Chapter 248 Yao Ming's Terrifying
Early in the morning on November 28, the Bobcats embarked on a journey to Milwaukee. At night, they were the second time this season against the Bucks.
This is the last game for the Bobcats in November. After the match against the Bucks, the Bobcats will have three full days off and will not go away to challenge the Hornets until December 2.
However, the players didn't know that Brown Old is making a decision to let them train hard. Even if this factor is ruled out, they are very unhappy.
Because they were about to smell the bad smell of the Bucks locker room again. Especially Jackson and Carol, who had a vicious obsession, were extremely depressed and didn't talk much along the way.
However, Yao Ming was in a very high mood. Yesterday, several team doctors jointly checked his health and concluded that he had completely recovered his health and could play for more than 30 minutes. This is the playing time a core main player should have.
And now, he can do whatever he wants and can gallop on the field.
"Jiang Jun, dj, you have to give me the damn ball in the evening game. I want to play for 40 minutes." Yao Ming said to Jiang Jun and Augustine with great enthusiasm.
Jiang Jun smiled without saying a word. Augustine curled her lips and said, "Yao, stop bragging. With your weight, it would be great if you can run down in 30 minutes."
Yao Ming said disdainfully: "dj, no matter what, I will get at least 25 points tonight."
Jackson smiled and said, "Okay, everyone will pass more balls to Yao tonight, he has been holding it in for a long time."
This game will be broadcast nationwide. This was unthinkable before, because the Bucks and the Bobcats were both in the club before last season, and they were not outstanding in terms of strength, and neither side has any outstanding stars and record.
When a TV station broadcasts the game live, attention and ratings should be considered. Generally, if a weak team wants to broadcast the game, it is not necessary to compete with a strong team or some memorable games for the team. Otherwise, you will generally not enjoy this treatment.
But this season is different. The Bobcats have become a new high in the league and can be said to be very popular. The attention this team has received now can be said to be equal to the Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Magic and other giants or powerful teams.
This game can be broadcast nationwide, and the Bucks who play at home can be said to be the Bobcats' glory.
At 7 p.m., the game officially started. The commentators of espn sports station are still MacBryn, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson.
"Jeff, today's news reports say that Yao Ming's injury has completely improved. Are you expecting him to play a monster-like data?" said Bolling.
Van Gundy nodded and said, "To be honest, it is not surprising that Yao Ming performed well. He is diligent in training and has amazing talent. He can be said to be a unique player. The only thing that can stop him is injury."
Jackson smiled and said, "His compatriot Jiang should assist him."
Brin looked at the statistics table and said: "In recent days, experts from various sports stations have been predicting the ownership of the best rookie. Now, Jiang is ranked first, with Griffin of the Clippers and Wall of the Wizards ranked second and third respectively."
Jackson shook his head and sighed: "Those two are the No. 1 picks in the previous two years. Who would have thought that a second-round pick could rank ahead of them in the competition?"
Jiang Jun is today's second round player, but Griffin and Wall are the two No. 1 picks in 2009 and 2010 respectively. Griffin did not play last year due to injury. So this year the league put him among the rookies for evaluation.
The starting lineups of both sides have slightly changed compared to the last time.
The Rockets changed the starting center. Yao Ming replaced Diop into the starting lineup.
For the Bucks, the starting players are: organizational defender Jennings; power forward Elson Ilyasova; center Larry Sanders; small forward Luke Bamot; shooting guard John Salmons.
New center Sanders Jiang Jun has an impression because he is the 15th pick this year.
Because during the draft, the top 14 players can usually be invited to the Milk House to participate in the draft. For other players, he is not qualified to enter Milk House.
From this point of view, Sanders is as worthy of sympathy as Jiang Jun, and they are both people who have failed.
The starters Boggot and Guden in the last game were both on the daily watch list and could not play in this game.
Bucks head coach Skeles was a little worried. He still remembered the last game freshly. He knew that his opponent Jiang Jun was very difficult to deal with. If he wanted to win, he had to guard against Jiang Jun.
But in the last game, he used Jennings and Salmons to prevent Jiang Jun, but the rookie still scored 14 points and an astonishing 16 assists, and defeated the Bucks 105-103.
At that time, Jiang Jun was still adapting to the NBA's game intensity and referee dictatorship standards, so it can be said that he did not let go.
After more than 10 games, Jiang Jun was already very good at playing.
