NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 235 Mileage sad?Tough strangulation! !
"Dudududu!"

Rockets coach Tomjanovich called a timeout.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

The Rockets must work hard to face the Lakers. Tomjanovich, as the head coach of the Rockets, is too transparent.

The Lakers' lineup is too extreme, the outside line is not enough to see, and the inside line can play offense, so Tomjanovich's arrangement is to focus on the defense on the outside players and cut off the passing routes inside and outside the line.

Defense, defense!
That's what Tomjanovich asks of everyone, without even mentioning offense.

Pause back.

Rockets offense.

"Number 3!"

Drexler took over the ball-handling role and called for a low post.

Barkley and Olajuwon understood and alternated pick-and-rolls in front of the penalty area.

Olajuwon was firmly in the position, and Drexler also easily tossed the ball high to Olajuwon in the penalty area under Kobe's defense.

Fliggy Barkley tried his best to entangle with Lin Hong in the paint area and fight to the death!
The big dream Olajuwon is a pillar of the sky!
Catch the ball and single out Big Ben!
The left foot stuck in place, and instantly twisted the waist and turned around!
The 33-year-old Dameng's back turn is still so silky!

Without any extra movement, after resisting Daben with his shoulders, he instantly entered the inside line.

Before Lin Hong's double team was formed, he dunked with both hands!

"The perfect combination of speed and technology, Olajuwon is still the MVP!

Dameng's dreamy dance steps are the most gorgeous under-the-basket steps in the world! "

"The only two championships in Houston history were won by Dameng like this!"

"Ben's defense is far behind Dameng's. When Barkley works together, will the Lakers be able to stop it?"

"Maybe before that time, Olajuwon has completely defeated the Lakers."

Olajuwon's dunk lifted the morale of Rockets fans.

In terms of offense alone, there may not be any team in history with an inside combination that is as good as them!

Although Olajuwon and Barkley are 33 years old and their physical functions have declined significantly, if they are a few years younger, then the two of them will rule the entire league.

In this era where insiders are king, if a double MVP-level insider combination is formed, if both of them are at their peak, then the championship is absolutely guaranteed.

Lakers possession of the ball.

Kobe walked like flying with the ball and began to push the rhythm.

The Rockets retreated in a timely manner this time, and Maloney's footsteps were also very vigorous.

Kobe frowned. Under the interference of the opponent's candy-style defense, the speed of advancement was much slower than expected!
Damn it, it's hard to use up the physical energy of the Houston Big Three by running fast.

Three steps beyond the three-point line, Kobe glanced.

Sure enough, Olajuwon stuck Lin Hong and squatted to the basket.

Barkley, on the other hand, was three steps away from Lin Hong, staring at Kobe covetously.

Countless teams in the league have proved that as long as Lin Ke's connection is successfully cut off, the Lakers will lose most of their skills!
Barkley served as the main defender, Olajuwon waited in the penalty area, and Mario Eli looked at Kobe from time to time.

Kobe took a deep breath.

This game is interesting.

next second.

Kobe broke through!
Beautiful front change!
But Maroni's reaction was equally quick!

Continuously slipping to fill the position, pulling and pulling with the hands, firmly resisting Kobe's breakthrough! "

Barkley stepped forward to double-team!
Kobe didn't want to be attacked, so he made a quick decision, took a step across and used Maroni to block Barkley, pulled up directly, and jumped back! "

It's too late, it's too soon.

Mari Oeli, who had been in ambush for a long time, came out from the side!
The long arm seems to interfere with Kobe's shot!
"boom!"

Hard work!
In the paint area, Olajuwon didn't even make any fake moves, so he hit Big Ben!
Easy layup to complete the finish!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers' offense.

Dreaming around the front and defending alone, at most it is a big delay in assisting defense, and does not double-team Lin Hong.

In addition to this change, the Rockets let Drexler single-handedly defend Kobe.

Maybe Drexler's overall defense isn't particularly strong.

But in terms of steals, he is really strong.

Accurate prediction, coupled with its excellent explosive power, Drexler made a sudden shot, stole the ball, and then started galloping. If the defender can't keep up, then watch Drexler complete a wonderful dunked.

Kobe is the Lakers' best passer.

However, under Drexler's single defense, it is not too difficult for Kobe to pass the ball to Lin Hong comfortably.

In addition, Dameng went around to defend Lin Hong, and Barkley harassed behind him.

This made it more difficult for Lin Hong to catch the ball.

The first quarter was 8 minutes and 21 seconds.

"Hey!"

"Missed!"

"It was intercepted again."

Sun Zhengping and Zhang Lili in the broadcast room of China Central Television said regretfully.

The Lakers made a mistake.

The Rockets made a fast break immediately.

Drexler took the lead.

Facing the old Curry who was mainly defending him, Drexler tanked forward, directly smashed the old Curry, and completed a dunk.

