This is by no means just an effect that can be achieved by putting five people over two meters tall on the field.

If there were just five "mediocre" two-meter players, then the situation might be...

The back line can't keep up with the opponent's smaller players, and the inside line can't stop the opponent's center.

If it were replaced by five two-meter players with excellent physical fitness, mobility and strength...

That would also be impossible to defend like the Rockets just now.

There is no other reason than the lack of a defensive core like Ben Wallace.

Therefore, if you want to play "Ultimate Basketball", in addition to five players with extraordinary talents and moderate height, you also need someone who can support the defensive system and can assist and supplement defense for teammates at any time.

Coincidentally, the Rockets' current lineup has both of these points.

After meeting these two requirements, the defensive ability of this team will become extremely terrifying!

First of all, all the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics are meaningless.

Because no matter how you do the pick-and-roll, as long as I keep switching defenses, I can ensure that there is an excellent defensive player in front of the ball carrier.

Secondly, it is equally difficult for the opponent to abandon pick-and-roll and other tactics and adopt individual singles.

Because any one of the five Rockets players on the field has good defensive capabilities.

In the current lineup, McGrady's defense may be around average.

But like some superstars, T-Mac's ability to defend without the ball is slightly weaker, but if you really want to hit him with the ball, he will defend with all his strength even if it is for the sake of the star's face.

McGrady defended with all his strength, which made superstars like Kobe and James suffer!

Finally, once the opponent's attack fails, these five players who are over two meters tall and have outstanding physical fitness will launch a counterattack as soon as possible.

The fast break of the "Ultimate Basketball" lineup is very terrifying in terms of speed and finishing ability!

In the next two rounds, the Spurs showed great unsuitability to the Rockets' defense.

Ginobili finally broke through George's defense and got inside.

However, Tucker on the side took a hand and stabbed the ball away.

The Rockets launched a counterattack, and Tracy McGrady broke into the penalty area and succeeded in a layup.

Looking back, Duncan took the initiative to seek singles in the low post.

But facing Ben Wallace's defense, he was obviously not fully prepared.

After several attempts at hitting were ineffective, Shi Fo turned around and planned to rely on his height advantage to force a hook shot.

But Ben, whose physical condition has returned to its peak, is not so easy to deal with.

I saw him jump up, jump to an almost terrifying height, and send the ball flying with one palm.

CCTV commentator Yang Yi couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing this: "Oh my God, Ben Wallace's jumping height is almost as high as Griffin's dunk in the first quarter!"

Duncan, who had a meal of "spicy hot pot", was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that this veteran, who was two years older than him, could jump to such a height in such a short period of time!

"Long time no see, Ben."

Duncan suddenly said this for no reason.

After hearing this, Ben smiled: "Long time no see, Tim."

............

After two consecutive offensive failures, Popovich frowned on the sidelines.

I did so much research and analysis before the game, but it didn't seem to have much effect during the game.

[In the final analysis, if you want to break this infinite defense, Tim will have to step forward.]

[It’s just...it’s not easy to beat the current book alone.]

Popovich thought to himself.

While he was thinking, Duncan failed again.

He tried a mid-range shot from behind and missed.

Tucker jumped up, protected the rebound, and handed the ball to McGrady beside him.

T-mac lowered his head, accelerated, and quickly pushed the ball past half court.

At the same time, the other four members of the Rockets also followed up at an extremely high speed.

For a moment, I felt like "five arrows were fired at once"!

Fortunately, the Spurs' defense is also very good.

Not only did their entire team retreat into position, but everyone also stayed in front of the corresponding offensive team member.

Just from this retreat, we can see that the Spurs are well-trained and have done a lot of preparation work.

However, no matter how well they do, in McGrady's eyes, there are still loopholes.

I saw t-mac suddenly throwing the ball onto the backboard while walking, then accelerating, passing between two Spurs players, and jumping up...

"bang!"

McGrady caught the ball with both hands in the air, gathered his strength, and then poured the ball in!

"Ho~"

"t-mac!!!"

"Ahhh, in such an intense and fierce competition, he still dares to use this trick. He is so courageous!"

"Basketball poet, Tracy is so sexy!"

Toyota Center transformed into a sea of ​​joy at this moment.

At 35:31, the Rockets took a 4-point lead.

Seeing that the previous balance of power was about to tilt, Duncan gritted his teeth as if he had decided something.

During the transition between offense and defense, Ginobili held the ball at a 45° angle on the right side.

Duncan stepped forward and set up a pick-and-roll, helping Yaodao get rid of the opponent's defender smoothly.

The Rockets still adopted the strategy of switching defenses, letting Ben defend Ginobili.

However, in this way, the defender in front of Duncan becomes Paul George.

The stone Buddha immediately sank to the bottom, dropped to a low position, and opened his hand for the ball.

Although George is taller than Ben, his strength is simply not comparable.

Duncan took a step forward and there was nothing he could do behind him.

Fortunately, George responded quickly.

He stepped back to avoid physical contact with Duncan, then adjusted his angle and suddenly moved in front of Duncan.

"Beautiful, George's choice to defend forward is very wise."

Yang Yi explained in a timely manner.

"In this way, he can use his height and wingspan to block the pass to Duncan."

Yu Jia added.

However, everyone still underestimates Ginobili's creativity.

With a flick of his wrist, he made a wonderful lob pass past George's fingertips and into Duncan's hands.

After picking up the stone Buddha, he stepped forward with his right foot and jumped up.

Tucker on the inside quickly moved a step laterally and tried to cover up the defense.

But Duncan faced his defense and steadily scored the ball.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and Tucker blocked the foul.

Two points scored, plus a penalty!

The originally noisy Toyota Center suddenly fell silent.

With this goal, the Spurs successfully broke through the Rockets' unlimited switching defense through the wonderful cooperation of the two major stars!

Duncan stepped to the free throw line and hit the ball steadily.

At 35:34, the Spurs were only one point behind.

Between serves, Ben Wallace called his teammates to him: "Next, any pick-and-roll that Duncan participates in, we will not switch defenses, I will guard him the whole time."

Everyone nodded.

Except for Ben, no one else on the court can guard Duncan.

Such changes have immediate effects.

In the next round, the Spurs' offense once again fell into trouble.

Duncan was defended by Ben and didn't even have a chance to catch the ball.

The Rockets took the opportunity to counterattack again and scored two more points!

Mark Jackson, who was on the sidelines, witnessed the whole process and sighed in his heart:

"The manager's transaction is so critical..."

"With a defensive leader like Ben, the team's on-the-spot adaptability has improved by more than one level!"
