Chapter 413: Two First-Year Centers!
At the end of the first half, there seemed to be some change in the form of both teams.
The Warriors don't have the momentum that they had at the beginning of the game, but many players are still skeptical. And the players on the Rockets' side are getting braver and braver! Although Whiteside is a rookie at first glance, he is already on the court today to fight the Warriors
"I didn't expect the Rockets to fight so hard," Curry said to himself in the locker room at this time. The teammates around him were tired of doing their own things, and basically half of them were sleeping at this time.
"It would be nice to have a teammate who can shoot like me, if only there was a violent defender at the front, if there was another teammate who can shoot and play like Durant," Curry shook his head and laughed at the thought, then lay down in a bench chair and fell asleep.
55:45! After two quarters of the game, the Warriors still led the opponent by 10 points! It can be said that the Rockets have played very well in the second quarter of the game! In the Warriors' indiscriminate bombardment, it is relatively lucky to still not be beaten.
The reason why the Warriors did not become the bottom five teams in the West this season is because they have not only strengthened on the defensive end, but also Curry's long-range shooting and Monta's powerful offense on the guard side have strengthened the team's combat value a lot!
At this time, Curry had to immediately adjust the goal of this game, and they finally led the Rockets by 20 points or 40 points, at this time Curry felt that the Celtics played well in that game
"I don't think they're very strong on the bench right now. So we still have a chance in the next game. Hill and Whiteside do the same thing, you just have to defend the interior and try to grab the rebounds."
Hill nodded frequently. Players like him, Dragic, and Carroll are still quite bottomless on the Rockets. What awaits them may be a season's bench
"We have to focus on scoring, and if we can't defend it, we can fight with them for offensive efficiency. This section is generally about not thinking too much about doing everything well. Score at the top"
Adelman has been a coach who does not admit defeat during his coaching career. The reason why he is famous is because not only is he capable, but the data is also beautiful enough! The old man who can play the same data as before also has a certain ability!
In the past few years, Yao Ming's personal speed has improved. He has a high accuracy in shooting and a sense of height that stands out in the league! And this big man from the East is still smart!
Such a center would be a good fit for Adelman's system. But now that he's injured, there are a lot of rumors from the outside world. The old man has no intention of paying attention to these rumors now. But Hassan is definitely not the same as Yao Ming. Although they are not fast at the beginning. But apparently Whiteside was a little too slow.
At this time, Hassan was sitting in the sidelines, and no one spoke to him. He was resting there earnestly, too. He's going to put all his energy into the game in this game! If the manager had let him continue playing at this point, he might have been a little too much to cope with physically.
"White, you don't have to defend too much, defense is mainly taught to the two of Yudu and Gazuric. You and Curry are mainly responsible for scoring and organizing the game," the fans cheered enthusiastically!
The Warriors' strength has risen significantly this season. It didn't take long for both teams to play. The lineup on the Rockets' side has changed to Hill, Scola, Battier, Lowry, and Battinger. The Warriors' players on the Warriors' side are, in order, Yudu, Gazuric, Rademanovic, Curry and White.
The coach knows their team is not as good off the bench as the Rockets. So let White keep playing. But he went from a small forward to a playmaker. Radmanovic was with the Los Angeles Lakers before going to the Bobcats.
He thought he would take root with the Lakers and was traded away immediately
"Yudu?" After Zhou Yang looked at this player, he immediately remembered the default center player in his classmate's laptop in his previous life. This player has a good defensive and mid-range shooting ability! The Warriors shouldn't need his offensive ability, and this player has good defense, rebounding, and blocking!
Battier missed a jumper after halftime when Battinger got the ball shortly after. Scola wanted to make up the dunk but was directly interfered with by Yudu! With the cheers of the crowd, Gazuric grabbed the rebound directly and quickly passed the half, and White took his pass on the other side and hit a three-point shot!
Zhou Yang was also sitting in the audience at this time. In the third quarter, Adelman rebled some players. Battier held the ball to the front court alone, and after three points, Yudu directly got the rebound and passed the ball to Curry!
