NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Chapter 228 You Bulls fans, why call out the championship in front of our Rockets?

In the second half, the Bulls continued their fiery state in the first half. Ben Gordon made a three-pointer with the ball and took a 58-55 lead again.

There was a new round of cheers immediately in the stands of the United Center.

Since the basketball god Jordan retired, the Bulls have lingered in the last and second places in the Eastern Conference for 6 consecutive seasons.

Until last season, under the leadership of Hinrich, Ruhr Deng and Ben Gordon, the Bulls returned to the playoffs, and finally people saw signs of the recovery of this former dynasty team.

And it wasn't until this game of this season that the fiery state of the three young people when they faced the hottest team in the league finally allowed those Bulls fans in the stands who were once spoiled by the god of basketball to go wild again. .

The stands of the entire United Center arena turned into a sea of ​​clamor at this moment. Bulls fans made all kinds of crazy and provocative noises. They vowed to become the sixth man of the team and help the Bulls win this game One game, turning the Rockets into a stepping stone for the Bulls on their way to recovery.

"champion!"

"champion!"

"champion!"

......

I don't know which fan got the start first, and the shouts of "Championship" began to be heard in unison above the United Center arena.

This call is not only to the Rockets who are now standing opposite the Bulls, but also to the other 28 teams in the NBA, loudly announcing the return of the king of the former Bulls dynasty.

The atmosphere of the entire arena and the momentum of the Bulls' young guards also reached their peak that night during this process.

It's a pity that, just like the implied laws of operation in this world, in the nba world, no matter what kind of upward momentum, after reaching the peak, it will always fall to the bottom.

This process can happen during a dynasty, a season, or a game.

And the Rockets, with Yao Ming, Zhang Jinshui and Tracy McGrady, three top superstars, are definitely capable of making this kind of momentum change in a game more straightforward and more thorough.

Especially when the Rockets heard the opponent's fans chanting the "championship" slogan, this is undoubtedly the biggest challenge to the Rockets, who regard winning the championship this season as their ultimate goal.

Before serving again from the bottom line, Yao Ming, McGrady and Zhang Jinshui looked at each other with a burning fighting spirit in their eyes.

Among the three, McGrady was the first to stand out. After Yao Ming was disturbed in the interior, he took Yao Ming and gave it to Zhang Jinshui. Remembered a dry jumper and hit an unreasonable three-pointer to tie the score on the court again.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Maishui Samsung set an example on the defensive end, connecting points to lines and lines to planes, putting unprecedented defensive pressure on the Bulls and successfully causing the Bulls to violate the 24-second offense.

Then, because of McGrady's unreasonable three-pointer just now, the Bulls did not dare to shrink the defense to the inside, and finally left some gaps for Yao Ming to attack inside.

Yao Ming, who had already been unable to restrain himself, naturally would not waste such a good opportunity. He began to squeeze out the offensive position in the three-second zone, and firmly asked Zhang Jinshui for the ball.

After getting Zhang Jinshui's unlimited supply of shells, Yao Ming first used a half-turn and mid-range shot to easily hit a half-slam basket, and then used smooth Shanghai dance steps twice in a row to shake off the opponent's defensive center and easily hit the basket , put the ball into the basket.

帮助火箭队打出了一波6比0的得分小高潮的同时，也让火箭队以64比60获得了非常难得的4分领先优势。

The lingering sound of the shouts of "championship" is still lingering, but the originally high emotions of Bulls fans have begun to turn around.

However, after half a season of accumulation, the Rockets, who have more and more winning experience, naturally do not intend to stop there, especially after Yao Ming has opened a gap in the Bulls' interior defense visible to the naked eye.

There was no need for Van Gundy to deliberately mention anything on the sidelines. Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Zhang Jinshui clapped and shouted at the same time, calling on the teammates to get excited together. With this wave of momentum, the Bulls fans in the stands knew that they were qualified. What kind of strength should a team that calls out the word "championship" have.

With the three of Yao Maishui leading by example, the Rockets continued to maintain a high pressure on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, Zhang Jinshui made full use of the deterrence created by Yao Ming inside.

When the Bulls had to shrink the defense to the inside to reduce Yao Ming's offensive space inside, Zhang Jinshui used the pass to connect Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady well.

In the next few minutes, Yao Ming and McGrady, the "mm combination" that has gradually become forgotten due to the arrival of Zhang Jinshui this season, began to take over the game.

They continued to help the Rockets score points through Yao Ming's inside attack and McGrady's outside attack. They even threw the ball high into the air to assist Yao Ming completed a long-lost alley-oop.

Such a rare Yao-Mai connection allowed Zhang Jinshui to find the long-lost feeling of watching football in front of the screen in his previous life, and he became very excited.

Next, Zhang Jinshui, who was full of fighting spirit, was no longer willing to hide behind Yao Ming and McGrady.

When it was the Rockets' turn to attack again, he stretched out his hand to greet Yao Ming and mentioned the top of the arc to help him with the pick-and-roll, and by sprinting at full speed under the cover of Tracy McGrady and Battier, he successfully got an open shot from the bottom line on the right. And stepping on the rich green under his feet, he hit a hollow three-pointer steadily.

76 is better than 66!

Unknowingly, the three of Yao Maishui continued to show off their power, and the point difference on the field has been opened to 10 points. This is also the biggest lead that the Rockets, which have been overwhelmed by the Bulls in terms of momentum, have gained in this game.

With a whistle of "beep", the Bulls coach Skiles standing on the sidelines had to reach out and call a timeout.

The United Center Arena, which had been very noisy, was finally completely silent at this moment.

No Bulls fan would have imagined that after they had just been ignited by the fiery state of the Bulls youngsters and shouted the slogan of "championship", the situation turned so quickly.

When Zhang Jinshui sat back on the bench after high-fiving each other with his teammates, he did not forget to reach out and shake his fingers towards the stands of the United Center, as if he was questioning the Bulls fans in the stands:

"You Bulls fans, why should you shout the championship slogan in front of our Rockets?"
