Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 296 Lure the enemy to attack
In those years, Tracy McGrady was definitely regarded as the top star in the league. If it weren't for injuries, his achievements would not stop there.

McGrady asked for the ball, Sura dared not pass it, and McGrady felt good as soon as he came up, hit jumpers one after another, and scored 7 points in a row. Battier's blindfolded defense had no effect in front of McGrady.

Compared with the Rockets' McGrady, the Lakers are thriving. Because Wesley's position is too obvious, Kobe can easily break through his defense when attacking. Under Van Gundy's strict requirements, the Rockets had to be close The supplementary defense, coupled with the fact that Yao Ming was often awkwardly positioned by Garnett in the high post, gave the Lakers a lot of open opportunities.

When teammates are not Smush Parker, Kwame Brown or D.J. Mbenga, Kobe is still willing to pass the ball to open teammates. Billups and Battier each hit a three-pointer , The more blooming Lakers always lead the Rockets by 4-5 points.

Neither David Wesley nor Joan Barry, the league bum on the bench, has any independent offensive ability, and Bob Sura's organizational ability is not very good. The assists mainly come from sudden points, independent offensive It's not too bad.

So the current Rockets need McGrady on the court very much. Once McGrady is off the court, the team plays like a chicken without a head. No one would expect Scott Padgett or Ryan Bowen to connect the team together.

McGrady was online throughout the first quarter, making 6 of 4 shots and 4 of 2 free throws and scored 11 points. Because of the Lakers' defense, Yao Ming only made 3 shots and made 1 goal, made 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 6 points and 2 rebounds.

鲍勃·苏拉6投2中，得到5分，其中3分球4投1中。

"This Sura, just doesn't pass the ball to Yao Ming, and just hits it with a dull head. Don't look at the goal, but it's not reasonable at all. At least you have to pass Yao Ming's hands. The center position is the most physically demanding. For the matter, Yao Ming was in that difficult position, you made a shot, this, Van Gundy has to talk about him when he goes back.”

The resentment of Chinese fans towards Sura has reached the sky, but Sura said that he was wronged. One of the Lakers' insiders circled the front and half, and the other was on the weak side to help defend. If you receive the ball and make an offensive foul, even if the pass is passed, you will immediately fall into double-teaming, and it is difficult to handle the ball. Instead of passing that kind of meaningless pass, you might as well do it yourself, maybe you will score.

The Lakers' restrictions on Yao Ming are in place. It is difficult for a center with a tank to deal with Yao Ming's inside behemoth with both height, strength, skill and shooting touch. We must start from his weakness and weaken his inside power to the greatest extent.

Watching the Lakers gradually change their rotation, Van Gundy pulled out the note from his pocket, shook his head after reading it, and put it back.

"I guess the only thing on his note was, 'Give the ball to T-Mac,'" Jim caught on and joked with Stevens.

Even if Nene and Artest are suspended, the depth of the Lakers' bench is not comparable to that of the Rockets. No one can solve Wade alone. The situation gradually slides to the side of the Lakers. Lejo and Haslem scored, and the score came to 44 to 27. The Lakers were far ahead. With 6 minutes left in the second quarter, Kobe, who had enough rest, reappeared.

And over there, the Rockets' few points were obtained by Maurice Taylor's mid-range shot and veteran Dikembe Mutombo's second attack. During the time period when Yao Ming was off the court, there were no People can share McGrady's defensive pressure. The Lakers use Battier, Dengtay Jones and Ariza to mark McGrady close to him in turn.

This strategy has undoubtedly worked. McGrady has not rested since the beginning of the game. In the second quarter, McGrady, whose physical fitness has declined, also experienced a sharp decline in hand feeling. He made 4 of 0 shots in a single quarter and did not score.

Sura and David Wesley were put back on the court, replacing Joan Barry and Andre Barrett, who were like cash machines. Under the defense of both of them, Wade ignored the defense. He came and went freely in the restricted area of ​​the Rockets, and he has already scored 6 points and 4 assists. Poor Uncle Mu also suffered a ruthless dunk from Wade because of his supplementary defense.

As the Rockets, apart from Yao Mai, the only point that has a bit of singles ability, even if Jeff Van Gundy is not satisfied with his style of play, he has to rely on Sura to open the situation.

It has to be said that Varejao's acting skills still need to be practiced. The overly exaggerated flops failed to win the favor of the referee. Sura made two consecutive blocking fouls by Varejao. Scoring 4 points and scoring 3 points in a row seems to be the performance of a giant. In the next round, he even ignored McGrady's request for the ball. He dribbled the ball and hit two points. One person played a wave of 7 to 9, and the score was close to 2 points. .

Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Sura feels good. Jim is also worried that he has overturned the car, so he changed back to the starting lineup except Battier. Kobe and McGrady officially faced off, and Wade played against Sura.

The Rockets also switched back to the starting lineup. Yao Ming continued to seek positions in the paint, but the already inflated Sura directly ignored Yao Ming. Facing Wade, after a random shake, he planned to score a three-pointer for this second-year boy Lesson learned.

But he ignored Wade's terrifying bullet speed. This loose three-pointer was directly capped by Wade. After chasing and defending, he took off forcibly, pulled the bar in the air to avoid the chasing cap, changed hands to the other side of the basket to pick the basket and made a hit, which also caused McGrady's foul.

After scoring 2 plus 1, the momentum returned to the Lakers' side.

Looking back, Juwan Howard missed a mid-range shot, Garnett grabbed the rebound, accelerated himself, surpassed Yao Ming and Howard who were desperately returning to defense, and scored with a one-handed dunk.

How did the Lakers play smoothly? Wade made a three-pointer with 24 seconds to go. Billups showed off his mascot slam dunk during the fast break. After the show, the Rockets did not score in a sports game within 3 minutes, and the Lakers played a wave.

With David West's big three-pointer at the buzzer, the Lakers' bench was completely blown up. West himself was a little unbelievable. In training, his three-pointers from the bottom corner were pretty stable, but this There is still a logo shot that is 3 steps away from the three-point line. It can only be said that God blesses you when you enter.

After West hit a three-pointer, Nicholson raised his fists in his seat to celebrate passionately, making a certain socialite next to him who posed beautifully for the camera frown.

The Lakers locked the score at 68-37 at the end of halftime, and played a 38-14 super attack wave in the second quarter. A much-anticipated Christmas game, it seemed that it was going to be a garbage game.
