Chapter 269 269, Defensive Counterattack
If you want to complete the two spacks, it is not as easy as you imagined, and this requires the cooperation of the whole team.
Thinking that after completion, his average ability value will be able to rise to ninety, Cheng Lei's mood is very excited, the average ability value of ninety is a watershed, respectively, ordinary players and star players, to more than ninety, can be called star players, as for more than ninety-five points, those are the pillars of each team.
When Cheng Lei said that he wanted to block the other party, everyone quickly analyzed several easier ways, among them, everyone agreed that fast attack was the easiest way to produce a buckle.
Most of the time, the fast break is one-on-one, two-on-one, as long as Cheng Lei is fast, then the probability of success in the face of the defender is very high.
Of course, in a normal battle, if you want Cheng Lei to go in and dunk, you have to rely on continuous blocking and dismantling to create opportunities.
The two sets of tactics arranged by De Shuai are all in preparation for Cheng Lei's blocking, and as for the fast attack and dunk, it depends on whether everyone can play the rhythm.
At present, the most important thing is to guard against the Nuggets' offense first.
Only by defending this ball can you start a fast attack at the first time, and the Nuggets' retreat is very fast, and if you rely on a quick serve to achieve the effect of fast attack after a goal, it is almost impossible.
"Brother Deng, this time you have to defend seriously!" Cheng Lei looked at Harden and said.
"It's a must, I'm going to show you what an MVP-level defense is!" Harden said confidently.
The whole world is saying that Harden can't defend, but only he knows whether he can defend or not.
However, this time, Harden is clearly serious, at least judging from the defensive posture he has shown, it is still very pressing.
Nelson had already dribbled and began to slowly pass the half, and just after halftime, Paul immediately posted it, not letting him easily get close to the three-point line.
As for the rest of the position, the Rockets players also used all the close defense.
In the fourth quarter, the Rockets showed much better defensive state than in the first three quarters.
"Is Team Rocket ready to come for real?" Kenyon Martin exclaimed.
"This kind of defense, definitely a playoff level defense, the Rockets only used this kind of defense in the playoffs last season, and in a few years, their defense is even stronger than last year!" Barkley nodded.
The Rockets still have a lot of defensive giants on the bench, and Ariza, who defended well last season, is still sitting off the court.
"Defend, defend, defend!" The audience at the scene was also infected by the defensive attitude of the Rockets and unanimously supported them.
The Nuggets' passing is no longer as smooth as before, Barron finally ran out and received the ball, according to what they know about the Rockets, Harden's defense should be the weakest of the five now.
So, they're ready to start with Harden.
Harden sneered, lowered his center of gravity, and his eyes were firmly locked on Patton, using himself as a breakthrough? Do you really think you can't defend?
In the past, I didn't defend myself, and that's because it can be solved with offense, so why do we need to use defense? It seems that it is easy to misunderstand.
Barton moved, and he didn't make feints, he just wanted to rely on speed and shoot directly past Harden.
According to what Harden knows, he will definitely not catch up in the first place.
However, this time, what Barton didn't expect was that Harden's speed was even faster than him, and the moment he started, Harden also moved, directly blocking his face, and after several disguises, he couldn't get rid of Harden.
"Is this still the familiar Harden?" This is the voice of everyone at the scene.
Harden showed his defensive toughness, actively blocking positions, and then, constantly taking the initiative to use his body against Barton.
Don't look at Harden's usual foray into porcelain, everyone jokes that Harden can't fight against it, on the contrary, Harden's confrontation ability is first-class, and you've seen so many free throws in that venue with insufficient confrontation ability.
After Barton tried a few times, there was never a few opportunities to get rid of Harden, so he could only call his teammates to come over to block and dismantle, and after Wilson came up, a block and dismantle, the Rockets immediately made a substitution, and Cheng Lei went to defend Barton.
Cheng Lei's defense is much stronger than Harden's, and now the strongest defensive ability on the court is Cheng Lei.
Bang... Bang...
Before Barton could make any moves on the dribble, Cheng Lei found the opportunity and took the initiative to make physical contact when he went up.
The collision between the two pairs of muscles made Barton unable to touch the north for a while, and it was extremely difficult to force the breakthrough with the dribble, so he could only find an opportunity to pass the ball out.
On the outside, Nelson and Wilson were heavily defended and had no chance to pass the ball back to the outside, so they had to hoist the ball inside.
It was another block between Millsap and Jokic, the two went up and down, swapped positions, and Jokic quickly appeared at the free throw line.
When the opportunity came, Barton was happy that he could pass the ball to Jokic as long as he passed the ball to the ground, and as long as the ball was passed to Jokic comfortably, Jokic was very sure that he could score it.
Seeing Cheng Lei's center of gravity pressed down and his legs spread, Barton made a feint and directly hit the ground and passed the ball between Cheng Lei's legs.
Of course, his every move did not escape Cheng Lei's eyes, and his vigilance far beyond ordinary people made Cheng Lei judge Patton's action in advance, with his left foot as the axis, and the whole person turned around quickly.
A backhand action directly hit the ball and changed the course of the ball.
"Tucker, grab the ball!" Looking at the direction of the ball, Cheng Lei immediately shouted.
Tucker heard the shout and rushed towards the ball at full speed, scooping it in his hand before it went out of bounds.
Paul was already down and Tucker made a long throw and passed the ball over.
Nelson wasn't slow either, and kept chasing the defense.
On the side, Harden and Barton were also running fast, Cheng Lei was a step slower, and rushed towards his own frontcourt at full speed.
When Paul took the ball and went to the fast attack, he kept paying attention to Cheng Lei's position, which was a good opportunity to dunk, but he couldn't rush and waited for Cheng Lei to come up.
So, Paul slowed down his pace a bit, and after Cheng Lei passed half court, he accelerated, shook twice, and jumped up against Nelson.
"Don't think about going to the basket!" Nelson roared and covered it with all his might.
Paul was waiting for this time, Cheng Lei had already rushed up to the back, and Harden directly paused, ran back like outside the three-point line, and pulled Barton directly.
Wilson was originally very fast and thought that he could easily catch up with Cheng Lei, but what he didn't expect was that the distance between Cheng Lei and him was getting bigger and bigger, and soon, he was three bodies ahead of him.
Seeing that Nelson's hand was getting closer and closer, Paul pulled down with his hand, and then gently threw it behind his back.
A lightning-fast figure stepped in from the free throw line, grabbed the ball, and flew up.
In the process of Nelson's descent, he watched in despair as Cheng Lei appeared above his head, and with the momentum of thunder, Mount Tai was empowered.
