Chapter 208: Who is the number one center in the finals?
Ye Feng felt that Ailie was unreasonable and the two had their whole life together. However, if they didn't practice football, it would be difficult to improve next season and they might face another playoff defeat. He didn't want to lose anymore. He just chose a good rookie and traded to get a good point guard. He would have to strive for the championship next season. When facing the interview, he had already said the big talk and couldn't take it back.
No matter how good your teeth and tongue are, there are times when you are knocked. Even loving people will inevitably encounter unpleasant things and confront each other after spending a long time together.
Ye Feng knew that he had to grasp the standard of quarrels and not hurt feelings. Therefore, he adopted the method of "cold vs. heat" and I would not listen to you. When the other party was emotionally excited and could not control himself, he would ignore him and let her get angry. When his emotions settled down, he would slowly reason with her so that the other party would be easy to accept. Even if he couldn't help but quarrel, he should be sensible. He should never say heartless words, and he should not be angry, regardless of consequences and curse. This will not only hurt the other party's feelings, but also harm him.
The next day, Ye Feng got up very early and called Raymond Poppier at 8 o'clock, saying that he had some arrangements in the afternoon and could not see his training anymore. He wanted his online contact information. If possible, he would send him a training video in the future.
This is a good idea that Ye Feng thought of. Watching a training session will not help much. It is convenient to send videos with contact information. Both of them left their email contact information.
To express his gratitude, Ye Feng asked Bobill to meet him in the morning and bought some gifts for him. Bobill was married at the age of 27 and had a child who was nearly 4 years old. Ye Feng bought popular children's toys in France as gifts, including beautiful small houses, children's electric cars, educational toys, etc. The total value is 10,000 US dollars. Bobill knew that Ye Feng was rich, so he was not polite. Although the two were from different countries, they hit it off at first sight.
An hour later, Ye Feng returned to the hotel and found that Ailie had gotten up and was watching TV in the living room. It was an American program.
Ye Feng sat beside her and smiled and said, "Why do you watch such a boring show?"
Ellie's eyes flashed and she said lightly: "I got angry at you yesterday... Are we finished?"
"What?" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment.
Alile's expression was gloomy, "You and I will always break up one day."
Ye Feng frowned. "Why?"
Alile said seriously: "Because we have a quarrel."
"Dear, what stupid things are you saying? If you break up after a quarrel, then you... Oh, by the way, you have never been in love with a man." Ye Feng suddenly realized and laughed.
Alile stood up and looked at him with a smile, "So, we haven't broken up?"
"Of course not, it's just a little quarrel. I won't leave you." Ye Feng pulled her down and smiled, "I just went to see Bobill, gave him some gifts, and I won't go to see the training in the afternoon."
Alil smiled and said, "You won't go to the training for me? Why don't you go?"
Ye Feng kissed her, hugged her tighter, and smiled and said, "I won't go anymore. I told him to send me training videos on the Internet after returning to the United States. You are so cute, so you must do this in the future. Don't hide anything in your heart. If you don't like it, tell me. Even if you are childish, I will understand you."
"It seems like you are bigger than me, you are the child." Alile snorted: "Do you know? I just want to spend more time with you."
"So too. I won't rush to train when I go back, unless you want to, I didn't do anything last night, so I'll make up for it now?"
"OK!"
The relationship between the two has returned to normal and they continue to travel to Europe.
In order to prove that he cared more about Alier, Ye Feng completely put aside the basketball and didn't even plan to watch the finals. He played an international long distance for Yao Ming, congratulated him on entering the finals and helped him get lucky.
Now is the most important moment in Yao Ming's life. His confrontation with Howard is the biggest highlight of the finals. Major media have already shouted slogans - who is the number one center in the NBA?!
This season, Dwight Howard rose strongly and won the best defensive player, allowing people to see the domineeringness of the former Sharks. It seems that the king of center should wear Superman's head. But playing tough does not mean that the counterattack is dominant. Data is the best answer. Experts compared the two's records and data in detail before the game.
Yao Ming and Howard have played 8 matches, and the Rockets have the upper hand in 6 wins and 2 losses. In these 8 matches, Yao Ming scored a total of 192 points, averaging 24 points per game, and a shooting percentage of 55.6, while Howard only scored 97 points in total, averaging 12.1 points per game, and a shooting percentage of 45.1. Even in the rebounds and blocks that people think that Howard is stronger than Yao Ming, Yao Ming did not suffer any loss, averaging 9.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, and 1.3 assists, while Howard has 9.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks and 0.8 assists. From these data comparison, it can be clearly seen that in the direct dialogue between the two, Yao Ming showed his advantages.
A detailed comparison of the two's abilities.
On the offensive end, Howard's movement at low posts is smoother and more elegant. He has good footwork and his ability to hook in low posts has been improving. However, Yao Ming is the best low post single player in the league. He has both unsolvable turn jump shots, and can skillfully use left and right hands to score. Moreover, his jump shot after a low post is also awesome. These offensive methods are something Howard needs to learn slowly. Once the Warcraft cannot dunk, his offensive threat will be reduced a lot. Obviously, Yao Ming won the offensive ability.
