Did YES break the Houston Rockets' recent monstrous chain defense?

Of course not.

In the first quarter, Yes's actions on the court were at best a crackdown on the chain defense, and Artest's small action harassment.

The Rockets' chain defense, everyone's style of leading the defense is different.

When Roy led the rocket chain defense, he was the most peaceful, Roy's defense was very good, Huang Mamba was moving closer to the Mamba everywhere, and the defense was no exception, but Roy's defense was less ruthless than Kobe, so when Roy led the rocket chain defense against Paul, he was relatively elegant and peaceful.

As for Maddy, he hasn't led the chain defense in the playoffs so far.

Compared to Roy, Artest was the most aggressive and dirtiest when he led the chain defense.

Kobe Bryant was bullied by several of the Rockets' major wing players in turn, and finally collapsed after being bullied exhausted.

Kobe Bryant, who is so physically strong, only persevered until the fifth game, which is definitely not just Kobe's lack of physical strength in the game.

It's that most of Kobe's physical strength is used for small movements with Artest!

Assuming that Kobe's physical strength is 99, Kobe's 1 point of physical strength is placed on defense, which can prevent the opponent from scoring 1 point, and Kobe's 1 point of defense is placed on offense, which can score one more point for himself, and what if Kobe's little physical strength is consumed on small movements with Artest?

That Kobe's 1 point of physical strength, no benefit can be generated, at most it succeeds, it will leave its own mark on Artest's body, if it fails, it may not be tarnished by Artest.

It's quite a cost-outs.

With Kobe Bryant's wit, it is impossible for him not to figure out this layer, his physical strength, if it is only used to play, will definitely not just last five games.

It's just that in the face of a defense like the Rockets, even if he doesn't want to spend too much physical strength on these, he can't help himself.

In the matter of small actions, the first to flirt with it, and the lateer does not fight, then it can really only be beaten by the other party.

The opponent wants to elbow you, and if you don't fight, then you can only be elbowed by the opponent.

Kobe Bryant had to face it.

Unless Kobe's elbow skill is higher than Artest, and it is much higher, it can hurt Artest.

But...... It's a pity that Kobe Bryant doesn't have that strong elbow skills.

Moreover, one thing that can help Artest to be undefeated is that most of Kobe's 99 points of physical strength are used to lead the Lakers on the offensive and defensive ends.

As for Artest, even if his physical strength is only 95 points, his physical strength can be used for small movements with 90 points.

Score?

He can get it or he can't, and the Rockets haven't been forced to the point where they have to let Artest score to win.

And that's why Kobe Bryant played extremely miserable in the last round of the playoffs with the Rockets.

Kobe Bryant is not reckless, but Artest forced Kobe to be a reckless man who keeps doing useless work in the game, and Kobe is not reckless.

This time, Artest repeated the same trick, but the final effect was quite unsuccessful.

In every clash between him and Yes in the first quarter, it was always him who lost in the end.

He didn't even win once!

If he just didn't win, he was okay with it.

He is a mad dog, and he himself knows that as long as the limited physical strength of yes is used more for useless work, he is willing to fall down again and again, and get down on one knee again and again.

But......

Artest, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the bench on the other side, and his eyes were still full of shock.

The terrible thing about yes is that after every time he fails in an elbow fight, yes can make him pay!

This made him a little uncomfortable!

In the first quarter, how many of those elbow goals did yes throw in front of him after beating him?

Artest's head is really a little cloudy right now.

He's not a big brain, but he's not a fool either.

If it weren't for the elbow skill being higher than he didn't know how many levels, how could there be such a strong performance?

For example, in the contest between him and Bowen two years ago, Bowen was able to punish him after winning the elbow, and he was able to punish Bowen after winning the elbow?

Of course it's impossible!

Regardless of whether his elbow skills are strong or Bowen's elbow skills are strong, the two are of the same level, and the elbow forest masters of one level can only defeat each other, and cannot punish each other like a god.

He, Kobe, Bowen, or even any other elbow master is the same.

