Chapter 25 China Competition (7) Where is the subscription reward?
The score at the end of the third quarter was a score that all the fans did not expect, but the fans did not boo, but were very happy, this is the basketball game they want to see.
Knight's rest area.
Brown looked at the players who came off the field one by one and waited for them to sit down, and then spoke, "Huang Jun, don't take Maddy's last ball to heart, Maddie's dry pull is very difficult to prevent, even Battier is helpless about it, I can't blame you at all, and you don't need to blame yourself." Brown was really afraid of damaging Huang Jun's confidence, so he persuaded.
Huang Jun smiled and said, "Coach, you think too much, I won't be hit, don't worry" Huang Jun didn't know what the coach meant when he said this, and he was still a little moved in his heart.
Mike Brown smiled and didn't continue the conversation, instead saying "Four points, we're four points ahead, obviously this margin at least doesn't have any advantage at the moment, because there's still a quarter of the game, obviously everything can happen, it's not settled." ”
"Next, Gibson, you go to Huang Jun's position, Huang Jun, you rest first, Battier you and James also go up, ready to play the fourth quarter, and the next lineup is as follows: Gibson, Szzczebiak, Battier, James and Asik. James, you don't have any problems playing the number four position, right? After saying that, Brown looked at James, and if James didn't like the number four position, he would ask Battier to switch with him.
"Coach, no problem, how could there be a problem: James said with a smile, no matter which position he played, he felt that he could, who told him to be so versatile.
Brown saw that James had no opinion, so he went on to arrange.
Rocket here.
Adelman looked at Maddie without moving, didn't say a word, just looked straight at Maddie.
Of course, Maddie knew why the coach thought of him like this, but since the coach didn't speak, Maddie didn't plan to speak, because he didn't know how to speak, so he had to keep his head down.
Adelman saw that he was almost done, and then he said, "It's really not a problem for us to be four points behind, but in the next few minutes, I need everyone to be able to give me the score and I will talk about the next lineup."
"Alston, Barry, Artest, Scola and Yao Ming, this lineup is your main inside, Yao Ming, you know? As for Maddie, you will rest for a while, and you will be needed later, and at the same time, give me a good reflection during this time."
Adelman took a breath and continued, "Next, use the joint defense, still give me James to shoot, I don't believe he will be so accurate, don't put the opponent's shooter, the requirements of the joint defense are very simple, just don't let them play the perfect match for me or something, it's better to let them fall into singles, that's the best"
Everyone nodded, signaling that they knew.
Maddie sat on the bench without saying a word, staring blankly at the front, not knowing what he was thinking, but Adelman wouldn't care what Maddie was thinking, because the game was about to start.
The game starts, and the Cavaliers attack first.
Gibson dribbled past half court and passed the ball to James.
James, who received the ball, frowned slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with the ball passed to him, looked back at Huang Jun who was resting on the bench, and shook his head slightly after looking at Gibson, who was not easy to detect.
Obviously, James was comparing Huang Jun and Gibson just now, hehe.
James controls the ball, Artest stares at James, but people are far away from James, the meaning is obviously to let you shoot, even if your jump shot improves, I still let you shoot, I accept my fate, and if we don't get into the rebound, we will fight back.
James looked at Artay, and then at the distance between himself and him, James was full of helplessness. Since you let me vote, wouldn't it be a good idea for you not to vote?
So James pulled up directly in front of Artest, pulled the basketball in his hand, and pulled out the three-point shot, Artest turned his head to look at the final result of the ball.
The final result made Artest very depressed, the ball went directly into the heart and into the net, which James is sure not to open today? Why is the three-point shot so accurate?
James didn't pay attention to Artest's incredible eyes at all, and went straight back to the defense. "If you look down on my jumper, I'm going to make you pay the price, but it felt really good today," James said in his heart as he returned to the defense.
Alston controlled the ball, hoisted the ball to Yao Ming on the inside in the half, and let Yao Ming go to play this year's Turkish rookie, Alston thought in his heart that Yao Ming's ball was 100% in, what kind of pressure can a rookie bring to Yao Ming?
Yao Ming received the ball, turned around and hit Asik with his back, resisted a few times, since he couldn't resist, Yao Ming said in his heart at the moment, "This rookie's next game is very stable, and it is also very good in terms of strength, it seems that this year's knight has a good vision, whether it is Huang Jun or Asik, he has chosen the right one"
Yao Ming saw that he couldn't resist, so he had to turn to the second, and directly turned around and threw a slightly backward jumper, Asik didn't keep up in time, and at the same time, Asik couldn't keep up, Asik's footsteps were not so flexible, so he could only watch Yao Ming throw the ball on his head.
