With Yao Ming's another violent dunk, Lin Mu knew that if he wanted to perfectly clear the copy of the three small powerhouses in Texas, he had to find some ways to limit Yao Ming's play on the inside.

Although I don't want to admit it, this Great Wall of China, which is with Lin Mu in the national team, has become the most difficult enemy in front of the Thunder.

Only players who have faced Da Yao head-on can understand that oppressive feeling, whether it is Jordan Jr. or 28 cards, these two can't stop Da Yao's fixed-point blasting on the inside.

Especially for an interior player like Jordan Jr., who relies on his natural ability to play, think about the scene when Warcraft Howard played against Yao Ming, and you can know how embarrassing the first-year rookie Little Jordan played in this game.

"Coach, I beg to get off the field!"

Little Jordan almost wrote these five big characters on his face, because under Yao Ming, he could only lie down, and there was no room for resistance.

If you want to deal with Yao Ming, one person is not enough, you have to learn from the Jazz, Boozer, Kirilenko, plus a meat shield-type interior Oku, take turns to play, there are mid-range shots, confrontations, and then strengthen the defensive intensity in the consumption of Yao Ming's physical energy, only in this way can Yao Ming's play on the court be limited.

Of course, it's just a limit.

In 2007, in the series with the Jazz, even if Da Yao was taken care of, he was still able to score an average of 25.1 points per game plus 10.3 rebounds.

Compared to the Jazz's ample interior reserves, the Rockets can't find a second interior player who can play at all.

At that time, the Huaxia Forum was in mourning, but no one would deny Yao Ming's excellent performance against the Jazz.

Somehow, a few years later, when Yao Ming retired, it was even rumored that Yao Ming looked vulnerable against the Jazz.

The psychology of trolls is really hard to guess...

At halftime, the Thunder trailed the Rockets by 7 points, and the interior line was completely blown up, and after Yao Ming ravaged 28 cards and Jordan Jr., Kostic stood up.

Looking at the Thunder's "weak" interior defense, the expression on Kostic's face was self-evident: "How is it, do you regret trading me?" ”

"If I were here, would it be so difficult to defend Yao Ming?"

"What a bunch, fools without a vision!"

From the starting center position to the team's bench, Rao is a good-natured Kostic who feels that the Thunder are too deceitful.

Although he can learn a lot by Yao Ming's side, that doesn't mean the reason for your salvation!

Take advantage of your illness to kill you!

Kostic, who was about to step on his feet, suddenly realized why did the new rookie look a little brave?

fo

Forget about Jordan Jr., after all, they have played together, and Kostic still has some understanding of his technical characteristics.

But 28 cards were added to the team after the Thunder traded Kostic, and the data is unknown, the character characteristics are unknown, and the playing style is unknown......

Despite the lack of understanding, Kostic's confidence is very good against a first-year rookie.

However, after two rounds of inside attack, Kostic started to panic!

Didn't Yao Ming hammer them up easily, how can he change me?

If he knew Kostic's mental activity, Lin Mu would definitely laugh out loud on the spot.

A top-ranked All-Star center in the league, a qualified interior line who can only start in a "weak team" like the Thunder, the gap is not the same!

Well......

So, how to deal with this familiar fellow?

"Ding......

Oh no, this terrible sound!

"Hidden Mission Trigger: [Giant Killer]!"

[Giant Killer]: Defeated three NBA teams with the interior as the core in a row, with a current completion rate of 2/3.

“What？！”

Lin Mu was a little confused, why had the hidden mission been completed by two-thirds this time?

"Could it be that the Mavericks and Spurs of the Texas Big Three..."

The star of the Mavericks is Dirk Nowitzki, who is not a traditional center, but he is a serious No. 4 player who can also be counted as one of the core of the interior.

As for the Spurs' Tim Duncan, Lin Mu seriously suspected that Popovich was to continue Duncan's career, so he let Shi Fo play the No. 4 position and become the No. 1 in history.

After all, the confrontation of the center is much higher than the intensity of the confrontation in front of the day, and a group of muscular men are fighting on the inside, Rao is Duncan's physique is amazing, and it is inevitable that he will be affected by injuries.

Of course, when Duncan entered the league, there was already a legendary-level center player in the team, and the existence of "Admiral" Robinson made Duncan active in the power forward position very early.

Compared with card boards, blocks, and interior offense, Duncan has more advantages in offensive techniques such as single defense, assistant defense, relying on mid-range, and small hooks.

