Chapter 304: Simple People Do Simple Things (4/4!) 1340 monthly pass plus more! )
The system didn't respond anymore, just as it had been there.
However, Tang Tian understood it himself.
This disappears, it seems right?
Otherwise, how to highlight the awesomeness of the system? How to highlight the core value of his host?
Here's the thing.
And it is slowly disappearing, this feeling is like the poem in Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Kangqiao".
Gently I go, as gently I come?
The game on the field continued, and Yi Jianlian's choice was very problematic, and he was replaced by Thibodeau after playing less than half a quarter.
Seeing that Yi Jianlian was gone, Tang Tian also took the opportunity to replace O'Neill with Matthews and played a small lineup.
Yao Ming was still difficult to stop under the basket, but he had a lot of physical exertion after the Cavaliers played fast.
And the biggest difference between Thibodeau and Tang Tian is that he is very dependent on the starters, and he plays almost the whole quarter with the main force.
At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Cavaliers by four points, 29-25.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Thibodeau finally came off the bench.
Sun Yue, Maddy, Battier, Scola, Jordan Jr.
The Cavaliers, on their side, have a normal rotation: Jason Williams, Matthews, Artest, Ryan Anderson and Channing Fry.
Williams dribbled to the frontcourt, found Ryan Anderson to block the pick-and-roll, and then pulled a pass-back to Anderson without looking at the man.
Anderson caught the ball and stepped back to the three-point line, which was shot off a bit.
However, before Jordan Jr. could jump, Artest came out of the diagonal side, grabbed the frontcourt rebound, and after a feint shook Jordan Jr. away, he jumped again and caused the latter's thug to foul.
Little Jordan holds his head in his hands, his little brother who was damaged by Artest last season, has made rapid progress, but when he meets this big brother, he is still instinctively weak.
Artest hit both free throws, and the Cavaliers clung to the score.
Sun Yue dribbled to the frontcourt, gave Scola a high position, and after a run to get an open three-point opportunity.
Scola passed the ball, Sun Yue made a three-point shot from the outside, and Artest struggled to fly over to interfere.
The interference of this ball was limited, but Sun Yue was a little outrageous and hit the neck of the basket directly.
Tang Tian smiled bitterly at this time.
Sun Yue's shot was inaccurate, and the system's previous answer seemed to be true.
Frye picked up the rebound, the Cavaliers pushed the defense back, and Williams dribbled forward.
Although he is older, his speed as a defender is still there.
Matthews received the ball in the front court, and after a three-point feint shook Sun Yue, who was chasing the defense, he shot again.
"Huh!"
The three-pointer went into the net.
The Cavaliers overtook the score.
Artest found Matthews and gave a high-five excitedly, screaming adrenaline in his mouth.
The expressions on the court of the Rockets were slightly frustrated.
Sun Yue dribbled the ball to the front court, Maddie received the ball and hit Matthews with his back, and the continuous shaking successfully deceived the opponent, took the ball and rushed to the basket, jumping up to dunk.
Artest judged correctly at this time, and stole the ball with a slap the moment he jumped.
The Cavaliers quickly pushed back, "White Chocolate" caught the ball in the fast break, and jumped to the three-point line with a ballet in the air, passing the ball from the crotch to Anderson, who was following up.
Anderson's catcher went up and down, and the three-pointer returned.
"Toot!"
Just then, the referee's whistle came from the backfield.
It turned out that Maddie complained about the Artest hitter just now, and his temper was too big, and he was directly blown a technical foul by the referee.
There was boos from the audience.
Matthews hit a technical free throw, and the Rockets' lead has reached four points.
Continue the Cavaliers' possession.
Thibodeau roared from the sidelines, and the Rockets significantly stepped up their defensive intensity.
Williams' pass to Frye was almost cut off after the block, but fortunately, the latter reacted quickly enough to fall to the ground to grab the ball, and then gave it to Matthews in the first place.
Matthews took the ball and went straight to the basket for a layup in the confusion.
Maddie then came from the diagonal side and jumped up to block it.
Matthews collected the ball in the air before making a shot.
"Smack!"
This time he didn't dodge, Maddie directly covered Matthews, and then knocked the latter to the ground.
"Hey, you're just a rookie, a rookie!" Maddie yells at Matthews as she falls to the ground after blocking.
Artest saw it and rushed over to stand up to Maddie.
The two former teammates were entangled with each other at this time, and their mouths were very unclean.
The referee separated the two and gave Artest a technical foul.
The smell of gunpowder on the field is getting stronger and stronger.
Thibodeau used Morrow to replace Maddie from the field, Maddie seemed very upset, directly ignored Thibodeau's high-fived hand, and threw the towel handed over by Hill to the ground after sitting down.
Tang Tian didn't change Artest, and even he felt that the smell of gunpowder on the court was good for the Cavaliers.
Rookies want to grow, in addition to technology, there is also motivation, just like Artest did when he scolded Jordan Jr., and now Artest is also teaching these rookies of the Cavaliers.
Moreau hit a technical free throw, and the two sides were still separated by 3 points.
Sun Yue's outside three-point line did not score, the Cavaliers pushed back, Williams staged a magical pass again, and the back changed hands successfully deceived the defense to follow up Matthews, who took three steps after receiving the ball and scored directly with both hands.
After Matthews scored, he roared and screamed with Artest, and the ruffian in his heart was stirred up at once.
In the next few minutes, the Cavaliers fought more and more in momentum, and the rookies went on a rampage like stunned greens, scrambling in various ways.
The Cavaliers' system requires them to do the same.
In contrast, the Rockets' bench lineup without Artest is like a soulless, although there is a system, but there is no heart.
After playing more than four minutes, the Cavaliers played a wave of 14-4 and overtook the Rockets by 6 points.
Tang Tian looked at Artest at this time.
Artest fought so hard in the first game, and it has a lot to do with the contract that the Rockets offered him in the summer, just like if you look down on me, I have to prove you wrong, a very simple logic.
This is also in line with Artest's character, simple people do simple things.
But it is this kind of hard work, that kind of mental interference, that is the most scarce treasure in this alliance.
Thibodeau traded back to Yao Ming, and the Rockets stabilized their position.
But with too much playing time, I can feel that Yao Ming's physical strength has decreased a little.
In the second half, the feeling became more and more apparent.
In a defense, Yao Ming was even knocked off the field by James, although he was not injured, it was distressing to watch.
The two sides played until the last minute, tied at 105, and the Rockets had the ball.
Yao Ming catches the ball in the low post and hits O'Neal with his back.
A small hook hand after a continuous turn.
"Huh!"
Although his physical strength has bottomed out, Yao Ming's performance is still very stable.
Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout.
"Let's play a three." He said, pulling out his tactical board.
