Chapter 288: A Low-Rank Killer

The impact of the Kings players surprised Rockets fans.

DeRozan broke out first, scoring 5 points in a row at the beginning of the game, stealing the limelight from a bunch of All-Star players.

Subsequently, Chris Bosh also caused fouls by Rockets players, creating kills on the inside, and the momentum of the game suddenly showed a situation of the home team suppressing the away team.

The Rockets players also felt the hardship, and in the cheering of the tsunami, the Kings players rushed up fearlessly.

"Bang!"

Yao Ming had just struggled to knock Chandler away, and when he turned around, he met Bosh who was crazy and overwhelmed.

Distributing the ball outward, it was recognized by Artest on the weak side, Artest took a direct step, stretched out his hand to break the ball, and then sent the ball forward, followed with one step, and formed a fast attack on the spot.

Artest's speed is not fast, and when you dribble the ball, your speed is even slower.

Although he had the advantage of position, Brooks, Gallinari and other young players of the Rockets soon stepped back, and Artest stopped dribbling outside the three-point line.

Pretend to look behind you and wait for the players to come.

In fact, suddenly there was a flick of the wrist, a change of direction, a breakthrough!

Gallinari was fouled on his back and didn't dare to make a big move, but it was Brooks, the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, jumped high, and blocked interference when Artest drove Gallinari to the basket.

The cover was not covered, but Artest was startled.

The layup was a little stronger, and the basketball rolled out.

Coming back up, Battier has stepped back and protected the backcourt rebound.

"It's a pity!"

Artest clapped his hands in annoyance.

At this time, the Rockets counterattacked, Yao Ming, who had just run to the halfcourt, ran back, and Brooks quickly advanced to the front court, only to find that it was only 3 to 3.

Brooks + Millsap + Yao Ming beat Kidd + DeRozan + Chandler.

Brooks boldly went straight to the three-point line and made a three-point jumper!

He was right, even if he missed the wave this time, but at least the two big brothers of the team were there, and the big brothers were very strong in rebounding, so there was no reason why he couldn't grab the rebounds in the front court.

So he took advantage of Kidd's jealousy of his breakthrough and made a decisive move.

The arc of chasing the three-point is very flat.

Under the basket, a bunch of people huddled together, all thinking that the probability of Brooks scoring this ball was very low.

"Huh!"

However, this basketball actually passed through the heart, neatly.

"The choice was too simple....... Strike! Zhang Weiping quickly changed his words, "Although it is said that this ball is simple, this is Brooks's style, three points come with open hands." ”

Yao Ming and Millsap both ran for nothing, but fortunately, the ball was scored, and the Rockets were able to breathe a sigh of relief. Relief from the Kings' ferocious opening press.

5 to 7.

The king's position attacked.

Chris Bosh came out to receive the ball at the top of the arc, then blocked and covered with Kidd, Kidd stuck with Brooks, pulled the ball horizontally, found a bit of space, and immediately sent a second pass.

Chris Bosh catches the ball with both hands, slaps it, turns and walks to the basket.

The Rockets didn't expect the King's high blocking to be so sharp, after Bosh received the ball, there was almost no one to defend, the Rockets opened wide in the middle, and Yao Ming could only shrink the defense.

At this point, Tyson Chandler was let go and Bosh broke through to score the ball.

Yao Ming couldn't catch it back, and Chandler clasped his hands violently on the spot.

In the eyes of fans, it is the Kings who have got another opportunity to attack in the open space, and as soon as the Kings' tactics go casually, the entire Rockets' defense line seems to be a hole.

9 to 5.

Chandler was excited, and there weren't many opportunities to dunk on Yao Ming's head, but every time, there was a special sense of accomplishment.

The rocket carried out a positional attack unhurriedly.

Wang raised his arms high tomorrow and motioned for the players to expand their defense, especially Kidd, to expand the three-point line, and as soon as Brooks crossed the halfcourt, he met Kidd who pounced.

"Papa~"

With two consecutive crotch dribbles, Brooks changed direction in succession without shaking off Kidd, and after speeding past half court, he handed the ball to Battier at the top of the arc.

Battier dribbled to the right and gave it to Gallinari.

Gallinari and Paul Millsap made pick-and-rolls on the right side.

Gallinari didn't hold the ball well, DeRozan pressed it, Gallinari almost dropped the ball, threw the ball into the air, and handed it to Paul Millsap, who went down.

"Bang!"

Millsap picked up the ball and spun away, crashed away from Chris Bosh, and rushed viciously to the basket.

Chandler made up for the defense, the two fought in the air, Millsap held up his waist, tossed the ball lightly, and made a layup with a half-throw.

