Chapter 89 The battle for fifth place in the Western Conference
(Thanks to the book friend "Eighteen Years Passed" for the 400-point reward,^3^^3^)
Alston dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to McGrady on the wing. McGrady held the ball on the wing and faced Butler's close defense, looking for an opportunity to hand the ball to Yao Ming.
Anderson went around like crazy, Odom was behind and ready to attack at any time, and Ke Yan prepared a big gift for Yao Ming.
Yao Ming moved to the corner to catch the ball. This position was not originally a singles position that big centers are accustomed to, but Yao Ming can directly launch an attack from this position.
Odom made up the position in time and flanked Anderson. Yao Ming raised his hand to look at the basket and made a fake shot, followed by a one-step move to face the frame, carrying Anderson's defense and sending the ball into the basket.
"Oh! It's really amazing!" Zhang Lili did not hesitate to praise him. He originally thought that it would be a better choice to give the ball to Bowen, who was in the open position, but Yao Ming chose to go one-on-two and sent the ball into the basket.
This is ability!
"When it comes to low-post offense alone, Yao is really among the top three in the league, and he also has a long range~" Monty Williams looked at Ke Yan with a confused look on his face.
Such an inside line with huge offensive power is a nemesis for the Lakers, who have no inside personnel. In this regard, Ke Yan followed the method used by coaches in the previous league to defend Yao Ming, "go around to compress the space for receiving the ball, and then perform the ball after receiving the ball."
Double attack and try to force him to pass the ball."
Of course, the more important thing is to find ways to speed up the pace of the game on the offensive end, increase the number of round trips, and speed up his physical consumption!
Atkins held the ball past half-court and handed it to Odom. Anderson immediately mentioned the high pick-and-roll, helping Odom break through Bowen and reach the free throw line. He attracted Yao Ming to cover and then sent a through pass.
Kobe caught the ball and attacked the frame, causing Jim Jackson to foul.
Kobe made two free throws to recover the score.
"After Kimi took office, the Lakers' record improved, and the biggest contributor was Odom. Kimi amplified Odom's comprehensive technical advantages, allowing him to control more of the ball on the offensive end and choose to distribute the ball or attack, and let him have more control on the defensive end.
When he carries people, he just brings out his center's size and point guard skills." Barkley of the TNT commentary team was full of praise for Odom, highlighting his huge contribution on the offensive end.
Jerry Sloan once said when commenting on Odom, "It is very difficult to design tactics that match Odom's talent." This sentence is a bit of a pun, which not only highlights his extraordinary talent, but also
He also stated his problem, he is comprehensive but lacks the stable scoring methods that a superstar should have.
In response to this, Ke Yan simply let Odom support the team in various tasks. The team's point guard had no organizational skills, so he simply let Odom control the ball; the team couldn't stand up to people inside, so he simply let Odom
Dom will take the lead; Odom can't be the main attacker, so let Kobe and Butler come, and he will be responsible for occasionally playing big and small, occasionally stealing chickens from the outside, and occasionally playing pick-and-rolls for mid-range shots.
When the Rockets attacked, Yao Ming pulled out to play a pick-and-roll with McGrady. His excellent pick-and-roll quality gave McGrady a comfortable shooting space, and the latter made a confident pull-up and hit a long two-pointer.
In the past, after Tracy McGrady scored, Kobe would most likely hit him back. But this time, Kobe was not in a hurry to get down low and play in isolation. Instead, he took the initiative to pick and roll with Anderson, attracting Yao Ming to come out and then send a crotch pass.
Anderson caught the ball and faced Jim Jackson for a layup. Although the ball didn't go in, it caused Jim Jackson's second foul!
"Bang!" Anderson made the first free throw. The Rockets made more substitutions. Wesley replaced Jim Jackson, and McGrady was pushed to the small forward position.
A smile appeared on Ke Yan's lips unconsciously, now Team Rocket is in trouble!
Wesley is said to be a combo guard, but at worst he is an outside shooter with the height of a point guard. He can carry the ball across half the court, move around the outside looking for opportunities to shoot, and his outside shooting percentage will be close to 35.
