Chapter 78
"That guy Kobe is keeping his strength!" After the first quarter, Van Gundy asked late about Kobe's performance in the first quarter, and late immediately gave such a response.

Van Gundy agreed: "You're right. I think he will take more shots in the third and fourth quarters. In the first half, he relies on the performance of his teammates to keep the score. He is a confident guy. As long as the gap between the two sides is small, he will I am confident that we will recover the score.”

This is the self-confidence of a super scorer with an average of 35+ per game. In fact, he has almost the same confidence when he is late, but his physical strength is not small, so he is not likely to make such a risky choice.

During the intermission, Van Gundy still directly gave the tactical board to be late, and asked him to continue to arrange and direct the team's offensive tactics.

He didn't refuse to be late, picked up the tactical board and explained it to his teammates. Everyone listened carefully, regardless of the strange eyes of the Lakers fans.

The second quarter began soon, Kobe appeared on the bench, and McGrady led the Rockets alone.

McGrady played very hard. After recovering his health, his strength seems to have returned to the peak. His elegant style of play and amazing physical fitness are his most powerful weapons—except that his shooting stability is slightly worse. .

However, under the request of being late, McGrady reduced the long-range pull-up jumper and focused on breaking through the ball, which is easy to drive his teammates.

Veterans Juwan Howard and David Wesley benefited from this. Both of them received the pass from McGrady and both easily got a shot.

On the other hand, on the Lakers side, without Kobe on the court, Odom, who has recovered a little bit, can't lead his teammates at all. The Lakers not only have a poor offensive rhythm, but also have no rules on the defensive end.

After playing for less than 3 minutes, the Lakers had to ask for a substitution, and Brother Snake went into battle again.

As soon as he played, the Lakers seemed to have found the backbone, but Brother Snake didn't actually make the main attack. He just wanted the ball and sorted it out by himself.

Kobe's organizational ability has never been outstanding. It can be seen that what the point guard Smush Parker usually does is to dribble across the half court, pass the ball to Kobe, and then stand still as a spot-up shooter to contain the defense. Me too.

Tracy McGrady and Kobe lead the team separately, both of them are one of the four shooting guards, and they just played back and forth.

And the play styles of the two are also very similar, they both attack the opponent's inside line, and then look for opportunities to pass the ball to teammates.

The Lakers have a higher hit rate. Today Cook seems to have found the crosshairs, and his efficiency is amazing. Veteran Juwan Howard is also experienced and can't prevent him.

The efficiency of the Rockets is almost there. Even if there is an open opportunity, the Rockets players may not be able to grasp it, wasting several open opportunities.

Unfortunately, McGrady himself didn't feel good today. He tried a few shots from the outside, but the efficiency was not high.

If it was before, McGrady wouldn't care if his hand feels good or not. At worst, he would take more shots and improve his hand feel.

Now under the influence of being late, McGrady attaches great importance to efficiency. With Yao Ming and late arrival as two offensive strengths, McGrady is not used to making wild shots by himself.

It can only be said that the Lakers' role players are actually better than the Rockets' role players-at least the Lakers' role players are in better condition in this game.

Six minutes into the second quarter, the Rockets requested a substitution. Yao Ming and Jumbari came on, Mutombo and McGrady went off to rest, and McGrady had rested for more than three minutes in the second half of the first quarter.

This was unimaginable in the past. With the Rockets lacking players, it is not uncommon for McGrady to play more than 40 minutes for a long time, and even play the entire game.

The best playing time for a player varies from person to person, but in most cases it is between 30 and 33 minutes, which will not cause too much physical burden on the player, and can greatly improve the efficiency of the player. After more than ten years in the future, almost all coaches in the league understand the importance of rest, but there are always a few who like to fuck the main players.

But at this moment, playing less than 35 minutes is simply a humiliation to a star player, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Iverson, Carter, which one is not the average playing time of more than 38 minutes or even 40 minutes per game in the season.

Fortunately, before being late, he had already greeted McGrady, and he had already explained the reason for taking him off the court to take a break. McGrady also accepted his favor from late to get the medicine for the surgery in summer, so naturally there would be no discomfort.

Van Gundy was very quiet on the side, like an apprentice studying hard. Seeing that he was late and took advantage of the short timeout to arrange the team's tactics, Van Gundy couldn't help but sighed in his heart: The more I got in touch with him, the more I realized how terrible this person was late. A true super genius who seems to learn everything very quickly.

Maddie also followed Wan Lai, his eyes were shining brightly, as if he had discovered an unknown treasure.

After the substitution, the game continued, and the Rockets still led by a small score. Because Kobe was hiding his clumsiness, the Lakers did not seize the opportunity when the two giants of the Rockets were away to catch up with the score.

