Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 954 Don't be fooled

In the past, Yao Ming's style of play was the traditional center forward's style of play, inside or low position to attack with the ball, reduce dribbling as much as possible, get the ball or jump shot, or low post, turn over hook, etc.
Now after transforming into a "spatial fifth position", Yao Ming has lost a lot of weight and his confrontation ability has declined, but his speed has increased, his three-point shots have increased, and he has also developed breakthrough ability.

Of course, the breakthrough is only auxiliary.

After all, Yao Ming is too tall, and his dribbling is also high. In addition, there is still a gap in speed compared to defenders. If he dribbles too much, he is still easy to be cut off.

Both sides failed to score in the next two rounds. Qin Hao took the rebound by himself and passed the ball to Iverson after advancing to the frontcourt. Iverson broke through with the ball, but the chance was not good. After two passes Afterwards, the basketball returned to Qin Hao's hands. Qin Hao caught the ball and changed direction, passing Martin in one go.

Qin Hao didn't pass the ball, and went straight to the inside, facing Yao Ming. The purpose was very clear, to cause damage, just like playing against the Magic. As long as he fouled Yao Ming two or three times early, his defensive threat would be great. discount.

"Ok?"

However, when Qin Hao rushed to the inside and jumped towards Yao Ming, Yao Ming didn't jump at all, he just stood still and raised his hands.

Don't be fooled.

Qin Hao grinned and used a throw.

There is no way, even if Yao Ming does not jump, but the height of [-] meters stands there, and his hands are raised to form a wall. Many defenders rely on speed and explosiveness to face Yao Ming. The rhythm is faster than Yao Ming, but If it is against Yao Ming, it will not be so easy.

I saw Yao Ming standing on tiptoe and raising his right hand high. If Qin Hao hadn't been smart and used a throw, the ball might have been blocked by Yao Ming.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

"It's a pity." Yao Ming felt a little regretful, "This kid is really cunning."

Tens of seconds later, Qin Hao broke through again, still going straight to Yao Ming, and shot at Yao Ming, but Yao Ming was the same as before, he didn't jump at all, and he didn't give him a chance at all.

But this time Qin Hao's throw was not able to score, and the interference was a bit big.

"Brother Ming really doesn't dance." Qin Hao was a little helpless. Yao Ming never danced, and it was not easy for him to make fouls. This strategy was a failure.

After that, Qin Hao didn't try to make any more fouls. Yao Ming couldn't help laughing when he saw that he wasn't coming at him, "Xian, can I still be fooled by you?"
Yao Ming guarded the inside line like an iron tower, which brought great interference to the 76ers on the defensive end. Even Qin Hao's impact on the basket was greatly reduced, let alone others.

So the 76ers mainly shoot from outside, but the effect is not very good. After all, once you rely too much on outside shooting, the opponent will defend in a targeted manner, and the effect is often not very good.

On the offensive end, Yao Ming can not only get to the three-point line to shoot three-pointers and open up space, but also can attack in the low post, grab second rebounds, etc.
After a few minutes, the score became 17:10, and the Rockets led by 7 points.

"Our rebounding is very bad." Assistant coach Harry looked at the data record in his hand, "The Rockets have 4 more rebounds than us, and two of them are offensive rebounds."

"Yeah." Coach Luke nodded.

Although expected, this situation is still a headache.

Coach Luke called a timeout, and when the players came down, he began to substitute: "Brand, you go off. Iguodala, you go on." Then he spread out the tactical board, "We will only fall behind in positional warfare." We are at a disadvantage, and later we must speed up the offensive and defensive rhythm, and fight more counterattacks."

Qin Hao's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

"The inside line is too disadvantaged."

"Yeah, Yao Ming is helpless. A center in his [-]'s can shoot three-pointers and occasionally break through with the ball. How can he defend against that?"

"I feel that Yao Ming is stronger now than last season. I didn't expect him to be so strong at his age and suffered serious injuries."

"The main reason is that he changed his style of play. Tsk tsk, the center can still play like this. The entire Rockets' tactical system is different from before. Yao Ming not only increased the outside shooting points, but also opened up the space and responded. Pay attention Is it there? It’s only been a few minutes, and Yao Ming has sent out two assists.”

"Huh? I really didn't pay attention to this."

In the auditorium, the fans were discussing.

There is no doubt that the Rockets played better in these few minutes, especially Yao Ming, who scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block.

Meanwhile, the pause ends.

The two sides returned to the court, Qin Hao took the ball in the backcourt, advanced it to the frontcourt and passed it to Iverson, he started to move, and the others also moved, inside and outside, Qin Hao walked in, the two passed by each other , Nene made a cover for Qin Hao. Qin Hao got rid of Martin and ran along the bottom line to the three-point line in the right bottom corner.

"ball."

Qin Hao opened his hand, and the ball from his teammate passed over immediately. Qin Hao took the ball and made a three-pointer.

This ball made Coach Adelman's heart skip a beat, and he quickly reminded the Rockets players: "Pay attention to supplementary defense, don't miss anyone, and be careful of three-pointers."

Yao Ming and the others nodded in unison.

The Rockets attacked. Lowry came to the front court and asked for a pick-and-roll. Yao Ming mentioned the line and passed the ball back to Yao Ming. Yao Ming took a look at the situation on the court. Martin ran over and he passed the ball. The ball was given to Martin, and by the way, he made a screen for Martin. Martin got rid of the defense and shot a jumper directly.

boom!
Did not enter.

Speights took the rebound and passed it to Qin Hao immediately. Qin Hao took the ball and launched a quick counterattack. Take the ball and rush to the basket, attract the defense and then distribute the ball to Iguodala who followed up in the middle.

Iguodala hugged the ball, bent his legs, and kicked on the floor. He rose into the air, stretched his body in the air, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and smashed a dunk with one hand.

Bang!
There was an explosion, which attracted cheers and cheers from the fans.

17: 15!

It took only a moment to come back from the timeout, less than 1 minute, and the 76ers scored two goals in a row, narrowing the difference between the two sides to only two points, which made the home fans very excited.

"This ball is fantastic."

"Yeah, the counterattack was so fast, Iguodala dunked before I could react."

The sound of discussion reached Coach Adelman's ears, and he frowned.

From his eyes, it can be seen that the 76ers have changed their style of play, no longer playing positional warfare, but instead playing fast counterattacks. The speed of offense and defense has accelerated, and their inside advantage cannot be brought into play.

For the ball just now, Scola had just returned to his own three-point line, Yao Ming had just passed the center line, but the 76ers had already completed their offense.
