full court guidance

Chapter 20 Thank you for your recommendation

Doesn't Van Gundy know the current disadvantage of the Rockets?It is not a reasonable lineup to take the initiative to switch to a short outside line who obviously has problems in defense, and Yao Ming, who moves slowly.

But Van Gundy is really a clever woman who can't cook without rice. At present, there is really no one available for the Rockets. Except for the internal and external core, they are either veterans who have slipped from the top, or rookies who have just entered the league for a year or two. There is really no way.

In fact, even Yao Ming, who is the core insider, is only in his third season this season, and his experience is not very rich.

After returning to the court, Yao Ming was still in poor condition. He hit an iron on the first attack. Facing the double-team defense of Brad Miller and Matt Barnes, Yao obviously had no choice.

Matt Barnes grabbed the rebound, Yao Ming got a little angry, hammered his palm hard, and cursed in a low voice: "Tomatoes!"

The ball reached the Rockets' half court, the Kings players moved actively and actively shared the ball, and the ball reached Kevin Martin.

Martin hesitated for a moment, because the late man's marking was not very tight, so he put half a step away.

In the case of Martin's overall superiority in physical fitness, this half-step distance is quite tempting.

His physical fitness is superb, and his wingspan of 210cm is not particularly outstanding, but it is said that he has an amazing jump of 106cm.

With the advantage of height and wingspan, Martin believes that it is impossible for him to be late enough to interfere with himself.

So Martin decisively chose the bullhorn jumper, bang!
Kevin Martin likes to raise an iron!
He will become a good scorer in the future, but he has not been trained yet. As long as there is a slight interference, his shooting rate cannot be guaranteed.

Yao Ming got stuck under the basket, took off the rebound easily, and gave the ball to Strickland.

The Rockets counterattacked, and Strickland ignored Yao Ming and quickly pushed the ball into the Kings' half. The Kings, who were in a small lineup, were fast and had already set up a defensive formation in their own half, ready to fight.

Seeing that there was no chance, Strickland didn't act recklessly, and stopped on the wing position at the top of the three-point arc, waiting for his teammates to settle down.

When McGrady was on the court, when the ball was in his hands, it would often happen that he held the ball with one hand and stood in a fixed position, and the running positions of the rest of the team would gradually stop, and finally become a strange phenomenon of fixed positions.

Strickland couldn't imitate McGrady's one-handed ball, nor did he have the qualifications to play handsome with one-handed ball and pass the ball to David Wesley.

Wesley tried to choose a breakthrough, but he was already old. Even facing Matt Barnes, who was taller than himself, he had no advantage in speed and suffered a lot in strength, and was blocked by Barnes in the end.

Wesley is not strong either, giving the ball to No. 35 Scott Padgett, who replaced veteran Juwan Howard more than a minute ago, and has not touched the ball until now.

Padgett has range and occasionally has a convulsion performance, but he is not very confident. Even if he is open, he dare not take a shot. The ball fell in his hands and passed back to Strickland.

Strickland received the ball and immediately threw it aside, and the ball was late.

Being late is actually an offensive black hole. Once the ball is in his hands, he basically won't pass it out.

Kevin Martin had been told by Adelman a long time ago, and he was not far away from being late. When he saw that he was getting the ball late, he suddenly became refreshed and said, "Hey, rookie, if you have the guts, just throw the ball and watch me beat you to death. "

He didn't answer late, and glanced inside.

Martin was inexperienced and full of enthusiasm. He had already forgotten that Late had no ability to pass the ball. He thought that Late wanted to pass the ball to Yao Ming. Seeing Late raised his hand, he immediately jumped up and tried to intercept.

I have to say that the young Martin's physical fitness is really strong, and his take-off height on the spot is amazing.

But it was of no use. Late leaned forward, his arm bumped into Martin's body, and he shot a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

The posture of the late arrival of the ball was completely deflected, but the referee also blew his whistle at the same time. Kevin Martin made a defensive foul and made three free throws.

Taking advantage of preparing for free throws, Late whispered to Yao Ming.

"Brother Yao, don't force the shot if you are not in good shape, give me the ball, and I will score."

The tone of these words was not good, but Yao Ming didn't think there was anything wrong.

Yao Ming is big and has a big brain. He knows that even if he is in good form, he is not necessarily a late opponent in terms of scoring efficiency alone. What's more, his state in this game is indeed not good.

"It's so small, don't worry, I won't be impulsive, but you must find a way for me. Now I really feel that my body can't keep up with my brain, and some skills can't be used. This feeling is really uncomfortable."

Late patted Yao Ming's butt and didn't say much.

All three free throws were hit, and the Rockets chased the point difference to two points left.

Then the Kings played beautifully, Brad Miller assisted Matt Barnes to hit a three-pointer, and continued to lead 45:40.

