662:Dream Dance Steps
Howard was humiliated as soon as he came up, and although he was not directly opposite Link, he would inevitably be compared by everyone.
Link easily scored on Parsons' head, in a super-giant style. Howard was forced to hook his hands under Gasol's defense, and he was embarrassed.
Howard is certainly not reconciled, he can count on this game to turn over, and he must not mess up.
But he also understands that he can't be impatient. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. So this offense, Howard didn't ask for the ball in the low post, he obediently mentioned the high post, and met Harden's need to call for blocking.
But I don't know if Harden just went to a nightclub yesterday, and his mid-range pullup jump shot is ridiculously small.
The basketball hit the front of the basket and was too short. If this ball is shot outside the three-point line, it is estimated that it will be a three-point no-touch.
That's how Harden is in shape, sometimes good and sometimes bad. When it's good, he can pat his chest and say he's the league's No. 1 quarterback. After all, Kobe Bryant is old now, and there is really no better ability than Harden in the new generation of quarterbacks.
But when it's bad, Harden's efficiency can be so low that you wonder if he'll play.
Obviously, Harden was in very average form today. As an NBA-level player, shooting so short is no longer a problem of feel, but a problem with the whole physical condition.
Howard almost punched Harden in the head, I'll give you a pick-and-roll, and you're going to respond to me with this?
Not to block next time!
The duo of Harden and Howard is nowhere near as close as people think.
Kobe and O'Neal also didn't deal with each other back then, but the contradictions they put on the surface may sometimes be better than the contradictions buried in their hearts.
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal were in a falling out at the time, but the ball still had to be played well. The hidden dissatisfaction of Howard and Harden will affect their cooperation on the court.
Both of the Rockets' biggest stars shot, but none of them hit. It was found that the actual course of the game was completely different from what was imagined.
I thought that Howard and Harden would fight to the death at the Federal Express Arena, and the Rockets would unite to defend the glory of the Rockets.
But for now, the Rockets don't have that kind of determination at all. Howard and Harden have their own ghosts, and they are not on the same front at all.
When the offense fails, Howard wants to get back on the defensive end. If Link breaks through, he definitely won't have any chance of blocking.
As a result, this time, the Grizzlies played the ball to Gasol and let Gasol single Howard in the low post!
There is no doubt that this behavior annoyed Howard greatly! Once, as the best defensive player, people couldn't hide when they saw him. It's good now, I actually took the initiative to come to the door!
The Grizzlies didn't mean to be angry with Howard by doing this, and Joggle wasn't that annoying.
The reason why he arranged for Gasol to play Howard alone was entirely out of tactical considerations.
Howard's defense is really good, and even now, he can often put on a big show.
But if Howard is up against a center like Gasol with a big tonnage, tall height and good technique, the defense will be very difficult.
First of all, Howard's height does not have an advantage, and secondly, Howard's weak lower body strength makes it difficult for him to withstand the impact of such a heavy center. Back then, Yao Ming took advantage of these advantages and frequently blew up Howard in the low position.
Although Gasol's strength is not as good as Yao Ming's now, as a center with a similar style to Yao Ming, he still has an advantage in playing Howard.
In the 09-10 season, Howard, who was still subversive, repeatedly suffered losses from the young Gasol. Basically, every time Gasol and Howard played each other, the offense played smoothly.
Joggle and Snyder have studied all of their previous head-to-head records, and from the time Gasol entered the league to the present, as long as he plays Howard, then his shooting percentage in that game will not be less than 60%!
On the other hand, Howard, even during the Magic period, was once defended by Gasol with a shooting rate of only 38%.
Gasol lived up to expectations, calmly hooking up and scoring after two hard shots in the low post.
Now that there is no need for Link to make a move, Gasol alone can compare Howard.
The Rockets' strongest point on the defensive end has instead become one of the Grizzlies' key offensive targets!
"There's nothing Dwight can do about that ball, and his bouncing advantage doesn't play out in that situation. 5-0, the Rockets played very passively from the beginning. If they want to hold on to their league-first opening streak, they'll have to work harder. ”
Howard is now completely blinded by rage, how fierce he roared before the game, and how embarrassed he is now.
Why did the trash talk of people like Bird, Jordan and even Link become classics? Not just because of their clever diction, but because they always bring what they squirt out to life.
Bird said that you are all here to fight for second, and he can take first. Link said that if you don't want to go back alive today, the Grizzlies will definitely win.
And Howard threatened to protect his honor before the game, but now he has been blown up one after another, which makes him very embarrassed.
Trash talk that can't be sprayed with action is no different from shrews scolding the street.
Howard sat in the low seat again, and this time, he vowed to be ashamed!
