155: The defense is over, the offense continues to be tortured!
Shay opened with a bloody dream and fought back, and although it was only a two-point lead, it still sounded the alarm for the Rockets.
Shay proved with practical actions that he can defend against the first SG in the west and the first C in the west!
Even if Da Meng will not be defended today, he will only score 9 points in a single game, but he will definitely not play too easily.
The game continues, and the Lakers' defensive strategy is now very clear.
The others were responsible for blocking the Rockets' outside shooters, while Shay and Campbell were in the three big shots on the inside.
Otis. Thorpe's shooting ability is average, which gives Shay the capital to free the pinch.
Of course, Thorpe is not a good stubble.
In fact, he has been the number two man on the Rockets.
In the last round of the Rockets playing supersonic, it happened that Olajuwon was pinched, and Thorpe took the opportunity to score 28 points on 12-of-14 shooting.
Although Thorpe's offensive means are not rich enough, thanks to his excellent sports cells, he has the ability to eat cakes.
Tomjanovic is not nervous, he believes that even if Shay is strong in defense, it will be difficult to contain Da Meng and Thorpe at the same time!
Twin towers have always been the policy of Team Rocket, and Team Rocket's strongest combination is this combination of two towers.
Therefore, this pair of twin towers will never be easily contained.
This time the Rockets attacked, Olajuwon had just received the basketball in the low post, and Shay hit it.
Don't give Big Dream any room to make any moves.
Olajuwon was very calm in the face of the bag, and with his back to the basket, he used a position similar to a hook hand to pass the ball to Thorpe, who had already started to run to the basket!
Olajuwon's playmaking ability was on full display at this time, and passing the ball in the bag was very easy for Da Meng.
Thorpe received the ball and took two steps straight to the basket, raised the basketball with one hand, and jumped high to dunk.
It's almost a sure goal and there won't be any suspense.
But just as Thorpe smashed the ball into the basket hard, he saw Shay jump into the air at a very fast speed, reach out and slap hard, and was stunned to block the basketball in time!
Shay and Thorpe had hard steel in front of them, and in the end, it was Shay who stubbornly blocked Thorpe's inevitable dunk and completed an extremely tough block!
Marvin. Albert and the Los Angeles fans yelled almost at the same time:
Thorpe dunked head-on, and Shay had already sent two blocks in a row after the opening!
Shay's judgment of the timing of the block may not be top-notch, but relying on his physical condition and athleticism, Shay is still an excellent hot pot maniac!
Thorpe thinks he can dunk easily, but Shay is like a ghost who will pop up next to you at any moment!
Defend Thorpe and Big Dream at the same time, and contain the Rocket Twin Towers at the same time.
Shay, he did it! ”
Thorpe looked at the fan basketball with a look of disbelief.
That guy, how could he rush back from Da Meng's side so quickly?
Moreover, he also covered his own dunk from the front!
This.
Although Shay is a point guard, after swinging to the No. 4 position, his size is not inferior to Thorpe.
Thorpe is 2.06m, and Shay is also 2.06m.
Thorpe has an arm span of 2.17 meters, and Shay has an arm span of 2.28 meters!
So, it's not hard for Shay to block Thorpe's dunk head-on!
Shay's 1v2 ability is extremely strong, and for Shay, 1v2 is never a question of ability, but a matter of moral bottom line.
After all, there is already Connery, and it is somewhat not good to find someone to participate in that kind of private activity~
And on the basketball court, when there is no moral problem with 1v2, Shay directly has a showdown and directly lets himself go!
After doing the left and then the right, happy like a fairy!
Shay is a frontal bloodied attack, leaving the Rockets' proud twin towers stretched thin on the offensive end.
Curry Sr. received the basketball that was fanned, then turned around and immediately counterattacked.
The Lakers' defensive strategy may change, but the offensive strategy of quick counter-attacks will never change.
