full court guidance

Chapter 14
In the second quarter, the Rockets' offensive efficiency dropped significantly. Except for late and Yao Ming, other players could not put too much pressure on the offensive end. If it weren't for the late 3-for-3, the Mavericks would have already overtaken the score.

In the last two rounds, Jason Terry insisted on being late and did not give him a chance to make a call.

I also tried late, and once made a three-pointer from the outside, but was seriously interfered by Jason Terry and missed the goal.

The Rockets' backup power forward Maurice Taylor has averaged about 23 minutes per game this season and scored 7.8 points. His efficiency is not high and he can't give Yao Ming too much help.

The old Nelson's adjustment worked, the Rockets missed two consecutive offenses, and the Mavericks scored successively, the score became 50:54.

The TNT commentary seat has also seen that the situation is wrong, and Charles Barkley immediately analyzed: "The players on this Rockets team, Yao Ming and Late are both offensive and defensive, especially Late, if he can get an open shot , his three-pointer will be fatal. But the other three players of the Rockets have limited offensive ability, so the Mavericks can focus more on these two people, and the disadvantage of being late is also obvious. Even passing the ball is a bit reluctant, which greatly reduces the power of his three-pointers. The players defending him can focus on his shooting. The Rockets need to make some changes. A powerful assaulter is likely to Change the situation on the pitch."

Van Gundy also quickly made adjustments. McGrady played again after a 2-minute break. The Rockets once again played a "triangle offense" with their own characteristics.

This kind of adjustment was immediate. The Mavericks advanced extremely fast, but the Rockets remained unmoved, grinding their positions at halftime and focusing on the success rate.

After all, McGrady is the two-time scoring champion, and no one dares to underestimate his scoring ability. With his breakthrough and scoring, the Rockets' offense immediately improved.

Yao Ming got a singles opportunity, dunked Bradley, responded late with a three-pointer, and shot him again in front of Jason Terry.

With 3:10 left in the third quarter, he was replaced late by Bob Sura. In this quarter, he played 8 minutes, made four of five three-pointers, no free throws, scored 12 points, and still maintained a very high score efficiency.

After coming off the field late, the Rockets' offensive rhythm was even slower. In the remaining 3:10 seconds, the Rockets only got 5 shots in total. This also led to a low score between the two sides in the second quarter. The Rockets led by two points with 61:59.

The players enter the locker room to rest, but the commentary will not call it a day.

Charles Barkley is sighing: "I don't think the Rockets are actually a team suitable for being late. The Rockets' half-court offensive tactics have greatly wasted his talent. If he joins a fast-paced team, I think he'll score more."

Kenny Smith continued: "At present, we can see that Coach Van Gundy is still relatively cautious in using him. It seems that he intends to play more than a dozen or 10 minutes late in every game. This is actually a good thing. , This at least proves that Coach Van Gundy has a complete plan, indicating that late has gained a firm foothold in the NBA, but I think he should improve his strength even more. For now, his weaknesses are still very obvious. Not having the ability to attack with the ball has greatly affected his offensive options, and I don’t think he seems to have any off-ball running ability, which makes him almost have no open shots. Speaking of this, late still maintains an amazing three-pointer Hit rate, today even 3 shots against Jason Terry's defense, it is really scary to be able to maintain such a high hit rate."

Earl Johnson immediately snapped up and said: "No, no, I don't think this is terrible at all. The Rockets' tactics are based on positional offense, and we all know that McGrady likes to hold the ball at the top of the three-point line and then look for the ball. Opportunity to break through, he needs his teammates to stand in a fixed position and wait for the ball to be scored, so the late off-ball running ability has no chance to show."

As he spoke, he paused, pretending to be mysterious and said: "And I think even if he doesn't have the ability to move without the ball, as long as he is willing to learn, it will definitely not be difficult for him."

"Oh? Is Earl so confident in him?" Charles Barkley asked with a smile.

Earl immediately threw him a thick stack of documents: "Let's talk about it after you read this. I dare say that in the entire NBA, no one is smarter than him."

"What is this?" Charles Barkley exclaimed, pretending to read in front of the camera lens, "About the division and isolation of the base number of genes?"

Just seeing this title, Sir Charles shook his head vigorously, and said exaggeratedly: "Damn it, I know every single word on it, but I can't understand what they mean when they are put together. Let me have a look at the next one." What's the portion?"

