Reborn My Name Is Kobe

However, although Shaq was a little frightened by Barkley during this defense, he returned to his previous ferocious appearance after two or three rounds. After all, Barkley's absolute strength and weight are still the same as Shaq's.

There is a gap. If he had to have a fierce physical confrontation with Shaq every round, he would definitely not be able to stand it.

If Shaq is beaten on the offensive end, then Barkley will choose not to guard Shaq on the defensive end, but will switch to Olajuwon to fight against Shaq.

Gram, then Barkley will not choose to fight against Shaq in the next few offenses.

I gradually discovered that Shaq, who was already very exhausted not long after the beginning of the fourth quarter, also showed some signs of physical recovery at this time. He had fierce battles with Barkley and Olajuwon in several consecutive rounds.

After the confrontation, he became more and more energetic and powerful. It was really incredible and gave me some new understanding of his physical fitness.

Moreover, Shaq's efficiency on both ends of the offense and defense has not declined. On the contrary, it is as if he has suddenly awakened to Gaian mode, becoming more courageous as he plays. Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that Barkley and Olajuwon are on the verge of depletion of physical fitness.

Bar.

Seeing Shaq show off his power and completely defeat the Rockets' two top stars, the Rockets head coach had no choice but to call a timeout. One of the purposes of this timeout is probably to let

Several of their main players should take this opportunity to take a good rest.

Today, the three core players in the Rockets, Dream Olajuwon, Flying Pig Barkley and Glider Drexler, did play a bit too long. Although I admire their professionalism very much, NBA games are very cruel.

Yes, as you get older, you will face huge challenges in competitions.

During this timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris rearranged new tactics for us, and at the same time prepared to send the team's five strongest lineups on the field, that is, after removing the small forward from the main lineup and adding Eddie as a substitute

Jones, this lineup is basically our most balanced offensive and defensive lineup on the court.

After the timeout, there are less than four minutes of game time left on the court. Although it feels like four minutes can pass in the blink of an eye, in fact, many times in very intense NBA games, the last five minutes or so

It is normal to play for half an hour in the end.

The Rockets' lineup on the field has also undergone some changes. In addition to their three core players, the other two role players have changed. I don't know what the real purpose of the Rockets head coach's arrangement is. Maybe

Maybe they want to use their still sufficient physical fitness to act as a surprise player in the game.

No matter what, in this offense after returning from the timeout, the Rockets' game state returned again, with smooth passing, precise tactical movements, and many different tactical changes after every pick-and-roll. This game

The Rockets may be the team with the best tactical knowledge that we have encountered this season besides the Utah Jazz. It is possible that the diversity of their tactical changes is even higher than that of the Utah Jazz.

After all, we were facing the Utah Jazz in the second game of a back-to-back, and we were severely lacking in physical fitness. In addition, Shaq took many players from the Lakers to party all night long the night before. What was even more unfavorable was the thin air in the Utah plateau.

It will have some respiratory effects on people who do not live on the plateau. Even with so many unfavorable circumstances, we once had hope of recovering from the game against the Utah Jazz.

But this Rockets team may really not only be supported by three Hall of Fame players at the end of their prime. This team has a pretty good tactical cornerstone, which is also the legacy of the two consecutive championship teams.

Come down to the background.

Fighting against such an all-out Rockets team is obviously of great benefit to our team's running-in and improving our overall combat strength. Only by constantly competing against stronger opponents can we be able to win faster.

Improve our own strength.

From the beginning of the first quarter, this Rockets team brought us tremendous pressure. This pressure was multi-level. At the beginning, my Lakers teammates seemed really not used to playing under this kind of pressure.

However, as time goes by, we are slowly adapting and getting stronger, and we also performed well during this period, including the dunk that Shaq and I made over the head of Olajuwon, which greatly boosted our morale.

