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

The Rockets started with a 4-0 run, completely overwhelming the Bulls.

The game continues.

Jay Williams, despite Francis's defense, took another shot, which inevitably missed. This time, the young boxer made a big contribution by taking the crucial rebound.

However, the young boxing champion dared not attack.

Yao Ming completely dominated Little Shark under the basket.

The Little Shark's pride and joy had no effect on Yao Ming; he didn't even leave the defensive zone.

Yao Ming used his footwork and positioning skills to completely dominate Eddy Curry.

They can't pass to the basket, and they're afraid to shoot themselves.

The young boxer could only return the ball to Jay Williams. Honestly, he really didn't want to return it, but there was simply no one else available.

Jay Williams got the ball back and, gritting his teeth, threw down a three-pointer!

He holds the second-highest season record for three-pointers in the NCAA.

The movements were graceful, and the move was incredibly cool!

But the Martial Saint, who came over to help defend, blocked it again!

Francis received the ball and drove to the basket, executing a fancy between-the-legs dunk, then smugly hung on the rim for a moment.

Now, Jay Williams looked at the two bastards in front of him as if he wanted to devour them!

The referee was also very hesitant.

Is this a boast or not?

The cheers of the Bulls fans filled the air, and the referee silently lowered his whistle, knowing that blowing it wouldn't solve anything.

Tomjanovich could only tacitly accept that the Bulls dared not surrender.

Keep beating them, and this is how the score will be.

Yao Ming and Steve Francis are sitting on the bench, while Cato, Da Wang, and Big Dog are playing on the court. Big Dog has scored 20 points and is now not moving at all.

Cato and Dazhi's coordination is quite good.

We're just waiting for the final whistle.

Who knew that when Cato went for a layup, Eddie Griffin, perhaps feeling too frustrated, suddenly bumped into Cato.

The force wasn't that great.

However, Cato, who was trying to get up, suddenly clutched his knee, looking pained. Yao Ming was stunned. Cato only came on as a substitute for 17 minutes in this game.

Tomás just wanted Cato to rack up 20 minutes of playing time.

How could this have happened so suddenly?

The team doctor rushed to the scene.

Despite Yao Ming's grim expression, the report stated that Cato had a problem with the collateral ligament in his left knee and would conservatively need to rest for two months!

"Tomatoes!" Yao Ming cursed angrily in Chinese.

The Rockets' team doctor is really unreliable!

Players need to be tested before they can return to play, and the Rockets managed to test Cato like this!

Cato's defensive ability is exactly what the Rockets need in the playoffs.

Given the current situation, Yao Ming has serious doubts about whether he will be able to return to the court this season.

"I, I should have listened to Yao Ming, I swear!" Cato, lying on the stretcher, truly regretted not listening to Yao Ming's advice.

Before the game started, Yao Ming wanted Cato to have a full medical check-up.

If that doesn't work, go to a third-party organization.

It was because of this that Tomás cancelled Cato's starting position.

Cato threw a tantrum in the locker room, even though the Rockets' team doctor had checked and confirmed he was fit to return to the court.

Cato, clutching his knee, knew he was done for this time.

The team is unlikely to give him more opportunities.

Yao Ming also regretted not being more forceful and letting Cato rest for a while longer.

The competition has turned into this mess.

Chicago fans were even more furious at their team's despicable behavior.

The game ended in a crushing defeat for the Bulls, and after that game, no one would ever compare Yao Ming with Shaquille O'Neal, Jayson Tatum, or Jay Williams again.

There is no comparison.

Yao Ming completely dominated them in this game.

At the same time, the Bulls' management also regretted it.

They have a chance to acquire Yao Ming, after all, Yao Ming had his tryout in Chicago. If they were willing to trade Eddy Curry or the young star and the second overall pick to the Rockets, Yao Ming's arrival might just make the Bulls great again.

Unfortunately, everything was ruined.

Jay Williams was far from being as outstanding as he was touted to be, and Little Shark also suffered from a series of problems, including a lack of self-control and emotional outbursts.

Judging from the competition, the best performer was actually the little boxer.

However, his playing style is too blue-collar, lacking the domineering presence of a superstar center.

After the game, Yao Ming rarely lost his temper in front of the media.

What's outrageous is that Jay Williams actually responded, saying, "See you in Houston! I'm going to be serious in the next game!"
