Chapter 169: Cracking the Bag
Dingmoan's play scared Adelman, and if the Grizzlies maintain their momentum, the consequences will be unimaginable. The only solution Adelman could think of was to make Ding Mo'an suffer, hoping that Artest's ferocious foul would make Ding Mo'an stop his aggressive attack.
And Yao Ming, who was sitting next to Adelman and listening to the tactics, couldn't help frowning. Although his relationship with Ding Mo'an is just a nodding acquaintance, but as compatriots in the motherland, Yao Ming certainly doesn't want to see his talented and hopeful junior who is very likely to become the hope of the next generation of Chinese basketball, and was injured by his teammates with fierce fouls.
So before going on the court, Yao Ming grabbed Artest and said under Artest's puzzled expression: "Ron, you have to foul Ding later, and don't go beyond the scope of sports competition." ”
"Yao, don't worry, I'm measured, I'm just teaching him a lesson." The meaning of Yao Ming's words was quickly understood by Artest, so he patted his chest and reassured.
The current NBA is not the era of the 80s when the black hand was wasted, and the black hand would never be allowed to stand on the court. That's not the case today. Because you ruined someone else's career like this today, maybe someone else will also abolish you another day.
Athletes are competing on the field, not murdering on the field, and abolishing people's careers is also equivalent to cutting off people's money, which will cause public outrage, although Artest is a villain in the league, but he usually only uses small actions to maliciously abolish people, and he doesn't dare to do it.
In addition, Yao Ming is the cornerstone of the Rockets' clearly announced team, which even Maddie later cannot change. As the big brother of the rocket, Yao Ming, has spoken, and Artest really doesn't even have a trace of ideas. However, give Ding Mo'an a vicious foul, that's for sure. Yao Ming didn't stop Artest from fouling, after all, it is on the field, and players also have to talk about their own work ethic.
But when Ding Mo'an came on the field, he still felt the same as Sean in front of him. Battier defended his Artest together, with a malicious glint in his eyes. Yes, although he didn't plan to play a black hand, Artest has repeatedly become Ding Mo'an's background board in the preseason and tonight's game, and he is holding his breath.
Getting the head coach's instructions at this time is like getting the sword of Shang Fang, if Ding Mo'an is not allowed to suffer a little, Artest himself will not be comfortable. So when the Rockets handed the ball to Yao Ming again, they tried to make Yao Ming bully the Grizzly Bear's immature interior again.
However, despite the current immature interior line of the Grizzlies, in front of Yao Ming, an experienced league super center, it seems to have various shortcomings. However, Hollins' substitution adjustments and Ding Moan's defensive arrangement against Milicic on the court gave the Grizzlies three more standard interior lines out of thin air.
Therefore, even Yao Ming, in the face of interference one after another, as well as Milicic who keeps an eye on him at any time, if he does not block the passing route and shows his intention to help defend, this attack is once again stopped by the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies' lineup, which looks extremely weird, actually worked, and it really shattered many people's glasses. But it's not just defense to win the game, offense is the best defense for the Grizzlies, who are more than a dozen points behind.
So wait for Kevin, who is red-eyed when he sees the rebound. Lefou, roaring rebounding again is my slogan, and the Grizzlies' offensive has set off again. Kyle. Lowry steadily dribbled forward and defended his Raf. Alstom, in tonnage, was directly crushed over the half.
At the same time, Ding Mo'an also ran quickly in his direction. Now the Grizzlies have all the heavy responsibilities on the offensive end handed over to Ding Mo'an, and the rest of his teammates are more of a cover, and ready to shoot at any time.
This is also the embarrassment of the Grizzlies' current situation, and they can only rely on Ding Mo'an's scoring point and fight hard with the Rockets. After all, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the Grizzlies to want to use their current lineup to scuttle through the Rockets' defense. Now that the whole game is over 4/3, Yao Ming and Luis on the inside of the Rockets. Scola has already blocked the Grizzlies' interior scoring points.
And inside attacker Kevin. Lefou, despite his chubby figure, can beat Louis on his back. Scola didn't dare to hit the basket either. Because of this game he was with Mark. Gasol gave Yao Ming four caps.
So when Mark. Gasol against Yao Ming was blown up, Kevin. Love can only repeat his own single defender style of play. However, this trick may have worked in the NCAA, but in the higher NBA, after a while, he was replaced by Louis Brown. Scola targets the Earth's incompleteness.
As for the Grizzly Bear's outside line, except for Ding Mo'an's ability to enter no man's land and penetrate the Rockets' defense line, who else has it? Do you expect a Kyle who is only 1.8 meters tall? Lowry is going to carry the explosives bag and have a man's duel with the Rockets inside?
This is clearly not realistic. Similarly, the Grizzlies' weakness lies in their poor outside shooting. Therefore, Hollins is also the best Kyle in the team for three-point ability. Lowry was put on the pitch in hopes of increasing the team's offensive tools.