Barkley cut in from the right side without the ball, cut to the basket, and raised his hand at Curry for the ball.
It was indeed a good opportunity, but Horry had been following Barkley, which made Curry a little afraid to pass for fear of being broken.
When it comes to Horry, many people think that he is a player with a disability and a strong will to survive by his skills and basketball IQ.
But in fact, Horry was quite athletic early in his career, and he was an undoubted skinny tall runner and jumper.
It's just because of the weight gain during the Lakers period, plus the age of the Spurs, and these two periods are exactly the periods when most people watch Horry play.
So he gives people the illusion that he can't do athleticism
In fact, with Horry's athleticism, it was a no-brainer for him to keep up with Flying Pig.
Seeing that the old Curry did not pass, Barkley stopped in disappointment and stood under the basket and shook his head.
Curry gave the ball to Shay, who had just crossed the halfway line, to try to get him back into the offense.
But after Shay got the basketball, he threw the ball directly to the basket!
Everyone at the scene was stunned, what is Shay doing?
Throwing threes?
Or pass the ball to Ross Barkley under the basket?
It's impossible, there's still a Horry standing in front of Barkley, and Shay's pass is too casual.
That's right, there was indeed a Horry standing in front of Barkley.
But so what? In Shay's opinion, this is not in the way at all.
Barkley bent his knees and then bounced himself into the air with great power.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Barkley was at its top!
The basketball passed Horry, who made a jump steal, and was safely picked up by Barkley, and then Flying Pig's arm rounded and smashed the ball into the basket, and a basket jumped on the spot!
A fat man who is less than 2 meters tall jumps on the spot when someone is defending in front of him.
This kind of cooperation is estimated to be able to play between Shay and Barkley.
One dares to pass on, and the other really dares to enter!
Barkley and Shay's cooperation is still so simple and rough, after the goal, Barkley also pointed at Shay and smiled.
It's still Shay's pass to the taste!
Barkley now plays the ball and has a sense of shame.
He obviously didn't want to be pressed under Shay to be an old 1.5, but he was really made so comfortable by Shay~
Shay, you dead ghost, let the old pig and I want to die!
The Rockets were clearly suppressed, and Olajuwon knew they couldn't go on like this.
The Lakers are too good on the counter, and Shay has the ability to convert every miss you make into a score.
No, Shay converted blocks into goals in the first two rounds.
Therefore, the Lakers must be efficient.
Olajuwon then took a different approach, and instead of continuing to sit in the low post, he moved to the high post to Kenny. Smith set up cover.
In this way, Shay will not be able to flank Big Dream.
There's no way he's going to just leave Thorpe in the low post.
It paid off, as Dream received a pass from Kenny from mid-range and immediately shot a shot.
The basketball is hollow into the net, Olajuwon is simply 3000, and he has all the weapons on his body.
This is the big dream, and it is impossible to lock him up completely.
But forcing Big Dream to go outside the three-second zone is actually a successful defense!
Olajuwon's shooting is very accurate among big men, but it hasn't reached the point where Jordan can shoot you to death with a pure mid-range shot.
In this era of fierce confrontation and defensive shooting, there is only Jordan who can shoot dead people purely by mid-range shooting.
Shay wants to see how long Olajuwon can float in the middle distance!
In the games that followed, the Lakers always pressed the Rockets.
Shay and Barkley went crazy to the basket with frightening efficiency.
Olajuwon's mid-range shot is also accurate, but ultimately not as efficient as in the three-second zone.
That's it, after the first quarter, the Lakers led by 7 points 31-24!
In the second quarter, the efficiency of Big Dream's mid-range shooting began to decrease.
After all, Campbell is not a decoration, and his defense is also very tight.
When Big Dream was playing iron, Thorpe didn't grab offensive rebounds under the basket.
Shay has always been stuck in Thorpe, and he is not inferior to Thorpe's pure inside line in terms of strength.