But even though we took a temporary lead in the stalemate with the Rockets several times, their resilience still allowed them to slowly bite back the score. From beginning to end, no team could

We established a score advantage of more than double digits. During the game, our players also had fierce conflicts and received technical fouls. Our physical fitness was severely tested in hand-to-hand combat, but in the end we

We all persisted until the end of the game. Next is the time to truly test the quality of our players. Can Shaq and I withstand the pressure and maintain this victory in front of the home fans, and can the Rockets lose at their home court?

Even though the game was on the court, we managed to win back a victory at the home court of our Lakers team.

It may or may not be anyone who can decide all this. Heroes are born in such great games and great moments. Many heroes have been born in this game broadcast live across the United States.

Classic shots, what unforgettable moments are waiting for us?

Time seems to have slowed down a lot. The Rockets' tactical movement is almost impeccable. Their regional triangle offense is very changeable, switching from a triangle offense on one side to a triangle offense on the other side. The five people on the court have a high degree of tacit understanding.

Just like one person, you must know that two of the players did not start together with the other three core players, but were temporarily found among the substitute players, but their tacit understanding is as if they are really starting together.

The players are average, or in other words, the Rockets head coach has already conducted countless tactical drills based on different lineups during normal training, so that it is possible for the entire team to have such good tactical literacy.

There is no problem with Shaq and I's single-target defensive capabilities, but when faced with this ever-changing triangle offense, we are really a little helpless. Even if Shaq is willing to defend without caring about physical consumption at this time, there is nothing we can do.

Really guarding the Rockets' off-ball players, their pick-and-roll followed by pick-and-roll and elevator tactics, was simply a nightmare for defensive players. I never thought it would be so difficult to keep up with my defender.

.

In the end, my defender, Drexler, the glider, still got his 20+ points, and this time he hit three consecutive mid-range shots. Almost every ball used the same triangle offensive tactics, from a distance

The shot was made almost far away from the basket, and almost every time I knew he would take the shot there, but there was no way to prevent it.

Just like that, Glider Drexler's score had reached 25 points. I failed to achieve the score agreed upon by Shaq and I.

Of course, it's actually quite difficult for Shaq himself. At this time, there are still more than two minutes left before the end of the game. Shaq's score has just reached 24 points. He originally had many scoring opportunities, because the Rockets have recently

The team began to double-team and foul him crazily, and each foul was extremely severe. If these fouls were placed in the NBA small ball era decades later, almost all of them would be flagrant fouls, and some could even be counted as fouls.

A second-level flagrant foul will result in direct expulsion from the game.

However, in this era, Shaq can only endure this level of fouls silently. In fact, with his strength and endurance, this kind of foul that is almost crippling to others is really serious to him.

It can only be regarded as a common foul. This is very similar to the little emperor LeBron James who appeared later. As long as the fouler is not beaten to death, it is not considered a flagrant foul. Even some balls that are obviously fouls will be directly

Was ignored by the referee.

Of course, in this era, opponents always hope that the referee will call the foul they committed against Shaq. If the referee deliberately misses the foul that someone committed against Shaq, they will be very unhappy and may chase the referee and yell.

It is precisely for this reason that they fouled Shaq so much. They were afraid that the referee would not call them a foul. After all, Shaq's free throws have always been unstable. Although statistics show that Shaq's free throws were always unstable at the last critical moment of the fourth quarter.

The free throw shooting percentage will be greatly improved, but at least this situation did not happen today.

The Rockets put Shaq on the free throw line three times in a row, and he only made two of six free throws in total. This scoring efficiency was enough for the Rockets to feel at ease and use inhumane shark-cutting tactics against Shaq.

I don’t know who invented the shark-cutting tactic. There are rumors that it was the legendary head coach of the Spurs, Popovich. I do believe this. If it weren’t for the fact that the Spurs are deliberately messing up this season, I believe it.

When he encountered us before, Popovich would definitely use the ultimate secret weapon of shark-cutting tactics.

