Chapter 42: Against the Rockets (2)
The Rockets are a fast-paced team, and the outcome of the game is actually obvious, one is to see if the Rockets can limit Nowitzki of the Mavericks, and the other is actually a competition of bench players between the two teams. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Rockets' second team has always been praised by the outside world, with backup point guard Kyle Lowry, shooting guard Contenny Lee, small forward Chase Badinger, power forward Chuck Hayes, and the Rockets' second echelon composed of 34-year-old veteran Brad Miller.
With Yao Ming back, Hayes has returned to his familiar No. 4 position, and Scola has not yet fully recovered from the World Championships in Turkey, so if Hayes can take the opportunity to show more improvement on the offensive end, and do a good job of rebounding and defending, then there is no doubt that he will get more playing time in preseason.
The remaining 3 positions do not need to be repeated, substitute small forward Chase Badinger has a hot hand, which is the most stable substitute firepower point for the Rockets, and the second lineup of Rockets coach Adelman still needs to be run-in, and Badinger will be the most reliable card in Adelman's hands; Although Contney Lee still needs time to settle in with the team, he has shown great offensive potential and has performed remarkably on the defensive end, and as part of the team's long-term plan, there is no reason why the Rockets should not give him more opportunities to work; As for backup point guard Kyle Lowry, his passing vision is even better than that of the main point guard Brooks, and if it weren't for the poor three-point shooting, he could even start in place of Brooks.
The first quarter of the game was coming to an end, Yao Ming was replaced by substitute center Brad Miller in the middle of the first quarter, and scored 4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block on 2-of-4 shooting. In the first half of the Rockets, because Yao Ming was on the field, he had to move his offensive focus to the outside in the second half of the second quarter after Yao Ming went off the court, and tried more three-point shots, after all, substitute center Brad Miller is not only a cut behind Yao Ming in height, but also has a huge difference in scoring ability and response ability compared with Yao Ming.
After Yao Ming went off the court, Nowitzki performed well, hitting all four individual singles Scola shots, including two difficult goals, a trick golden rooster ate all over the world, even if Scola did not lose his position in defense, two defenses even covered Nowitzki's face, completely blocking the line of sight between him and the basket, Nowitzki still relied on his instincts and feel to hit the ball steadily.
Despite this, the calf also had a feeling of hitting the power on the cotton, and wanted to take advantage of Yao Ming's departure to take the opportunity to open the score, but he didn't.
Rockets shooting guard Kevin Martin seemed to suddenly open his own strange vein after his first three-point miss, and the next three three-pointers all hit, which made the Mavericks not only not take the opportunity to open the score, but also trailed the Rockets by one point at the end of the first quarter.
Lin Hao glanced up at the scoreboard, a little crying and laughing, after all, looking at the situation, the Mavericks had the upper hand, but the result was the opposite, but they fell behind by one point 29-30.
Within two minutes of the start of the second quarter, Rockets coach Adelman replaced the rest of the bench except for Kevin Martin, who was hot in the first quarter, so that the Rockets' on-court lineup became PG Kyle Lowry, SG Kevin Martin, SF Chase Badinger, PF Chuck Hayes and white center Brad Miller.
Maverick Carlisle head coach Rick Carlisle observed the situation on the court, first replaced Jason Terry, Steve Novak, Sean Marion and Tyson Chandler all on the court, and finally summoned Lin Hao over, and ordered, "Lin Hao, I will give you a task in this game, you can help me defend Kevin Martin on the opposite side, and you can give it to Terry in terms of scoring." β
Since this game is broadcast live in the United States, it seems that head coach Rick Carlisle also wants to win this game, not only Lin Hao's friend Dominic Jones was pressed on the bench, Nowitzki's first substitute was originally 34-year-old white power forward Brian Cardinal, but Coach Rick Carlisle This is the second time that Coach Rick Carlisle has replaced Sean Marion, who plays the small forward position, to play the big forward position, whether it is Rick Carlisle Coach in order to experiment with the diversification or diversity of the bench lineup, Brian Cardinal is in an awkward position in the team right now.
Lin Hao's game was originally with a breath of anger, and Lin Hao did not deny that he did not play well in the first preseason, in order to complete the random tasks released by the system, Lin Hao racked his brains, after all, with his current physical fitness, it is indeed a little difficult for him to complete the tasks that the center forwards should complete.
You can criticize me, but the news also involves Donnie Nelson, president of Maverick operations who discovered himself and gave himself the opportunity to enter the NBA, Lin Hao felt very unhappy, originally Lin Hao held his breath and planned to perform well in this game, so as to slap the face of those news media that smeared him.
As a result, head coach Rick Carlisle said, you just need to defend well, and the offense doesn't need you.
Although Lin Hao nodded again and again, he was still a little disappreciative in his heart, young man, who doesn't want to kill in all directions and ride the savior alone.
Personal heroism is not only loved by the audience in TV and movies, but also in real life.
Lin Hao thought to himself, let me defend Martin, that's no problem, but let me be purely organizedγγγγγγ
-------
Mavericks possessed the ball, Lin Hao took the ball to face Kyle Lowry, who was defending himself, and Lowry, who was 1.83 meters tall, was not tall and physically strong. In terms of height, Lin Hao has an advantage, as for physical fitness, Lin Hao and Luo Rui at this time are half a catty, and the thin Luo Rui may be slightly better than Lin Hao, but that is only fifty steps and a hundred steps.
After a few tentative steps, Lin Hao spotted a flaw in Lowry's defense, and before he could react, he was facing a three-point shot, Lowry shook his head slightly, and grinned, "You can't get in." β
It seems that the news heat in the past few days has made many people realize Lin Hao, a Chinese player, and everyone seems to know that the two backcourt players just signed by the Mavericks are not good at three-point shooting.
Okay, despite this, I can be regarded as famous, although it is all negative news, Lin Hao pouted.
Wow, the sound of the net bag floating, and Lowry's smiling expression froze on his face, but soon he muttered, "Fucking shit luck... β
This kid is really underwhelmed, Lin Hao wants to retreat at the same time, but it seems that today's hand feels good, and it may be that the 100 points obtained in the two missions are all added to the long-range throw, and finally have a little effect it deserves.
