Chapter 162: A Small Shot

After scoring 10 points in eight minutes, Rockets coach Adelman frowned. I thought that in the defensive line he arranged, there was Maddie, the core of the Rockets, and Sean, a defensive expert. After Battier and Yao Ming are in charge of the basket beast on the inside, it is impossible for Ding Mo'an to break through the inside line and get an open shooting opportunity.

But Ding Mo'an scored 10 points, and every point trampled on the defensive tactics in Adelman's mind. Sean. Although Battier has a strong defensive prediction, his brain and prediction can't stand Ding Mo'an's wandering speed and non-stop blocking advantage in the half, and get rid of him.

And although Yao Ming sometimes comes to help defend, Ding Mo'an's shooting speed is not to mention. Unaffected, he put the ball into the basket again and again. As for Sean. Battier's breakthrough in defending Ding Mo'an was more like being restrained, and his prediction was completely planted under Ding Mo'an's speed.

Because Sean. Even though Battier had already foreseen the direction of Ding Mo'an's next step, Ding Mo'an had already accelerated past him when he reacted. As a result, the outer gate lost its effect in an instant for eight minutes. This defensive expert, who can make Kobe Bryant suffer, is dispensable in the face of Ding Mo'an's speed ball style.

It is also with Ding Mo'an's firepower that the Grizzlies can maintain a promising score despite being crushed by Yao Ming on the inside.

Now the two teams are 15:20, and the Rockets are temporarily ahead. Only five points behind, Hollins also intends to strengthen the offensive strength of the starting lineup, after all, in the face of the Rockets, this league powerhouse with top-level stars inside and outside, Hollins does not dare to hold any luck.

You have to take advantage of the momentum to open up the difference. So Hollins immediately put Kyle. Lowry, a small point guard with quite offensive power, came on the court and partnered with Ding Mo'an in the backcourt. It also means that Ding Mo'an's off-ball running offense will be reduced, and more will be transferred to breaking through with the ball.

Replace it with Kyle. Lowry and Hollins also put Darius at the small forward position. Myers, a defensive forward, was replaced, and he was replaced by Batum, who played as a firepower point on the bench. Although Batum was taught a lot of lessons by Artest in the first game of the NBA preseason against the Rockets, he still averaged 12 or 15 points per game against other teams.

For the first time this season, the Grizzlies are showing their offensive fangs to everyone. At the same time, Rockets coach Adelman is also making personnel changes. Replaced Sean, who was not performing well defensively. Battier, replaced with the early-jumping, eternally energetic Artest, another style of the Rockets' big gate, tried to limit Ding Moan again.

And Batum, who had just come on the field, couldn't help but tremble when he saw Artest. The beast's memory of the first game of the preseason is too deep for Batum to remember. It's just that Artest didn't look at Batum, and in his mind at the moment, the only thing that the Grizzlies could arouse his fighting spirit and vigilance was Ding Moan.

Others? Sorry, but who are they? I don't know.

In the last pre-season, Artest was the backdrop for the best goal in the top 1 of the preseason of the day, along with the African mountain Mutombo. Mutombo is a kind uncle and doesn't pay much attention. But Artest is different, although Ding Mo'an is very famous, in terms of NBA qualifications, he is a rookie.

The rookie actually played his own one-on-one defense expert in the league, who had defended the league from being disgraced by a number of superstars, like a monkey and became a background board, Artest would not swallow this breath. The purpose of his coming up this time, although there is the arrangement of head coach Adelman, hoping that he can restrain or limit Ding Moan's firepower, but Artest also wants to come back to the field.

However, Artest did not let go of his contempt and raised his vigilance. In any case, whether it was Ding Mo'an's breakthrough and speed in the preseason or on the court before, relying on shooting to score six points, Artest sounded the alarm. After all, he came to find the field this time, but he didn't come to become Ding Mo'an's background again.

However, in the first attack of the game, the Grizzlies' attacker was not always the arrow Ding Moan, and became Kyle. Lowry. Of course, at first Kyle. Lowry wanted to give the ball to Ding Mo'an, who was also like Mike. Conley was there, going around in circles, to get rid of Artest.

It's just that Artest's physical strength and his various small actions make the blocking and dismantling tactics designed by the Grizzlies for Ding Mo'an completely useless. And Kyle. Lowry isn't Mike either. Conley type, a traditional defender who puts the ball first, is also very aggressive.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Kyle. Lori simply came on her own. When he wanted to come by himself, Ding Mo'an on the court didn't feel wrong, indeed, he only needed a few more seconds to get rid of Artest, but he couldn't force others to wait for him to get rid of Artest and give the ball to himself, right?

If you really do this, the name of "lone wolf" will definitely be crowned on Ding Mo'an's head. After all, basketball is not played alone, always give the ball to yourself, so why do you want your teammates to do it. The Grizzlies only assigned Ding Mo'an a dozen point guards, completed the task of dribbling the ball through the half court, and then watched Ding Mo'an play five from the outside.

However, Mike, who was replaced. Conley is extremely distressed, judging from his pass-first tendency, it only takes a while for Ding Moan to get rid of Artest, Kyle. Lori came by himself at this time, wouldn't the previous running position be in vain! This is the reason for the different angles of view caused by the style of play, compared to Mike. Conley, Kyle. Lowry believes that when Ding Mo'an's arrow is temporarily entangled, it is the time for him to make a move.

So Kyle. Lowry dribbled forward and slowly approached a step before firing directly from the outside. is very confident in shooting, after all, he is a small man, and it is impossible to enter the NBA without a little confidence. So, Kyle. Lowry suddenly released a cold arrow to the defender of him, Raff. Alstom was taken aback.

hurriedly made up for it, and wanted to give the little opponent in front of him a big hat. It's just Kyle. Lowry also has the survival formula that a small player must have. Being short and facing players who are generally ten to twenty or even taller than him makes Kyle . Lowry shoots with a high arc and is very fast when shooting.

Swish!

Three-point hit!

Kyle. Lowry's shot from beyond the three-point line put the Grizzlies just one goal away from the equalizer. This ball also made the fans of the TV set know this small point guard with a very conspicuous logo on this ball. And Kyle. Lowry's goal made the Rockets, who originally wanted to quickly widen the difference, anxious.
