Chapter 85: Chuck Hayes's Prayer
In the first half of the game, Qin Zheng only played six minutes before he left the game, and now Dunleavy has made up his mind that unless it is a particularly important game, it is impossible for Qin Zheng to play more than 40 minutes in other games, and it is best to control it at 36 minutes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
That means 18 minutes in the first half, 18 minutes in the second half, and 20 minutes in the second half if necessary.
In short, Qin Zheng will basically play the whole game in the first quarter, only six or seven minutes in the second quarter, about ten minutes in the third quarter, and ten minutes in the last quarter.
In the first half, Qin Zheng didn't score very high, only 14 points, but 12 rebounds, after all, no one on the Rockets was his opponent.
But through Dunleavy's words, Qin Zheng understood that in the first half, the Clippers grabbed a total of 21 rebounds, and the opposite Rockets grabbed 25 rebounds.
Even Camby, known as a blocking expert and data maniac, only grabbed 6 rebounds.
Whoever made Hayes stare at him and entangled him, preferring not to grab the rebound himself than to let Camby grab the rebound.
The angry Camby almost wanted to give Hayes an old punch.
"We can't do that in the second half, Byron, in the second half, we have to strengthen the breakthrough, if you're tired, let Telfair come on, he's faster than you, he should be better at defending Brooks than you, if Kyle Lowry comes on, it's changing you to defend him." Dunleavy first arranged for Davis to defend Kyle Lowry, after all, both of them are stronger bugs, and Brooks, a small man with a speed of 183, was handed over to Terfair, who is also very fast at the same height, and Terfell is more experienced than Brooks, after all, how old is three years of competition.
As for Elsorton, Dunleavy arranged for him to defend Ariza, preferring neither of them to score, but also to strangle the Rockets' current No. 1 scoring point.
Although the remaining Hayes and Landry can score, their scoring ability is not very strong, so there is no need to worry, as for Scola, leave it to Camby or Qin Zheng to clean up.
At the start of the third quarter, the Rockets' lineup was the same as it was at the beginning, with five starters, and the same was true for the Clippers.
"Bill, I didn't expect today's game to be like this." Mark Jackson sighed with emotion and sighed.
Unexpectedly, the Clippers, who occupy the right time and place, failed to take away the Rockets in waves.
"The Rockets were resilient defensively today, and they had a lot of luck today." Bill Wharton summed up today's game.
That's right, the Rockets are just lucky not to be too far ahead.
"But in my opinion, the Rockets can't last long, and he really doesn't have an advantage against the Clippers on the inside." As a great top 50 center player, Bill Walton of course chose the Clippers, after all, the four two-meter-one-zero big men have a deterrent effect at that stop, except for Jordan Jr., who has no finishing ability, whether it is Qin Zheng, Carman and Camby are very offensive and defensive.
This is also the reason why Bill Walton likes the Clippers, after all, now that the center is in decline, how ecstatic he is to have a team that focuses on the interior.
For Bill Wharton, the biggest role of the center, the inside, is defense, rebounding and stable output scoring, even the Bulls of the year, it was controlled two of them to achieve a dynasty, and the Celtics, who he was later in, himself and Parish, and McHale, also made all the teams dare not break through to the inside, except for the short-legged stunned green.
The game also went as Bill Wharton hoped, on the court, in the face of the Rockets' low-headed inside, Qin Zheng was a bug, his shooting, not to mention that Hayes couldn't defend, it was Yao Ming coming, and there was nothing to do.
In the face of Qin Zheng's mid-range shot, Hayes wanted to cry without tears, and finally survived Carman's basket hook, and then met an excellent mid-range pitcher, who faced Yao Ming's pain back then, and staged it again.
Forgotten Yao Ming was injured and was about to retire, and this league did not have that kind of technical traditional center, but suddenly there was a non-traditional technical center.
However, non-traditional centre-forwards can also play very traditionally.
For example, the half-turned small hook hand after Qin Zheng hit Hayes on his back just now is faster than Yao Ming's small hook hand, and the action is still hidden.
Hayes almost wanted to say that it was better to let Kaman come up, there was nothing he could do.
But how could Qin Zheng let him get his wish, catch a player who was strong but not enough in size, and he didn't fight hard.
"I'd rather defend O'Neill without such a playful person." Compared with O'Neal, who doesn't have much mid-range shooting ability, Hayes has excellent upper body strength, even if O'Neal is now more obese, but he can block him, but he doesn't want to be like this, obviously he has used his strength to eat, but he still can't stop it, and Qin Zheng doesn't hit the basket to play hook hands every time he attacks, and sometimes he shoots directly at a high position.
The height of the shot, the arc of the basketball flying, Hayes still thought of Yao Ming.
"Yao, Yao, why are you injured? Otherwise, you can now confront your fellow citizens. If Yao Ming could hear Hayes's prayers, it is estimated that there will be eighteen approvals.
Instead of resisting people under the basket, Yao Ming still hopes that he can continue to play on the basketball court.
In the third quarter of the game, because Qin Zheng strengthened his offense, the score of the Clippers against the Rockets became higher and higher, and the score difference of the lead score became larger and wider.
From a 4-point lead at the beginning, by the time Qin Zheng left the game in the ninth minute, it had become a 13-point lead.
If according to past experience, the fourth quarter of the Rockets is not to worry, the Rockets were able to turn the tables in the last quarter only a handful, except for Maddie's miracle can be remembered, the rest, Qin Zheng does not remember the Rockets have any well-known fourth-quarter comeback games.
It's good not to be taken away by other teams in waves, and expect the Rockets to turn the tables? Qin Zheng really wanted to say a word of dreaming.
With slow confidence, Qin Zheng sat on the bench, and after taking a sip of Gatorade, he also communicated with the players around him, but the good times did not last long, and the Clippers' benches were not opponents of the Rockets' benches.
In the remaining three minutes, the Rockets played a wave, 10:0, if it wasn't for the last Camby to shoot a mid-range shot, it is estimated that the Clippers would have been tied by the Rockets.
Shaking his head helplessly, Qin Zheng can be regarded as dead to the substitutes of the Clippers, it is really muddy that can't support the wall!