Hit the board into the frame.

"Good shot!"

Millsap is the big player that Wang Tomorrow relied on during the 76ers period, Millsap also said that the experience of the 76ers team has been very great for his growth, and the adjustment of Coach Wang Tomorrow is the key to his selection as an All-Star today.

Yu Jia took out the information and explained the matter of Millsap.

Many old fans know about Millsap and Wang tomorrow, but some fans who have just started watching the NBA may not know.

After Yu Jia said this, NBA rookie fans suddenly realized.

Millsap fell to the floor, her legs raised, protecting her legs well, using the muscles of her back to cushion out all the impact.

The Kings fans roared and cheered, but the Rockets still bit the score on the court and got through this most difficult stage.

Then came the tug-of-war between the two teams, and at the end of the first quarter, the Kings led the Rockets by just one point at 25-24.

It was interesting to see how the benches were arranged.

On Wang's side tomorrow, he will be replaced by Ron Artest, Yudri + Nocioni + Casby + Artest + Gortat, and the nine-man rotation has been realized.

And here for the Kings, it is Wilson Chandler, Zeiss Badinger, Louis Scola, Zach Hayes and others, and they have also reached a nine-man rotation.

In terms of the number of people in rotation, Adelman employs a lot more than the average coach.

The Rockets' bench strength is not weak, especially now that Wilson Chandler is on the bench, the bench has a stable offensive point with the ball, plus Scola who is enough to be a starter, and Hayes, who is the top three forces in the league, the Rockets bench has its own style.

As soon as the Rockets came on the bench, they played 7-2 to overtake the score.

Wang asked for a timeout tomorrow and instructed his players to further accelerate the pace and transition between attack and defense.

In the chaos of the Kings, he made a 3-pointer and the score quickly closed.

The main force debuted, and it was a weak point in attacking each other, and at halftime, it was a 50-50 game, and the performance of both teams was very stable.

The real fight came in the third quarter, where Yao Ming suddenly broke out, scored back-to-back inside shots, and caused Tyson Chandler to commit his fourth foul.

Chandler felt very wronged and hugged his head.

The fans at the scene also booed Yao Ming, but it did not prevent Yao Ming, who had become the overlord of the inside line at this time, to steadily score the penalty score.

Wang Ming couldn't laugh or cry, two years ago, during Yao Ming's transition period, it was he who suggested Yao Ming to reduce his weight.

Today, Yao Ming has a wealth of offensive means, relying on his height, small hook hand and accurate mid-range shots, attacking the city and pulling out the village, which is beyond his reach.

"Eat the consequences of your own evil......."

Wang Ming sighed, happy and a little depressed.

Yao Ming's outburst and Chandler's early exit disrupted Wang's deployment tomorrow.

Fortunately, the Kings have a lot of reserves inside, and at critical moments, Marcin Gortat can also go up.

"In terms of defense, Gortat is several grades worse than Chandler, but at this time, Yao Ming is in hot form, and the difference in the defense of interior players is almost invisible."

Wang Mingming pulled Gortat and said: "You just need to push him out of the penalty area, I don't ask you to be able to prevent him from scoring a single goal, as long as he makes every shot outside the penalty area, even if your mission is successful." ”

Gortat listened to what Wang Mingming said, and suddenly he was not very happy in his heart, what does the coach mean, looking down on him to be able to prevent Yao Ming?

He nodded on his face, but swore in his heart that he must look good for Yao Ming for a while.

Pause back.

The Kings attacked, and Gortat blocked for Kidd from the outside.

Adelman was surprised by the quality of Gortat's cover, a shiny bald head with a pick-and-roll that was not inferior to Chandler's, and easily blocked the skinny Brooks for Kidd.

Kidd holds the ball in his right hand, passes the pick-and-roll, and has a wide field of vision in front of him.

Fake fax suddenly, change direction to go to the bottom line, the Rockets changed to a regional joint defense at this moment, the center of gravity is on the right side of the Kings with the ball, Kidd broke through at the top of the arc, and the grasp of the regional joint defense was just right, a beautiful weak side transfer, giving Artest a vacant position at the top of the 45-degree arc.

Artest makes a three-point jumper!

"Huh!"

Hit.

It was Artest's first three-pointer of the game, after he tried a three-point shot and didn't hit it.

Switching offense and defense, Rocket Yao Ming asked for the ball in the low post.

Gortat was originally going to go around the front, but Wang Mingming's words aroused his rebellious mentality, and instead of choosing to go around the front, he firmly stood behind Yao Ming

But Yao Ming's territory is very stable, like a rock, not moving at all.

"Bang!"

