NBA: Starting with the undercut by Parker and Bowen

When Yao Ming mentally prepared himself for the game, he was ready to help his younger teammate score a lot of points.

However, after the start of the second half, he couldn't find an opportunity to intervene and create opportunities.

Perhaps it was scoring in double figures in the second quarter that gave Yi Jianlian the confidence to continue.

After the start of the second half, Yi Jianlian appeared very active and confident.

Before Yao Ming and Yang Lin even made a move, the other players had already started scoring, and their scoring rate was frighteningly high.

In the first six minutes of the third quarter, with the help of Mo's passing, Yi Jianlian made all four of his shots, including one three-pointer and two free throws, scoring 11 points in half a quarter.

In the three minutes Yi Jianlian was on the court in the second half of the game, his presence was slightly diminished.

But Yang Lin seized the opportunity and "gifted" him an easy layup dunk and two free throws, increasing his score in the quarter to 15 points.

During the break, Yao Ming had a headache from all the trouble.

Damn it, I couldn't even "give" my little brother some points. I'm a bit of a failure as the big brother of this national team!

Look at Yang Lin, he silently "gifted" his life away, he's a born actor.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of time left, and there is still a chance to make a move.

During the final quarter rotation, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were both on the court, while Yang Lin rested on the bench.

Yi Jianlian is matched up against Scola.

Yao Ming's acting skills are somewhat...

He repeatedly allowed Yi Jianlian to attack Scola's defense, causing "Diamond" to frequently turn his head and look at him in confusion.

After Yi Jianlian scored a basket, he faced Scola's probing gaze.

Yao Ming shrugged and spread his hands, explaining, "This is a matchup between you rookies, it's not my place to interfere. When you were playing him, their number 6 (Bogut) didn't intervene either, did he?"

Scola: I would really appreciate it!

Brother!

The reason that number 6 doesn't interfere is because he has to keep an eye on you; he doesn't have the energy to interfere.

You don't get involved simply because you're too lazy to do so.

Yi Jianlian maintained his good touch in the final quarter, and thanks to Yao Ming's slight leniency, he scored another 10 points and grabbed 3 rebounds in the final quarter.

The game ended with the Rockets defeating the visiting Bucks 104-96, continuing their winning streak to start the season.

Yi Jianlian, the highly anticipated sixth overall pick in the rookie draft, delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 37 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and making 2 steals.

He not only significantly broke his own single-game scoring record, but also achieved his first double-double in his NBA career.

The other two main protagonists in the Chinese derby also had good performances tonight.

姚明出场39分钟，投篮16中7，罚球14中14，强势砍下28分10板3助攻3盖帽；

杨林出场31分钟，投篮13中7，三分球8中4，罚球6中5，砍下23分7助攻3抢断。

After the match, Yang Lin met Zhang Weiping and the others again, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Clearly, this was an extremely successful Chinese derby.

The Rockets, supported by most Chinese fans, won the game and continued their winning streak; the three Chinese players performed exceptionally well on the court, scoring dazzling statistics.

I couldn't be more satisfied. Tonight, Yang, Lin, and their two teammates played the Chinese derby that the Chinese people dream of.

After exchanging pleasantries and preparing to leave, Yang Lin glanced at the statistics and said to Yao Ming with some regret, "We acted a bit too late. If we had taken action in the first quarter, Yi Jianlian could have easily scored 40+ points, maybe even 50+."

"37 points is already very high."

Yao Ming rolled his eyes. "My career high is only 41 points, and I've only scored 40+ twice. For Yi Jianlian, scoring too many points isn't a good thing either; it puts too much pressure on him."

"What? Yao Ming. Your career high is only 41 points? That's too low. You should at least score 50+! Otherwise, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself a star player."

"..."

Yao Ming stopped, his eyes flashing with deathly intensity, and roared, "Get the hell out of here!"

The Chinese derby has come to a successful close, and the Rockets have won all three of their games this week.

On November 11, Yang Lin flew to Charlotte with his team to challenge that man's team—the Charlotte Bobcats.

At noon, Yang Lin refreshed the league's official website.

The expected information appeared on the league's official website as hoped.

NBA Player of the Week (Second Week):

东部：凯文-加内特，场均22.75分14.75板6.25助攻2.75抢断，波士顿凯尔特人周战绩4胜0负；

西部：杨林，场均30.7分7助攻2.7抢断，休斯顿火箭周战绩3胜0负。

With his 55 points against the Mavericks, Yang Lin's weekly scoring average surpassed 30 points, and coupled with the team's undefeated record that week, he finally won his first regular season honor.

It's kind of pathetic to think about!

Yang Lin has already won the Larry O'Brien Trophy and the Finals MVP Award, yet he doesn't have many other honors to his name. He even treasures his Player of the Week award.

Grand Champion...FMVP Trophy...

Barkley, Karl Malone, and others: Pathetic my foot!

But then again, Garnett has been really good since switching teams!

Yang Lin grinned, wondering if his Rockets Big Three, along with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, could beat the Celtics Big Three.

It feels a bit difficult!

Despite Adelman's constant tweaking, the Rockets' offensive system remains a complete mess.

Of course, if they meet in the finals, Yang Lin feels that his team should be able to put up a fight, after all, his three sure-fire three-pointers are indeed a bit unreasonable.

7:30 p.m., Charlotte Arena.

Upon entering the arena, Yang Lin noticed that the attendance was rather meager, even less than some of the preseason games he had played before.

That makes sense, it's North Carolina!

This is the domain of college basketball.

