Yao Ming asks for the ball in the low post.

As soon as he came up, he was extra proactive.

Millsap originally wanted to attack with the ball by himself, but seeing Yao Ming's excited appearance, he probably knew that Yao Ming wanted to perform in front of Wang Mingming, and on the three-point line, he hoisted the ball to Yao Ming.

"Smack!"

Yao Ming caught the ball with both hands and made a loud noise.

Tyson Chandler, who was stuck in the position with his arms bent behind him, couldn't help but be shocked, in his feeling, he seemed to be facing not a player, but a towering mountain.

Rocket players open up space.

The situation on the court was very clear, the fans were making a mess of noise, and Wang was sitting on the sidelines tomorrow and probably heard some words, such as "beat the Rockets", "Houstonians get out" and so on.

Yao Ming dribbled, hunched over, and then leaned heavily on his back.

Among the low-post offenses, the main highlights are the footwork, and the other is the technique of dribbling back.

Many players have the strength of their bodies, but they can't play the real power of their backings, and the real low-post offensive masters, from Jordan to O'Neal to today's Kobe, are all the kings of low-post backing, and ordinary players in the same position can't stop their powerful backing.

Tyson Chandler couldn't stand it either.

When Chandler first entered the league, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, but then he slowly grew, and he became stronger, his arms became thicker, and he had the image of a big man.

But at this time, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

It's not like I've fought with Yao Ming once or twice, but Yao Ming's low backing is indeed too powerful and terrifying, and he can't stop it.

Constantly retreating, retreating again and again, Yao Ming turned around suddenly.

Chandler lost the lead, didn't have time to think, and jumped up to interfere with Yao Ming.

But he never thought that Yao Ming didn't move, stuck Chandler's body, and after Chandler fell, he raised his arm and gently hooked it in a distant place that Chandler couldn't reach.

"Huh~"

Basketball goes to the net.

As Yao Ming gets older, Yao Ming's offensive skills have become more proficient, and in the past two years, Yao Ming has averaged about 24 points per game, and has become the strongest interior attacker in the league.

Tyson Chandler was beaten and was a little angry, but at this time, Wang Tomorrow stood up from the sidelines, gestured at him, and shouted "Fast serve!" ”

Tyson came to his senses, this run-and-bomb tactic is but Coach Wang Mingming has already set the tactics to deal with the rockets, and he is still in a daze here, it really shouldn't be!

He quickly picked up the basketball and quickly handed it to Kidd.

Kidd dribbled quickly past half court, and by this time, the Rockets had completed their full defense.

Judging from the defensive formation of the Rockets, the Rockets retain the iron and toughness of the Van Gundy era, and every player is actively looking for physical confrontation, even the skinny Brooks, who is not afraid in the face of Kidd, is also awe-inspiring, knocked away again and again, and then pasted up again and again.

Little Black Bean is extremely aggressive, constantly reaching out to harass Kidd's dribbling, knowing that he can't break it, but always trying to cause trouble for Kidd.

Kidd turned his back to dribble and waited for Chris Bosh to block for him.

The two completed a pick-and-roll at the elbow area, Brooks was blocked, and Millsap let go of Kidd to break inside, resolutely not giving Chris Bosh a chance to easily misplace the offense.

Kidd was not welcome, got his chance, and flew inside, at which point the Rockets contracted.

The tactics of shrinking are also interesting, not all of them shrink, like the key three-point areas on the wings and in the bottom corners of both sides, the Rockets are very defensive.

Kidd drew Millsap over and slammed the ball to the side of his head.

Bosh received the ball, and Millsap didn't look his head and quickly turned back to the defense.

Bosh clicked, made a change in the pace of the attack, and broke through in the way.

Millsap opened his arms and resisted Bosh's breakthrough toughly, Millsap almost perfectly withstood Bosh's breakthrough, and the constant pressure made Bosh, who had already taken three steps, very uncomfortable.

Bosh was isolated and eventually opted for an irregular throw to end the attack.

The basketball was off, Yao Ming was desperately stuck with Chandler, and Sean Battier grabbed the rebound.

Battier saw Artest pounce and quickly protected the ball.

Battier was delayed with a pass, and then Artest retreated unhurriedly, at which point the Kings withdrew to their own half and quietly completed the defense.