I really hope that Shaq can spend more time on free throws. I made a bet with him that if he loses, he will go to training in advance. It is not just to give him the opportunity to practice more basic things like free throws.

The time of the game did not stop its flow because of the many free throws. Although the last few minutes of the game had been stretched several times, the exhausted players took advantage of the free throws to rest and recover on the court.

, as an NBA player sometimes you need to learn to rest on the court instead of off the court, especially in the life and death moments of the playoffs, the team's main players often have close to or even more than 40 minutes of playing time, and

You have to overcome your physical limitations and complete the race under very difficult circumstances.

The game has entered the last two minutes of the last quarter, and at this time the score between the two sides is actually 93 to 93, and neither side has scored a goal in a sports match for a while. The sweat is flowing down the players.

The forehead, neck, back, and thighs flow all the way into the shoes.

For a confrontation of this level, I can only be glad that I don’t have to play a back-to-back game tomorrow, otherwise even I would be exhausted. However, the players on the field are gritting their teeth and persisting even if their physical fitness has reached its limit.

He is unwilling to let his teammates and opponents discover his lack of physical fitness.

After a period of crazy outburst, Shaq's physical fitness has reached its limit, and his mental state suddenly seems to be a lot sluggish. Continuous missed free throws also make his mood become more and more depressed. I

I knew it wouldn't work if I continued like this, so I had to find a way to inspire my teammates, or maybe I should stand up when the time came.

It's time to take over the game.

Although the Rockets' offense at this time was able to create opportunities and open spaces, our Lakers defensive players were unable to fully catch up and defend due to physical reasons, but their outside players were unable to seize opportunities and failed to make shots.

That key ball that can change the situation on the court.

And this situation happened not only for the two substitute players who had just come on the field, but also for the Rockets' three original Hall of Fame core players who were unable to put the damn ball into the basket.

There were expressions of frustration on their faces as they continued to miss shots, but soon they gritted their teeth and continued to participate in the retreat.

The Rockets have always done a good job in retreating defense, which prevented me from finding a particularly good opportunity when I wanted to use counterattacks for fast breaks. There were a few times when I held the ball and rushed directly to the Rockets' inside line, but the result was less than a minute.

Within seconds, I was quickly surrounded by more than three people. They completely blocked the referee's sight, so much so that these guys just pulled the ball from my hands and I didn't get a whistle.

I helplessly spread my hands to the referee, indicating that my arms were almost red from being beaten, but then I realized that my skin color is a bit dark now, so I might not be able to see it, so I could only shake my head and run towards my own half.

Even if the Rockets want to push up the speed, they really can't push it up. Those guys with old arms and legs can only slow down the rhythm and try to achieve a success rate. At this time, there are only a few seconds left before the end of the game.

It's one minute's time.

So the question is, who will the Rockets let take the lead in the last few offensive opportunities? Should they insist on running tactics to get absolute opportunities before shooting, or should the three top stars in their team decide the course of the game.

The answer is finally about to be revealed. All the Rockets players opened up the space for the glider Drexler. It seems that he is going to end the game with such a single like he did at the beginning of the game?

Of course I couldn't let him achieve this goal so easily. In fact, he still scored 25 points under my defense, and I also scored 23 points at this time. My shooting percentage in this game as the starter

It's actually a bit low. Compared to the previous overall shooting percentage of nearly 50%, I only hit 6 of 15 today. Nearly half of my points were scored at the free throw line. Fortunately, my free throw shooting rate was very high. Today

He made 9 of 10 free throws, 4 of 10 two-pointers, and 2 of 5 three-pointers.

I didn't succeed in limiting Drexler's score to less than 20 points, but I can't even limit him to 30 points. Haha, I still don't believe he can score 5 points in a row with one minute to kill.

This time I decided not to let the glider have too much room to start, so I rushed outside the three-point line to defend him closely. In fact, the defensive rules for outside players in this era are relatively loose, and the defender can also use his arms.

