After the first half, the Rockets maintained an absolute lead with 60:45. Yao Ming scored the team's highest 14 points and 7 rebounds. Li Yuntian scored 10 points for 5 of 7 shots. In just over one quarter, he tied the score of the last game.

What made Li Yuntian feel most comfortable was that Wells, who had high hopes for Rockets fans before and had always been extremely hostile to him, scored no point in the second quarter, and made all four shots. If they weren't teammates, Francis would have ridiculed Wells.

The player's outstanding performance made Adelman, who was originally a good temper, have a better temper. In the locker room, he changed the lineup and simply arranged the tactics of the third quarter, but never spoke again, just watched the players play with a smile.

Wells sat in front of his wardrobe with a dark face. It was not surprising that he was replaced by Arsenal. Argentine power forward Scola will become the main insider in the second half. His best friend James also had a dark face. So far this season, except for playing in the preseason for a few minutes, he has no chance to perform in the entire regular season, so he is almost sitting on the bench.

Francis joked with Landry and Brooks: "Rookie, how does it feel to guard the water dispenser? I think that must be great. You can drink water at will. When you are thirsty, you can drink a glass, not thirsty, or have a glass, because that is your territory, and you can make the decision on your territory..."

Hyde, Battier and Hayes laughed, while Landry and Brooks were very embarrassed. They had never played in the regular season and had no status in the team. It was natural for the old bird to take them to joke.

Li Yuntian seized the time to read Adelman's tactical manual. He had very few joint training with the Rockets and could not fight the main tactics. He originally had no right to play, but Yao Ming said good things for him in the first game, and Adelman saw his hard training and gave him an impression, so he had the chance to play. Otherwise, like James, he would have to sit on the bench and be terminated and kicked out of the NBA.

Hearing Francis' words, Li Yuntian looked up and saw Landry and Brooks' uncomfortable expressions made him feel empathetic, so he hugged Francis and said, "Don't do this, Boss Fur, do you want to bully us rookies?"

Francis nodded carelessly and said, "Yes, Li, you guessed it, I want to bully you." "Oh, then you are miserable. I bet that you will not drink a drop of water in the Toyota Center because our rookie group blocked you. You must know that the water dispenser is the three of us guarded." Li Yuntian clamped his arms and pulled Boss Fur on the bench.

Seeing that Li Yuntian took the initiative to stand up and chose to stand with them, Landry and Brooks looked at him gratefully. Although Li Yuntian got a seven-day unsecured contract, there was no doubt that with his outstanding performance in these two games, he became popular and would definitely be able to continue to stay in the team.

Wells looked at the few people coldly and suddenly said, "Li, you have such great power. I think we old guys will have to ask you for water if you want to drink water in the future, right? But to be honest, I haven't seen when you have sat next to the water dispenser."

Although he was regarded as a stick, few players who could enter the NBA were real idiots. Wells's words not only satirized Li Yuntian, but also provoked his relationship with Brooks and Landry.

Li Yuntian ignored the sarcastic Wells, but Yao Ming smiled and said, "Being like this, Bonqi, everyone knows that Li is joking with Steve."

Seeing that the team's core Yao Ming had made a comeback, Wells looked gloomy and didn't say anything anymore, obviously very dissatisfied: Are you talking now? Why can't you hear your voice when Francis and Li Yuntian join forces on the court and don't pass the ball to me?

When the halftime was about to end, Adelman opened the locker room to let the players enter. When Li Yuntian walked out the door, the old coach pulled him and said, "Hi, Li, wait a moment."

Li Yuntian stopped and looked at Adelman in surprise. The old coach asked, "What are you best at?"

"Well, the mid-range shots from both wings, and the quick shots in the free throw area after receiving the ball." Li Yuntian said without hesitation, "If the opponent's quality is average, my breakthrough is also very lethal."

In the past, Li Yuntian's sharp-cut breakthroughs in the CBA and NBDL caused a headache for his opponents. His skills and basic skills were very outstanding. Unfortunately, when he came to the NBA, his opponents' physical fitness was too outstanding. Even if he successfully broke through, he would be caught up after two steps.

Adelman nodded and said thoughtfully: "Then go to the position you like. I will remind Raff and Steve to help you more."

Li Yuntian hurriedly thanked him, and Adelman finally said: "This is what you deserve. To be honest, Li, I have never seen a player as hard as you. Maybe that old guy Fran is right, you will be a surprise for the team this season, and, don't worry about your contract, I will go to Manager Morey to discuss this matter."

