In his previous life, Li Xiao sympathized with Yao Ming when he was watching football. In fact, with his talent and hard work, he could have risen to a higher level, but due to various reasons, it could not become a reality.
Every year after Yao Ming participates in the NBA, which has a dense competition system, he has to rush back to China in the offseason to participate in the training and competition of the national team. If it is just the World Championships and Olympic Games, the Chinese team without Yao Ming will still have the strength to win the Asian Games. , but for the sake of their own face and to make winning the championship inevitable, the leaders asked Yao Ming to come back to participate. What's more, even a competition like the Stankovic Cup, which is not popular at all, requires Yao Ming to participate. If those leaders No boss of any club would use his players in this way, and Yao Ming has become a face project, a tool used to support the leader's face. If he does not comply with the wishes of these leaders, there is a person like Wang Zhizhi. The living examples are there.
Moreover, Yao Ming's Rockets also have many problems in club operations. The Rockets have always been the best in the league in terms of equipment at the three positions of center, small forward, and shooting guard. If the team's general manager was not so stingy, , if they are willing to pay a little more luxury tax and acquire mid-level power forwards and point guards, the Rockets will not stop in the first round of the playoffs every year.
In the years when Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady were playing together, neither Charlie Ward, Bob Sura nor Mike James was a qualified point guard. When the opponent defended against Yao Ming, they even passed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming is particularly difficult, and the point guard who can best cooperate with Yao Ming is actually Alston, a street ball player who has been bounced around many teams and can make people fall into pieces on defense. This cannot but be said to be the responsibility of the decision-makers. A mistake. As for the power forward position, it is even more exaggerated. Juwan Howard, known as "Uncle Huo", can only contribute a few mid-range shots on the offensive end and cannot provide any help to Yao Ming on the defensive end. And the so-called The sharp offensive Taylor, except for his performance of less than ten points on the offensive end, disappeared throughout the game. Then there was Swift, who had a body but no brain... It wasn't until Landry's appearance that the Rockets The power forward position posed a slight threat to the opponent's lineup, and Yao Ming was always in such an NBA team until the fatigue of going back and forth between the club and the national team made him completely collapse...
During Yao Ming's heyday, no center could defend him one-on-one without assistance. Howard, Chandler, Ben Wallace, and even Duncan who had been replaced by the center... He only had all the skills but failed. Yao Ming can definitely be regarded as a tragic hero when he died before he could survive.
Following the historical footsteps, the match between Serbia and Montenegro against China was supposed to be a three-pointer by Wang Shipeng of the Chinese team that made Serbia and Montenegro hate Athens. However, the rebirth of Milicic triggered a series of butterfly effects. , the victory of the Serbian and Montenegrin team concealed their own lack of strength. All Serbian and Montenegrin players still regard themselves as world champions, but the real reality is that they were beaten back to reality by Argentina in the first game. Next, the Serbian and Montenegrin team The team's cooperation is becoming more and more tacit, and the team's ace core Bodilloga has been completely activated, bursting out of his final peak state, and Milicic's own qualifying has also raised the height of Serbia and Montenegro's inside line to a higher level. Inside offense and defense The ability has also been greatly improved. Such a Serbian and Montenegrin team can even defeat the world's strongest teams such as Argentina and Spain, let alone the Chinese team.
In the second half of the game, in order to cope with the knockout rounds, coach Pesic asked all the main players to take a rest, and sent Kostic, Pavlovich and other substitutes to compete with the Chinese team. Although they were substitutes, the strength of these players was not the same.
Not inferior to the Chinese team, except for Yao Ming, it may be better than the Chinese team in other positions.
Yao Ming took the ball, faced Krstic's defense, dribbled the ball twice, turned around and shot early due to interference, the ball stumbled on the basket and went into the basket. This was Yao Ming's tenth shot in this game.
But if he scores one, Serbia and Montenegro will return one or even two or three, and all his efforts now seem to be just to make the national team's loss less embarrassing.
When Pavlovich faced Wang Shipeng's defense, his huge height advantage prevented him from doing more fancy moves. Instead, he feinted with a shooting motion. Wang Shipeng was not fooled and did not take off, so he made a shooting motion the second time.
But it was not a feint. By the time Wang Shipeng reacted, it was already too late. Pavlovich was fully prepared and made a three-point shooting motion. He jumped up slightly and threw the ball from above his head with the hand holding the ball.
It created a wonderful arc. From Pavlovich's perspective, the ball's path was very straight, hitting the center of the basket impartially.
Yao Ming once again held the ball, and under the double-teaming of two players, he dunked under the basket and caused a foul on Kostic. Kostic had already fouled and left the field, and Pesic could only tell him that he had put on his jacket.
Milicic re-entered the game. When Kostic clapped hands with Milicic at the end of the court, he said: "That big man was too difficult to deal with. We are not at the same level at all. I tried my best..."
With three minutes left in the game, Milicic came on the field. The score at this time had reached 81 to 55. Serbia and Montenegro were leading by a big score. Milicic came on the field as if to make up for the number of people.
Yao Ming made a free throw, and it was Serbia and Montenegro's turn to attack. Milicic reached the free throw line and held the ball. Yao Ming did not dare to follow him. With his speed, if Milicic passed him, it would be a dunk, so
Yao Ming could only guard the basket, hoping that Milicic's mid-range shot was not very accurate.
Milicic has the natural soft touch of a European. He has made two consecutive shots near the free throw line. When he came to the free throw line for the third time, Yao Ming had to follow him. If he didn't come out, Du Feng or Yi Jianlian
Unable to withstand Milicic's attack, Yao Ming dragged his exhausted body to the free throw line to block Milicic's shot. Milicic made a fake shot and directly lowered his center of gravity and broke through to the right. Yao Ming went to the right.
As soon as he moved, Milicic dribbled the ball with his hips, changed direction and broke through to the left. Yao Ming was knocked to the ground.
Milicic rushed inside, faced Du Feng's defense, jumped high, and made a domineering dunk, and the ball went in!
Lying on the floor were two Chinese team players, Yao Ming and Du Feng.
Yao Ming had cramps and had no choice but to be replaced. Just as he was about to go off, Milicic ran over and said to Yao Ming: "You are the best center I have ever encountered. I hope we can become friends."
!”
Yao Ming has a humble personality. When he saw Milicic taking the initiative to show his kindness, he also smiled and said: "Next time when my legs don't cramp, I will take you to climb the Great Wall."
The game ended without any suspense. This game was like other games. Yao Ming tried his best and the Chinese team lost. Milicic in his previous life had no idea about this scene, but after being reborn as an athlete, he knew that this
This feeling is very sad. Yao Ming is an outstanding player, and it is precisely because of his excellence that he has become a tragic hero.
