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

"4.2 seconds!!!"

The DJ was practically screaming with excitement: "My God, Coach Collins's incredible strategy! From the jump ball to the score in just 4.2 seconds, that's a new NBA All-Star Game record! I believe this record will be etched in history!"

The DJ's shouts granted the Adventure System a 0.1 bounce attribute.

Yao Ming was very pleased.

The records from this All-Star Game can provide a foundation for Yao Ming's stats. This isn't an All-Star Game; it's a playground.

Jay Williams and Stoudemire, who had run back, also had mixed feelings.

Their attack was entirely thanks to Yao Ming.

Before the game started, Yao Ming explained the tactics to Stoudemire and Jay Williams.

This kind of simple and aggressive fast break is the most suitable style of play for Stoudemire.

If you paired this with a good point guard, it would be absolutely perfect.

Although the current playstyle can only be considered a basic version.

But my teammates aren't much better either.

Murphy, standing on the second-year side, snorted angrily: "These rookies are really letting themselves play! Just because they have Yao Ming, they think they don't exist?!"

The second-year students have an extra year of NBA experience compared to the first-year students.

That's real combat strength!

Tony Parker received the ball and began to steadily advance the ball.

Arenas' playing style was too selfish, so Kareem Abdul-Jabbar moved him to the shooting guard position, and the ball-handling role was given to Parker.

The young Parker was well-trained by Popovich.

Although Popovich's tactics are not great, he is really good at training players and is very good at discovering their strengths.

Parker's speed and consistency have been developed exceptionally well.

Compared to some high draft picks in the first round, he's actually gained an advantage.

The three-point line drew Caron Butler's attention, and Parker skillfully evaded Butler's defensive blockade, passing the ball to Arenas who was coming up.

Arenas furiously drives to the basket!

He was planning to respond with a dunk, but then he saw Yao Ming suddenly appear on the side, standing right under the basket!

For a moment, Arenas was unsure whether Yao Ming would play along or be serious.

So, from the bottom of his heart, he raised his arm and chose to pull up for a jump shot.

How can scoring not be considered scoring?

DUANG!

The ball didn't go in!

Arenas looked terrible; he'd been too relaxed lately, even losing a shot like that. Yao Ming easily grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Stoudemire.

This time it's the 02 generation's turn to perform.

Yao Ming and Stoudemire advanced the ball, and the two of them actually passed it to the basket, where Yao Ming ultimately dunked it for a score!

"Holy crap! They're not even going to act anymore, are they?"

The fans at the scene were speechless.

Two big centers drove into the paint and dunked on him?

Even though it's an exhibition match, isn't this a bit too much of a performance?!

It was strange that Yao Ming and Stoudemire didn't high-five each other. Their usual running and defensive rotations were awkward. Richard was telling the team to be more serious.

The other side has no intention of playing along with them.

Richard leaned against the basket, keeping Yao Ming firmly in place.

His standing meditation skills are truly enviable.

Moreover, the position he was in was Yao Ming's lower back, which made it difficult for Yao Ming to turn and generate power.

Arenas finally dribbled in again, and with no one messing with him under the basket, he was ready to score another point with a flourish.

Stoudemire suddenly appeared from the side!

Arenas was so angry he wanted to curse.

Stoudemire's back-to-the-basket defense wasn't outstanding, but he jumped incredibly high, and his massive frame completely shut down Arenas.

Arenas didn't want to gamble and made a mistake just now.

This time Arenas threw the ball out.

Richard Jefferson received the ball next to him. He had just jumped up when he felt immense pressure coming from behind. Yao Ming's slap came from behind but arrived first!

Snapped!

The basketball slammed against the backboard, then Yao Ming jumped up to grab the ball, and Stoudemire got it: "Counterattack!"

The second-grader quickly passed the ball to Jay Williams, who was running.

The latter finished the attack with a bank shot and dunk!

6-0 at the start!

The second-grader was stunned by the beating, and the fans in the stadium suddenly sat up. It seems like this isn't just a show; it looks like someone is trying to do something real!

The current second-year starters are also a bit flustered.

Something doesn't seem right?

Why is everyone else just playing around and showing off their skills, but you guys are actually doing it for real?

The match went on for two more rounds.

Now, second-year fans can be sure that first-year fans are up to something.

Because the score was now 8-0.

If they can't break through, it will be too embarrassing. The NBA schedule is very tight, and often the players have to play the next game before they have fully recovered.

This is also why many teams are plagued by injuries.

The body cannot fully recover.

All-Star Weekend is treated like a mini-holiday for players.

Moreover, this was the May Day holiday after a long period of working overtime without any rest, being tormented by Lao Qian.

Disturbing someone's vacation is almost like avenging the theft of a wife.

Tony Parker and Gilbert Arenas charged into the fray with fury. The rookie big men were now a no-fly zone. Yao Ming and Amar'e Stoudemire, two big men with average defense, were now displaying top-notch defensive abilities.

During Yao Ming's peak years, he was able to maximize his individual defensive skills but faced various limitations in his support defense.

So their defensive percentage is good, but they haven't been able to get into the defensive formation for a long time.

On the other hand, Stoudemire's situation was the opposite. His running and help defense and rebounding were pretty good, but he often got beaten up in one-on-one defense.

The two players' defensive rhythms were surprisingly well-matched.

With the addition of the "Resolute" badge, the sports car feels like it's simultaneously slamming on the brakes and desperately trying to accelerate.

Both of Tony Parker's feet are now betraying him.

Arenas went 0-for-3, and Tony Parker didn't dare to continue either. Fortunately, the appearance of his sister-in-law brought new hope.

A clever pass and alley-oop, and they finally scored!

8 is better than 2!

Now, Yao Ming is using the Heat's style of play with his rookie, and there's really no pressure at all. In fact, if a young Gasol were his opponent, Yao Ming could play like he was Shaquille O'Neal.

No need to use any cheats.

Compared to his sister-in-law, who was an all-around inside support player in her prime, the current Gasol is too immature, his moves are too easy to predict, and he dominates against weaker opponents.

Yao Ming played for 7 minutes in the first quarter.

He grabbed rebounds and delivered big blocks over the big sister-in-law's head in various ways. Despite not scoring much and relying mainly on put-back dunks and rebounds, he still managed to get 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 blocks!

The game turned out like this.

It is very difficult to determine whether the players on the field are actually acting.

The game was much more normal without Yao Ming, because both sides were actually playing seriously. It's just that the second-year player suffered from a lack of tactics and was hit by a sudden wave at the beginning. Also, Yao Ming's strength was indeed a bit too much.

Randolph was beaten to tears by Duncan when he was a rookie.

Now, his sister-in-law is doing similarly; he got two blocks in a single quarter.

What's remarkable is that Randolph's expression towards him was one of sympathy, unlike his previous tendency to kick someone when they're down.

During his rookie season, Randolph had not yet been abandoned by the team.

So it's only occasionally that she's compared to her sister-in-law, that Spanish football prodigy.

The score was 38-32 at the end of the first quarter, with the second grade trailing by 6 points.

And this score was only achieved after Arenas had a spectacular performance, hitting two consecutive three-pointers to close the gap.

Otherwise, the score difference would have been 10 points.

"Despicable! Shameless! They can't take a joke, these little trash!" Zach Randolph was furious on the second-year bench.

He was in a terrible mood after getting beaten up.

Now it's not just Yao Ming who's tormenting him; Stoudemire and Boozer, under Yao Ming's tactical arrangements, are also very unfriendly to Randolph.
