One precious attribute point is worth more than ten points from one task.

Task chains are indeed very useful.

Yao Ming allocated his attribute points to the "jumping" ability, which is also the attribute with the lowest average value for Yao Ming.

With a full point of jumping, Yao Ming felt much more relaxed.

The blocks seem to be more powerful now!

After leaving the arena, Yao Ming didn't see Garnett's bus stop, it seems the Wolf King has already appeased himself.

The Rockets' performance in this game shocked the entire league.

The correct statement is that Yao Ming's performance in the fourth quarter single-handedly crushed the championship favorites, the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' tactics are a combination of offense and defense.

They have one of the top three winning percentages in the league this season.

Apart from being outplayed by the Kings, the Rockets have never lost so badly before. More importantly, this time the Rockets completely overwhelmed the Timberwolves.

This is how Yao Ming found the Timberwolves' weakness.

The Timberwolves appear to be well-rounded in both offense and defense.

Actually, both offense and defense are just average.

If you break Garnett's system, they'll fall apart; if you shut down Sprewell, they'll lose their offensive spearhead.

Even though the Rockets' pace couldn't match that of a championship-winning team like the Timberwolves, Yao Ming's dominance, his unstoppable scoring skills, and his field goal dunks made him a perfect counter to the Timberwolves.

They can't avoid mentioning Yao Ming, Wu Sheng, and Eddie Griffin.

In the final moments, the Timberwolves' scoring almost stalled.

Garnett left the game with three minutes left, and for the rest of the time he watched the game with a towel on his face, looking grief-stricken.

The show was incredibly stylish.

The sense of pathos it conveyed was overwhelming.

Defense is the foundation of the Timberwolves' success, and their reliance on Garnett's mid-range offense is the secret to their high winning percentage.

However, this game also revealed the Timberwolves' shortcomings.

If Garnett's mentality collapses when facing a strong opponent, the Timberwolves' performance will drop by more than just one or two quarters.

Many fans believe that the Timberwolves lost because of Yao Ming's trash talk.

What exactly he said has quickly become one of the top ten mysteries of the NBA season.

However, Garnett's mentality has calmed down a lot now. He is not as angry as before. Being hit by Yao Ming has made him more sober.

They didn't say anything unpleasant after the game; instead, they quickly shifted the fans' attention.

This guy started praising Yao Ming a lot.

"That guy? My God, he's a monster. When he backed me down, I thought I was running into Shaq. All-Star? Of course! If Yao Ming doesn't make the All-Star team, then the All-Star team loses its meaning!"

Garnett may not be highly educated, but he's quite shrewd.

They're all playing the game of using someone else to do their dirty work.

When a reporter interviewed Yao Ming and asked him what trash talk he had said, Yao Ming remained very calm: "I forgot what I said, I was just annoyed by Kevin at the time, you know, he was always nagging in my ear."

"Of course, this is also a technique. As long as there is no foul, it is allowed by the rules."

"Win? Probably. My teammates were better? They were absolutely fantastic!"

Yao Ming is never stingy in sharing his honors.

The reporters were also very 'respectful'.

This directly contradicts Yao Ming's statement.

After the game, they wrote, "It's always easier to perform and put up stats playing alongside Yao Ming!"

Another NBA behemoth is rising!

"The new Shaq!"

The media was truly malicious. As the first foreign-born number one draft pick and also the first Asian superstar, Yao Ming faced far more pressure than anyone imagined.

For example, right now.

If he makes even a small blunder, powerful figures from major media outlets will step in and have them smear Yao Ming's reputation.

These kinds of things can't be suppressed; you just have to tough it out.

The Rockets are very united right now. Francis is a big fan of Yao Ming and will blindly side with his good brother. Da Zhou is basically one of their own. Glenn Robinson can do whatever he wants as long as he has money.

The only one who showed any emotion was Cato.

However, there aren't many emotional outbursts.

