Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 40 The Way to Crack Yao Ming

The Rockets' opening game was at home, and all the media related to the Rockets were present, including Chinese media.

Not long after Anthony returned to the locker room with the team, staff soon came to him, saying that the Chinese media wanted him to be interviewed.

Midfielder interview, which is not surprising in the NBA, and Bzdelik didn't say anything.

Under the guidance of the Chinese reporter, Anthony quickly arrived at the workbench of the Chinese media. When he arrived, he looked up and saw Yao Ming was already there, and smiled at him when he saw him coming over.

It was also at this time that Anthony met Yang Yi, an old acquaintance, and another person who looked familiar, with half-haired hair and a bright smile. As soon as Anthony sat down, he signaled to the camera that the interview could begin.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Weiping from CCTV Sports Channel. First of all, we are very happy that Melo accepted our interview."

Listening to his words, Anthony suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the legendary instructor Zhang Weiping, known as "Zhang Lili", who now looks half-haired and is still active in the front line of broadcasting.

"I am also very happy to accept an interview from the other side of the ocean." Anthony showed a melon-style charming smile to the camera.

"Melo is very polite. Yao Ming is here today. I don't have much time. I'll just ask you a few questions." Zhang Weiping looked at Yao Ming, then at Anthony and said.

Yao Ming nodded, Anthony also smiled.

"Then the first question, I want to ask are you satisfied with your performance in the first half?"

Zhang Weiping said while taking out a technical statistics sheet, looked at it and said to Anthony: "Melo first, scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half. The statistics are very comprehensive. Melo, what do you think of your first half?" performance? How would you rate yourself out of 10?"

Score?When Anthony heard the familiar bridge end, he suddenly felt a warm feeling. After all, the soul of the Chinese people still flows in his bones.

"Six points. I feel that there is still a lot of room for improvement in my aggressiveness. You can see that Yao's team is still ahead of us~" Anthony looked at Yao Ming and said.

"Haha, Melo is being humble. How about Yao Ming, you scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the first half, very comprehensive statistics. Are you satisfied with your performance?" Zhang Weiping took the microphone and asked Yao Ming.

Yao Ming showed a standard Chinese face with a "囧" smile, and said: "I also have 6 points. Now the two sides can be said to be evenly matched. In the second half, we have to work hard to be worthy of the fans in front of the TV~"

"Haha, you two are very humble, so whose team do you think will win the game?" Zhang Weiping continued to ask.

When Yao Ming and Anthony heard the question, they motioned for the other to speak first at almost the same time. They both smiled knowingly at each other, but neither of them spoke first.

"Let's talk about Melo first." Zhang Weiping threw the question to Anthony first.

"I think both teams have the hope of winning. After all, the game is only halfway through, and anything can happen." Anthony said tactfully.

"I have the same idea as Melo, but as a member of the Rockets, I still have to work hard to get a good start to the game~" Yao Ming said.

"Well, I think the match between the two sides in the second half will be very exciting. Then, the last question, Melo, I heard that you said you like China at the draft conference. Where did you learn about China?" Zhang Weiping Put the microphone back in front of Anthony.

"This..." Anthony looked up at Yang Yi, who was also looking at him with piercing eyes at this time, and he continued, "Of course it is online media, there are many introductions about China, it is a very beautiful place, If I have a chance, I will definitely travel to China.”

"At that time, I can be your tour guide." Yao Ming said suddenly.

"I don't dare to invite you as a tour guide. A large group of your fans will come out in one place. I guess this tour will not be able to come on in a month or so." Anthony said jokingly.

"Haha~" Yao Ming laughed loudly when he heard Anthony's humorous words, showing a big classic "囧" smile.

A few people looked at each other and suddenly laughed...

After being interviewed by the Chinese media, Anthony returned to the locker room and saw that the head coach and Leonard were not there. After asking, he found out that they had gone out to discuss something. Anthony didn't care much, and sat down with Miller. Nene and they were joking.

Soon, Bzdelik came back, and Leonard, who was following behind him, had a faint excitement on his face, and he didn't know what he had done.

Looking at that expression, Anthony even wondered if they did that kind of thing...

After Bzdelik came back, he analyzed the team's performance in the first half, discussed for a while and finally came to the part of defending Yao Ming. Apart from emphasizing that other players keep an eye on the defender, he seemed to be unable to find any way to deal with it.

Anthony sat there, also thinking about how to deal with Yao Ming, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.

Soon, the time for the halftime break came, and the players from both sides began to compete in the second half after a 10-minute break.

Still the Nuggets went first, Miller and Anthony set a pick-and-roll, knocked back to Anthony, Anthony used the quick first step to break through Jackson's defense, and when he went inside, he encountered Cato's supplementary defense. He saw The chance was not good, a ground shot sent the ball to Nene, when Nene was about to dunk, he was blocked by Yao Ming, the ball was shot flying, but Yao Ming also hit Nene's hand, the referee whistled, and Nene Two free throws.

