You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 446 Dare Next Time
The Rockets under Adelman have a big problem, that is, they can't reproduce the Princeton system of the king's era.

Yao Huang's passing, although there are two amazing no-look passes in his career highlights, but generally speaking, his coping ability is not top-notch.It belongs to the type that can pass the ball to attract the defense.

If he encounters a high-level double-team, his turnover rate will skyrocket.

In the 3rd minute against the Lakers, Houston hoped to be guided by the league's tallest tower.

The ball was given to Yao Huang, and the shorting of McGrady had achieved results before, and Wei Xia, who had gained confidence, boldly narrowed the defensive range.

This time, Yao Huang couldn't get the ball into McGrady's hands in time.

Compared with his tree trunk-like powerful lower body strength, his upper body strength obviously lagged behind.

Wei Xia's defense arrived quickly, exerted strength, and hit Yao Huang's ball to the ground, grabbing the next offensive opportunity.

At present, 4 minutes have passed, and the Rockets still don't know how the scoring feeling in the 2007-08 season is different from before.

"One of the big questions of the night - who's going to get the first goal for Houston?"

Spero Dedes asked loudly.

Michael Thompson cooperated: "I think Tracy has a great chance. Although his current shooting touch is not good, as long as Wish continues to open him, he will definitely make a shot."

Old Thompson's words were curses.

Weixia's defense is against McGrady, and the offense is the same.

He fell into the low post and saw his position clearly. Kobe, who was supposed to be the axis of the low post, spontaneously pulled to the bottom corner, making Wei Xia the tactical core of this round.

Fisher sent the pass with interest.

"Even if Kobe is leaving, you don't have to be so obvious, right?" McGrady thought that Wei Xia was preparing for Kobe to take over the offensive core position after leaving.

When the basketball was passed to Wei Xia, his opponent showed a dismissive attitude.They seem to trust McGrady's defense very much, but the current McGrady is much worse than the Raptors who became the team's shot-blocking leader, or the Magic's lazy scoring leader.

The Rockets' confidence comes from one place.

McGrady's size is obviously larger than that of Wei Xia.

Just for this, they dared to let McGrady defend against Wei Xia's low-post offense alone, but Wei Xia has never been good at low-post offense, let him play McGrady, just the physical barrier is very sad——

——It is not the case.

Wei Xia picked up the ball and used his left hand as the focus, and slammed towards McGrady's body with his left shoulder.

Those at the beginning of the century grew up watching Jordan's games.As a result, the swingmen who have grown into flying men, only Kobe has inherited Jordan's godhead-he is as aggressive on the defensive end as on the offensive end.McGrady, under Wei Xia's collision, surrendered the title of Jordan's successor-Jordan's successor with a rotten defense seems to be unworthy of the name.

Wei Xia split the right and hit a turn, which made McGrady's defense back.

However, McGrady never thought about why Wei Xia put in all his strength as soon as he came up.

Phil Jackson took a closer look, and he found that after Wei Xia hit with all his strength, his feet had supported his body along the axis, spinning 360 degrees, throwing McGrady half his body away, picking the basket close to the basket, and scoring.

"Thank you for such a loose defense, which makes me more confident to take over from Kobe." Wei Xia said in a heart-wrenching, gentle and considerate manner, with a kind face, but why did McGrady have the urge to throw the ball in his face-well, it's not like he didn't do it before.

Mai Di suffered from Wei Xia's loss, and was about to let off his domineering aura, to let the other party know that there are some people who can be eaten, and some people can't be messed with.

As soon as he had the idea of ​​counterattack, Alston, the streetball king, pinned his hope of scoring on Yao Huang.

Obviously, everyone knows who is the most stable point.

Yao Huang, who was worried about double-teaming by the Lakers, pushed Bynum away the moment he got the ball.

Bynum's experience made him lose in the confrontation with Yao Huang.

Even if he lost his position, he still refused to let go, trying to interfere with Yao Huang's attack in vain.

Yao Huang scored based on his steady footing and was given an additional penalty.

"Sure enough, Yao broke Houston's scoring drought."

The subsequent free throws were also made smoothly.

3 is better than 6
Almost 4 minutes passed before the Rockets scored their first point.

The poor offensive state shows that the pace of the game will go in a direction that new fans don't like.

Sure enough, the Rockets took out the defensive system left by Jeff Van Gundy and pressed the Lakers intensively.

Fisher has experience and knows to control the rhythm, and then see if there is a chance to play tactics. If there is, he will play normally. If not, he will give the ball to a big killer that can ignore defense.

The Rockets' defense killed the Lakers' tactics.

Fisher handed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe, who had no chance to show himself since the beginning, continued his sluggish offense.

Or maybe Battier's eye-closing tactic worked.

His shot flies toward the basket.