After saying that, Adelman pushed Li Yuntian and walked out of the player channel with him. Seeing this scene, the photographer next to him immediately aimed at the two of them. Their sensitive sense of smell found an abnormality. This Chinese small forward who had not been optimistic about since he came to the United States may have found his place in the Rockets.

When the players from both sides returned to the court, McMillan replaced the full set of starters and shouted at Roy and others: "The third quarter is our only chance. You see, the Houstonian has only one big man to rely on, and McDonald's soft egg has left the court. If we can't win, God will never forgive us!"

Roy took the initiative to dribble the ball, and his organizational ability was better than Jack. As he waved his hand and pointed it out a few times, Aldridge and Webster made a skillful cover, and Scola and Li Yuntian's defense were misplaced. Seeing this, Roy quickly threw the ball to Aldridge on the left wing, and ran from the right wing to the inside, attracting Yao Ming to give up double-team Aldridge.

Against Li Yuntian, Aldridge used his outstanding strength to turn around and push the opponent forward, put away the ball and jumped out.

With a crisp sound, Aldridge, who had already jumped, was almost pulled to the ground. The ball he had put on his chest was slapped by Li Yuntian.

Although Li Yuntian performed well in this game, Aldridge still didn't take him seriously. In the eyes of this pride of heaven in 2006, wasn't this kind of opponent allowed him to crush him? He didn't expect that Li Yuntian's playing style was so aggressive, and he was simply two extremes with his compatriot Yao Ming. After being knocked away by him, he rushed up again and reached out and made a ruthless move.

Perhaps because of the home court, the referee did not call the false foul, but followed Li Yuntian to the front court.

Francis responded from the wing, Li Yuntian glanced back and saw Jack and Roy chasing him. He passed the ball to Francis, and he stopped to block Roy.

Jack avoided Li Yuntian and Roy who were entangled together and quickly caught up with Francis. The latter cunningly retreated, Jack hurriedly put it on to prevent him from stopping and jumping. At this moment, Francis rushed forward and shot, and then the two collided directly. The impact was not great, but Francis danced exaggeratedly and leaned back to the ground.

'beep!'

The referee blew the whistle, Jack spread his hands angrily and shouted in vain: "He is a liar, damn it, God knows, I didn't even touch his body hair!"

Francis stood up with a sigh and Li Yuntian asked with concern: "How about it, Boss Fur, can you still stand this confrontation with this old bone? Why don't you come and give you a free throw?"

After hearing this, Francis rolled his eyes and said, "Unless I was hit and killed, you boy don't want to take advantage of me."

After two free throws, the score became 62:45. Macmillan had an old face gloomy, and Aldridge and Macmillan hated Li Yuntian to death.

Roy looked at the score, took a deep breath and dribbled the ball into the Rockets' inside line. Scola and Battier went up to double-team together. Aldridge took the opportunity to pull out the open position. Roy leaned against Battier and broke into Li Qiang two steps, blocked Scola and then passed the ball to Aldridge.

Francis replaced defense and Aldridge took a look and waved the ball to Jack outside the three-point line.

Jack was just now being teased by Francis, and he was holding his breath in his heart. After getting the ball, he jumped up quickly and trembled his hand and scored a three-pointer.

Francis cursed a few words in disappointment. He organized the attack briefly. Seeing that Yao Ming's inside line stuck Pulzebila, he immediately hung the ball in.

Aldridge wanted to come up and double-team again. Li Yuntian pushed Webster away and ran to the middle left wing area where the former was. Seeing this, Aldridge had to give up double-teaming. Yao Ming took the opportunity to jump up sideways, grabbed the ball with his right hand and shook his wrist, waved his arms and drew a circle, and scored two more points with an accurate hook.

After Yao Ming scored, Pulzebila quickly picked up the ball and threw it to Jack, and the Trail Blazers accelerated the attack speed.

Li Yuntian was unprepared. Webster threw away him and entered the penalty area. Roy hung the ball to the ring. The two cooperated tacitly to think of an aerial relay. How could Li Yuntian give his opponent such a chance to perform? He slapped Webster's raised arm without hesitation and tore him off directly.

Webster didn't stand firm when he landed, and staggered to the ground. Li Yuntian's foul angered him: You kid were shooting and fast attacks just now, and you can't help but want to dunk a basket? Damn, you're itchy.

Webster got up and rushed towards Li Yuntian. The latter raised his arms and signaled that there was no movement in his hands, but his cold eyes exposed his thoughts at this moment: If you dare to move on my territory, I will definitely cut you down!
