Chapter 347: Don't Hide from You
In this finals, the situation outside the stadium is turbulent, but there is no wave on the field.
In the first quarter of the game, Dazhi exploded, facing Battier, who was 10 centimeters shorter, Dazhi repeatedly hit shots, and he had already scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter.
Battier has only started to try to reach the power forward position this season, with his excellent defensive sense and a pair of long arms, he may have some experience in low-post defense, but in the face of a super high pitcher like Dazhi, there is really no way at all.
Of course, Dazhi's ability to get 5 three-pointers is also thanks to the ability of his teammates to disrupt the opponent's defense.
Without O'Neill on the field, Hu Qingniu felt that his tactical board suddenly brightened. He doesn't have to worry about the loss of Yu and Yao Ming, anyway, everyone will suffer now.
Not only did he not want to be a big man, but Hu Qingniu still insisted that Yao Ming be present for one minute, and he would use Dazhi to take one big and four small. The rest of Wade, Tony Allen, Josh, and Ariza were rampaging through the opponent's hinterland like a lit fire bull. The Rockets' defensive formation has long been torn to shreds, and Dazhi has been given a lot of misplaced and even empty three-point shooting opportunities. Even if it is a normal matchup, Yao Ming can't defend beyond the three-point line every time.
In the first quarter alone, the Rockets trailed by 12 points, which left the players frustrated.
As soon as the second quarter began, Hardaway corrected his mentality, gave up unnecessary passing in order to drive his teammates, and began to show his top-notch offensive skills that he did not easily show.
Facing Wade, Hardaway spread his feet slightly, the ball slapped back and forth, and suddenly after a back change of hands dribbled, his right hand slammed into the ground and pulled the ball up!
One step out, Hardaway finally took Wade half a position ahead of him with his experience and technology. The offensive players were always in the driver's seat, and Wade was forced to face to the left, already one step slower. Hardaway's long legs passed, and Wade could only follow Hardaway sideways into the box.
One step, two steps, three steps!
Hardaway's pace wasn't fast enough, his shoulders weren't tough enough, and after a few steps, Wade overtook to the limit, but was once again separated between Hardaway and the basket.
Just when everyone sighed that Wade could really do whatever he wanted when he ran fast.
Penny tapped his toes lightly, pulled the ball with his right hand, and turned around, shaking Wade in a daze. Then he faced Dazhi for a layup, tossed and turned in the air, his waist turned into a willow branch, dodged Dazhi's pounce, and then threw a backhand, and the two points were easy to get!
What a wonderful goal, even the away Bobcats fans did not hesitate to give thunderous applause!
The home fans cheered on the visiting players, which annoyed Wade, who was in a hurry.
Wade received the ball in the backcourt, like an antelope cheetah, drove straight in, and no one could stop him!
and Hardaway, who is tall and arm-long, is slightly entangled outside the three-point line.
Suddenly, Wade's shoulders shook violently, and the unicorn arm slapped down hard!
"Bang" explosion!
Wade quickly got out of a position under his crotch, and the speed and power were fascinating!
Facing Yao Mingzhen's basket, Wade shouted, shouldered Da Yao, separated the distance, and jumped strongly.
Stretch your right hand as straight as you can, hold the ball, and play the board with a nimble pick.
Bang! Swish! ”
The ball went in, and Yao Ming could only look at the ball and sigh, he was already a step slower, and he could only foul if he wanted to interfere with the ball, but it was not that time. His foul count is valuable and even key to the game. If he goes out of trouble because of a foul, it is foreseeable that the Rockets' offense and defense will have to drop a lot. Unlike the Bobcats, they don't have as many tactical options, and Yao Ming and Hardaway are indispensable.
With the individual scores of Hardaway and Yao Ming, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Rockets actually bit the score tightly and did not continue to open the gap.
It wasn't until the beginning of the fourth quarter that the margin was even narrowed to within 10 points.
Hu Qingniu wasted a timeout for this, and deliberately told the players on the field to continue to use speed to tear apart the defense. But after returning to the court, the Bobcats still failed to bring the rhythm of the game. Probably the players are tired of running, and their physical strength is restricting them.
To add insult to injury, Yao Ming began to exert his power again.
First, Howard wanted to try the new things he had learned, and turned around to shoot with his back, but he didn't think that Yao Ming had not been deceived, and he fanned the basketball on tiptoe slightly.
On the offensive end, Howard was even more decent.
Leaning back with his back, turning around and hooking his hand, in the middle distance, Yao Ming's offensive three-board axe made Howard lose his temper, he couldn't reach it, and he couldn't push it.
The difference in points is also rapidly narrowing, and there is only three points left!
Looking at Howard, who was ravaged on the field, Hu Qingniu thought a little bit about O'Neill at this time. Howard can play other centers in the league, even if Duncan comes, it is not so miserable, Yao Ming really restrained him to death. made all his muscles useless.
ESPN's commentators immediately felt that they had found a flaw in Hu Qingniu, and began to advocate what would have happened if O'Neal was there, and decided that the Bobcats would lose this game at the center position.
Of course, Hu Qingniu, who was still in the stadium coach's box, didn't know this, and he was thinking about how to limit Yao Ming when the team couldn't raise the speed.
As soon as Hu Qingniu turned around, he was covered in muscles, and Patrick Ewing, who was five big and three thick, sat behind him, and asked angrily.
"Coach, what's the matter?"
"It's okay......"
Ewing is of course a good candidate, there is no problem at all with Yao Ming on this head, Yao Ming will be pushed out of the forbidden area by Ewing if he is not good.
Ewing, who has been by Hu Qingniu's side since retiring, is the best among the celebrities in the Bobcat team who takes the best care of his body. Now that Boss Joe and Barkley are getting fatter and fatter, Ewing's various body indices are still rising. On the team's training day, no player could match him in bench press and squat, which means that no player's core strength was stronger than him, and neither was O'Neal, who was born with divine power. So much so that the Bobcats are joking that Ewing can make a comeback next season with a jersey.
But alas, Ewing is now registered as an assistant coach, not a player, and of course he can't play.
So, Hu Qingniu's eyes continued to sweep back, until he reached the side of the water dispenser, where there was a strong man like an iron tower turned sideways, as if he was deliberately avoiding Hu Qingniu's sight.
Hu Qingniu laughed, of course he knew who it was.
"Lao Sa, don't hide from you! Hurry up and warm up and get ready! ”
If last year's Sabonis was still an old and sick veteran, then this year's Sabonis has long since returned to the physical state of the legendary "roof of the world".
It's just that there are too many centers in the Bobcats, and the champion Howard can only get 20 minutes of playing time, and the old Sabonis has a contract at the end of this season, and there is a high probability of retirement, which has of course become the team's third choice. With a multi-million contract all season, he didn't play more than 100 minutes, but the old Sabonis had already seen it, watching the game for free in the VIP position, and enjoying himself off the field.
No, the opportunity to play came to the door, and he hid in by himself!