However, this attack was not as easy as before. Although he once again relied on his own speed to throw Artest off, leaving only Sean. Battier this gum sticks to herself, but in the relationship with Sean. In Battier's entanglement, Ding Mo'an also sensed the Rocket's determination to block him.
Because it's not just Sean. Battier is stubbornly pestering himself, even against Kyle. Lowry's Raff. Alston also pounced with Kyle at this time. Lowry does the entanglement, interfering with Kyle. Lowry, the ball handler, is matched with Ding Moan's passing at any time.
The game situation suddenly fell into anxiety. At this time, Ding Mo'an saw that the attack time was quietly more than halfway, and he also made a bold move. Dragging Sean, who is almost clinging to himself. Battier, forced a break through the defense from Kyle. Lowry catches the ball in his hand.
But when Ding Mo'an held the ball and wanted to make a move, Artest, who came out of nowhere, stretched out his hand from the side and pushed Ding Mo'an hard. This accident made Ding Mo'an stunned, and then the power brought by Artest's pushing action immediately caused Ding Mo'an to lose his balance, suddenly fall to the floor, and fall to the ground.
At the same time, at the moment when Ding Mo An fell to the ground, Kyle who witnessed Artest rushing out and pushing Ding Mo An to the ground. Lowry couldn't sit still and immediately rushed to the scene of the incident, as well as the Grizzlies players on the court. Suddenly, Ding Mo'an was surrounded by teammates who were asking for explanations for him, as well as Artest and Rockets players who pretended to be innocent and said that they didn't mean it.
The referee and the two assistant referees, who saw that something was wrong, immediately blocked between the two teams after the whistle sounded to separate people from escalating the situation. At this time, Ding Mo'an was also taken by Mark. Gasol & Kevin. Lefous pulled up from the ground.
In fact, Artest's action of pushing people just now was mainly to warn Ding Mo'an, and it did not cause Ding Mo'an to suffer physical damage, but just fell to the ground. However, this action is more provocative. In the face of Artest's provocation, Ding Mo'an silently pulled away his teammates who were begging for an explanation.
At this time, arguing is powerless, and in the face of provocation, others may choose to talk to Artest across the wall, but Ding Mo'an never does this. Humiliating the opponent on the field is Ding Mo'an's way of revenge.
also took the initiative to resolve the useless quarrel, and the referee also made a penalty. However, this penalty almost made head coach Hollins and the Memphis fans in front of the TV go berserk.
Common fouls!
"Sir, this is at least a technical foul!" Hollins broke free from the assistant coach's move to pull him back to the bench and questioned the referee who made the decision.
In the face of Hollins's questioning, the referee was unmoved, and said expressionlessly: "I think what you should do is to direct the team, instead of arguing with me about how to blow the game, I think in this matter, I know how to do it better than you." ”
"Good! All right! Hollins wanted to say something, but was immediately pulled back by the assistant coach. Hollins didn't break free, and now the Grizzlies' chances of winning are already slim, and if his head coach eats a T at this time, or even gets expelled, it will be tantamount to adding insult to injury.
On the field, Artest was smiling, he had a very B number in his heart, and it was not too much to eat a T in his actions just now. But the referee only gave a common foul, which also shows that the referee is biased in favor of the home team tonight, and this is also the unwritten practice of the NBA, the home whistle.
Artest, who had the home whistle to avoid eating T, proudly raised his eyebrows at Ding Mo'an, wanting to stimulate Ding Mo'an. However, Ding Mo'an's expressionless face made him bored.
Then, because of the foul, the timer returned to twelve seconds, and the Grizzlies went on offense. Mark. Gasol took the ball and stood on the tee, Kyle. Lowry stood by to answer.
Ding Moan, on the other hand, stood outside the three-point line, staring at Kyle. The situation on Lowry's side. However, Ding Mo'an didn't lean over, after all, he had Sean by his side. Battier and Artest are eyeing each other. However, when the referee blew the whistle and counted the time on the sidelines, Kyle. Lowry & Raff. Alstom immediately became entangled.
But Mark. In front of Gasol stood Yao Ming, who was taller than him, and his vision was disturbed, and at this time, there was no way to accurately pass the ball to Kyle. In Lowry's hands. And Kyle. It was impossible for Lowry to rush to Yao Ming's side to ask for the ball.
Because even if you get it, Kyle. Lowry will immediately get into even more trouble, and he will be sure to be killed by Yao Ming and Raff. Alstom bag clip. Seeing that his teammates were in trouble, Ding Mo'an quickly rushed out without hesitation, bursting out with extreme speed.
Despite Sean. Battier and Artest expected Ding Mo'an to rush up, but at Ding Mo'an's absolute speed, any defense is a decoration, no matter who it is. And Mark. Gasol also passed the ball to Ding Mo'an at the moment when Xun Ding Mo An quickly got rid of the defense.
