Chapter 210: Batyr Encounters a Strong Enemy! (2/3)
Famar also wanted to get excited right away. But he couldn't get excited...... When I participated in the draft, I thought about going to the Heat, why should I also point to Wade's backup? The first substitute kind. As a result, he hadn't even gone to Miami yet, and he was told that he wouldn't use it......
I'm quite happy to get to the Lakers! I can play on the same stage with Kobe! His abilities should be discovered by Jackson soon, right?! What Vujacic, Wharton and other players will see how a defender named Famar plays when the time comes!
As a result, now coming to the Lakers' regular season and preseason games, he has not played more than 10 minutes in any game...... The Lakers had nine players who Jackson thought could play on the court for a long time last season.
And this season that number has risen to 12! And the Lakers now have 16 players! In addition to these 16 people, there are about 5 people participating in the trial!
You can imagine how far the Lakers' lineup has reached this season! And now Odom is still recuperating in the hospital. Neither Turyav nor Manovic are on the 12-man squad! Not to mention this year's rookie Famar.
Dharmaar is now a three-player in the Zen Master's mind. A game will make him show his face. But only for a few minutes. Let him get used to the rhythm of the NBA game in the past few years. The Lakers are not short of guards right now.
"What are you doing?!" Famar was thinking about things there when he suddenly saw Zhou Yang already looking at him with a smile next to him for a long time~
"Have you been worrying lately about not being able to play for a long time? Do you often have insomnia and dreams? When listening to the coach's assignments, there will also be a lack of concentration? Zhou Yang looked at the young Famar with concern and said.
"This ...... I...... No kidding, it's almost time for the game to start," Famar was about to get angry. But Zhou Yang is currently one of the more influential players on the Lakers' team. His relationship with Kobe Bryant seems to be quite close!
And just now he was talking to himself in a completely concerned tone! Famar also found that the players were all there at this time. Coach Jackson didn't know where to go.
I didn't seem to have listened to the manager much just now......
"I heard that Battier is very powerful!" Cook said casually at this point.
"He's defended really well," Fisher was pretty much ready. After replying to Cook, he walked out. Then the players walked out of the dressing room one after another.
"There's not much more to say. One thing to note is that he was taken to Yao Ming to find the hat," Zhou Yang said to Mim and went out with Wharton and Smush.
The atmosphere in the Toyota Center Arena today is a bit of a playoff game! Van Gundy watched the players warm up solemnly. Yao Ming and Zhou Yang chatted for a while.
The starting lineup of the Rockets is Yao Ming, Hayes, Battier, Alston, Maddy! The Lakers are O'Neal, Meme, Cook, Fisher and Kobe!
At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming took the lead and passed the ball to Battier. The latter saw that Cook didn't come over in time to defend and jumped directly to hit a three-point shot! The Rockets' call for this season is very high!
The team has such a lineup, although they didn't make the playoffs last season...... But this season they are still full of confidence! The Rockets won two of the first three games of the regular season! The Lakers they're facing now have just won three in a row!
Both teams are not weak at this time! Kobe Bryant calmly watched the Rockets come to the front court with the ball. After Cook got the basketball, he planned to force it past Battier and was directly cut off by the opponent......
Maddie got the ball and went to the front court to score three points! 6:0! Van Gundy couldn't believe his eyes. Is it so easy? The Lakers won the Heat in the last game without too much effort!
Fisher took Kobe's pass, and O'Neal got a rebound after no three-pointers! Facing Yao Ming's defense, Ao Fat came to play the basketball board into the basket!
Maddie dribbled past half court and immediately got up under the cover of Battier and hit a three-point shot! The fans at the scene immediately cheered! Jackson looked at the Rockets, and they were really different from last season. At least in terms of morale, it is very high!
The Lakers have not taken the Rockets too seriously since the start of the regular season and three wins in three games! Today they intend to end the Lakers' winning streak!!
Cook clearly feels that this Shaun Battier is similar to last season when he was with the Grizzlies. Defensively, it's not at the same level as him! Kobe Bryant felt that there was no need to pass the ball at this time, and came up to ask Mime for the ball. After three points to the frontcourt, he didn't shoot himself, grabbed a rebound, and then jumped to score points!! 9:4!