Putting it on the offensive player, I followed the glider closely, preventing him from taking off immediately.

This kind of defense finally had an effect, because Glider's physical fitness at this time was completely different from that at the beginning. He wanted to dribble to get rid of my defense, but his dribbling height was a little low, and I

At that time, he was very close to his position. He seized this opportunity and struck directly, decisively cutting off the ball of the glider.

After I intercepted the ball, Glider did not completely fall into panic. His long-term experience in the league means that he quickly reacted and started to press me on the spot, even if he could not directly intercept my ball.

When the ball comes, it will also delay my counterattack speed. Originally, my best choice at this time is to pass the ball, but passing the ball is obviously not in line with my Kobe Bryant's game style. At such a critical moment, of course I have to pass the ball.

The offensive opportunity that determines the fate of the team is in your own hands.

And I also believe that there is no second person in the entire Lakers team at this time who is more suitable than me to play this key ball. After all, my physical fitness has always been the best among them. It can be said that even if there is another overtime,

Even in the game, I can walk out of the arena alive and well. Of course, I don’t mean that I want to play overtime. Of course I don’t want to play overtime. I just want to be on this land, in this arena, in front of the crowd.

Thousands of fans at the scene, killing the damn Rockets in front of the TV audience watching this live broadcast across the United States!

I didn’t want overtime, I just wanted a buzzer-beater. I compressed the game time to the end, leaving no more than 5 seconds for the Rockets after I took the shot. Of course, if I failed to hit the shot, then we still had

5 seconds to grab an offensive rebound.

The head coach Silver Fox Harris was also very cooperative at this time and did not call a timeout. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. I could clearly hear my breathing, the sound of my heart beating, and the surroundings

I have lost all other sounds.

Take off, lean back, shoot, ball, ball, the ball didn’t go in!

I didn't believe my eyes, but my body was rushing forward desperately. My mind went blank. Shaq also jumped up, and Dream Olajuwon also jumped up. They were all jumping crazily, and I

They also jumped up, but no one got the ball.

A group of two-meter-plus men were fighting furiously, but no one could control the ball. The referee kept moving his eyes, trying to clearly see all this chaotic scene.

.

However, however, when the time came, the full-time whistle sounded, and our Lakers and Rockets actually tied in regular time. Who can bear this?

To be honest, although this result is not the worst, it still makes me feel a little disappointed. This is indeed a very good opportunity, but I did not seize it. I remember that I once had a winning goal this season.

experience, how much I want to relive the feeling of being the savior, but after all, the buzzer beater cannot be the theme that appears every night, so I still have to accept this fact and prepare for the next addition.

Be prepared for the season.

The faces of my teammates on the Lakers didn't have much expression at this time. It seemed that it was very normal that I didn't make the winning shot. Then I thought about it, isn't this a very ordinary thing? Even though I made the shot, it was very normal.

Scoring the winning goal will instantly make you the hero of the team and make you the most dazzling person in the arena that night. But after all, it is just a shot, a shot. I will have countless nights in the future.

I need to face this choice, should I take responsibility for everything myself, or should I trust my teammates and choose to pass the ball.

I am not LeBron, I am Kobe. My expectation for myself is that I should decide my own destiny, so no matter what state the last ball is in, I should take the shot bravely and only regard it as

It was just an ordinary shot. If I win, everyone will celebrate together. If I lose, let me bear the responsibility alone.

Look at the Rockets players sitting across the court. Their eyes are full of luck at this time, but they will soon be defeated. They have no physical strength. Our Lakers will completely defeat their defense.

, making all their efforts this night in vain.

They are formidable opponents worthy of admiration, but tonight, the final victory in this game can only belong to our Lakers.