The effect of Yao Ming leading the team is unexpectedly good. He has a high defensive intensity at the basket, and can greatly interfere with the breakthrough of the Lakers players. At the same time, he can also guarantee rebounds. Many people think that Yao Ming's rebounds are not very strong. , the highest season of his career, the rebound average has just reached 10!

But it must be noted that Yao Ming is not the kind of blue-collar player who is only responsible for grabbing rebounds. He has to carry the team's offense on his shoulders, which will inevitably lead to a decline in his rebounding efficiency.

In fact, some clues can be seen from the league's data to determine whether a player is a super center. If a center player can play 25+10 data, then he is a super center.

In fact, in the current entire league, only Yao Ming can do this. Even O'Neal's scoring ability has dropped a lot, and his average score per game is less than 20.

Yao Ming has a high emotional intelligence and has a good relationship with his teammates. Even if his teammates perform badly on the field, he will rarely show emotion.

This reduces the pressure on the Rockets' role players a lot. After all, last season's championship is only ranked seventh in the Western Conference this season!Even if the core players are injured, the rest of the Rockets are also caught and criticized by the media.

The loss of aggressiveness after winning the championship, as well as the media's nonsense, are important reasons for the decline in the strength of these Rockets players.

Yao Ming is very efficient at the basket. He has comprehensive skills and flexible feet, especially a small hook, which is extremely ecstasy. Kwame Brown is at a disadvantage in height and weight. Yao Ming suffers a lot in confrontation and cannot defend at all Live Yao Ming's little hook.

Moreover, Yao Ming has many offensive methods. Sometimes he pulls out to perform pick-and-rolls with his teammates, and stands near the free throw line to make mid-range shots, which also makes Kwame Brown feel extremely uncomfortable.

The Rockets have always grasped the offensive rhythm. After the second quarter, the Rockets have led the Lakers by 12 points, with a score of 58:46. According to NBA rules, the visiting team scores first and the home team scores behind.

In the first half, Kobe's efficiency was mediocre, and his desire to shoot was not strong. He took a total of seven shots and hit three goals!Especially in the second quarter, he barely hit two shots and handed over the burden of offense to his teammates.

Fortunately, Cook stood up and shouldered the heavy responsibility of the team's offense. He scored 20 points in just half of the game, and his efficiency was quite good.

After the halftime break, the Rockets came up again and the lineup changed again. Hayes played the center, David Lee played the power forward, Joan Barry played the small forward, the late shooting guard, and Mucci Norris the point guard.

Basically all the players of the Rockets played today, and even players like Swift got a few minutes of playing time.

Seeing that Late brought the substitute alone, Brother Snake immediately became excited, took over the ball at the beginning of the game, and took the initiative to match up with Late.

"Late, I've been looking forward to this match for a long time, let's really start to compete!"

After all, the speed of Kobe's dribbling hand suddenly accelerated, and the basketball slammed and bounced off the floor. Kobe's shoulders sank, and the powerful force directly pushed away late.

Late groaned secretly in his heart, and the problem of being inferior to Kobe in confrontation immediately became prominent and became his biggest loophole.

But Kobe is suspected of an offensive foul this time, but the referee didn't blow it-because today's referee is Joe Crawford, who is a well-known lake honey.

He didn't dare to neglect when he was late, so he immediately turned around and chased after him.

But Bryant had already jumped up, ignoring the late pursuit and hitting a mid-range jumper.

After landing, Brother Snake Chongdu shook his head, as if he felt that his defense was not worth mentioning.

He didn't care if he was late, he didn't have the arrogance to think that he could single-handedly defend the league's top perimeter player-no one in the league can do this at present.

He had already figured out a way to defend the current Kobe, he could only double-team, or he could only pray that Kobe was not in good condition and felt cold.

It is obvious that Kobe is in excellent form today, at least not a single-defense existence.

At present, only the team center Hayes can compete with Ke Ke in terms of strength and weight on the Rockets court.

Since you can't defend defensively, let's compete by scoring points.

Tactics had already been laid out late, and the Rockets players did not panic and served from the baseline.

He was late and only played 6 minutes in the first half. He had enough energy and started to run without the ball just after halftime.

Hayes sets a late pick-and-roll with two steps from the three-point line, then immediately turns and drives to the hoop, and Mucci Norris passes the ball to Hayes... no wonder.

Hayes is a pure blue-collar and has no impact on the basket at all.

Kwame Brown was taken aback, and immediately turned to chase.

Mucci Norris made a fake move and gave the ball to the late-this guy was a bit messy. According to the tactical arrangement, he should find an opportunity to pass the ball to David Lee. After all, the power forward on the Lakers is now German. George's strength is not very good, it is impossible to guard against David Lee.

But Mucci Norris had good intentions, and it was not easy to get angry if he was late, so he threw it when he raised his hand, and scored when he threw it, three points!

　The state of being dizzy after waking up is not right, it seems that the saved manuscript will be consumed again.
