Chapter 69 Yao Style Big Hot Pot

At 2003:12 pm on December 17, 10, Toyota Center Arena.

In the commentary booth, Kenny Smith took over the commentary materials, but did not open the review, and directly talked about the Rockets' starting lineup, and said to Barkley next to him: "Judging from Jeff Van Gundy's rigorous personality, I can almost guess Jeff Van Gundy's starting lineup without looking at the data, can you believe it? Do you want to take a bet?"

Barkley shook his head and said with a smile: "If you want to have this bet, the most I can offer is to treat you to a hamburger. If you want to bet on kissing your ass, then it's free.

Jeff Van Gundy is a stubborn defensive coach. It's not uncommon for his opponents to guess his starting lineup with their eyes closed.

Judging from the Rockets' lineup, on the outside, the point guard and shooting guard are naturally their star guards Steve Francis and Cutino Mobley, and the inside line is center Yao Ming without looking. Kevin Cato, who switched from center to power forward.

So the real difficulty is nothing more than the small forward, Maurice Taylor with excellent offense and poor defense, and Jim Jackson with balanced offense and defense. How can you guess? "

"Yes, so in this game, Jeff Van Gundy will play Jim Jackson at the small forward." Kenny Smith directly took over the topic, and then looked at the starting lineups of the two sides, and it was exactly as expected. .

Kenny Smith continued: "It's a little surprising that the Cavaliers started the game. Although the lineup is not unfamiliar, the roster has changed a lot. LeBron James at the 1st position, Lin Bai at the 2nd position, and Lin Bai at the 3rd position. Jason Kapono, Carlos Boozer at No. 4, and Zajunas Ilgauskas at No. 5.

Just looking at the lineup, the Cavaliers' tactics in this game should be based on offense. As for defense, except for James, the other four players are not good at defense.However, the Rockets should be careful about the mid-range shooting ability of the Cavaliers lineup, especially their three-point shooting ability, which is really good.

For example, Lin Bai's three-pointer after the screen is really a headache. I just don't understand why Lin Bai, who has never started a game, appears in the starting list. Is it because of the so-called Huaguo Derby? "

"Really?" Barkley turned his head, glanced at the list of players, and said with a smile: "Whether it's for the Huaguo Derby? Or there are some tactical arrangements we don't know about, this matchup will be more interesting.

If you think about it, the Rockets almost don't need to guess their tactics. They all know that defense is the first priority. If the Cavaliers also play defense first, they don't need to watch the scene of this game, and they know how ugly it will be.

Now the Cavaliers focus on attacking and winning, and they are duel with the Rockets to win defensively. One offense and one defense. "

Kenny Smith nodded, and said with a smile: "Hearing what you said, there is some truth to it. If the scene is too ugly, it will be a pain for both the audience and the commentator. The audience doesn't want to spend money to find it." Not happy, of course, except for the two of us, let us see what kind of surprises the two teams, one offense and one defense, can bring us, let us try and wait!!"

After a simple warm-up shot, the starting lineups of both sides came to the middle circle of the basketball court and were preparing to scramble for the ball.

骑士队首发五人，一字排开，1号位勒布朗-詹姆斯、2号位林白、3号位杰森-卡波诺、4号位卡洛斯-布泽尔、5号位扎诸纳斯-伊尔戈斯卡斯。

火箭队也排出了他们的首发阵容，1号位史蒂夫-弗朗西斯、2号位卡蒂诺-莫布里、3号位吉姆-杰克逊、4号位凯文-卡托、5号位姚铭。

Whoa!
With the whistle of the referee,
The basketball referee threw it high from his hand, and the ball scrimmage between the two sides officially started.

Yao Ming VS Zajunas-Ilgauskas!

Ilgauskas is 221cm tall. Since the beginning of the new season, except for facing Kevin Garnett and accidentally being robbed of the basketball, he has won 24 wins and 23 loss in 1 jump ball games. In all fairness, he is The king of scrimmage with the undefeated crown.

However, facing the 226cm Yao Ming, although Ilgauskas had a calm face, he felt a little weak in his heart. This time, I might not be able to compete with him.

Sure enough, Yao Ming taught Ilgauskas an impressive lesson as soon as the game started.

Yao Ming jumped up and put the basketball in the hands of Cuttino Mobley.