At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming and Sanders jumped. Sanders was young and vigorous and jumped very high, but Yao Ming was in a good mood and in good health today. Hearing that this game was broadcast nationwide, Yao Ming was even more excited. In addition, he was already more than ten centimeters tall, so he actually touched the ball first and transferred the ball to Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun slowly led to the frontcourt, and Jennings stepped forward and followed closely. Yao Ming occupied the position outside the three-second zone line, leaned against Sanders, and shouted for the ball.
Jiang Jun quickly passed it in.
Yao Ming took the ball and turned around, dribbling the ball with his left hand, and tweeted Sanders to the side with his right hand, and then broke through to the basket.
Facing the empty basket, Yao Ming jumped lightly and grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand and made a dunk.
Seeing Yao Ming, who was tall and mighty as if he was descending to earth, turmoil at the basket, the Bucks were no longer nervous.
Brin smiled and said, "Jeff, I saw a fan's post a few days ago, saying that the Rockets' team doctor's level is really bad. Almost every player will be more or less injured when he comes to the Rockets."
Van Gundy smiled and said, "You can't blame the team doctor for this. To be honest, injuries are part of the game and part of the player's career. Almost every player will be injured. This is related to the players' physical fitness, condition and schedule."
"But strangely, a fan conducted a statistics and said that many Rockets players were immediately alive and rarely injured when they were traded. This also embarrassed the Rockets team doctor." Bryn smiled.
This question is a bit sensitive, and neither Van Gundy nor Jackson have an excuse, but instead diverted the topic.
Jennings dribbled forward and even though he scored 18 points in the game, he could be said to be completely restricted by Jiang Jun.
Before the game, Skeles warned him to reduce his personal heroic singles, to make more subversions and break through and pass the ball.
Jennings did not dare to make random shots, but passed the ball to Salmons. Salmons broke through Jackson and made a jump shot from the three-point line.
On the other hand, Jiang Jun continued to play against Yao Ming, and Yao Ming did not disappoint everyone's expectations, either dunking, turning over and jumping, or turning around and breaking through the bottom line after receiving the ball. His movements were very smooth, and his shooting percentage was also amazing, with an amazing 4-for-4 shot, reflecting his good condition and hot feel.
Skeles originally arranged a lot of tactics to defend Jiang Jun. However, Jiang Jun did not take action today, but frequently made a spell on Yao Ming, causing the game to follow the rhythm of the Bobcats.
In desperation, he had to adjust his game's defensive strategy. The focus of the defense was on Yao Ming's side. Sanders was at the back to defend, and Salmons and Bamot were always paying attention to double-teaming Yao Ming.
However, once these two men go forward to double-team, they will inevitably miss other Bobcats players. Jiang Jun's ball is elusive. As long as there is a gap or opportunity, Jiang Jun will definitely send the ball directly to let his teammates shoot comfortably.
"Oh, this rookie Jiang has a very strong ability to seize opportunities." Mark Jackson was born as a guard in the organization. He paid special attention to Jiang Jun. Seeing that Jiang Jun and his teammates cooperated with each other, his power became increasingly powerful, he couldn't help but nod.
After 9 minutes of the first quarter, the Bobcats temporarily led 21-16, and Yao Ming scored 10 points with shots and free throws. Then he was replaced by Kwame Brown.
Next, both sides increased their defense and it became difficult to score.
At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats led 25-21...
The Bucks made it to the playoffs last season, and the Bucks had higher expectations in the new season, but they lost one after another after the start of the season and recently suffered five consecutive losses. Today, facing the Bobcats at home was a good opportunity to rebound. But I didn't expect that the team was in a poor state and was inferior to the opponent on both sides of the offense and defense.
The Bobcats gave up defense in the second quarter and attacked the Bucks, winning 37-31 in a single quarter. At the end of the half, the Bobcats played 62 games.
53 leads.
In the third quarter, the shooting rate of players on both sides dropped sharply, which may be related to everyone's duty.
The Bucks, who were unwilling to surrender, made a big counterattack in the fourth quarter. With 2 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game, Salmons made two free throws, catching the score to 88-93.
When his teammates were having difficulty scoring, Jiang Jun stepped forward and scored a buzzer-beating three-pointer, directly announcing the Bucks' bad luck.
In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Bucks 104-101.
Yao Ming played happily today, scoring 32 points and 10 rebounds. He can be said to be the player who is the easiest to score when he comes back from injury. Jiang Jun scored 16 points and 12 assists, and his assists were fewer because everyone paid attention to passing and his shooting percentage was not low.
Jennings scored 17 points and 7 assists, Ilyasova scored 17 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Salmons scored 16 points and 7 assists, Bamott scored 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Larry Sanders scored 10 points.
Augustine scored 17 points and 6 assists, while Sean Livingston scored 16 points.
