Chapter 122: Center Battle

The battle between the two teams in the first quarter was a little anxious, after Artay's 2+1, the Rockets' mental outlook changed in an instant, whether it was interspersed with running positions in offense, or assisting each other in defense, they were more active than people expected.

Battier hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the Rockets were able to tie the score, and Boo made a great contribution to this offense, even if he was in a heavy circle, he still did not shoot recklessly, but passed the ball to the Batman who shuttled through the baseline with a little difficulty, and Battier's play was always so stable compared to others.

The old monk saw that the situation was not good, and quickly called a timeout.

"The group of guys on the other side are very active today!" Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief, the direct consequence of the rocket players running regardless of physical strength was that he, the defender, had to follow behind with a dead face, and Atai was in a very good state today, so that Li Chen did not dare to relax a little.

"Gentlemen, our offensive momentum seems to have been suppressed by the Rockets during this time, and as the number one in the West, I feel the need for us to fight back!" The old monk calmly introduced the situation on the scene, he knew that such a guy hadn't tried his best yet, and if they didn't realize the problem, God knows when the Lakers tiger would wake up!

Kobe Bryant carried forward the true character of the boss, he clapped his hands and signaled, "Guys, cheer up, the opposite side is a rocket that even the Jazz can't beat, as Cruze said before the game, we are determined to sweep each other!" ”

"What are we supposed to do?" Although the boss mentioned his oath and made Li Chen feel honored, this does not mean that he can succeed with just a lot of blood, the NBA game is not a play, and tactics are also a very important part.

"Strong play inside, there is only one Yao Ming on the inside line of the rocket, his important surname for the rocket is self-evident, as long as the little giant falls, the rocket is just a lamb to be slaughtered, and it is difficult to succeed with a group of outside players alone!"

The old monk analyzed the current situation, "Derek and Cruze pay attention to running, especially Cruze, always ready to cut in the air, Kobe Bryant still plays more inside, the opportunity is not good and directly handed over to Gasol, directly force or pass back Cruze to the second organization, Andrew should be active in fighting for rebounds, at least Yao Ming can't get the rebounds easily!" ”

"Understood, coach, I'll let Yao Ming taste my big ass!" Bynum wanted to say that he would get stuck, but the way he expressed it made people feel wrong.

"Hey, Andrew, you're sure you're going to do it, and you want to, but I never knew little giants had this kind of fun." Odom asked, strangely, "How disgusting I am when I think of you two behemoths, God!" ”

"Bastard!" Being ridiculed like this, Bynum was very angry, "I didn't mean that, I mean ......"

"Don't say it, do as I say, do you understand?" The old monk didn't give An Zhu a chance to defend himself, and there wasn't much time to pause, so he didn't want to waste it on such a meaningless ruffle.

"But, Coach!" Bynum wanted to go on.

This time it was Kobe Bryant who stood up, ignoring An Zhu's suffocated and stuffy expression, and the boss said with confidence, "No problem, coach, I'll get it done!" ”

The referee began to urge the players to play, and the timeout had come, and the players dispersed and moved a little to get ready to enter the field.

An Zhu tried to make a final effort, he grabbed Li Chen, who walked past him, the character of the big apple has always been good, Bynum believes that the other party will listen to his explanation. "Eh, actually, ......"

"Say no more!" Li Chen smiled, "Andrew, I understand what you mean, you mean the opposite just now, do you want to taste Yao Ming's big ass?" It's okay, it's not a big deal, young man, I can understand that I like to try something different! ”

After saying that, Big Apple completely ignored the stunned eyes of his teammates and walked to his place on his own.

"Eh, isn't it a bit too much for you to do this, Andrew has good intentions, I'm afraid that you will hit his positive surname like this!" Gasol was a little worried, Bynum had shared a lot of tasks for him on the inside, and if he didn't have the help of the other party, then he would be under a lot of pressure.

Li Chen waved his hand indifferently, "Paul, you underestimate him too much, Andrew is a professional player, if he languishes because of this joke, then I need to doubt whether he can adapt to the more tense situation in the playoffs!" ”

After speaking, he changed his words, "What's more, with my understanding of him, this guy will definitely not languish, maybe he will turn into a little shark tonight, although this trick is not effective, but he always has this talent, even if it only breaks out, it must be excellent!" ”

"Really?" Gasol didn't believe Li Chen's words very much, but the game could not allow him to hesitate, and Bynum was already serving from the baseline.

Kobe Bryant strictly implemented the tactics of the old monk to impact the inside line, using the rhythm to suddenly change and insert the inside line, if you change it in normal times, you can shoot, but because today is Artest, who is in good shape, the former best defender makes Kobe Bryant have to deal with it carefully, the opportunity is really not good, the boss decided to hand over the ball to his good friend Gasol.

Bang! The beast was powerful, seizing the opportunity of Kobe's hesitation, he made a decisive move and slapped the basketball in Kobe's hand from the bottom up, not expecting that the boss of this move accidentally overturned the boat in the gutter and made a mistake.

"Mine!" When Atai was about to reach out to grab the ball, An Zhu came over out of nowhere, although Atai was strong, but compared to Bynum, he was still slightly deficient, and he was inevitably squeezed out of the opponent's way.

"Cruze, take it!" Bynum, who showed his good physique through a prelude, was not impulsive, and he handed the ball to Li Chen, who cut in from the side.

