Chapter Ninety-Eight: Riding Hayes, Trapped in Princeton
I don't know if it's because of Scarlett's lust that didn't go away that night, or because of her righteous anger towards Yao Ming, Yuan Shu feels that today's self is unusually strong!
Although when defending, the Rockets used Hayes to defend Yuan Shu, but when attacking, it was Luis Scola who was opposite Yuan Shu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Scola, nicknamed "The Diamond", has a signature move under the basket, spinning in place like a spinning top, and then sending the ball to the basket with his feet barely off the ground!
When Scola began to spin in place, Yuan Shu stood motionless under the basket, and even yawned!
Seeing that the other party didn't take himself seriously at all, Scola immediately threw the ball to the basket with some anger!
Unexpectedly, Scola's ball just flew into the air, and it was suddenly caught in Yuan Shu's arms in the air! It's even more incredible than grabbing a hat in the air!
The Rockets fans at the scene even let out a burst of exclamations at this moment!
No matter how you turn, you have to shoot at the basket, as long as you pay attention to the direction of Scola's last turn, plus increase the speed by 50 points, Yuan Shu's reaction is completely too late to block in time after finding Scola's move!
After the hidden attribute "comprehension" has been improved, using the fusion skill of "cap-grabbing", Yuan Shu has unknowingly mastered the essence of "cap-grabbing", although due to the limitation of attribute value, he can't use a very powerful authentic cap, but today, Yuan Shu, who is full of fighting spirit, still dedicated a wonderful cap, and directly held the ball in his arms!
After handing the ball to Williams, the Cavaliers began to attack, and from the moment Williams just got the ball, Rockets point guard Kyle Lowry immediately clung to it, and began to stick to it from the half, Williams was blocked by Lowry's tangled defense, and he didn't have much control over the pass.
In this case, Williams, who was originally more attacking than passing, immediately chose a personal attack, using speed to force Lowry, but he didn't expect that this opponent who looked a little baby fat was actually very tough, Williams shot with a slight shift in the center of gravity after the physical confrontation, and the ball brushed out of the basket!
Hayes immediately stuck Yuan Shu firmly behind him, and at the same time, Scola also blocked Vallejo behind him, but a scene appeared to the surprise of all Rockets fans!
Yuan Shu, who used the "Thunder Beast Rebound", actually grabbed this frontcourt rebound with his body flying over the 1.98-meter Hayes in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket without waiting for the landing! After scoring the goal, Yuan Shu's legs were directly on Hayes's shoulders!
It's all a dunk that flies up from behind! Hayes was hit by the opponent's momentum and legs after Yuan Shu's goal, and he threw himself directly forward to the floor!
Who's this? This is Hayes with super invincible thick legs!
Although when he came to Houston, Hayes also welcomed him as a member of the line, but I'm sorry, when I get to the court, these off-court relationships have to be put aside!
Hayes, who was ridden, immediately got up from the floor, and when he looked back, the person who rode his own buckle just now was really Yuan Shu, and the anger of being ridden was instantly overwhelmed by the surprise of the bounce and strength of the Chinese players!
Thinking about Yao Ming, who has been with him for 5 seasons, Hayes can't combine the seemingly average physical fitness in front of him with a slam dunk as exciting as Vince Carter!
Hayes is not so easy to be bullied, in the next Rockets offense, although Kevin Martin's shot missed, Hayes squeezed away Vallejo, who was 13cm taller than him, under the basket, and grabbed the rebound in the front court and shot directly to make a basket.
Yuan Shu had been waiting here for a long time, and a big hat slapped the ball shot by Hayes fiercely, because Yuan Shu was facing the basket block, so the block was slapped on the rebound by Yuan Shu, and bounced directly back to the three-point line in the half! Parker got the ball and immediately made a fast-break layup to score two points!
......
In the first quarter of the game, Yuan Shu defended his Hayes 1v1 on the offensive end, and at the same time limited Scola well on the defensive end, but due to the Rockets' restrictions on Williams, the Cavaliers did not have much advantage in the first quarter, only leading the Rockets by 2 points at 29-27 and entering the second quarter.
Yuan Shu got 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first quarter, and it was very rare to score a double in the first quarter. After the offensive end exploded Hayes, Yuan Shu on the defensive end only allowed Scola to get 1 of 4 shots, and only 1 rebound!
But at the same time, Williams, under the special care of Lowry and the Rockets, only scored 1-of-6 shooting in the first quarter, plus 4 points on 2-of-2 free throws, but did not have a single assist. The Rockets, who played Princeton in the first quarter, had 10 assists in a single quarter, while the Cavaliers had only four.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, something bad happened, Williams seemed to be struggling with his own hands, three consecutive offenses were capricious three-point shots on the outside, and the result of the reluctant shot was of course missed, and due to the poor timing of the shot, the rebounds were also obtained by the Rockets players, due to Yuan Shu's excellent play in the first half, the Rockets began to shrink the interior defense, and when grabbing rebounds in the backcourt, they also invested 3 or even 4 players to grab together.
In the middle of the second quarter, the Rockets completed a wave of 8-0 offensive climax, overtaking the score at once, leading the Cavaliers by 6 points at 47-41!
Scott immediately called a timeout and replaced the underperforming Mo Williams with Daniel Gibson. While Ramon Sessions is more of a playmaker, Gibson's three-point shooting is significantly stronger than Sessions, who shoots less than 30 percent, and can pull the Rockets' defensive formation apart.
Gibson, who is on the court, is only a battery, and in terms of organizational ability, he may not be as strong as Williams, but the most urgent thing on the court at the moment is to use outside shots to help relieve the pressure on the inside.
"Hey, damn it, give me the ball!" After the Cavaliers players passed the ball back and forth without purpose on the outside, Yuan Shu hurriedly shouted at Anthony Parker, who was holding the ball directly on the outside.
It is worth mentioning that Princeton pays attention to the operation of the ball on offense, so the players are very active in running on the court, and on defense, Princeton also has its own set, in defense will be based on the transfer of the ball, carry out personnel and cut off the defense of key passing paths, basically block all the passing routes that can be covered by the player's line of sight, and cut off the contact between the player and the outside world.
In this case, either the passer has a strong ability to play alone and can break down the defense on his own, or the other players must be able to play a good role in holding the ball so that the opponent does not dare to easily trap it.
After scoring in the first half, Yuan Shu did not intend to use up all his energy at this time, and the Cavaliers did not have the ability to contain or let the opponent be specially marked, it seems that this tactic of the Rockets has begun to work, and let the home team gradually occupy the advantage on the court!
"Brush" a sound of breaking the air, Yuan Shu's head did not turn after receiving the ball, and he passed the ball directly from his left shoulder to the bottom line behind him without looking at it, Jamison, who had been standing near the bottom corner, was surprised to receive Yuan Shu's pass, adjusted it slightly, and shot three points in the surprised gaze of the rocket players, and hit through the net!
It's time to harness the power of Hawkeye!
