All-Around Forward Swingman

Now that Ma Lyon's defense is so strong, I have to try to see if he can defend against his post-up singles.

With his back to Mario, Yang Shan pushed towards the inside forcefully. Ma Lyon's size, at first glance, is not a person with particularly strong strength. Compared with Yang Shan who has the strength of O'Neal, he is naturally much worse.

He was squeezed from near the three-point line by Yang Shan to the free throw line. Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Shan's shoulders were dangling, and he turned around and shot a jumper.

With a swipe, 02 Yang Shan made a mid-range shot, adding two more points for the Rockets.

Seeing Yang Shan's goal, the referee next to him nodded involuntarily. You are so strong and proficient in various offensive methods, why did you draw fouls so exaggeratedly just now?

Of course, in terms of the rules, the ball just now was indeed fouled by McMiller. But your method of cheating fouls is really unbearable.

The referee didn't think about it, if it wasn't for the two penalties he blew to control the rhythm, Yang Shan would definitely not use this method to make a foul.

As the rhythm of the two sides slowed down, everyone was fighting positional warfare to ensure the success rate. At this time, James' strength was also reflected.

He doesn't care who is defending in front of him, he just makes a strong breakthrough, breakthrough and breakthrough again, either going inside to cause damage, or passing the ball to his teammates.

On the other hand, Yang Shan also spotted Ma Lyon, pulling him to play singles one after another, just like a training match with Nick Young, taking the trouble to ensure his hit rate.

At this time, James' inaccurate free throws were reflected. Although he got 8 free throw opportunities in the second half of the third quarter, he only hit 5 goals [Yang Shan made 6 goals in 8 shots.

Due to the technical gap between the two sides, the Cavaliers not only did not take the opportunity to continue to chase the score, but the score between the two sides was further widened.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets entered the fourth game with a 108-98 lead of 10 points.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Adelman replaced Yao Ming with O'Neal. Replace Battier with James Posey, Cassell replaces Yang Shan, Nick Young replaces Tracy McGrady, Scola is still on the court, this can be regarded as the Rockets' bench lineup.

The Cavaliers did not make any substitutions, and they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pull back some points as much as possible.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Rockets had the ball. Kassel came to the frontcourt, O'Neill blocked Ilgauskas very actively, and then reached out to Kassel Jiangqiu.

Cassell was also unambiguous, and threw the basketball high to O'Neal. After receiving the ball, O'Neal dribbled, pushed away the thin Ilgauskas, and then dunked with one hand. 110:97738, the Rockets' lead came to 12 points.

After the dunk, O'Neal jumped down excitedly and celebrated with his domineering steps.

The 12-point difference made James a little depressed. He knew that if he wanted to win the championship, he had to win at least one game with the Rockets, otherwise there would be no play at all.

Thinking of this, he is a little envious of Yang Shan. He has so many offensive skills. If he can also play post-ups, then he may have better shooting opportunities.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Olajuwon sitting on the sidelines. It's a pity that Xia Tian is going to participate in the Olympics, but if he has a chance, he can go to Olajuwon's place to train.