During the previous Christmas game, Cato and Mobley were put on the market as bargaining chips. Although they ultimately lost, Cato was still dissatisfied.

In this era where inside players reign supreme, Cato's value was not as high as Francis's.

But he also considers himself the leader of the team's locker room.

The Rockets' blowout victory over the Timberwolves came as a surprise to most people.

As a result, a lot of strange and monstrous things suddenly appeared.

However, many media outlets used Yao Ming's performance in this game for commentary, compiled highlights, and even made it into the top five plays for the first time.

Some media outlets no longer dared to continue their smear campaign; instead, they obediently switched to a mode of praising and exaggerating.

Yao Ming has been too strong lately, so strong that they dare not make any underhanded moves.

The only thing I can do is to disgust him for now.

In an interview, Glenn Robinson proudly stated, "Yao Ming is a great teammate. He kept Madman on the court just to get revenge for me. He blocked Sprewell twice. We have a fantastic relationship!"

This guy is just forcing himself to gain attention when he doesn't have any.

As a first-game performance, not a starter, and after playing one quarter he was completely overwhelmed, you might not even remember him without looking at the team roster.

However, the big dog still managed to get a spot on the front page of various newspapers in the background.

Moreover, the way Big Dog managed to get into the news this time was correct.

Because of his initiative in sticking to Yao Ming, he actually managed to get a bit of Yao Ming's good luck.

Some media outlets have also referred to Big Dog, Yao Ming, and Francis as the "Big Three," since Big Dog and Yao Ming were both number one draft picks, and Francis was the second pick.

……

"Hey, Yao Ming, you're here!"

When Yao Ming arrived at the arena after changing his clothes, he saw Big Dog greeting him with a big smile, and he smelled strongly of perfume.

This guy's talent is truly remarkable.

She goes to nightclubs every night, never repeating the same thing, and consistently finds companions; her skills are quite impressive.

"Good morning, Glenn, why are you here so early today?" Yao Ming's reply was standard.

Then we started practicing shooting.

Yao Ming's mid-range shooting is quite accurate now, and quantitatively speaking, he should be rated B+.

"I'm a hard-working player. Don't listen to those outsiders talking nonsense; it's all fake," Glenn Robinson said righteously without any embarrassment.

Completely ignoring the reporters squatting outside taking pictures, he even struck two poses.

Pretend to keep a low profile.

The two chatted awkwardly for a while, with Glenn Robinson even retrieving the ball for Yao Ming: "Why are you practicing your mid-range shot?"

Centers in this era are all the "sit-in" type.

Yao Ming thought for a moment and said, "It's just about improving, and mid-range shots are easier to dominate the game."

"Wow, that's so cool! You're really handsome, Yao Ming! Come on, let me teach you the mid-range shot!"

You, teach me!?

Yao Ming was stunned for a long time.

But I must say, after the ball was given to Glenn Robinson, his shot was actually very standard, except for the first one which missed.

He gave an awkward laugh and said, "One more, please."

In the next practice shot, Glenn Robinson made 8 out of 10!

The shooting percentage isn't the key point; the key point is Glenn Robinson's shooting rhythm. This guy's shooting accuracy is surprisingly consistent!

"Glen, if you're willing to play well, you'll definitely be an All-Star." Yao Ming's words were sincere.

"Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about?" Glenn Robinson covered up his embarrassment. "Come on, let me teach you some tricks. You're very talented, this isn't difficult!"

Glenn Robinson then began to explain to Yao Ming his breathing and ball handling techniques.

NBA players who are good at playing generally have one or two special skills.

The idea that everyone can learn from one team is wishful thinking. They not only don't know how to teach, they don't even know how to pass the ball to newcomers.

Yao Ming learned very quickly, and Glenn Robinson didn't have much to teach him before training even started.

However, the relationship between the two has eased somewhat.

Whether Glenn Robinson was putting on a show or had ulterior motives, it was at least a positive thing for Yao Ming and the Rockets.