%, according to pitcher standards, he is on the qualified line. His advantages are that among players of the same height, his speed is not slow, his strength advantage is obvious, and he can sometimes score goals that are not opportunities.
But no matter what, if you let him partner with Alston on the back line, and choose one of Kobe or Butler on the defensive end, this is a very cruel thing!
Height, strength, and athletic ability are all unstoppable!
This also clearly reflects a problem with the Rockets. The lineup is too extreme. Except for Yao Ming and McGrady, the others are more than one level behind? Van Gundy prefers veterans who are stable and make no mistakes, and has no habit of reusing young people.
The team lineup is very deformed.
The next game was incorporated into the rhythm that Ke Yan expected. Yao Ming worked hard to carry in the paint. The Lakers were unable to effectively limit his offense in the paint. Of course, few teams in the league could do this; at the same time, the Rockets'
The outside line is also completely suppressed by the Lakers. When Kobe beats Wesley, he can get whatever he wants! If you switch to Tracy McGrady to defend, Butler will be equally brutal against Wesley!
Kobe and Butler scored 16 points together in the first quarter, helping the Lakers lead the Rockets by 4 points at 29:25.
The point difference is not big, but that is based on the fact that Yao Ming played less than 11 minutes in the first quarter, and Tracy McGrady played the entire first quarter. Van Gundy used the combination of Yao and McGrady to cover the loss of other players on the team. It is not at all
Long-term strategy. Neither Yao Ming nor McGrady are good at physical fitness. If this continues, the Lakers will definitely have the upper hand!
In the second quarter of the game, the Rockets let Jim Jackson, who only played 2 minutes in the first quarter, lead the bench. Van Gundy knew that this period of time was the Lakers' advantage and hoped that the team would stabilize its defense and try to get as many points as possible for the main lineup.
Rest time, and don’t let the score difference reach double digits.
At this stage, Ke Yan replaced the team's most powerful offensive small lineup, Eddie House, Finley, Kobe, Butler, and Odom.
"Oh, Ke Yan asked Kobe to stay on the court and continue to play. It was obviously aimed at Wesley. Kobe and Butler scored a lot of goals on him in today's game. They probably wanted to widen the point difference in one go.
"However, it is easy to have physical problems later, and it depends on whether the players can withstand it." Zhang Liji saw the Lakers' killer move and worried for the Rockets.
With Yao Ming here, he is still speaking more from the perspective of the Rockets at this time, and has not yet transformed into "Weibo Bryant".
He took the initiative to ask for the ball from outside the three-point line, then bent down and adjusted his dribbling rhythm. All the Lakers players who were familiar with Kobe's habits moved to the weak side.
His body suddenly trembled. Kobe's shoulders swayed left and right, and his body leaned sharply to the right. His left foot, which was weakly padded, stepped out to the right like lightning. At the same time, he dribbled the ball with his right hand.<
/p>
Jim Jackson shifted his center of gravity to the left and stepped out with his right foot to block Kobe Bryant.
Kobe's foot that had already stepped out suddenly stopped. With the force gained from the moment, his whole body that had moved to the right suddenly stopped. The ball that had been shot bounced quickly on the ground and then returned to his hand.
Crossing his feet and slamming the basketball, Kobe's body accelerated again! Wesley, who was on the side, passed him in the first shot before making up for the position, and drove into the basket alone.
Facing Mutombo standing in front of him with his arms spread out, Kobe rushed over at full speed without any hesitation!
Kobe stood up from the ground, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and raised it vigorously to the back of his head. His feet seemed to be stepping on springs, flying into the air.
!
"Bang!"
The basket screamed loudly, showing his deformed body in pain.
Kobe grabbed the red basket with both hands, pulled hard, bent his arms, and made an arrogant upward movement, then jumped down, flicked on the floor a few times, and roared loudly! <
/p>
Although he can still occasionally show his strength on the defensive end, I really hope that Mutombo can defend the basket when the team loses defense on the outside. It is just a dream!