Alston immediately got the basketball and ran to the front court, and Yao Ming habitually dribbled after receiving his ball...... Cook broke the ball in Yao Ming's hand and was just turned around and was broken by Alstom!
Yao Ming got the basketball again, hesitated for a moment, and then turned directly to let O'Neal foul play 2+1!
All of a sudden, the competition became severe! Now, if the Lakers don't find a way to make the Rockets score less, they will be about 10 points behind and play all the way to the other side!
Bryant went to the front court to pass the ball to Cook, and immediately rushed in, only to find that the basketball did not come! Hai Ye has blocked Cook! Cook's forced layup was directly interfered with by him!
Yao Ming slapped the ball directly in the air after seeing Maddie! Tracy got the ball and rushed straight over! But when it came to the frontcourt, it slowed down again, and he waited for O'Neal to run back and find a foul directly on him.
Originally, the Zen master did not want to pause. But seeing that Shaq had already committed two fouls at the beginning of the game, it was not appropriate not to take a timeout at this time. 14:2! In these rounds, only Kobe Bryant scored!
The Rockets now have Hayes and Battier firmly defended the interior! And Yao Ming is still under the basket! The Rockets' defense can be said to be very solid! Outside shots were essential, and Jackson glanced at Smush, Vujasic, and Famar Wharton on the bench......
Famar saw Phil stay on him for 2 seconds and walked over!! Is your chance here?!
"So...... Vujasic, you go up. If the opponent defends too hard, don't shoot too quickly......"
"Okay, I'm moving," Vujacic was a little excited in his heart, but his appearance was more natural, and he was warming up while listening to Jackson reassign tasks to the Lakers.
"I shouldn't be so excited...... Famar sat on the bench at this time, and his heart was cold. Just now when he and Vujacic stood up at the same time, they realized that the manager did not call him......
"Hell, I should have kept the fouls under control, Tracy ...... just now" was thinking about O'Neal passing by him with some unpleasantness and talking to the rest of his teammates.
Jackson replaced Cook and Fisher during the timeout. Let Meme play the center position and Brown play the No. 4 position. Zhou Yang came on to replace Cook. In this way, Vujacic can have a bonus effect with Zhou Yang in the game. The two work well together.
There were no player adjustments on the opposing side, and Van Gundy told his players to be careful of the Lakers' counterattack during the break. Defensively, you still have to be very strong.
When the game came back, the fans cheered. Zhou Yang and Yao Ming played at the same time!
Brown went to the sideline to serve the ball to Zhou Yang. The latter slowly came to the frontcourt, and Bryant took his pass and hit a three-point jumper directly from Alston! They seem to have changed a bit compared to the Lakers just now.
The Lakers just now seem to want to focus their offense on O'Neal and Mime. But the effect is not good, and going out is restricted. But now, even the Rockets feel like the Lakers' rhythm seems to be smoother......
After Hayes got the ball, he ran directly to Mime, and after hitting the opponent twice, he jumped directly to score points! Mime didn't expect the other party to be so strong, and the rhythm was not bad!
After Zhou Yang got the ball, he wanted to go over and make Yao Ming a foul! If you can use the "shark cutting tactic" to O'Neal, why can't you use it on Yao Ming?
After quickly rushing to the basket, Battier immediately posted it. Because the speed was too fast just now, Zhou Yang sat on the ground with his buttocks......
The basketball was not held and transported directly to Battier......
"......" Battier didn't react for a moment. Zhou Yang: This is ...... What do you mean?
"Stop !!" When Battier was about to speed up and run over, he was startled by Zhou Yang who was sitting on the ground! Zhou Yang suddenly shouted and immediately got up from the ground.
"Okay, let's continue to continue~ I stood up~" Zhou Yang said to the players around him very naturally.
"It was so sudden. I'm sick!! It's okay to shout 'stop'! Alstom thought to himself. They didn't react at all, and froze there for a few seconds. After seeing that this was the opponent delaying time, the referee directly blew Battier to walk......
"What the hell...... I forgot I had dribbled the ball just now...... What kind of player did you encounter......" Battier glanced at Zhou Yang and threw the ball on the ground a little reluctantly.
