest state, but it is when he has the strongest desire to win.

Now that the opponents have already gone all out, they have to go all out even if they are late.

With the increase of his career, the late ball control skills began to mature, but he didn't like to do some gorgeous and complicated technical moves.

Late, who took over the ball again, changed hands behind the back twice in a row, glanced at Billups' ankle, and suddenly chose to speed up the breakthrough.

Billups was concentrating, reacting very quickly, and chose to move to block at the first time-but the impact of hitting the closed ankle was that his mobility declined a lot.

As a heavy point guard who is not good at moving laterally, Billups' body did not keep up with his consciousness, and he succeeded in breaking through late.

Yao Ming stood under the basket, watching Late come in, without any distracting thoughts in his mind. Based on his understanding of Late, he knew that Late would definitely choose himself for the ball.

Based on Yao Ming's understanding of lateness, despite the fact that everyone says he is a very team player and likes to share the ball, in fact Yao Ming believes that once the critical moment comes, he is the one who believes in lateness the most.

The idea of ​​being late is also true. The other players of the Warriors didn't feel good today. Even if he wants to pass the ball to help his teammates score, it is not so easy.

The speed of being late is not very fast, but the stride is very large and the rhythm is very strange. The first step has passed Billups, and the second step has already rushed in front of Yao Ming.

The 229cm tall man almost touched the basket with his open hands, which is a huge deterrent for players who break through for layups.

If Yao Ming can still have the mobility of Howard, then he will definitely become the number one super center in history.

Is it a direct confrontation with Yao Ming?Or finish the throw in advance to minimize the interference caused by Yao Ming's height?
Chi Da already had a plan in mind, he opened his mouth slightly, controlled the ball with his left hand, took the last step with his right foot, and when he was about to rush in front of Yao Ming, he suddenly distanced himself from him.

Even the experienced Yao Ming was shocked: Has this guy improved so much?The European step breakthrough that was only mastered in summer, has been practiced to the point of doing whatever you want?
Yao Ming gritted his teeth and chose to pounce on late.

But his knees couldn't withstand the sudden explosion, and the pressure on his body's joints from his huge weight was too great.

A burst of severe pain hit, although Yao Ming held back, he was still half a beat behind.

The late man was in the air, shaking one hand, the arc of the basketball was extremely high, easily dodged Yao Ming's block, and fell almost vertically into the net.

The Warriors overtook and gained a one-point lead.

Sure enough, that guy won't give up the victory easily!

Yao Ming licked his lips lightly, and looked down at his left knee, still feeling some tingling pain.

He walked slowly to the Warriors half court, lowered his center of gravity again, leaned on Milicic, and raised his left hand to ask his teammates for the ball.

After the Rockets passed the ball outside several times, the ball was still handed over to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming, who held the ball inside, played with his back for the first time, and tried to shift his center of gravity to the right, so that at least his left knee would be less stressed.

Milicic also refused to give an inch, holding Yao Ming's lower back with one hand, and at the same time calling for help from his teammates.

Two people or even more people against Yao Ming, in Milicic's view, it is not a disgrace.

He has already admitted in his heart that his strength is far inferior to Yao Ming, especially now that Yao Ming, who clearly feels that his fighting spirit has been burned to the extreme, is definitely not something Milicic can compete with.

Almost all of Yao Ming's weight was on Milicic, which made him feel very strenuous.

Fortunately, Harrington's double-team came soon, and Yao Ming had no more time to make offensive choices.

Milicic obviously felt some changes in the power from his left hand, and Milicic thought to himself: Here we come!

In the previous contests, Yao Ming was often able to rely on his height and weight advantages to overwhelm Milicic almost completely. This made Milicic very afraid. When he felt the change in Yao Ming's strength, he immediately chose Take off and try to block.

Milicic's choice is not wrong. Yao Ming's height advantage is too obvious, especially the small hook at the basket, and his shooting percentage is very high. If he does not take off early to block the shot, it is almost impossible to interfere with his shooting posture.

But Yao Ming responded immediately. He didn't take off completely, but made a small movement of turning sideways. After Milicic took off, Yao Ming took the initiative to bump into Milicic and make a foul.

"Di!"

As soon as the whistle blew, Yao Ming's foul-making tactic was successful. He almost instinctively threw it away, and the basketball got into the net.

The goal is valid, plus a penalty.

Yao Ming gave his teammates a high-five to celebrate, and then made a solid free throw to give the Rockets a two-point lead.

Arriving late and dribbling the ball across the half, Billups followed up the whole time, preventing him from getting a chance to shoot from the backcourt. Prince moved his position again and relaxed his defense against Hill. It seemed that he was ready to come over at any time. double team.

