Start five big embarrassment

Chapter 76

OJ vs. Alstom, the fans are cheering.

Mayo snorted disdainfully, and now anyone really dares to show his presence in front of him.

Mayo made a frontal breakthrough, and Alston's weakness is too obvious. His physique has not reached the NBA level at all. If he avoids 1-on-1 defense as much as possible like Nash, he may be quite difficult to deal with. Excellent, but if you have to enter 1V1 offense and defense, Mayo can just crush him directly!

Skills are only useful when everyone's strength is about the same, and the natural advantages of physique are nothing but skills.

I have to say that Mayo's recent scoring with McGee has really boosted his confidence and his golf quotient. Although his skills have not improved much, his thinking ability has quietly changed, and he plays smarter and more intelligent.

Alstom wanted to block Mayo's strong attack with the ball, but he couldn't do it at all. The strength and volume were not at the same level. Mayo easily entered the Rockets penalty area.

As for their new mid-range defenders, McGee played one and two and left.

Just when Mayo was about to perform a layup, a figure came out very slouch!
He shot out from the side, blocked the referee's sight in parallel with his body, and then threw a hard elbow. The moment he touched Mayo, he was almost smashed to his knees. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Artest!

Gritting his teeth, Mayo wanted to pass the ball, but he couldn't. Artest has too much experience.

Taking advantage of Mayo's loss of balance.

Steal!

Artest got the ball and was ready to throw it to Alston. Now his own athletic ability has declined and he is no longer suitable for fast breaks.

However, when Artest just left the ball, a figure was pasted and copied from the side, and broke the ball as soon as he raised his hand. The big ups and downs in life happened too quickly, and Artest didn't react. Throw it to Boss Al to score.

McGee stepped forward and pulled up Mayo who was gnashing his teeth. Artest was too despicable. Mayo was elbowed hard, and the referee hadn't noticed it at all.

However, Artest has seen Mayo's eyes like this a lot, and those kid who just came to the NBA are like this, crying at every turn, but McGee made Artest frown.

Whether it is the timing or some technical things, McGee gave him a very familiar feeling.

This kid is not easy to deal with, he must be a very difficult character.

McGee and Mayo returned to their own half, and Artest suddenly became a little interested. In the offensive part of the Rockets, Alston attacked with the ball. Now that McGrady is away, the most reliable outside scorer for the Rockets has become Alston. Stone, that's very ironic.

Because of this feeling, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.

However, Alstom's offense was not smooth. Mayo's defense was not very strong but he was stronger and his speed was not bad. He could completely stick to Alston and not give him a chance to tear up the inside space.

Taking a step back, Alston retreated from the three-point line, not betting on balloons, and sometimes took a step back to open up the sky. At this time, Alston found Artest who suddenly ran to the free throw line!
Artest has not participated in the front line of the offensive system for a long time, but this time Artest appeared, Alston still passed the ball immediately.

After receiving the ball, Artest turned and broke through with a smile on his face. At this time, McGee naturally defended him.

Artest was not surprised at all, he even used the breakthrough to get an elbow, this time he ignored Dayao's face and showed no mercy, a kid like McGee should pay some tuition fees.

However, I never expected that the foolproof trick in the past, unexpectedly, failed!
blocked!
McGee's time and strength to block Artest's elbow were outstanding. Artest did not knock down McGee with an elbow, but was blown by a referee on one side to hit someone with the ball, which made Artest unbelievable.

Raising his hand, Artest endured the foul, but the way he looked at McGee became more and more wrong. This kid really is really difficult to deal with.

Artest has not participated in the frontal offense for a long time, but this breakthrough plus dark elbow is a hard-fought experience. Countless super rookies have hated this elbow. It is not a star who has been immersed in the NBA for two or three years and has some experience in the playoffs. Can't stop this at all, Artest like Mayo can knock down three elbows.

But this kid McGee is completely different. Not only did he block it, he was even able to handle it with ease, and because McGee stepped back half a step, Artest's "trick" was exposed, and he even committed a foul! ?

Last time he fouled because of an elbow, the opponent seemed to be in a coma...  

"Boy, you are interesting, I will remember you." Artest said harshly.

McGee didn't take it seriously, after all, Taizi's template card was still in McGee's pocket, if you are really not convinced, we can still hurt each other!
Youth is capital, and McGee is not afraid.

The offense and defense switched, the ball returned to Mayo's hands, and the Timberwolves began to increase the frequency of offense.

How else can I say that Mayo's brain is showing signs of improvement. Now that the Rockets have learned to play with the rhythm, he will improve the rhythm. Anyway, what the opponent doesn't like is what I need to do.

Mayo, McGee, and Mike Miller entered the Rockets' three-point line.

But the strength and judgment of a top defensive player cannot be ignored at any time. When Artest saw Mayo coming, he posted it directly after crossing the center line.

Instead of defending McGee, he defended Mayo.

Due to too many positions, if Mayo can give the ball to Al or Mike Miller now, Artest will not be able to enter the defensive position immediately.

There is a high probability of losing points.

But the Timberwolves' athletic ability is not that good. If they stick to Mayo here, they will lose the transition point. This kind of exchange is still beneficial to the Rockets.

How should I put it, people are old and spirited, and their judgment is correct, but Artest is still quite lazy even if he has reformed himself.

At least he never watched the last Timberwolves game against the Suns. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have started defending Mayo here. Mayo couldn’t move if he was stuck, but he could still pass and run a short distance to Mayo. The easy ball was given to Kevin Ollie who ran over to meet him, and at this time McGee also ran out of the circle to receive the ball.

McGee didn't have a chance to show it today. In fact, he can also be used as a point guard now and then. He can catch the ball accurately and dribble steadily. The Rockets' Alston and Brooks defend McGee together.

Quality is not enough for quantity.

But their defense really poses no threat to McGee.

Now that McGee has undergone three board strengthenings, his physical strength and flexibility have been provided to a greater extent. The boss Al on the inside is actively running to block Dayao. McGee decisively throws the ball to Mike Miller, and the score becomes 6-4. .

In terms of strength, the Rockets and Timberwolves are definitely not at the same level, but if it comes to the bench lineup, then they are really evenly matched.

The Timberwolves are focused on rebuilding, just buy cheap ones to make up the number, the Rockets are focused on saving money, and I will take whoever is cheaper.

In such an environment, Dayao Kong has supernatural powers but has nowhere to display them. He played back and forth for 5 minutes in the opening game and only scored 2 points and 2 rebounds.

The Rockets called a timeout, and Adelman needed to replace the Rockets' lineup.
