NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

"What's coming up now?"

After hearing Dayao's words, D'Antoni was also stunned. Originally, if Dayao was allowed to play more on the court in this game, maybe the game would not collapse so early, and D'Antoni would not make such a big appearance.

After all, all the tactics were arranged by him. When Dayao was on the court, the team's record was not too far behind.

It was D'Antoni who was stubborn, and the team collapsed after replacing Dayao. In this situation where the world is broadcasting live, D'Antoni's tactics have also been questioned.

It stands to reason that when the team fell into such a big disadvantage, Dayao should protect himself and wait to see D'Antoni's jokes.

But he didn't do that, and choosing to stand up when the team was in distress is very admirable in itself.

The reason why Dayao chose to come forward at this time is also because he has deep feelings for the Rockets.

Even if his "080" teammates when he first entered the league are no longer around, as long as he is still on this team for one day, Dayao will also contribute his last strength to the team.

He absolutely does not allow himself to watch the team lose and just sit back and watch.

This can be seen through the 2009 playoffs.

At that time, Dayao was supposed to leave the arena and go to the locker room for inspection because his knee was injured in a confrontation with Kobe. However, on the way back to the locker room, Dayao was reluctant to give up and chose to play with the injury, and finally won the game. Down.

Although the Rockets still did not escape the fate of being eliminated by the Lakers in the end.

But at that time, Dayao's decisiveness also moved fans all over the world. This is the charm of competitive sports and the spirit of Dayao as the core of the Rockets.

"never give up!"

Dayao looked at the score on the field and said silently in his heart.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, everyone thought that the game had lost its suspense, and just when interest was lacking, they were surprised to find that the Rockets' main center, Dayao, actually appeared.

For the first time, the audience couldn't help cheering.

Everyone has long been looking forward to Dayao's appearance again. Although he is a Lakers home fan, the fans naturally don't want the game to lose the suspense early.

With Dayao's debut, the Rockets' momentum also changed.

As soon as the Rockets served, Dayao looked at the defending Gasol and made a feint. After reaching the inside line, he faced Bynum's defense and dunked the ball into the basket!

As a technical center, Dayao rarely shows such dominance in physical confrontation.

He did this also to prove to the world and the fans of the Rockets that the current Rocket still has the iron-blooded defense of the year.

And those fans who have supported the Rockets for a long time have already burst into tears when they see Dayao's strong return.

Perhaps at this moment, the score gap of more than 30 points is no longer so important, as long as it is the greatest happiness to see Dayao fighting on the field.

With Dayao's attack, it also opened the prelude to the Rockets' strong counterattack.

In the next defense, Dayao successfully blocked Gasol, grabbed the rebound, and threw it into Lowry's hands.

Due to the huge advantage in the fourth quarter, Lin Lei and Kobe, the two core players of the Lakers, did not appear.

Without the shock of the two of them, Lori's heart was also less stressed, and he naturally recovered in terms of speed and technique.

So Lowry took advantage of his speed, got rid of the old fish Fisher, single-handedly went to the basket and scored a layup.

In less than a minute of the game, the Rockets scored 4 points, while the Lakers did not score a single point.

The audience at the scene was also interested, indicating that the game did not end here, but everyone was also curious about how the Lakers would respond to the Rockets led by Dayao?

Next, Dayao began to exert his strength. As a center, he began to use his height advantage.

Take the initiative to come to the three-point line to pick and roll for teammates, and pass the hand.

This tactical approach is even somewhat similar to what worked in the later small-ball era.

However, relatively speaking, the tactics are still a little single, but this sudden change also made the Lakers a little overwhelmed.

Who can imagine that as a center, Dayao did not stand on the inside to fight with Bynum, but instead used his own advantages to cooperate with the outside players.

In fact, this is also a kind of tactics that D'Antoni originally arranged, but it only requires the cooperation of perimeter players, while the task of the center is to be responsible for rebounding and squeezing space on the inside.

When watching his teammates play tactics, although Dayao's role is very low, he himself is also seeking changes.

Just like when he first came to the Rockets, Dayao didn't have many tactical opportunities at all. This is because he relied on his high ball quotient and his own insights to gradually emerge in the league.

When Dayao pulled out from the inside, the Lakers' Bynum was slightly embarrassed.

If last season, he could have come out from the inside, but this season's Bynum's movement speed and physical flexibility are really indescribable.

The league is changing all the time. As a traditional center, Bynum has gradually lost his super explosive power.

And when the center of the new era seems to be moving towards high mobility and gradually developing to the outside, Bynum can't adapt to this trend.

So in the next half of the quarter, Dayao and the Rockets started the prelude to counterattack.

Even China's commentators, Yang Yi and Wang Meng exclaimed.

"Dayao scored a layup!"

"Dayao pick-and-roll assists teammates with three points! 35

"Dayao made a three-pointer by himself, my God!"

Yang Yi: "The current Dayao reminds me of the 2008 Olympics, when he was able to control the teams of other countries by himself.

Helping Chinese players to create scoring space, and at the same time grab rebounds in the interior, it is precisely because of his all-around that China has achieved good results!

Wang Meng: "Yeah, because of injuries, I haven't seen Dayao play like this for two years, and sure enough, Lin Lei helped Dayao find his best self!

But we hope Dayao can stay healthy all the time, he is 30 years old after all.

117:102.

The score gap between the two sides soon came to 15 points. Although it seemed to be a large number, it was tied by 15 points in half a quarter, and the Rockets' offensive momentum gradually picked up.

Even Brooks, who did not play well in the first few quarters, played with the Lakers' center, and even knocked down the 5.9 backup center and assisted Scola with a dunk.

Seeing that the Rockets were showing signs of taking off, Phil Jackson didn't dare to be careless and called a timeout, hoping to cool down the Rockets and let the Lakers adjust their state in time.

After all, it is not impossible for the ship to capsize in the gutter. In such a highly anticipated Christmas battle, or at home, Phil Jackson will never allow his team to fail!

"Don't be discouraged, play the tactics you want, we don't match the Rockets' passing and cooperation with the outside line, we will play positional warfare and play triangle offense.

Try to avoid mistakes as much as possible. Although Dayao has performed well in supporting the team, his movement speed as a center is still slow, which can be grasped.

and also....."

After arranging the tactics, Phil Jackson turned his attention to Lin Lei and Kobe: "Lin Lei and Kobe, you two, prepare, and come on stage after the timeout!
