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

The December competition has ended.

Yao Ming won Rookie of the Month for the second month.

Meanwhile, Yao Ming was also named the Western Conference MVP.

The Western Conference Player of the Month award for December was contested by Yao Ming, Kevin Garnett, and Dirk Nowitzki. In the end, Yao Ming and Garnett were evenly matched in all aspects, and after careful consideration, the league slightly favored Yao Ming and awarded him the Player of the Month award.

Yao Ming is also the fourth rookie to win Player of the Month in the league, following Duncan, O'Neal, and Iverson.

Therefore, Yao Ming successfully topped the Western Conference vote in the first round of All-Star voting.

The fans' reaction was not as intense as in the original timeline.

In his past life, Yao Ming's leading vote count was almost entirely due to hype from the Houston locals, and the league didn't care about Yao Ming's life or death, only about the traffic.

As a result, the repeated appearances of large numbers of domestic fan tickets elevated Yao Ming to a status beyond his usual stature.

For someone who isn't a Yao Ming fan, this is definitely a cover-up.

This time is different.

Since Yao Ming emerged, he has successively dominated Stoudemire, Ben Wallace, and Garnett, and the Rockets are now on a 7-game winning streak!

Getting past the first round of All-Star voting is practically a sure thing.

So if Yao Ming makes it to the All-Star game, that's just inside information, not a scandal.

It's July now.

Cato's injury is not optimistic, and with Mobley also needing to rest for a while, this casts a shadow over the Rockets' winning streak.

The only one who didn't take it to heart was Glenn Robinson.

However, Glenn Robinson's actions during this period have drawn widespread resentment within the team.

After negotiations by Big Dog's agent, Glenn Robinson started as the small forward in January, and his performance in the first two games was quite good.

But then it headed straight for the sewer route and never looked back.

You must average 20+ points per game!

If that's not enough, just throw it in during garbage time.

It was only because Yao Ming kept things under control and Francis held things back that Yao Ming remembered Glenn Robinson from his past life, who was ruthless and would force shots for the sake of statistics in crucial moments, ultimately causing the game to turn into a loss and almost ending his career.

The Rockets' three-game winning streak at the start of January allowed Yao Ming to reap a huge benefit.

I also received the third-stage badge.

Using the weak to bully the strong

【Overpowering the Strong: Silver-level badge, type: special, when the opposing player's rating exceeds the host's, with a chance to randomly draw 1-3 attribute points from the opponent as bonus points for your team】

Yao Ming calculated his stats and found they were actually quite good.

The weaknesses during this period were jumping ability, stamina, and explosiveness. Of course, if the opponent was Shaquille O'Neal, his strength was also insufficient.

The idea of ​​the weak bullying the strong can be used in many situations.

Getting this kind of thing in just 10 games is practically a steal!

According to past NBA practice, the period from January to February, around the All-Star Game, is the time of year with the highest intensity of the regular season.

Conversely, the intensity tends to stabilize after the All-Star Game.

The fourth game in January: Rockets vs. Nets.

This was also the Rockets' last game against the Nets this season. Yao Ming scanned the area with his badge and surprisingly discovered that he could exploit a bug.

In his normal state, Kidd cannot activate the "weak against strong" ability.

But Kidd can get offensive rebounds.

抽取传控临时+3，一瞬间大姚感觉手感都柔和了不少，这场比赛也成功轰出第一次的17分+7篮板+10助攻+5盖帽。

Yao Ming's performance is characterized by periods of explosive growth, and these bursts of growth are not necessarily reflected in any particular statistical category.

This gave Tang Shuai a lot of fun.

But Glenn Robinson's attacks continued down the drain.

Francis also had a cold hand.

Francis's strengths are his excellent athleticism, his passing, ball-handling, and shooting abilities, but they are all hard to describe. What's worse, he doesn't like training.

If the Rockets want to continue moving forward, they are starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.

On the contrary, he unexpectedly stepped up in this game.

During his rotation time, he consistently used shooting to keep the Nets close in the score. Although he was very poor in fast breaks and defense, his offensive consistency was enough to make up for his shortcomings.

Besides, the Rockets don't have a second unit available right now.

He made 6 of 7 field goals and 2 of 2 three-pointers, giving the entire league a real surprise!

The Rockets have won 11 straight games, bringing their overall record to 19 wins and 11 losses. They are currently 8th in the Western Conference and have a slim chance of making the playoffs. This is the first time in five seasons that the Rockets have a playoff berth.

Of course, the bigger problem this brings is that the Rockets are being hyped up even more!

Yao Ming's constantly released resume couldn't overshadow the Rockets' hype about his speed.

They're not just praising Yao Ming as a person.

They're just hyping him up as the best center in the NBA.

Seeing the headlines in the newspaper every day makes Yao Ming very upset, and what's even more ridiculous is that Francis and Glenn Robinson clearly don't have a good relationship.

However, the two were in complete agreement on this matter.

It's so awesome!

Many of the reports and media outlets were also promoted by them.

Every time I hear them say, "Hey bro, that was my line, wasn't it super cool?"

God knows how Yao Ming felt at that time.

On January 7th, the Rockets will host the Bucks. This season, the Bucks have undergone a brutal restructuring, trading away three key players: Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen.

Currently, only Cassell is still struggling to keep the team afloat.

If things had gone smoothly, Cassell would have been traded during this period, and the Bucks could have peacefully tanked and waited for the rebuild to begin.

Their market is even colder than Minnesota.

They are not afraid of giving up at all.

Because there's not much room for decline, the Bucks' revenue mostly comes from the support of their domestic fans. Their fan base isn't as large as Los Angeles' or New York's, but their consistency is exceptionally high.

They can definitely hold out for two or three seasons.

However, giving up is like chocolate in a box; you can't just give up whenever you want.

The Bucks traded Ray Allen and Big Dog, and their former rotation player, McGreed, suddenly started to stand out.

After Big Dog left, Michael Reed scored 20+ points in three consecutive games!

The team's management was terrified.

They were afraid they would win.

Before the game against the Bucks, Big Dog was extremely arrogant and showed no respect whatsoever. In interviews with reporters, he showed no consideration for his former team.

"I told you they'd regret trading me! I'm doing great in Houston now!"

When Yao Ming saw the report, he was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed.

If you don't like it, you can simply stay silent.

Don't cause trouble!

As expected, the Bucks launched a desperate counterattack in this game, especially with McReed and Tim Thomas, who seemed to be attacking the basket like madmen.

With Yao Ming guarding the paint, the Bucks' offense was extremely difficult.

However, despite Glenn Robinson's negative influence, the Bucks won the game after a hard-fought overtime, thanks to three players scoring in double figures and eight players scoring more than 8 points!

[Winning streak ends]

Yao Ming watched from the bench as Cassell made the crucial three-pointer.

To be honest, for the first time, he wanted nothing more than to kill a "well-informed unit".

今天大姚拿到生涯首次25+8+3+11的数据，场均盖帽数量2.6次也惊人的登上盖帽榜单第五！

Yao Ming gritted his teeth as he watched Glenn Robinson consistently score 20+ points!