Countless game experience has told the entire league that it is not acceptable to double-team late without the ball regardless of the cost, but some top defensive players can still find suitable opportunities to assist teammates in defending late.

This time the Rockets' outside line was very desperate. Late was about to change the rhythm when Prince suddenly rushed over from the side.

This caused the late rhythm to be affected, and he almost made a dribbling error. After finally controlling the ball, he was caught in the middle by Billups and Prince.

"This goal may be lost!" The two commentators on the imperial court were relatively neutral. After all, there are Chinese players on both sides as the super core. No matter who wins or loses, it is a victory for the Chinese players.

Prince has long hands and long legs, and his physical talent is not comparable to being late.

Billups was ahead of Late, and with his weight advantage, Late could not easily dodge. Prince immediately reached out to try to steal.

The sight of being late was completely disturbed, and there was no way to see the position of his teammates. Hill was the one with the most experience in the team, so he immediately chose to go up to meet him, but it was already a bit late.

Prince's big hand caught the basketball and immediately pressed down with all his strength.

Late's core strength is good and he is not afraid of confrontation, but his explosive power is not very strong. Under the double-teaming of Prince and Billups, the ball was lost.

Van Gundy sighed: "The Rockets' outstanding performance this year has a lot to do with the joining of Billups and Prince. They helped Yao Ming share a lot of defensive pressure on the outside. Billups sees the overall situation." Very good, he should have seen that the Rockets must support Yao Ming from the outside, otherwise it is almost impossible for him to make it to the end of the game. The cooperation between him and Prince is very tacit, and this steal is very critical."

Prince completed the steal, immediately chased the basketball, and allocated the ball to Alston.

The streetball king glanced at the empty half of the Warriors, and was about to pick up his speed and charge, when Billups yelled: "Raff, pass the ball."

Alston stopped immediately and handed the ball to Billups.

It can only be said that Alstom's ability to read the game is still a bit poor. The Warriors' half court is indeed empty, but the Warriors' athletic ability is obviously higher than that of the Rockets. Alstom's counterattack alone is likely to Wasted this key steal, and even eventually led to the team losing.

Billups' experience allowed him to control the team's rhythm at critical moments, and the Rockets continued to slowly push through the half court and reorganize their offense.

Yao Ming still ran to the inside to ask for the ball. Harrington went around the front to defend immediately. Billups hesitated and called Prince to play a pick-and-roll with him.

Prince's pick-and-roll is not very routine, it is directly aimed at the late possible running route, which is the role of top defensive players.

He effectively delays late, allowing Billups to dribble to the hoop for a two-step pass to David Lee.

Harrington also played very hard today, with a very active defensive attitude. He immediately retreated to the free throw line and interfered with David Lee's mid-range shot.

David Lee glanced at the basket and found that there was no chance, so he immediately hit the ground and passed Billups.

The big heart didn't stop the ball at all, and sent the ball to Yao Ming with one hand.

The Chinese behemoth caught the ball again, and he hugged the ball tightly with both hands. He didn't even make any dribble movements, turned around and took off to shoot.

Milicic raised his hands to interfere, but only hit Yao Ming's arm, but failed to prevent Yao Ming from scoring.

"Di!"

The referee blew the whistle again, the two points were valid, and a free throw was added.

Meanwhile, Milicic was ejected for six fouls.

The Warriors had to make a substitution, allowing Biedrins to play center.

Yao Ming made free throws very steadily, scored another point, scored his 41st point in the game, and helped the Rockets establish a five-point advantage.

With less than 3 minutes left in the game, the Warriors are not out of chance.

Most of the Rockets players had been teammates with Late, and even how terrifying he was at the critical moment, they didn't dare to be careless at all. When Yao Ming made a free throw, he had already chosen to return to defense——Yao Ming was making a free throw, and the Rockets also He is not qualified to fight for this offensive rebound. Instead of taking the risk of giving the Warriors a chance to counterattack, it is better to play steadily.

He arrived late and dribbled the ball across the half, and was flanked by Prince again.

But this time he was late and prepared. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Prince's running. Before his double-team was about to arrive, an extremely concealed pass from behind gave the ball to Grant Hill who was emptied.

The veteran has been very consistent this season, shooting nearly 48 percent from the field and is one of the most reliable scoring points for the Warriors.

He also knew very well that the ball could not be passed back. After aiming at the basket, he made a mid-range shot.

But today the Warriors really have no feel at all, even Hill's most accurate mid-range shot was affected, he missed the ball!