The Rockets' offense was still initiated by Strickland. He made a false pass and gave the ball to Yao Ming inside.

Matt Barnes immediately gave up his opponent and came to double-team. Yao Ming also knew that it was useless to pass the ball to Padgett. He turned his head and looked around, but found that all the passing routes were blocked. Double-teamed and forced a jumper.

But he felt cold in this section, and the ball was seriously interfered by Brad Miller, and the ball was missed.

Fortunately, the ball was lucky, the ball bounced high, Yao Ming adjusted his posture, and grabbed this precious offensive rebound.

The Kings immediately surrounded them, trying to cause Yao Ming to make a mistake. At this critical moment, Yao Ming only heard a familiar Chinese voice: "Outside!"

He didn't care too much, in the cracks of the crowd, he struggled to pass the ball to the outside line, and the one standing there was late.

Cao Zhi, who is very talented, has a poem praising him: "If you control the string and break the left, the right hair will destroy the moon branch."He raised his hand to catch the flying bird, and leaned over to scatter the horse's hooves.

It's a pity that the Yankees' short history did not leave them with such amazing lines. In the TNT commentary booth, the three commentators racked their brains to praise their lateness, and they were satisfied.

Yao Ming who got an assist was also very happy and clenched his fist with one hand.

Although he has a cheerful personality, he is still relatively restrained on the court. When expressing his excitement, he seldom yells.

When returning to the defense and passing by late, Yao Ming shook his fist hard with late.

"Small, good job."

The king's offensive is still like quicksilver, but Kevin Martin destroyed the king's chemistry.

When the ball came into his hands, the young rookie was a little unconvinced. When the opportunity was not very good, he chose to break through with the ball.

Late was not as fast as him, but he reacted ahead of time and blocked Kevin Martin's breakthrough route. Martin elbowed and Late immediately fell to the ground.

"Di Di!"

The referee whistled and Kevin Martin made an offensive foul.

Martin stared at the referee with wide eyes: "Which eye of yours saw my foul? He blocked my breakthrough route!"

The referee was also angry.

Hey, you rookie, think you're a league superstar?Dare to challenge the referee?
So young Martin got another T!

Martin was so angry that he smashed the ball and retreated to his own half angrily.

He made a late free throw and scored the tenth point of the game.

Charles Barkley explained: "It seems that we need to re-examine the defensive level of the No. 66 rookie. Kevin Martin, as the No. 26 rookie in the first round of this year, was unilaterally beaten against the No. 66 rookie. The offensive end or the defensive end, the performance level and competitive state of the two are not at the same level, I think the No. 66 rookie should be the top three rookies this year."

Steve Kerr said: "I agree with your point of view. Let's look back at the games that the No. 66 rookie participated in before. We can find that only in the game against Kobe Bryant did Kobe get a fairly high score. In the rest of the games, almost none of his direct competitors scored high points. I think the defensive level of the No. 66 rookie is already above the league average. As for his scoring ability, I don’t need to say much. Fans who follow NBA games should know that the No. 66 rookie has the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league. I even think that if he can maintain this level of three-pointers, the future structure of the league will definitely change because of him. "

Kenny Smith said: "The fact is true. We all think that Coach Van Gundy is relatively rigid in terms of employment, but he proved to us that coach Van Gundy can also play his role for a rookie as powerful as the No. 66 rookie. In Tracy McGrady During the period after leaving the field, the No. 66 rookie took all the Rockets' points alone, which proves that his current tactical role in the Rockets has been affirmed. We can also see that the Rockets' players are more willing to pass the ball to him. He has conquered his teammates with his strength."

Barkley said with a big mouth: "If it were me, I would also be willing to pass the ball to such a teammate. When the ball is in his hands, the probability of converting it into assist data is more than 50%. He is a good helper for collecting data."

Seeing that Kevin Martin did not show his physical advantages as expected, Adelman made substitution adjustments, the old cat Cutino Mobley came on, rookie Kevin Martin went off, Mike Bibby came on, Eddie Howe Next.

The king's starting lineup, only Chris Webber did not play.

Cutino Mobley caught the ball and made a breakthrough. David Wesley couldn't stop him. Mobley succeeded in breaking through. Yao Ming's deterrence at the basket was still great. With the next point, Darius Sangueira hit the iron with two points from close range.

Yao Ming immediately turned around to get stuck under the basket and took off another rebound.

The Rockets held the ground at halftime, and the ball reached Yao Ming at the basket after several rounds.

Knowing that he was in poor form today, Yao Ming did not forcefully attack this time, and immediately passed the ball outside before the king double-teamed.

Catch the ball late, raise your hand and shoot.

But the old cat Mobley is not a rookie like Kevin Martin. He reacted very quickly, jumped up and straightened his hand, just in time to touch the ball.

When he was late, he immediately yelled: "Rebound!"
