Chapter 714: Artest's Abacus!
The Rockets' bench and the Lakers' bench are two opposite examples, the Lakers were very strong in offense and average in defense, and the Lakers' bench players were generally not very defensive!
On the contrary, the Rockets basically have no offensive ability, they are all players who can resist with good defense, what do you think about meat shield players like Hayes, only Karl Landry and Bunch Wells have good offensive ability, in fact, there was a three-point Steve Novak before, but he was traded by Morey when he traded Artest!
The Lakers are actually changing to this situation, but the Zen master still wants to retain the offensive ability of the bench team, so the defensive training requirements of the Zen master substitute players on the training court are strict!
As for the others, including the newcomers Shannon Brown and Robin Lopez, they don't have any requirements, after all, they are traded because they have their own characteristics! Shannon Brown is a strong impact, and he rushes very hard when he plays fast attacks!
However, the performance of Robin Lopez and Sun Dasheng made the Zen master very excited, these two people are also both offensive and defensive, have mid-range shots, and good defensive ability, but they are the candidates that the Zen master needs!
This is also the reason why Sun Dasheng's playing time in these two games has increased, and Sun Dasheng himself has felt this change, and he is also training harder!
Back on the court, the offense of the substitutes is nothing to look at, one side is attacking and the other is defending, and it can be regarded as attacking each other! The Rockets' bench lineup is relatively targeted against the Lakers' bench lineup! Although the Lakers bench players played their own offensive rhythm, the score was not pulled apart!
Van Gundy is also very pleased to see this situation, and he is very satisfied with this transaction!

After coming off the bench, the main players of the two teams played! The current score on the court is: 38:42! The Lakers lead the opponent by 4 points!
The 4-point gap is still not much of a point difference for the second quarter of the game that has just been played for 5 minutes! The game continues, the ball of the Rockets, Maddie controls the ball over the half court, and asks for a cover for Artest, Artest's strong body blocks Kobe Bryant outside, Maddy takes advantage of the situation to kill the inside, and Battier goes over to make up for the defense!
I saw Maddy's footsteps suddenly stopped, Battier was a little confused, at a glance, Maddie's rhythm changed, and when Battier didn't react, he started directly again, and the speed was so fast that Battier gave Battier over in an instant!
At this time, He Yiming wanted to go out to make up for the defense, but Da Yao saw through He Yiming's intentions and stuck directly in front of He Yiming! By the time He Yiming got rid of Da Yao, Maddie had already made a quick stop jump shot! Gasol on the other side was also unable to catch up, he had just been pulled out of the inner line, and he couldn't return to the defense in time!
"Brush!" The ball scored, and the Rockets took advantage of the situation to recover two points!
However, the Lakers were not to be outdone, Kobe Bryant broke through Artest's defense again, and then stopped and scored a goal!
The game continued, and the Rockets also developed their own offensive strength, Maddie assisted Da Yao, Da Yao attracted He Yiming's defense, and gave the ball to Artest at the three-point line, Artest made a three-point shot, and the ball actually went in, He Yiming couldn't imagine that Artest, a rough man, still had a three-point hand!
But it's not just Artest who has three points, He Yiming himself also has three points. Switching offense and defense, He Yiming did not go in to get into the card position with Da Yao this time, but helped Kobe Bryant make a cover to help him block Maddie, and he moved directly to the 30° angle three-point line on the right side!
Kobe Bryant cut into the inside line, Artest pounced directly to make up for the defense, this time his position is very good, if he is an ordinary person, he may stop directly to make up the defense, or he will choose to pass the ball directly!
However, Kobe Bryant is not an ordinary person, he directly turned around and stuck Artest's position to pass, Artest was a little anxious, and directly stretched out his left hand on Kobe's abdomen, which was done to make Kobe turn around a little slower!
But this action is illegal, it's a bit like going to the card house to retreat, if you are not careful, there is a risk of breaking the leg directly! This action is the same, if Kobe does not dodge, Artest will use force, Kobe's ribs will be hit hard!
But Artest didn't use any force, and Kobe Bryant also dodged it directly! But with such a flash, Kobe had no chance to break into the inside, and Da Yao on the inside line was already prepared!
At this time, when Kobe Bryant saw He Yiming's position, he directly gave the ball to He Yiming with a horizontal pass! He Yiming received the ball and opened his hand to make a three-point shot! The referee signaled that the three points were valid! But Artest's foul action was not blown by the referee!
Artest glanced at He Yiming, not knowing what he was thinking about!
The Lakers also responded with a three-pointer, and the scores of the two sides have been hovering between 2 and 4 points! The game continued, and both teams played well offensively!
The Rockets did not boo the Lakers' offense, and continued to proceed at their own pace, Maddy scored three points, broke through the goal, and Da Yao also responded to two shots, both of which were hit! Artest also showed his true ability and also scored 3 points!
The Lakers also responded one by one! Kobe Bryant broke through to the basket, or made a quick stop, and stepped back to shoot a jumper! He Yiming also scored two goals on the inside, He Yiming didn't go out inside, and Gasol had space!
Gasol hit one after another outside the penalty area, one inside and one outside, making the Rockets' interior players a little uncomfortable! The Lakers' interior strength was undoubtedly revealed at this moment! At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams came to 44:50! The Lakers led the opponent by 6 points into the second half! "Toot!" Listening to the whistle, Artest returned to his position, looked up at the score and silently calculated something in his heart!