The Bobcats have only been in the NBA family for a short time and don't have much of a historical background.

The team doesn't have any decent star players, so naturally it can't attract fans to come and watch the game live.

Before the game, Yang Lin, along with Yao Ming and Michael Jordan, met with Michael Jordan, the GOAT of basketball.

Seeing Yang Lin, Danzi was quite happy, but said with some regret, "You moved too fast during the offseason. We were originally prepared to make an offer to you. But before we could even start our research, you announced that you were joining the Houston Rockets."

Yang Lin thought to himself, "They won't even listen to my offer. Who would want to join the Charlotte Bobcats?"

There are no teammates here, and your draft picks are... well...

Once you become a big boss, you've completely evolved into a businessman, and you've become incredibly stingy.

Of course, Yang Lin said something else entirely: "At that time, I had only played a few good matches, and I wasn't confident, so I was anxious to find a new team..."

The game that followed was pretty much a foregone conclusion, with the Rockets defeating the Charlotte Bobcats 85-82.

Although the final score was close, by only three points, the Rockets completely controlled the pace of the game, and the Bobcats saw no hope of winning whatsoever.

Tonight, Yang Lin was matched up against Raymond Felton, one of the three point guards in 05. Compared to the other two, Paul and Deron, Felton seems to be several levels behind.

The following day, I traveled to Memphis, Tennessee.

Since relocating from Vancouver to Memphis, the Grizzlies have enjoyed a brief period of success over the past few seasons.

Under the leadership of Jerry West, the Grizzlies made the playoffs for three consecutive years, and the team also produced its first All-Star, first Coach of the Year, and first Sixth Man of the Year...

Last season, Pau Gasol's injury at the World Championships led to a 5-17 start for the team, and West ultimately chose to tank to compete for the number one draft pick.

Despite choosing to tank, the team's individual performances still had their highlights.

After recovering from his injury, Gasol achieved career highs in various statistics, Mike Miller made 202 three-pointers, Rudy Gay had an outstanding performance in the second half of the season, and young players such as Hakeem Warrick, Terrence Kinhey, and Kyle Lowry are all promising.

After a disastrous season, Memphis residents thought their team would make a comeback in the new season.

But reality dealt them a harsh blow.

After two weeks of competition, the Grizzlies have a record of 1 win and 4 losses.

Of course, at this point, the Memphis fans still held onto hope and wishful thinking, hoping that the team could bounce back, get back on track, and win.

But Yang Lin knew that Jerry West had left the team in the summer.

This means that the Grizzlies' previous team building has failed, and the Grizzlies will trade players and rebuild the team in the new season.

Pau Gasol will soon be heading to his true love – Kobe Bryant.

Thinking about the Lakers with Gasol, Yang Lin quickly looked to his left and right.

huh~~

fine!

We have the Great Wall of China, we have the T-Mac, we have Batman, we have Chris Wilcox, we have diamonds...

Our Houston Rockets also have Yang Lin, the second rookie Finals MVP in NBA history.

November 13, FedEx Arena, Memphis.

Before the game started, the Rockets players, including Yang Lin, were very relaxed.

They believed that their team would secure another victory in a little over two hours.

However, shortly after the match started, Yang Lin discovered that tonight's match was not what he had expected.

Just over three minutes into the first quarter, Pau Gasol drew two fouls from Wilcox; less than half a minute after Scola came off the bench, Pau Gasol drew another foul.

In the latter part of the first quarter, Yao Ming was fouled twice by Darko Milicic.

The Rockets actually played well offensively tonight, but their defense was hampered by a series of fouls.

Facing Pau Gasol, Wilcox fouled out after 19 minutes; backup power forward Scola also committed four fouls.

Kyle Lowry, Mike Miller, Rudy Gay, and others aggressively attacked the basket, causing Yao Ming to foul out with just over five minutes left in the final quarter.

The score was 28-25 in the first quarter;

The score was 25-24 in the second quarter;

The score was 26-31 in the third quarter.

Playing at home, the Grizzlies gradually took control of the game.

With just over five minutes left in the final quarter, when Rudy Gay drove past Yao Ming and scored, prompting the referee to blow the whistle, the Rockets were filled with despair.

Yao Ming fouled out, the Rockets' second sixth foul tonight.

The score was 85-94, and the Grizzlies still had free throws.

If Gay makes the free throw, the point difference between the two teams will reach double digits for the first time tonight.

Seeing his teammates looking discouraged, Yang Lin clapped his hands twice and shouted to the Rockets, "Brothers, keep it up! We're only down by 9 points now. It's just a matter of 3 three-pointers. T-Mac and I can easily handle it."

McGrady echoed this sentiment: "That's right! Just three three-pointers. Honestly, there's plenty of time."

Guy takes a free throw.

"Bang!" It didn't go in.

Hayes protected the rebound.

After dribbling the ball past half-court, Yang Lin launched a three-pointer that seemed destined to go in.

Grizzlies are on offense, and Mike Miller misses a shot.

Turning around, McGrady also got angry and immediately pulled up for a three-pointer, which he made.

The Rockets scored 6 consecutive points, immediately narrowing the gap to 3 points.

Seeing that the two big shots were true to their word, the rest of the Rockets players on the court got excited and actively engaged in defense.

One minute later, Yang Lin hit an open three-pointer to take the lead.

Seeing their efforts throughout the game being quickly overtaken and tied by Yang Lin and McGrady, the Grizzlies' momentum instantly vanished.

The Rockets narrowly defeated the Grizzlies 106-103.

That old saying was right!

There are no weak teams in the NBA.
