Chapter 23 The collection is growing steadily in single digits every day

Late hit consecutive three-pointers, and finally stopped Adelman who didn't like to call a timeout.

During the long timeout of 100 seconds, the TNT commentary seat started a discussion on the recent consecutive unreasonable three-pointers who were late.

Kenny Smith said: "We can see from the data of the No. 66 rookie that he almost never passes the ball. Once the ball is in his hands, he will basically not pass it out again. Then the problem comes, this style of play is obvious. It should be a team black hole, a team cancer, but why did the late performance get the approval of almost everyone?"

Charles Barkley laughed: "I think you are wrong. The definition of a team cancer is not whether someone can pass the ball. The ultimate goal of a basketball game is to score and win the game. Being late proves with his own strength. He uses the most cancerous style of play, and his scoring efficiency is higher than that of many 'superstar' players, so why does he still pass the ball?"

Steve Kerr said: "I think you are all paying attention to the wrong focus. The role of being late is actually very simple, that is, to open up the shot. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to arrange special marking for this kind of player. But today We can see that neither the old cat Mobley nor Kevin Martin, who has an overall advantage in physical fitness, has no way to effectively limit the late scoring. I think this is his scariest place."

When Steve Kerr just retired, his three-point shooting percentage was astonishingly high. His career 47.1% three-point shooting percentage was enough to make many players feel ashamed.

When it comes to commenting on the late [-]-point threat, Steve Kerr is the one who has the most say.

Barkley said: "That's right, that's why we all like to be late. Before he appeared, almost everyone was artificial. Guys who floated outside and shot were softies. But today, being late today with his three consecutive hits Point shots, including two unreasonable logo three-pointers showed us that even three-pointers can make people excited."

The TNT staff cooperated tacitly. As soon as Barkley's words fell, the TV screen immediately cut to the reaction of the fans and the coach when he was late and hit a few three-pointers.

Van Gundy was emotional, clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead were about to pop out.

Adelman held his forehead with one hand, his face full of pain and helplessness.

The fans were rejoicing, cheering and applauding endlessly.

When the screen ended and cut back, Kenny Smith immediately said: "To be honest, I didn't really like being late before this. Even if he scored very efficiently, I didn't think his strength was enough to support him to become a superstar. Wasting time on the court, he might as well engage in scientific research, so that our human technological level can continue to improve, but after watching today's game, I realized that the late scoring is really unreasonable, just like his The scientific research achievements are the same! I think Van Gundy should design more offensive tactics for Late, the current Rockets' offensive routines are still too monotonous, and even the simplest pick-and-roll coordination is rarely seen."

Just when the timeout ended, Barkley hurriedly changed the topic back to the game: "Obviously, after Tracy McGrady left the court, the ball gradually concentrated on Yao Ming. Yao and Late, the two Chinese players, were very understanding, especially Yao. I trust Late very much. Under Late's continuous three-pointer offensive, the Rockets quickly caught up with the score. You must know that not long ago, they had staged an epic comeback from a 28-point deficit. Let us look forward to it , whether today's rocket can stage such a miracle again."

Adelman has never been a defensive coach, and since he could not prevent late scoring, Adelman decided to use a strong attack to beat the Rockets, so he sent the starting five to play again.

Except for Matt Barnes, these five people have hardly rested much. How much energy they have left is open to question.

In fact, although Kevin Martin is only a rookie, he is the best player in the Kings to defend against late arrivals.

Because he is young and strong, and his height and wingspan have a huge advantage. Friends who have played wild ball know that, let alone someone who is [-] to [-] centimeters taller, even someone who is [-] centimeters taller than you can easily defend you.

He is late and has no offensive ability with the ball. When the ball is in his hands, he can only throw it out.

Kevin Martin doesn't need to think about other things, as long as he tries his best to block late shots, block shots if he can block shots, and interfere as much as possible if he can't block shots, he can definitely limit late scoring.

But Adelman is so willing to make foolish moves, he thinks the Kings' smooth offense is enough to beat the Rockets.

The Princeton system of the Kings is very mature. The players move actively and cooperate smoothly with passing and receiving the ball. There are Mobley and White Devil Bibby as shooters on the periphery, so that the Rockets cannot shrink their defense to the basket.

After a few rounds, the Rockets were emptied at the basket, and the flamboyant power forward Chris Webber took the ball and challenged Yao Ming.

Webber was extremely strong at his peak, but he suffered a serious injury last season, and his strength has declined significantly this season. In fact, many black players are playing with their bodies. Omnipotent, once seriously injured, will soon sink.

