Chapter 617: Physical fitness is a big problem

The audience cheered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Noll is not Bynum, his speed and reaction are much faster than the current Bynum, Harden has some habitual thinking after eating the sweetness of Bynum twice, but the result is beyond his expectations.

Noll punched hard after the block, and it could be seen that he, like everyone else, was quite unhappy when Harden kept making fouls.

"The Lakers defended their home court, at least from the first quarter, and they played very aggressively." Chris Webb, the commentator in the commentary seat, spoke.

The game on the court continued, and in the positional battles of the low offensive round, the Rockets' offense could not be played, and the defensive breakdown was their disadvantage.

After the Lakers turned on, they began to firmly occupy the initiative on the court.

The cheers of the audience were wave after wave, in fact, not only D'Antoni, but also the fans themselves, who also felt that the Lakers team with 9 players had no chance of winning, but now the team is playing with a clear eye, and the contrasting performance makes them feel excited from the bottom of their hearts.

25-15, after the two sides entered the rotation one after another, the Lakers came back and stretched the score to double digits.

Tang Shuai's performance in the first quarter was decent, scoring 8 points and 3 assists on 3-of-4 shooting.

Thanks to the team's excellent performance, Tang Shuai and Knoll have been given normal rotation time.

After getting to the bench, he did not sit idle, but quickly set his sights on the field.

At this time, the Lakers came off the bench with Anthony Brown, Stephenson moved to an open position, and even Landry was topped as a small forward.

The Rockets' side is in the normal rotation, with Nene, Motaiyunas, Beasley and other main substitutes all on the field.

Landry still caused some cheers when he came on the court, although it was a home game, but there were also a lot of Rockets fans, and Landry is an old man of the Rockets and has also played a wonderful performance, and his appearance naturally evokes the memories of these fans.

Shaw is also nervous, his lineup is helpless, but he is also quite bold, it depends on whether Landry will be blown up by Beasley.

After coming off the bench, the Rockets attacked first.

Sure enough, after D'Antoni saw the Lakers' lineup, he focused on Beasley's point, and after a few blocks, Beasley got a mid-range shot, and he was faster and threw the ball before Landry's save.

With a "bang", Beasley's shot hit steadily.

Shaw reached out and rubbed his face, Landry did have a lot of difficulty defending Beasley.

In the Lakers' round, Stephenson went to the frontcourt and killed inside by blocking, but under the interference of Motai Yunas, he shot out of the basket, and Nene grabbed the rebound and threw it to Gordon, Gordon quickly advanced to the frontcourt, returned the ball to Beasley, who followed up, and Beasley easily played the ball and scored a layup.

Landry had just crossed the halfway line at this point.

Xiao shook his head helplessly, this lineup is really not suitable.

And although Stephenson has good organizational skills, he is not Tang Shuai after all, and his control of the rhythm is very poor.

"Lance, fight the position!" Tang Shuai got up and walked to the sideline at this time and shouted at Stephenson.

"Lower the tempo!" Xiao heard Tang Shuai's shout, and then added.

With the reminders of Tang Shuai and Xiao, Stephenson pressed the rhythm after arriving in the front court, gave the ball to Zubac on the inside, Zubac hit Nene with his back, and he successfully got the opportunity to shoot, but the ball in his hand was stabbed away when he shot.

Despite his age, Nene is far from being as experienced as the rookie Zubac.

The Lakers sent another sideline shot, and Stephenson's dribbling jumper after receiving the ball went wide of the basket again.

The Rockets launched another fast break, and Gordon made a fast break to the front court this time, and Brown, who directly squeezed through the defense, scored a layup.

In just a few rounds, the Rockets have already played two counterattacks, and the gap has been quickly reduced.

Shaw reached out and called a timeout, and he finally realized that the lineup configuration on the court was not good.

"We need to play with a success rate, try to get the ball close to the basket, and if we miss a shot, we have to retreat at the first time." Shaw said bitterly to the player.

At the end of the timeout, he looked back at Tang Shuai, and finally chose to replace him on the court.

After the timeout, the Lakers' rhythm slowed down significantly under Tang Shuai's control, and Tang Shuai's offensive success rate was very high, effectively reducing the chances of the Rockets to play defensive counterattacks.

At halftime, the Lakers maintained their lead, leading by four points at halftime, 48-44.

Tang Shuai played almost the entire second quarter, and in this quarter he scored 16 points and 2 assists, almost leading the team forward by himself.

The Lakers took the half-time lead, and that was clearly not the same as the media and D'Antoni's predictions.

At half-time, reporters interviewed D'Antoni in the hope of getting some acknowledgment from him that what he said before the game was wrong.

But as it turned out, the journalist was a bit overthinking.

"The Lakers played well, but we had a lot of problems, and we're going to get the advantage back in the second half, it's a long game, and we're going to be the winners."