However, in the later part of the Spurs' career, Duncan will also play the center position of the Spurs most of the time, which can be regarded as an alternative swing man.

Therefore, the truce of GDP, even if it does not collide with Duncan head-on, still completes the team's task indicators?

"Gou system, is it starting to be human?"

But on second thought, this hidden mission is just as difficult.

If GDP does not choose a truce, the Thunder thinks about the Spurs, and you can understand by looking at the current competition with the Rockets that there is still no one who can limit Duncan's defense.

Therefore, Yao Ming has become the main strategic target at this stage.

Eliminate him, and the hidden mission can be completed!

Recalling the punishment after the failure of the previous mission, Lin Mu was firm in his heart and must not lose today's game.

"Coach, open up space, we don't need to fight with Yao Ming on the inside!"

Zhuge Lin Mu was online again, Scott touched his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up!

With a big wave of the hand, the Thunder's starting lineup in the second half changed again.

Lowry, Lin Mu, Durant, 28 cards and Nick Collisson.

I almost forgot that the team's mascot and the team's locker room leader, Collison, can be a-stirring stick on the inside.

Nick Collison has a strong style of play, excellent rebounding, he likes to fight against him and has an extremely developed muscle, even if he has a huge height disadvantage in the face of Yao Ming, but the victory is stable in the next set, and Da Yao wants to rely on the confrontation to open Collison, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

What's more, 28 cards and little Jordan have no height disadvantage?

The entire league, with the exception of Sean Bradley, who has retired, is at an absolute height disadvantage against Yao Ming.

After replacing Jordan Jr. and moving Yin Bacca to the No. 4 position, the Thunder's on-court offense immediately improved.

Yin Baca is accurate in the middle distance, Durant is accurate in the middle distance, Lowry is accurate in the middle distance, Lin Mu is in the middle distance... Fair.

Yao Ming, as a traditional interior lineman, cannot maintain a large defensive area in the case of weight gain, and the three players with long-range shooting threats can easily get a shot through blocking and pick-and-roll.

Collisson's ability to block and pick and drop is one of the things he relies on to survive.

A man who can stay in the Thunder until retirement, even the former Thunder Twins can't do it.

In the face of the Thunder's lineup changes, Adelman, as one of the NBA's historical coaches, naturally sniffed out the cattiness.

If you want to shoot us by shooting, I'm afraid you're delusional!

Adelman also made immediate substitution adjustments, Brooks was replaced by Battier, Joe Smith replaced Scola who was also slow on the defensive end, Artest was the starting three, and Maddy briefly became the ball carrier and organized the offense.

One thing to say, Adelman's on-court adaptability is still relatively good, otherwise he would not have become the 8th "Thousand Wins Coach" in NBA history in the future.

But to say whether Adelman is a good fit for this Rockets team is a big question mark.

You must know that Adelman in his previous life has always had major problems with the use of Yao Ming.

Where did Adelman's fame come from?

Far from it, the Portland Trail Blazers in the eighties and nineties of the last century, when his players included Drexler, who dominated the Western Conference defense list, Terry Porter, a resolute tactical executor, and Buck Williams, who played a fast-playing whirlwind with wide open and close, and ranked in the top 4 in the league in points per game all year round.

It is precisely because of these people that Adelman led the Trail Blazers to the finals twice, and although they were both undefeated, the achievements were extremely brilliant.

The second history of fame, presumably some fans in the early years will have an impression.

The Saramento Kings who played with a gorgeous style of play, they played a very cool style of play under the leadership of Adelman, and the Kings at this time had players such as Webber, Divac, Peja Stojakovic, Bibby, etc., and the coaching philosophy of Adelman complemented the technical characteristics of his players.

The Princeton System!

This "I am for everyone, everyone is for me" sharing team tactics attaches great importance to the four links of "space, timing, observation and execution".

Space refers to the position and distance between players on the field, timing refers to the timing of passing, running, and reversing, observation refers to observing the opponent's defensive position, and execution refers to the execution of basic techniques.

And the creator of this system, Pete Carell, as an assistant coach, has been sowing this tactical idea in this team for more than a year.

Adelman's arrival took root in the Kings, who led the Kings with Webb and Williams to become the league's most offensive team, and in just one season they increased their average points per game by 7.1 points per game, with the Kings scoring 100.2 points per game.