Anthony couldn't help shaking his head when he saw that Nene didn't dunk the ball in. Yao Ming is as skinny as a bamboo pole, but he is tall and long-armed, and his natural defensive advantage is just there.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something he hadn't noticed all along, the referee's gesture.

The referee indicated that the Rockets fouled for the first time in this section, and Yao Ming made his third foul.

Yao Ming three times?Anthony stood at the free throw line and waited for Nene to make a free throw. He was stunned for a while, and then he thought about it. In the first half, he was fouled by Nene, and then fouled by Boykins. This was really the third foul.

opportunity!

An idea flashed in Anthony's head, and he finally found a way to beat Yao Ming. As long as Yao Ming fouled again, he would not need to fight this quarter.

With an idea, Anthony suddenly showed a knowing smile.

Seeing Anthony's weird smile and goosebumps all over the ground with Jackson who was stuck in his position, it was just two free throws. As for being so happy, and it wasn't him who made the penalty...

Nene made one of two free throws, and the backcourt rebound was captured by Yao Ming. The Nuggets retreated very quickly and did not give the Rockets a chance to counterattack quickly.

The Rockets failed to make a fast break and immediately turned to attack. Yao Ming still fell to the free throw line to support. Mobley and Jackson helped Francis make two consecutive pick-and-rolls. After attracting the Nuggets' defensive attention, Jackson caught a The opportunity to shoot outside the three-point line, Yao Ming's pass arrived on time.

Jackson, who owns more than 40%, catches the ball without hesitation, and the ball falls steadily into the net bag.

Yao Ming's coping ability is still exerting his lethal lethality.

The Nuggets failed to defend and turned to the offensive end. Anthony and Camby made a few pick-and-rolls without the ball, and then asked Miller for the ball after switching to misplaced defense.

Yao Ming was defending Anthony. These two people who were sitting on both sides of Zhang Weiping and laughing together just now were facing each other for the first time on the court.

Anthony showed a melon-like smile at Yao Ming, and then launched an attack.

Quickly dribbled the ball with a cross step, shaking it left and right. Anthony used his speed to open up the shooting space, but seeing that Yao Ming didn't make a save, he didn't choose to shoot.

From this angle, as long as Yao Ming reaches out, it must be a foul.

But maybe Yao Ming also realized that his fouls were up, he didn't reach out, but just squeezed Anthony with his body.

Anthony finally hit the board to score, but did not cause Yao Ming's foul.

It seems that Yao Ming is not stupid...

Anthony thought as he retreated.

In the next round, Yao Ming and Cato changed their defenders. Anthony tried to find Yao Ming again and found that Yao Ming was not so easy to find. Law made Yao Ming's second foul.

At 55:60, the Nuggets fell behind by another 5 points.

Anthony felt a little impatient in his heart. It is really not easy for the Nuggets to regain their momentum if this continues.

At this moment, Leonard found a chance to make a three-pointer.

The moment Anthony saw Leonard's shot, his hands seemed to tremble. He was still near the free throw line, seized this opportunity, and suddenly ran towards the basket.

With a sound of "Boom", the ball hit the basket and then bounced back with a stronger force. After the ball bounced, it fell to Yao Ming's position and was about to be caught by him.

At this moment, a blue figure suddenly flew up from the crowd, the swift figure seemed to be a roc descending from the sky with its wings spread.

Yao Ming only felt a shadow covering his back, his hand was still stretched in the air, and then.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Anthony pressed the ball on Yao Ming's head with both hands and dunked it vigorously into the basket.

Yao Ming's skinny body like a bamboo pole was directly pushed forward and almost fell down, and unfortunately became the background wall for this supplementary buckle.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and Yao Ming blocked the foul!
Anthony jumped down from the basket, and he was a little emotional when he successfully made the dunk, but when he saw the referee calling Yao Ming for a foul, he couldn't help but roared excitedly.

"My God, Melo actually completed the dunk on Yao Ming's head, perfect bounce and anticipation, you must know that Yao Ming is 2.26m high, that is really a high altitude." Varel saw Melo The performance couldn't help but marvel.

"This shot is really good, and Yao Ming didn't seem to expect it." Drexler was also conquered by Anthony's performance.

This ball is very beautiful, but its significance is not as simple as being beautiful. Van Gundy's gloomy face has already explained everything. Yao Ming has fouled four times and he has to be substituted.

Without Yao Ming, the Nuggets faced the Rockets' offense and defense very aggressively, and the Nuggets' offense was still playing steadily under Anthony's combing. The situation on the scene was reversed instantly because of Yao Ming's end. With a net victory of 10 points in the quarter, they entered the final contest with a 9-point difference.

The players of the Nuggets were all excited, but only Leonard, the team's main guard who had made 3 three-pointers and scored 9 points in this game, his eyes were flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking.
