In the fourth quarter of the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets, according to NBA game rules, the Houston Rockets attacked first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Point guard Scott Brooks dribbled the ball past half court and didn't stay, smashing left and right to hit the three-point line. A ground-and-ground pass to Robert Horry in which Scott Brooks passes the ball to Robert Horry before the Lakers players can make up defenses.

After a brilliant turn, Robert Horry made his way around the Lakers small forward and jumped to the mid-range shot.

The blow was fatal, Robert Horry's mid-range shot hit steadily, and after 20 minutes of play, Robert Horry had already found the state of the game.

At 104:48, the Houston Rockets took the lead.

After the goal, Robert Horry and others quickly returned to the defense. The five players on the pitch knew that defending was what they really had to do rather than attack.

In basketball, defense is a very important part, and doing well on offense may allow you to win one or two games, but if you do well defensively, you can win not as simple as one or two games. Because the NBA doesn't give players a joint defense now, the defense on the court is mostly one defense and one defense.

The NBA has developed for so many years, and it has long formed a set of effective defensive moves for one-on-one defense.

According to the characteristics of offensive players and the actual situation on the field, one-on-one defense is mainly divided into "comprehensive defense", "one-sided defense", "anti-change defense" and "close defense".

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles, the characteristics of the Lakers' main players Long Zheng didn't know, but Robert Horry did his homework for the five.

Knowing the difference in strength between the two sides, coupled with the fact that offense is always easier than defense, Robert Horry's five did not think of completely freezing the opponent's attack.

Their defense aims to reduce the opponent's shooting percentage through suitable defensive methods, and reduce or even eliminate the opportunity for opposing players to shoot in the open space.

After all, there are only a few players with such a terrifying shooting rate as Long Zheng, and there is not a single one in the Lakers. The five players on the court believe that if they can do both, they will be able to effectively control the Lakers' rapid scoring.

As a bench player, including Robert Horry, all five have plenty of stamina, and with plenty of stamina, a good attitude and solid basketball skills, that's enough for a defender.

The Lakers' continuous passing of the ball could not penetrate the Rockets' defense, seeing that the offensive time passed minute by minute, as a last resort, the Lakers small forward jumped and shot in the face of Robert Horry's effective defense.

In this defensive "test", Robert Horry scored first.

......

As soon as the clock turned, the six-minute game passed quickly.

At 8:10, the Rockets were in front and the Lakers were behind, which was the result of six minutes for both teams. The defensive Robert Horry five did a good job of preventing the Lakers' offense and didn't give the Lakers to catch up. At this time, the score of the two teams came to 110:58.

As soon as the six-minute game time came, the Rockets immediately made substitutions.

After the substitutions of center Hakim Olajuwon, power forward Otis Thorpe, small forward Mario Elie, scoring guard Ryu Jung, and point guard Kenny Smith, the Rockets' on-court lineup is exactly the same as the starting lineup. At the same time, this is also the most offensive combination of the Rockets' offensive firepower.

After the substitution, the Rockets attacked first.

In order to break the Lakers players' encirclement and interception of Long Zheng, the Rockets deliberately accelerated the pace of the game and created a mobile opportunity for Long Zheng through "running and shooting" and "cross-running".

Small forward Mario Eli and power forward Otis Thorpe are the left and right pioneers of the Dragons. On the court, one step ahead of Long Zheng to "open the way" for him, under the rampage, the Lakers' encirclement and interception of Long Zheng is difficult to work.

At Staples Arena, 18,997 spectators were stunned. Is this basketball what we're watching, and how does it feel more like football?

I saw that on the huge basketball court, there were six people gathered around Long Zheng, two Rockets players from small forward Mario Elli and big forward Otis Thorpe, plus four opposing players from the Lakers big forward, small forward, scoring guard, and point guard. What's really amazing is that the Lakers chased and blocked Long Zheng did not have the ball, but the basketball was in the hands of point guard Kenny Smith not far away.

Not far from the Dragons Seven, point guard Kenny Smith and center Hakeem Olajuwon faced off against the Lakers center. 2vs1, at this time, if the two attack directly to the basket, then it is impossible for the Lakers center to defend two and prevent the offense of the two. It's a pity that the Rockets have done so much, including substitutions, just to help Ryuzheng improve his personal single-game scoring record.

In the case that the outcome of the game is decided, if the two of them score directly, it will not play any role except for wasting the offensive attack.

Glancing at Long Zheng, center Hakim Olajuwon suddenly stepped forward to block for him, and with the help of Olajuwon's cover and the effective support of small forward Mario Elie and power forward Otis Thorpe, Long Zheng finally pulled out the vacant position.

......

When the man arrived, the ball arrived, and Kenny Smith, the point guard who always paid attention to the state of Long Zheng, did not hold back, and when he saw Long Zheng pull out the empty space, Kenny Smith immediately passed the ball over.

Attacking the frontcourt, Long Zheng took a step back to the three-point line, adjusted slightly, and between the Lakers players pounced, Long Zheng decisively jumped up and shot from a distance.

Hit a three-point shot steadily, the score came to 113:58, and Long Zheng's personal score reached 81 points, successfully surpassing Chamberlain's 78 points as the second person in history to score in a single game, and alone held the second personal single-game scoring record in history.

With 5 minutes and 48 seconds left in the game, Long Zheng scored 81 points and was attacking Chamberlain's record of 100 points in a single game.

After scoring the goal, the Rockets players did not retreat, and directly used full-court pressing in the opponent's half.

Full-court pressing, this is a technique and tactic that head coach Rudy Tomjanovic has long thought of, in order to directly steal and attack in the frontcourt, and full-court pressing is an effective means for the Rockets to speed up the pace of the game.

Full-court pressing is a great test of the player's physical strength, generally when the game reaches the fourth quarter, the scores of both teams are very tight, and there is not much time, or in the fourth quarter, a team is leading, and there is not much time, and when you want to use foul tactics, you will use full-court pressing. Strictly speaking, the Rockets' frontcourt pressing is different. (To be continued.) )
