Chapter 17 Against the Rockets

Popovich waved Yang Ke and Leonard to his side.

"Yang, you're playing point guard in this game. Let me see how you've been practicing during this period of time. Adaptation is the main thing. If you can't sort out the offensive rhythm, give the ball to Ginobili."

"Leonard, Martin is a player with rich offensive means. I don't expect you to be able to defend him, but I hope you can show your strengths."

Yang Ke and Leonard nodded when they heard the words, then walked to the technical table silently, told the staff that they wanted to change players, then took off their coats and waited for the timing of the dead ball.

The schedule for this preseason game was very sudden, so all TV stations in Asia did not buy the rights to broadcast the game, and none of the TV stations broadcast the game live, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans.

They were sitting in front of the computer, their eyes fixed on the webcast page. When they saw Yang Ke standing in front of the technical stage and preparing to play, all the Asian fans were very excited and communicated in the live broadcast room or on the forum.

"Yang Ke, it's time to play!"

"Playing so early, it seems that Popovich attaches great importance to Yang Ke!"

"Yang Ke will definitely be able to play this game for a long time!"

"Wait, did I read it wrong? An Asian player also came to the Rockets' bench!"

"Who is that Asian player in the Rockets? Why have you never heard of it?"

Yang Ke was leaning in front of the technical stage, watching the game with relish, when suddenly the fans' voices of surprise and discussion could be heard, and it was obvious that many cameras were turned here.

He and Leonard have been standing here for half a minute, which means at least there is an external reason, Yang Ke turned his head and looked in the direction of the Rockets bench.I saw the Asian player taking off his coat and walking slowly.

Yang Ke knew the reason for the camera turning in an instant. Two Asian players were going to play at the same time. There were enough topics and it was hard to see.As for the fans' surprise and discussion, it may be because they didn't know there was an Asian player in the Rockets.

"Hi, I'm Yang Ke."

Yang Ke stared at the Asian player in front of him, even if he was very close, he recognized who he was, but because of his skin color, he had a natural sense of familiarity with him.After he walked in, he greeted us in English with a very polite smile.

Jeremy Lin smiled at Yang Ke, stopped beside the center line, looked at Yang Ke curiously, and said at the same time: "Jeremy Lin, Chinese-American."

The two didn't communicate much, because Martin caused Jefferson's foul during an attack, in other words, it was time for them to play.

Yang Ke walked onto the court and clapped hands with Ford who was replaced, and then waited for Martin to finish the free throw. At the same time, he found that Jeremy Lin replaced Kyle Lowry, which means that the two of them are on top.

"Two Asian defenders!"

"Oh my God, I'm not dazzled! I actually saw two Asian guards match up in the NBA!"

"This is a real derby!"

Seeing Yang Ke and Jeremy Lin standing together, all the fans on the Internet were excited.

Martin made two free throws steadily, then Yang Ke took the ball from Blair, and when he was about to advance, he found Jeremy Lin who was one step away.

Is this trick again?

Jeremy Lin's posture made Yang Ke think of the special trial training before, and of Parker's pressure on him.The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was no longer Wuxia Amon.

Patting the ball rhythmically with his left hand, Yang Ke raised his right hand to gesture to Ginobili at the side, telling him that he could handle it. He kept his eyes on Jeremy Lin and moved his feet forward slowly.

Ginobili, who was about to help advance with the ball, raised his eyebrows when he saw Yang Ke's gesture, but he didn't speak. Instead, he turned and ran towards the frontcourt. He must always trust his teammates on the court.

Jeremy Lin slowly retreated following Yang Ke's advance, his eyes were fixed on Yang Ke who was in possession of the ball, his brows were furrowed, and he hesitated to make a move.

Finally, at the moment when the basketball was exposed, Jeremy Lin couldn't help it. He bent down and reached out quickly, trying to cut the ball.

Sure enough!
Seeing Jeremy Lin's actions, Yang Ke's eyes flashed brightly. He just deliberately moved the fingertips touching the basketball back a little, so that the basketball was exposed for a longer time.But all of this is under his control, don't you see that Yang Ke's arms and center of gravity are very low.

Jeremy Lin stretched out his right hand, and Yang Ke's shaking speed of his arms suddenly accelerated. Before Jeremy Lin touched the ball, the basketball had already been lightly patted by his right hand, and it easily passed through his crotch, and then came to the left .

Jeremy Lin's steals are always a gamble. Once he fails to cut the basketball, he has completely lost his defensive position by bending over and reaching out.

Steadily controlling the basketball with his left hand, Yang Ke cooperated to deflect his body to his left, and then accelerated and rushed past Jeremy Lin's right.

When Jeremy Lin retracted his body, turned around and looked back, Yang Ke had already rushed into the three-point line with the ball.

As soon as Yang Ke rushed into the three-point line, Budinger had already actively defended him and glanced at him. Since Budinger made up the defense, it meant that Ginobili was empty.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a fast-moving black jersey, number 10!
The corners of Yang Ke's mouth raised slightly, and he rushed forward without slowing down. When he was about to stop Budinger and bumped into his arms, he suddenly slammed on the brakes.

The ankle suffered a huge impact, and Yang Ke's speed slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he didn't stop completely, relying on the inertia of speed.Yang Ke slapped his right arm with his right hand, hitting the ground with one, and the basketball flew past Budinger's crotch.

At the same time, a fast-moving left hand appeared on the basketball line, grabbed the basketball, and then quickly went to the basket.When Scola and Hill reacted, they jumped high and sent their right hands to the basket easily!

Then the body fell down, and people saw the figure clearly, Manu Ginobili!This is the seamless cooperation between Yang Ke and Manu Ginobili, without any rehearsal, pure golf quotient!

Just when Ginobili was about to reach out his hand to Yang Ke to signal that it was a good shot, the basketball swayed round and round on the basket, and finally fell down!
down!

It fell and fell into the hands of Scola who was stuck in his seat!
　First of all, Jeremy Lin was waived by the Warriors and the Rockets in December 2011. In the preseason game between the Rockets and the Spurs that season, Jeremy Lin was with the Rockets and played for 12 minutes.

　　On December 2011, 12, he signed with the Knicks, and then broke out in the Knicks.