The speed of the Kings' retreat surprised Adelman, and even the Rockets, a team like the Rockets who fans remember not being good at playing counterattacks and fast breaks, are the Kings not taking it lightly?

In fact, after the start of the season, the Rockets changed the weakness of last season's lack of counterattack, and the outside lineup composed of young people such as Brooks, Chandler and Gallinari was full of aggression and ran no weaker than the Warriors and Suns who are now running and shooting.

Brooks honestly dribbled through the half, facing Kidd, always wanting to break through one-on-one.

At this time, Millsap came out to catch the ball, and after a few covers on the outside, Millsap found Brooks again, and the two crossed to block and pick, and the Kings players didn't see whose hands the ball was.

The two of them quickly slashed into each other, and it was only then that Chandler saw that Millsap had a basketball in his hand.

He formed a tie with Bosh, but Millsap was an amazing passer, finding a gap in the moments before the two formed a circle and stuffing the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming shook his arm with one hand, and under the huge weight, the basket underwent exaggerated deformation, and at the same time let out a weak moan, as if crying about the other party's atrocities.

"Damn."

Tyson clapped his hands in annoyance.

At this point, Kidd rushed in and passed the ball.

Artest was a little bit, and the two attacked quickly, and the Rockets players were still immersed in the joy of completing a subtle dunk, and brazenly launched a fast attack.

"Quick, quick, back off!"

Adelman couldn't help but stand up and shouted.

At this point, DeRozan took the lead, the young man showed great learning ability and physical fitness, and when the referee didn't pay attention, he secretly dragged Wilson Chandler and then sped off.

Kidd's heart moved, and while dribbling and running, he suddenly made a long pass.

DeRozan looked up at the basketball, his heart was happy, and he suddenly added another point of speed, and then the ape arm relaxed, grabbed the basketball, dribbled, rushed into the three-point line, and flew up in three steps.

Gliding two meters in the air, the basketball was held high with long arms.

"Bang dang!"

DeRozan's body trembled, and he slammed the ball into the basket with one hand, making a crisp loud noise, through the speaker above the ball frame, overpowering the noisy sound of the entire arena, and the sound overpowered the commentator's commentary.

"What a beautiful fast attack, what a beautiful tomahawk split!"

The fans are crazy, the Kings' wave of offense, from serving in the backcourt to DeRozan in the frontcourt, only took 4 seconds, which is a blitzkrieg in the blitzkrieg.

Adelman's face was a little unsightly, the Rockets' defense of the ball was lax, including Sean Battier, who didn't expect the Kings' offense to be so fast, who didn't serve for a second, who didn't serve in the half, but at least three or four people in the middle of the court hung the ball.

The Kings retreated, and all the players were on standby.

This time, the Rockets changed their tactics, after Chandler held the ball, he blocked and covered with Yao Ming in the free throw line area, and Yao Ming received Chandler's pass with his backhand and responded in the center.

Battier walked through Millsap's back-of-the-net screen, and Chandler ran back to the touchline.

The tactics were successful, DeRozan, who was defending Chandler, was attracted by the empty cut Battier, and Chandler ran directly out of the open space on the outside, and Yao Mingren arrived at the ball.

Chandler made a three-point shot and hit it accurately!

7 to 2.

In the opening game, the Kings scored two points with a fast break, but the Rockets were more aggressive, scoring all three offenses.

At this time, the time entered within 10 minutes, Wang Ming stood up and asked the referee on duty to take a timeout.

"In the league, it is difficult for any team to contain the Rockets' offense and defense, especially now that Yao Ming and Millsap have taken over the Rockets' offensive banner, the two of them are too strong to respond, just like another Kings team." The narrator said with a smile that the king team he was talking about was not the king team led by Wang tomorrow today.

Ten years ago, the Kings were a team coached by Rick Adelman, and under the Adelman Princeton system, players such as Chris Webb, Peja Stokevich, Mike Bibby, and Vlad Divac shone brightly, especially the passing interior combination of Divac and Webb, which played a very ornamental team basketball.

Compared to today's Rockets, the two teams have a lot in common.

Wang Tomorrow also has to admit that Rick Adelman has a very outstanding ability in the adjustment of offensive tactics, which can be called talented.

