Chapter 348: Pause Details

"Lao Sa, just let you play for five minutes, and you won't be able to sweat."

Hu Qingniu begged bitterly, and old Sabonis came over to warm up. Ewing also stepped forward to help pull the ligaments. I haven't played for a long time, and Lao Sa is already an old arm and leg, and if he doesn't pull the ligaments apart in the warm-up, he is really prone to injury.

Kenny Smith, who commented on the bench, also saw what was happening on the sidelines, and he asked in confusion.

"It seems that Hu is ready to send the veteran Sabonis on the field, but Sabonis is not only a veteran, but also has a serious injury history, can he compete with Yao Ming, who is as strong as an ox?"

Barkley said dismissively.

"Kenny, you don't understand that. In Hu's hands, there are no veterans and injuries, and his players must all be healthy and healthy......"

Not as Buckledo said, when the Rockets attacked on the court, the ball was destroyed by Tony Allen out of the bottom line, and when the dead ball time came, Hu Qingniu also found an opportunity to replace Sabonis on the court.

The Bobcats on-court lineup became, Sabonis, Dazhi, Josh, Ragabel and Wade, and instantly converted into a tall lineup of twin towers. Toni Allen was substituted, and Hu Qingniu still believed in Ragabel's three-point firepower at the critical moment, which could open up space for the team. Anyway, Mike Miller on the opposite side is a shooter, and he can't use his body to force Ragabel.

Howard, whose arms muscles were already visibly bulging, walked down in frustration, he had been humiliated and completely lost himself. Hu Qingniu still said a few words of encouragement, this 19-year-old boy needs someone to guide and guide him very much, and he will give up on himself if he doesn't pay attention to it.

Sabonis, who is also huge, is on the court like this, and the audience is a little dumbfounded, and if you don't pay close attention, many fans think that Sabonis has retired as an assistant coach of the Bobcats. It was Sabonis' first playoff appearance. A question echoed in the minds of the audience, can Sabonis resist the little giant Yao Ming of the East.

Regardless, Yao Ming was pleasantly surprised to see Sabonis on the field, Sabonis was both his idol and his teacher, and a thick hug was inevitable.

The relationship is good, and the relationship is good, and you still have to fight with real guns on the field. Hu Qingniu has seen even if it is a brother, Gasol is full of sparks on the field, and the scene of little Gasol roaring after a fierce foul on his brother is even more impressive.

The stadium is like a battlefield, and when it comes to the field, it is all opponents!

Reaching the finals and being able to confront his idol Sabonis, Yao Ming is happy, and his position is more positive than just now. Just now the single Howard was a tank crushing the small three-wheeler, and now it is the real tank battle.

Yao Ming tentatively leaned his whole body up, and as he expected, Sabonis stood like a mountain, not moving.

"Be old and strong!" Yao Ming laughed, before the words fell, he used force under his feet, and his body turned to the right, which was to be caught off guard.

At that time, Yao Ming was injured and raised in Hu Qingniu for a month, and Lao Sa practiced with him for a month, and he was already familiar with it, but Yao Ming's surprise did not have an effect. Lao Sa withdrew with his left foot and pushed it to the side, but he forced Yao Ming out of the bottom line.

At this time, Lao Sa's verbal counterattack came.

"I like your old saying better, ginger is still old and spicy!"

Yao Ming had just finished bullying Howard, and now he was really uncomfortable with a tonnage comparable to himself. Yao Ming stepped up his efforts, but no matter how he tried it, Lao Sa still firmly occupied the advantageous position under the basket and would not give up a cent.

The scene on the field made many people, including Barkley, dumbfounded, and at first, they were all guessing how much oil Lao Sa still had in the tank, which could withstand Yao Ming by a few points. Looking at it now, Yao Ming didn't even take advantage of the slightest physically.

Looking at Lao Sa, who had a somewhat gray beard, they couldn't help but sigh, this old man is hard enough.

If he couldn't get a favorable position, Yao Ming had to forcibly lean on Lao Sa and turn around and hook his hand. The ball barely passed Lao Sa's fingertips and swirled around the hoop twice before reluctantly sliding into the basket.

Laymen watched the excitement, and the Rocket fans were elated and praised one after another, this ball was played hard!

Insiders, Rockets head coach Van Gundy Jr. showed a sad look on his face, and since the playoffs, Van Gundy Jr. has seen Yao Ming play so hard for the first time. Against Duncan and O'Neal, Yao Ming has a height advantage, one-on-one, and scoring can be said to be very easy. But Sabonis is 2.21 meters tall, and his arm span is longer than Yao Ming, which smooths out the height gap, and his core strength is not inferior to Yao Ming's young man. Don't look at the ball in the end, but Yao Ming took a hard breath and Xiao Fan saw it.

This ball is not fun!

Sure enough, Van Gundy Jr.'s judgment of the court situation was accurate.

In the next five minutes, Yao Ming's offensive efficiency inevitably declined, although he still maintained the efficiency of 6 shots and 3 shots, but you must know that the Rockets relied on Yao Ming's offensive success rate of up to 80% to reverse the score throughout the game. Now Yao Ming's offensive efficiency has declined, which is tantamount to a catastrophe for the rocket.

After only five minutes of confrontation, Yao Ming even felt that it was more expensive than the previous 30 minutes. It took a lot of effort, Yao Ming even used a low-post turn feint, and followed by a complex offensive method of three small hooks to put the ball into the basket again.

Panting, Yao Ming glanced at it, but little Van Gundy on the sidelines was still indifferent. Yao Ming's heart darkened, this bald head coach is good at everything, serious and responsible, and he also values him very much, but he has no eyesight to see, I am almost out of breath, don't call a timeout!

Yao Ming had no choice but to take the initiative to apply for a suspension.

After the game, little Van Gundy was really very unhappy with Yao Ming's pause.

"Yao, we only have two timeouts, you scored a beautiful goal just now, we should be in a good breath again. Now pause, our offensive momentum stalls. ”

Yao Ming also said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, coach. I really can't run, I'm afraid that the other party will take the opportunity to start a fast attack. ”

casually found a reason, Yao Ming sat on the ground directly, he was really tired, and he couldn't wait for others to give up a place.

The Rocket team doctors hurriedly put on props such as ice packs to help Yao Ming recover his strength better. Van Gundy Jr. was not going to call a timeout, and during the 60 seconds of the timeout, he could only say a few words of encouragement to the players, and stressed that they only had one timeout. This pause is precious and cannot be used until the last minute.

On the other hand, the Bobcats bench, the moment the players left the game, 5 positions were immediately vacated, and the team's medical staff also acted quickly, with a clear division of labor and an orderly manner. And Hu Qingniu also immediately took out the tactical board and arranged the next few tactical possibilities.

During the pause, the benches of the two teams were also broadcast live, but the huge difference between the two teams was noticeable even to fans. It's probably about the team's heritage, experience, attention to detail, and the health of the management.
