272 bag clip Kobe
Wen Hao and Harden discussed the countermeasures, and the two immediately had a clear division of labor. Harden defended Kobe Bryant, but as soon as Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Wen Hao immediately stepped forward to wrap up with Harden. And although the hit rate of Nash, who is Wen Hao's main defense, is also very terrible, at least because of his age, his breakthrough is not very sharp, and his movement rate has dropped a lot, so he is not afraid that he will be brushed a lot of points after missing him.
At this time, Kobe Bryant received the ball again, and he was just about to turn around and jump, when he saw that Wen Hao had suddenly grabbed it and formed a trap with Harden. Seeing this, Kobe Bryant didn't come hard, he had already passed the ball to Nash when Wen Hao pounced.
Since Wen Hao went to bag Kobe, Nash was vacant. The rest of the Rockets rotated unfavorably and couldn't make up for it at all, and were hit by Nash directly from outside the three-point line.
Looking back, Wen Hao dribbled from the outside, and Harden made a rare air cut, cutting down the middle. Wen Hao's eyes looked at Da Yao, and the ball was unconsciously passed to Harden. Harden spread his arms in the air and slammed the ball into the basket with a powerful slam dunk.
McHale, who was on the sidelines, saw that Wen Hao and Harden, who had never been very compatible, worked together to defend against Kobe Bryant when defending, and cooperated again when attacking, and he was secretly happy in his heart. The two finally got together. If they can work together a little more tacitly, then the Rockets will become extremely tough.
And Lakers coach De? Anthony was a little worried when he saw that Wen Hao and Harden had cooperated. If these two people work together, it will be a big disadvantage to the Lakers......
Another ball, after Kobe Bryant was caught by Wen Hao and Harden, he passed the ball to Nash again. The Rockets had another unfavorable rotation, and what Nash didn't say was naturally another three-point shot. Although Howard has been blocked, Nash's step-back shooting is also very powerful. Although it does not have Kobe's leaning back, the shooting percentage is a little higher than Kobe's. That's what makes Nash unique.
On the sidelines, McHale saw Nash hit two three-pointers in a row and called a timeout.
Morality? Anthony stepped forward to meet the Lakers and said to Kobe and Nash, "You guys did a great job, continue to do this." Once Bryant was caught in the bag, he passed the ball to Nash. However, I believe that McHale will definitely let the Rockets speed up the rotation to defend Nash when he takes a timeout. If that's the case, it's right for us, and Nash's passing is very good, and when the time comes, we just need to pass the ball to someone else. We always pass the ball faster than they rotate, they can make up once, they can make up twice, what about three or four times? What about five times or six times? So we always have the opportunity to show up, that's all, be patient. ”
The Lakers had narrowed the gap to 6 points at this time, and when they heard coach Anthony say this, they roared in unison: "Yes! ”
On the Rockets' side, McHale called a timeout and said to the rest of the Rockets: "When Wen Hao goes to wrap Kobe, the rest of you have to try your best to rotate and guard against Nash." Whether he's shooting two points or three-pointers, that's pretty scary. ”
Team Rocket was silent. They all admit that the coach is right, and they did have a bit of a slack defense just now and couldn't stop Nash. The coach now stressed that they must speed up the rotation and prevent Nash from killing after they play next.
But at this moment, Wen Hao said to McHale: "Coach, you can't prevent Nash. ”
"Oh?" McHale turned his head to look at Wen Hao in surprise. Although I know that Wen Hao has always had a lot of ghost ideas, but now is obviously the time to guard against Nash, but not against him, why is this?
The other players of the Rockets also turned their heads to look at Wen Hao, begging for an explanation.
Wen Hao smiled slightly and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, Nash's passing is very sharp, if we have someone to make up for Nash, he will definitely pass the ball to the unguarded player." Then it's likely that the Lakers will open up the whole team. In this case, it is better to let Nash play alone. ”
When everyone in the rocket heard this, they all nodded secretly, and it was indeed as Wen Hao said.
McHale thought for a moment and frowned: "This...... So are we going to let Nash go? His hit rate was truly terrifying. It would be too risky to let him go. ”
Wen Hao said to McHale: "Coach, in fact, you don't have to worry so much. There's no denying that Nash is shooting from the field, whether it's a two-point or a three-pointer. But trust me, it's better to let him open it alone than to let the Lakers open it as a team. And there's another thing, Nash playing isn't necessarily a bad thing for us. Maybe this seems to be the Lakers' weapon, but it is actually their weakness. ”
"Weakness?" McHale was a little unable to keep up with Wen Hao's thinking.
Wen Hao didn't explain, only said: "Coach, believe me, I've found a way to defeat the Lakers." ”
McHale hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering, apparently constantly estimating the pros and cons of doing so.
"Coach, just do it, I believe Wen Hao." Howard spoke first, and he had always believed in the Chinese's brain.