The latter received the ball and strolled through halftime, and immediately after the Warriors scored another three points! Curry bit the braces in his mouth and spread his hands. The game is so simple~ Adelman's somewhat worried look is in sharp contrast to the expression Curry has just made! The difference has been stretched to 16 points!
"Zhou Yang, you can rest and rest. Hassan came here. Battier continued to organize the game for a while. Lowry and Badinger, you two give me a quick score," Adelman saw that Zhou Yang was about to get up, and immediately motioned for him to sit down. The game can't come alone, and Zhou Yang is quite physically exhausted to play like this. And he also has to give a certain amount of playing time to the other players of the Rockets.
This time, the Rockets were directly stopped, and the Warriors' confidence was restored a lot. And they also found that the other party didn't let Zhou Yang, who had good organizational skills, come back! Although Batman is also quite powerful, it seems that he is shorter in terms of comprehensive ability compared to Zhou Yang.
Radmanovic was slightly relieved to see that Zhou Yang had not returned. When I was with the Lakers, I didn't think Zhou Yang was so powerful. But now he's not stupid either. The other party has just led the Heat team without Wade to the championship. Then Zhou Yang's strength is definitely not comparable to his ordinary blue-collar striker.
At least now he's just a blue-collar striker statistically. If Zhou Yang plays, he doesn't know if he can prevent the other party, and the media now compares him with LeBron and Anthony!
After returning from the game, there were some boos when they saw Hassan on the field. Whiteside looked strangely, and the fans at the scene turned their attention back to the field. He has nothing to think about, he is on the edge of the NBA at this time, and maybe tomorrow he will roll up and leave.
But even tomorrow he does go. I have to leave something behind in this arena today. In the NBA game, maybe I am still a little uncomfortable psychologically. Maybe it was the head coach's arrangement that made him unable to play his ability for a while and went down again.
In short, Whiteside felt that he was not doing very well. I also found that the NBA is not the kind of place where you can easily perform well. Unless you're particularly capable.
It's not like you have to play well and you're going to be able to do well. The Warriors looked at this year's second-round pick center. On his side, he is the 6th pick in the first round of this year's big center!
At least in terms of equipment, the Warriors are a notch higher than the Rockets. And the team has several substitute center forwards just as good! Doesn't the Rockets have a shortcoming in the center right now? We're going to beat you up for this shortcoming!
"Don't push too hard, relax," Sean said as he looked at his teammates seriously. The result of the Warriors' analysis from the game to the present is that you can't be too tough on this team!
The Warriors don't just have some ability to pound the basket quickly. Their fixed-point three-point shooting accuracy and mid-to-long-range shooting accuracy are not low! And their interior defense has also done a remarkable job. Battier seemed to comfort himself when he said this to his teammates. Because if you analyze this game carefully, you will find that the odds of winning are running out!
The rest of the teammates were all defended by the Warriors at this point. Sean glanced at the time, and finally passed the ball to Hassan with some reluctance. He didn't want that, and the Warriors' tacit tactics worked!
The ball is forced to Hassan, which is equivalent to one more chance for them to serve!
Whiteside, who took over the basketball, immediately noticed the look of the players around him. A sense of oppression came straight at him, and he felt that his heart would beat faster as soon as he dribbled the ball.
Whiteside, who was near the free throw line, lowered his body and slapped the ball, and immediately jumped high! Because he jumped too high, he was stunned by Gazuric and Yudu, who were under the basket. What's going on with this kid? What is he going to do?
Hassan, who jumped in the direction of the basket, threw the ball directly! After the basketball hits the rebound, it immediately smashes into the basket and bounces again, and the basketball falls into the net twice repeatedly! Whiteside, who was under the nose of the Warriors, actually scored!
"Yours!! It's a bit weird, but a goal is a good goal! The team feels like it can't do without you right now! Battier ran over with some excitement at this time, and hit Whiteside with a small fist in the chest, and said with a smile.
