The Pope of Basketball Community

Basketball Pope 459, Chapter 459 [Almighty Yao Ming went crazy] - 567 Chinese Brown called the players to his side and continued to emphasize defense. He always believed that defense was the key to winning, even if he couldn't prevent it.

Yang Rui started to play tricks again. He not only wanted Yao Ming to score and rebound, but also wanted to help him get assists. In this game, he wanted to use on-the-spot responses to make his opponent despair.

When Yang Rui adjusted his tactics, the coaching staff and players couldn't believe it because he actually had to replace the fringe player Diop and Rasheed Wallace.

"Dessa Gaynor, you were the 8th pick in the first round in 2001. At that time, many people were optimistic about your future. Even now, I believe you can occupy a place in the NBA, play to your strengths, and let people know that you are on the offensive end. It can work. Just play like we did in training, with a zone defense on the defensive end, and the cards help Yao get rebounds."

At the end of the timeout, Brown had no choice but to replace his own son Ben and replaced him with substitute center Nazr Mohammed. The center is 208cm tall and weighs 113kg. His body still suffers from Yao Ming alone.

As soon as the Lakers players came on, Brown almost dropped his jaw, because the Lakers, with two star power forwards and three-point power forward Cook, actually replaced Diop and used the "twin tower strategy"!

Zhang Lili was also shocked. "With Diop's size, should he play power forward, or should Yao Ming play power forward?"

Yu Jia said: "The Lakers' lineup is definitely worse at perimeter defense. It's impossible for the Knicks to break into the penalty area. Is Yang Rui trying to save Yao Ming and completely destroy the Knicks inside?"

He guessed correctly, Yang Rui planned to use extreme methods to deal with the Knicks. He didn't care about winning by a big score, he just wanted to help Yao Ming improve his statistics, disgust his opponents to the maximum extent, and slap Larry Brown's face to pieces.

The Knicks wanted to shoot from the outside, but the Lakers didn't care. They used 122 to shrink the zone defense and defend the penalty area.

Marbury passed the ball to Tim Thomas in the left corner, who took the ball and shot a three-pointer. Yao Ming failed to guard it and the ball went in. 18 to 13.

The Lakers attack, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant pick and roll in the high post. Kobe passes the ball to Yao Ming at the free throw line. Muhammad blocks in front of him without getting close to him. Yao Ming hits high and sends the ball from the opponent's head to the basket. .

Diop directly moved into the penalty area. He was 3cm tall and weighed 134kg, which was heavier than Yao Ming. His opponent, Kurt Thomas, is 206cm tall and weighs 104kg. Comparing their bodies, they look like a small forward defending a center.

Only O'Neal in the league is currently heavier than Diop, and even the Nets' Eddie Curry has reduced to 130 kilograms.

Yang Rui didn't believe that such a strong man couldn't develop any offensive power. As long as the tactics were right, he could score. Jerome James, who had a similar style at the time, had a double-double in a single game with the Raptors.

Diop only started practicing basketball when he was 15 years old, and his basic skills were extremely poor. However, in his last year of high school, he averaged 14.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 8.1 blocks per game, leading Oak Hill College to a record of 33 wins and 0 losses. He has no offensive skills. He has practiced using his body to attack the basket and often plays an alternative triple-double.

During the training camp, Yang Rui asked Diop about his playing style in high school, and then asked him to coach him in a deep position, use his strength to squeeze close to the basket to catch the ball with his back, and then turn around to shoot or dunk.

To put it simply, this guy is like Kawada Mikio in the slam dunk game, he only knows this way of scoring.

Diop has better physical fitness and more explosive power than Ogawada. And Kurt Thomas was obviously not Sakuragi Hanamichi. He was squeezed away and didn't even commit a foul at the basket. Diop turned around and dunked the ball with one hand.

20 to 13, Yao Ming added another assist!

When returning to defense, Yao Ming and Diop clapped their hands and smiled.

Yang Rui said that this game will make him an all-around fighter. He was not very confident at first, but now he understands that as long as his teammates cooperate and the tactics are appropriate, it is entirely possible. He has a high status in the Lakers.

