On Dec. 5, the Rockets faced the Hornets.

In this game, the Rockets first changed formations, Boris Diorti started the lineup, and Yao Ming entered the restricted area.

The half-time acceleration is not used for the time being, the reason is that the half-time acceleration needs to be practiced, and it can only be used to give points if it is taken out directly without practice.

Changing the formation on the spot, Qiao Hai made countless adjustments before the game, emphasizing some changes after the change of formation over and over again.

But after the start of the game, mistakes in tactical coordination were inevitable.

……

In the jump ball link, Yao Ming's advantage was still extremely huge, and he easily defeated the Hornets' starting center Sean Lukes to help the Rockets get the ball in the opening game.

In the first attack of the opening game, Gary Payton advanced to the front court with the ball, and the top of the arc position was given to Wade first.

Yao Ming is still in the high position, but his position is more on the weak side.

The strong side was completely occupied by Boris Dior, Wade held the ball, and the object of cooperation changed from Yao Ming to Dior, but after a single block on the outside, the Rocket's previous Yao Ming weak-side tactics failed to play.

The reason is that Boris Dio has nowhere to go but to retreat to the weak side.

Then, in an instant, the weak side became very crowded, and Yao Ming was pulled outside the three-point line.

Wade couldn't find a chance to pass the ball, so he could only rush in, break through to the layup, and was interfered with by Jamal Mashburn and missed.

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai was already frowning.

With both hands in their pockets, the Hornets had already finished a wave of offense, Byron Davis forced the inside line to score a goal, and the Hornets scored first.

At this time, Qiao Hai also began to direct the rocket's attack on the sidelines.

"Yao, go inside, Boris, pull out!"

Qiao Hai's solution was simple and crude, Yao Ming went in and went to the low position, and Boris Dior went out and completely stood in the high position.

The offense on the Rockets suddenly became another set of tactics they practiced in the summer — the high-and-low style of play in Princeton's offense.

On the court, Gary Payton went around the free throw line after high on the screen, and after pulling the low post, he gave the ball in.

Yao Ming received the ball, turned around and operated, teased Sean Lukes with his pace change, and then turned around and made a backhand layup to score 2 points.

It looked like the Rockets' offense was alive, after all, they scored.

But the problem still looms.

Yao Ming did not stand in the high position, but went to the low position, although it was on the weak side, it still affected the space on the strong side.

There is no room for a small breakthrough on the outside, but this attack is suddenly single, either Boris Dio's high-post strategy, or Yao Ming's low-post single, with an empty pass to the empty position.

There are not so many changes, and the attack is rigid.

Qiao Hai shook his head and said to Stan Lefu beside him: "It seems that Boris can't mention the starter. ”

Stan Lefu nodded: "Then you can only try to speed up at halftime." ”

"Half-time acceleration can't be used now, this thing, if you don't practice it, rashly use it outside, there will be chaos on the field."

Qiao Hai sat back in his place and thought for a while: "In this way, we still return to the regular style of play and let Chris (Anderson) prepare to play." ”

In the end, Qiao Hai still decided to replace Chris Anderson again, liberate Yao Ming, and win this game first.

Soon, the game went to the dead-ball stage.

At this time, the game had been played for more than four minutes, and the Rockets trailed their opponents by 3 points 6:9.

The Rockets replaced Chris Anderson at this time, the purpose was too obvious, and on the Hornets' side, head coach Tim Floyd quickly responded and replaced him with rookie power forward David West, who also looked like he was going to compete with the Rockets on the offensive end.

But it has to be said that Tim Floyd's previous failures with the Bulls cannot be considered accidental, and his adjustments are always very nonsensical, and this time is no different.

Replaced David West with the Rockets in exchange for Chris Anderson and removed Sean Lukes.

The Hornets suddenly lost the center of the frame, and Qiao Hai quickly made further adjustments: "Hit the basket!" ”

Yao Ming returned to the high position, and his small cooperation with Wade, Gary Payton and Ron Artest is also getting better and better, and the three small outside line hit the inside line in a row, and the Rockets quickly erased the 3-point difference and achieved a score overtake.

And because Chris Anderson played, the Rockets' outstanding defense returned, and the Hornets were instantly miserable by the Rockets' defense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Hornets by 4 points at 23:19.

In the second quarter of the game, after the Rockets replaced the bench, the Hornets' offense broke out, and the two teams played an offensive battle in the first quarter, with the score of 31:29, and the Rockets further widened the difference by 2 points.

At halftime, the Rockets led the Hornets by six points.

In the third quarter, the Rockets played with all the main force again, and the defense broke out completely, and the defensive Hornets only scored 12 points in a single quarter, almost hitting a new low this season.

Of course, in this quarter, the Rockets' own offense did not play well, scoring only 16 points, so after three quarters, the Rockets' lead was only 10 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets lost by 1 point.

But in the end, they still won the game 83-74.

Looking at the scoreline, it was clearly another defensive victory!

……

So far this season, Yao Ming, Gary Payton and Dwyanwade have averaged just over 15 points per game, and Ron Artest, the third scorer of the Rockets last season, has even averaged just over 13 points per game.

"The Rockets' bench lineup looks great, but none of the players have scored in double figures, not even more than eight points per game."

"Obviously, the rocket's offense is holding them back."

In the analysis post of the HOOP forum, the offensive problem of the Rockets has obviously been noticed by many people.

In fact, originally, the Rockets have been winning, and so far they have only lost two games, which is enough to cover up something.

But in the past two games, the Rocket's change of formation has been seen by many people, and Qiao Hai seems to be doing his best to solve the offensive problem, which has also been paid attention to by many people.

And so the discussion began.

"Actually, the Rockets have a very good record, 16-2, which is the best in the league, and I don't think they have to be so impatient to make changes."

There was a reply that attracted Qiao Hai's attention and made him stop "footsteps".

Qiao Hai thought about it, and he felt that this reply was very right.

Indeed, there is no need for impatience at all with rockets!

The 16-2 record has exceeded countless people's expectations, and at this time, the Rockets only need to maintain their basic set on the defensive end to ensure the most basic victory.

Then, it is only a matter of time before we slowly make tactical changes and completely solve the offensive problem!

Thinking about this, Qiao Hai made a decision, he immediately entered the system and took out a new training plan......
