Six Hundred and Forty-Eight. Yao Ming's Great Changes

"Dear audience, this is Yao Ming's home in Dallas. Last night, the little bully brought his girlfriend and Brother Yu to Yao Ming's home. Our national team's three giants spent the American New Year together..."

Zhang Weiping and the team of the court TV filmed in the courtyard of Yao Ming's villa.

Since Yi Jianlian changed his hairstyle, he has many nicknames in China, and the nickname Yi Mu Hua Lian has received the most widespread support.

But I don't know what happened these days. Many fans think that the more rustic the nickname, the more interesting it is. Just like Sun Ce gave Griffin the nickname of Tyrannosaurus Rex, the most popular nicknames in China gradually became Short Hands and Silly Fen. Yi Mu Hua Lian became Hua Lian after being called for a while, and it became Brother Yu after being called for a while.

Yi Jianlian was very annoyed by this new nickname, but he felt much more comfortable when he saw the nicknames of Yao Ming and Sun Ce. The nickname of the combination of Yao Ming + Sun Ce is called the Giant Ba Combination, which has been played out in China.

Yesterday, Sun Ce and others visited Yi Jianlian's home and stayed overnight. This was a pre-arranged arrangement. Last night, they ate hot pot together for Christmas, and the TV station also came to record a Christmas war promotion.

As for whether eating hot pot on Christmas in the United States will make people feel that the atmosphere is not right... This is filmed for domestic fans. Domestic fans just need to feel harmonious, and they don't care about anything else.

Yesterday was still private time, and they only set aside a few minutes to shoot the pre-game promotional video. Today is different. They officially entered the working state.

Sun Ce and others started to accept interviews in the morning. Ye Li and Wang Keying also showed up. Ye Li also appeared with her daughter who won the World Championship gold medal.

There are a total of four Christmas wars this year, namely Celtics vs. Magic, Grizzlies vs. Mavericks, Thunder vs. Bulls, Lakers vs. Heat.

Celtics vs. Magic, these two teams have met in the playoffs in the past two years, and each has won a series. It is the first Christmas war that starts at 3 am Beijing time, and it has received considerable attention in the United States.

Thunder vs. Bulls, the two strongest players of the new generation of American players. The original plan of the NBA in the new season was to create the gimmick of Durant vs. Rose to make up for the negative impact of James' transfer, but Sun Ce played so well, and Durant really didn't have the temperament of a star. The game started at 5:30 am Beijing time.

Durant is really special. Other players with ordinary looks and temperaments or even ugly looks will have a different aura once they play.

And Durant, as always.

So the league took the opportunity to promote Sun Ce vs. Rose,

and the response was good.

However, even if Durant vs. Rose is not as popular as Sun Ce vs. Rose in the United States, the game between the Bulls and the Magic is more popular in the United States than the game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks.

Lakers vs. Heat, this is the finale. Even without the gimmick of 23VS24, Kobe vs. James is always the most popular topic. It starts at 7:30 pm in Los Angeles time and 10:30 am in China.

The game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks will start at 6:00 p.m. Central Time in the United States, which is 8:00 a.m. in China.

In the United States, the game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks is the least watched game, but this does not prevent it from being the most important game for domestic TV stations and websites, and the most watched game by domestic fans.

Not only the two of them, when the two arrived at the American Airlines Center in Dallas at nearly 9 o'clock, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming separated, and Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian came to the visiting team's training ground. All the players on the Grizzlies side were present, and the players on the Mavericks side were also present. The cameras of the court station have already started filming, and the pre-game images of the "China Derby Christmas Battle" will be broadcast at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning in China.

The title alone is very special. The domestic media has created a "China Derby" series, and will create some gimmicks for each match between Sun Ce and Yao Ming.

Seeing Randolph running here early in the morning with a posture of concentrating on shooting practice, Sun Ce was speechless. This guy has rarely trained since he got fat. Recently, he has basically focused on losing weight. Today, he actually came here to show off.

