Chapter 180: Rockets Without Da Yao
Sure enough, in the eighth minute, Da Yao was already sweating, and Adelman had to replace Da Yao. After the loss of Da Yao www.biquge.info, the rocket's offensive strength has weakened, Uncle Mu is already old, and Scola is still very young, and they can't please Bynum.
Adelman immediately adjusted the Rockets' tactics and began to focus on outside shooting. Odom and Brooks started to play pick-and-roll, Brooks had the pace, Odom had the shot. The Lakers don't have a very good solution to this tactic, and neither Fisher nor Gasol can prevent the Rockets from playing small or small.
After Da Yao went down, the situation of the rocket turned out to be better. Everyone was surprised, and the Zen master did not expect that the rocket would have such a clever trick. He pondered for a moment, and instead of adjusting immediately, he waited until the end of the first quarter to make adjustments.
In the second quarter, the Zen master now replaced Kobe Bryant off the court, and Wu Di led the team, with Pekovic, Sun Yue, Vujacic and Ariza. Only because of this can the Rocket's block be broken, Wu Di plays the No. 4 position, and Ariza plays the No. 1 position.
After coming on the field, Wu Di began to face Odom. Odom's newlywed Yaner (a year earlier than in reality), can now be said to be proud, although he left the strong team of the Lakers, but he joined the strong team of the Rockets, and he was supposed to be the third or even the fourth leader.
But Maddie is suddenly deposed, and Odom's status immediately rises. Da Yao couldn't exert all his energy alone, and Adelman had to find a substitute when Da Yao wasn't playing, and then Odom was shot. The improvement of the tactical position has also made Odom's score rise and has become the second leader of the Rockets.
In addition, when Odom was in the Lakers, he met Paris Hilton, and through Paris's introduction, Odom met Khloe Kardashian. After dating for a few months, the two got married in a flash, and now is the time for strong affection.
The proud Odom now sees everyone with a smile, and when he was an all-star, he met Wu Di, and they had a good conversation. But now it's on the court, and he doesn't want to renew his friendship with Wu Di, and there are coaches watching off the field!
The Rockets serve, and Brooks once again plays a pick-and-roll with Odom. Ariza was blocked, and Brooks burst inside. Wu Di immediately greeted him, and Brooks tried to fight small and big, but he shook left and right twice, but Wu Di was not shaken away. In desperation, Brooks passed the ball directly to Odom.
Odom catches the ball, and Ariza immediately gets closer, not giving Odom space to shoot. Odom struggled a few times to avoid Ariza, and Sun Yue immediately surrounded him and surrounded Odom.
The Rockets' current No. 3 position is Brent Barry, a relatively well-rounded small forward who has won the dunk king and participated in the three-point contest. He is the fourth person who can jump to the free throw line to dunk, but he is still the first white man to dunk, and he still has the strength.
At his peak, he averaged nearly 15 points per game, but now he can't do it anymore, that's why the Zen master arranged it this way. If it was replaced by Artest, the Zen master really didn't dare to arrange it like this, because Artest's three points were sometimes very fatal.
Odom had no choice, everyone else was guarded tightly, and Odom could only pass the ball to Barry, who received the ball and immediately shot in the open space. With good luck, the ball went in.
The Zen master shook his head when he saw it, there is really no way about this.
However, the Lakers' offense is also going well, because it is Odom who defends Wu Di, and Odom's defensive ability is not as good as Artest. Wu Di hit Odom with his back, Odom was pushed away by Wu Di in a few hits, and then Wu Di dunked under the basket to score.
If you want to defend Wu Di's rockets, you must Hai yes, and only Hayes can have the strength to prevent Wu Di's back hit. But Adelman didn't dare to Haiyes, Hayes is a floor stream, and his height is not as tall as Wu Di, who can easily shoot on Hayes's head. Compared with Wu Di's shooting, Adelman wants Wu Di to play the basket.
The Rockets continued to block and dismantle, Sun Yue once again wrapped up Odom, Odom passed to Barry again, and Barry missed the three-point point this time. The rebound was picked up by Wu Di, and after getting the rebound, Wu Di immediately squeezed Brooks away and rushed to the front court.
Wu Di, who has accelerated up, is a tank, and he is even more shocking than James when he runs.
The Rockets players also wanted to block Wu Di, but Barry was squeezed away as soon as he came up, and Odom also came to block it, but Ariza and Sun Yue had already rushed to the basket and the other to the bottom corner. Wu Di immediately made a long pass and passed the ball to Ariza under the basket. Although Ariza is very iron, there is still no problem with dunking, and he jumps and dunks when he catches the ball.
The fast attack was successful, and the Zen master breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this time the arrangement is not wrong, if the Rockets do not make adjustments, this game will be won.
Adelman was worried this time, he didn't expect Wu Di to become a big problem for the Rockets. He had a little remorse, but it didn't work at all. He could only watch Wu Di wreak havoc on the inside of the Rockets, and look at the bench. No, Wu Di's hand feels very good today, and Hayes will definitely be shot through when he goes up.
After a second look, I can only go to Artest. He beckoned Artest over and blessed him with a few words. Artest went to file and waited for the dead ball opportunity to play.
In another round, Barry's shot was again wide and Pekovic grabbed the rebound. Pekovic immediately passed the ball to Sun Yue, who dribbled well, and he dribbled to the front court, but was stopped by Odom. Wu Di immediately rushed to the basket, Sun Yue passed the ball, Wu Di made a successful layup under Scola's defense, and caused Scola's foul.
Wu Di hit a free throw, and Artest replaced Barry. The Rockets continued to block and dismantle, and after Artest came up, Sun Yue didn't dare to go to the bag and clamp Odom.
Without Sun Yue's bag, Odom fired again, hitting a shot from Ariza's defense.
The rockets' attack power has increased again, but their main force has no chance to rest.
In the seventh minute, the two sides began to make large-scale substitutions, and the Lakers replaced Kobe Bryant and Gasol. And the Rockets also switched to Da Yao, and replaced another speed-based point guard, Kyle Lowry, to continue the first quarter of play.
The Lakers and Rockets continued to have strong offensive firepower, and even the Rockets, who were defensive teams, scored highly.
The halftime score is 68:66, which is still rare in the playoffs, where one side usually scores more or both sides score, but there is never a time when both sides score high.
But the Lakers' audience was very happy that they were able to see an offensive battle in the playoffs, which was definitely worth the ticket money.