D'Antoni's words caused some dissatisfaction among the fans, but in fact, what he said did make sense.

Coming back in the second half, the Lakers still pressed the rhythm and played Tang Shuai.

After halftime, Tang Shuai's physical strength recovered a lot, and in the first four minutes, he scored 10 points efficiently on 4 shots, but he soon had physical problems.

Tang Shuai is young and has good physical reserves, but he is not an iron man, and he is also a big bag of play, Iverson's kind of physical fitness is not available in a day.

After being knocked over by Harden on a drop-out, he developed leg cramps and Shaw had to replace him with Brown.

Tang Shuai is off, but Stephenson and Batum still have to stay on the field, although they are not as big as Tang Shuai, but after continuing to play, they have also suffered from physical weakness.

Fortunately, although Bynum committed two fouls early, there were at least 5 people in rotation, and there were a total of 4 people on the outside, Tang Shuai rested, and the others had to stay on the court.

Physical problems have become a big problem for the Lakers.

D'Antoni got up from the dugout and went to the sidelines to constantly emphasize to the players that they should bring the rhythm up.

Without Tang Shuai on the field, coupled with the lack of physical strength, the success rate of the offense naturally declined, and the Rockets took advantage of the situation to continue to counterattack.

"Bang!"

After Harden contributed a powerful dunk on the fast break, the Rockets went 30-16 in a single quarter, not only overtaking the score, but also coming from behind, but stretching the difference to double digits.

Shaw never let Tang Shuai continue to play in the third quarter, it was just a regular season game after all, and he couldn't afford the potential injury risk compared to winning or losing.

However, this forced rest also allowed Tang Shuai to gain plenty of physical energy, and after confirming that the leg cramp problem was resolved, he put on the game at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Seeing Tang Shuai reappearing, the fans at the scene suddenly let out a burst of excited cheers.

At this time, the Rockets were still on the bench, and the double-digit lead allowed D'Antoni to Erlang's legs very leisurely and talk and laugh with the assistant coach next to him.

Because Bynum opened the game with a jump shot, it was the Lakers who took the lead in the final quarter.

Tang Shuai was still pressing the rhythm, and after beckoning Noll to block and dismantle, he pulled out his hand with a quick stop and steadily sent the ball into the basket.

The Rockets' offense, Beasley broke through the almost exhausted Batum and scored a layup, and the margin was still in double digits.

Xiao had no choice but to replace Batum with Brown to rest for a while.

Tang Shuai still pressed the rhythm, and after giving the ball to Stephenson, he pressed to the low post and held the ball back to play Reeves Jr.

Little Reeves has made significant progress after leaving Reeves, but it is still difficult to defend Tang Shuai, McDaniels came over to help defend, and Tang Shuai turned back and rushed to shoot.

The basketball took a bit of luck and grazed the edge into the basket.

On the Rockets' offense, Beasley broke through to the basket with Harrell's block, but when he started, Tang Shuai stood straight in front of him.

"Bang!"

It was like hitting a wall, Beasley's dribble went straight out of his hands and was grabbed by Brown.

Reeves Jr. quickly beckoned his teammates to step back.

But after Brown got the ball, he immediately looked for Tang Shuai, who still didn't play fast attack, and still went to the front court unhurriedly with the ball.

After pressing into position, he gave the ball to Landry's back.

Landry turned to the basket and moved beautifully, but his pace was a little slower, and the shot bounced out of the frame, but Knoll grabbed the offensive rebound directly from behind, and then threw it to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai pressed the time again.

The Rockets players are very impatient, they are a team that is good at playing offense, and if you press the tempo over and over again, it feels like a person with ADHD, and you have to force him to sit there and not move, so don't be too uncomfortable.

And it was this feeling that made Tang Shuai find a glimmer of opportunity, he didn't break through or shout tactics, he directly shook his hands and touched the earth, and the basketball passed through the defense of the three Rocket team players, and came directly to Landry, who moved to the basket.

Landry was unguarded after receiving the ball, and this time he seized the opportunity and successfully sent the ball to the basket.

After the score, Landry roared excitedly, and the "Divine Bird" evoked the memories of many fans.

The Rockets wanted to play fast, and Harrell made a quick launch to Beasley.

But the ball was sent too fast and too quickly, Beasley turned around and didn't react, it turned into a mistake, and the basketball went to Brown impartially.

Brown unexpectedly "picked up" an assist, and he immediately gave Tang Shuai.

At this time, most of the players had already retreated, and after Tang Shuai took the ball, he rushed directly to the basket, facing Harrell who rushed out of the bottom line, and flew up directly.

Under the flashing spotlight, he held back his strength for the ball.

Harrell reached out to cover it, but his body collided with Tang Shuai's flying body first.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Tang Shuai relied on the forward momentum and directly pushed him back.

And at this moment, Tang Shuai's right hand with the ball smashed directly into the basket. (To be continued.) )
