Chapter 60: Is This Still the Boss?

Yao Ming has been in good form in the past two years, and although he has limitations defensively, he still has a lot of value in this era.

Half of the top 20 stars in the NBA are mainly breakthrough or low-post offense, such as James, Wade, Howard, Duncan, Stoudemire and other stars, once they encounter the Rockets during the Yao Ming period, the shooting percentage will drop very sharply, especially James and Howard.

Thinking about the achievements of the Magic, Cavaliers, and Heat over the years, Yao Ming has a great value on the defensive end, whether he is in the Western or Eastern teams, after all, he has not yet entered the era of small ball.

Today, the Lakers players don't dare to enter the restricted area at will, unless they can seduce Yao Ming out, even Lao Ke will not easily take the ball to the basket and kill it, Tu Yao's mountain-like body is too intimidating.

Yao Hei always said that Yao Ming was afraid of kites, but in fact, what Tu Yao was afraid of was not being pulled out by kite men like Boozer and Bosh, but that he would be beaten into a sieve under the basket when he went out.

"If the Rockets want to have a big forward who can defend to the outside and help defend well, then aren't we going to be beaten into pigs' heads?"

Zhao Dashao saw Yao Ming being led out of the penalty area by Gasol, Kobe Bryant immediately smashed into the basket on the weak side to complete the dunk, and accidentally said a very traitorous word, which provoked the Zen master next to him to also glance at him.

"Derek's defense, what do you think?"

The Zen master not only looked at him, but also asked Young Master Zhao a word.

"What else can you think of it?"

Zhao Dashao's words made the Zen master frown for a while, and he slapped it earlier if he was someone else, but this little bastard was really fine.

After the Rockets played Yao Ming a few times after the opening and made a foul on Bynum, the Lakers' outside players could only start to help with the pack, and the Rockets then began to storm Fisher.

The footsteps of the old fish have once again become a breakthrough, Alstom's brainless small throw, which has not been seen for a long time, is actually re-emerging today, the key is to fight twice in a row, which makes the Zen master very painful!

The Rockets also have a faster little black bean on the bench, and he is afraid that he will be burst into a sieve when he goes up.

The Zen master gave Young Master Zhao more or less playing time, mainly to see how Fisher performed.

Today it is obvious that Fisher performed badly on the defensive end, and even the offense was out of shape, missing a ball twice, and then looking at Bynum, who was fouled by Yao Ming again, the Zen master couldn't bear it.

After only five minutes of playing in the first quarter, Zhao Dashao was replaced, which was much earlier than his playing time in the previous games.

The score was 8-6, and the Lakers trailed by two points.

Not only did the Zen master replace Fisher, but Bynum also performed badly today, missing two shots in a row, but two fouls in five minutes, which is the big problem.

Zhao Dashao and Odom were replaced together, and the Lakers' on-court lineup became: Zhao Dashao, Kobe, Ariza, Odom, Gasol.

Alston was even more energetic when he saw Zhao Dashao, he felt that even the old fish had been blown up by himself, and an 18-year-old rookie rookie could still turn the sky upside down?

Zhao Dashao was not interested in competing with him, and received the ball expressionlessly behind the court.

Alstom, like most opponents, was going to press in close quarters as soon as he saw his thin stature.

Zhao Dashao snorted in his heart, got rid of Alstom with a change of direction, safely dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and played a tactical gesture that only his teammates could understand.

Gasol and Odom each took their places, and Bryant went around the baseline to the wing.

Zhao Dashao's basketball passed just right, and he landed in the bottom corner according to the tactical arrangement.

Gasol and Odom also pulled the defenders to the weak side, and Kobe Bryant faced Maddy to start a heads-up.

If it were changed to two years ago, Maddy's defense would make Kobe Bryant very uncomfortable, and such a single play would not be efficient.

But this year, Maddy's pace and movements obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and it didn't take much effort for Kobe Bryant to complete the breakthrough and score the ball before Yao Ming and Scola returned to defense.

Zhao Dashao felt that he looked very lonely in the bottom corner, he had a vacant position just now, but Kobe Bryant would not pass the ball to him when he had the opportunity unless he was attacked back and forth, which can only be blamed on Maddie's current defense is too scummy.

"This game is so fun, it's over when you watch the show."

Zhao Dashao secretly thought when he returned to defense, but at this time his team status was like this, so he could only wait patiently for the opportunity.

But he's still very aggressive on the defensive end, and most of the rookies don't have much to do, so if they lose their motivation because of this, they won't be able to seize the opportunity when it comes.

In the next few attacks of the Lakers, Zhao Dashao passed the ball to the place where it should be passed according to the tactics, and he actively moved without the ball according to the tactics.

Chinese fans felt that Zhao Dashao was very bored that he did not have a chance to perform, but the Zen master was very satisfied with this performance.

It's really not all point guards can execute tactics well, the Rockets' defense is not as younger brother as the Thunder, and Zhao Dashao, a rookie, can not make mistakes under the Rockets' defense full of traps and pressure, and still launch tactics according to the team's tactics and offensive rhythm, which is remarkable in itself.