Overtime started soon, and there was no big suspense about the jump ball between Shaq and Dream Olajuwon. Eddie Jones was still on the court with the other four starters of our Lakers, and the Rockets'

The lineup was the same as it was at the end of the fourth quarter. The two starting players seemed to be directly abandoned by their head coach, which was quite surprising.

After Eddie Jones received Shaq's jump ball, he quickly moved the ball to the Rockets' free throw line. However, he hesitated in this area for a moment. The glider Drexler let me go and double-teamed me.

Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones' ability to handle the ball is still a big weakness. Soon the basketball in his hand was grabbed by a glider. I looked at Eddie Jones a little angry, and there was a look on his face that he had done something wrong.

expression.

I didn't have any more time to blame him. At this time, the glider Drexler had already dribbled quickly through half the court and headed directly for our Lakers' basket.

There was a voice in my mind telling me that I couldn't let him score this goal, so my body felt a surge of heat from the inside out, and my feet seemed to no longer belong to me.

, and became an efficient machine. It ran so fast that it helped me catch up with the glider after falling two positions behind.

When Glider faces the Lakers basket, he naturally wants to finish with a dunk. With his jumping ability, he only needs to step about one step inside the free throw line after dribbling to complete the dunk.

Fortunately, Robert Horry's speed to the frontcourt was a little slow on the ball just now, so after Eddie Jones missed the ball, Robert Horry's position was relatively backward. However, his speed was a bit slow and there was no way to catch up with the glider.

He was sprinting at full speed, but his body also slightly interfered with the glider's forward trajectory, buying me an extremely precious few tenths of a second for my return to defense.

When the glider had advanced to near the free throw line, I had already arrived at the side of the glider first, but I had no way to stop him from taking off. He took a big step into the free throw line with one foot and then took off.

The whole person is like a big bird spreading its wings in the air.

I also took off. Maybe my take-off time was a little slower than his, but I did jump up. The inertia of my body brought huge energy along the way, which made my full-strength take-off also have the power.

With such terrifying kinetic energy, I headed straight for the glider's hand that wanted to dunk.

There was a muffled sound of "pop", and then the glider and my body flew out heavily. The impact was so great that I felt my body rolling on the floor. I wanted to stop but never could.

Way to stop.

The referee's whistle sounded. It seemed that my pursuit block failed and hit Glider's arm. In fact, with his jumping speed, it was very difficult for me to hit his arm. This was actually achieved.

My goal is that even a foul will not allow the glider to dunk easily. This is the Staples Arena, and the basket here is guarded by me!

Shaq rushed over and punched me directly. I knew it was his way of showing friendship, but his punch still made half of my shoulders numb.

The fans in the Taips Arena held their breath at first, and then burst into bursts of applause after seeing me and Glider getting up from the ground unharmed. It was obvious that they were worried about my goal that spanned half of the basketball.

The chasing defense on the field is quite satisfactory.

When the glider came over, he looked at me with a rather playful look. I thought to myself that this look meant: You really don't want your life. How can I, an old man like you, bother me like this?

I shook my head helplessly, with a satisfied smile on my face. This is the result I want. If you want the older generation like Glider to look up to you, you must show enough aggression and play something worthy of them.

Something to take a good look at.

Glider Drexler's mentality did seem to have changed slightly. This foul earned him two free throw opportunities, but he failed to seize them. God knows how long it has been, and neither of our teams scored a single point.

When will this scoring drought be broken?

With the momentum from this ball, I started to hold the ball to launch the next attack. Shaq took the initiative to come up to me and played a pick-and-roll. However, after the pick-and-roll was completed, he was not able to completely take away the Rockets defensive players.

, their defensive strategy should have undergone some changes. If Shaq comes to pick and roll, they will directly substitute. After the substitution, two people will come out to quickly delay and double-team the ball holder. Then if the pick-and-roll player is inside

Cut, the Rockets players will quickly shrink inward to double-team the player who cuts inside. The whole process is very fast to cover up defense, and the tacit understanding between them is very high.