"Coach, just do what Wen Hao said," Jones also said, "Even if we can't see the weakness he said for the time being, it is indeed much better to let Nash play alone than the Lakers as a whole." ”
"I believe in Wen Hao." Parsons said.
"I believe it too." Asik also spoke.
Da Yao pressed Wen Hao's shoulder, although he didn't speak, his meaning was self-evident.
Seeing this, McHale looked at several assistant coaches around him, and the assistant coaches all nodded. McHale then made up his mind and said, "Okay, just as you say." ”
In fact, McHale thought that this solution would work from the beginning, but he had always been cautious and felt that it was still a bit risky. The Rockets have already lost two games and can't afford to lose again. So he's hesitating. But after seeing so many people, including several assistant coaches, agree with Wen Hao's method, he finally figured it out.
After the timeout, commentator Mullin saw the two sides playing, and he said: "Nash just hit two three-pointers in a row to narrow the gap to 6 points, what strategy do you think the Lakers' McHale should adopt to defend Nash?" ”
"This ...... Quite simply, it's nothing more than a rotation speed that strengthens the defense, making it impossible for Nash to shoot. "Gerner made a look like I knew it.
"But there's a problem in it, if the Rockets do that, then with Nash's passing skills, it will definitely pass to the most suitable player, and that player will be unguarded at that time, wouldn't it be easy to hit? Even if the Rockets rotate fast and guard against that player, there will still be people who will be missed. As a result, the Lakers have a chance except for Kobe Bryant and Nash. If it is opened by someone else, then the Rockets have to defend against others, and then Kobe Bryant will be powerful again. Team Rocket is passive. ”
"That's true. But that's how it is to play, step by step, step by step, who let the Rockets let go of Nash and let Nash hit two three-pointers in a row? ”
As he spoke, the two teams were already fighting. This time the Rockets attacked, and Wen Hao and Harden actually played a clever match.
I saw Wen Hao dribbling on the outside, and Harden got rid of Kobe Bryant from the left side with the help of Parsons' cover and cut to the inside. At this point, Gasol had to turn around to defend Harden. But no one expected that Harden wanted to catch the ball and Wen Hao wanted to pass the ball, which was just a feint, Wen Hao changed direction the moment he passed the ball, and the ball flew towards the top of the monster's head. This kind of good thing of empty connection, how can Warcraft be polite, smash the ball, smash it, smash it, roar when it enters, and the sound shocks the audience.
Looking back, Kobe Bryant took the ball in the front court, and was caught by Wen Hao and Harden. Bryant immediately passed the ball to Nash.
Nash took the ball and didn't shoot, according to Der? Anthony said that someone would come and cover it, and that's when he just passed the ball.
……
However, after waiting for a second, the rest of Team Rocket had no intention of coming over to make up for it. Nash was a little puzzled, and raised his hand to make another three-pointer, chasing the difference to only 5 points.
Not only is Nash strange, but the Lakers are the whole team, German? Anthony and the two commentators were puzzled, what the hell is this Rocket team doing? Don't guard against Nash? No way, everyone knows how accurate Nash's three-point shooting is, and the Rockets must have missed a defensive mistake just now.
Next, the Rockets hit another two-point shot through the cooperation of Wen Hao and Harden. Looking back, it was Kobe Bryant who didn't guard against Nash.
Nash waited for someone to defend him again, and when he saw that he was unguarded, he immediately made another three-point shot. This time, perhaps due to psychological fluctuations, I was not able to enter. After the Rockets grabbed the rebound, they launched a fast break, and Wen Hao passed the ball through the gap to Harden, who was in the first place. Harden didn't have much to say, took the European step, scored on a layup, and also caused a foul on Kobe Bryant. A free throw hits. The five points that the Lakers just chased became another eight.
At this time? Anthony was puzzled. What does this McHale want to do? Don't guard against Nash? Why? That's not his style.
The two commentaries are also very confusing. Mullin said: "It's strange that McHale didn't go to defend Nash, let Nash make a move. It's not like McHale could have done it. ”
After thinking for a moment, Gnar said: "I heard that many of the Rockets' tactics were arranged by their point guard, and this time it is very likely that he arranged it." By the way, it must be him. He must have known that if he defended Nash, Nash would pass the ball out, and the Lakers would be open. ”
"I have to admire his brain. However, his approach is really a little inappropriate, not guarding against Nash, which is equivalent to letting Nash practice three points, isn't this looking for death? Nash's three-point shooting percentage is terrifying. ”
But McHale was able to agree to such a play. Did they want Nash to kill them today? ”
"If the Rockets lose today, it must be a loss to Nash."
……
Wen Hao heard the words of the explanation, but he laughed secretly in his heart, and at the same time, two lines of poetry appeared in his mind: others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it...... (To be continued.) )