The Knicks attacked, and Marbury broke through and passed the ball to Tim Thomas in the left corner.

Brown will ask his players to constantly attack the opponent's weak points. Kobe retreats to the bottom line to interfere, and Tim Thomas distributes the ball to Muhammad who is left open in the middle.

The embarrassment of blue-collar people is that they can't shoot when they are empty. The strange thing is that Larry Brown particularly likes this kind of people.

Muhammad took aim without taking a shot, and passed the ball to Marbury, who singled out Hoiberg in the middle and made a pull-up jumper. 20 to 15.

In the Lakers' position battle, Yao Ming set a pick-and-roll for Kobe, and Muhammad didn't know what to do. The coach arranged for him to play instead of Medvedenko, who has poor athletic ability, so that he can prevent Yao Ming's air cuts and block Kobe Bryant appropriately to prevent Kobe Bryant from easily breaking into the basket. Now Yao Ming can no longer cut, disrupting Brown's tactics.

After Kobe's pick-and-roll, he attracted Muhammad to pass to Yao Ming in the middle. Yao Ming didn't wait for the center to return and pushed the ball straight to the basket. The "madman" could not interfere with his passing.

Diop once again received the ball with his back and turned around. Thomas tried to get the ball from three directions but failed. Diop dunked the ball with both hands and scored!

22 to 15, Yao Ming’s second assist.

Ben Wallace has been forced to rest, and Kurt Thomas does not dare to foul easily to stop the opponent. If he also comes off the court, the Knicks will be weaker inside.

The Knicks attacked, and Marbury once again singled out, passing Hoiberg and making a jump shot. 22 to 17.

The Lakers wanted to play a tactic for the third time. Brown called for a change of position on the sidelines. Muhammad went to the low post to fight against Diop. The weight difference was 20 kilograms. He was stronger than Kurt Thomas and could not get to the basket so easily.

After Kobe observed the situation, he jumped to the right, turned 45 degrees to face the frame, and pointed his hand towards the low post.

Yao Ming understood the idea and went to the low post on the right to ask for the ball. Diop attracted the defense in the low post on the left.

Kobe lobbed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao's advantage over Kurt Thomas was too obvious. He leaned back and turned toward the baseline to shoot a jumper. He relied on his height advantage and small back to avoid the block, and the ball hit the net hollowly.

24 to 17, Yao Ming’s 20th point, he played like crazy!

Muhammad was far away on the other side and failed to form a double-team. To double-team a giant like Yao Ming, the only way was a side sneak attack. When he was with the Rockets, Yao Ming often used this method to attract double-teams and distribute the ball to Teammate shoots.

Yao Ming has not gained weight, and his confrontation is slightly worse than that of Yang Rui in his previous life. If he is defended by a strong man like Diop, he may lose his focus on protecting the ball and be disrupted in his shooting rhythm. Against Thomas, he has an absolute advantage in confrontation and his shooting rhythm. Perfect.

Larry Brown stared blankly at the court. Regret is actually very painful. He now has the absolute right to speak.

Not only all Chinese fans want to kill Brown, the Knicks owners and Knicks fans also want to kill Brown, delaying a potential star for two years. If Yao Ming's mental quality is not good, he may be useless.

Barkley said: "Yao Ming has just joined the Lakers for more than a month and has not played in the preseason. No matter how amazing Jerry is, his transformation is limited. He was able to play this kind of game today because of his super ability. Larry Brown was abandoned before, and that's outrageous."

Smith sighed: "Last season Jerry satirized Brown during the live broadcast of the game, and I said he was exaggerated. Now it seems that he is really not talking nonsense. Not only Yao Ming, Brown also played with Larry Hughes and John Sarr when he was with the 76ers. Mons can only be a marginal player, and once Brown left, they all played out."

Barkley said with a smile: "I don't know how the Knicks boss feels now. Brown's contract when he joined the Knicks was the same as when Jerry joined the Wizards. He was the highest-paid coach at the time. Now compared with him, Jerry's annual salary is tens of millions." Normal."