The most memorable was the controversial Western Conference Finals in 2002.

The King with an elegant style of play, gorgeous offense, and an integration of offense and defense, Adelman's Princeton was born like a summer flower, and the years of Sacramento were burning with passion, and after losing to the Lakers in the Western Conference finals, there were many fans who said that they died from the invisible hand behind their backs.

You know, the Los Angeles Lakers at that time were in full swing, as if no one could stop them from defending the championship, but the Kings blocked them as if they didn't believe in evil, and even pushed them to the edge of the cliff for a while.

Although the final result was not satisfactory, it fully demonstrated Adelman's deep knowledge of the Princeton system.

Now, at the Houston Rockets, Adelman is using this tactic here as well.

But looking at the Rockets' all-time record, it's clear that this is a very bad attempt.

The core of the rocket is Yao Ming, and the biggest problem in the Princeton system is from Yao Ming.

Princeton doesn't mean the Suns running fast, playing fast, and retreating fast, but the ball moving quickly. It is not only necessary for the players to keep up with the rhythm of the ball transfer, but also for the players to have a wide field of vision to divide the ball after receiving the ball.

Yao Ming struggled to adapt to Princeton.

His speed and ability to catch and pass the ball are not up to Princeton's requirements, and making axes at the free throw line does not mean standing on the free throw line and waiting for the ball, but quickly splitting the ball and moving the ball after receiving it.

After entering the NBA, Yao Ming has been trained to blindly go to the basket, and his offensive range is difficult to appear outside the three-second zone, so even when Yao Ming stands at the free throw line, he may not know how to run next, because he is a center whose task is to score rather than a power forward, let alone a center.

The Rockets don't have the same staffing as the Kings, and Adelman has forced the Princeton system to be used here, and although it can be effective in a short period of time, Yao Ming will be very prone to mistakes in the face of stronger opponents.

Saying that, Yao Ming, who was taking the ball in the arc of the middle circle, had an obvious pause, and Lin Mu's sixth attribute was once again capped, [Kirilenko Tiger Mouth], and slapped it at the old captain of Huaxia.

The basketball landed, Yao Ming's height was difficult to compete with Lin Mu for the floor ball, Lin Mu took the ball and advanced wildly, and the court madman Artest was already standing in front of Lin Mu.

Facing the former best defensive player and helping Harden get through the second line of Ren Du, Lin Mu naturally has a few more eyes.

Atai's defensive position is very good, and if Lin Mu forces a layup, he is likely to be fouled by the opponent.

Accurate judgment, as well as the deduction of points after mistakes, made Lin Mu vigilant at all times.

did not blindly impact the basket, Lin Mu passed the ball at an oblique angle in Atai's surprised gaze, Durant took off after receiving the ball, and the dunk ended!

Yao Ming was clearly hesitant after the mistake, and Adelman adopted Plan B, letting Maddie hold the ball and the rest of the people cross-run.

There is no excessive sticking to the ball, and every player on the court has a very high basketball IQ, but as long as you pass by Yao Ming, there will always be a slight pause.

It's a rejection of the system, and although Yao Ming has tried his best to fit in, the difference in playing style makes him very uncomfortable.

No matter what, just take the ball and do it!

Yao Ming turned around and hooked his hand, Collison spread his hands, I resisted it underneath, but the top was completely pulled!

"It's okay, the offensive fluidity of the opposite side has been broken by us!"

The ultimate goal of the Princeton system is difficult to achieve, and if Adelman insists on using such tactics, the Thunder have a good chance to win this game!

Young people, dare to make a move!

Scott doesn't have any specific tactical system, he throws boldly when he has the opportunity, boldly attacks when he has the strength, runs and runs, passes the ball or something, and finally solves the battle is not the player himself?

Lin Mu fully implemented Scott's coaching philosophy, and showed no mercy to his subordinates after switching to Yao Ming, and sacrificed his long-cherished three-point shooting skills!

"Brush!"

In the case of no one guarding, Lin Mu hit with one blow!

"Young, Lin Mu shot three points in front of Yao Ming, this is really Zhu Bajie on the sedan chair, see you for the first time."

Huaxia TV, Director Zhang smiled.

In the Chinese derby, today's commentary seat was full of laughter.

No matter who wins, it is a victory for the Chinese players.

As the core player of two teams, being able to lead a team of this level in the NBA to a fierce collision is a fantasy story that is extremely fascinating.