Yao Ming bumped into Gortat, felt the distribution of Gortat's defensive strength, and seemed to only guard him from going to the middle.

In an instant, Yao Ming chose a beautiful bottom line and turned around.

"Turn around, turn around, turn around again!"

The players of the two teams turned a lot in this game, and the effect of turning was particularly good, and the defenders didn't have time to make up for the defense, and Yao Ming had already erased Gortat.

Yao Ming turned around slightly, and Gortat was pushed behind.

"Oops!"

Gortat was stuck in the main position at this time, and he couldn't defend anymore, and with Yao Ming on his side, he felt like he was sticking to a moving mountain.

"Bang!"

Yao Ming completed the violent buckle with both hands, the weight of more than 250 catties was hung in the frame, and the entire basketball hoop was bent down.

Loosen the ground, the basketball hoop rebounds, shaking non-stop.

Gortat blamed himself, and just promised the coach to guard against Yao Ming, but as soon as he got on the field, he let Yao Ming score, which was tantamount to living up to the coach's expectations.

He didn't dare to look at the coach on the sidelines, and quickly served the bottom ball.

Up front, Kidd is organized in the high post.

High block, he passes the ball to DeRozan on the weak side.

DeRozan has been silent since the opening, taking the ball at this time, changing direction and breaking through, and suddenly bursting with speed, so that Gallinari did not have time to defend.

Breaking through from the right side of the basketball court, the right side has just opened up space, and there is no defense.

Stop, mid-range jumper.

No.

But the rebounding ball bounced very fast, and Chris Bosh happened to be wandering in the front court, and subconsciously reached out and flicked it away, pushing away the rebounding ball that Yao Ming had arrived.

Kidd was quick and pulled back the rebound.

Clamp and raise your arms high.

Don't look at people hitting the ground for a point.

Gortat, who was ambushed on the bottom line, received the ball, Yao Ming was in front of the penalty area at this time, turned around, Gortat opened his eyes angrily, raised his arms high, opened a big circle, took three steps and made two steps, jumped high, as if he was going to strike iron, roared angrily, and wanted to dunk violently regardless of the ground.

Yao Ming is dedicated, but he can't make a perfect defense every time, and Gortat has already jumped high in the air

Yao Ming let the ball go, allowing Gortat to complete the wheel arm dunk.

"Bang!"

Gortat roared angrily, and the power of the dunk was not much better than Yao Ming before, and then he glared at Yao Ming fiercely when he landed, the gaze of a tough guy from Eastern Europe.

Yao Ming smiled dumbly, picked up the basketball and sent the baseline ball.

Switching offense and defense, after Yao Mingka is in the main position, he takes the initiative to ask for the ball.

He has already scored 19 points, and the third quarter is just over the halfway point, and the entire third quarter has already scored 8 points, and he is in hot form.

Gortat, who was stuck by the card owner, burst out with all his strength and was stuck in Yao Ming's back.

Yao Ming took the ball, his shoulders sank, like a mountain, and pushed over.

"Bang!"

On the outer edge of the big forbidden area, Yao Ming's small hook hand lightly hooked.

"It's too far!" Gortat lifted his head and reached out feebly, trying to grab the basketball that had passed over his head, but he couldn't touch it.

He turned his head and watched as the basketball made a perfect arc and plunged headlong into the net.

"Huh!"

Yao Ming scored 10 points in a single quarter.

The hook on the edge of the big penalty area can only be used by a few people in the NBA today, and a stable one like Yao Ming is also unique, and it has almost become one of his tricks.

Gortat can't be blocked, and the physical confrontation is there, but for Yao Ming, it's not enough.

The king will call a timeout again tomorrow.

As for how to defend Yao Ming, Wang Mingming felt tricky, now Yao Ming is in hot condition, and he is a big killer for the Rockets' positional attack, and even because of Yao Ming's attack, the entire Rockets' offense has been revitalized.

The offensive efficiency of the Rockets is higher than that of the Kings, and the Kings will be at a disadvantage when they are on the court.

Wang tomorrow can only choose to speed up and increase the scramble for offensive rebounds, so as to increase more offensive opportunities and use volume to counter the opponent's quality.

But it wasn't a long-term solution, and the third quarter ended with the Rockets leading the Kings by seven points, 79-72.

Adelman was very pleased with the team's performance in the third quarter, and Adelman began the fourth quarter and gave an interview to reporters on the spot.

"We played at our best, Yao Ming shot a lot in the third quarter and hit a very high percentage. We stuck to the low post and stuck to the Kings inside, and now it seems that the offense is working, and I hope the players can maintain that in the fourth quarter and play with the aggressiveness that we did in Houston. ”
