Chapter 437: A Hot Pot Feast for the Big Shark
At the start of the game, Yao Shark jumped the ball.
Yao Mingqi jumped a step slower and failed to touch the basketball, and the Lakers got the ball on the opening opening shot.
Derrick Fisher controlled the ball and advanced to the outside of the three-point line in the frontcourt, and after a few seconds of tactical movement, the basketball was given to O'Neal, who was already stuck on the inside.
The opening was O'Neal's singles, and Qiao Hai thought of the conversation he had with Yao Ming before the game.
In the last matchup between the Rockets and the Lakers, O'Neal did not play, so this game was the first meeting between Yao Ming and O'Neal.
Before the game, Yao Ming asked Qiao Hai how to deal with a behemoth like O'Neal in American professional basketball.
Qiao Hai's advice is: "Don't use your strength to force Shak's strength, because you will definitely not be able to withstand him, so your correct approach is to overcome rigidity with softness." ”
"Tai Chi?"
"That's right, similar to Tai Chi, don't resist Shaq's strong hits, if he pushes hard, you retreat, and even jump into the water once in a while."
“……”
Qiao Hai didn't know if Yao Ming remembered his words, and the first wave of attacks in the opening game came to test whether Yao Ming could withstand the pressure from O'Neal.
……
"Shaq receives the ball, low back singles ......"
O'Neal's low-post single, Yao Ming carried it alone, but on the other side, Chris Anderson also leaned towards this side, and seemed to be hesitating whether to start with a pinch.
Although Qiao Hai on the sidelines stood close to the court, he didn't mean to interfere loudly, and at the beginning, he still decided to try Yao Ming's personal single defense.
"Sha Ke is attacking, Yao can't stand it!"
Kenny Smith yelled, it seems, at the beginning, they are about to see a tragedy, this year's rookie champion center, will be crushed by the rulers of the penalty area in recent years!
"Turn around...... Strong Investment...... Shaq has a shot! ”
Syllable!
After a crisp slap, the basketball suddenly deviated from its original track, hit the rebound hard, and bounced out!
"Yao Ming's big hat! Oh, my God! ”
Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, and Kenny Smith couldn't believe it, one second, Shaquille O'Neal was unstoppable, and the next second, the little giant Yao Ming flew and slapped O'Neal's inevitable layup!
The Rockets' bench was boiling, and there was a deafening boo from the Staples Center.
For O'Neill, the first goal of the opening game, he was deflated!
"It seems that Yao listened to your advice." Stanford looked at Yao Ming, who was waving his fists in celebration on the field, and said with a smile.
Qiao Hai nodded: "It seems like this, this ball, if you change someone else, you should choose a hard top, and then be pushed away by Shaq's last push, and Shaq completes an easy layup." ”
"Yao didn't have a hard top, he fought and retreated, and finally, Shaq pushed one last time, pushed into the air, turned around and made a layup, Yao had already stood in position, with his current height, raised his hand slightly, and the ball even came, not to mention that he jumped up completely."
"So...... The end result is a sky-splitting hat! ”
At the beginning, Yao Ming took a goal, which directly made O'Neill deflated.
The Lakers re-served on the sideline, and after a while on the outside, Bryant broke through with the ball and distributed the ball to Derrick Fisher, who cut in the air on the other side.
Fisher missed a pullup jumper, Chris Anderson grabbed the rebound inside, and the Rockets' offense began......
Steve Francis received the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, looking like he wanted to play a wave of counterattacks, but the Lakers' return defense was also fast, blocking the Rockets' fast break and falling into position in the half.
The offensive suddenly turned into a positional battle.
In the front court, Yao Ming and Steve Francis blocked and dismantled, Steve Francis rushed in, and then encountered Kobe's supplementary defense.
But Francis continued to bulge inside, and the Lakers' defense was all focused on Francis with the ball.
At the same time, Chris Anderson cut into the basket from the side of the bottom corner, and Francis caught a glimpse of Chris Anderson out of the corner of his eye, found an angle, and made a pass to the ground, and gave it straight in!
"The Lakers' interior line is empty, Chris Anderson is going to dunk!"
Chris Anderson got up to dunk, but the Lakers' defense frantically counterattacked under the basket, and after Chris Anderson jumped, he found that he had a nimble dead fat man (O'Neal) in front of him.
"Shaq's defense is very important!"
But the next second, Kenny Smith yelled, "No! He passed! ”
"Chris Anderson has passed! Yao Ming, who was in the high position, received the ball and shot a two-point shot from a long distance! ”
Swish!
"The ball is in! Yao Ming scored first! ”
Yao Ming scored first, and the Rocket's bench was boiling again, Qiao Hai also raised his right hand, cheered, looked at the bench players waving towels around him, and applauded.
The Rockets score first.
Then, the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant tried to play single, wanted to shoot in the middle distance, but was completely interfered with by Atai, so Kobe, who jumped up, actually chose to pass.
There was an exclamation at the Staples Center, and even Lakers fans didn't believe that in this case, Kobe Bryant would actually choose to pass!
The ball went to Rick Fox on the sideline, and Rick Fox also had defenders in front of him, and he could only control it for a while, and then aimed at Kobe Bryant on the other side, and passed the ball to Kobe Bryant.
"Kobe Bryant went back to the three-point line again, received the ball, and scored three points directly!"
Kobe Bryant directly shot a three-pointer, Artay's interference was a step slower, and with a bang, the ball went in directly!
"Three-point score, Kobe Bryant scored three points!"

And to Kobe.
At the top of the arc, outside the three-point line, Bryant made another three-point shot.
Swish!
"It's in again! Scored two three-pointers in the opening game! Kobe Bryant's luck seems to be explosive! ”
On the Rockets' side, Yao Ming's mid-range shot hit the iron again, and it seemed that except for the opening goal, the Rockets' offense seemed to have encountered some difficulties.
Defensively, though, everything went well.
The Lakers' offense, basketball once again gave O'Neal on the inside, O'Neal played again, this was his second single of the game.
But when he turned around, Yao Ming took another half a step and snapped!
Yao fanned Shaq's jumper again! Another cap! ”
The Staples Center was full of exclamations, and no one expected that Yao Ming would make O'Neill deflated once, and he would continue to make O'Neill deflated for the second time!

At 4:6, Yao Ming scored all 4 points from the Rockets.
Then, the Lakers' offense, Derrick Fisher assisted Rick Fox, who cut in empty-handed, to make a layup, 8:4, and the Rockets continued to trail.
The Rocket's offense is still a high-post blocking and dismantling cooperation.
In this ball, the rocket played a quick match, Steve Francis rushed in and passed the ball back directly, Yao Ming received the ball and shot directly at the high position, and scored another 2 points!

The Lakers' offense, Derrick Fisher advanced to the front court with the ball.
Give the ball to Kobe Bryant first, Kobe Bryant holds the ball alone, forces Ron Artest, tries to shoot from mid-distance, and has no chance.
Stop the ball after receiving it.
I found a teammate and gave it to O'Neill in the low post.
"Shaq gets the ball again, singles."
O'Neal played another single, because of the big hat of the first two times, Qiao Hai on the bench had a hint of anticipation, and he found that O'Neal still didn't seem to have learned his lesson and was still pushing forward.