"It's good to score, it's good to score" I didn't expect the goal just now to score. Hassan didn't know how to deal with his teammates' sudden praise on him, so he immediately laughed a few times and ran over.
"Hassan, Yudu is the 6th pick in the first round! Do you have the confidence to beat him?! Zhou Yang suddenly shouted to Hassan amid the cheers of his teammates at this time.
"Look here!" After hearing Zhou Yang's voice, Whiteside felt a little complicated, pointed to his strong and thick arm, and said. What high picks?! He's going to meet this guy named Yudu today! At this point in the game, he is out of the way!
"This kid is a little immature, but I think he really has a lot of potential," Adelman said as he looked at Zhou Yang, who was cheering on his teammates on the sidelines.
"Maybe he's not scoring that strongly. But Hassan's defensive ability is still bullish on me. Coach" Zhou Yang said to the coach with some seriousness at this time.
"You say, Zhou Yang"
"If you have the chance, can you let him play more time if the team hasn't fired him yet?" Zhou Yang bowed his head and said to the old man at this time.
"The Rockets don't have a choice right now. Every player who can play in the center position has a short board, and if Yao Ming is not injured, we may now consider working for the top three in the West. Hassan's form today, if he can keep it up, I will think about it. Although this kid is young, his attitude on the field is not bad. ”
"Thank you, coach! I think Yao Ming's injury is far away, and our team must at least have a player who can match the center of other teams in the center position. And Hassan's other abilities are okay too. Although there are some abilities that are relatively low, I think this season can improve him."
"I think he should be a good centre-forward if he gets the chances in the future. If you want me to say, the current Mime in Boston is indeed very good! The rocket missed! ”
Adelman said his thoughts as he watched the game. This time, Zhou Yang did not return to Adelman. If Mime comes to the Rockets, will he have played the position of the main big center by now? It should most likely be.
Curry asked his teammate for the ball and went straight to a three-point jumper this time without. Hassan immediately picked up a rebound and passed it to Battier. Badinger took the basketball and rushed directly to the front court, and hit the three-point board directly without defense!
The current Rockets guard is the majority of defenders who can score. But the same is true of the inconsistent performance in the game. Players with good physical attributes like Lowry and Battier can't rely on their bodies to score quickly from long range, but other players need to work more on their shots.
This time, the Rockets don't seem to be so passive. The camera was also given to Zhou Yang twice. Fans were a little worried when they saw that Zhou Yang was still off the field. If he comes back, will the Warriors be able to parry?
Radmanovic made a quick half-time pass and hit the ground and passed to Yudu. He dribbled against Hassan's body twice! If you want to borrow strength, you can throw it directly to get points. But it's as if he owes Hassan money, and the other party is almost desperate to defend Youdu!
The two changed locations a few times, but Yudu still couldn't get rid of Hassan, and his attack was likely to be interfered with by the opponent, so he chose to pass to Gazuric. The Warriors fans at the scene were a little surprised, Yudu didn't dare to attack next to Whiteside just now!
After seeing the basketball being given to Gazuric, Hassan didn't think much of it. I just changed the direction of my feet and jumped again! Gazuric didn't expect Hassan to react so quickly, and directly chose a close-range jumper to be directly scored by Whiteside!!
Because the basketball bounced high with too much force, Battier and Radmanovic waited for the ball to fall as if they were grabbing the ball thrown by the referee
When people's mental concentration is high, their abilities do improve. Hassan was like this at this time, and the devil training that Zhou Yang gave him in a few days of training also had a little effect. He felt like his legs weren't as clumsy.
White and Gazuric glanced at each other. From the look in his eyes, he could see the puzzlement of Hassan's defensive ability just now. According to the previous game, this guy's reaction was definitely not so fast, right?
Lowry then took the basketball that Battier grabbed and signaled to his teammates to be faster, and he was about to pass the ball. The Warriors didn't dare to take it lightly! At this moment, Lowry jumped directly into the net with three points of hollowness! Then Lowry pointed at Zhou Yang instead of Battier and ran back.
Zhou Yang: "??? ”
The Warriors were about to take a timeout.