This made the pick-and-roll between me and Shaq seem so weak for the first time, and I didn't find any chance to open up space. Then I simply asked Shaq to pull away directly, and I had a one-on-one duel with the glider Drexler.

.

In fact, how could Shaq pull the big dream Olajuwon out of the penalty area? I asked him to pull away just to stop him from blocking my breakthrough route in the paint. As long as I chose to play in singles, it would definitely not be a one-on-one bullfight.

, but one to two, one to three or even more.

When facing the opponent's double-team defense, you must understand something, that is, no matter what decision you make, once you decide, never retreat or regret. The same is true when you encounter double-teams in singles. If you want to pass the ball, pass it quickly.

If you are determined to hit the basket, you must rush in like a bag of explosives. You must not be half-hearted and lack determination. In that case, your singles will lose their power. Not only will you not be able to cause damage to the opponent's inside, but you will also hurt your own team.

The offensive rhythm, and at this moment I have decided to use singles to open up the situation for the entire Lakers team, so even if I am facing a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​​​fire, I will work hard and not stop!

Sure enough, as soon as I made the breakthrough move, Barkley and another Rockets substitute player behind the glider began to stare at me. I didn't hesitate any more. I directly held the ball and focused on the glider's defense.

The weak side breaks through. This time is different from my previous breakthroughs. In the past, when I broke through, I usually made some cross steps or test steps, but this time I didn't do that. What I wanted was like this

The psychological game made the glider unclear whether I would make dribbling movements such as changing direction in front of my body.

There is no doubt that I won the bet this time. With my current first step speed, I didn’t have time to react defensively when he got too close to me. Previously, the glider’s defense had already been in front of me.

But I hid my dribbler, so that he could not judge which side I would break through at the first time, and then used this time difference to directly throw him behind me.

This is not the first time I have broken through the Glider's defense face to face in this game. Wasn't Olajuwon's ball the previous dunk dream also broke through the Glider's defense? After all, he is still old and is no longer capable on the defensive end.

, however, breaking through a veteran who has no physical fitness will not make me feel much sense of accomplishment, but even so, I just want to win, I want to win this first game where I become the main player.

My breakthrough this time was simply to take advantage of my speed and rush to the inside when the Rockets players were seriously lacking in physical fitness. At this time, Barkley and another substitute player rushed over to help defend me, and Dameng

Olajuwon couldn't get back to his position in the corner, so I decided to ignore Barkley's double-teaming and rush to the basket at full speed.

Barkley and the substitute rushed to double-team me on both sides, and I only had a small space. If I couldn't get through this space in time, I wouldn't be able to take action, and when I barely got through this small space

After the gap, I realized that I had arrived directly under the basket and almost lost the space to shoot. At this time, Barkley's palm had also come behind me.

I threw the ball back just before I lost my balance, and my body was knocked out of the baseline by Barkley's unsteady center of gravity.

The referee did not blow the whistle for this ball, which means that no foul occurred. I sat on the floor and watched the ball spinning above the basket, spinning, spinning, until I struggled to get up from the ground.

The ball seemed to fall into the basket unwillingly.

I didn't have time to express how thrilling it was to score this goal. I was already running quickly towards the backcourt. I had to prevent the glider from going for a fast break counterattack.

But it was obvious that the glider was not doing that. He was consuming time, but it seemed as if he was resting in place to recover. His eyes were looking at the basket behind me from time to time, and from time to time he looked at our Lakers' defensive formation against him.

With one goal, I have broken our Lakers' scoring drought that lasted for a long time. At this time, the pressure has completely come to their side, the Rockets. Will this goal continue to lag behind, tie or overtake?

I tried to read the true thoughts deep inside Glider's eyes, but I found that I really couldn't. His eyes were very deep and seemed very pure at this time. There was only a basket in his eyes, and

It seems that he has everything and the career he has experienced over the years.