But yes!

He is really already the leader of the Elbow Forest Alliance above all the elbow forest masters!

In this series, Artest wants to snatch back the title of the leader of the Elbow Forest League.

But this game was only played in the first quarter, and Artest knew that he would probably never get the title of the leader of the Elbow Forest League.

yes Now the elbow skill has arrived, and the elbow in front of him must be punished by the 'elbow emperor' realm!

Elbow Emperor, Elbow God!

An elbow emperor who has only played less than 200 games and is less than 21 years old!

This shock to Artest, who has been in the elbow forest all his life, is really unbelievable.

Seeing Artest like this, Gerard Wallace next to him was a little incredible.

In the past, after Artest was provoked on the court, he was sure to see water, either his own water or the opponent's water.

It is not easy to suppress Artest's anger.

But this time, yes didn't see water, Artest didn't see water, Artest lost so badly in the end, and he didn't give up.

Rather, it was shockingly accepted.

What does this mean?

This means that Artest is instigated!

In the face of Kobe, Artest, who had not been instigated, was directly cowardly in the elbow after facing a whole section of lessons!

Gerard Wallace followed Artest's shocked gaze to the Seattle SuperSonics bench with the same shock in his eyes.

At this time, Artest's mind was full of 'Elbow Emperor, Elbow God!' ’

And Gerard Wallace's mind was all about 'Horror!' ’

It wasn't until the head coach of the Rockets, Adelman, called Artest's name that the two came to their senses from such a state.

"Everybody's doing well in the first quarter, but on the defensive end we need to control the movement, Ron, you can continue to increase the defensive intensity, but the extra movement is not necessary."

After Adelman, who was paralyzed, said that the other Rockets players were actually a little worried.

Artest in the rocket is a barrel of explosives that has never exploded.

Just because he never exploded doesn't mean he's not a barrel of dynamite.

In the first quarter, Artest was played so badly by yes.

Now Adelman has asked Artest to admit it, Artest's character, can he really endure it?

This is not to explode directly!

It can only be said that Adelman is still as straight as ever, just like when he directly let Yao Ming lose weight and let Maddie defend more.

"Well, I see, Rick."

“……”

Seeing that Artest directly agreed to Adelman's request, the entire Rockets' bench was a little quiet for a while.

Is this still the fierce Artest?

Is this still the Artest who advertises himself as a ruthless person in everything he does?

Artest respects Adelman very much, and he will agree to Adelman's request, and everyone actually wants it.

But it's a little strange that you agreed so simply, so undetached from the water, and even looked like you would do it even if you didn't tell me.

Not to mention Yao Ming, Maddie and Roy, they find it incredible.

Even Adelman himself is a little incredible.

However, as a facial paralysis, although I was surprised in my heart, the expression on my face was naturally expressionless.

Adelman's eyes, though, looked slightly to the other side.

At this time, in front of the Rockets' bench, the players were a little shocked in their hearts, and on the side of the Seattle SuperSonics, the players were in a good mood, and in the first quarter of the game, the team led by 4 points against the powerful Rockets.

Although we all know that both teams are still in the tentative stage, and they both want to see how big the opponent's strength is, it is always a good thing to be able to take the lead away from home.

"After the Seattle supersonic swept the Sun, the world is not very clear about the true strength of supersound."

"And in the playoffs, after the Rockets used the wolf pack tactics of chain defense, Kobe Bryant only lasted five games, and the world didn't know where the Rockets' defensive limits were."

"Director Zhang, when do you think the mutual testing of rockets and hypersonics will end?"

"It's hard to say, but now it's the Western Conference Finals, and it makes sense for the two teams to be more cautious, and when the Rockets don't do the dirty work with Artest, the Rockets' testing will be over."

In fact, Zhang would like to add that Adelman is a very old coach who likes to test his opponents.

To test his opponent, he lost the first game against the Thunder.

