Chapter 80: A Contest of Tactics! Bartel is here!
All of a sudden, the Rockets' offense started targeting David Robinson.
For a full five minutes, the Rockets would have forced a basket at every opportunity, or let Da Yao slam David Robinson.
Although the admiral is very strong, he is already thirty-seven years old, and his physical fitness has long become an inevitable problem for him.
Being targeted like this, David Robinson's scoring and rebounding have had a big impact.
The Rockets also took advantage of the situation to catch up with some scores.
After the end of the first half, the difference between the Rockets and the Spurs was only nine points.
It can be said that after Han Ning came back, the role he played on the Rocket team was immediate.
Barkley was on the commentary bench, and the whole person was happy.
"See, no Smith! I'll just say that Team Rocket after Han Ning is definitely different! The victory in today's game belongs to Team Rocket! ”
Barkley's words instantly struck a chord with all the Rockets fans in the audience.
The entire Toyota Center Arena suddenly let out a deafening shout.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
Smith looked at Barkley's smug appearance, and felt a little unhappy, and snorted coldly and said, "Barkley, don't get carried away too early. The Spurs also have Popovich! In terms of ability and experience, Popovich is one of the top coaches in the league. The second half must have been able to change the situation. The difference will be re-opened. ”
The two took advantage of the situation and began to quarrel, and neither of them obeyed the other.
Time passed quickly.
When it was the turn of the third quarter to start the game, Han Ning found that the Spurs had not made much change.
Just let David Robinson and Tim Duncan switch places.
Put David Robinson at power forward to defend Dazhi, and let Tim Duncan play at center.
This kind of transposition can be said to be very targeted.
Just don't give the Rockets a chance to target David Robinson.
Seeing this, Han Ning's heart suddenly became happy.
Popovich, Popovich, if you let the two of you change places, I can't help it?!
If you can't target David Robinson, then I'll target Tim Duncan!
Although David Robinson is old and not physically fit, he is very experienced, and it is not easy to make his fouls.
But Tim Duncan is different!
The current stone Buddha is not the future stone Buddha who was punished by a technical foul because of a smile.
It has not yet reached maturity.
It's much easier to get a foul on Tim Duncan than it is for a foul on David Robinson!
The current key player for the Spurs is Tim Duncan.
If you can get Tim Duncan off the court, wouldn't it be much more effective than taking David Robinson?!
Besides, David Robinson will also be physically drained when he goes to defend Dazhi.
Dazhi's main play now is off-ball running.
David Robinson has to run with Dazhi. Isn't this more physically demanding than staying inside?!
Seeing this, Han Ning hurriedly pulled Francis to the sidelines and gave a few instructions.
Team Rocket offense.
Francis came to the front court again with the ball, dribbled with his left hand, and then raised his right hand and made a gesture.
The Rockets' players saw the gesture and started running.
Dazhi took David Robinson from the three-point line to the basket.
Da Yao took advantage of the situation and ran over and made a pick-and-roll to stop David Robinson.
Seeing this, Francis passed the ball straight over.
After reaching out to receive the pass, facing Tim Duncan's defense, Dazhi was not afraid and started directly to dunk.
Tim Duncan stepped up to defend Dazhi.
Facing Tim Duncan's defense, Dazhi did not choose to be brutal, but passed the basketball behind him. Then dodged Tim Duncan.
After receiving Dazhi's pass from behind him, Da Yao rushed to the basket again.
As soon as Tim Duncan landed, he found that Da Yao had rushed in front of him.
In a panic, he jumped up again, trying to defend.
However, Da Yao was full of momentum, directly against Tim Duncan, and smashed the ball to the basket.
“Ba
g! ”
"Beep!"
A dunk is scored, the referee blows the whistle, and a free throw is added!
The effect of this wave of attacks was not even expected by Han Ning on the sidelines.
"Bang!"
"Huh!"
Da Yao easily scored the penalty penalty.
The Rockets are just six points behind the Spurs.
Seeing this, Popovich called a timeout.
If the Rockets continue to play like this, it will really be difficult to say whether they will win or lose today.
Popovich has to make a little change!
Han Ning stood on the sidelines, and after glancing at Tim Duncan, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"We'll still play inside for a while. Francis, Da Yao. The two of you mainly play Tim Duncan at this point. Aim for a few more fouls. ”
"Also, the appropriate can say some trash talk to stimulate him. It's best to get him out of the game with 6 fouls. ”
The Rockets players present were all stunned when they heard Han Ning's words.
This is the first time they have heard Han Ning say that they want to use trash talk on the field to affect the mentality of their opponents.
And this opponent is still Tim Duncan.
Although puzzled, the Rockets players nodded in response.
Trash-talk, foul-making, etc., are all allowed within the rules.
It can be said that it is a very common method in the alliance.
So the Rockets players don't have much resistance to that.
If this means can help them win, then there is nothing wrong with that.
On the other side, Popovich looked at David Robinson, who had begun to gasp, and felt a little helpless.
David Robinson is indeed too old.
After playing on the field for so long and being targeted by the opposing players for so long, he was slipped by Dazhi several times, and his physical strength was basically about to bottom out.
Even if you can still play, you can play a very limited role on the field.
It's better to replace him.
After pondering for a while, Popovich spoke: "Next, David, you take a break from the court." Bartel, you play to defend Da Yao. Your job is to defend, and the offense is left to Duncan. ”
Bartel, who was sitting at the end of the bench, stood up with some excitement on his face when he heard this.
"Beep!"
At the end of the timeout, both managers arranged new tactics.
Now is the time to verify whose tactics are better.
It's just that at this time, in the Huaxia broadcast room, Zhang Weiping and Su Dong were both extremely excited.
"Bartel is on the field! Bartel is on the field! As the second player in the NBA for Huaxia, he finally played on the Spurs! This game is going to be a Chinese derby! Su Dong shouted excitedly.
Zhang Weiping also nodded on the side and said: "When Bartel plays, he should be in the opposite position with Da Yao." This is a Chinese derby in the true sense of the word! This game is getting more and more interesting! ”
Han Ning, who was on the sidelines, looked at Popovich in surprise when he saw Barteer on the court.
He didn't expect Popovich to be so decisive.
When it was discovered that David Robinson lacked physical strength, he was directly replaced.
Bartel's coming on the court is not a good thing for the Rockets.
After all, although Bartel's scoring ability is not good, his defensive ability is still very strong.
Using him to defend Da Yao can indeed give the Spurs a great improvement on the inside.
In this way, the tactical arrangements made by Han Ning before may not be effective.