But what satisfied the Zen master the most was that Zhao Dashao did not make a mistake on the defensive end, and Alston tried to burst twice after he came on the court, but both missed under the tacit defense of Zhao Dashao and his interior teammates, and he even stole a rebound.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Adelman saw Zhao Dashao's performance on the sidelines that did not match his age, and secretly kept this name in his heart.

He really hasn't seen an 18-year-old guy with such a mature style of play, and Brooks is in his third season this year, and he still can't do it with such sophistication and composure.

Starting from the middle of the first quarter, the hot Kobe Bryant attacked the main half of the quarter in a row, and the scoring data easily came to 11 points, and the Lakers also led the Rockets by 7 points at 20:13.

Zhao Dashao still settled in the bottom corner according to the tactics after this pass, seeing that Kobe Bryant hit the hinterland again in the double defense of Artest and Landry, Brooks also turned around and prepared to participate in the bag, and couldn't help but muttered softly: "Boss, I'm empty again, a three-point pass in the bottom corner, please!" ”

Kobe Bryant didn't even look at him, and directly smashed the basket and trembled!

"I'm drafting uncle!"

Zhao Dashao is mature again, and his mentality is a little unstable at the moment, this feeling of being a little unpleasant is really uncomfortable!

The Rockets grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack!

Brooks took advantage of his speed and went to the front court to take advantage of Zhao Dashao's unstable footing and forced a stop-and-go jump shot to complete the goal.

"Why don't you guard against it?"

Bryant was a little unhappy after Brooks' goal, and he felt that the ball should be able to be prevented.

"I guarded it, he raised his hand and threw it in, what is there to say?"

Zhao Dashao chased all the way, tired like a dog, and couldn't help but reply when he heard the words, but these words immediately made Kobe's face look ugly.

"Boy, if you make a mistake, you have to admit it, I don't want to see you talk back again, this is not training, do you understand!?"

Kobe Bryant's tone was emotional, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhao Dashao's talk to him in the game.

What else can Zhao Dashao say, although there are 10,000 grass and mud horses running in his heart, he really can't talk back anymore, because this is not his team, and this unreasonable attitude is the characteristic of most of the core.

The Lakers players didn't speak, Gasol and Wharton, who had just come on the court, were on guard, if Zhao Dashao fought back and provoked Kobe Bryant to step down, then they would go up to persuade him.

Zhao Dashao didn't speak, that is, it was fine, of course they wouldn't make any moves, this kind of thing is too common in the NBA.

The Zen master asked for a timeout at this time, and it was time for Kobe Bryant to rest.

"Boy, fight hard, it's time for you to perform."

Young Master Zhao still wanted to continue to play after the timeout, and then he found that Kobe Bryant was really elusive, and actually encouraged him again.

"Understood!"

Zhao Dashao nodded, but he couldn't laugh, after all, he was very depressed by the boss just now.

Kobe Bryant didn't care, and pulled Gasol to discuss some of the problems that had just arisen.

The Lakers entered the rotation time at this time, and the lineup on the court became: Zhao Dashao, Famar, Wharton, Powell, Odom, this is a small lineup.

Zhao Dashao's eyes lit up, the Zen master had just given an order, unless he entered the pause time again, the next time should be accelerated, that is to say, he would play "fast".

The Rockets can also play fast this season, and the two teams have entered a big mess in the rotation time.

At this time, the talent of the control player determines the efficiency of the two sides to play blindly.

In this regard, Zhao Dashao is not only more talented, but his awareness and experience are far more abundant than Brooks, who is four years older, and helped the Lakers widen the gap to double digits in a few rounds, and he finally scored his first score today with a three-point shot after a block.

"The feeling of having the ball in your hands...... It's cool! ”

Zhao Dashao was autistic for almost a while, and at this time he really had a sense of happiness that wanted to cry.

"Well done!"

The Zen master whispered to Kobe Bryant beside him from the sidelines.

"He's very similar to me, I also entered the league at the age of 18, and I suffered a little bit in my first season, so I was motivated to train and I was able to seize the opportunity when it came."

Kobe Bryant is still not good at words, but these words can already make people hear what he means.

Lao Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, his impression of Kobe Bryant should not be so mature, and it seems that last season's failure made him grow again.

The Zen master didn't speak again, but he was looking forward to this season in his heart, because such a Kobe had already surpassed his best imagination.

Zhao Dashao didn't know that Kobe Bryant was deliberately suppressing him just now, but this was not out of malice, but wanted him to rebound more.

Zhao Dashao did perform well, he finally got the ball, of course, let the coaching staff and fans see his performance.

This time, he not only scored by himself, but also did not forget to make cakes for his teammates.

Powell, who had formed a tacit understanding with him in the summer league, received two wonderful passes from him in the last three minutes of the quarter and scored easily.

Famar and Odom also hit a three-pointer from the outside.

He hit two shots of his own, and the Lakers' bench played a very unreal game today, as they played a 15-7 spurt in the rotation to give the Lakers a 14-point lead at 35-21 in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, Zhao Dashao finally heard the Lakers fans shouting his name when he left the court and gave him a round of applause.

His performance in the past few minutes is like a copy of Nash, and his cooperation with Odom is actually a bit of Nash + Xiaosi, Lakers fans feel that such a Laker has a unique flavor, and of course they are willing to give him applause.
