Chapter 93 Against the Rockets
Compared with yesterday's warm scene, the tough battle Li Luo faced today was not so easy to pass.
At the beginning of the game, in front of Dayao, the jump ball was almost a formality, and Francis got the ball for the first attack.
Speaking of Francis, the Chinese fans are most familiar with him because of his generous support during Dayao's rookie season.
Later, after Francis was traded and laid off, the kind-hearted Dayao also recommended Francis to the domestic league. But after that, he had already been almost destroyed by alcohol, sex and drugs, and he no longer had the physical fitness to fly into the sky and escape from the earth. In the CBA
After a few games, he retired hastily.
And now Francis is in great shape. In his second season with Dayao, he averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game. These are quite comprehensive statistics, but due to too much reliance on physical fitness
, which keeps his shooting percentage at a substandard level. This season, his 40.3% two-point shooting rate and 29.2% three-point shooting rate have made it difficult for the Rockets to take another step forward.
Dayao, on the other hand, has made significant progress this season. His 17.5 points have reached the highest score in the Rockets team, and all of this is only done on 12 shots per game. 9 rebounds also proves Dayao's defensive skills.
In his second year, his technical level is quite mature. His shooting, free throws, footwork, etc. are all at an upper level for the center position. Now there are two points that need to be paid attention to. One is to increase muscles to better adapt to confrontation. Secondly,
The point is to enhance endurance so that you can perform better in the fourth quarter.
Now the team's Yao can calmly declare to the outside world: This Rockets team is my team.
Having said that, Francis achieved results when he challenged Atkins for the first time. He is also a speedy defender, and Francis' body is much stronger than Atkins. The first moment Francis used the hesitation step, Atkins was not beaten.
Kings passed, but once the two made physical contact, Francis immediately gained the advantage.
The shoulders of the two collided, and Atkins staggered backward. Francis, who had gained space, did not go deep into Li Luo's defense. He took the ball to his crotch. After changing hands, he immediately started serving.
Jump shot.
"Whoa!" The basketball hit the net. Amid cheers from the audience, Francis roared excitedly and jumped back to his own half.
However, Li Luo didn't say anything. He welcomed Francis's duel.
As a person who likes to analyze game data, Li Luo has made detailed analysis of opponents such as Francis who are slightly threatening in the league.
First of all, as a scorer, Francis has scoring ability and is very good.
But he is not an extremely talented player like Kobe and Jordan. The characteristic of those guys is that if they say they will kill you, they will kill you.
And their exaggerated physical strength can do this kind of thing all day long. Then, your home team will find that they have no choice but to lose today's game. Defense? They must have defended it. But if you can't hold it back, they will block it and they will still score.
ah.
But players like Francis are different. He has a very explosive scoring ability. You can often see him scoring 13 or 4 points with great energy in one quarter, but the scoring performance of this kind of scorer often cannot last long. Just watch a game.
, which only gives you about twenty points. You can’t kill someone like this.
Men, you have to be strong and durable in order to win key games.
The second point is that Francis' shot selection is not very good. He only scored 16.6 points in nearly 18 shots per game. Many of the goals in each game were shot against the defender, so the efficiency was naturally not high.
This is also the main reason why Li Luo hopes that Francis will take a lot of shots this time.
To be honest, compared to Francis, who plays like a black hole, Li Luo is more afraid of the sudden enlightenment of the Rockets and takes the initiative to play inside. Life will be difficult for him and Blount.
It's the Celtics' turn to attack. On defense, the Rockets and Celtics are almost evenly matched. Both teams have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Take the Rockets as an example. Their defensive skills of Francis and Dayao are very good, but in this game the Celtics will not let Mike James and Blount participate too much in the offense.
The Celtics forwards Pierce and Li Luo defended well, but the back line was weak and slow, and the center's defensive level was mediocre. It was expected that Dayao scored more than 20 points today.
Now after halftime, the person standing in front of Li Luo is Rockets power forward Kevin Cato.
This guy's statistics this season are 66, and you'll know what kind of player he is.
In fact, before Yao came, Kevin Cato was originally the center, but in order to give Yao a position, and the Rockets had no power forward, he had to take up this unfamiliar position.
As a result, after two years of playing, Cato's statistics and abilities became worse and worse. Even so, the stingy Rockets boss couldn't bear to not strengthen at the fourth position.
Interestingly, Cato was traded out next season as a bargaining chip in exchange for Wheat, and the Rockets' power forward was replaced by Swift and Juwan Howard. When Swift and Howard lost their position under the basket again and again,
Then after Yao Ming blocked the hole of the gun to defend against fouls again and again, many people began to miss Yao's inside partner Kevin Cato in the first two seasons. At least, he was still qualified.
Now, facing such a player, Li Luo must of course use his excellent singles skills.
Li Luo passed the ball back to Pierce and ran to the inside to get a position. Kevin Cato, who was strong and strong, did not rush him out at the first time, but Li Luo was stuck behind him.
Pierce's pass quickly reached Li Luo's hands, and Li Luo turned sideways and started to play with his back.
Li Luo's post-up play is not as powerful as a traditional inside line. His playing style is more like a large defender. He is agile and graceful and constantly looking for opportunities in the inside line.
This was the case with this goal. After discovering through confrontation that Cato was not weak, Li Luo decisively gave up on carrying him inside to look for danger. Instead, he started playing with his feet.
Li Luo turned from his back to facing the frame, and tentatively swayed his right foot towards the baseline, giving the illusion of a baseline breakthrough. As expected, Cato's center of gravity shifted to his left. Li Luo noticed this and immediately right
Use your feet to break through to the left at the same time.
Cato quickly stepped in to defend, but just this little time difference was enough for Li Luo to complete an attack. Li Luo ran to the high post with the ball, stopped at the free throw line and took off. At this time, Cato had just arrived to defend.
Position, he was quite embarrassed after this operation. This time he didn't even have enough time to complete the take-off action.
"Whoa!" The ball went in.
When retreating from defense, Li Luo, who wanted to implement his tactical intentions and hoped that Francis would make more moves, did not forget to tease the former at the right time.
"Hey, you score one, I return one, and we're even!"
Francis frowned. Luo Li knew that the plan was more than half successful.