Shay plays the number four position, which is simply plug and play.
Shay and Barkley took turns eating boards, and they had a lot of fun.
The more Dameng fights, the more aggrieved he becomes, damn, I've been floating in the middle distance so much, what's the difference between me and the soft admiral!
Admiral:???
I didn't expect you to be such a dream!
So in the second half of the second quarter, seeing that the score difference had been stretched to 11 points, Da Meng still decided to return to the restricted area!
This time, he leaned on Campbell with his back on the edge of the box and raised his hand again for the ball.
The moment he got the basketball, Olajuwon immediately turned his back and passed Campbell to the basket.
Shay immediately stepped in to protect the basket, while Campbell chased after him.
After hitting the basket, Big Dream lifted the basketball and seemed to be ready to attack the frame.
Shay and Campbell both leaped to the top in an attempt to prevent Olajuwon from scoring.
Who knew that after Shay and Campbell had already jumped into the air, Da Meng withdrew the basketball, and then flexibly turned around to avoid the two of them and hooked his hand!
Olajuwon showed off his gorgeous dream dance moves!
Da Meng laughed, as long as this defense can be broken once, it can be broken a second time!
As long as you can narrow the margin to single digits, the game won't collapse!
Big Dream hooked the ball out and was secretly proud.
Shay and Campbell's flank is not indestructible.
As a result, as soon as the basketball was shot, Da Meng saw the familiar pig face.
Barkley didn't know when he helped defend the basket again, and used his perverted speed to jump to the same height as Olajuwon in an instant.
Olajuwon was shocked, there was any door in the Lakers' restricted area!
Anyone can teleport in!
Shay and Campbell's bag is indeed not indestructible, but what if you add a flying pig?
At this point, it was impossible for Olajuwon to pass the ball, and he had already hooked the ball out.
Big Dream can only pray, praying that this ball will not be sealed by the flying pig.
The hook hand is one of the most difficult ways to get blocked, so Da Meng still has the confidence to score.
The hook hand is indeed the most difficult to block, but in the face of Barkley's bullet speed, all shots are equal!
After the flying pig bounced into the air, he swung his arm hard, and he was stunned to cover the basketball that had just been hooked by Olajuwon!
In the Lakers' restricted area, Olajuwon also has to be stunned!
Olajuwon was desperate, and finally shook off Campbell and Shay, and came with a flying pig.
Even if two people go together, now there are three people together, which is too much!
By the time Olajuwon turned around, Shay had already rushed out and grabbed the basketball that was fanned by Barkley.
That's what Olajuwon said, the scary thing about the Lakers' counterattack.
But if you miss or make a mistake, it's giving the Lakers points.
Sure enough, Shay directly ignored Maxwell and Kenny who were standing in front of him. Smith, he knocked two people away in a row like playing football, and then smashed inside to score!
Olajuwon not only failed to narrow the gap to single digits, but also allowed the Lakers to stretch the gap to 13 points!
Before halftime, the Rockets were already trailing by 13 points.
The Lakers' defense today is undoubtedly quite successful!
Barkley had just taken the initiative to help defend the big dream, which even Carlisle didn't expect.
It can only be said that Barkley was happy on the offensive end today.
As long as the offense is playing well, Barkley is in the mood to defend well.
Now, the Lakers have played the kind of defensive effect that the Bulls have.
The Lakers don't have a top center, but they put the top center in a tough battle.
Because Shay and Barkley are starting to take on defensive duties outside of their position!
What's more, the Lakers' center is always better than the Bulls.
This makes the Lakers' interior defense even stronger!
Olajuwon was completely limited in the three-second zone today, and most of his scoring today came from mid-range shooting.
Following Drexler, the No. 1 SG in the West, the Lakers really limited the No. 1 C in the West!
Big Dream will not escape the fate of being tortured in the end!
Tomjanovic had to take a timeout and trailed by 13 points before halftime, which was exactly what he expected.