But it’s not bad to want to show your good side.

Although most Americans don’t know what Chinese people like or dislike at all, normal people know that as a basketball player, it is enough to show that you train hard and play hard to make the fans like you. Normal people will make normal choices, and the Grizzlies players are the same.

In the past, there have been many experiences of Chinese derby. In addition to the players’ own little thoughts, such as Randolph showing his "hard work"; such as Jordan and Yi Jianlian showing off their looks, the former is active, and the latter is resigned to fate; such as Battier showing a few words of Chinese... When the coaching team finished the tactical discussion, they called the players to the conference room for a tactical meeting. Everyone was engaged in the state of preparing for the evening game. They were no longer as nervous as the first time. There were hundreds of millions of people watching their games, and they were used to it even if there were cameras filming.

During the tactical meeting, when offensive assistant coach David Fizdale analyzed the opponent's defense and defensive assistant coach Dave Joerger analyzed the opponent's offense, Sun Ce felt that tonight's game would be very troublesome.

One of the analyses made Sun Ce feel like he had seen a ghost!

The Grizzlies have had a lot of troubles recently, such as state and physical adjustment, and have not paid much attention to other teams. When I read the scout report, I saw that the Mavericks ranked fifth with 18 wins and 9 losses, which was better than the fourth-placed Trail Blazers' record of 16 wins and 10 losses. It was normal. Sun Ce felt that it was normal for the Mavericks to be strong this season.

But through the analysis of the two assistants and the scout report, we know how good the Mavericks are recently.

It has nothing to do with Nowitzki. Nowitzki is still struggling, and because of the addition of Yao Ming, it seems that the running-in is slower than before. He has never partnered with a center of this level, and needs to adapt to each other. Moreover, because the two have a high degree of fit in their playing styles, they are somewhat humble. This is a good thing, but for Coach Carlisle, who needs a clear first end point, it is very troublesome because the degree is not easy to grasp.

More importantly, the unclear roles between the two make the running-in problem between the outside players and the two inside players even greater.

To win the championship and form a super lineup, it is more necessary to grasp the details.

But recently, Coach Carlisle made an adjustment for the mid-season, making Yao Ming, who is more dominant in his position, the team's first main attack point in the mid-season!

As far as people's current views are concerned, Yao Ming's dominance at the center position is stronger than Nowitzki's dominance at the power forward position.

After entering December, the Mavericks' play style has become much clearer. Nowitzki uses his shooting ability and comprehensive scoring skills to serve his teammates, contain the defense, and drive his teammates' offense; Kidd controls the overall situation and organizes the offense with Nowitzki as the containment point; Yao Ming, as the first scorer of the lineup, penetrates the opponent in limited playing time.

Yao Ming only plays for less than 24 minutes in a game. When Yao Ming is resting, Nowitzki and Jason Terry's backcourt double guns will play in the rotation stage.

This adjustment has worked wonders!

First of all, Yao Ming's physical strength was used to the best of his ability, helping Nowitzki get some rest time for a long time. After all, Nowitzki is older than Yao Ming, and Coach Carlisle also wants Nowitzki to play in the regular season and get along well.

And Yao Ming, because he became the clear first offensive end point, and the team coach and personnel configuration were much stronger than when he was in Houston, Yao Ming played the best efficiency of his career!

In the last 11 games, Yao Ming averaged 18 points, 7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 blocks in 23 minutes of playing time, helping the Mavericks achieve an 8-3 record!

Coach Carlisle's use of Yao Ming is much stronger than in Houston! Really showing Yao Ming's dominance.

This performance is simply amazing, and the efficiency is not inferior to Duncan of the Spurs. Moreover, because Yao Ming performed well in the main confrontation stage, Nowitzki reduced the physical consumption of the main confrontation stage, and played better in the rotation stage!

Sun Ce could never have imagined that this would be the case! This change is too big!
