NBA: Yao Ming at his peak returns to his rookie season

The game between the Pistons and the Rockets has entered the second half.

Both sides are at maximum fatigue level.

Francis has reduced his fancy playing style; he's now incredibly annoyed with Prince, who's like a mad dog in heat!

Yao Ming and Ben Wallace were also very tired.

Even though both of them had showered during halftime, they were still covered in sweat.

Ben Wallace was trying to wear down Yao Ming's stamina with physical contact, but Yao Ming is very experienced. Physical contact is not good for him, so everyone should keep running. Ben Wallace was also exhausted from playing against Cato and running at the same time.

Midway through the third quarter, Prince couldn't keep up with Francis's pace.

The Little Prince now only has various sarcastic provocations left, but Francis's movements have also become much stiffer.

Both sides began to experience casualties.

Both Cato and Prince left the game due to fatigue. Without Prince, Billups returned to face Francis.

Francis wanted to jump up and yell at them.

That bastard fought so slyly all day, he didn't waste any energy.

With Cato no longer blocking his way, Ben Wallace's rebounding ability was revived. It used to take Yao Ming and Cato together to limit Ben Wallace's rebounding.

Now he's sweeping it up again.

Losing key positions under the basket has put the Rockets on a dangerous tipping point.

The pace of the game is now Larry Brown's forte.

The veteran coach is ready to take over the game.

Rockets bench

Coach Tang looked on with disappointment; the Rockets' score was 72-67, still leading by 5 points.

If Cato can hold on a little longer, give them some more time.

The Rockets will probably be able to beat the Pistons.

This is a piston.

The strongest iron army in the east.

For a bottom-of-the-table team like the Rockets to beat the Pistons head-on is very significant. It's just a pity that they don't have Cato, and the Rockets currently have no one who can contain Ben Wallace.

As top coaches, both Tomjanovich and Larry Brown have a direct understanding of the game.

They probably had a general idea of ​​how the fight would turn out.

If a team has a superstar scorer like Kobe or McGrady, it might be possible to turn the tide, but Francis and Mobley are clearly not players of that caliber.

As for Yao Ming, he worked very hard.

In fact, if we only talk about on-court performance, Yao Ming was more outstanding than Ben Wallace today.

Everyone could see Yao Ming's efforts, but the Pistons still tied the score with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Tom called a timeout.

It's pointless to try anymore.

Back on the bench, Francis angrily swung his towel, yelling, "Damn it! That bastard Chauncey, if it weren't for that rookie, I could walk past him like it's nothing!"

Yao Ming sat on the other side of the bench.

It wouldn't be too difficult for Francis to beat Billups now.

Billups' defense is certainly above average, but it's too much for a star like Francis who can run and jump so much; he's hard to keep up with.

But the Pistons have Ben Wallace on their roster.

Moreover, their defense is an iron torrent of people. Ben Wallace is the core of the defense and also the icing on the cake. The Pistons' defense is a meat grinder designed by Larry Brown, with all the players tearing the opponent apart layer by layer.

After one person passes by, you immediately realize there's another row of people.

Coach Tang is setting up the water dispenser tactics.

This is the prelude to already admitting defeat. The remaining time is intended to be used to train the newcomers and see if there are any promising talents.

Although the possibility is not high.

"Coach, I... I want to try again. I want to see if I can stop Ben Wallace!"

The English is very standard.

Everyone understands each individual word, but when put together, why does it seem so abstract? And then there's Yao Ming, which makes it even more abstract.

Is he crazy?

This is how Yao Ming's teammates on the Rockets look at him.

Tang Shuai was thinking that Yao Ming, a young man with such outstanding talent, was still young and still believed in miracles, which made things even more interesting!

It was just that Larry Brown, that bastard, made a few sarcastic remarks.

Looking into Yao Ming's eyes, at his proud protégé, Tang Shuai felt a surge of relief: "If you want to do it, then go for it. As long as you don't give me the signal, you can keep playing however you want!"

"I'm not resting either! Damn it, Yao Ming, I'm going to get revenge on Changxi!"

Mobley looked at the two young men with a hint of helplessness.

If he were two or three years younger, he might have joined the group too.

But unfortunately.

Now that Old Cat is over 30, his physical condition has declined significantly, and he needs to avoid the risk of injury. It's not that the coach wants him to stop.

I just got beaten 5-0, so I'm a bit old-fashioned.

Yao Ming sensed the presence of Tommy and Francis, pulled up the scroll bar, and opened his inventory.

Stamina potion (small), mental potion (small).

Choose to drink the stamina potion.

In an instant, Yao Ming felt his tired body relax again.

I feel energetic now!

Then Yao Ming activated the [Giant God] skill.

……

Larry Brown is setting up tactics for the Pistons.

But the players opened champagne at halftime.

Apart from Ben Wallace, who remained expressionless and listened to the coach's instructions, the others had already started mocking him.

"That big guy really fought fiercely, he almost scared me to death, thankfully he's all weak now!"

"He only played around with me in the first quarter, and from the second quarter onwards, he didn't even come into the paint!"

The noise around him made Ben somewhat unhappy.

A hand patted him twice on the shoulder. It was Billups: "Don't be so nervous. We've got this game in the bag. Just figure out how to taunt Steve."

Mocking Francis?

Big Ben has lost interest in the game after playing for so long.

It was quite interesting arguing with Francis, but seeing Yao Ming made it seem a bit boring, like arguing with a child.

That kind of thing doesn't even qualify as dessert.

With the whistle blowing, both sides returned to the game!

Detroit fans were loudly and boisterously laughing.

Welcome to the NBA!

"That number 11, he's here again. Are you here to shine my shoes?"

Laughter echoed continuously.

Make sense.

Yao Ming is a mild-mannered person with a mild temper most of the time.

Even when she gets angry, she's not very violent.

Unless you absolutely can't resist!

On the court, Ben Wallace and Yao Ming exchanged glances, and in an instant, Ben Wallace was excited. This newcomer showed absolutely no sign of backing down!

Francis's pass came flying over.

Yao Ming caught the ball and immediately plopped down inside!

There was absolutely no hesitation!

In post-up play, a forward's post-up game relies on shoulder strength, while a center's post-up game relies on gluteal strength. It seems that this is the first time Ben Wallace has experienced Yao Ming's hip size.

Big Ben has played in leagues abroad.

I've also fought against Asians.

Most of them are not good at this NBA back-to-the-basket style of play, but Yao Ming's buttocks are very powerful in terms of both circumference and strength!

Unable to dodge in time, Ben was stunned by the force of the blow.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Ming turned around and dunked with both hands.

Score!