However, the moment Ding Mo'an caught the ball, the right hand holding the ball waved suddenly, and the basketball flew out of his hand in an instant. The sudden passing of the ball made everyone wonder who the ball would be passed to. Mark. Gasol served and just ran into the court, Kyle. Lowry was still in the half, and Kevin was still in the half. Love and Hayes at the free-throw line......
Wrong! And Milicic!
The "parallel trade list" was forgotten by everyone, and he was just preparing to fight with Sean. Battier went up together to wrap Artest, and soon thought of this opponent who had been emptied by himself, and hurried towards Milicic. It's just that it was too late, and Milicic looked extremely excited after getting the ball, allowing Artest to let go unscrupulously, and Milicic was holding his breath.
He's going to tell everyone with his goals the cost of forgetting himself!
Milicic, who was soon forgotten by everyone, was known as the "parallel trade eye", rushed into the empty half, vented his dissatisfaction with a strong dunk, and stabbed Artest. After the dunk was successful, Milicic roared and proved his presence!
And after Milicic scored the goal, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. But what can't be changed is that Milicic scored a goal, and Ding Moan also received an assist! However, after the Rockets inexplicably conceded the ball on the little man Milicic, which made Adelman on the sidelines thunderous, the bad premonition in his heart became bigger and bigger.
Because after Milicic scored to show his threat, it is likely that Sean, who was close to three quarters long, was executed. Battier and Artest's bag clip combination is facing being cracked!
"Ding, thank you for the pass!" After the goal, even a taciturn teenager like Milicic expressed his gratitude.
Ding Mo'an shook his head, pointed to the position where Milicic was standing just now, and said with a smile: "The rocket will pay the price for ignoring you." But after you score, Artest will definitely come and defend you and I want you to do your best to drag him to your side. Give me a chance. ”
In fact, back in Artest and Sean. When Battier teamed up to defend himself, Ding Moan saw the problem. is two defenses and one, and one person is bound to be vacated. If there is a person with good scoring ability at the small forward position, Artest will not be so unscrupulous, almost all over the court to guard himself.
But before Milicic, it was Batum who was in this position. However, Batum mentioned that his performance after starting was really unsatisfactory. Even completely invisible on the field.
The offense was unstable and the defense was too thin to allow Ding Mo'an to relieve the slightest pressure. This is also the reason why Ding Mo'an played so hard in the first few quarters. And now, Milicic, who is 2.18 meters tall, has given Ding Moan a chance to get rid of the whole siege and interception.
"No problem!" Milicic doesn't talk much, but he is reticent, even after playing in the team for a season, he has few friends, and he values commitment very much.
And the Grizzlies relied on the Rockets' defensive holes to reap the rewards on the offensive end. The attack of the rockets, who had been attacking ferociously, came to an abrupt end. Especially when Yao Ming attacked the inside line, after three two meters high inside lines suddenly appeared around him to flank the attack, the inside attack of the rocket was extremely uncomfortable.
The interior offensive end could not be opened, and the Rockets' offensive focus could only be shifted to Maddie on the outside. However, Ding Moan's defense and small forward position had an extra 2.18-meter tall man to interfere with the defense, and Maddy only scored two points in a few minutes.
And since Milicic took the initiative to entangle Artest, Ding Mo'an's pressure suddenly decreased. Face Sean. Battier, Ding Moan will not choose to shoot, and now the Rockets' defense is unlikely to give themselves too many opportunities to shoot.
So Ding Mo'an's breakthrough came in handy again, and the successive breakthroughs on the offensive end were also rapidly shortening the point difference. Halfway through, Adelman also called the last two timeouts in an attempt to save the day. It's just that Milicic, who is 2.18 meters tall, has just been on the road with Artest, and Adelman didn't come up with a way to crack it.
Is it possible to let Artest avoid him? While the Rockets were helpless, Ding Mo'an did not forget to give Kyle, who had been waiting on the outside, when the Rockets were on guard against their breakthrough. Lowry splits the ball. When Ding Moan distributed the ball in time, the waiting Kyle. Lowry lived up to those passes.
took the knife that Ding Mo'an had just stabbed, and made up a few more knives to the rocket. And with Kyle. Lowry hit two three-pointers, the previous 14-point difference was gone, and the Grizzlies once again stood on the same running line with the Rockets! At this time, there is only the last minute left, and neither team calls a timeout, this is the final decisive moment!
With the same score, the offense is also very cautious. It was the Rockets who controlled the first attack in the final minute. Because the Grizzlies brutally placed three interior players on the court, although Milicic played a cameo role at the small forward position, in the final analysis, he is still the height of the inside, so the Rockets' final offensive ball is controlled by Maddy.
The tension at the last moment infected everyone, and the Rockets fans in the Toyota Center Arena did not dare to gasp for breath at the moment, for fear of affecting the home team's performance.