"Let's defend the joint defense next." After thinking about it, the one-on-one effect is too poor, so he can only try to use joint defense to suppress the Rockets' strong interior line, after all, the Kings' outside defense is very strong now, and if the inside and outside defense is not linked, sooner or later they will lose the game.

The king will look at the people tomorrow, and they will look at him.

He didn't hurry on the white tactical board and drew a simple defensive map: "Look, the Kings' offensive tactics are like this, two interior players, one is always in the high position, that is, above the free throw line, elbow ........"

Wang Tomorrow talked for a while, and suddenly found that something was wrong, why did there be an unfamiliar face outside the black men?

"Huh?"

"Uh-huh?" The crowd looked from the king's point of view and found Paul Millsap hiding outside the crowd, eavesdropping as if nothing was happening.

Artest was immediately furious, and rolled up his sleeves to dye his face.

Millsap smiled wryly, and ran away in embarrassment.

Wang Mingming grabbed Artest and persuaded with a smile: "Forget it, Ron, listen to my tactics." ”

Wang Mingming's rise did not expect that he had not seen it for more than half a year, Millsap had become so slippery, and he actually ran to the enemy lineup to eavesdrop on tactics, the key is that everyone has not noticed it, and he still nodded vigorously, looking deeply approving.

The vignette was immediately captured by the media at the scene, and it attracted a lot of attention.

After the game, the media interviewed Millsap about why he wanted to eavesdrop on the Kings' tactics.

Millsap was in awe and expressed his admiration for Wang Mingming: "Actually, I didn't mean to, but at that time in Philadelphia, under the command of Coach Wang Mingming, he was able to change the situation through a timeout, I wanted to hear how he got through that difficult time, and later found out that the Kings team was really good, they were very resilient, found a way, and dragged the game into a tug-of-war." ”

After the timeout, the players carried out the tactics of Wang Mingming's half-zone joint defense and half-two-three joint defense, and there were also people marking in the middle.

In short, in addition to the bottom corner and the three points at the top of the arc, Wang will appropriately free up 45 degrees on both sides tomorrow to give the Rockets a chance to attack from the outside.

He bet Adelman wouldn't dare put all hope on an outside three-point shot.

Sure enough, how could Adelman, who has the two All-Star interior lines of Millsap and Yao Ming, be so willing to give up his strengths and weaknesses, the Rockets have ten opportunities on the outside, only six of them are really used, and only three are shot, which is a very good deal for the Kings.

Yao Ming and Millsap were caught in the trap and made mistakes, and the Kings immediately counterattacked.

The score was overtaken.

With more than four minutes left in the first quarter, Yao Ming offered to take a break.

Adelman began to work on the bench, while on the other side, the Kings had already begun to rotate the bench.

The Kings now have the longest playing time of Chris Bosh with 34 minutes, in addition to Artest, who also has 32 minutes of playing time, and the rest of the players, almost none of them have played more than 30 minutes, Kidd has 29 minutes, DeRozan has 25 minutes, and Tyson Chandler has only played 22 minutes.

The extra time was spent on the bench, Benno Judri 22 minutes, Jason Thompson 19 minutes, Francisco Garcia 21 minutes, Nocioni 18 minutes.......

There is not much difference between the playing time of Wang Mingming's main force and the substitute, it seems that except for the "Big Three", they are all substitutes.

With this allocation of playing time, the Kings almost always rotate 9-10 players per game, and usually the 10-man rotation is higher.

It can only be said that the Kings are full of talent, and these main players from last season can't beat others as the main players, but as substitutes, they are real bench bandits.

"The Rockets have made a lot of money." Others are envious of the Kings, but the king will envy the Rockets tomorrow, the Rockets picked up Millsap for nothing in the summer, and traded Maddie to bring in a group of talented young people, "I heard that Morey is also preparing to introduce a top outside player on the free market next summer, and Yao Ming and Millsap form a new Big Three, if he really becomes, the Rockets' lineup will be even more terrifying." ”

"Someone like Alexander wouldn't be willing to pay the luxury tax when there is little room left in the Rocket's salary." After chatting with Wang tomorrow, General Manager Jov Patri said that he didn't believe that businessmen like Alexander would invest much in basketball, and that being able to make money was always their first priority.

Therefore, Wang Mingming's choice of the Kings is also because the Ma'louf brothers of the Kings have certain qualities other than businessmen - a sincere love for basketball.
