The Godfather of Basketball

Back from the timeout, the Hornets adjusted their offense.

Pargo and Wells played a pick-and-roll. After the break, Wells had a wide open and he didn't make a pass. He directly chose an emergency stop jumper.

But at the moment of the shot, Sun Yue rushed over from behind him, and sent out another big hot pot.

The players on the Rockets' bench couldn't stand anymore, rushed to the sidelines and threw the towels up.

This is already the third consecutive block sent by Sun Yue!

In the other half, Scott cursed angrily on the sidelines.

Pargo missed the pass, which gave Sun Yue the chance to block.

After the ball was blocked, Scola got it, and the Rockets pushed back.

Sun Yue hit a lob in the fast break, and Gasol, who came from behind, caught the ball and pressed Armstrong to hit the ball into the basket.

The Rockets played an 8-2 offensive climax in the past.

Sun Yue sent 6 points, 3 risks and 1 assist in this wave of attacks, and his performance was so good that it exploded.

At this time, Xibodou turned his head to look at Tang Tian, ​​with a trace of adoration unconsciously in his eyes.

Did Tang Tian predict that Sun Yue would explode today?

This wave of climax also boosted the morale of the Rockets. Butler's layup was directly interfered by Gasol, and the rebound was taken by Novak.

The Rockets' offense, Sun Yue took the ball to the frontcourt.

At this time, the Hornets no longer dared to let him go, and Pargo defended Sun Yue tightly.

But the Hornets did this, and Gasol's advantage at the basket came out again.

Sun Yue gave the ball directly, and Gasol pressed Armstrong and made another hook shot.

The Rockets completely stole the momentum on the field.

Scott saw the momentum was wrong and substituted West.

Tang Tian also replaced McGrady at this time.

After West came up, he chiseled Scola in the low post and finally broke the scoring drought for the Hornets.

Looking back, the Rockets played a pick-and-roll, McGrady broke through with the ball to attract double-teams, and then gave the ball to Sun Yue who was outside the three-point line on the other side.

Pago turned back to defend, and flew directly over.

Sun Yue faked a shot, tricked Pago into jumping up, and rushed directly to the basket.

The Hornets' defensive center of gravity was pinned down by McGrady, and the basket was very empty at this time.

After Gasol saw Sun Yue rushing up, he directly stuck Armstrong behind him.

Sun Yue rushed to the basket and was unguarded, and it was a one-handed gliding dunk.

The Rockets' bench boiled again.

They immediately thought of Sun Yue's 360-degree dunk when he played against the Warriors.

This is to seize the opportunity is to show ah!

Tang Tian also nodded in satisfaction at this time.

Sure enough, his investment in Sun Yue was worthwhile. With his shooting ability, Sun Yue's performance was even better than he expected.

Scott couldn't sit still at this moment.

Pago's strength lies in scoring, and his organization and defense are average. At first, he thought that the opponent was Sun Yue, who had no offensive ability.

He directly replaced all the main players on the field in advance.

Seeing that the main players of the Hornets had gone to the technical stage, Tang Tian also called out the main players.

Sun Yue performed well during this period and continued to stay on the court.

Pargo's breakthrough caused Pietrus' blocking foul, the game entered dead time, and a large number of substitutions were made on the sidelines.

The main force of the Hornets came up, Paul and West played a pick-and-roll, and gave the latter a mid-range hit.

Compared with the previous pick-and-rolls of Pago and Wells, the quality of this is obviously higher.

The Rockets' offense, Sun Yue gave the ball to Yao Ming, Yao Ming circled to support, and the other Rockets players continued to make air cuts.

Sun Yue ran beyond the three-point line at this time, and Yao Ming passed the ball.

Sun Yue caught the ball and was quickly followed by Paul, but at this moment, he noticed Yao Ming walking towards the basket and directly lobbing the ball with both hands.

The ball hangs a bit low. Yao Ming originally wanted to hit the ball, but in the end he had no choice but to dunk the ball in the air.

"boom!"

By accident, it turned out to be a lob.

Yao Ming was also a little excited when the ball was dunked in. He pointed at Sun Yue, and Sun Yue also pointed at Yao Ming with a smile.

The domestic fans who watched the game immediately exploded.

This is a connection from Chinese players in the NBA!

It's so cool!

Paul couldn't stand Sun Yue's outstanding performance. After he signaled his teammates to pull away, he fouled Sun Yue twice in a row.

Paul's ability is much better than that of Sun Yue, Tang Tian replaced Billups at this time.

At the end of the court, Tang Tian patted Sun Yue on the shoulder to encourage him, and the Rockets players also gave him high fives one by one.

Sun Yue's performance during this time has already completed the task excellently.

The main players of the two teams clashed, and they were still playing inextricably, but the point difference that the Rockets opened up during the time when they came off the bench allowed them to always take the initiative on the court.

After halftime, the Rockets led the Hornets 53 to 45.

The two sides returned from a half-time break, and the rhythm of the game was similar to that of the first half.

The main force of the Hornets is still playing tough, and the point difference between the two teams has basically not changed much.

At the bench stage, Scott replaced Pargo with veteran Bobby Jackson, but this did not solve the fundamental problem.

After Sun Yue had a shot, the Hornets did not dare to shrink their defense, and Sun Yue's excellent passing vision allowed Sun Yue to accurately send the ball to the inside.

After hitting, the Rockets' substitute took the score closer.

Thibodeau looked a little overjoyed at this time.

Most of this season, Barea has been Billups' substitute. Barea's characteristic is scoring, and his organization is limited by his height, but Sun Yue just complements him.

One can score and the other can organize. The Rockets' backup point guard suddenly became deep.

Thinking of Sun Yue's changes over the past half season, he admired Tang Tian even more from the bottom of his heart.

He even wondered if Tang Tian was given a bunch of unwanted players, and the latter would be able to turn waste into treasure.

In the end, relying on the excellent performance of the substitute group, the Rockets defeated the Hornets 109 to 98 in the away game, swept away the haze of the defeat a few days ago, and won the Christmas game.

Players from both teams basically performed normally.

For the Hornets, Paul scored 19 points and 13 assists efficiently, and West also scored a game-high 28 points.

For the Rockets, Yao Ming had 21 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, Tracy McGrady had 26 points and 7 rebounds, and Billups had 13 points and 9 assists.

But in this game, the most surprising and unexpected thing is Sun Yue.

In the whole game, he played 25 minutes, made 5 of 8 shots, contributed 13 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.

Scoring, assists, and blocks all set new career highs, severely breaking the doubt that "the first show is the peak", and ushered in a turning point in his career.