"Olixette!"

Bowen, who was forced to eat, uttered a foul language.

Tonight's glider dreamed of returning to its peak, strengthened its offensive firepower, and kept eating old Curry alone.

The old Curry was not known for his defense, so facing Drexler was very uncomfortable.

Drexler's fast-break consciousness is almost carved into his bones, and he will try his best to form a fast-break.

In the fast break, Drexler's primary goal is the basket. He will run to the basket at high speed. Even if the opponent has someone under the basket, Drexler is not afraid. He will punish the opponent with dunks.

Even big centers are no exception. In Drexler's career, there have been too many dunks at the basket.

The first quarter was 6 minutes and 16 seconds.

The Rockets requested a timeout and replaced Dameng with the 2-meter All-Star Kevin Willis on the field.

After playing, Willis showed what it means to be like a wolf at thirty and like a tiger at forty.

On the defensive end, Willis spared no effort to go around and defend, as if he was glued to Lin Hong.

On the offensive end, Willis screened for Drexler, covered for other teammates, opened up space and transferred Lin Hong out.

In terms of rebounds, although Willis couldn't catch Lin Hong, he was hard-pressed.

With Willis' unremitting efforts, he finally got a foul on Lin Hong.

Willis only played for 4 minutes, but there were large beads of sweat on his forehead, and he kept panting heavily, like the foreplay of a storm.

But soon, Tomjanovich replaced Willis.

Playing again was Lin Hong's college teammate Osella Harrington, 2 meters 06 and 106kg in weight. Although it was far from enough to compete with Lin Hong, this player had a tough style of play and dared to confront.

"The Rockets played so many players tonight."

"Yes."

"It seems that the Rockets are planning to fight Lin Hong."

"Well, it's time to test Lin Hong's physical strength."

Tomjanovich just wanted to consume Lin Hong with wheel battles.

Even though Lin Hong's physical strength is amazing, he does not believe that Lin Hong can play the whole game energetically.

In addition, the wheel battle has a deeper meaning.

He asked the substitute insiders to spare no effort to confront Lin Hong, consume him, and even irritate him, making him make some mistakes on the defensive end as much as possible, hoping that Lin Hong would be troubled by fouls.

Just beat Lin Hong down.

The Lakers' defensive system collapsed directly.

For outside lines.

Glider Drexler and Mario Elli are very disciplined, and the flexibility of switching defenses and assisting defenses is very good.

The Lakers performed well in terms of output and shooting percentage during the regular season and in the first round of the playoffs, but they have a fatal flaw.

Bowen, old Curry, Horry and Bowen do not have a stable ability to shoot with the ball, they are more fixed-point shots.

As long as the defensive rotation is in place, it will be difficult for them to get open opportunities.

And the rocket's defensive rotation is very fast.

As for the catch and shoot after running without the ball, except for the old Curry, everyone else is not very good.

During the regular season, as Lin Hong and Kobe attracted a lot of double-teams, there were a lot of open opportunities, but in the playoffs where every ball is contested, they encountered the Rockets with a complete system.

The shortcomings of the Lakers were completely exposed.

The first quarter is over.

The Lakers 22:28, 6 points behind the Rockets.

This is the worst first quarter since the Lakers playoffs.

"Ginger is still old and spicy."

"Yes."

"It seems that Lin Hong is about to usher in a sad milestone tonight."

"Hey, I just got the MVP trophy and I'm going to lose."

"I feel sorry for Lin Hong for 3 seconds!"

Sun Zhengping couldn't help feeling sorry for Lin Hong during his break.

It seemed that he had already seen the result of Lin Hong's defeat.

no way!
It's not that he doesn't love Lin Hong anymore.

It was Lin Hong who was severely restricted tonight. Dameng and Barkley's defense around the front, combined with Drexler and Mario Eli's pressure on Kobe's passing route.

The Rockets know too well that Kobe will pass the ball to Lin Hong 90.00% of the time.

After all, Kobe's shooting is not stable.

Lin Hong only got 6 shots in the first quarter. Although he hit 4 goals, he had too few chances to touch the ball, which made the team's offense impossible to flow.

at the same time.

The Lakers came off the bench.

Kobe, who likes to mention 4 turnovers in the first quarter, looked gloomy and lonely.

The team fell behind and was beaten by the Big Three of the Rockets, which made the whole team lose the laughter of the past.

Even the Lakers veteran Scott didn't dare to say much.

"Little brother, give me a smile."

Lin Hong teased Kobe.

"Pfft!"

After hearing Lin Hong's words, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Kobe also showed a smile that was uglier than Big Ben.

"Guys, it's just the beginning of the game. Let's kick their asses together."

Lin Hong simply said a few words of encouragement to the players.

But the effect is different from what Lin Hong said.

The teammates looked at Optimus Prime of their team, still so confident and determined, they would not give up hope in their hearts.

