Guard With a Knife

Artest's shoulder shrug was too exaggerated.

At the same time, he didn't expect Snoopy's movements to be so fast and just right, he took a step back subconsciously... Poof!

Duge's firm second step had already stepped in front of him, and the space he had emptied was completely erased.

Just then... bang!

Duger completed a sharp early change of direction, and his body quickly switched to Artest's left. Although his upper body looks a little stiff.

However, the feet are not ambiguous at all.

Artest was half-stepped past the defense in an instant, but he quickly moved across the past. Although his pace was not as flexible as when he was young, the sudden acceleration allowed him to keep up quickly.

In his peak period, Artest was able to snatch the best defensive player from Ben Wallace, who was also in his peak period, by stalking. He is not afraid of confrontation, moves quickly laterally, and has extremely powerful limbs. In addition, he is very good at handwork and is extremely good at steals, so in 2001-06, almost all the top outsiders were unwilling to face defenders.

However... poof!

When he defensively invaded Duge, Duge's technical movements did not deform. On the contrary, he is still moving forward, and the speed of progress seems to be faster.

This made Artest lose control. He thought he could hinder Doug's forward speed. He even directly took this opportunity to break his blue flag.

But... I miscalculated, and at the same time I also lost my position.

With Doug away from him, he tries to reach out for the final tackle, but Doug's quick change of direction makes his backside look ridiculous.

In a blink of an eye, Doug has flashed into the paint. Scola tried to delay a step outside the reasonable collision zone, but was turned around by Doug. Then Duge lifted into the air under the basket, and Yao Huang tried his best to throw the cover, but Duge in the air played a lever under his ribs, and changed the basketball from his right hand to his left hand, and flicked it lightly... !

The basketball falls into the net!

The DJ at the scene shouted with a long tone: Snoopy-DU! Du! Du! Du!

As he uttered the long refrain, it was like Gatling was firing a gun.

The atmosphere in the American Airlines Center arena reached its peak in an instant!

At this time,

Doug on the court had already walked up to Ron Artest and told him blankly: "There are still 13 points."

Artest sneered and muttered "shit luck".

At the same time, the commentary seats of TNT have already exclaimed: "Wow! Snoopy killed three defenders and completed a pull-bar layup under the basket."

"He showed a change of direction, a back turn, and a change of hands under the basket." Earl Johnson, who was in charge of -BY-commentation, explained the goal truthfully to the fans: "This goal is star-level. He showed His ability to fight, protect the ball, and finish the ball around the basket."

"Then what do you think of his ability?" Kenny Smith asked.

"I can give him an A grade for his ability to protect the ball, I can give him an S grade for his confrontation ability, and his finishing ability at the basket...maybe he can reach the B grade. Although his pull and hand changes are still a bit stiff. But combined with his ball protection ability And the ability to confront. I think he has been able to take on some offensive tasks in the penalty area." Earl Johnson is a senior basketball expert: "With enough shots, he has the opportunity to increase his scoring average to two number of digits."

"So tonight...can you get 15 points?" Kenny Smith asked again.

Earl Johnson shook his head: "It's difficult. Although Artest's defense has declined recently, he is the one who can steal the best defensive player from the peak Wallace after all. He will no longer make misjudgments, I guess he'll do to Snoopy next what he did to Paul Pierce."

Easy side to fight again, Brooks handed over the basketball to Scola who pulled to the free throw line, Scola was reused under Adelman's tactical system. He used his strong body and nimble steps to overwhelm Marion... Marion was quickly shaken out of position by him, and then he watched him hit the precise hook.

Marion is a mobile forward, he is not good at top man inside.

But that's the way it is now.

Easy side to fight again, Miami accelerated the attack rhythm.

But because Yao Huang and Scola had plenty of physical energy at the beginning of the game, they did not form a fast break advantage.

So, basketball was once again handed over to Doug.

Artest defended again.

But...Dug no longer singled out, but let Margo Leuer come out and make a strong pick-and-roll for himself, and after taking advantage of the situation to reach the free throw line, he passed the basketball to the reverse runner Marion with a hit.

Marion received the basketball and easily threw off Scola and scored a backhand layup.

The current power forward position confrontation is: Marion can't stand up to the floor-flowing Scola, and Scola can't keep up with the quick Marion.

Looking back, Yao Huang quickly told Miami with a hook from the second floor: I am the Rockets' offensive bug.

In contrast, the Heat's offense is indeed lackluster. Doug had Michael Beasley try twice on isolations, and he was always a tiny bit short of Shane Battier's defense,

This made Doug decide to open the situation from Marion, and he began to frequently play block and cut cooperation with Marion and Marion. This has curbed the situation where the gap continues to widen to a certain extent.

But when the first quarter ends, 25:31.

The Rockets still lead by 6 points.

This state is within everyone's expectations. After all, the strength of the Rockets is there, and they have an all-round advantage.

At this time, Dug's data is 2 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 turnover. Neither good nor bad.

"There are only four quarters in a game." Artest did not forget to teach Doug the math before returning to the bench: "2 times 4 equals 8, not 15."

Doug nodded: "You're right."

Asked again: "But have you ever heard of geometric doubling?"

This really stumped Artest.

Seeing Artest's confused face, Duge shook his head, muttered, "I haven't learned mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and I'm talking trash like others", and walked to the bench.

For the current situation of the game, Doug is actually not pessimistic at all.

If there is no accident, the Rockets will put Yao Huang on the bench to rest, and use the second team to top for a few minutes.

And this... is Miami's chance to come back.

"Next I want to play ball-handling power forward."

Doug told Spoelstra.

Spoelstra's eyes widened: Ball-handling power forward? What's the meaning? ?

"I play point guard on offense, I play power forward on defense, and I deal with Luis Scola. If you pair me with Haslem, Sean Marion, James Jones, Brian Wright, I Confident to lead the score in the second quarter."

Spoelstra raises eyebrows: The legendary five-forward tactic?

"I know you want to play the run-and-gun dynamic offense, but... this lineup doesn't kill with the ball." Spoelstra questioned.

"Me." Doug smiled and pointed at himself: "I can break through now, and I can complete the attack under the basket."

Spoelstra was dubious.

Pat Riley, who was sitting in the second row of the bench, said directly: "Let him try."
