303. Fight the Duo Again
After entering the court, Huaben didn't say a word, and first gave Sula a big hug. When he first came to the Pistons, Sula was an important backup on their guard line, and they had a good relationship, soaking together in nightclubs and drinking together, if it weren't for the exchange for Rashid. Wallace and Sula could spend the final days of their careers with the Pistons.
"Now you're majestic, Ben, I didn't expect you to make such a name for yourself now." Sula smiled heartily. In the mouth of Chinese fans, Sula's reputation is not good, because he has not passed the ball to Yao Ming much since he was a point guard, which is also a common problem of local players in the United States, when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, many people hated him, jealous him, and then boycotted him.
Waben shook his head and said modestly, "God, uh no, Allah bless." Bob, how are you? Listen to me, the relationship with Yao is better, I know that you shouldn't have earned enough pension money, and with Yao, you can at least get a few advertising contracts. ”
Sula shrugged indifferently, and at this time Maddie came over, Hua Ben let go of him, turned around and hugged Maddie Etiquette, and then asked with a big grin: "You don't want to be a landlord when you come to Houston?" Yao invited us to dinner, what are you going to invite us for? ”
Maddie smiled shyly and said, "I know what you want to do, Ben, do you want to go to the bar after the game?" But I don't go to that kind of place. How about I give you a set of game cards? ”
Huaben was dumbfounded, and just at this time, the referee beckoned to them, signaling the starters of both teams to prepare for the game.
"I'm not going to show mercy today, you know, I'm the one who defends you." Wabben left with such a sentence, and Maddie shrugged his shoulders and walked slowly to the halfway circle to be with Iguodalaka.
Oku and Yao Ming are standing facing each other, neither of them is short, and the latter is now the second tallest in the NBA (Mavericks center Bradley is still in the NBA, this gentleman is 2.29 meters tall, worthy of the name of the tallest person). It's just that when he jumps the ball, Oku finally fights for his breath, his bounce speed is faster than Yao Ming, and finally picks the ball to Patin with a half-palm higher.
Sura is a big point guard, due to age, the speed has decreased slightly, and the explosiveness is no longer as brave as it used to be, and when he first debuted, his physical fitness was the top among whites, and he liked to dunk the most. Later, he was injured frequently, and now he relies more on experience to play. For Pattin, this point guard is his favorite.
In the face of Sula's defense, Patin waved his hand to organize Iguodala and Wang Zhizhi to run in the high post, the latter came up to block him, Patin moved two steps sideways to run out of the gap, raised his hand and passed the ball to Huaben on the inside.
The height difference between Hua Ben and Yao Ming is more than 20 centimeters, and back hitting is not a way at all. Yao Ming belongs to the last traditional center in the NBA, and is not afraid of back play in the restricted area, Van Gundy has just come to the Rockets this season and has not yet added weight to Yao Ming, so his steps are still very flexible, but he lacks strength.
It was a move to deal with Yao Minghua, his butt sat back, and he slammed sideways against Yao Ming. Yao Ming's strength was not strong enough and his body center of gravity was high, he couldn't stop a monster like Hua Ben at all, and as soon as the two came into contact, he staggered back two steps.
The gap came out, Hua Ben hooked sideways to make a layup, Yao Ming barely jumped up, but he didn't interfere, and the ball fell into the hoop accurately.
The defense of the Rockets, the one in charge of Yao Ming is Oku, and Huaben has great hopes for him: "Memet, shame on you!" Do you remember what Yao did to you last season? Boss, let me remind you, either go around the front to make it easy for him not to get the ball, or push him out of the penalty area behind him, anyway, don't let Yao get the ball in the penalty area. ”
Hua Ben said a few words, but he couldn't explain any more, Maddie had already passed the front court and stretched out his hand to ask for the ball.
In the 2004-05 season, Maddie was one of the best swingmen in the league, with the power of the scoring champion for two consecutive seasons, invincible in the league, and Kobe Bryant who could be compared to him, he was super athletic, good awareness, and the ball was equal to half a hoop in his hands.
Maddie got the ball and considered it, and instead of attacking directly, she squinted and looked at Huaben with sleepy eyes. Hua Ben bent his body slightly and looked at Maddie intently, and his steps were constantly adjusted to make his whole body muscles into an active state, preventing Maddie from breaking through too quickly and not having time to react.
Yao Ming made a look to come up to cover, Maddie shook his head, he grabbed the ball with one hand and lifted it up, tentatively passing it inside. Unfazed, Waeben stepped back a little, and he estimated that Maddie should break through for a layup.
But he guessed wrong, Maddie's calf muscles tightened, and her waist and abdomen exerted all her strength, and suddenly jumped up on the spot, gracefully holding the ball and shaking her hand, and projected the ball before Huaben was forced to come up.
Huaben hurriedly jumped, it was too late, and Maddie's bullet speed was no slower than his.
At 2:3, the Rockets took the lead. Maddie was also very excited to score three points in front of Huaben, and rarely waved his fist and glared at Huaben to demonstrate.
Hua Ben glanced at Maddie curiously, and said to Wang Zhizhi: "Look, Maddie's eyes are not small, who said that his eyes are small?" ”
Wang Zhizhi didn't know how to answer, so he smiled and said, "Yes, it's not small, like a duck's egg." ”
Patin swam through Sula's defence like a loach and rushed forward without pressure to get the ball into Iguodala's hands.