With a bang, it fell to an area that neither Yao Huang nor Bynum could control.

Hayes had already firmly held his position and was about to catch the ball. Suddenly, there was a change around him. Some teammates asked him to be careful of the... "Wish" behind him?If he heard correctly, it was Wish.

Well, Wish?Is he an insider?

As the most mediocre insider in the league, as the starting insider with the lowest talent in the league, and as the first breakthrough in the Rockets' starting lineup, Hayes has always known to be cautious.

However, his modesty is aimed at the inside.

What if it's an outside line to grab a rebound?

His attitude was nothing more than a cold snort like other prepared insiders, and then with the attitude of "I dare to do this", he was determined to kill Wei Xia.

As a result, for some reason, Wei Xia chose to jump first. His jumping ability was unimaginable by Hayes, and he hit the front from the rear, and he hit Hayes.

Judging from his actions, he is obviously suspected of fouling, but they are in the Staples Center-if Kobe is traded later as everyone thinks, Wei Xia is the top card here.

The on-duty referee is not racially discriminatory. Why should they target the future Lakers head card for a small mistake?
Hayes didn't expect Wesha to use Rodman-style skills to point the rebound to his advantage.

Before Hayes could react, Wei Xia took off for the second time and grabbed the rebound.

Just as the Rockets' defense was about to change, Wei Xia passed the ball to Bynum at close range.

Yao Huang's reaction was extremely fast, but Bynum was too close to the basket, so he reached out to put the basket and scored easily.

8 is better than 3
"Thanks to your indulgence, I was able to take this rebound."

Weixia decided to give McGrady the credit for his offensive rebound.

But McGrady himself was unwilling, and his dead fish eyes slowly opened after being stimulated by Wei Xia.

Even Yao Huang, who has worked with him for several years, was secretly amazed when he saw this - this little red guy has really big eyes!Why can't I open it normally?
The Rockets' offense continued to revolve around Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

When Princeton wasn't working, Adelman was no different than his predecessor.The Rockets still have to use the defensive system left by their predecessors as the cornerstone, and use the personal abilities of the stars to create fighters.

Any team will rely on the performance of its stars, but if it wants to make a difference, the performance of role players is also essential.

It's a pity that under the tyranny of the Rockets' notorious stingy boss, only three of their lineup are threatening and worth studying.

Yao Mai, and Battier.

Today, McGrady feels as cold as snow on the outside, Battier has been warmly cared for by Kobe, who has been on the defensive line for years, and Yao Huang is backlashed by McGrady's inaccurate shots.Because McGrady didn't move, every time Wei Xia saw Yao Ming take the ball, he was as excited as a male dog who smelled a bitch in heat, and every time he attacked from Yao Ming's lower three lanes.

Thinking about how the male dog invaded the female dog, one can naturally imagine Wei Xia's series of operations on Yao Huang.

On the field, no matter how good a personal relationship is, the friendship between Wei Xia and Yao Yao was torn apart like pieces of paper under the strong defense.

Yao Huang fumbled the ball.

Houston is still lucky.

The ball rolled to McGrady's feet, and a shocking scene happened.

Seeing McGrady getting the ball, the first reaction was not to quickly return to him and give him the respect he deserved, but to immediately occupy the rebounding position, and he almost regarded McGrady as Ben Simmons.

McGrady held back the anger in his chest, knowing that the three-pointer was not accurate, so he made a long-distance two-pointer with one step.

If players in the small ball era give up open three-pointers and shoot long-distance two-pointers, they will be suspected by the coach of lack of IQ or low IQ. However, eight years before the advent of the small-ball era—I think 2015-16 is the first year of the small-ball era—McGrady gave up the open space, dribbled one step, and shot long-distance two-pointers due to poor three-pointers.

He was praised by the away commentator: "T-Mac is a smart player, not swayed by anger, he made the right choice, and the long-distance two-pointer is definitely more sure than the three-pointer."

The result is also that McGrady made it.

5 is better than 8
His dead fish eyes were wide open, as if with a lot of anger, he wanted the bastard Wei Xia to look directly at him.

However, Wei Xia didn't look him straight in the face. Instead, he said to Kobe, who was inquiring, "Don't stare at me with that scary expression. Even if he is lucky to make a shot this time, I will still let him shoot next time. I 'believe' him!"

Kobe took a deep breath, calmed down, and then gave McGrady a sympathetic look.

His eyes expressed: I tried my best, this guy really doesn't respect you.

Wei Xia redefined the word "believe", and McGrady's bloodshot murderous eyes never left his body from that moment on.

McGrady is no longer at the peak, but Wei Xia has repeatedly stimulated and forced him.Also brought out his best form.

This was Wei Xia's mistake.

Not everyone goes mad when prodded repeatedly, and some turn their anger into power and make the pissed offspring pay.