Yao Ming is 5 cm taller than Ilgauskas. He has not gained any serious weight and can bounce well.

Besides, Yao Ming is focused and rigorous, and strives to fight for every ball. He is more relaxed than Ilgauskas. He is better than the opponent in every aspect of the jump ball. He is not afraid of any player. challenge.

Yao Ming easily fought for the ball and won, and the Rockets got the ball to attack first.

Cutino-Mobley has almost no ability to pass the ball. However, he has a good relationship with Francis. After a bit of luck, it was a half-court long pass.

There is nothing technical about this pass, and it goes between James and Francis.

This is a dangerous knife mountain ball.

James is very talented. Although he has not yet reached his peak, his speed of 10 seconds per 4 meters is not easy to deal with. He tries hard to reach out to steal the ball.

It's just a pity that Francis' physical fitness is also extremely strong, and he can even be regarded as one of the most powerful point guards. He has a body as strong as a small forward, and has an amazing jumping ability. His speed is extremely fast. He was nicknamed "" Blink', the meaning is self-evident, that is, in the blink of an eye, you can get rid of the defense and score a layup.

Although his peak period is a bit short, but in terms of physical fitness and speed, he is not afraid of anyone.

James is also extremely fast, but he has his back to the basket and turns around to defend, and he is not as resolute in counterattacking as Francis, so he cannot improve his speed.

He could only watch as Francis took the basketball away, took advantage of the situation, dribbled the ball two or three times, and drove straight in.

Entering the restricted area, one step to the free throw line, he jumped up holding the ball, folded, retracted and released in the air, and a one-handed tomahawk dunk came directly, smashing the basketball into the basket heavily.

Folding Tomahawk Dunk in the Air! !

As soon as the game started, Francis used his forte to give the Cavaliers a blow.

2 to 0, the Rockets took the lead!

Barkley exclaimed: "Francis's ball will incorporate beautiful street basketball into it. It's really amazing. His physical fitness is too strong. James' talent is already excellent, but he is still not as good as Francis."

Kenny Smith nodded, and added: "Francis' offensive destructive power is really too strong. As far as attacking James is still a bit inferior, but in terms of potential and upper limit, Francis is still a little bit worse.

However, the gap between the two in this game is not too big, it depends on how James will respond. "

Offensive and defensive transition, the Cavaliers attack, James dribbled the ball across the half court, and watched the frontcourt. I only saw that the Rockets were defending the zone defense.

James did not choose to play hard, but hung the basketball to Ilgauskas who wanted the ball inside.

In the low position on the left, Ilgauskas took the ball and singled out Yao Ming, the little giant of the East!

Yao Ming used his flexible pace and close defense to deny Ilgauskas a chance to attack.

Ilgauskas had a shoulder to open the space, and found that Yao Ming, who had entered the NBA for a year, couldn't open the space. With his height at a disadvantage, he could hardly shoot from the frame.

Since he couldn't attack the front frame, Ilgauskas dribbled the ball with his back and leaned against Yao Ming, squeezed twice with his back to open up some space, and then turned around to shoot with his body.

Yao Ming is a bit smart in his game, and he jumped up to block the shot. In fact, he didn't have a jumper, and his center of gravity was not misplaced.

Ilgauskas turned around and squeezed into the inside lane, wanting to complete a one-handed split dunk, but unexpectedly, Yao Ming jumped over from the side, jumped up, and slapped the basketball directly on the backboard.

wow.

This is a nail in the hat. At the beginning, Yao Ming treated Ilgauskas to a big hot pot! !
This is Yao Ming's pegboard hat! !

We look at the replay, right there it stops.Did you see that, Yao Ming has the wisdom of the East, and he actually pretended to take a fake move. Then, he used his flexible steps, turned back, jumped up, and slammed Ilgauskas's dunk on the backboard neatly. superior. "Barkley said loudly with disbelief on his face, his eyes wide open.

"I really can't figure it out, Yao, how can he use his head so well even though his body is like a little giant? He can use it as he likes on the basketball court.

And Ilgauskas used his attack this time to endorse what is called a stupid big man, and the two are not at the same level at all.Who said that Yao Ming's upper limit template is Ilgauskas'?If you say this, please take the initiative to kiss the ass of the donkey, and I will bring the donkey here for you.Let you kiss as much as you want! !Ha ha…"