The Rockets' offensive routines are really not many, and McHale is not a master tactician. Even if he is, with the current strength of the rocket, he can't execute too complicated tactics. After all, the more complex the tactic, the lower the success rate of execution.
Externally, the Rockets claim that they are playing a multi-point dynamic three-dimensional attack. The dominant idea is to let go and let the players decide their own way of attacking, and there is no fixed offensive routine or running position, because the fixed routine can be prevented.
When actually implemented on the court, the Rockets' offense will most of the time become Howard and Harden taking turns single. In China, this set of "multi-point dynamic three-dimensional offense" has been brilliantly summarized by Chinese fans as "X**D tactics".
Seeing Howard receive Jeremy Lin's pass in the low post, the Rockets instantly entered a state where one person played four people. If there is no fixed offensive routine, then use static braking!
Howard chiseled desperately on the inside, and Gasol raised his arms and pressed against the "monster" with a blank face.
As if to say to Howard, "You push harder, push harder and you'll go in." ”
In the end, the referee couldn't stand it first, and he couldn't get in for a long time, like something! He blew the whistle in his mouth and signaled that Howard was violating the three-second offense, and the ball belonged to the Grizzlies!
Howard was busy for a long time, and he ended up making a mistake. Impatient, he complained to the referee, his mouth was not very clean.
The referee didn't get used to Howard and added a technical foul.
Now that he's here as a referee, he doesn't have any face to sell.
From the start of the fight until now, Howard has been suppressed in almost every round. He felt like he wasn't a fart at the Federal Express Arena, without any majesty!
"Dwight, if you don't score again, I won't wait for you." Just as Howard was angry, Link floated out and complained at Howard again.
"What a big deal, do I need you to wait?" Howard clenched his fists, and he kept telling himself that the game had just begun, and that he couldn't rush, couldn't rush.
However, the Rockets have not scored for two minutes.
Link sent Conley to a technical foul and the Grizzlies were able to continue their offense, taking a 6-0 lead to a 15-game winning streak.
Link still didn't hold the ball this time, and since his teammates could play, Link also took advantage of the situation to save energy.
Iguodala broke through the basket to attack the frame, but was stopped by an angry Howard.
Howard is really fighting fiercely now, and Iguodala's body, which can play against James, can't hold it all at once.
With Howard's gross interference, Iguodala's layup missed. This is the first time the Grizzlies have missed a shot in today's game!
Just when Howard thought it was all done, Link jumped first and rushed to the offensive rebound!
Parsons had just not paid attention to the card slot, and he had made a huge mistake. Link's sense of rebounding is very strong, and if you don't get stuck, just wait to lose the rebound.
After Link got the offensive rebound, Howard immediately turned his gun and pressed towards Link. Link is under the basket at this time, this is a rare opportunity for Howard to play against Link!
Link wanted to pass the ball, but Parsons and Howard blocked all of Link's vision. Link was not an interior player in the first place, so he was caught by an opponent with a height of 2.08 meters and a height of 2.11 meters, and basically couldn't see anything.
There is no way, only to attack the frame.
I saw Link grab the rebound and slap the basketball violently, then turn back, as if a backward jumper!
That's when Howard was waiting! He took a sharp step forward and leaped high. Even if Link leans back and lies on the ground, it is impossible to dodge the block!
This time, you must be ashamed and show the super wind!
Link turned around when he was done, and just as he was about to shoot, he suddenly paused. There was no shot, but an up-and-go step, passing past Howard, who was already jumping!
Howard's eyes widened, what was going on with this silky-smooth low-post footwork? Link is an outside player!
In this way, Howard watched as Link easily picked up the basket. And he himself is like a stupid big man, who is being played to the limit.
The fans have also eaten it, and Link is a ...... just now
"Dream Dance Steps! Haha, Link shook Howard dizzy under the basket! This basket is so beautiful, and Link, as a player in the No. 3 position, gives Dwight a lot of footsteps. Howard, a serious center, has learned a lesson, take a look, this is called a real low-post offense! Nice second offense, which is hard to see these days. ”
Hubi. Brown clapped his hands and said that a No. 3 position can challenge the No. 5 position in the low position, so how can this No. 5 position have face!
Olajuwon, Yao Ming...... The glory of the Houston Rockets' two iconic centers was not reborn in Howard, but was learned by Link.
Howard didn't know what to make an expression, it was so embarrassing just now! He lowered his head and picked up the basketball and silently withdrew from the baseline.
I thought that the embarrassment would pass like this, but when Howard looked up, he found that Link was still standing in front of him.
"You've disappointed me, Dwight. Is this what you're talking about, sworn to defend Team Rocket's record? ”
Link undoubtedly made a cut in Howard and sprinkled a handful of salt into it.
Harden on the side saw it and could only shake his head helplessly.
Having said it, don't mess with Link.
