The game continued, the Rockets returned, obviously enhancing Yang Ming’s high-pressure defense with the Knicks, as long as he held the ball into the inside, it was inevitable that all three would be wrapped up, all cutting off his connection with his teammates.

After sending two mistakes in a row, Yang Mingxue became smart and suddenly began to strengthen his personal attack.

With four minutes left in the third quarter, he shot straight from outside the three-point line and caught Drexler off guard.

“Ugh!”

On the Rockets’ end, after Olajuwon forced Ewing to win, Starks came back and passed the ball to Yang Ming, who received the ball immediately, without even pausing, straight into the basket, facing Olajuwon for a layup.

With five points in a row, Yang Ming’s footsteps did not stop there, but became more active.

In the next round, Yang Ming shot again with three points, with great force and deflected out of the basket. He didn’t give up either, rushed inside, took the frontcourt rebound that Oakley snatched, pulled it up and shot.

“Ugh!”

Seven points in a row.

His successive goals stunned the Rockets and began to defend his offense.

But at this time, Yang Ming passed the ball again.

A burst into the basket, and when both Olajuwon and Barkley closed the goal, he gave it to Ewing, who took the hit and hit the basket.

Another breakthrough followed, again given to Ewing, who took it and faced Olajuwon, who returned from defense, and hit a jumper.

Seeing that the third quarter was about to end, the Rockets’ Big Three accompanied Yang Ming to almost finish this quarter, not only failed to limit his connection with his teammates, but the score opened wider.

How else to prevent this?

After this kid increases the pass, he can attack by himself, and he can convert the ball into assists, which is simply exhausting and defenseless.

The difference fell 30 minutes away.

After the third quarter, the Rockets’ Big Three, who had been on the bench for a few minutes, were stunned to find that the next game was completely free of them. Their rotation, scored by John Wallace and Chris Childs, went completely into garbage time.

Tom Janovic simply put the Big Three on the bench so that they could rest enough to prepare for the next game.

Their next game on the road is against the Eastern Conference powerhouse Pistons, whose record is 33-12, third in the East and two more than the Miami Heat.

Houston failed to leave the Pistons and remained with Grant Hill in the team’s forward pairing, playing his best season since Thomas and Dumas retired.

For the pistons, the rocket does not dare to take it lightly.

The Rockets’ Big Three, very depressed, watched the team get bigger and bigger, and finally accepted a fiasco. What’s more uncomfortable is that they couldn’t prevent Yang Ming tonight, allowing the latter to score 30 points and 17 assists, and get 15+ assists for the first time in his career.

The score is not high, but why does 30+17 look so dazzling?

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Rockets by 135-90 and 45 points, giving the opponent a fifteenth loss.

The Rockets, the first place in the West, were pulled down, with 30-15, ranking fourth in the West, two wins behind the recent Utah Jazz and Lakers, and the same record as the SuperSonics, who also just lost.

However, according to the relationship between victory and loss, they fell to fourth.

These two seasons of Supersonics have almost become their nemesis.

In this game, Yang Ming did not score high, shooting 11 of 18, 4 of 7 from three-point range, hitting 4 free throws, scoring 30 points, 5 rebounds, 17 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, as well as 7 turnovers.

His mistakes also set a new career high.

However, he handed out 17 assists in the third quarter, which also set the record for the youngest assist in the league’s history in three quarters.

Yang Ming’s assist was cool, and his teammates scored more heartily.

Aunt and others, under his threading of the needle, played super high efficiency tonight.

Auntie shot 9 of 14 and scored 20 points!

Oakley didn’t make many shots, only 10 times, but hit seven goals and scored 16 points.

Starks had a good pick tonight and scored a new season-high 15 points.

Coupled with Ewing’s 18 points, the Knicks starting lineup contributed 99 points.

However, tonight, Ewing, winning and losing, he let Olajuwon shoot 10-of-17 from his head for 28 points and 14 rebounds.

After winning this game, they also ushered in a 23-game winning streak.

The 23-game winning streak is also the second-longest winning streak in league history, just ten games away from the 33-game winning streak set by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 71/72 season. They also surpassed the original Milwaukee Bucks’ 20-game winning streak in the 70/71 season.

Terrifying!

Then, they flew back to New York to face the San Antonio Spurs, who finished bottom in the West.

The Spurs are getting more and more frustrated, winning only one of their last ten games. So far, only 11 wins, but 33 losses.

Facing the heartless Spurs, the Knicks played extremely easily throughout the whole process, clocking out of work in the third quarter.

After the last game in the organizational position, Yang Ming once again gave out 13 assists, scored 25 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and once again got a triple-double.

After the game, Popovich praised Yang Ming and the Knicks again, and did not say a word about his endless swing to win Duncan.

Of course, they didn’t dare to mention that Stern was staring at them at this time, and once he heard their inner thoughts, he would send them a huge fine.

At 129:94, the Knicks won another big game.

While winning 24 straight games, he also improved his record to 46-2, far ahead of other teams and continuing to dominate the league.

The Knicks are 46-2, leaving the second-place defending champion Bulls in the East, who are currently 41-7 and five wins behind.

However, such a record has also lost their title as the defending champion, and it is still very strong.

Third Detroit Pistons in the East, 34-12;

Fourth in the East is the Miami Heat, 36-14;

fifth Atlanta Hawks in the East, 30-16;

6th Orlando Magic in the East, 24-20;

7th Charlotte Hornets in the East, 26-22;

8th Cleveland Cavaliers in the East, 25-22;

That’s all for the top eight in the Eastern Conference playoffs after halftime. And the Celtics deserve to be the team to compete with the Spurs, at this time the record is very stable, no one can surpass, 11-35, and the Spurs for a while.

The Western Rankings are currently as follows:

First, the Utah Jazz are 33-14;

Second, the Los Angeles Lakers are 33-14

Third, the Seattle SuperSonics are 31-15;

After losing to the Knicks, the Rockets actually lost again in Detroit and are now fourth in the West with 30-16, completely missing the strength of the first 30 games of the season. The further back in the schedule, the more fatigued the Big Three becomes, and the results fluctuate greatly.

fifth in the West, Portland Trail Blazers, 25-22;

6th in the West, Minnesota Timberwolves, 22-25;

7th in the West, Los Angeles Clippers, 20-25;

8th in the West, Sacramento Kings, 22-28;

At the bottom is the Spurs, not to mention the record.

This is the ranking after the Western Conference half, in short, some continue to be strong, some have begun to fall behind, and some are struggling to stabilize the playoff rankings.

At this time, the league ushered in its annual All-Star Weekend.

(Chapter three is coming.) It’s really late, it’s late! )
