Chapter 314: Fourth Four Doubles
Some things often happen by coincidence, and what happens is a matter of luck. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 So some people say that luck is also part of strength.
Wu Di's luck is very good, otherwise he would not have achieved the statistics that many players cannot achieve in a lifetime.
Today is destined to be a lucky day for Wu Di, the Rockets' players don't feel good on the outside, and they can only add breakthroughs to score. Wu Di is in the penalty area, no matter who dares to impact the inside, he will be rewarded with a slap.
This is not Harden to break through again, and he was covered by Wu Di. However, the basketball was not grabbed by the Lakers, but by Beverley. When Beverley grabbed the ball, it was a throw, and the basketball stumbled and fell into the basket, finally breaking the scoring drought for the Rockets.
Wu Di leaned on Howard and pushed him to the basket. Howard's lower body strength was insufficient, and he couldn't stop Wu Di's advance at all, so he could only watch Wu Di jump up and end the attack with a sky hook.
However, no matter how high Wu Di's Tiangou hit rate, it will not reach 100%, and he will miss the next ball. Howard jumped early and picked up the rebound, he had already seen that he was not Wu Di's opponent at all, and he could only fight with him in the air.
Missing a ball, Wu Di didn't have any expression, turned around and went back to defend.
Jones broke through Jimmy Butler, and Wu Di instantly made up the defense. Jones had no choice but to hand the ball to Howard. Howard still shot instantly, and Wu Di didn't have time to pass. However, this goal was not scored, his shooting rate outside the penalty area was as high as Wu Di's three-point shooting rate, and his hand feeling today was not very good, and the result can be imagined.
The basketball bounced to the other side and was grabbed by Parsons, and Wu Di immediately pounced. Parsons was so frightened that he hurriedly made a shot, and Wu Di immediately changed direction, rushed to the basket, and slapped the ball on the rebound.
In less than five minutes of the opening game, Wu Di got four big hats, which shows how good his luck was today. But one thing that is not so good is that the block goes up, the rebound is gone, and he has only grabbed one rebound so far.
was blocked by Wu Di in a row, and the rocket had to call a timeout. They didn't lag behind much, but their morale was a bit low and they needed to be adjusted. Jones and Beverley were replaced, replaced by Artest in the past, and now Ci Shiping and Brooks.
Ci Shiping's current competitive state has dropped a lot, but in the end, he is a star in the past, he has a lot of game experience, especially his nerve knife characteristics, which is very suitable for bringing substitutes. And Brooks, a rookie in the same year as Wu Di, has gone around the Suns in the past two years, and then turned back, and now he can only play as a substitute.
However, both of them have three-point shots, especially Ci Shiping, and it is the same whether there is anyone to defend him. It can be said that he is willful, or it can be said that he is domineering, but he just doesn't care about defenders, as long as he is not blocked, how to shoot or how to shoot.
And with Ci Shiping, there is also a defensive role. As a master of defense, Ci Shiping's defensive ability is not a joke. Although his fitness has been a little out of step as he has gotten older, he is still a master of defense.
After Wu Di received the ball, Ci Shiping immediately came over to wrap the clip, and the timing of the bag clamp was very good, just in time for the moment when Wu Di slapped the ball on the ground.
After being trapped, Wu Di could no longer dribble the ball and could only hold the ball in his hands. Tzu Shiping tried to steal the ball, and Wu Di took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball from his armpit to Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler hit a mid-range shot to add an assist to Wu Di.
Brooks, who had just come on the court, immediately made contributions, shook off Jeremy Lin, and hit a three-point shot directly. This is also an unreasonable player, when he feels good, he is scary, he can shoot directly from a meter away from the three-point line, plus he is fast, it is difficult to defend.
Brooks' three-pointer was turned on, and the Rockets' offense was immediately activated. Others also tried to shoot three-pointers from the outside, and Harden followed suit. However, when it came to Ci Shiping, it smashed directly on the neck of the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Wu Di.
Wu Di pulled Howard to the outside of the three-point line, and the United Arab Emirates and Jeremy Lin made a pick-and-roll, and Lin broke through Parsons and scored on a layup.
The current Lakers are particularly difficult to defend, and all five players can pull to the restricted area or even outside the three-point line, reducing the difficulty for the Lakers to break through. As long as a player who breaks through a little better, he can find space in the Lakers, you just need to break through a big man.
The two sides went back and forth, and the game quickly reached the second quarter. The Lakers in the second quarter were relatively weaker because they were all benches. Masimmi couldn't get out of the box, and Wu Di could only leave the task of defending Howard to him and deal with Parsons himself.
Fortunately, the outside feel of the rocket once again got out of control and began to strengthen the breakthrough. Marcinmy was quickly fouled three times by Harden and had to go off the court. After the UAE came on the court, Wu Di returned to the box again, and then the Rockets were tragic.
"Smack!" Harden's layup was fanned.
"Smack!" Brooks' layup was caught.
"Smack!" Howard's mid-range shot was slapped on the rebound
……
Before the end of the second quarter, Wu Di had already received ten blocks before he knew it.
If it weren't for Wu Di's three fouls, the Rockets would have basically given up the game. The Lakers led by 20 points at 76:56 heading into the second half.
In the second half, the Lakers' outside touch also became cold, as if they were infected by the Rockets.
The clatter of iron has turned the stadium into a blacksmith shop. But Wu Di was cool. The increase in rebounding allowed him to quickly put together ten rebounds. He grabbed rebounds with Howard today to take a slight advantage, and Howard only grabbed seven rebounds, three fewer than him.
The Lakers turned into a blacksmith shop, and the Rockets immediately caught up, quickly narrowing the gap to within 10 points.
D'Antoni immediately switched tactics and added the tactics of cutting to the basket. Because the Rockets retreated quickly, the Lakers had no chance to play a fast break, and could only finish the game by running.
D'Antoni would love to play the bull game because the Lakers have Nash and two interior players who are good at shooting. But Wu Di's existence made this tactic stillborn, he could give the ball to Wu Di, and then let Wu Di watch it himself.
Having a capable superstar in your hand can save you a lot of trouble. In the first two years, the Zen master easily completed three consecutive championships with little tactical adjustment, which is a good proof of this.
D'Antoni was also happy to take it easy, handing the ball to Wu Di, and the others immediately ran to cover each other, and Wu Di was able to send the ball over as long as there was a vacancy. Round passing ability, Nash is very good.
In the end, the Lakers won the game 121-105, and Wu Di also got his fourth quadruple-double, with 26 points, 15 rebounds, 13 assists and 11 blocks.