"The role of what element in cold nuclear fusion?" Charles Barkley was a little uncertain, pointing at the beginning of the file, creating the camera and shouting, "Damn, what is this symbol, I don't know it at all, please, can someone please Professionals come and explain to us what this is."

Kenny Smith leaned over curiously: "Let me see, cold nuclear fusion, I seem to have heard of this term, I remember it is a fictional energy source in comics, right?"

Earl Johnson had a smirk on his face: "Now you know why I almost didn't speak in the first quarter, because when I saw these things, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. These papers come from SCI journals in the past two years, do you understand SCI journals? It is the gathering place of the highest scientific and technological theories of mankind, and those who can publish papers there are top scientists."

It is certain that Smith and Charles Barkley showed confused expressions at the same time: "Hell, Earl, do you mean that these things in my hand are papers from top scientists? What does this have to do with us NBA players?"

Earl Johnson said: "These are the recent papers published by our No. 66 rookie. To be honest, I feel like a fool when I see these things."

He smiled like a dick, and continued: "I asked the backstage to consult some professionals, but many people said that they couldn't understand these papers, and these papers involved energy, bioengineering, electronic information, etc. Multiple fields, at least it proves that our No. 66 rookie is an absolute super talent, he should be a scientist, not here on the court with us muscular fools."

"No, no, no, I won't believe what you said, it's impossible." Charles Barkley immediately expressed his disbelief.

Earl Johnson said: "Charles, why don't we make a bet, if these papers are the works of our No. 66 rookie, you can kiss Kenny's ass, if not, let me do it, how?"

Ever since he lost a bet on Yao Ming last time, Barkley has been very sensitive about betting. He immediately showed suspicion and kept waving his hands: "No, no, no, I won't bet with you. You must get it." What inside information."

After all, he shouted at the camera: "Staff in the backstage, please contact professionals as soon as possible to see if our No. 66 rookie is really a super genius as Earle said, he Should be a scientist."

The TNT commentary booth was noisy for a long time, and it also attracted the attention of many viewers in front of the TV.

When the second half started, the super scientist everyone cared about arrived late but didn't get a chance to play. He sat on the bench throughout the third quarter.

In this quarter, the Rockets were so good that they exploded. The team took 23 shots in a single quarter and hit 16 goals. Among them, five of six three-pointers were made, and the overall shooting rate was close to 70%.

In this quarter, McGrady took up the banner of offense. He was in excellent form. He took seven shots and made five hits, including all three three-pointers. He scored 13 points in a single quarter. He also had eight assists. rebound.

Veteran Juwan Howard may have played in the front, and he still maintained a very high shooting rate in this quarter. He made six shots, hit four, scored eight points and had three rebounds.

David Wesley was also 7 of 5, hit 3 of 12 outside three-pointers, scored [-] points, [-] assist, and [-] rebound.

Yao Ming played soy sauce in this quarter, hit 3 out of 2 shots, only scored [-] points, [-] block, [-] steal, and no rebounds.

The Rockets have a relatively concentrated possession of the ball, and none of the other players on the field scored. It all depends on these four players scoring points.

The Mavericks felt normal, but in the face of the Rockets' strong defense, they only got 17 shots in a single quarter, and the team only scored 24 points in a single quarter!
A certain venom-spitting mamba took more shots in a single quarter than the Mavericks as a whole.

But this is also normal. Being late and not playing has actually had some impact on the Rockets.

At present, the late defensive ability is not bad, but his three-pointers are a bit unreasonable, which has virtually improved the Rockets' offensive speed. Without late, the Rockets' half-court offense is unreasonable. Prevent the life from being unable to take care of oneself.

The Rockets led the Mavericks 98:83 into the final quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming played for 2 minutes and then went to rest. The Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki hit all 3 shots and scored 7 points. Finley also showed his strength and scored 11 points.

But the point difference between the two sides is too big, McGrady still continued his fiery state, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, and the late player who played in the first half of the fourth quarter also fired frequently from the outside. He made 7 shots in the fourth quarter and hit 4 goals. Get 12 points.

最终火箭队客场130：114大胜小牛16分，取得了客场3连胜，顺利将战绩提升到了19-16，暂列西部第七。

Late in the game, he still maintained an amazing shooting rate. He played 15 minutes and made 12 of 8 three-pointers. He scored 24 points and shot 66%.

After the game ended, a large wave of media excitedly surrounded the latecomers, and attacked them with long guns and short guns.