Xiao Heizi still has the kung fu to quarrel here?

Damn, drown them with saliva for Lao Tzu!

The offensive battle kicked off, and the Thunder and Rockets were full of firepower while maintaining defensive intensity, and in the last three minutes of the game, the Thunder still trailed the Rockets by three points.

"Pause!"

Adelman glanced at the panting Yao Ming, in today's game, Yao Ming's use time was already a little overdue.

Twenty-eight minutes or so!

Under Yao's fierce efforts, Adelman agreed to Yao's request.

Like the Spurs' Popovich, Adelman gave Yao Ming plenty of rest in the regular season, and he could even take a rotation off against weak teams and back-to-back games.

After getting the reinforcement, the Rockets' system is becoming more and more complete, and Adelman, as a famous coach, can still lead the Rockets to a good result in the cruel West for two consecutive years even without an All-Star, not to mention that Maddie is still on the team.

Not only Yao Ming is like this, but Maddie's playing time is also compressed to about thirty minutes.

The team doctor needs to be checked every day, and the two Rockets All-Stars are trying to protect their health as much as possible.

However, in today's game, Yao Ming has played 32 minutes, and there are still three minutes left to finish, which is the game where Yao Ming has played the most minutes in recent times.

"Need a break?"

Adelman asked.

"No, you don't!"

Facing Lin Mu, Yao Ming didn't want to lose to his little brother.

Adelman nodded, and in the process of coaching Yao Ming, the coach with brilliant results clearly felt the change in Yao Ming's mentality.

At the beginning, Yao Ming didn't fight, didn't grab or make trouble, just quietly did the tasks he assigned.

Until now...

Yao Ming tried his best to win more team rights for himself while ensuring the team's record, and the matter once reached the desk of the Rocket owner.

In the face of Yao Ming, who insisted, the Rocket boss naturally knew who to lean into.

This is my cash cow, Adelman, do you want to cut off Lao Tzu's wealth?

Eventually, after negotiations between the three parties, Adelman agreed to some of Yao's privileges within the team.

thought that the contradiction would gradually intensify, but Yao Ming never made any outrageous moves except to protect himself, which made Adelman breathe a sigh of relief.

The head coach is most afraid of having a conflict with the star of the house, as long as the grievances of both sides can be resolved, everything is worth it.

What's more, Yao Ming's health is also a strong guarantee for the Rockets to go further, and after figuring it out, Adelman no longer struggles with his previous requirements for Yao Ming's playing time, since you want to rest, since you want to protect your body, then just do it!

The playoffs are the battlefield of our struggle!

The timeout is over, and the Thunder launches a fast attack!

Yao Ming's footsteps slowed down significantly, Lin Mu killed the inside line directly, and hit Yao Ming's board.

Looking back, Maddie fired on the outside, and the iconic dry pull was achieved overnight!

Lowry was unrelenting in the face of his former old club, and swiped the net with a three-point shot!

Artest went on a rampage and slashed two points on Durant.

The young Grim Reaper pulled out his scythe, and outside the same three-point line, a heavy artillery shot brought the war between the two sides to a white-hot stage!

"Defend! Strangled everyone on the other side for me! ”

Scott roared loudly, Adelman made the final nervous deployment, and with thirty seconds left in the game, the Thunder completed the comeback and led by 1 point!

Battier stepped up, and after Yao Ming and Maddie attracted enough defenders, the cold-blooded nature of the outside shooter, Sean Battier calmly threw a lethal three-pointer at the moment when the 24 seconds were about to end!

The scene is boiling, the Thunder has no chance to pause, everything is in the hands of the players themselves!

With 7 seconds left, this familiar number is the moment when a miracle is born!

Lin Mu quickly dribbled to the front court, and the tacit understanding of the Thunder Twin Stars was vividly reflected at the last moment.

"Block, I'll do this ball!"

With a look, Durant understood Lin Mu's thoughts.

Standing in front of Maddie and Yao Ming, Durant's thin body blocked the dual-core superstar of the Rockets!

Beyond Durant's blocking, under the desperate defense of Maddie and Yao Ming, rubbing the fingertips of the two, Lin Mu completed the final shot!

The basketball lifts off like a rocket into the air at the Toyota Arena, accompanied by the sound of the basketball falling into the net bag.

Lin Mu completed his first lore after entering the NBA!
