Guard With a Knife

"Ron Artest likes to create physical confrontation too much when defending, and Yao Huang and Scola's defensive range is not enough. Bi is good at physical confrontation, but also good at finding opportunities in the cracks."

Earl Johnson said in the commentary booth.

While he was talking, Yao Huang missed a turnaround jump shot. Joel Anthony took the defensive approach this time. The jumper missed the basket slightly.

Haslem protected the rebound and handed it to Mario Chalmers.

Mario Chalmers took the ball upfield and handed it to Doug again.

As soon as Dug received the basketball, Sean Battier moved his feet quickly, and the two defensive champions tried to strangle Dug directly in the bud of the offense to prevent him from attacking the paint.

But while he was moving over quickly, Doug passed the ball to Michael Beasley on the weak side with an even quicker pass.

Beasley received the ball and rushed forward quickly. After turning around and killing Scola's supplementary defense, he threw the basketball high into the basket.

"K! The transfer of power between the strong and the weak side finally had a little chemical effect." Pat Riley looked very happy.

This is the result he expected.

Swish!

Ron Artest hits a jumper. When Doug went to double-team Yao Huang, Yao Huang passed the basketball to the open Artest, and Artest hit a mid-range jumper.

And then... Artest still strictly guarded against Doug's breakthrough. He originally wanted to stimulate Doug with pre-match trash talk, so that Doug became overwhelmed. In the end, I didn't expect that the person who ignored the other would become me.

As a team player, he now has far more thoughts on the donkey's tongue than the team.

At this time, Doug has begun to pull Haslem into his offensive combination with Beasley.

Haslem has a stable mid-range jumper. When he pulls out the pick-and-roll, he can kill on the outside.

Because of the donkey's tongue hanging above his head, Artest seemed less interested in switching defenses after the pick-and-roll, which brought great convenience to Haslem's shooting.

When Haslem can easily throw a basketball,

When Michael Beasley was able to shake off Shane Battier's shadowy choking defense.

Even though Yao Huang and Scola were able to hit shots in the paint, the Rockets still entered a state of negative growth in terms of scoring.

beep!

The second quarter is over soon.

55:47.

The Miami Heat at home have led by 8 points, which surprised many. No one would have thought that the Miami Heat, who were still beaten by the New Orleans Hornets the night before, would overwhelm the Rockets at halftime.

"Tonight is a veritable Chinese derby. Yao Huang scored 5 points and rebounds in the first half, and Snoopy's statistics are more comprehensive: 8 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks."

"The thing that surprised me the most was that Snoopy also completed the tearing of the Rockets' defense on the offensive end. He changed the Rockets' defensive model. He finally looked like an elite player. You must know that even after winning four In the double game, he was still a passive role player driven by tactics and teammates for most of the time. But tonight, he began to control the game, he can actively stretch the defense and create opportunities for his teammates."

Charles Barkley gave Doug the most compliments in the halftime commentary, and at the same time he didn't forget to review this summer's draft: "There is no doubt that Pat Riley has made another bet. Poor Milwaukee Bucks in Easy After Jianlian suffered a big somersault, she has formed a natural rejection of Chinese players. Therefore, they only spent 1 million US dollars to hand over this super cash cow whose commercial value has jumped to the top ten in the league. Maybe you will say Milwaukee also got a top-five protected pick. Unfortunately, this pick has become worthless as Miami's record ranking has become more and more stable. Maybe it's just a 20th or even 30th pick The draft picks are not necessarily."

Barkley's tendency is very obvious.

But that's okay, because TNT brought him here to hear his unique point of view.

In the commentary booth, everyone has a different job classification. It's like, Earl Johnson, he rarely says tendentious remarks.

"There are two reasons why Snoopy has an advantage on the offensive end. First: He has improved. His control of the breakthrough rhythm and the grasp of offense at the basket are stronger than before. Second: Ron Artes Special. His remarks before the game are tying him to the fire. Now he has to pull his teammates over to participate in the game of besieging Snoopy. And this is bound to destroy the tactical balance, making The rest of the Heat got an opportunity to attack."

"In fact, there is a third point. Yao Huang's defensive mobility is also the reason why the two wing players had to shrink in time."

The experts of TNT analyzed clearly and logically.

But at this time in the locker room of the visiting team, Ron Artest was biting a Big Mac hard. He used to eat some junk food to supplement his energy during the intermission.

"Listen, we can't go on like this. We have to block that Snoopy guy out of the paint, only in this way...we can stop the Heat's offense!" Ron Artest said.

After Tracy McGrady retired from injury, he has become the Rockets' outside player who has the first say.

"No, Ron. I think you should forget what you said before the game. We shouldn't be double-teaming him. I don't think he's going to get you every time. I don't think he's going to the basket every time. Can score." Carl Landry said next to him: "We should focus on other players defensively."

Landry spoke for many in the locker room. ..

Everyone is thinking that Artest is doing self-serving public affairs, in their view. As long as he defends the rest of the Heat, it doesn't matter how many points Snoopy scores.

boom!

The irascible Artest punched the door of the locker: "Boy, you are offending me. Do you think I am worried about that female donkey? I am protecting Yao. Don't you know how to make a beast repeatedly How dangerous is it to break into the paint?"

He walked to the center of the locker room and stared at Carl Landry with angry eyes.

Landry averted his gaze. Artest's fierce reputation made him not want to continue to argue.

At this time, Adelman came over, and he began to arrange new tactics.

He made a small change, putting Shane Battier on Doug and Ron Artest on Michael Beasley.

Sean Battier's defensive ability is not much inferior to that of Artest, and he will never be overheated when facing Snoopy. He is a top student at Duke and is also a P winner. I believe his confrontation with Snoopy will be more interesting.

"Absolutely can't let that kid continue to score." Artest told Battier when he walked out of the locker room.

Battier nodded seriously: "If he only had the ability to attack at the basket, then he would definitely not score 7 points in the second half."

Artest nodded, for Battier's remarks, he has always been very trusting: because Sean has never been a boastful person.

So, just wait and see, Snoopy.

Artest's eyes became sharper, and he was ready for Doug to break through Battier's defense, and he rushed to block the block immediately. He didn't even mind throwing him to the ground with force, so that he could see how difficult it is for a man who dared to break the ribs of the god of basketball!

At the same time, the home team locker room also made new personnel adjustments. Spoelstra followed Duger's suggestion: We only need to use up Yao Huang's physical strength in the third quarter, and the Rockets will fall into habitual weakness in the fourth quarter. I've studied their game, and seven of the games they've lost this season have been comebacks in the fourth quarter.

As a result, Margo Leuer, Joel Anthony, Sean Marion, Dae Quinn Cook, and Doug became the lineup for the second half.

This lineup means that Doug's offensive task is more difficult.