In order to test his opponent, he lost the first game with the Lakers, and even when the Lakers were eliminated, he did not force the strongest rocket, and Kobe Bryant has been entangled in small actions with Artest throughout the series.

Adelman is a manager who is willing to pay the price of victory in order to test the limits of his opponents.

But in the face of the Seattle SuperSonics, Zhang felt that Adelman would not dare to hand over any victory!

Therefore, he felt that in this game, the test of the two teams would definitely end soon.

The starting test of the two teams has just ended, and now it is the turn of the substitutes, and the substitutes of the two teams are finished, I am afraid it will be ......

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang's eyes were attracted by the substitutes of the two teams on the court.

The bench players who are now on the court and representing the Seattle SuperSonics are Barria, Quentin Richardson, Wilkins, David Lee and Nick Collison, and it's a pure bench lineup.

The same is true for the Rockets on the other side, Aaron Brooks, Mike James, Ariza, Scola, Landry.

"In the NBA, there are very few teams that can play all the bench players on their rotation, and the Houston Rockets and Seattle SuperSonics are two of them!"

It takes courage to be able to come off the bench in the rotation.

In this year's regular season, the Rockets and the SuperSonics are undoubtedly the most courageous.

Both teams spend the most time on the bench in terms of rotation time.

And this time, Adelman and Nelson Sr. seemed to be on the full bench as if they were inconsistent.

And this time, the style of the two people who are all substitutes is the same.

The bench lineup on the Rockets' side is not on Mutombo, and there is no Shanghai yes, this is offensive!

And on the Seattle SuperSonics side, there is no Sessions, no Tucker, no Kwame Brown, this is also offensive!

And the bench lineups of the two teams are extremely similar in terms of offensive types.

Aaron Brooks, Scola and Landry.

Barria, David Lee and Nick Collisson.

Aaron Brooks and Barria are both offensive speedy, well-rounded, and quite 'exciting' in their style of play, of course, Barria is relatively reasonable and prefers to organize his teammates.

And Scola and David Lee are both offensive power forwards, with excellent footwork and offensive skills, but Scola has better defense, footwork and technique.

And what about Landry and Nick Collisson?

Both are rebounding maniacs, both are good on the inside, Landry is relatively more athletic, Nick Collison is better defensively, and both are ball quotients.

"I didn't expect the style of the two teams' rotation lineups to be so similar?!"

"I used to think that the Seattle SuperSonics liked to die with full substitutions in rotation time, but I didn't expect that in the face of the Rockets, who are the strongest substitutes in the league, Seattle's full bench lineup was not too far behind!"

"While everyone is watching the growth of Durant and Rondo under the cultivation of yes, we should also pay attention to these bench players of the Seattle SuperSonics!"

After the rotation of the two teams started, the old Nelson and Adelman's brows were locked, and the eyes of the two were watching the situation on the court intently.

"The strength of our bench is really not as good as the Rockets!"

"Our bench is not strong enough than the SuperSonics!"

Almost at the same time, Adelman and Nelson Sr. looked at each other.

The fleeting eye contact was a bit of a surprise to both of them, and it also made it clear to both of them that this series might not be so simple.

Halfway through the second quarter, when the score on the court was changed between the two teams, both teams changed their starting lineups.

"The test is over, and we can finally see both teams showing their fangs!"

Is this the end of the test?

Su Skirt was a little surprised by the excitement of Director Zhang beside her.

When he looked at the court, he was stunned!

This momentum!

When the game restarted in the second quarter, the Rockets' defensive formation changed abruptly!

"This black cloud is overwhelming the momentum of the city!"

"The Rockets' defensive momentum is all directed at yes!"

"What the rocket is going to destroy is yes!"

Is this the final form of the Houston Rockets' chain defense?

Bryant looked at the picture on TV, his hands were already clenched into fists.

On TV, yes seems to be like a lonely boat under the momentum of the rocket!

Well?

It's not a lonely boat!

"That's ...... Durant?! ”

Looking at the player on the pitch who was slowly advancing with the ball, Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at each other......