The ball fell into the net bag without suspense. The Rockets are temporarily five points behind the Cavaliers.
Next, James received the ball again, and then a very timely pass went to the hands of Battier in the bottom corner, and it was completely empty, and the defender didn't know where to go for a snack.
Seeing this, Battier sealed his throat with a sword, shot three-point, brushed, and hollowed into the net again.
This three-point is the fourth three-pointer Battier has made in this game, and it is also the sixth three-pointer of the game, and the shooting rate has reached a terrifying four-of-six, Battier perfectly interprets his ability to shoot three-pointers.
It makes the opponent frightened, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it reflects Battier's ability to set up three-point shots.
Next, the rocket passed the ball to Yao Ming again, but this time Yao Ming failed to score the ball, and the rebound was grabbed by James, and he directly launched a fast attack.
James is also fast and powerful, rushing like a small tank.
When James was counterattacking, he watched everywhere and listened to all directions, and no matter where the wind and grass were blowing, he couldn't escape James's golden eyes. Suddenly, James's eyes lit up, and he hit the ball in his hand to the ground fiercely, and instantly counterattacked the figure in James's heart, who is it?
I saw a bald head who received this wonderful pass from James, bald head, who else but Battier?
Battier received the ball without any hesitation and came to a three-point shot, the ball drew a beautiful arc, towards the basket that he always aimed at, and with the sound of a crisp net, the ball was perfectly entered the basket.
Adelman immediately called a timeout.
In a short period of time, the Cavaliers scored three three-pointers in a row and shot three three-pointers, giving the Rockets a nine-to-two attack wave, instantly stretching the difference from four points to an eleven-point advantage.
Adelman didn't call a timeout, and was completely stopped by the Cavaliers, Adelman never expected that he let the players play joint defense, but it was a fatal mistake, and the opponent scored three three-pointers in a row and slapped him with a loud slap.
Rocket Zone.
Adelman didn't know what to say at this time, because what should have been said had been said for a long time now, and he didn't expect that he would call a timeout in such a short time, and now Adelman regrets it, Battier would rather be a player on the team than trade, and now it's okay, Battier will give retribution to the Rockets.
And in exchange for Ben's performance so far, it is only mediocre, not meeting the team's expectations of him at all, and the opponent's Landry performance is also okay, playing 20 minutes so far, getting 10 points and 6 rebounds, if he is given more time to perform, wouldn't it be even better?
"We didn't expect such a sharp three-pointer from the other side, so it's fair to say that it's all my mistake and I can't blame you. But I still don't want to change the defensive tactics, and I want you to stick to this defense and not focus too much on Battier. He's been teammates with you, and you know his power for sure, so I'm not going to say much about that. ”
"Brooks, you come on the court to replace Alston, you play well in the chaos, if the opponent still shoots threes, you shoot threes with Barry, and when you don't have time, you pass the ball to Yao Ming, who is inside. I don't believe their three-point shooting will always be so good, Maddie, you just have a break," Adelman said and looked at Maddie.
Maddie nodded, signaling that he didn't have any opinion, and besides, he wanted to rest well, he didn't want to get injured in the preseason or something, which was obviously not what he wanted. In the preseason, the coach has absolutely no problem with him not playing, because it is a game that doesn't make any sense in his heart.
If it weren't for the commercial contract and fans in China, Maddie believes that he would never come to China to participate in such a game, and he came to China undoubtedly for the popularity of the commercial contract.
Knight's side.
Brown looked at Battier who came off the field and immediately boasted "Battier, your performance is really great, that's why we traded you, come on" Brown looked at Battier with a smile.
Battier just smiled and didn't say anything back.
In fact, in Battier's heart, he still cares a lot about the Rockets giving up himself for the sake of Big Ben, he knows that his position is the same as Artest's position, and Artest is better than him, good at defense or anything, and his body is above him.
However, Battier has always thought that he is not comparable to Artest at all, although Artest is better than himself in all aspects, but Battier just has that confidence, he just thinks that he is stronger than Artest.
It's just that the general manager finally chose Atai, and Battier had no choice but to be helpless, and at the same time comforted himself in his heart, "Maybe it's a good choice to come to the knight, there is no threat to his status in the knight, and the most important thing is that the knight needs him, which is enough." ”