The look in his eyes made me dare not look down on him. Even though I knew that at this time he had only less than 70% of his strength due to physical decline, I had to go all out and not show any disrespect to him.

Contempt, another post-up play, Glider is ready to end the long scoring drought with a post-up play, can he do it?

When he was doing this post-up play, I found that I was still a little unable to reach him, which showed that his feet were still powerful enough. I could only step back and interfere with his line of sight with my hands.

But I soon discovered that the glider could complete this behind-the-back fadeaway jump shot even without looking at the basket.

And any defense I used was actually ineffective in the face of this attack, because it was so skillful, the kind of skill that has been integrated into my entire career. I could only watch him take action but do nothing.

No, it's not that I don't want to do something, it's just that the rhythm of his back-up play is very unpredictable. He has many fake body movements, which always distracts my attention and makes it difficult to judge where his next move will be.

When to do it, for me, not making defensive moves and not being affected by his offensive moves is the best choice in this situation, so I can only raise my hands and watch him shoot.

There is no suspense, I know he will definitely be able to score this ball. This is a kind of intuition when playing basketball. When the basketball leaves his hand, you already know the result, although sometimes this intuition may be wrong.

, but as long as you trust your intuition, at least most of the time they are accurate, and they will become more and more accurate as your basketball experience becomes more and more abundant.

The basketball enters the basket at a very flat angle. The parabola of the ball thrown by this kind of fadeaway shot cannot be too high, because their release point will be relatively high, so this kind of shot is particularly difficult.

Because there is only a very small angle at which you can shoot the ball into the basket, and once you master the skills, this extremely difficult shot will also become a super killer weapon, allowing you to shoot it at any time.

It's okay to attack anyone in a one-on-one situation, even if that person is much taller than you.

I actually know some of this kind of shooting skills, but my current shooting stability is not good enough. I have no way to judge when the shot is best after jumping up. I can only rely on my own intuition, although intuition often

They are all trustworthy, but there is no way you can win every time just by relying on intuition.

Now the two sides are once again standing on the same starting line, and I must continue to move forward with my Lakers teammates. This marathon-like journey has reached the final sprint stage. Who can persist to the end?

You can take away the only and most delicious fruit of victory.

Shaq and I were still preparing to use the high pick-and-roll to launch an attack, but this time I played not just one pick-and-roll with him, but three times. The first was the first pick-and-roll that Shaq and I conducted at a 45-degree high post on the left.

The grade is mainly to judge the Rockets' defensive strategy, so this grade does not bring us any real help.

I found that the Rockets' defensive strategy was still the same as before. It would be very difficult to attack directly after the pick-and-roll. At this time, Shaq came down, but I did not pass the ball to him because the Rockets' bottom line players were involved.

When I was double-teamed, I called the second pick-and-roll, and this time the pick-and-roll was conducted by Eddie Jones.

After we completed this pick-and-roll, the players guarding Eddie Jones and I exchanged our defensive targets, and Eddie Jones cut inside again, and Shaq walked along the Rockets penalty area toward the three-point corner.

At this time, the Rockets defender Shaq will give up and follow Shaq outside, but Shaq will conduct the third pick-and-roll for Eddie Jones when he also comes out around the baseline. This time, Shaq will help.

Eddie Jones directly blocked the defensive player chasing Eddie Jones from the penalty area.

When Eddie Jones successfully uses Shaq's screen to run to the corner three-point line, I will pass the ball directly to him from a high 45-degree angle, and then he will take the shot directly.

This was an open three-point shot opportunity. It took three pick-and-rolls to complete the tactical coordination. At the beginning, none of us knew whether this tactic could be successfully played, but in the end Eddie Jones still made this extremely critical shot.

The three-point shot gave us an extremely valuable three-point advantage.

The Rockets' head coach decisively called a timeout after Eddie Jones made the three-pointer. It seems that this head coach is indeed experienced and wants to use the timeout to block our possible offensive tide.