Of course, Howard has strong athletic ability, and everyone on earth knows it. Howard can move quickly on both ends of the field with a calm ease and then dunk to score. Yao Ming's movement is already good with his huge body, but it is far from comparable to Superman.
The two people have a low post defense. Yao Ming does a good job in oppressing the opponent and interfering with the opponent's shooting. He has a height advantage and a huge body to occupy the inside and can withstand people. Howard has a stronger blocking ability than Yao Ming and has a stronger bounce.
In the outside defense, Yao Ming is one planet behind Howard, and pick-and-roll has always been a problem for the Rockets. This is why Oku always performs very well when playing against the Rockets, because Yao Ming cannot defend to the outside. Howard has better speed and explosive power, and his defense range is larger, and he can complete the defensive tasks after pick-and-roll well. This is why the Magic can defeat the Cavaliers led by James.
Rebounding is also Yao Ming's weakness, especially in defensive rebounding, Yao Ming does a poor job. He often throws away rebounds that he should have easily obtained, and Howard does a good job of protecting the rebounds and defeats Yao Ming this season.
Passing comparison, Yao Ming is a qualified passer who combines internal and external tactics. When the opponent doubles, he can accurately find his teammates on the outside. Howard did not do well in this regard, and most of his passes were not good. The regular season 35.7 minutes of playing time is only 1.4 assists to tell everything. Compared to him, Ye Feng is a passer master this season.
Compared with ball control, Howard can easily dribble across the entire game, and there are few mistakes. Yao Ming dribbles with only one-stop scores, and he often makes mistakes in dribbling at low positions, especially when there is a fierce body collision.
Compared to free throws, Yao Ming's strength is Yao Ming's strength. He is one of the most accurate big free throwers in NBA history. His career free throw shooting percentage exceeds 80, while Howard only has 60, which is already considered good.
Yao Ming's performance at critical moments is worse. Howard can still run all over the court when playing overtime, and Yao Ming's shooting rate will be reduced if he plays for more than 30 minutes. However, no one dares to foul Yao Ming in the fourth quarter, and letting him go to the free throw line is equivalent to giving away points. Howard is the opposite. All teams in the league like to use "shark-cutting tactics" on him at critical moments.
The comparison concluded that the two people were half a dozen, and the key to winning was actually the role players of both sides, especially the substitutes.
The first battle was staged at the Toyota Center Arena, and the Rockets had the home advantage. Adelman adjusted the lineup and the starting lineup was sent with Yao Ming, Landry, Artest, Vaughan Weaver, and Brooks.
The magic starts with the five tigers, Howard, Lewis, Tkogru, Koothie Lee, Nelson.
In order to improve the mobility of the lineup, Scola was on the bench, and Landry took the starting position as the fourth position, responsible for defending Lewis. He was fast and had better defense from the outside. The strong Artest faced Tkoglu, who was responsible for the ball attacking of the Magic, and had a heavy task. Bathir played as a substitute to be more backbone for the second team. Weaver had poor defense and good offensive ability. He averaged 10 points per game this season and his three-pointers were very accurate. The speed-based back line formed by him and Brooks will hit the Magic's penalty area.
Adelman's arrangement of troops is very targeted, and he is bound to win this championship.
The Rockets took the initiative at the beginning. Yao Ming singled Howard hit two consecutive mid-range shots. Even for the Warcraft, it was difficult to defend Yao Ming from a single jump shot. When the Magic attacked, Howard would not make Yao Ming uncomfortable. His offensive distance was short, mainly on both sides of the low post, so Yao Ming did not need to defend himself from outside.
The Magic had strong firepower on the outside, and the Rockets led by 2 points 24 to 22 in the first quarter. Once both sides were on the bench, the Magic couldn't stand it. The Rockets were Costic, Scola, Artest, Bathir, Alstom, and this lineup played against the main players of many teams without any loss. The Magic was DeAndrew Jordan, Tony Barty, Tkogru, Pitrus, Anthony Johnson.
The Rockets and Magic had no deal, so Alston stayed with the Rockets. The Magic's original important substitute Gotat arrived at the Clippers again. The Magic's team's strength is weaker than Ye Feng's previous life, and the Magic's substitute God pitcher Reddick missed the finals due to injury. The Rockets have obvious advantages in the substitute lineup.
Artest and Tkoglu were on the way, and Bathil, who was full of energy, targeted Pitrus, and the other three Magic did not have much attack power. As a result, the Rockets substitute scored an 11-0 shock wave and quickly opened the score.
Scola became the main attack point, and the old Tony Barty, Jordan, who flew in a flash, could not even defend him. Howard returned to the field early, Yao Ming continued to rest, and the Magic recovered some points. In the fourth quarter, the Rockets sent Anderson to implement the "shark-cutting tactic" to curb the Magic's powerful counterattack. The Magic could not replace Howard, and Jordan's free throw was worse than Howard.
In the end, Yao Ming scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. Howard made 12 of 17 free throws, scoring 22 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Yao Ming lost the data, but the Rockets got a good start to the finals 108-101.