Shay's deterrence on the inside line is much stronger than Tomjanovich imagined!
At the same time, Tomjanovich is also very happy, glad that he persuaded the big dream last summer.
If Big Dream and Shay really join forces, not to mention offense, just defense, they can make all the teams in the league have nothing to play!
After the timeout, Olajuwon was still resolutely sitting in the low post.
He first made a flip jumper, then dribbled and squeezed Shay straight to the basket.
Tomjanovic's strategy is to let Big Dream use his feet to shake out the space.
Seeing Big Dream break through Shay and Campbell, Flying Pig drops Horry again and swoops down to the basket.
Olajuwon jumped up and prepared to attack the frame, but in the face of Fliggy's supplemental defense, as a seven-foot big C, Big Dream flexibly made a move in the air to change from top to pass!
So it's no exaggeration to say that Big Dream is the most comprehensive interior in NBA history.
Ewing can't even pass the ball while standing, and for Da Meng, it's easy to turn it into a pass.
Some people are obviously defenders, but they play center strikers because they are tall.
After attracting the trio to wrap up, Big Dream successfully found Horry, and Horry also made a decisive three-point shot as usual.
But the moment he made a move, he was rushed up by Shay and slapped in the face!
Shay had just run towards Horry as soon as Olajuwon passed the ball.
Although he couldn't complete that earth-shattering volleyball flying again, with his perverted height, reach, and speed, Shay still interfered with Horry in time.
With this tight defense, even Horry struggled to throw the ball in.
Basketball hits iron, Shay's terrifying defensive range makes the Rockets' offense fail again!
The big dream can't satisfy Shay anymore, and Shay has begun to steal food on the outside!
The ball hit the rim and bounced right towards Shay, who also grabbed the rebound and immediately pushed forward.
The Rockets rushed back to defense, and they really didn't want to fall behind by 15 points before halftime.
Shay used a back to get past Maxwell, who was about to stop him, and went full speed.
By this time, Olajuwon had already run back to his own half.
He knew he couldn't crouch under the basket and sit still, he had to force Shay to stop or slow down.
So, Olajuwon stopped outside the three-point line and turned around, he wanted to defend Shay himself!
Houston fans and Los Angeles fans were excited, and everyone thought it was going to be a good matchup.
Shay VS Olajuwon, one-on-one, must be very exciting!
But goose, Shay didn't slow down at all.
He ran up to Olajuwon and made a move to the left.
But in the next second, Shay knocked the ball to the right, and the basketball went directly through Olajuwon's crotch, and Shay swept past Olajuwon, completing a change of direction through the crotch!
DPOY this season, being wantonly teased by Shay!
Marvin. Albert immediately stood up:
"Shay just knocked out the best defensive player of the season with a crotch, oh my god, who else is stopping Shay from breaking through?
Thorpe made a layup to protect the rim, but Shay scored comfortably with a throw.
15 points, 15 points!
Before the end of the half, the Lakers led the Rockets by 15 points!
Oh my God, Shay not only contained the No. 1 center in the West, but also humiliated him on the offensive end!
On both offensive and defensive ends, Shay embarrassed Olajuwon!
Look at Olajuwon's expression, he is helpless, he is helpless! ”
Big Dream is really uncomfortable, I thought that defending myself would make Shay at least slow down.
But it was Shay who passed it in the most shameful way.
Olajuwon fully experienced the pain of being tortured by Shay today!
Unstoppable, the entire Lakers team is as unstoppable as Shay after rushing up to speed.
Olajuwon hung his head in frustration and let out a long sigh.
From these details, it is not difficult to see that the dream of perseverance has also been tortured to the point of collapse!
The strongest outside line and the strongest inside line in the West are all trampled under Shay's feet at the moment!
And Shay now unifies the entire West, it's only a matter of time.
Today's 10,000-word update is present! Kneel and beg for a monthly pass!
