Chapter 80: An Awkward Match

If Maddie's offense made the Eagles very embarrassed, and if they took care of one or the other, then Yao Ming's existence was even more embarrassing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In recent years, with the addition of Big Van Gundy, Yao Ming's weight has become higher and higher, and the deterrent power of the low post has become stronger and stronger.

Medium shot, hook hand, was turned around and jumped, Yao Ming's height and weight were all dominant, and he had no choice but to take root.

How important is it to have a reliable big man on the inside? The big man on the inside is not only a high success rate of strong play on the inside and attracts defense, but more importantly, it is a problem of protecting the rim and rebounding. If you have an interior line that is good at rim protection and strong rebounding, you will have a much higher shooting percentage from the outside. Because this will form a hint to the pitcher, there are rebounds on the inside, it doesn't matter if you miss, and there are second opportunities to attack, so that the shooting will be easier and the shooting will be higher.

Basketball is a whole game, and many times the details determine success or failure.

After Yao Ming gained weight, the low-post offensive strength was very strong, and even when he played against Shak O'Neal, the league's first center, Yao Ming had the upper hand, although many people boasted that Yao Ming was the first center, which was a little unrealistic, but Yao Ming restrained Shak O'Neal in terms of technical and physical characteristics, which is undoubted, and Yao Ming is definitely the top three center in the league in terms of strength, there is no doubt about it.

Maddie and Yao Ming opened up inside and outside, and the Hawks' defense was weak.

The defense was weak and there weren't necessarily many chances on the offensive end, with Joe Johnson and Sean Lee finding multiple chances to score, but that's about it, with the scores alternating from the start. The Rockets quickly took the lead.

Sean didn't see how well David Woodson tweaked the team's defense, but on the offensive end, the Hawks simply couldn't bear to look at it.

Against the Rockets, either the inside and outside defense is very strong, and can limit Yao Ming and Maddie a little, or simply and rudely play fast offense, as long as Yao Ming is on the court, the speed of the Rockets will definitely not be fast.

But David Woodson is still stubbornly tweaking the team's defense.

Well, the Eagles' defense has been a lot better during this period, and there has been some improvement in help defense and rotation, but it's not a way to win at all. When the Rockets took the first timeout in the first quarter, Sean couldn't help but speak:

"Coach, let's play fast attack!"

David Woodson was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then replaced Zaza, and the team played a fast-break strategy.

The Eagles' tactics are to break fast, rather than attacking more sharply, which is not only the head coach's arrangement, but also the team's own lineup and tactical drills. Bombardment requires a lot of players who can shoot blue to open up space, so that they can use their speed to attack the basket directly, and conversely, the offense under the basket also attracts attention to the outside shooter.

The best bombardment in recent seasons is the Suns, which has a lot to do with the team's lineup.

The game started again.

Sean paused slightly after receiving the ball, and directly made a long pass that spanned most of the field, Josh Smith directly received the ball with a violent dunk, and the Rockets had no one to defend under the basket, Yao Ming had just passed halftime, and Juwan Howard ...... At this time, it is no longer at its peak, and the defense is very poor.

The Rockets attacked, and they were slow to enter the half.

Josh Childis defended Maddy, was passed by Maddy in one step, Sean assisted in the defense, Maddy's pull-up jump shot missed, and Sean just jumped up to get the rebound. The counterattack began, and Sean picked up speed and rushed to the other half.

The Rockets quickly returned to defense, but ...... The effect is not great at all.

Maddie was worried, listless, as if he was taking a walk on the court, Yao Ming's speed dropped greatly after gaining weight, and he ran at all, Juwan Howard was old, and his defense was not good, and Sean directly faked his shot after half time, and the three-point shot was shot smoothly.

Sou!

The basketball went into the net smoothly, and Sean didn't look at the small forward who defended himself.

I don't know what the name of this small forward is, but he doesn't look young, he is an old fritter, he has a lot of small movements, and most of the time he is defending Sean's breakthrough, Sean used his speed to force an overtaking breakthrough before, which made this small forward very depressed.

In retrospect, the Rockets are still playing slowly.

Maddie attacked with the ball and scored a dry goal, which was greeted with a lot of applause.

The Eagles continued to break fast, with a fairly high success rate, and the score was close again, with Sean leading the team with his offense and passing. But when Sean came off the court at the end of the second quarter, an awkward scene appeared.

The Eagles once again fell into the situation of attacking the position, although Yao Ming did not play, but a wave of 24-6 points directly decided the outcome of the game.

In the final quarter, Sean made 3-of-6 three-pointers and still couldn't lead the team to victory.

On the road, the Eagles lost again.

Sean got 22 points, 10 assists and 4 rebounds in the whole game, which was good enough, but he couldn't do anything, Maddie had 25 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Yao Ming 25 points and 12 rebounds, driven by Yao Ming, the Rockets had six double-doubles, and the Hawks did not complain.

Although the game was very depressing, after the game, Yao Ming still invited guests to dinner, and the venue was Yao Restaurant.

"I heard the team is going to trade you?" As soon as Yao Ming opened his mouth, it was a very abrupt news, but Sean did not hide it: "Yes, I am not happy playing in the team, you see that I and the coach, the players don't get along at all, and I want to change teams." ”

Yao Ming nodded and explained the source of the news.

Similar to Nowitzki's news, as the team's boss and core, the team will ask the team boss about any trade ideas, or potential trades. Nowitzki got the news, and so did Yao Ming.

It is estimated that among other teams, there are some core teams with trade tendencies who have also gotten the same news.

"If only you could come and pass the ball to me, I wouldn't be so tired." Yao Ming smiled bitterly in a low voice, his face depressed. The Rockets did not have a return pass, and in this game, half of Yao Ming's possession was Zhu Wan Howard hanging the ball on the side, and such a pass was actually very embarrassing.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to a team that can only be the core of the outside, and it's better that the inside line is not the type of you and O'Neal, otherwise I'll be on the outside every day watching you fight the inside." Sean laughed and gaged.

Yao Ming is embarrassed, and the current trend of the development of the alliance is like this.

Centers are becoming less and less popular, small forwards, scoring guards, and point guards are getting stronger and stronger, and the future league must be that the outside line is king, and the outside line that can pass the ball well to the inside line is very strong, and there is no need to find a boss to sit on his head.

So it's really hard for the Rockets to find a role player who can be a role player and have a guard player who is good at passing.