With Bynum's cover, Li Chen made a quick layup successfully, Yao Ming was stuck on the other side by Bynum at this time, and Li Chen's offense made him out of reach.

"Great, Andrew, I knew you hadn't used your full power yet!" Kobe first praised the performance of the younger brother, if it weren't for Bynum's efforts to turn the tide, then the boss's mistake would be big, although it is also a mistake now, but at least the Lakers are the scorers, and people don't care about Kobe's mistakes.

"yes, play hard, I remember what you just said! What do you think you're going to do? Li Chen continued to tease his teammates, he felt that if this continued, Bynum's state might be high tonight, which was obviously the best thing for the Lakers, and it would be important for the Rockets to crush them on the interior strength that the Rockets are proud of.

Bynum was very unhappy, Li Chen's performance was a little ungrateful in his opinion, "You can't do this, I just assisted you!" Although he said this, it seemed that his teammates had not improved much, and the angry An Zhu suddenly decided to show his internal strength.

After switching offense and defense, the Rockets put the ball in the hands of Yao Ming, who was the most stable offense, and based on past experience, the little giant did not suffer when facing Bynum, on the contrary, his height and technical advantages often made An Zhu's defense helpless.

A veritable small sky hook, Yao Ming hit a hook on the left side of the three-second zone, the first hook in the NBA, this kind of difficult offense makes Bynum who is trying to show a bit weak, if he is stuck in a good position before, then Yao Ming must not shoot so easily, but the problem is that no one is perfect, and Bynum cannot do everything.

Unlike the stiff muscles of ordinary big men, Yao Ming's hand is extremely soft, and the special surname of the yellow race allows him to do delicate offensive moves with ease, and since the hook hand is one of the necessary killers of the traditional center, there is no reason why the little giant will not study it.

If you break down the hook, there should be two different forms, and both of them have their own spokespeople. One of them is Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook, which is generally a little far away from the basket, using his body to separate defenders, using his upper arm strength, and using his height and arm length to occupy the commanding heights for precise strikes. The other is Johnson's small hook developed by learning from Abdul-Jabbar's experience, which is generally used to use wrist skills to make the layup after breaking through the basket, making the defender indistinguishable, inexplicable, and unguardable.

Abdul-Jabbar once regarded Yao Ming as the best successor to hook shots, but Yao Ming adapts measures to people's conditions, learns from each other's strengths, repairs both inside and outside, and uses both strengths and weaknesses.

The opponent's unsolvable offense made An Zhu a little depressed, empty of enthusiasm but helpless, this is the saddest thing, fortunately, there is still a chance, basketball is an offensive and defensive game, although the opponent was eaten once on the defensive end, but Bynum can still prove his existence on the offensive end.

Li Chen, who is in charge of controlling the field, is always paying attention to the performance of his teammates on the field, and the performance on An Zhu's face is fully visible to him, considering that the opponent has just given him an assist, Li Chen decided to complete Bynum once.

"Next!" Seeing his teammates desperately using his big ass to block Yao Ming behind him, Li Chen felt that it was too uninteresting for him not to pass it over, and in the hope of relying on the opponent to protect the rebound, the basketball passed through the Rockets' defense line and came to Bynum's hands.

It's going to be in position, but how are you going to play? Li Chen asked secretly in his heart, Bynum's weak offensive means made him not optimistic about the effect of this offense, you must know that he is not Gasol's kind of technical inside, and the shooting is not easy in the eyes of others is not simple for An Zhu, who has a free throw shooting rate of less than 70, and the whole NBA with bad free throws but accurate shooting is only Big Apple.

Despite his hefty weight but flexible pace, Bynum made full use of his footwork in the next offense, first arching Yao Ming slightly out of the way, and then making a gesture to turn right to force a dunk from the baseline. There was no reason for the little giant to let his opponent run rampant, and he moved slightly to the right to try to block his opponent's movements.

Bynum's feints helped him successfully trick Yao Ming, and then things were much simpler, turning his body to the left, a straight and straight sky hook calmly shot, although he did not have excellent shooting skills, but his soft touch when using small hooks always allowed him to shoot the basketball into the basket.

As a killer feature that was successfully developed under the guidance of Abdul-Jabbar last season, Anzhu is now more and more proficient in using this trick, from the original slam dunk to the current small hook, Bynum is acting more and more like a top center, if his mind can be a little more mature!

"Oh, Andrew, that's handsome!" Li Chen's heartfelt admiration for his teammates' strength, from the feint just now, Li Chen knew that there was hope for this ball, unlike the two of them who were equally miserable free throws, An Zhu's hook hit rate was very guaranteed.

Bynum, who successfully performed once, looked very happy, "This is what I want to say, although Yao Ming is very strong, but I am not bad, my nickname is Little Shark, and the three-second zone is my territory!" ”

No one bothered An Zhu's self-absorption, indeed, he who successfully scored the ball had the capital to be proud, and if he had the strength, he should take his responsibility, and forbearance has never been respected in the NBA!

In this era when there are fewer and fewer traditional centers, people thought that Warcraft and Little Giant would be the last pair to watch, but now it seems that Little Shark also seems to have a strength that cannot be ignored. Bynum, who has both a monster-like physique and hook skills, is bound to set off a new round of center craze in the NBA! (To be continued.) )