"Lin, I will definitely take care of Clyde."

Bowen, who had been blasted for a quarter, spoke solemnly at this time.

"Haha, brother, if you can't do it, I can help."

Big Ben grinned.

"Fuck you, Ben, you'd better get as few bukkakes as possible from Hakim."

Bowen said angrily.

Uh.
Big Ben was speechless for a moment.

Dameng's footsteps were too silky, and the slow motion of his left and right hands made Daben helpless.

"Haha."

Immediately, all the Lakers generals laughed.

"Lin, I will definitely make that damn three-pointer, and I will definitely not let your highlight moment tonight become a mileage tragedy."

In the corner, Bowen suddenly spoke.

Bowen is very popular with the team. Although the past is hard to look back on, after facing the boss, he has secured the Lakers' rotation.

However, as a black hole on the offensive end, it is actually a bit inappropriate for him to say such a thing.

After Bowen said it, he was also a little embarrassed. After all, he was only a draft pick, but he said big words to help Lin Hong keep his honor.

"Haha, yes, my general."

After Lin Hong heard it, he gave full affirmation, and even gave Bo Wen a nickname in a flash of inspiration.

"General!"

When Bao Wen heard that Lin Hong had given him a well-known nickname, his eyes lit up, his face was full of joy, and his fighting spirit was high.

The second quarter begins.

Rockets: Maloney, Mario Eli, Drexler, Barkley and Da Meng.

Lakers: Kobe, Bowen, Horry, Big Ben and Lin Hong.

The Rockets took the lead in attacking.

After Maloney held the ball for halftime, he handed the ball to Barkley. Drexler came up with a pick-and-roll and directly dismantled the Lakers' defense.

Like a heavy tank, Barkley penetrated the Lakers penalty area and directly attracted Lin Hong, who was on the strong side.

Immediately, Barkley passed the ball without looking at anyone and gave it to Mario Eli.

The latter made a decisive three-pointer!
Hit it!

The ball made the Lakers home fans sigh.

The Rockets are in great shape tonight!

The Lakers are on the bench.

Unlike some lost Lakers fans, the Lakers will still have high morale.

The Lakers attack.

This time, Lin Hong didn't immediately go to the low post to ask for the ball, but came to the high post to pick and roll for Kobe.

After the pick-and-roll, hand-to-hand.

Kobe took Barkley away.

Lin Hong hit Drexler with a high back.

Drexler's glider was like paper in front of Lin Hong.

Lin Hong chiseled twice, and Drexler fell directly to the ground.

At this time, the inside of the Rockets suddenly contracted.

Lin Hong saw Bowen who was open in the bottom corner, shook his wrist vigorously, and guided roughly.

The latter catches the ball and hits a three-pointer!
After scoring the goal, Bowen pumped his fist excitedly to celebrate.

Lin Hong is different from the first quarter in the second quarter. He will take on more organizational tasks for the team, and the inside line will revitalize the team and mobilize the state of his teammates, rather than the same as in the first quarter. Same as internal endpoints.

After Lin Hong and Kobe picked and rolled, they continued to hold the ball in a high position.

Drexler switched to Lin Hong again.

This time, Drexler deliberately opened up the distance between Lin Hong and Lin Hong, hoping to use more buffer zones to limit Lin Hong's post-up singles.

Although Drexler can't defend against Lin Hong's strong back, but in the high position, Lin Hong is far from the basket. With his long arms, it is not difficult for him to steal the 216cm Lin Hong.

As long as Lin Hong doesn't pay attention to one or the other, he can easily be intercepted by Drexler.

But at this time, Lin Hong suddenly turned around halfway, and changed from holding the ball with his back to the basket with his face.

This startled Drexler.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Hong made an iron-blooded mid-range shot.

Drexler, belatedly, swooped in.

Unable to block Lin Hong's shot, Drexler resorted to blindfolding.

But then, with a sound of "Shua!", the basketball was hollowed into the net.

This goal surprised Tomjanovich on the Rockets coach's seat.

In the first round of the playoffs, Lin Hong's shooting percentage was very good, but Tomjanovich still stubbornly believed that Lin Hong just ate dumplings.

As NBA players, among the top 500 basketball players in the world, eating dumplings is quite normal.

Howard can play point guard in the Taiwan League!

But what I didn't expect was that Lin Hong's CIC tonight was so bold and confident, without the slightest hesitation.

You know, Lin Hong is the overlord of the penalty area, and his main scoring area is under the basket.

Where did he get his courage?
At this moment, after Lin Hong made a freehand mid-range score, Tomjanovich felt unprecedented fear.

When this big guy has the middle distance, his ball quotient, ball control and destructive power at the basket will make him misplaced against anyone, and become a terrible indiscriminate singles monster! ! !
For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder whether he was right to choose the Lakers as his opponent.
