"One step strategy?" Conley seemed to understand a little, but he still had some doubts.

"That's right, take a step forward. Didn't you notice that this Rocket No. 5 just blindly broke through but rarely shot? This shows that shooting is his shortcoming. So when defending, as long as you let him take a step and put a shot to defend the break, he has nothing to do but pass the ball out. You just have to force him to pass the ball and you've done it. ”

"I see!" Conley suddenly realized. I secretly admired Paul in my heart and walked onto the court. At this time, he is already full of confidence, with the coach's point pulling, coupled with his defensive ability, the Rockets' No. 5 will not be able to break through even if it is against the sky. After all, No. 5 is not James, and the earthlings can't stop it.

After returning to the court, the Rockets replaced the twin towers on the interior and brought Howard and Jones up. No matter how bad Howard is, he is a superstar after all, and a fixed period of time in each game must be played by the family, otherwise people will be unhappy. And now that the Rockets are behind, the opponent is unlikely to use the chopping tactic, so Howard must be played. And on Howard, it is inevitable to pair with Jones, which is the interior combination that McHale feels works best after many trials.

In terms of the selection of the backcourt, he did not make any more substitutions, still Harden, Jeremy Lin and Wen Hao.

In the first shot, the Grizzlies attacked, and Randolph relied on his physical advantage to carry Howard to the basket, turned and hit the ball with a hook hand.

Although Howard is much stronger physically than Randolph, he is not as heavy as Randolph, and as long as Randolph carries him to fight, he can't jump no matter how good he jumps. This is also the reason why Howard was beaten once when he saw Da Yao.

McHale shook his head helplessly, this is also a helpless thing, I just hope that Howard can return Randolph in the future.

The Rockets attacked, Jeremy Lin controlled the ball after half court, and handed it to Harden, who shook it for nearly ten seconds and saw that there was no chance before passing it to Wen Hao. Wen Hao received the ball and wanted to break through, but when he was about to start, he was stunned, only to see that Conley did not desperately stick up to defend this time, but only dangled one and a half steps away from him.

Wen Hao's mind exploded, and Paul's figure floated through his mind: another step to defend......

Although Wen Hao recovered from the blow, he was still a little afraid of this defensive method that once made him lose his self-confidence. In desperation, he had to pass the ball to Howard on the inside.

Howard carried Randolph twice, but as if he had hit a meat shield, he didn't carry the others, and he was bounced out two steps.

Seeing this, McHale on the sidelines shouted anxiously: "Virtual and real steps, virtual and real steps......"

But as soon as Howard turned around, he was slapped by Randolph and cut the ball, passed to Conley, and then launched a fast break to score 2 points.

Another offense, Harden couldn't break through and passed the ball to Wen Hao, who couldn't break through under Conley's step-back defense, and didn't dare to shoot, so he had to hand over the ball to Howard again. This time, as soon as Howard got the ball, he was immediately caught by the Grizzlies Black and White Bears, who held the ball with both hands and kept twisting his upper body, but he couldn't shoot or pass.

"False and real footsteps, ......"

McHale was on the verge of crying.

How could Howard practice well when practicing, but when it came to the critical moment, he just couldn't use it. As he waved his elbow left and right, the referee's whistle blew and Howard was on a three-second violation.

"Oh no, Howard made another mistake," Narrator Worry sighed, shaking his head.

"This big man has explosiveness, speed, and bounce, it's just that his feet are too messy, when will he learn to play with skill instead of pure power?" Brad, another commentator, shook his head as well.

"I heard that he has been learning from McHale recently, and he has made rapid progress, why don't you see him doing it?" Glider Drexler said expectantly, "If this big man learns McHale's footsteps, he'll be at least a third more powerful." ”

As the three commentators spoke, the Grizzlies added two more points to widen the gap to nine points, but the clock was only six minutes away. While chasing 9 points in 6 minutes is not a difficult task for the Rockets, it will be too difficult if the opponent is replaced by a team like the Grizzlies who play a slow-paced and strong defense. What's more, now Harden's breakthrough is invalid, Howard is caught by two bears, Wen Hao can't break through under Conley's step-back defense, and only Jeremy Lin can occasionally hit a mid-range shot, but this is equivalent to a drop in the bucket for a 9-point difference. The rocket seems to have reached a dead end.

In Memphis, a lot of fans are already celebrating in advance.

"What about rockets? What about Warcraft? Haven't you been abused by our black and white bears? ”

"How good is the 5th? If you take a step to defend, he will lose his effect, like a wasted man. ”

"I heard that Warcraft has been practicing some steps recently, I think it's practicing walking, right? A monster, a No. 5, look at their embarrassed appearance, like two monkeys being played by us, hahahaha......"

At this time, Conley faced Wen Hao, who was holding the ball, and he was also proud: "Aren't you going to break through?" Come on, suddenly one, or else a jump shot, come on, a ......"

Wen Hao frowned slightly in the face of provocation. In front of such a defense, he really couldn't break through, but when he gave the ball to Howard, Howard didn't work. The Rockets seem to have no way to do anything under the Grizzlies' unbreakable defense. Could it be that in the first game when he cheered up, he was going to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat with the Rockets?

No, it can't be like this, never give up until the last second! Carter Jr.'s stubborn figure is still vivid, in the face of opponents who are several times stronger than himself, he has never given up, how can he give up.

At this time, Wen Hao vaguely seemed to hear McHale's roar to the monster: "...... Virtuality and Reality Footsteps ......"

Hearing McHale's voice, McHale's figure flashed in his mind, Wen Hao suddenly moved in his heart and passed the ball to Jeremy Lin next to him.

As long as Wen Hao passed the ball out, Conley would be considered successful in defense, and he looked at Wen Hao with a playful smile: "Chinese, defending you is simply easier than taking off a woman's clothes." ”

Qiao Ge also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Hao pass the ball, this time the defense was a success.

But at this moment, Wen Hao ran without the ball, came to the edge of the penalty area on the right side, and asked Jeremy Lin for the ball with open hands.

Jeremy Lin already trusted Wen Hao very much, and did not give the ball to Harden, but passed it to Wen Hao. However, he still has some doubts, he has the ball here, and there is no room to break through, Conley has already defended himself in place if he shoots, how to deal with it?

Just when Jeremy Lin was puzzled, he saw Wen Hao with his back to Conley's defense, took a step inside, and then suddenly took his left foot as the axis, turned to the side to face Conley, and raised the ball with his right hand.

Conley instinctively thought that Wen Hao was going to hook his hand, so he hurriedly jumped up and sealed Wen Hao. With his bounce, even if Wen Hao is a hook, he can completely seal it.

But at the moment when he jumped up, Wen Hao's right hand did not make a move, but retracted it, shrank his body, and took a step forward with his right foot, just avoiding Conley who flew out.

Conley screamed in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late, he had already flown over Wen Hao's head, with his back to Wen Hao, and it was too late to pull it.

At this time, Wen Hao faced the unguarded basket and easily hit the board into the basket.

"Huh!"

When the basketball hit, the entire Toyota Center froze for a moment, and the next moment, an unbelievable voice came out of Drexler's mouth - virtual and real...... Footsteps!