When he first came to the Rockets, Maddie was still working the defensive end. Among the swingman guards, Maddy's defense is top-notch, and he started with dirty work when he was with the Raptors. But they have the same problem as O'Neal, the two are very lazy, no matter which team Maddie is in, he doesn't like to defend after playing his value, unlike Kobe Bryant, who has dominated the defensive line all year round.
Now Maddie's defensive attitude is very good, Iguodala birdie flies and flies, but he can't fly Maddie's bird's net, but he is almost broken twice. In the end, Iguodala also lost his temper, forcing Maddie to break into the three-second zone and make a pull-up jump shot.
Maddie's braking ability is stronger than Iguodala, the opponent's emergency stop is not enough for him, Iguodala stops Maddie also stops, he shoots, Maddie blocks him.
At this time, I saw Sura's experience, and when the two jumped, Sura stuck Pattin, and the ball was blocked by Maddie, and he rushed straight up to get the ball in his hand. Fortunately, the Rockets are not a team that is good at playing fast breaks, and they didn't let them play defensive counterattacks.
Sura took the ball and swam at the top of the three-point line, Maddie came out to answer, and saw that this kid got the ball again, Hua Ben was angry: What's the matter, that ball just now gave you confidence? Think you're playing the best defensive player in a four-in-a-row?
Maddie tentatively probed, Waben stared at him vigilantly, perhaps sensing his murderous aura, Maddie smiled slightly, and passed the ball over Wabeto's head into the inside line.
Oku followed Huaben's decree and entangled Yao Ming around the front, and the first attack directly pushed Yao Ming out of the penalty area, which led to Maddie's single. As a result, he didn't pay attention just now, Yao Ming successfully stuck him, and Maddie's pass arrived immediately.
Yao Ming didn't hesitate to get the ball, his body bumped in, and he retreated and jumped at the same time as knocking back Oku, this offensive skill he was very proficient in the CBA, and he played like fire and innocence when he came to the NBA.
"Smack!" Yao Mingqiu shot, but was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile before it flew to the highest point, Wang Zhizhi's figure appeared beside Oku and Yao Ming, and he always paid attention to the fight between the two. No one knew Yao Ming's retreat better than him, and as soon as he saw him retreating, Wang Zhizhi was ready to block it.
Hua Ben turned around and grabbed the ball, and Iguodala gave Wang Zhizhi a thumbs up and said, "Well done, Wang, avenge me!" ”
"Report to your sister, should we talk now? Would you like a pot of coffee? Damn it, aggro! Aggro! Aggro! Wajben glared at Iguodala and began to roar, what a good opportunity was wasted, Iguodala and Patin together, it is simply a fast-break first lineup, which is one size smaller Nash + Xiaosi.
Iguodala smiled awkwardly and ran down with his head down, Patin had been waiting for him in the front court for a long time. However, the opportunity was missed, and Jackson had already entered the front box.
This ball can only be a steady positional battle, Hua Ben attacked Yao Ming again on the inside, and Little Van Gundy waved his hand and sent Uncle Huo in, shouting vigorously: "Go help Yao, go help Yao!" Protect his physical strength, protect him! ”
Hua Ben glanced at Fan Bald, he really has a good impression of this head coach, although this guy is very strict, but the NBA does not love his players more than him. Coaching Yao Ming, although it was his advocacy of letting Yao Ming gain weight that led to the opponent's injury and suspension after a few seasons, Yao Ming really didn't miss a few games when he was under him, because he used Yao Ming's time very reasonably and never let him play more than 40 minutes. Adelman is also a good coach, kind and considerate of the player, but unfortunately he does not pay attention to details and does not consider Yao Ming's ability to bear.
The first beneficiary of the 100 million yuan poison contract, Huo Ershu Huo Laohu (one of the Michigan Five Tigers), although he is old, his speed is good, and he is sandwiched in Huaben in a flash. At this time, Huaben blinked an eye and passed the ball to Oku.
The Turk was empty, jumper, and hit the iron with a bang.
Nima, I have to come by myself! Waben's muscular body swayed from side to side on the inside, and Yao Ming and Howard were knocked out of the way together, and he jumped up and picked the ball off with one hand.
Yao Ming reacted quickly, and after being knocked out of the way, he immediately retracted his body, stuck in front of Hua Ben again, and squeezed the other party. Hua Ben protected the ball and turned around, and hoisted the ball out to Wang Zhizhi, who was leaking in the high position, this time did not disappoint him, Wang Zhizhi raised his hand is a medium and long-distance jumper, and won two points steadily.
In front of the TV set on the other side of the ocean, how many fans rejoiced, between attack and defense, Wang Zhizhi once again showed the heroic posture of the CBA, which they had not seen for many years. For basketball fans before 2004, they were more familiar with Wang Zhizhi than Yao Ming, a seven-time CBA champion, and Bayi at that time was an all-Chinese class, which was called a Chinese popularity!
The Rockets attacked again, Wabbon entangled Maddie and stayed by his side, Sula didn't dare to pass the ball at will, he was teammates with Wabben and understood the horrors of the other side, especially on the defensive end. It just so happened that Jackson shook off Iguodala with Yao Ming's cover, and he immediately passed the ball over.
Jackson pressed Iguodala's jumper, and the power of the Maverick 3J was still there, and the mid-range jumper was very stable.