At his peak, Tim Duncan could support the Spurs' defense alone. He was able to defend from the fifth position to the first position. It opened the distance of a "second power forward" from other power forwards in the league.But after several serious injuries, Deng Daidai's defensive ability declined, but his basic skills were solid. With his weird and unpredictable rebounding and shooting, and Zhuge Weiqi's control of his playing time, he still maintained for a long time. The pinnacle of time.

If it weren't for those serious injuries, it is estimated that Lao Zhan is still waiting for his own future.

Garnett, who is often compared with Duncan, was also a person who could support a team's defensive system at his peak, but after a serious injury, he was no longer as dumb as Duncan.

As one of the top three forwards at this time, Weber is pretty good, at least he still has a basket. Although Yao Ming interfered with the ball, Weber still hit the rebound.

Yao Ming had a calm mind and did not fluctuate because of the loss of the ball. He returned to the baseline and served to veteran Wesley, and the Rockets continued to attack.

The Rockets' conduction ball is completely incomparable with the Kings. In fact, Van Gundy still has the ability to train the team. The Rockets can only enter the playoffs by virtue of their tough defense.

But if you talk about the talent in training and attacking, Van Gundy's ability is about zero.

The Rockets' current style of play is very simple. Give the ball to McGrady and let McGrady attack with the ball. Either choose to break through and score the ball, or shoot by himself.

If McGrady doesn't feel good, Yao Ming is the team's second choice. With Yao Ming's height and weight inside, he will strive to cause damage.

It sounds complicated, but in short, it is actually a giant planet.

McGrady's strength has not yet reached the level where he can kill the game alone, and Yao Ming is only the rookie's future insider overlord. Therefore, the Rockets can indeed win a lot of victories by relying on the combination of these two as the core of the inside and outside, but their games are almost There are few big-score massacres.

As long as the Rockets' opponents restrict these two cores, even if they may not be able to win, it is enough to play back and forth with them.

This is also the most worrying thing for Rockets fans. Watching the Rockets game, you really need to prepare quick-acting rescue pills. It is worthwhile to play against a strong team, but it is not guaranteed to win against a weak team. The standard pseudo-strong team.

Until the late arrival, the rocket's giant planet finally had a best support point, an effective terminator.

This is why Late was able to gain Van Gundy's trust in a short period of time just by relying on an amazing three-pointer.

Now that McGrady is not on the court, the Rockets have not changed their offensive strategy, but the starting point of holding the ball has changed from McGrady to David Wesley.

The veteran's breakthrough threat is naturally not as good as McGrady's. Seeing Yao Ming's position in the interior, Wesley immediately passed the ball.

Yao Ming played very hard, dribbled the ball with his back, leaned hard on Brad Miller, forced a little distance, and hit a jumper from close range.

Yao Ming's shooting touch is soft, he is tall, and with a coquettish little fadeaway, it is difficult for the defensive player facing him to block his ball.

The ball returned to the Kings, and Mike Bibby got a misplaced opportunity. He broke through Scott Padgett and caused a foul, and made both free throws.

The Rockets advanced to the half court, and Bob Sula drove the ball into the King's inside line and gave the ball to David Wesley on the outside.

Wesley didn't feel good today. He didn't dare to shoot in the half-open state and gave the ball to Scott Padgett.

Padgett was in excellent form today, with an amazing shooting percentage. After getting the ball, he aimed at the basket and made a mid-range jumper.

It's a pity that the goal didn't go in. Fortunately, Yao Ming got stuck under the basket, grabbed the offensive rebound, yelled and threw the ball to the outside line late.

Mobley is already very alert, he has been following late, not daring to give him any space to shoot.

Yao Ming passed the ball very quickly, and Mobley didn't dare to try to steal it. He knew that with the late three-pointer, as long as he dared to reach out rashly, the opponent might complete the shot.

"bring it on!"

The old cat also wanted to win this game, so he gave Late a fight, and tried to interfere with Late with words: "Let me see..."

As soon as he uttered three words, Late ignored Mobley's defense and shot with his hands open.

Not only is his shot speed fast, but the arc of his shot is also very high. Mobley stretched out his hand to interfere, but he could only cry in vain.

"Three-point hit! From late!"

At 106:95, the Rockets were still 11 points behind.

Mobley put his hands on his hips and looked helplessly at the coach's bench.

He is a little taller than Late, but Late's shot speed is rarely seen in the league, and his anti-interference ability is extremely strong. Mobley has no confidence in being able to guard him.
